Aningaaq : Jonas Cuaron's 'Gravity' spin off explores the other side to Bullock's distress call

Image
Remember this scene from 'Gravity' where Sandra Bullock's character Ryan Stone, loses all hope of surviving and shuts down her drone. Just before that she finds peace in her conversation through her transmitter with a guy called Aningaaq. You hear his voice, and his speech, a dogs bark and a crying child. Have you wondered who they were? Well, you don't have to any more. Jonas Cuaron, son of the director Alfonso Cuaron himself, who co-wrote 'gravity' alongside his father, wrote a shortie based on this conversation. Financed by Warner Videos, who wanted the short to come out with their Blu-ray editions, found the short's potential to be much more than they intended. Now doing rounds in various festivals for short films, they might be just in luck if they could get a nomination for their short film 'Aningaaq' at the prestigious Oscars this year, in the live action short film category. If so, it could be very much possible that Warner's could b...

Padmaavat Review

Image
Padmaavat(i) - is a lavish visual spectacle from the master of Indian magnum opus, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It has all the ingredients you expect from a film like his, but compared to his previous movies there were some slight misses.  The movie starts off strong, obviously because of the visuals, but slowly meanders into sequence of three lines of 'Rajput praising' just for the sake of it, songs that don't fit but were there because those worked in his 'BajiRao', Deepika and Sh ahid becoming side caricatures in a 'heroic' saga and so on. But the film is entertaining, and Ranveer is Ranveer. Ranveer's screen time and performance eclipse the other title characters, and so when they come on screen all they have is some punch dialogs, which was irritating. Aditi is always a pleasant sight for sore eyes. As a director, I feel SLB failed because I thought he had a great story in hand, but instead of making it into a proper political emotional saga, he wen...

BSNL FUSSY BUSINESS

These are govt offices...dont expect people to work here! Really? is it some kind of a sin to expect services in a govt office??? I mean services on time. What is it that makes all the employees equally lethargic, and unhumane...who doesnt care for anything but their asses comfort. Ofcourse there is the see and learn philosophy. Any guy who enters into this world will see guys immersed in corruption, lethargy, and self business. He is happily settled into thinking that he has got everything easy, and work is a far away priority in here. you sit there and enjoy the salary, and all the other benefits too. In comparison to a geek breaking his head day night for multinationals, and still earning meagre amount as he is just a junior in the long heirarchy, these guys have a lifetime guarantee about everything..except ofcourse life. ya....the reason why i am going yapping abt all this is bcoz of my experience with the BSNL. One month back we made a call to one of the bsnl agents to get a new ...
