In fact, the very thought of it makes me wanna run away. </p><p>For a screenwriter that's simply bad news. Because no matter what, if you want to get your stories out of your computer and hit the big screens, then you need to get comfortable with selling your story to potential producers and studios. And the first step in that journey is pitching. </p><p>My fear of pitching has prodded me to find different ways of overcoming the hurdle. So, for a few years I tried to work with agents in the hope that they would read my book and be able to handle the job of pitching. But soon I realized that agents were not into reading. So, I was just another name in their long list of clients. How that helps them grow their business is a different story, and one that I will perhaps share at a later point when I get around to solving that mystery!</p><p>But the turning point (life does imitate screenplays!) came when I was called to pitch my book to a prominent OTT channel. This was an opportunity that I couldn't miss out on. And besides, the production company that had initiated this move assured me that they would handle the pitch and I just needed to be present since I was the author of the book. So, lulled into believing that I was going to only respond to any queries that the OTT executive would have, I went for the meeting. </p><p>I was excited and the thrill of being part of a pitch made me nervous but I wasn't yet run-for-your-life scared. Until... I was asked to pitch the story. </p><p>Holy Mother of God! I looked around the room and all I got were encouraging smiles from the team that had assured me that they would handle the pitch. </p><p>I had just been pushed off the top of a cliff without a parachute. And so, I did my best. Unprepared as I was. As I soldiered on, trying to narrate my story, I realized I was headed for a crash. Luckily, one of the team persons stepped in and prevented it from becoming a total splat-on-the-face kind of disaster. <br /><br />The pitch session was over - the channel executive asked for materials to read - and I learnt my biggest lessons. One, fear would kill my career. Two, I needed to practise pitching like my life depended on it. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisTIiL5-LI9T-gPO5477pcJhRKCGT5plKLKSbLAtjmYSiPgnlyQir-IJhVR-7_GudwgerJ18y5EChFkto0muEMIv3L4XtEN7oGbWcq2IcxNOvli2qdtDfizlDOgff5LWXr7UrZlIv-dlChnpQH9tKOMeQUlVjfgT1lDL3_5DdNQaNa_2NlEQJQb1_6ATc/s4080/Taglab%20pitchfest%20-%20feb%202024.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3072" data-original-width="4080" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisTIiL5-LI9T-gPO5477pcJhRKCGT5plKLKSbLAtjmYSiPgnlyQir-IJhVR-7_GudwgerJ18y5EChFkto0muEMIv3L4XtEN7oGbWcq2IcxNOvli2qdtDfizlDOgff5LWXr7UrZlIv-dlChnpQH9tKOMeQUlVjfgT1lDL3_5DdNQaNa_2NlEQJQb1_6ATc/s320/Taglab%20pitchfest%20-%20feb%202024.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Taglab script market<br /></td></tr></tbody></table></p><p>The goal for 2024 is to pitch whenever I have the opportunity and thanks to a pitchfest organized by TAGLAB I attended my very first pitchfest in Mumbai in February where I had two online and two face to face meeting sessions.

That cliche is perhaps most apt when it comes to the bad men of Bollywood. In fact, some of the most memorable lines of dialogue have been mouthed not by the heroes but by the villains of Hindi cinema. So it is only fitting that these shining stars of the dark world (after all, antagonists are the protagonists of their own stories!) deserve to be spotlighted. <b><a href="http://www.balajivittal.com" target="_blank">Balaji Vittal</a></b>, the author of <i><b>Pure Evil: the Bad Men of Bollywood</b></i> undertakes this onerous task of highlighting the world of these evil characters and how they have come to occupy a special place in the hearts and minds of movie goers. <p></p><p>I spoke to Mr. Balaji Vittal, a National Award winning and MAMI Award winning author of Bollywood books, a columnist for <i>News18, Outlook India, The New Indian Express</i>, a Bollywood commentator and a public speaker, about his journey of venturing into the world of <b><i>Pure Evil</i>. </b> </p><p>Here are some excerpts:<span class="im"></span></p><div><span style="font-family: verdana,sans-serif;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><i><br />Your book "Pure Evil: the Bad Men of Bollywood" is a deep dive into the
various types of villains that have tormented the heroes and heroines on
the Indian silver screen. How long did it take you to conduct the
research and write the book? Were there moments when you thought it was
too wild and huge a project? What kept you going and why?</i></b></span></div><p></p><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>BV:</b> It took a little over eight years to complete the manuscript and then
a year more to re-work on the edits. What took as long as it did was -
a) To arrive at a framework. A biography has reasonably well-defined
start and end points and a logical chapterisation. But<b><i> Pure Evil</i></b> was
a subject that had not been explored in its entirety by anyone. So, I
struggled for two years with what the book should say. My earliest
drafts read like Wikipedia synopses of the films sandwiched by interview
transcripts which didn't look good. And then I learnt that the big
black box of villainy needed to be unpacked and categorized logically. These various categories needed to be classified as Villains of the
individual, Villains of the society or Villains of the nation. And then I
needed to map the various categories to the timelines. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbXgrE5dVUXvIYfy07v8fF3QDyW7UJUg-0t7j52nr5B_DNTOANLgGAPz53UMRlM0iLZA7gTq3ILTzPU1oCDIFeehoIJ0zQjG2U5FJI1_qkJRJcmfM4HapLI653tOPhn72M-OvmQ7WECR_oP1rJNdv2ETbSghU8ohab4DVTBRVGXT3oiDje_fwfak965Ag/s4000/IMG_20230109_141405.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbXgrE5dVUXvIYfy07v8fF3QDyW7UJUg-0t7j52nr5B_DNTOANLgGAPz53UMRlM0iLZA7gTq3ILTzPU1oCDIFeehoIJ0zQjG2U5FJI1_qkJRJcmfM4HapLI653tOPhn72M-OvmQ7WECR_oP1rJNdv2ETbSghU8ohab4DVTBRVGXT3oiDje_fwfak965Ag/s320/IMG_20230109_141405.jpg" width="240" /></a></div></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">b) How much is
(not) too much - I needed to balance between explaining the villainy of
the villains without rambling and yet without being sketchy. It was a
big challenge. When I signed up for the project I knew it was going to
be wild and huge. And it lived up to my hunch every time I sat down to
write. Watching ~300 films (parts of some of those multiple times),
reading 20+ books, archival stuff on the net, old magazines, travelling
to Mumbai to interview 50+ actors, film makers, journalists. <i><b> </b></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b> </b></i></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><b>Pure Evil</b></i>
has been my biggest and the most complex project ever - and arguably one
of the most complex ever in Bollywood writing, I daresay. This
challenge was precisely what kept me going. Taking on a project of such
complexity itself was a bold statement. And not dropping it midway
despite all the hurdles needed gallons of motivation. Motivation of
pursuing a pioneering effort - yes, I think that is what it was.<br /><br /></span></div><span class="im" style="font-family: inherit;"><div><b><i>Love how the book adds relevant anecdotes about the making of the films. Which among these is your favourite anecdote?</i></b></div></span><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>BV: </b>The backstory about how the idea of a rabbit hitting Tabu's car
windscreen in the climax of <i>Andha Dhun</i> occurred to Director Sriram
Raghavan. Please read the book to know more about it!<br /><br /></span></div><span class="im" style="font-family: inherit;"><div><b><i>The villains of Indian cinema have changed their masks and forms of
"devilry" with the times. Would you agree that despite their bad
streaks, our films tend to make their crimes a little less edgy than say
what Western movies do? As a result, many a times they come across as
caricaturish. Your thoughts, please.</i></b></div><div><b><i> </i></b></div></span><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>BV:</b> In many films of yore a villain had all the tell-tale body
language, or his outlandish costumes. Or he would be cruel to the
impoverished ones. He had to be wealthy. He would not be a family man
and would be cavorting with multiple women. But in the last 2-3 decades
script writers have weaved in more subtlety in the way villain
characters are crafted. They are not loud or larger than life. Their
cold viciousness does the trick. And also, in earlier films the scripts
were biased in favor of the hero. The hero had to win and the villain
had to lose. But these days the scripts give equal opportunities for
both and this makes for more realistic viewing. <br /><br /></span></div><span class="im" style="font-family: inherit;"><div><i><b>In the light of new movies like </b></i><b>Kabir</b><i><b> and </b></i><b>Animal</b><i><b>, where the Anti-Hero
has gone over completely to the dark side, do you feel that the villains
of this era are losing their relevance as the Protagonist and
Antagonist are sharing the same space? How do you see the evolution of
the bad guy in the coming years?</b></i></div></span><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>BV:</b> <i>Kabir</i> and Ranvijay in <i>Animal</i> are not anti-heroes. An anti-hero is one
whose end goal is laudable but who adopts a wrong path to get to it.
Kabir was a modern day Devdas i.e. a tragic hero and <i>not</i> an
anti-hero. Yes, he had darker shades, but perhaps it was an upgraded
version of Dev D (0209) starring Abhay Deol. Ranvijay in <i>Animal</i> was a
blend of the mafia don Michael Corleone and Amitabh Bachchan's character
of the neglected rich boy in <i>Sharaabi</i> (1984). But yes, today there are
shades of grey in every character and those sharp lines that divided the
villain from the hero are blurring. This makes for more realistic
viewing because all of us have shades of grey. We change colors
depending on the situation. So, personally I connect more with these
grey characters rather than pure white or pure black. <br /><br /></span></div><span class="im" style="font-family: inherit;"><div><b><i>Who in your opinion is the Greatest Bad Man of all time in Indian cinema and why?</i></b></div><div> </div></span><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>BV: </b>Gabbar Singh. There was nothing good about him. He had fun with death
and even more fun mocking people and making them laugh before killing
them. Brilliantly crafted by Salim-Javed and executed so well by Amjad
Khan.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><i><b>The book is a great read and if you're a lover of Bollywood films, this is definitely for you!

