Hi Friends,
Thanks for overwhelming response to our previous edition – Crime and Mafia Special. It turned out to be one of most successful special editions based on hits and time spent by readers. We, from the bottom of our heart, thank you for love and compassion.
We have seen more than three quarters pass by this year and when compared to 2012, it has been disappointing for most of us. Special 26, Kai Po Che, Jolly LLB, Go Goa Gone, Fukrey, Raanjhanaa, Bhaag Milkha Baag, Madras Café and The Lunch Box were among honorable mentions. Ship Of Theseus and BA Pass did well for indie without entering the mainstream zone. The last quarter has too less to offer. Shahid, Ram-Leela and Bullett Raja might add to this list.
Ten years ago, this year would have been considered to be a path-breaking year for content. The country has moved on from 90s and early 00s. Year 2012, made us watch some brilliant films – few all-time best. Year 2013 have been a poor successor. Probably the only silver line is success of The Lunch Box and Kai Po Che. Kai Po Che is one of few examples where filmmakers made a better film when compared to book. I don’t remember many such exceptions. Lunch Box’s success mean a lot to growth and acceptability of indie in this country.
Anyways, things ahead are always better.
Love
Sujoy Ghosh
