Indian film industry- Produces 900 films a year in 20 different languages and employs 30 lakh people. The world’s largest producer of cinema. It all started as a dream of one man- Dhundiraj Govind Phalke also known as Dadasaheb Phalke- Father of Indian cinema, Director of the first Indian silent film- Raja Harishchandra.

Harishchandrachi Factory is 2010 Marathi film part fiction and part true story of Dadasaheb Phalke’s efforts in making the first ever Indian film. It was India’s official entry for 2009 oscars. First lets see the cast and crew of the film.

The movie tell the story of Mr. phalke( nandu yadav) and his struggle to make the first motion picture. Phalke is labelled a maverick by his neighbours as he can’t sustain in a job and keeps changing most often. He has a very supporting wife saraswati phalke ( Vibhavari Deshpande). After having differences with his partner in printing press Phalke leaves it and starts roaming in the street with performing some small magic tricks with his elder son- Madhav Phalke. By chance these two come across a picture hall playing films playing from England. Impressed by this Phalke decides to make film. How he begins his adventure and how he faces all the challenges of having a crew, shooting, releasing and becomes a successful film maker makes an interesting watch.

The performance by the actors is top notch especially by Nandu yadav amd Vibhavari deshpande. Nandu yadav expressions are worth a mention, the way he show cases the enthusiasm when he sees a film for the first time, the way he shows his happiness when learns about motion camera are all very natural and these make this film a worthy watch . The kids performance is also very good. The camera work is world class and back ground music is very much in sync with the film. Editing is good and run time of the movie is just 96 minutes.

           

Screenplay by Paresh Mokashi is excellent, he should be congratulated for selecting such a novel script and treating it such a wonderful way. There was never a boring point in the film, and he created ample comedy to keep the audience entertained. Utv motion pictures should also be congratulated for selecting this subject and producing it.

This by far the best movie In this year till date, Don’t miss it.

 

Reincarnation

Reincarnation is believed to occur when the soul or spirit, after the death of the body, comes back to life in a new born body. This phenomenon is also known as transmigration of the soul or metempsychosis.

Now it is time for reincarnation of my blog. In the past I created this blog to be very active with my thoughts and ideas but sadly was not able to do that, hence now I am coming back in a very renovated way.

I will be blogging about films, bikes, music, food and cricket, and a lot of non-sense. Well This time for sure the frequency in my blogging will be very consistent.

I am starting this blog by quoting here a great poem by Rudyard Kipling titled IF

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
