Enjoyed reading your Ishqiya review and your thoughts on CM blog. You have been one of the few movie reviewers that I love reading, disagreed sometimes with your views but could see your points which you make with well reasoned arguments. Love the way you point out the finer and more subtle aspects of movies , and challenge me to look at aspects of films I might otherwise overlook. You are always successful at making me think more deeply about films that i had seen or that i might see and totally changed the way I thought about movies.You have a truly spectacular writing voice.Keep up the good work!

A very good example of bollywood's cinematic brilliance can be seen in a largely-unknown movie "Ek Ruka Hoa Faisla" which is obviously a remake of Henry Fonda's "Twelve Angry Men", but still the acting from Pankaj Kapoor and Annu Kapoor is extra ordinary. Not a main stream movie though, sadly!

Tehseen: Thanks for the shout; sadly I had not heard of that film, but will now try and track it down...

Anonymous: you are far too kind. One is only as good as one's readers say one is, so thanks!
