As someone very familiar with filming, editing and production, I'm really impressed. The movie's meticulous.
Big fan of the cricket references. And I *think* I understood them too.
The kung fu was very cool, and I can't imagine how difficult it was to direct that scene. Kudos.
This might be a just a question of taste, but I thought both the fight sequence and the gaana sequence, though very well done in-and-of themselves, dragged a bit.
The aesthetic connection (colors, pacing etc) between the village scenes and the office scenes was drastic... felt like you were watching two different movies. That might be deliberate, but I'm not sure it worked.
I kinda got the whole re-inventing lollywood thing... but it felt a little like you were re-inventing for the sake of re-inventing. I'm not sure what, if anything, new emerged.
But I don't want to talk too much about plot, themes, character development etc because I'm guessing you consciously didn't make there much to talk about (as per Lollywood?). My only issue there is audience. I'm not sure what audience will "get" the movie. In some fruity pansy world it shouldn't matter, but if you're hoping to make some moolah off this (and being kin I suspect you are), it might be something to consider.
Raza: hahaha - no i'm not planning to make money off this. as musch as the bihari genes compel me to.
in terms of the re-invention, this is what the game was. previous works of mine were bursting with innuendo and subversive comments etc. and only 12 people ever got those. i had to branch out with this. so the main idea was to keep the story simple - boy girl, action jackson. for the audience that won't get it, the simplicity of the story should be enough for them, because that is pretty damn obvious. and to be honest, i have seen it posted on places where dEy t@lK LyK D!$ and people have enjoyed it, even if they don't get what i am trying to do. as i've written elsewhere, the point where we re-boot lollywood has to be the point where it died as a creative force. hence the revisit to gandasas and rich boys picking up poor girls.

Yaar, just show up on These Long Wars and criticise/abuse/flame stuff. Any attention is good, and it'll help me tighten the writing up a bit.
