Most Awaited Films of 2010

As we step in 2010, lets discuss few films which will enthrall us this year. Of course, one cannot ignore the film MNIK which boasts of the presence of the superstar of bollywood Shahrukh Khan and his best on-screen love interest Kajol and directorial touch of ever-talented Karan Johar plus debut of the biggest production house of Hollywood, 20th Century Fox in India. I am really eager to know the point of view presented in this movie by its maker after quite sedate and disappointing writing on same subject by Kabir and Rensil in 'New York' and 'Kurbaan'. What this film offers is a huge opportunity for Bollywood to take its mainstream cinema in nook and corner of the world as it will be the biggest release for a Bollywood venture.
Second film which really interests me is TEEN PATTI which stars Amitabh Bachchan and Ben Kingsley in lead and has an interesting plot. It will be a treat to watch Amitabh's towering presence against Ben's performance.
Raavan, directed by Mani Ratnam starring Abhishek and Aishwarya sounds intriguing take on such a common tale of Raavan.
Then coming to so-called new wave cinema LSD by Dibakar Bannerjee will excite us by its novel techniques of Cinematography and story telling of MMS clips and inter-relationship between love and sex.
We will discuss few more films in future but I think above mentioned films will make waves either on box office or in the mental space of audience.

Short film selected in Brazil film festival

During my childhood, I heard the stories which tell about victory of passion and originality. God gifted me with the experience of living with extra-ordinary human being like my Grandpa and maternal Grandpa who were creative geniuses. I may not have inherited any major quality from them but few grains of Creating Something New which gave birth to a genuine story and I went ahead to convert into a short film last year.
Now it is the blessings of forementioned personalities and my best friend,Hazrat Shah Manzoor Alam that I am sitting with the news that my short film THE MUSK has been selected in Brazil film festival for the final round following its success in India.

I thank all the well-wishers and my loved ones for their blessings and promise will give something to cheer on bigger scale very soon which means very soon.

Now I am 11 months old

It has been exactly 11 months since GOD/DESTINY guided me towards objective of my life and I found my GOAL BY CHANCE! Its been 11 months since I started living my life fully (I was living upto 99% since my birth but 1% was missing) and now no matter wat happens 2morrow, I have acheived salvation. Its been 11 months since when I dont have any restlessness about anything in this world,its been 11 months, since I know how it feels to be doing something which you are made for. I dont expect any success or name out of it,just desire to keep doing it till i say bye to this mortal world.
Its been 11 months since I STARTED WRITING & DIRECTING FILMS!
