Quarterly Business Review

Ok guys - So its time to do the quarterly business review once again but this time it is not the boring quarterly business review that I do at my work but its the Quarterly Business Review of the movie biz. Essentially every quarter I would be talking about my favoraite movies, stars of the quarter.
Last quarter was particularly bad partly because of the multiplex strke and partly because of the creativity strike (read that as lack of creativity) by filmakers.
We had such gems last quarter as C2C and 8X10. No wonder the gem industry in Surat is going thru its worst phase this year in centuries!
But there was some hope in the form - Dev D, Delhi 6, (yes, yes i liked it!), Gulaal
So Lion King Awards of Excellence in Hindi cinema goes as follows
  • Best Film - Dev D
  • Best Actor (Male) - Abhay Deol
  • Best Actor (Female) - Mahi Gill
  • Best Music - Dev D, Delhi 6
  • Special awards - KK (Gulaal), Vijay Raaz (Barah Aana), Irfan (Billu)

Now coming to the equally prestigious - Lion King award for excellence in Pakau Cinema

  • Bakwaas movie - Chandni Chowk to Chaman nagar
  • Mahabakwaas movie - Jai Veeru (even without seeing it I will give this award to this movie)
  • Vahiyaat Movie - Victory (Balla utha....thapad laga...muh tod de uska jisne ye movie banaya...)
  • I will tear my hair off scene - Amitji and Jr. Amit ji 's climax scene in Delhi che - why dont they just delete this scene
  • Ehsaan kia performance - Ayesha Taak-na (8X10 - photu), Jackie Shroff as the Bhoot in Raaz 2 - why dont they just have Kangana Ranaut as the Bhoot!! She was looking like the Bhoot actually!
  • Special award - Basti Kuta Lakhpati - Are the Oscar guys really dumb? How can this movie get the best movie award and a movie like Tare Zameen Pe doesnt even get nominated
  • Most melodious song - Alka Yagnik said once in an interview that from now on she will only sing "meaningful" songs and she did that - "Ring a ring a ring a ring a ring...khatiye pe mai padi thi, aur gahri neend badi thi, ek khatmal tha sayana, tha mujh par uska nishana..." wow - its a gem!

I would look forward to your comments.
