International Indian Film Academy Awards winners

Saturday, Jun. 13, 2009

A list of winners at the 10^th International Indian Film Academy Awards announced late Saturday in Macau:

Best picture: "Jodhaa Akbar"

Wtf?! Jodhaa Akbar was the best pictures?

Its a poorly directed, crappy storyline propoganda movie idolizing and glorifying Muslim rule over India.

I'm surprised there's no mention of this week's big releases. There's Kaminey and Life Partner.

Can't say I'm interested in Life Partner, but boy I'm looking forward to seeing Kaminey. It's been getting rave reviews and really looks like a great film. I've heard the soundtrack and think it's awesome and really love the song Dhan Te Nah.

The volcano has erupted again. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has done it one more time. Albeit, quite differently.

If Rang De Basanti was all rage without an iota of remorse, Delhi-6 is all love with a dash of hate. If RDB was a public movement, D-6 is a personal monologue. And just like Rang De was what the country needed back in 2006, Delhi-6 needs to be the new pincode of India. Where the mirror pops up for all matters of religion, caste, money and power, where you look within before you point a finger at others.

More than a motion picture, Delhi-6 is a free flow of ideas, images and sounds. He may harp on the importance of the script, but Rakeysh Mehra, the erstwhile advertising whiz kid, is essentially a man of ideas, a bit of a Bollywood visionary. With the help of the magic troika of A.R. Rahman, Binod Pradhan and Samir Chanda (production design), Mehra creates a world which explodes in every frame. It's a full-bodied experience, a visceral trip which completely takes over your senses.

For the first one hour you may be even excused for thinking that you stepped into the wrong theatre to watch not a starry Bollywood movie but a beautifully done documentary on Delhi.

I-am-an-American Roshan (Abhishek Bachchan) brings his ailing grandmother (Waheeda Rehman) to her Delhi house and thus unfolds Chandni Chowk like you have never seen it before. The crowded bylanes, the lumbering cows, the leaning havelis, the reverberating mosques... it's perhaps more energetic, more colourful and more intricate than what Delhi-6 has been for a long time.

And just like in Rang De, Mehra puts the story on the backburner and just lets it rip. Pigeons fluttering in the air, kites colliding in the sky, chillies drying on the roof, jalebis frying in the pan... Mehra achieves perfection in the rhythm. Stills, staccato, flickering, slo mo... the images unfold at their own pace, as if they were born on camera. Sometimes the frames turn into paintings, with smudged shades and muted highlights. Delhi-6 is a sensory tour de force.
