This is a beautiful hindi movie depicting the love story between a movie director and a famous actress that is suffering from schitzophrenia. The songs are excellent!   posted Jan 21, 2008 at 3:18PM

Cover ArtFamily matters
by Rohinton Mistry
A wonderful touching tale of relationship betwen a daughter and father, entwined with step daughter and step son. Delicate balance of an Indian wife’s role, providing for her sick father and tending to her husband.. Based in Bombay in a Parsi family depicting vividly the Parsi community’s traditions and community bond. Plenty of colloquial Hindi/Gujrati verbage used to build a stronger scene. A must read.   posted Jun 14, 2007 at 1:52AM

Cover ArtGangster [DVD] : a love story
An accolade for Bollywood direction. Serious story unfolding a touching love story. The songs are beautiful with none of the usual dancing around. New faces put up a refreshingly good act.   posted Mar 6, 2007 at 11:49AM
