Omkara has one of the most haunting endings I've seen in a movie.
Kareena's Dolly is probably one of the characters that I'll sympathise with for a long time.
I just watched the movie. I know it's been there for ages. Better late than never I guess.
Vishal Bharadwaj really loves his Shakespearean tragedies.

Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram)
In movies, a spy’s role usually entails saving the world, which typically involves battling villains, performing daring stunts like cliff-jumping, wielding firearms, evading bullets, driving fast cars or piloting helicopters, and narrowly escaping death numerous times. However, sometimes, a spy’s duty is to spend hours seated at their…

Episode 136 - Lady Problems, or Problem Ladies? Pataakha, Good Luck Jerry, and Darlings
We do our best to not feel the wrath of these women scorned as we check out three recent(ish) black comedies with female leads. Also lots of good music recommendations in this one.
Notes:
Black Comedy
That Mel Brooks quote was basically right: “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.”
Pushing The Envelope: Being Cyrus and Delhi Belly, with Suchin Mehrotra
Not dependent on wordplay and puns, so might work better for people who don’t speak Hindi?
Pataakha
Everyone understands the Wario analogy
Radhika Madan
“Cows Around”, by Corn Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans
Maybe both Pataakha and Jojo’s were influenced by Sabai?
SPOILER ZONE: 24:21- 27:45
(INTERVAL (“Paracetamol” from Good Luck Jerry)
Good Luck Jerry
“Girl, You Have No Faith In Medicine” by the White Stripes
Kolamaavu Kokila
Maybe the South Indian film fans were right?
Knockoff Pankaj Tripathi?
Comic book imagery as lazy storytelling
Remake Heartbreakers with Jahnvi Kapoor and Tabu, you cowards
Darlings
The Year of Shefali Shah
“Goodbye Earl” by the Chicks
Next time: school movies

20 Years of Maqbool: Kamal Haasan was the original choice for Irrfan Khan’s role; Vishal Bhardwaj had to forgo his Rs. 30 lakhs fees so that he could shoot in Bhopal
Maqbool (2004) recently completed 20 years, on January 30. The film made director Vishal Bhardwaj a popular name and it also boosted the career of its lead actor Irrfan Khan. It was an adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth and also starred Tabu, Pankaj Kapur, Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah. In a recent interview with Mayank Shekhar of Mid-Day, Vishal Bhardwaj opened up about the struggles he faced in making the thriller as per his vision.
The maverick filmmaker began by revealing that Kamal Haasan was the original choice for the title role. In an interview with Mumbai Mirror in August 2014, Tabu stated that Kay Kay Menon was also considered briefly before Irrfan Khan was locked.
In the Mid-Day interview, Vishal Bhardwaj then said that he knocked on several doors to get the funds. With no luck, he applied for a scheme that was launched then by IDBI Bank to finance films. Producers Manmohan Shetty and Bobby Bedi were on its script consultation committee. As luck would have it, the film failed to be lucky even here.
Vishal Bhardwaj, at this point, exulted that Manmohan Shetty, over drinks, told him, “You have actors like Naseer, Om Puri, Pankaj Kapur… How would you ever have recovered a Rs 2.86 crores loan? I did you a favour, by rejecting it.”
Fortunately, Bobby Bedi was impressed with the script and he decided to finance the project. The initial plan was to shoot 25 days in Mumbai followed by 25 days in Bhopal. But once the Mumbai leg was over, Bobby confessed that there was no money for the Madhya Pradesh capital schedule. He suggested Vishal to shoot scenes of Abba ji’s (Pankaj Kapur) of haveli in a mansion at the Films’ Division office in South Mumbai. But Vishal had already finalized a haveli in Bhopal and he felt that it was the apt location. The ‘Films’ Division haveli’ wouldn’t have done justice.
Hence, Vishal Bhardwaj declined Bobby Bedi’s offer. Vishal narrated, “He (Bobby Bedi) said he won’t make the film then. I said, 'Let’s not make the movie'!”
This happened on a Friday evening. After this discussion, Vishal Bhardwaj said that he went home, “made himself a few stiff drinks” and switched off the phone over the weekend. On Monday, Bobby Bedi knocked on his door, asking where he had disappeared.
Vishal Bhardwaj said, “I told him, ‘What’s the point of meeting?’ My fees for the film, including music composition, direction and script was Rs 30 lakhs. Bobby suggested that the Bhopal shoot would cost Rs 60 lakhs. And that he was willing to put in Rs. 30 lakhs, and I could put in my Rs 30 lakhs.”
Vishal continued, “I just said—if you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have drunk so much on Friday! Even to this day, while I was the producer, I didn’t make a single penny from Maqbool. But how does it matter? Look at all that I earned!”