At a time when the Angry Young Man was beginning to dominate celluloid screens, Amol Palekar was as un-hero-like as you could get. He was the Common Man who traveled in buses, did not have hero-like mannerisms and did not breathe fire and brimstone at his opponents. Basu Chatterji's Middle of the Road Cinema burst on to the scene and surprised the movie-going audience with its everyday situations and storylines that had an undercurrent of humour. Chatterji catered to an audience that he liked to call the "Balcony Class". <p></p><p></p><p>Anirudha Bhattacharjee, author of <b><i>Basu Chatterji and Middle-of-the-Road Cinema</i></b> writes an entertaining and heartwarming account of the life and work of Basu Chatterji, one of the most under-rated directors of Indian cinema. Recall of Chatterji's brand of feel-good, slice-of-life movies is perhaps highest for his <i>Rajnigandha, Chotisi Baat, Baaton Baaton Mein, Khatta Meetha, Piya Ka Ghar</i> and <i>Priyatama</i>. Apart from these <i>Sara Akash, Swami, Ratnadeep</i> and the iconic <i>Rajani</i> for television were Chatterji's calling cards. But for a prolific filmmaker like Chatterji, who was known for his low-budget and tightly scheduled filmmaking, these are just the tip of the iceberg in a body of work that includes more than 40 films and about half a dozen TV series. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ZPEso3ftyakyHg3Hum3K6F19gbEj1raY2Ck9F7tm2frmPwDfGr4QvaMiMFcBrn5vUUA3CROpaRYSidKRfFckwWiOnbZmZJeRjxL-nhTxW8mdDMo70egxyNYwW_WUrelAGALylEHLLuVJorKCrZIYXebMl-AvYABqUoImdbgKWoiD50yDf1YRn6UJ/s1080/2.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ZPEso3ftyakyHg3Hum3K6F19gbEj1raY2Ck9F7tm2frmPwDfGr4QvaMiMFcBrn5vUUA3CROpaRYSidKRfFckwWiOnbZmZJeRjxL-nhTxW8mdDMo70egxyNYwW_WUrelAGALylEHLLuVJorKCrZIYXebMl-AvYABqUoImdbgKWoiD50yDf1YRn6UJ/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Bhattacharjee has done meticulous research, which includes interviews with 100+ cast and crew members, colleagues and peers, friends and family of the filmmaker apart from several interviews with the director (before he passed away), to write what is clearly a definitive biography of Chatterji. Exploring the different facets of the director's craft - including his penchant for making low budget films, his preference for always having a ready script, and his use of background music to take the story forward - Bhattacharjee's book is a delightful read. It will appeal to fans of Chatterji's films as well as those who may not be well versed in the filmmaker's work. <p></p><p>Replete with anecdotes, the book also gives the reader an overview of the dynamics of the film industry between the 1970s through the 1990s. The book provides insights into Chatterji's storytelling and his way of exploring 'serious' issues with a light touch. The author writes, "Serious film buffs looking for life changing equations in a film woud have an issue with <i>Baton Baton Mein,</i> as, like most Basu's films, it had no message to be driven home. As a storyteller, Basu also remained on the side of conservatism, advocating the importance of marriage not only as a necessary landmark in life but also as a certificate of long term commitment. But that was Basu. A believer in simple solutions to complex problems, he hardly every broke basic paradigms which set social revolutionaries discussing poverty, socialism and mass struggle in spas and five star coffee shops."</p><p>And perhaps because of this, some of his serious films such as <i>Ek Ruka Hua Faisla</i> and <i>Apne Paraye </i> were sidelined as they didn't quite fit into the typical Chatterji film mould. Bhattacharjee's approach to looking at Basu's body of work is comprehensive and will appeal to the serious film buff and the lay reader. It will definitely inspire readers to check out many of Chatterji's films. <br /></p><p><b>Interview with Author Anirudha Bhattacharjee</b></p><p><b> </b></p><p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:DocumentProperties><o:Revision>1</o:Revision><o:Pages>1</o:Pages><o:Lines>1</o:Lines><o:Paragraphs>1</o:Paragraphs></o:DocumentProperties></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:OfficeDocumentSettings></o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><w:WordDocument><w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel><w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery><w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery>2</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery><w:DocumentKind>DocumentNotSpecified</w:DocumentKind><w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing>7.8 磅</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing><w:PunctuationKerning></w:PunctuationKerning><w:View>Normal</w:View><w:Compatibility><w:AdjustLineHeightInTable/><w:DontGrowAutofit/><w:BalanceSingleByteDoubleByteWidth/><w:DoNotExpandShiftReturn/></w:Compatibility><w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom></w:WordDocument></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true" DefSemiHidden="true" DefQFormat="false" DefPriority="99" LatentStyleCount="260" >

This is your first book about a director. Could you tell us about what inspired you to write this book and why you chose Basu Chatterji as the subject of your book.</b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span><p></p><p align="justify" class="p" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Anirudha</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">: </span></b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">The idea cropped up when I met Basu Chatterji in 2014 during an exhibition in Calcutta. I always liked his films; most of his 1970s cinema was part of my growing up. I also found that there was very little literature on him. On the contrary, there was a lot on Hrishikesh Mukherjee. Everybody is writing on Gulzar. The same stories are told and retold like WhatsApp forwards. People consider themselves intellectuals by analyzing Gulzar, however stupid and irrelevant the analysis might be 😀. Basu-da, poor guy, there was hardly any analysis about his cinema. Forget analysis; even stories were hard to find.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p align="justify" class="p" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">So, I thought, why not write a book? My R D Burman book was already there. It had done reasonably well, both critically and commercially, which gave me confidence in my ability to write a non-fiction book. Music is my strength, but I have remained a cinephile. I see at least 5-6 films (can be the same film over and over again) every week. And I identified very strongly with Basu-da's 1970s cinema.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><b> </b><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkcD502zeNKEfGua7nMqFcAbpHuY1Reyk0aYgECnZ0h5tHt12U-H6jAKJm8MmyWE17Z_f-2Z4CrMHrHOp9fZHTe7DV8s_qA8zhudgvtb7QhSqvHkphXyZlAcoVdr7rDVfHR-wE-LRImp5qV6A26_3KJ65xMawdrwBaiW5WyoAFMH0KC3YtvILX1Lrv/s500/Basu.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:DocumentProperties><o:Revision>1</o:Revision><o:Pages>1</o:Pages><o:Lines>1</o:Lines><o:Paragraphs>1</o:Paragraphs></o:DocumentProperties></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:OfficeDocumentSettings></o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><w:WordDocument><w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel><w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery><w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery>2</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery><w:DocumentKind>DocumentNotSpecified</w:DocumentKind><w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing>7.8 磅</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing><w:PunctuationKerning></w:PunctuationKerning><w:View>Normal</w:View><w:Compatibility><w:AdjustLineHeightInTable/><w:DontGrowAutofit/><w:BalanceSingleByteDoubleByteWidth/><w:DoNotExpandShiftReturn/></w:Compatibility><w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom></w:WordDocument></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true" DefSemiHidden="true" DefQFormat="false" DefPriority="99" LatentStyleCount="260" >

You will not find people dying of cancer (in contrast to Mukherjee’s <i>Anand</i> or <i>Mili</i>). Or people sacrificing their lives (Again, in contrast to Mukherjee’s <i>Satyakam</i> or <i>Musafir</i>). His films were lighter, entertaining, and, at the same time, would end on a very happy note. No three-hanky affair. Even his serious films – <i>Sara Akash, Swami, Apne Paraye, Kamla Ki Maut</i>, among others - had a positive chime. Gulzar’s films were different. They were serious stuff, like <i>Mausam</i> or <i>Aandhi</i>. Or, for that matter, <i>Mere Apne, Achanak</i>, or <i>Namkeen</i>. Even Parichay had elements of sadness. So, while the nature of the films made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Basu Chatterji, and Gulzar were similar, the texture and the treatment were different.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:DocumentProperties><o:Revision>1</o:Revision><o:Pages>1</o:Pages><o:Lines>1</o:Lines><o:Paragraphs>1</o:Paragraphs></o:DocumentProperties></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:OfficeDocumentSettings></o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><w:WordDocument><w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel><w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery><w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery>2</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery><w:DocumentKind>DocumentNotSpecified</w:DocumentKind><w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing>7.8 磅</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing><w:PunctuationKerning></w:PunctuationKerning><w:View>Normal</w:View><w:Compatibility><w:AdjustLineHeightInTable/><w:DontGrowAutofit/><w:BalanceSingleByteDoubleByteWidth/><w:DoNotExpandShiftReturn/></w:Compatibility><w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom></w:WordDocument></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true" DefSemiHidden="true" DefQFormat="false" DefPriority="99" LatentStyleCount="260" >

The use of songs, by Basu Chatterji, Hrishikesh, Gulzar, and Sai Paranjype has been exceptional. As you mentioned, some of the films like <i>Baton Baton Mein</i> have songs as the wait-for-moment today, 40 + years later. But overall, songs are nicely woven into the scheme of things. You would love to hear <i>“Na Jaane Kyon”</i> in isolation, but I am sure you would also love to see the film once you hear the song. The same can be inferred for songs like <i>“Thoda Hai Thode Ki”</i> or <i>“Pal Bhar Mein Yeh Kya Ho Gaya”.</i> In hindsight, the songs, the background score, dialogues, and periods of silence, all add up to the cinema of Basu Chatterji. Especially in his common man films. I would keep <i>Rajanigandha</i> as a true representative of the style Basu patented in Hindi cinema.</span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p></p><p><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:DocumentProperties><o:Revision>1</o:Revision><o:Pages>1</o:Pages><o:Lines>1</o:Lines><o:Paragraphs>1</o:Paragraphs></o:DocumentProperties></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:OfficeDocumentSettings></o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><w:WordDocument><w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel><w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery><w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery>2</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery><w:DocumentKind>DocumentNotSpecified</w:DocumentKind><w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing>7.8 磅</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing><w:PunctuationKerning></w:PunctuationKerning><w:View>Normal</w:View><w:Compatibility><w:AdjustLineHeightInTable/><w:DontGrowAutofit/><w:BalanceSingleByteDoubleByteWidth/><w:DoNotExpandShiftReturn/></w:Compatibility><w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom></w:WordDocument></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true" DefSemiHidden="true" DefQFormat="false" DefPriority="99" LatentStyleCount="260" >

Which somehow do not garner the appreciation they deserve. These films need to be shown over OTT platforms.

