Hi All,
Success of Kai Po Che attested the fact that Bollywood is ready to accept more coming of age stories. When Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Wake Up Sid excelled on Box Office, much credit was given to the star-cast, not the genre. Some of the best movies of this genre failed badly on Box Office – Swades and Lakshya and a comparatively shallow but quirky Dil Chahta Hai made it to the ranks.
Kai Po Che’s success speaks volumes about Abhishek Kapoor. He worked on perhaps the most hated book by Chetan Bhagat (has anybody read Revolution 2020?) and converted into a little gem. When Hirani did it, he had Aamir to pull the crowds. Abhishek managed without all that glam. Frankly, I will like to see 2 States on screen probably with Deepika in the lead role. It looks custom-made for her.
I have been busy with my no-budget indie – Shwet. Will talk about it in next edition along with interview of cast and opinion of some genuine movie freaks.
Thanks
Sujoy
