Image
Mumbai witnessed a grand celebration as Shiva’s Salon completed its Silver Jubilee with the inauguration of its 25th family salon in Andheri East.

This Day That Year: Madhur Bhandarkar’s Corporate Clocks 19 Years
Image
Subhash K Jha looks back at Madhur Bhandarkar’s Corporate, which released in 2006, in a new installment of his series This Day That Year.

All of Madhur Bhandarkar’s best works—and this certainly qualifies as a fine progressive piece of cinema—have finally boiled down to the question of the conscience and the individual.

Kay Kay Menon playing the ambitious but conscientious corporate wheeler-dealer run by an unscrupulous tycoon (Rajat Kapoor) who would go to any length to make his way up the corporate ladder, is so adept at showing his troubled conscience you wonder which came first… the conscience or movies crystallizing its dilemma.

The corporate world so much a part of television serials, has never been exposed on the large screen since Shyam Benegal’s Kalyug. To his credit Bhandarkar, with considerable help from his editor, slices through these ambition-driven people with the urgent hiss of a car negotiating a craggy highway.

Revisiting Madhur Bhandarkar’s Aan: Men At Work As It Clocks 21 Years. Shatrughan Sinha Speaks
Image
Subhash K Jha takes a look back at Madhur Bhandarkar’s Aan: Men At Work and we hear from Shatrughan Sinha about the joy of making the film.

Actually, there are many men at work–both on and off screen—in Aan: Men At Work. While the cop-heroes sweat it out in their humid halos, the men behind the scenes also make their presence felt in rapidfire motions in this emotionless pictureshow . No sobbing Matajis(thank God!) but loads of slithering and sliding Mata Haris.

There’s of course director Madhur Bhandarkar, in his first foray into frenzied action. Big guns with bigger nozzles attached to them—of both the human and the mechanical mind—strut around with such exaggerated machismo , it becomes hard to tell the bad and good guys apart. Bhandarkar treats his heroes and villains (all festooned to the plot with formulistic splendour) like characters in an extended videogame for juvenile grownups.

Subhash K Jha Revisits Onir’s Delicately Drawn Drama My Brother… Nikhil
Image
Subhash K Jha revisits Onir’s delicately drawn Queer drama, My Brother… Nikhil, which starred Juhi Chawla, Sanjay Suri, and Purab Kohli, as it clocks 20 years since its release.

There was something happening to Hindi cinema in 2005… Something strange, stirring, exciting, and pathbreaking. After Madhur Bhandarkar’s Page 3 and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Black, you would think our cinema has given enough of the unconventional palate for the audience to chew on.

Not so! In My Brother… Nikhil, an intimate and yet far-reaching study of family ties, social castigation, and the resilience that makes the human spirit ride over daunting adversities—much like the swimmer-hero of debutant director Onir’s heartwarming film who rides the oceans … until oceanic events overtake his well-ordered life.

First things first. My Brother… Nikhil is a film about a very critical social cause, AIDS, to be precise….The imprecise parameters of the complex issue are...

Madhur Bhandarkar’s Drama Traffic Signal Celebrates 18 Years
Image
It has been 18 years since Madhur Bhandarkar8s drama Traffic Signal was released. Subhash K Jha revisits the film and shares some very intriguing answers the director gave when the film hit the big screen.

Life for Madhur Bhandarkar’s characters sucks. They’re often a victim of sexual and political abuse. And you’re inclined to turn away from their anguish. What redeems the people in Traffic Signal are their frailties and their unquestionable humanism. The director captures them in on a cascading and mutating canvas. We see lives frozen in a state of emotional and economical imbroglio.

The characters are often seen doing the metaphysical equivalent of picking their nose in public. There’s no shame in letting it all hang out as long as the characters are prone to probe their wounds in bouts of agonized satire.

If Page 3 probed the beau-monde with incredible emotional sharpness, Traffic...

It’s been 20 years if you can believe it, since Madhur Bhandarkar’s masterpiece, Page 3, was released. We take a look back at the film, which starred Konkona Sen Sharma, Atul Kulkarni, and Boman Irani.

Welcome to the beau monde, where everything is for sale, especially the conscience…where the rich and famous blow kisses in the air. As the humid room records their passionate pretenses, the emptiness of their ecstasy is exposed in recriminating rings of ricocheting realism.

The slimy Nri social climber is informed that a well-known socialite has committed suicide,

“Get me my fashion designer!”, he screams hysterically.

The funeral sequence that follows with all the deceased woman’s contacts and acquaintances shedding sobs into TV cameras is savagely funny and cruel, bitter and tragic.

Often, in the course of this mordant view of decadent elitism, you don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Or just...

Salman Khan and Aamir Khan’s comedy-drama Andaz Apna Apna (1994), directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, was unfortunately a box-office setback. The film didn’t have a good theatrical run and was shunned by the audience.

However, it turned out to be a massive success when it came out on cassettes and television. Over the years, the film has attained a cult status. While some say that the movie was ahead of its time, some call it the right movie at the wrong time.

According to Rajkumar Santoshi, Andaz Apna Apna failed not because of the story or the star cast but because the makers could not advertise it properly. In a recent interview with Doordarshan, Santoshi said that the publicity for the movie wasn’t done well, and people didn’t know it was a comedy.

Against the wishes of her parents, the native of Chandigarh ventures into the unknown, into the city of Mumbai, to chase her dreams of becoming a famous supermodel. She meets with a flamboyant agent, Rohit (Ashwin Mushran), who introduces her to the world of glitz, glamour, and (bad) make-up.