I found <i>Rajni</i> very engrossing. I was a 3rd-year student at Kgp and would never miss a single episode at the R K Hall Common room. I am sure if Prasar Bharti and DD combine to re-release <i>Rajni</i> on some OTT platform, it will do well. <i>Byomkesh</i> is there on YouTube, and people are very fond of it. I am not a huge fan; have certain issues against the serial, and the same have been voiced in my book.

it's gotta be <i>The Departed</i> by Martin Scorsese. Interestingly, it was an adaptation of the hit
Hong Kong film <i>Infernal Affairs</i>. While the latter was itself a very popular
film, it may not be wrong to say that <i>The Departed</i> has surpassed it by acquiring near cult status. <br /></p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieaI2uBTsvAas0jYbx2VYqPMdCUP0f8X5c5dK9ZJGIljuycPmj3CWUmAOhBPcYSsYPI_Hda7iX1f8iNuNgRLmoIy96QmFffz8btICnL101Rd2omN6RYb1S3tiBp06IgDXZeqYQcmTfQ5-rB36dhSxq5yyt9omsBtJW5YfK9Ag_1DkeuFAVQU5S8rIW/s3375/VVedha.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3375" data-original-width="2700" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieaI2uBTsvAas0jYbx2VYqPMdCUP0f8X5c5dK9ZJGIljuycPmj3CWUmAOhBPcYSsYPI_Hda7iX1f8iNuNgRLmoIy96QmFffz8btICnL101Rd2omN6RYb1S3tiBp06IgDXZeqYQcmTfQ5-rB36dhSxq5yyt9omsBtJW5YfK9Ag_1DkeuFAVQU5S8rIW/s320/VVedha.jpg" width="256" /></a></div>So, it was with this in mind
I wanted to watch <i>Vikram Vedha</i> which is a remake of the Tamil film of the same
name. The original film starring Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi was a huge blockbuster and it was no wonder that the filmmakers were keen to remake it in Hindi with Saif Khan and Hrithik Roshan in the roles of Vikram and Vedha. However, the Hindi remake failed to recreate the magic of the original. Even though the film is supposedly an exact copy, made by the very same filmmakers who directed the original. <p></p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">While there has been a bunch of theories about why the Hindi version failed, the consensus has been that "miscasting" is to blame for the film's below par performance at the box-office. That Hrithik Roshan was a bit too glamorous for the role of Vedha and didn't have the gritty, no-nonsense appeal of Sethupathi.</p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">After watching the film (belatedly) on OTT, my take is a bit different. Roshan sure brings a lot of swag to the role of gangster and perhaps even outshines the staid and straight cop played by Saif Khan. In fact, an extra song was added to the film (Alcoholia) to cater to Roshan's incredible dancing chops. Sure that does take away a lot from the 'gritty realism' that a dirty-cops-gangster movie needs. But given the stylistic tone of the film, the glamorized gangster is not such a misfit.<br /></p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;"> </p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">The flaw in the movie is its weak storyline. Take for instance the romantic angle (with Radhika Apte in the role of the cop's wife who is also a lawyer) is an unnecessary add-on and the writers fail to amp
up the tension that the situation could have provided. In fact at one point she even asks her husband if her only role
is to be a courier between the cop and the gangster. That in itself is a
dead giveaway for the convenient characterization! </p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;"> </p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">Ironically, the<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpwnlr-ZHB0" target="_blank"> Vikram Vedha trailer</a> focuses on the "moral dilemmas" (Is every bad act really bad/Is every good deed really good?) but this does not play out in the movie as powerfully as it should have. The metaphor of Betaal, which is reprised in the form of Vedha raising morality questions, at best adds a bit of frill to the storytelling structure. <br /></p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">Instead what we get is yet another permutation and combination of the dirty-cop-gangster trope with lots of booming action, an even more bombastic background score that's an auditory assault, and an ending that is ambivalent. And the moral issue is happily buried under the gunfire and dead bodies. </p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;"> </p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;">Ultimately, the<i> "kahani" </i>is what lets the film down despite Vedha's undeniable swag when he asks: <i>"Ek Kahani sunaye</i> Sir?"</p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; margin: 0in;"><br /></p>

Such stories have a thriller like urgency about them and yet are rooted in familiar, real life situations. A well crafted, edgy psychological suspense can keep the reader hooked till the very last page. </p><p>The novella <a href="https://www.amazon.in/Where-Did-You-Go-Psychological-ebook/dp/B0B8JLTJ5J" target="_blank"><i><b>Where Did You Go</b></i>?</a> by debut author P.L. Jonas begins with an intriguing set up. Sammy, a successful but reclusive ghostwriter, is offered a chance of a life time. The project involves completing a half-finished manuscript by her favourite writer, Margaret Mitchell, the celebrated author of the all-time classic <i>Gone with the Wind</i>. Her brief is simple: she needs to follow the outline that the author has left behind and submit a draft within a tight deadline. </p><p>Her publisher, James, is confident that Sammy has what it takes to finish the novel. The chance of having her name on the book along with that of Mitchell is an exciting prospect. Even though she is extremely anxious about the publicity that such a high-profile project is bound to attract, she agrees to take it up. <br /></p><p>As she dives into the project, Sammy begins to have doubts. Has she bitten off more than she can chew? And what's with the vivid dreams of Rhett Butler where she finds herself in the role of Scarlett? Is it just the pressure of writing the book and the looming deadline? Only problem is that she doesn't remember adding several scenes to the manuscript. Is she sleep-writing? Is that even possible? </p><p>Like every good psychological suspense novel, this one too probes the mysteries of the mind. Sammy as the unreliable narrator keeps the reader's attention hooked. With little breadcrumbs thrown in about Sammy's childhood years and her troubled relationship with her mother, the author puts together a gripping plot. What the author does beautifully is make the main character and her career (ghostwriter) an intriguing part of the character's mental makeup. Is Sammy just a writer who like many others in the business has a vivid fantasy-prone imagination? Or is there something in her past that she is hiding? Are her dreams just dreams or is there some truth to the scenarios that are being revealed to her in her dreams?<br /></p><p>The flaw in the story is that the plot twist comes a little too early. And the subsequent revelations are more tell than show. While the story revolves mainly around Sammy and her inner world, the other characters like James (her school friend and now publisher), her estranged brother Matthew do play minor roles. The author has missed an opportunity to mine these relationships to further deepen the mystery before giving us the big reveal. Gloria's role as the nosy neighbour too remains underdeveloped. </p><p>Overall though, it's an engrossing read. If you enjoy reading psychological suspense, you won't be disappointed.</p><p>Get your copy from <a href="https://www.amazon.in/Where-Did-You-Go-Psychological-ebook/dp/B0B8JLTJ5J" target="_blank">AmazonIN</a> or<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Where-Did-You-Go-Psychological-ebook/dp/B0B8JLTJ5J" target="_blank"> Amazon.com</a><br /></p><p> </p><p><i>Thanks to Saga Fiction for an Advance Review Copy of the book. </i><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> <br /></p><p></p>Aditehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11367774576365388967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857004313700118578.post-65413723105786348102022-08-20T17:58:00.003+05:302022-08-20T18:03:23.897+05:30Are Screenwriters Under Appreciated in Bollywood? <p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 40px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTZc_3FCCw1qVCUnaMR9zMCCOLnRncin6HPogIOzk2SuaxdPvmu-hz65rrolZ1EKf52ACzbWs7EAoKSWS1Pm5X9N-LUzrzNnwNg8Ibew7QI3bNt2w876DBIu_nioBLzOgGvQkQhtINOfif1C4B4Qr4v4D99mwOL9UF_vVtYbf_S-c6iWbah-41uJ2Q/s400/Akshay1.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="400" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTZc_3FCCw1qVCUnaMR9zMCCOLnRncin6HPogIOzk2SuaxdPvmu-hz65rrolZ1EKf52ACzbWs7EAoKSWS1Pm5X9N-LUzrzNnwNg8Ibew7QI3bNt2w876DBIu_nioBLzOgGvQkQhtINOfif1C4B4Qr4v4D99mwOL9UF_vVtYbf_S-c6iWbah-41uJ2Q/w400-h300/Akshay1.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br />The Hindi movie industry is one of the most prolific film industries in the world. According to available figures on the Internet, revenue collections in 2019 stood at Rs 19000 crore. This includes revenues earned from films, television, OTT, etc. Over the last couple of years, thanks to the pandemic, movie viewing in theatres has seen a significant decline. People are preferring to watch streaming channels where there are scores of movies and web series to choose from at the press of a remote button. <p></p><p>2022 has seen more movies releasing in theatres but it seems like audiences are not returning as fast as the filmmakers would like them to. So much so that a string of big budget films including the much awaited Aamir Khan starrer <i>Lal Singh Chadha</i> has had a shockingly disastrous opening at the box office. Something that would be unthinkable for a mega star of his stature. Akshay Kumar, another mega star has had an equally tepid release in <i>Raksha Bandhan</i>. </p><p>It's not as if all film releases are faring badly at the box office though. A clutch of movies made by the South Indian film industry (including <i>RRR</i> and <i>KGF</i>) have had massive collections at the box office. So what gives? According to most industry pundits, the major factor for the great run that South Indian films are experiencing is their emphasis on a strong storyline rather than star power. The Hindi movie makers in contrast are relying on the heft of their mega stars to pull audiences into the theatres and it's not working any more. The pay package of the big-league Bollywood stars is anything between Rs 120 - Rs 135 crore.</p><p>Recently, even Akshay Kumar admitted that writers are the most important professionals for film projects and they are not adequately compensated (source: Economic Times). While it is one thing to pay lip service to the role of the screenwriter, will this realization change anything on the ground in Bollywood? To do that, movie makers will have to rejig the entire system. Which would mean that actors like Akshay Kumar would have to take a massive pay cut. It remains to be seen if the star-centric system can actually be rejigged and made into an ecosystem that focuses on great storytelling rather than star power. </p><p>Do share your thoughts. </p><p><br /></p>Aditehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11367774576365388967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857004313700118578.post-88398470765095700542022-07-17T16:21:00.017+05:302022-08-02T19:22:44.382+05:30A heart-wrenching family saga: Book Review of Pachinko by Lee Min-jin<p> </p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34051011-pachinko" style="float: left; padding-right: 20px;"><img alt="Pachinko" border="0" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1529845599l/34051011._SX98_.jpg" /></a><p><a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34051011-pachinko">Pachinko</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/378209.Lee_Min_jin">Lee Min-jin</a><br />
My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4826736953">3 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
A saga of Korean immigrants that covers three generations of a family and their strife and trials as they try to assimilate into Japanese society. The story is fascinating as it highlights the issues of Korean culture and the discrimination they faced at the hands of their colonisers, the Japanese. It tackles the issue of what it means to be a Korean living in Japan at the turn of the century and up until the 21st century. Identity remains at the core of this heart wrenching family saga.<br /><br />The story begins with Sunja who along with her mother runs a boarding house for working class men. They lead a hard, simple life. Sunja's attraction for a wealthy man who is much older than her leaves her pregnant. But she refuses his offer of becoming his mistress and instead marries the minister who is staying at their boarding house, moving with him to Japan. Even though Sunja's story is central to the book, it is as much a book of the secondary characters who come into her life and those of her children. Among the many themes that the book covers, I particularly liked the mother-daughter equations in the context of "choice". Sunja's relationship with her mother and that of Hana with her parent are striking and heart-wrenching. <br /><br />My major quibble with this book is the writing style. The narrative is disjointed and jerky, flitting from one character's story to another with huge leaps in time. At times it feels like the author prefers to leave a dramatic situation mid-way instead of milking it for more emotion. </p><p>At the end of the book, an interview with the author reveals the significant role pachinko parlours (a kind of gambling den) have played in the lives of Korean immigrants. However, this aspect is not given enough play in the book and comes in too late to justify the title of the book. <br /></p><p>Overall, though, I enjoyed the book as it gave me insights into the Korean and Japanese cultures.

