Kapil’s Korner

Last weekend was a bore. Sick and down with no action at all. Read a lot and caught up with ‘How I met your mother’ season 2, finally. To kill the sickness blues I went DVD shopping. And I was in a total retro mood thanks to my current read – Bollywood by Mihir Bose. [...]

Last night the MacBook refused to go online. After a 2 hour struggle it just won’t work. So I gave up. Which lead me to dig out the DVD of Harishchandrachi Factory [Theatrical Trailer] – A Marathi film depicting the struggle of Dadasaheb Phalke in making Raja Harishchandra in 1913, India’s first feature film, thus [...]

  After a working weekend, you desperately seek a way to end the Sunday night with something nice so that your energy levels are charged up for yet another grinding week. I think buying advance tickets for “The Hangover” evening show was the best thing to do. If you don’t have the time to read [...]

Membership to a DVD library really tempts you to call for a movie every night. But I guess getting one movie a week is what I manage. Just finished watching Death at a Funeral (absolutely hilarious) and The Bucket List (ok!). And this is how my current have-to-watch movie list looks like: Orange County Almost [...]

On Tuesday I went partying with cousins to Poison. It was a pre-wedding celebration for my cousin and her fiance. It was a great bonding time before sister leaves for her new world. I wish them both lots of luck and God bless them. Poison is one of the posh discotheques in Bandra supposedly run [...]

This movie has been raved and only raved. It’s indeed a powerful and bold subject for the audience to see, believe and leave an after-effect. But IMHO the production values were very poor. I think the film could do with a lot better editing. Besides Mary (the London based Muslim girl) I think the performances [...]
