2011 Rewind – 11 songs we played in non-stop loop

The year is about to end and since the world is busy making the top ten lists, we thought why should we be left behind. We are scooping all the best lists from across the world here.  Or just scroll down and see under the tab “what we are reading”. We are starting our 2011 [...]

Vishal Bhardwaj, Ranjan Palit, 7 Khoon Maaf – what we are still reading

This is not going to end so soon. We started with this post, Varun wrote this one, and Subrat took the Mir route with this post. And in this post we are putting out some of the interesting links that we read recently…VB, Ranjan Palit, 7KM, Ismat Chugtai, prosthetics and more.   Time Out’s Nandini [...]

Dekh to dil ke jaan se uthta hai, Subrat spots the Poet Bhardwaj in 7 Khoon Maaf

Having divided audiences and critics, the discussion on 7 Khoon Maaf refuses to die down. And we are not complaining. First, we had a post expressing disappointment at a film that ‘packed so much, yet offered so little‘. Then we had Varun Grover passionately defending 7KM saying: ‘If 7 Khoon Maaf is boring, then Pratibha Patil [...]

If 7 Khoon Maaf is boring, then Pratibha Patil is exciting, argues Varun Grover

The header is from one of the tweets of Varun Grover. He has posted a long comment on this post also. Just when we thought that we all agree on one film finally, Varun felt otherwise – Aha, the joy and beauty of cinema! One film but so many things for so many souls.  He [...]

Vishal Bhardwaj’s 7 Khoon Maaf – Packed with so much, yet offers so little

The day I got to know that Vishal Bhardwaj was adapting another Ruskin Bond short story for the big screen, I went to all the possible book stores, searched desperately for the book with the story Sussana’s Seven Husbands, found it, bought it, read it and then heaved a sigh of relief. How else can [...]

VOTD : 7 Khoon Maaf’s Tere Liye (Video)

Yes, the video that we all have been waiting for, is finally out. And guess who has got the song ? Irrfan Khan. Again? First, Bekaran and now Tere Liye. Or may be the promos are misleading. Tip – Pratyush Painuly

“The sound of 7 Khoon Maaf – Let it grow on you” suggests Fatema Kagalwala

It is difficult to write a ‘review’ of the musical output of team VB-Gulzar. You generally listen with the heart and gut (and if you don’t then Lilaah!). The head is generally blissed-out by the perfection of lyricism and sounds so much so that even the imperfection melts in and doesn’t evoke question marks. So [...]

7 Khoon Maaf – New song promo

Though the music is still not out but a new song promo (Bekaraan) of 7 Khoon Maaf has been released. It opens with Irrfan Khan reciting two lines, which beautifully sums up the mood of the main character of the film – Ek baar to yoon hoga, thoda sa sukoon hoga…Na dil me kasak hogi, [...]

Is 7 Khoon Maaf’s Darrling inspired from Russian song Kalinka ?

Since the trailer of 7 Khoon Maaf came out yesterday, we have been playing it in loop. All for Darrling – the killer combo of  Rekha Bhardwaj and Usha Uthup’s voice. The song is composed by Vishal Bhardwaj and it seems there is more to the Darrling story. It might be little too early to [...]

First Look : Vishal Bhardwaj’s 7 Khoon Maaf (Poster & Trailer)

Woot! Darrrrling is the new Dhen Tedan! The trailer of Vishal Bhardwaj’s new film 7 Khoon Maaf is out. Aha, the popular joke doing the rounds is that 7KM trailer is the only good reason to watch Tees Maar Khan. But now its online. So, here it is… The film stars Naseeruddin Shah, Irrfan Khan, [...]