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4815844071">5 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
Geetanjali Shree's original book in Hindi is called Ret Samadhi and the translated version by Daisy Rockwell is Tomb of Sand. The writer's style is lyrical and captures the essence of an Indian family completely and evocatively. In fact the amazing thing about the author's style is that it goes above and beyond the cast of characters, roping in inanimate objects (like the door, for instance), the natural elements, crows and invisible things like borders. The story lies not so much in the plotline of an old woman and her journey to find the house and man she has left behind as in highlighting the nuances of families, countries, borders, neighbourhoods, <i>galis</i> and <i>mohallas</i>, the environment, the smells, sounds and landscape, the past and present and everything in between (including a delightful treatise on the silk sari as narrated from the point of view of a crow!) that makes up the heart and soul of India. The writing is superb, bathed in a rhythmic cadence that is so quintessentially Indian. In that sense, the translator has done a superlative job in not just translating the words but also the "rhythms" of the prose. <br /><br />Some words however are simply untranslateable -- and the title of the book is one such. Tomb of Sand which is the closest to "Ret Samadhi" actually misses the idea of a samadhi... Similarly, labeling the book as a Partition novel does not do justice to the book. Yes, in a sense it does revolve around a character whose life is forever changed by that historical event. The author also pays her tributes to the body of work of renowned writers and poets who have written about the Partition in a wonderfully evocative, imaginative and unique scene set on the Wagah border. Honestly, if there is one scene that makes the book worthy of a read it is this particular scene! But Partition at best remains a 'plot point' that emerges almost three quarters into the book and adds pace to the story. But I would still argue that while "borders" is a theme of the book, it is much much more than just another book about the India-Pakistan Partition. <br /><br />The only aspect that left me a bit disappointed was the manner in which the old woman's daughter's story (Beti) is wrapped up. It is perhaps inevitable that the 'daughter' in an Indian family would get the short shrift. But still, it would be nice to get some closure. Just as Bade's (the eldest son) story gets one. All in all, it is a wonderful read. Geetanjali Shree with her lyrical prose and writing evokes a Gabriel Garcia Marquez like quality that's rooted in the Indian way of life.

The reason <i>Sholay</i> stands on the Number 1 block of the victory stand of Indian Cinema since 15th August, 1975 and is unshakeable even 47 years after its release and will always be immovable is because it’s the only perfect amalgam of writing and form, that too in every department of filmmaking.</span> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC22dPZU3FPdG2jPFBu5Yr8GyR1PHpJIbEk6Rzt-HJdRjKA9UbnTyCzFIL_syADuIu04497HjK44dNR1DUgsaLfNJA9KUx_YtyDwxGC8GsvmhcBEf1Mf5LLMhQrfSfrZJ7DSzLmbpyIt0L2v0gNsJgAaGlPcT_vm-3k8KbX_z6S1BjXmf7Xaf-FHmN/s574/IMG-20220412-WA0015.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="535" data-original-width="574" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC22dPZU3FPdG2jPFBu5Yr8GyR1PHpJIbEk6Rzt-HJdRjKA9UbnTyCzFIL_syADuIu04497HjK44dNR1DUgsaLfNJA9KUx_YtyDwxGC8GsvmhcBEf1Mf5LLMhQrfSfrZJ7DSzLmbpyIt0L2v0gNsJgAaGlPcT_vm-3k8KbX_z6S1BjXmf7Xaf-FHmN/s320/IMG-20220412-WA0015.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />We need to be grateful to the writing of Salim Saab, Javed Saab, the big heartedness of G.P Sippy Saab and the craftmanship of Ramesh Sippy Ji for giving us what Shekhar Kapur has termed as the most defining film of Indian Cinema. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Even today we see traces of <i>Sholay</i> in modern day gigantic blockbusters like <i>Bahubali</i> where <i>“Katappa ne Bahubali ko kyon maara”</i> at the end of part one feels like an equivalent to why did Thakur not pick up the gun close to the interval point. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Bheem and Ram of <i>RRR</i> are the modern day Veeru and Jai which Javed Saab has himself expressed at the <i>RRR</i> Success Party and the audience, including me, is referring to Sanjay Dutt as Adheera in </span><i><span style="font-size: medium;">KGF 2</span></i><span style="font-size: medium;"> as a modern day Gabbar. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5e5uh75vZILtcNVrXfOTNHHM6whrvSXO5-U-4J_7L-voiK0XpHJqpu4LNlddB2tSmVLNLB7JPYrGr2N3mEkXNqexZ6kqsfeEeDKuLt5tdmkABj8EiWc9M45yiWf_ZXqOyX-Y-o8v1xz6B-o-6vbx7erd_9Tms8AB-jqfbyhPOhFxILY5PeoJgR7UE/s1280/IMG-20220412-WA0016.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5e5uh75vZILtcNVrXfOTNHHM6whrvSXO5-U-4J_7L-voiK0XpHJqpu4LNlddB2tSmVLNLB7JPYrGr2N3mEkXNqexZ6kqsfeEeDKuLt5tdmkABj8EiWc9M45yiWf_ZXqOyX-Y-o8v1xz6B-o-6vbx7erd_9Tms8AB-jqfbyhPOhFxILY5PeoJgR7UE/s320/IMG-20220412-WA0016.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />In fact, immediately after seeing <i>RRR</i> on the first day of its release I called its Story Writer V.

What's not to love! So, get ready to be immersed in the spirit of the festival of lights! </p><p></p><p><i>Blurb: Small town girl Sanjana Kale wants a fresh start in Mumbai. A
challenging job and some much needed distance from her ludicrously
over-protective family could get her life under control. Forced to team
up with video game designer Ashwin Deo, who is too attractive for his
own good, she finds life becoming a whole lot more complicated when he
turns out to be her new neighbour. How can she maintain a professional
distance with this charming troublemaker who believes in getting up
close and personal? To make matters worse, her ex tries to manipulate
her loved ones to work his way back into her life. Hysterical siblings, a
cantankerous client, an ex who will not take no for an answer, and a
blow hot blow cold neighbour... Sanjana is sleepless in the City of
Dreams! Can she do what Ashwin dares her to--create a few ripples even
if it upsets her family?</i> </p><p>Check out this excerpt and if you like it, do pick up a copy for yourself or gift it to your friends and family. </p><p>The paperback is now available across multiple platforms - <a href="https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07FC2JGK1" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://notionpress.com/read/bombay-heights" target="_blank">Notionpress</a> and <a href="https://www.flipkart.com/bombay-heights/p/itmaf65bf52e6673?pid=9781685868154&affid=editornoti&affid=editornoti" target="_blank">Flipkart. </a></p><p>Have a great Diwali! </p><p>Excerpt </p><p><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Sanjana was fuming by the time she had finished at the office. Ashwin Deo—aka Ash—was perhaps the most infuriating person she had ever come across. What was worse, everyone at work—including her normally reserved boss—seemed to think the sun shone out of his tight butt! To give the Devil its due, he was particularly blessed by the Gods (or perhaps a great physical trainer) when it came to a superb anatomy. His business-casual attire added substance to his style without turning him into some kind of filmstar eye-candy. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">He had insisted on narrating the whole embarrassing incident about the confusion over his dog’s name in excruciating detail and had made it out as if she was responsible for the fact that the mutt was still alive and breathing.

