Name:
Location: bombay, India

Son of a soldier, I was born in Sultanganj in Bhagalpur district, Bihar. My childhood days were spent in an earthy rural life. I was deeply inspired by the rich folk culture of Buddha’s own land, Bihar. Right from the beginning, I Grew up with real images of Melas, Ramleelas, Bahuripiyas, incredible rituals, strong religious milieu and the vibrant Mithila Art. Natural calamities like flood and drought gifted unforgettable images. Changing seasons of rural life on the bank of river Ganga matured into a sense of poetry and language. Wonder years passed chasing steam trains that passed through the fields of my native village. Listening to radio programs made for defense personals was my only window to the outside world. With such a treasure of inspirational experiences a story teller evolved. I am a practicing film maker in Bombay today.

Marketing God and recycling bollywood



''THIS IS THE MILLENIUM OF MIRACLES…''

''SEA WATER HAS TURNED SWEET''

''IDOLS HAVE SIPPED ON MILK''

''STATUES HAVE SHED TEARS OF BLOOD''

''REDISCOVER YOUR FAITH''

''COME SEEK HER BLESSINGS''

Inspite of promoting the film on such loud and negative idea of faith, I just wonder after three weeks what must be the marketing team of ‘percept’ thinking about the business of the ‘rediscovering faith’ and ‘marketing god’…

Not a single remake has taken the vision of the old film forward and I think finally Remakes is not supported even by gods …
So its proved -Remakes are human- it has to do with 'ego' and 'personal achievement', it has nothing to do with the 'craft' and 'vision of cinema'...

Lets think of some creative titles/films list of films which can be 're-cycled' .

[Except ‘munna bhai’ and ‘krish’ whose remake rights is being already negotiated by the producers and a lead super star of Bollywood…]
