Ramu Sarkar

Ramu you are divine. You tread your own charted path and that's the best thing about you.  You don't listen to rule makers. You listen only to yourself and your audience.  I gratefully accept anything that you give me!  You gave me Satya, Company and now Sarkar.  I wholeheartedly endorse you.  Go ahead with all your whims and fancies.  They will most certainly bail Bollywood out of the worthless shit it is in these times.  You want to remake Sholay? do it!  You have earned the stature.  I wish you all the best for 'Ram Gopal Varma ka Sholay' If self-declared moral police don't let you make it, I am with you in whatever you undertake next.  You have at least one definitive spectator in me.   I am watching Sarkar again today. I don't know how many times more!  Kudos to you!

Come on! Indipop :(

The Indian pop music scene is at an abysmal low right now.  Its like the phase Hindi movies went through during the late 80s.  On any given channel, apart from some good Hindi movie songs, you get to see only cheap remixes.  Cheap means literally cheap.  Cheap quality, cheap singing, cheap models and so obviously selling for a cheap price.  The music quality is survived only by some good movie songs like those by Rahman, SEL etc.  I remember around 5-6 years back when the Indipop scene was blazing hot with stars like KK, Shaan, groups like Euphoria, Silk Route, Colonial Cousins etc who had melodious and chirpy songs flowing.  Even quality remixes from Instant Karma (SEL), Bally Sagoo, Leslie Lewis were happening.  But those days are gone - for now at least - and a serious dearth of quality pop music is genuinely felt.  Hopefully like the Hindi movie scene was revived by good film makers and is now going really well, something good will happen for Indipop too.  Keeping fingers Xssed.