Ever since she had moved to Mumbai, she’d evaded their questions about Chetan with vague replies.

Through dialogue one can reveal character and story elements, dramatic conflict and much more. However, there are some common dialogue mistakes that need to be avoided. <b>Author Pamela Todd-Hunter</b> shares some of these... Read on...<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Dialogue is essential to any story. It’s used to move the plot along, reveal something important about the characters, and keep the pace, but I’ve found that it’s not as easy to write as it seems. Here are several mistakes that can make or break a story. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Cover too much territory</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Dialogue between characters is the easiest way to move the story forward and give information to the reader but be careful of how much you reveal. We’ve all been warned against info dumps. Usually these occur when the writer is describing the backstory and gives too much information at once, but dialogue can also cause this. Conversations between characters are one of the easiest ways to disseminate information that the reader needs but be stingy. Giving information all at once can confuse the reader and slow the pace of your story. When writing dialogue, you want to parcel out what the reader needs to know, you don’t want to dump it all at once.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><br />Telling and not showing</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">We’ve all been told to show don’t tell. When writing dialogue, we must do the same thing. It’s easy to tell how a character feels, but you don’t allow the reader to experience it. The character can say I’m angry or I’m sad but it’s better to show how the character feels. Use tone or body language to convey feelings. Set the scene and describe what the characters are doing.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">“This movie always makes me sad,” Sara said as the credits rolled.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">This could be re-written to show what the character is feeling. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">The credits rolled. Sara blinked to hide the wetness that clung to her lashes. “That movie gets me every time,” she sighed.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Trying to keep it real</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Dialogue should sound similar to the way people speak. You want to sound natural but certain words such as um, ugh, and uh shouldn’t be used. Although they are common in real conversations they don’t belong in dialogue. You can describe a character’s hesitation or how they feel without using them. Also be wary of “talking heads”. Small-talk can set the scene or introduce the characters, but limit the amount used in your dialogue. Sometimes it’s best to get to the point.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Getting too creative with dialogue tags</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">When writing dialogue, try not to use “he said” or “she said” after each sentence since it gets redundant. On the other hand, using descriptive tags such as “he bellowed” or “she mumbled inaudibly” can be a distraction to the reader since they need to think about what the writer is trying to convey. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">“I don’t want to see a movie,” Sara said.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">To remove the dialogue tag the sentence could be rewritten using action to show what the character is feeling.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">“I don’t want to see a movie.” Sara crossed her arms and glared at Tom.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">If you only have two characters in the scene, it’s easy for the reader to figure out who’s speaking. When you have more, break up the scene with action or character description.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Your dialogue doesn’t have a point</span></b><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Don’t use dialogue to fill space.

Let’s face it, men think differently than we do and we all know they hail from the other side of the galaxy. So how do we get inside their heads to write about what they are really thinking? <br />The first and most obvious step is to come right out and ask them. When we were writing our second book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0989024733/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i1" target="_blank"><b>Destiny Reborn</b></a>, we decided to do some real life research and ask several men a simple question to obtain more insight into the male psyche. “What do you feel when you see someone you’re attracted to for the first time?” This was not the right question. </p><p>The first man gave us a blank stare. The second answered with a long drawn out “AH.” The third was a bit more vocal and politely answered, “How the heck do I know? I’m a guy and guys don’t talk about stuff like that.”<br />So, it was back to the drawing board and more research. You see, according to different studies, men are more concrete thinkers. They have all the same feeling as women do but they tend not to want to talk about them as much or explain them to anyone. No new information there, all women know we like to talk about our feelings.<br />The next question we devised for the same three men, “What do you notice first about a woman?” Man number one told us, “The face first, then legs and butt.” Man number two said, “If she’s in the distance the figure, but up close the face.” The third man answered, “I’m kinda a butt guy.”<br />We then asked the same three men, “Do you notice the details of the clothes a woman is wearing?” Man<br />one,“No. I just know they have clothes on. Then my imagination takes care of that problem.” Man three, “I notice more how they are worn rather than what’s being worn.”<br />Man two actually had the most insightful answer. “The first thing I notice is the shape. It makes a difference in what is being accentuated. For instance, if a woman is wearing a man’s shirt with only high heels, I’d notice her legs. If she had something low cut on, I notice her top, but I wouldn’t be able to describe the details of what see was wearing.”</p><p><br /><i>Bingo! They notice body parts.</i><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6uQxEZ9btQFt4l3IXRFIOY4S4sJapLCk3OliZwfRiq0UAkKpZF9oAe1pzi-iGVQXfD8cfiXyaP-0ippSRfsd81jf3mhv5Be0FLZoJSC22EV4OHFzMi5aGxccUtlzK-QbDXKWRdKEFdw/s500/PFKarlin-1.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="338" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6uQxEZ9btQFt4l3IXRFIOY4S4sJapLCk3OliZwfRiq0UAkKpZF9oAe1pzi-iGVQXfD8cfiXyaP-0ippSRfsd81jf3mhv5Be0FLZoJSC22EV4OHFzMi5aGxccUtlzK-QbDXKWRdKEFdw/w270-h400/PFKarlin-1.jpg" width="270" /></a></div><br />Keep in mind that men are concrete thinkers and don’t notice the details about clothes. Now for the tough part—how do you put that down on paper when writing in your hero’s point of view. Here are a few examples.<p></p><p><b>Example One: What not to do</b><br />When Belinda stood, he held his breath. She wore a spaghetti strap, pale blue, silk camisole. The<br />layered skirt came to mid-thigh, which exaggerated the length of her legs in those heels. It featured<br />a muted swirl pattern of white and pale blue, his favorite colors, and against her tanned skin, she looked so damn sexy. She wore her hair up in a ponytail that swayed back and forth keeping rhythm to the bounce of every step she took.<br /> </p><p>Do you see the problem? No average man would be able to tell you all the detail down to the muted swirl pattern on the skirt.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Example One: Re-written</b><br />When Belinda stood, he held his breath. She wore a skimpy camisole. The skirt came to mid-thigh, which exaggerated the length of her legs in those heels. With her tanned skin, she looked so damn sexy. She wore her hair up in a ponytail that swayed back and forth keeping rhythm to the bounce of every step she took.<br /></p><p>Not perfect, but much better.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Example Two: What not to do</b><br />The sound of the click from the lock on the bedroom door caused him to raise his head toward the hall. His mouth dropped open as Belinda floated out into the glowing light of the living room Christmas tree. At first, he couldn’t move or say a word. He could only stare. “Robert, say something. Do I look alright?” She twirled around and the light blue chiffon of the strapless, sweetheart bodice, knee length dress floated in a circle with her.<br /></p><p>Again, the problem is too much detail about the dress.<br /> </p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Example Two: Re-written</b><br />The sound of the click from the lock on the bedroom door caused him to raise his head toward the hall. Belinda floated out into the glowing light of the living room Christmas tree. At first, he couldn’t move or say a word. He could only stare. “Robert, say something. Do I look alright?” She twirled around in a light blue, chiffon dress.<br /></p><p>Still not perfect but much better. </p><p>In the final example we just played around with how we thought Robert, our hero, would see Belinda in her black dress.<br /> </p><p style="text-align: left;"><b>Example Three:</b><br />Robert scanned Belinda who looked sexy as hell in her black dress. It had long sleeves and the top half was cover in lace. The tone of her smooth skin peeked through over her shoulders and arms while the back plunged in a “V” to her waist. The skirt came mid-thigh and bounced as she moved. Her heels gave her legs a long slender appearance. She wore her hair up, twisted in curls on top of her head, exposing her neck. He could tell she had very little on underneath, and the sheer sight of that little black number draped over her delicate frame, made him want to explore. From what he could tell, one shiny button at her waist was all that kept the dress in place.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Robert watched her lift her fork and take dainty bites of food. If she keeps eating like that, I’ll never get that dress off of her. A ray of light bounced off that button and teased him. Excitement stirred within him. But, he just smiled, raised his glass to her, and took a sip of champagne, biding his time. The dress intrigued him. She obviously wasn’t wearing a bra or stockings. He caught a glint from her side. What would happen if I unfastened that button?<br />On their way back to the cottage, they walked down a path lit by ornate dim lamps. He rubbed his fingers over her bare back. She snuggled in closer. He felt a slight quiver rush over her skin as he floated his fingers under the “V” of the dress. Robert reached in under her arm and brushed the underside of her breast. She giggled. He pulled her closer.<br />As soon as he closed the door of the cottage, he took her in his arms. She rolled her head back and let out a gasp while he kissed the crevices of her neck. He toyed with the button at her side. Next to her ear he whispered, “I’ve been wondering about this button all night.” He nibbled at her earlobe. “And what would happen if I unbuttoned it.” With a slight flick of the finger, the button released and the dress back fell open.<br /></p><p>This has much less detail about what Belinda is wearing and much more about Robert’s reaction to it. It is much more believable from a man’s point of view. To summarize everything we know, men know a woman is dressed, but they have no eye for or interest in the details of what she is wearing. What they are more interested in is what is underneath or how clothes accentuate a body part.<br /></p><p>So when writing in the man’s Point of View, keep it simple. Think like a caveman because a lot of what a man sees stems from years of genetics that are far too complicated for this little article.</p><p><b>About the Author:</b></p><p><b>PF Karlin </b>is a Yankee, hailing from Chicago Illinois.

