Let The Cameras Roll..

Its the first day of the Kara Film Festival - today they'll be showing Maqbool, Dhoop and The Terminal. While I've heard great things about Maqbool, which is supposed to be a modern day version of Macbeth, I can predict the scenes at the auditorium today. India and Bollywood are the catch words among most of the press and primarily in the world of entertainment. Well, at least one can be happy that they're showing a good movie like Maqbool rather than the trash that was Paap.

The Terminal is a fairly old release. The viewers of this movie are largely divided in two categories - one finds the movie poignant, Tom Hanks brilliant in his role as an immigrant and the plot lovely. The other describes it as a long movie in an airport, shoddy acting, Catherine Zeta Jones thrown in for attracting audiences and a bad movie, to wrap it up.

Oh and readers - City FM 89 - the official FM for Kara, is providing frequent radio updates on the Festival. So if you're far from the PC or a ticket outlet, tune in to 89.
