ravishingravi Posted June 23, 2011 Posted June 23, 2011 No kidding IE3IF94xfFM Who is India’s most dangerous filmmaker? By Rummana Ahmed | Movie Talkies Wed, Apr 13, 2011 11:02 AM IST Bengali film A little independent Bengali film is creating a lot of buzz - five sold-out screenings at the 61st Berlinale in February this year, a successful screening at the Slamdance festival in Utah before that and the director has been invited to more than 30 international film festivals. The subject is compelling- a story of petty crime, angry rap music and explicit sex and a film that has prolonged sex scenes and full-frontal nudity. Even the name of the director is intriguing, 'Q' - the director has adopted this letter as his identity. Q explains, " the film was born from a sense of despair. It arrived in the form of words, out of anger, and a sense of desperation and hopelessness. That is exactly how one feels if the desire is to tell stories, unhinged and unashamed, for that's how stories should be told." The complete article further states, "So he felt that the story of "*****," inspired and informed by real events and real characters, lent itself to a visual and aural experience that would resonate with our reality." In a country where censorship and moral-policing are the norms, are we prepared for a film like this? Is it time to liberate artists from the contraptions of "Indian sensibilities" and our orthodox mindsets?
ravishingravi Posted March 25, 2012 Author Posted March 25, 2012 pTQh8esXGzU The movie really is quite explicit by any standards. Songs are good though.
Magneto Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 'GuNdo' is a brave attempt, but calling Q the 'Gaspar Noe' of India is really :facepalm:
Texy Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 That's Rii the actress in G.a.n.d.o.o with her real life bf/ director Q or Qaushiq Mukherjee Rii has claimed she's bisexual and has been in love with her female cousin as well. Q has been married once but never bothered to divorce These are some of the most pretentious b@stards from Bengal but goddamn Q can stitch a story well for his audience. Recently saw G.a.n.d.o.o and was blown away. Q is ahead of his time. On my list his other movies: Bishh (poison in bangla) & Love in India

Never knew it existed till I saw Gand=**
Texy Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Bengal rap circuit is still pretty underground. Bangla rock has become more mainstream with hundreds of new bands popping up every other year. There are independent bangla rap artists as far as I know but vastly underground. A lot of these rap numbers inspire from the rise of 'jibon-mukhi' or 'about life' songs from the 90s.
veer Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 WTF is this BS?? Why so many people are eager to change every damn thing about our country.. India is changing at rediculously fast pace...
EnterTheVoid Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Saw it today, awesome movie. Better than the usual he says/she says bollywood fluff.
Precambrian Posted August 11, 2012 Posted August 11, 2012 Utter gutter... Just sick porn in the name of art...
ravishingravi Posted August 11, 2012 Author Posted August 11, 2012 Utter gutter... Just sick porn in the name of art... It is certainly not art.
EnterTheVoid Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Movies of this type are an acquired taste, you can't be expected to like this if you grew up on a diet of romantic comedies and Bollywood style sing and dance movies. You either get it or you don't. Simple.
EnterTheVoid Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 This is worth a watch as well, done by the same guy of course: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cMdmsWlpKE]LOVE IN INDIA - Trailer - YouTube[/ame]
ravishingravi Posted August 12, 2012 Author Posted August 12, 2012 Interesting but too yuppie for my liking. Btw the girl from 1:90 to 2 :00 absolutely nails it.
punjabi_khota Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 I might have become too americanized. That accent irritates me. :(( Sad day in my life.
