Way to go, Rangan saar! Baradwaj has been recognized for, “intelligent and reader-friendly reviews of popular cinema with a depth of understanding of the form, a discernible passion for medium bulwarked consistently by a knowledge of trends and touchstones of global cinema“. Phew! That sounds uncannily like Rangan’s own words

Many visitors have been asking my choice for the most-awaited soundtrack. If you go by conventional choices, Vishal Shekhar’s Om shanti om would be right up there. Ditto for Aggar - to see if Mithoon pulls it off again - after a repetitive single in Abhijeet Sawant’s Junoon! The two promos - Ke bin tere and Nachle reek so much of The Train! But, the one film who’s music I’m really looking forward to is M.M.Kreem’s Dhoka, directed by Pooja Bhatt. The promo track only increases my curiosity, besides the fact that the soundtrack also features Pakistani musician Shiraz Uppal!

Note: Just found out two things about Shiraz - that his track for Dhoka is titled ‘Tanhai‘ ans that it has lyrics by Saeed Qadri. And, that Shiraz was one of the vocalists for none other than A R Rahman, for the Hindi version of ‘Shakalaka Baby’ in Nayak!

Keywords: Vishal Shekhar, Farah Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, MM Kreem

The Indian government blocking a popular domain like blogspot in the name of blocking access to a handful of blogs hosted there is, to say the least, ridiculous. I’m amazed at the kind of people inhabiting departments like CERT-IN. So, what is stopping anybody from hosting their anti-social sites elsewhere? And, will these folks block internet in general? Why leave it there? Ban every other communication medium and give us back our 2 channel Doordarshan! I mean it, seriously. Life with Yeh jo hai zindagi, Malgudi Days and the occasional 15 minute Spiderman on Saturdays was far more enjoyable! Bah!
