I am really thankful that though the film had been released last [...]

I watched Slumdog Millionaire a few days back. I had been wanting to write a post about it for quite some days, but the new issue of Ichchhamoti was a priority, so I put back the idea of posting about the film for a few days.
Well, now that Slumdog have won eight Oscars, and the [...]

After a hiatus of nine years, I went back to enjoy the thrills of the Kolkata Film Festival this year. It was almost like going back to university days, hopping from one hall to another in the Nandan-Rabindra Sadan complex, sipping sugar- infested tea and munching popcorns in between. I skipped the morning shows. I [...]

A few days back, I went to watch Sarkar Raj at Nandan. It was after ages that I went and stood in a queue, with anticipations about whether I will get the tickets or not, and then rushed into the hall after the final bell rang, and the reel had started rolling. In fact, it [...]
