Gangs of Wasseypur, Gritty and intense


Anurag Kashyap had been in this industry for about a decade and half from now. He has made so many brilliant films for our industry but was faced with herculean hurdles  from both the critics and the censor board. Standing very strong in all those downturns, he always kept his words true, more than money it had always been intelligent cinema, he wished to make. 
Gangs of Wasseypur is one gritty film that even kept some of the critics tongue-tied  who incessantly kept despising his style of film making for all these years. Gangs of Wasseypur is truly an epic from the ace director. Pioneered by the versatile Manoj Bajpai, the film is composed of top niche performances by able actors. Even the performance of the kids in the films are so genuine. A 2.5 hour journey through Wasseypur and  Dhanbad leaves you no time to be distracted from the film. The story travels through a long time-line so smoothly that you seamlessly travel watching the film.  Despite of having a challenging script and screenplay, the film got mixed reviews pointing that the story is too much for the viewer to inculcate. It is true that the story is too tight and if you are distracted, in a nick of time you'll lose the tail, but the movie leaves the viewer demanding for more. Witty dialogues in the most unanticipated situations is another trait of the film.
Cinematography by Rajeev Ravi who has done all the previous works of Kashyap is exceptionally brilliant and equally charming are the soundtracks and background score of the film.
Music score by Sneha Khanwalkar of "Oye Lucky Lucky Oye" is the best you can see in such a film that it adheres completely to the story line setting ample mood to a particular scene. Every character in the movie is well defined and duly suits the actor whom the director has chosen for the role. The movie is so well written that it takes a two time watch to understand the subtle shades of the film thoroughly.
This is a film that you'll regret if missed and personally I would suggest a two time watch to absorb the nuances in detail.

Carcosa and the endless gyre !!!

You're in Carcosa !!! "Touch the darkness and the darkness touches you back" is the tagline of the highly acclaimed crime anthology of HBO- True Detective. It is not merely a woo-word, but it means every word literally. Though the series superficially seems to be a investigative thriller, for a first-time viewer on a closer look the series is a deep maze full of visual, verbal and symbolic references etched on to the lost expanse of Lousiana. More than an investigative story it is an insight into the lives of the detectives pursuing the case (Marty played by Woody Harrelson and Rustin Cohle played by Mathew McConaughey). Starting off with a weird homicide setting, the detectives never know they are on to something which is going to change their lives forever directly or indirectly. Nic Pizzolatto is the man of the show here. It is with clinical precision the series is executed as flawless as ever.  The case unravels and the detectives toil to connect to t...

The cafe was decorated with walls coloured wine red with such exquisiteness that it always attracted youngsters yearning for the ambience to which they can bring their lovers or acquaintances. The airs seeemed to be filled by the blended aroma of coffee and chocolate which tempted people to stay there for a long time than they intended to...