I do. It
happened to me. And this is the story of how that crush turned out. Both for me
and for him. I am Nandini Sengupta, the author of the <a href="https://www.amazon.in/dp/9353579651/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_AVVCJZW0VK62B4GFFDYY" target="_blank"><i>The Ocean's Own</i></a>, the last
and final book in the Gupta Empire Trilogy (publisher: HarperCollins India).
And this is the story of how a face I came across imprinted on a gold coin turned into my muse. A muse who called out to me through the mists of time. You see, the object of my obsession was a man who
lived many years ago. Correction, he lived 1500 years ago. And yet so strong was his pull that he made me embark on a topsy-turvy travel back to his
time. His name: Maharaja Adhiraja Samrat Shri Samudragupta. And he is the
reason I wrote <a href="https://www.amazon.in/dp/9353579651/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_AVVCJZW0VK62B4GFFDYY" target="_blank"><i>The Ocean's Own</i></a>.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span> </span></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span>

first came across Samudragupta while researching
classical India. I had already written who books about his son and great
grandson -- Devaraja Chandragupta Vikramaditya was the hero of <i>The King
Within</i> and Skandagupta was the protagonist of <i>The Poisoned Heart.</i> I was
half convinced that the third and final book should be about
Kumaragupta, Chandragupta's son. It made sense in terms of continuity
and would allow me to use the plot threads I had spun out already.</span></span></span></p><p class="yiv6631352926MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 107%;">And yet, in the end I chose Samudragupta. The reason for that were his coins and an odd pillar that carried his story. </span><span>I was intrigued that he left his imprint on the Allahabad
Pillar, that wonderful time capsule that also wears the marks of two other
monarchs from two other millennia -- Ashoka and Jahangir. </span></span></span></p><p class="yiv6631352926MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-size: medium;">Samudragupta's Prayag
Prasasthi told me a lot about his achievements -- that he was a warrior par
excellence, that he conquered almost the entire sub continent and then some,
that he remained unvanquished till the end. I realised how unfairly our history
books treated him, calling him the Indian Napoleon when in fact he was a far better
strategist and mightier conqueror than the French emperor.</span> </span></span></span></p><p class="yiv6631352926MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span></span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJBBCZ342BJPxwJce_N4HrH4McbNdCKMCLjYkKmqkIiOi2M_CoI0yaMsKCRtYWxCX1Nl6dCrAAI77jLoVfO6ws-M8MVGQrU3IpTKxFDh1zDH2f27VpqPnN7sdQpwyTziwRzOE3l-O6t3g/s2048/The+Oceans+Own+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1490" data-original-width="2048" height="466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJBBCZ342BJPxwJce_N4HrH4McbNdCKMCLjYkKmqkIiOi2M_CoI0yaMsKCRtYWxCX1Nl6dCrAAI77jLoVfO6ws-M8MVGQrU3IpTKxFDh1zDH2f27VpqPnN7sdQpwyTziwRzOE3l-O6t3g/w640-h466/The+Oceans+Own+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">But that's not the
part of the Prasasthi, written by his prime minister Harisena, that intrigued
me. What did were personal details -- the fact that his body bore the marks of
his military campaigns, so numerous were the battle scars he carried. The fact
that he was adept at playing the veena and indeed even minted coins which show
him enjoying his music. That he appreciated art and literature and indeed beauty
-- his gold coins show him staring intently at a flower, in what can only be
described as Wordsworthian wonder. That beyond military might, his diplomacy
and administrative abilities created a strong and stable empire that remained
intact for the next century and a half. </span></span><p></p><p class="yiv6631352926MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: medium;"><span><span>The more I researched him, the more I
realised how modern a man he was. Here's an ancient Indian king who had no
problems referring to himself by his mother's lineage -- he proudly called
himself Licchavi-dauhitra or grandson of the Licchavis. Here's an emperor who
had no problems minting coins with his queen Dattadevi's likeness on them. </span><span> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>And yet he respected and stuck to the
traditions of his time conducting the horse sacrifice or Ashwamedha Yagna and
leaving the imprint of his Garuda Dhwaja imperial scepter all over the land. </span></span></span></p><p class="yiv6631352926MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span>I
was intrigued too by his looks – a face was more arresting than beautiful,
his body bearing the marks of his ambition with pride, shoulder length curly
locks and an athletic frame that belied his fearsome reputation in the
battlefield. The coins told me all this but I still didn’t KNOW the man. I
needed to get into his head. I needed to find out the chinks in his armour. Did
this paragon of power ever feel vulnerable? Did his unshakeable faith in
destiny and drive ever falter? </span></span></span></p><p class="yiv6631352926MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 107%; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span><i>The Ocean’s Own</i> is my attempt to answer these

A script or screenplay is essentially a roadmap that guides a filmmaker towards his/her destination of putting together a film. And for that reason, there are a few rules that the writer needs to follow: </p><p>1. Descriptions need to be minimal and offer the filmmaking team with just the precise details about location, ambience, mood and action. </p><p>2. Emotions need to be actionable. Or, something that an actor can act out. </p><p>3. Scripts change with inputs from other members of the crew. And a writer has to be willing to make changes to her original ideas.
<a href="https://www.storizen.com/author-interviews/script-writing-versus-novel-writing/">You can read the full post here.</a></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8X2tP7PWw5g6-ycY8z4O_ehi52tEWYTe3GEhXDFuNE19jmkjKoeaHT6pxheQIvRpbcqVXOGSKCwuqecIRsUKc7S0yd5K_4o7cBqXMNDTep-q6-oT-Mb8pTpj-COMIus0elpyFi3iRhRU/s1000/Shelly-cover.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="625" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8X2tP7PWw5g6-ycY8z4O_ehi52tEWYTe3GEhXDFuNE19jmkjKoeaHT6pxheQIvRpbcqVXOGSKCwuqecIRsUKc7S0yd5K_4o7cBqXMNDTep-q6-oT-Mb8pTpj-COMIus0elpyFi3iRhRU/s320/Shelly-cover.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br />In that article I had not talked about screenplay formatting - which is a very important aspect of writing screenplays. The screenplay format - which demands that action lines or descriptions be written from one end of the page to another and the dialogues are centered in the middle - has been determined to enable the filmmaking team to precisely calculate screen time of the scenes. Typically one page of a script equals one minute of screen time and hence for a 100 minute movie, the screenplay should be anything between 90-100 pages. Again, the rule to go by is less is more. <p></p><p>This post is aimed at giving the aspiring screenplay writer a look at what a film script should be like. To illustrate the differences, I have chosen one of my own stories - <a href="https://amazon.in/dp/B08XMM4MGM" target="_blank"><b>Shelly: A Promise is Forever</b></a>. I had initially written this as a screenplay and then turned it into a short story. </p><p>The logline of Shelly is: A woman keeps her promise to her lover years after she dies. </p><p>Here is the first page of the Short Story: </p><p><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; text-indent: 27.35pt;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The silver-haired man stood in front of the life-size portrait of a young woman dressed in sailing attire. The luscious red lips beckoned </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">to </span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">him with a hint of a smile. Dark tresses tumbled all around her pretty face. Her eyes were just as he remembered them - dark, sparkling with humour and</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> holding</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> a promise. A promise that had remained unfulfilled. It had been fifty long years since he had held her hand, gazed into those lovely eyes and bid her goodbye. But it seemed like yesterday. All he had to do was reach out and pull her into his arms. Instinctively, Anand Khalap held his hand out.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; text-indent: 27.35pt;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">"She does look like she will spring out of the picture any moment, doesn't she?"</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; text-indent: 27.35pt;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">That voice grated on his ears like a nail scraping a wall. He had hoped never to hear his brother Raj ever again or set eyes on him, but here he was, visiting the Royal Yacht Club at the invitation of his estranged sibling.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; text-indent: 27.35pt;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">He turned around slowly to face Raj and got a jolt. Age had not been kind to Raj. The brother who could have rivaled any Bollywood film star in the looks department, now looked decrepit. Despite the wrinkles, dark shadows under his eyes and brittle skin, his arrogant smirk was still the same. Could it be true that Raj was dying, just as he had written in his letter?</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; text-indent: 27.35pt;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">"What's wrong with you, Raj? You look like death warmed up."</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; text-indent: 27.35pt;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Raj grimaced. "You always did believe in calling a spade a spade. But I'm not ready to kick to the bucket, yet."</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; text-indent: 27.35pt;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Before Anand could stop himself he said, "You do have a knack of cheating death."</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; text-indent: 27.35pt;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">"Whoa! That was below the belt, bro." Taking a deep breath he continued, "Never mind. The reason I asked you to come over was not to discuss my medical reports with you. Rather, I have something to show you. Come with me, please."</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-line-height-alt: 12pt; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; text-indent: 27.35pt;"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Anand couldn't bring himself to commiserate with his brother. There was too much bad blood between them. When he had received Raj's letter, he had a good mind to trash it and forget about his invitation to attend the fiftieth anniversary celebrations of the Yacht Club. If anything, he did not want to be reminded that on this very day half a century ago he had lost the love of his life.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: courier;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Yet, he had not been able to ignore Raj's invitation--his words had an edge of desperation that didn't quite go with his brother's brash and arrogant demeanour. "Just give this dying old man one chance to make amends," he had written.<br /></span></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:DocumentProperties><o:Revision>1</o:Revision><o:Pages>1</o:Pages><o:Lines>1</o:Lines><o:Paragraphs>1</o:Paragraphs></o:DocumentProperties></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:OfficeDocumentSettings></o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><w:WordDocument><w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel><w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery><w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery>2</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery><w:DocumentKind>DocumentNotSpecified</w:DocumentKind><w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing>7.8 磅</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing><w:PunctuationKerning></w:PunctuationKerning><w:View>Normal</w:View><w:Compatibility><w:AdjustLineHeightInTable/><w:DontGrowAutofit/><w:BalanceSingleByteDoubleByteWidth/><w:DoNotExpandShiftReturn/></w:Compatibility><w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom></w:WordDocument></xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true" DefSemiHidden="true" DefQFormat="false" DefPriority="99" LatentStyleCount="260" >

