I had read Daphne Du Maurier’s Rebecca long back in my mid-teens. The book had captured my fancy to such an extent that I didn’t keep it down till I spent some two sleepless nights finishing it. Now, when you see Anamika, which is loosely based on it, you are more likely to sleep over it. Rebecca has been lifted again and again by many directors but the resemblance between it and Amanika is more so during the first half and the second half has been added Indian spices to make it look Desi. Ananth Mahadevan who has been quite a strong story teller by the day has no doubt failed to keep the audience glued to their seats with amazed emotions. (more…)

A movie’s luck can be decided in two manners, either it gets the box office in a whirl wind or gets the critics get sleepless nights over it, in either way, it can be termed a success but some movies get nothing, absolutely no praise or financial success. The reason being, some movies are not really good picks for our Bollywood directors. Bhram is one such movie that even with a good plot misses out on many things. It is only human to have illusions but director Pawan Kaul definitely should have no illusion about the luck of this movie. Does his name ring a bell, for those it doesn’t, he has also directed the long-forgotten movie ‘Shhhhh’. I swear, I was one of the people who are not aware of this movie but that is hardly an issue, the fate of hundreds of movies that come out every year is similar to Shhhh, people forget them, those who go to the theatre to watch it and even those who don’t. Pawan Kaul has known Shah Rukh Khan from the days of the later’s struggling period, where as one struggled off the period and the other one is still waiting for that shower of lady luck. Or is it just a Bhram? (more…)
