Finally… The Results Are Out | Editor’s Pen

Uttkrishtt! The word is an adjective for great works in the field of art and literature. Its a superlative that can be treated as a Hindi word for Opus Magnum. When I came across this word, I was simply overtaken by the charm of this word and was amazed how it suited our search for a title of our Survey of Greatest Hindi Films Ever Made in this country. For past few months, our lives literally revolved around this word. Now, after a long wait, we are here with the results. You may say; finally!!

The genesis of this survey took place when I was discussing about some great Hindi movies with an uncle of mine. That time I realized that unlike AFI or BFA Lists, in India we don't have any such list. I searched it online and found a few but was bitterly disappointed as all of them were some one's personal view. They lacked any demographical consensus. Then and there I decided to take this up.

I won't say that we were very successful but frankly speaking I am happy that we took the initiative. We didn't got heavy response but when we took the task on personal level talking with people we know personally and gathered their response, we were simply amazed by the knowledge of people around us and we felt dwarfed. I think I have to walk miles before I can think of calling myself a movie fan... forget about movie geek.

 

I hope you liked the initiative we took. Next year, Uttkrishtt will definitely return in a more improved and sophisticated way. Till then, keep reading.

Love...
