why movies ???

Till the time I can remember, Hindi movies have always fascinated me. They call it the world of celluloid, but is it really just that. I have to shamelessly admit that I dont understand paintings, neither do I have any interest in books or literature. Cinema to me is the biggest form of art.

During my school/college days, we used to discuss movies for hours, the acting, story, direction, dialogues, heroine's neck line and what not.

"Satya" changed my outlook towards movies. I've seen it so many times that I have lost count. I came out of the theatre wanting to become a director someday. I still nurture that dream.

I'll use this medium to express my thoughts on movies and I dont expect anyone to subscribe to my views, neither do I intend to influence an individual's decision to watch a certain movie.