What a film, what crackling writing, what performances by both Dilip Saab and Amit Ji! <p></p><p>Dilip Saab was hitting the ball out of the park in every scene. Like a chameleon on top of its game -- because the character of Ashwini Kumar had such vast changing colours to cover. From a tough cop to loving husband to helpless father to ultimately shooting his only child dead. </p><p>Dilip Saab scored a 10 on 10 in every scene of this once in a lifetime film, that too with an understated performance. That is the magic of masters who achieve maximum impact with minimum fuss. No wonder then that <i>Shakti </i>finds a mention in almost every conversation that involves marvels of Hindi cinema. </p><p>I often tell Salim Saab that he and Javed Saab must have relished writing the dialogue of <i>Shakti, </i>knowing that their lines would be mouthed by two of the greatest actors on this side of the equator. </p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOzV1wKibLjbEQjIjLVzMw1fJ03I4hwfyn5yVT73SOGQ19nWCLwG0qqfzVFEQmKIsiPOIDGh9RWCFZBY94b3XoHSS6DAEM68nzfbl1EVzjx-O2yI_Qg5h26QktcHBNJMVe_Cv2_b49xsc/s320/IMG-20210712-WA0037.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="180" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOzV1wKibLjbEQjIjLVzMw1fJ03I4hwfyn5yVT73SOGQ19nWCLwG0qqfzVFEQmKIsiPOIDGh9RWCFZBY94b3XoHSS6DAEM68nzfbl1EVzjx-O2yI_Qg5h26QktcHBNJMVe_Cv2_b49xsc/s0/IMG-20210712-WA0037.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dilip Kumar in Mashaal<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br />My tribute to Dilip Saab can not be complete without mentioning his greatest scene. In <i>Mashaal</i>, his histrionics reached another level. While the <i>Shakti</i> scene was understated, the <i>Mashaal</i> scene was at the other end of the high-strung histrionics spectrum: when he tries to stop a car to take his wife (played by Waheeda ji) to the hospital. That scene is hair raising to say the least and Dilip Saab actually transforms into a middle class distraught husband, an achievement that makes the actor evaporate and only the character is visible to the audience. <p></p><p>What is remarkable about Dilip Saab’s genius is that he performed this emotion twice in the film, once when his wife is actually dying and the second time when he takes Raja through what happened that fateful night. Dilip Saab was a volcano on fire even the second time around and that happens only with acute understanding of the craft and unflinching love for the art of acting. </p><p>Dilip Saab’s mortal remains have been put to rest but the <i>mashaal </i>of his immortal status and stature in Indian Cinema shall always burn bright. </p><p><i><b>Jaideep Sen is a filmmaker and a connoisseur of the art of storytelling. </b></i></p><p><b>Read his earlier posts in the Salam Salim Saab series:</b> </p><p>#1 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2018/05/salaam-salim-saab.html" target="_blank">Salaam, Salim Saab</a> </p><p> #2 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2018/06/salaam-salim-saab-silence-that-speaks.html" target="_blank">Silence that Speaks </a></p><p>#3 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2018/07/the-invaluable-value-of-pen-salaam.html" target="_blank">The Invaluable Value of the Pen</a></p><p> #4 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2018/07/the-guru-of-screenwriting-salaam-salim.html" target="_blank">The Guru of Screenwriting</a></p><p> #5 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2018/08/normal-0-false-false-false-en-in-x-none.html" target="_blank">The Forever Burning Flame of Sholay</a></p><p> #6 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2018/09/the-strength-of-characterisation.html" target="_blank">The Strength of Characterisation</a> </p><p> #7<a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2018/09/bond-of-brotherhood.html" target="_blank"> Bond of Brotherhood</a></p><p> #8 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2018/10/the-sangam-of-genius-and-his-admirer.html" target="_blank">The Sangam of a Genius and his Admirer </a></p><p> #9 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2018/10/first-link-in-zanjeer.html" target="_blank">First Link in the Zanjeer </a></p><p>#10 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2018/11/vijay-eternal-winner.html" target="_blank">Vijay – The Eternal Winner </a></p><p> #11 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2018/12/lets-celebrate-salim-khan.html" target="_blank">Let's Celebrate Salim Khan! </a></p><p> #12 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2019/01/the-memorable-women-behind-angry-young.html" target="_blank">The Memorable Women Behind the Angry Young Man</a></p><p> #13 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2019/06/the-definition-of-love-story.html" target="_blank">The Definition of a Love Story</a> </p><p>#14 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2019/06/relevance-etched-in-stone.html" target="_blank">Relevance Etched in Stone </a></p><p> #15 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2019/10/fuelled-by-rejection.html" target="_blank">Fuelled by Rejection</a> </p><p>#16 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2020/01/dialogue-spoken-word.html" target="_blank">Dialogue - the Spoken Word </a></p><p> #17 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2020/02/when-salman-khan-chose-to-strip-off-his.html" target="_blank">When Salman Khan Chose to Strip Off his Stardom</a></p><p> #18 <a href="https://www.aditebanerjie.com/2021/02/the-most-memorable-line-of-indian-cinema.html" target="_blank">The Most Memorable Line of Indian Cinema</a></p>Aditehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11367774576365388967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857004313700118578.post-14050778809995765702021-06-10T08:45:00.003+05:302021-06-11T07:47:22.797+05:30How to Start your Screenwriting Journey<p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgUEDCcX95hpOLZByFOQ4-evOoUVgpFtimFz69mgGhP5xs4RRVf0aGM_zHnPG_Oh5cfFT_H4J41n1W2VsqUHufB0zZSpWvSvpy-2QiEb1MXAokKETiMQMbaCYPKBUDyvetnaYRyScyxQU/s1920/clemens-van-lay-un1s8VOLRC0-unsplash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1920" height="271" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgUEDCcX95hpOLZByFOQ4-evOoUVgpFtimFz69mgGhP5xs4RRVf0aGM_zHnPG_Oh5cfFT_H4J41n1W2VsqUHufB0zZSpWvSvpy-2QiEb1MXAokKETiMQMbaCYPKBUDyvetnaYRyScyxQU/w409-h271/clemens-van-lay-un1s8VOLRC0-unsplash.jpg" width="409" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@clemensvanlay?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Clemens van Lay</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/s/photos/journey-mapping?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Unsplash</a>
</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Newbie writers who are eager to start a career in screenwriting often ask me: I wish to become a screenwriter. How do I go about it? </p><p>Every writer's journey is unique and what works for me, may not necessarily work for you. Like every journey, in this one too you may come across many different paths to get to your destination. The important thing is to get started with a rough map and then figure out the milestones on the way. So here are some tips...</p><p><b> </b></p><p><b>Learn the Craft</b> It all begins with learning the craft. So let's not jump the gun. And this is the fun part. If you wish to be a screenwriter, you need to understand how movies are written. The best way to do this is by watching a lot of films. Mindfully. So you have a bunch of films that you love. Those are the ones where you should start...not simply to be entertained but to understand the writing behind it. Take notes on what happens in a scene. How one scene flows into another. How characters are at the beginning of a story and at the end. At what points do major events in the story take place. The ups and downs faced by characters and how this impacts the story. Take copious notes. Then go and do a search for the screenplay of the film. Read it...and you will be able to make the connection between what you watched on screen and what you read on the script. As you do this over several films, you will begin to understand just how important structure of a screenplay is. How the structure varies for different genres. </p><p>While you're taking a deep dive into the craft, there are some great screenwriting resources that will help you in understanding screenplays, storytelling, structure, character development and more. Here are some: <a href="https://gointothestory.blcklst.com/" target="_blank">Go into the Story</a> <a href="https://www.screenwritingu.com/" target="_blank">ScreenwritingU</a> <a href="https://savethecat.com" target="_blank">Save the Cat</a></p><p><b><br />Practice </b>The only way to ensure that you are absorbing the necessary elements of screenwriting is with practice. Don't have a story idea? Check out some of the writing prompt sites to trigger your imagination. Use some of the above mentioned resources to work out a rough outline and start writing. Since screenplays have a unique format, you may want to download free software such as <a href="https://celtx.en.softonic.com/" target="_blank">Celtx</a>. Have fun with it. The more you write and practice, the better your scripts will be. Join an online screenwriters forum to connect with other writers and exchange scripts for feedback. Forums like<a href="https://stage32.com" target="_blank"> Stage32</a> are a great place to connect with writers and other filmmaking professionals. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw5tju4UXnq7POKrWi7LDymUix94m9eQi_2j5Hodzb4ZXCsjw4pDfdyQ2MH7de9h9unPQh6nx93cTPThn2NM4CMvme29_fFpvxsLGM9VjaRbfuBKFuIw4BIJ18aFFEWDub7ajMjxCQrCo/s2048/etienne-girardet-EP6_VZhzXM8-unsplash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjw5tju4UXnq7POKrWi7LDymUix94m9eQi_2j5Hodzb4ZXCsjw4pDfdyQ2MH7de9h9unPQh6nx93cTPThn2NM4CMvme29_fFpvxsLGM9VjaRbfuBKFuIw4BIJ18aFFEWDub7ajMjxCQrCo/w388-h300/etienne-girardet-EP6_VZhzXM8-unsplash.jpg" width="388" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@etiennegirardet?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Etienne Girardet</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/s/photos/writing?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Unsplash</a>
</td></tr></tbody></table></p><p><b>Make friends and collaborate</b> Often interacting with other writers, filmmakers and other professionals in the field helps you to understand how the industry works. Unlike other forms of fiction writing, screenwriters can't create in isolation. A script is just the starting point and you need to find others who are as excited about your writing as you are to help you turn the words on the page into moving images. As a newbie screenwriter it is tough to connect with established professionals, production houses and filmmakers. The trick is often to start small...write a short film project and collaborate with a newbie filmmaker to get it made. You can reach out on Stage32 and LinkedIn and connect with a bunch of people. A screen credit or two will help you reach the next level of your screenwriting journey.<br /></p><p><b>Enter Contests </b>This is a great way of establishing your credentials as a screenwriter. While you do have to pay entry fees, consider this as an investment in your career. Try out a couple during the first year. Many of these also offer feedback from judges. So that will definitely help you to get a grip on how far you have progressed in learning the craft. If you place as a quarter- semi- or finalist or end up a winner, it will inspire you to keep moving forward and connecting with professionals in the film industry. </p><p>With a couple of <a href="https://filmfreeway.com/" target="_blank">contest </a>placements, a bunch of scripts and maybe a produced short script credit line in your portfolio you are now poised to enter the second stage of your journey...getting a manager or agent to represent you.

