Moving!

Hic! Wish you all a very happy happy new year... Hic!

Also, just to let you all know that this will be the last post on this blog. I've moved to Wordpress and have got myself a domain name finally.

So do make a note in change of web address. It's easy to remember: sudhishkamath dot com

This also means you no longer need to keep track of my 3 or 4 blogs from different addresses. Have brought all posts under one roof. Tagging reviews, interviews, columns and general updates while take a while though but you should be able to find all posts in the new blog.

See you there.

Hindi Cinema: My top five of 2007

I started off trying to make a top five list with over 15 movies that seemed to deserve a slot.

So I extended it to make it my top 15, only to find more movies that seemed to deserve a place in the top 15.

So all you Hindi movie buffs, head here for the results.

Taare Zameen Par!

Just posted my review. Taare Zameen Par is the movie of the year.

Fell in love with the movie within the first 10 minutes. Please make sure every parent you know watches this movie. Refreshingly full of life.

Also, in case you haven't yet voted for Sivaji as CNN-IBN's Movie of the Year, please do so now by clicking here.

Yes, I know Chak De is a great film. And I might have even voted for Taare Zameen Par if it was nominated but Sivaji is closer home. And Superstar deserves to stay on the top of any list. So spread the word and Vote for Superstar.

Webcast: A chat with Madhavan

You need 35 minutes to listen to the whole webcast. Do take time out to listen to R.Madhavan (yeah, Maddy) speaking his heart out in his most candid interview ever.

I started out quite formally because we were shooting it for a TV interview but as we got into it, I think we both forgot the camera was rolling. I recorded the audio from my phone and compressed the file size to one-tenths of the original for the podcast.

Do spread the word about the movie. Don't miss it because it's not everyday we get a film made like this in Tamil.

Do listen to the webcast for my review of the film. I have shared my views on the film with him during the chat at his place. We recorded this two weeks ago. And for the record, the last 15 minutes of the chat was completely off camera.

Raja Sen's remake of Saawariya!

Actually, it's a no-budget retake of 'White Nights'.

My favourite Rediff critic comes up with a much-entertaining 2-minute version. Enjoy.

And please leave your comments on the filmmaker's blog. Will save him the effort of coming here every time to check response.

I've always wanted to make a 2-minute take on Jism. Never found volunteers for Bipasha though! :D

Na Ja! Bach Le!

Just posted a quick take on the much-awaited Madhuri Dixit comeback film.

In case you missed dropping in last week, there's a review of Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal there too.

Watch out for the podcast: an interview with Madhavan on Evano Oruvan. Coming up on Sunday. Watch this space.

The film releases on December 7.

Live from ShankarEhsaanLoy concert

Not sure if mobile blogging works with video. Test post.

Evano Oruvan Premiere

Just watched Madhavans Evano Oruvan at a fund raiser premiere. Blew my mind. After Anbe Sivam, finally a movie that is World class. Hits you right at the gut. Middle class angst has never looked more real before. Absolutely gripping. Riveting. Disturbingly good. The movie to recommend. Its a remake me the much acclaimed Dombivli Fast. Sending this from my phone from the theatre. More later.

Sania in town

Posting this from my mobile right from the scene of action at Taj Coromandel. The tennis sensation who turns 21 tomorrow was mobbed by photographers. Watch out for the Sania Interview tomorrow on Metro Plus.