But what exactly is it? The most simple definition is: it is the unique, individualistic style that distinguishes a writer from other writers. Most significantly, as Rachel Gardner puts it so eloquently: <b>writer's voice is an expression of You on the page</b>.<br /><p></p><p>It could be one of many things or a combination of several: use of diction, syntax, description style, dialogue, character development, flow of the narrative, tone, etc. However it goes beyond all this--it encompasses your personal world view. Through your voice you connect with readers with your unique take. </p><p><b>It's the equivalent of your signature as a writer.</b> And just like you did when you were young -- practise multiple ways of writing your name to finally focus on a particular signature that you would use life long -- a writer needs to work on her voice to find the one that she's most comfortable with. </p><p><b>Reading can help</b> you find out the kind of 'voices' that appeal to you as a reader. Do you love those light-hearted, humour-laced stories? Or do you feel comfortable with stories that explore the darker side of human nature? Perhaps you enjoy writing that has a smart, minimalistic edge? The best way to figure out what works best for you is by writing. Experiment with different styles and see what feels natural to you. Your personality, thoughts and take on different subjects will help guide you in the right direction. </p><p><b>Genre</b> is often one of the easiest ways to find your voice. If you want to write romance or horror or historical fiction then clearly you have a few templates to explore. When you bring your stories to that template, you begin the process of tweaking it by adding elements of your own style to it. <br /></p><p><b>Plot structure and character development</b> are often great tools in developing your unique voice. There are writers whose narrative style is distinctive because of the way their stories unfold. Use of flashbacks and flash forwards - will add your stamp to it. Even if you switch genres - your narrative style is unlikely to alter in a huge way. Though your tone may be different - for instance, the tone for a rom-com will be different from that of a romantic suspense - there are many storytelling elements that will have your own unique stamp when you're writing in either of these genres. To illustrate, if humour is your forte, it would inevitably find its way into your story - through character dialogue or description even if you're not writing a comedy.<br /></p><p><b>First Person narrations</b> are a great way to establish your personal signature on your writing. The reader reads the story from the point of view of the Protagonist -- and the writer can easily project her unique take through the voice of the protagonist. It's little wonder then that some of the most distinctive writer's voices are to be found when they are written in the first person. In film, this generally takes the form of a narrator/voiceover. </p><p><b>Different voices </b>It's often practical to adopt different voices for different types of writing. When writing a blog, you would adopt a style that is different from the one you use when you write fiction. But it's always good to be consistent with whatever voice you use. </p><p>I hope you find this post useful. Do share your thoughts and observations in the comment box.

This time I have chosen to write something a little sinister, a little dark. It's an ultra-short love story titled <a href="https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08XMM4MGM" target="_blank"><i><b>Shelly: A Promise is Forever</b></i></a>. <p></p><p>A couple of years ago, as part of a screenwriting challenge--where one is given a few prompts to come up with a short script--I had written this story. It has stayed with me and when I told a friend about this script, she said, 'Why don't you turn it into a short story?' </p><p>Though I had thought that fleshing out a six page screenplay would be difficult, as it turned out, once I started writing, the words flowed. Since the storyline was already in place it took me just a couple of days to finish a draft of about 2500 words. A couple of revisions and edits later, it was good to go.<br /></p><p>This is the first time I have turned one of my scripts into a book--and it has been an experience that I would not mind repeating. </p><p>The story revolves around two brothers. When a reluctant Anand Khalap agrees to meet his estranged brother Raj,
he has no idea that he will finally uncover the mystery of the death of
his beloved Shelly. Will it bring them the closure they need?</p><p>If the blurb intrigues you, I hope you will <a href="https://www.amazon.in/dp/B08XMM4MGM">grab a copy of the ebook from Amazon</a>. Do leave a review if you read it. Would also love to know your thoughts about short stories -- are you a short story reader or do you prefer long stories? </p><p>Happy Reading! <br /></p>Aditehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11367774576365388967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857004313700118578.post-54487245375113764792021-02-21T17:59:00.004+05:302021-04-28T15:46:14.636+05:30The Most Memorable Line of Indian Cinema<p class="MsoNormal"> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:DocumentProperties><o:Revision>1</o:Revision><o:Pages>1</o:Pages><o:Lines>1</o:Lines><o:Paragraphs>1</o:Paragraphs></o:DocumentProperties></xml><![endif]--><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVWteNu_pVeIRJPgf0g2d3Nkyj0M1C8feZRxHQMSaeVXUIUnmNV7xzJIFOvLEHJ5UzENx9n0hxWWQvpGPeuMXvhO4Ptb979EFJp4WSfTfGti_kKOuS3taRQwvKpLl9BJua-JcCXBFcxLM/s1024/SSS-blog-pic.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="1024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVWteNu_pVeIRJPgf0g2d3Nkyj0M1C8feZRxHQMSaeVXUIUnmNV7xzJIFOvLEHJ5UzENx9n0hxWWQvpGPeuMXvhO4Ptb979EFJp4WSfTfGti_kKOuS3taRQwvKpLl9BJua-JcCXBFcxLM/w400-h200/SSS-blog-pic.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>By Jaideep Sen </b><br /></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Last evening as </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">I</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> was watching </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">Indian Idol, I realised it was </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> a Mothers</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">’</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Special episode which was obviously a tearjerker</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">.

frankly did not enjoy and couldn't bring myself to finish. When I picked
up <i><b>City of Girls</b></i>, I was intrigued more by the fact that it was set in
New York, a city that I had visited a couple of years ago. Watching a
Broadway show was the major highlight of my trip. Given that City of Girls is also set in the world of 'showgirls', I
was hooked. <br /><br />New York of the 1940s comes alive on the pages as we
meet the rich and entitled Vivian Morris who arrives in the City to
live with her slightly wild and eccentric aunt Peg. Peg runs a theatre
where Vivian befriends an interesting cast of characters including a
sexy showgirl, Peg's female secretary and lover and their actress
friend. Vivian teams up with her showgirl friend and finds ample ways to
exercise her two skills -- "sewing and sex" -- until the inevitable
happens. <br /><br />Scandal ensues and upends Vivian's life. Vivian returns to her hometown -- repentant and shamed. After the rollicking midpoint, this segment matches the beat of Vivian's life which has virtually come to a standstill. This perhaps is the
slowest part of the book. Thankfully, the narrative gathers pace and Vivian returns to New York. How she rebuilds her life with some help from Peg and a new
set of friends is what the second half of the book is about. Vivian
evolves from being a wild child who is out for a good time to
a more grounded person who has no illusions about her promiscuous ways. <br /><p></p><p>The last segment of the book deals with Vivian finding her true love.
It's poignant but it does feel a bit out of place in the book. It's
almost as if the author feels that Vivian needs to be "rescued" from herself. So, the story of Vivian and Frank unfolds - a love story that is poignant and uplifting and bestows on the unapologetically carnal Vivian a relationship that is sex-less. </p><p>The evocative
writing and Vivian's unique voice saves City of Girls from becoming a 1940's version of Sex in the
City. Though overall, the book keeps you engaged, the singular focus on Vivian's point of view takes away from the narrative. My favourite character of the book? New York, of course. </p><p>Would love to hear your thoughts, if you have read the book. <br /></p><p> <br /></p>Aditehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11367774576365388967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857004313700118578.post-59462512040379640272021-02-14T16:03:00.000+05:302021-02-14T16:03:24.733+05:30'My Favourite Romance Tropes and Valentine's Day' - by Sudesna Ghosh<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzPsVbrdhtqCAXHmD57L32-U9M1oET5shMCs9m-YXbfPrONKtSs1DkIoTHuA4lOXrnTyiuXBhknYBsfW1DEm2-ka5nnMWJ4KjaXYY6P-ME-9Y4T9JOKfmUhFsAseC4wkLNZ6tMdFT3B7k/s960/SueGhosh.jpg" style="clear: left; display: block; float: left; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="768" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzPsVbrdhtqCAXHmD57L32-U9M1oET5shMCs9m-YXbfPrONKtSs1DkIoTHuA4lOXrnTyiuXBhknYBsfW1DEm2-ka5nnMWJ4KjaXYY6P-ME-9Y4T9JOKfmUhFsAseC4wkLNZ6tMdFT3B7k/s320/SueGhosh.jpg" /></a></div><p><i><b> Sudesna Ghosh is a prolific Kolkata based romance author who shares her thoughts on Valentine's Day. Don't forget to check out her new release on Juggernaut, <a href="https://www.juggernaut.in/books/my-first-love2" target="_blank">My First Love</a>... </b></i></p><p>I love reading and writing romance. It wasn’t something that I planned to do when I started my writing career with short stories for children. But then I became friends with so many romance authors that I had no choice – I was talking about writing romance and reading more romance books than ever before because all my friends were writing them. </p><p>While a few people dared to comment that I was too serious and smart to write in the genre, my author friends encouraged me to try something new. I’m so glad I went ahead with it.
No matter how much I tried to brush off Valentine’s Day as a commercial, superficial event, I started writing stories especially for the big day. Even if I didn’t get any Valentine’s Day cards or gifts, I started celebrating the occasion buying nice things for myself and the people I love. Romantic feels are contagious.

It’s a second chance romance where two high school sweethearts get the opportunity to be together again after a long gap. And of course there’s an obstacle because all love stories need one.</p><p>I enjoyed writing this book especially because the Second Chance trope is my favourite one to read and write.
A second chance means you can get closure even if you don’t get back together. A second chance brings hope. </p><p>Hope is important. In a world where we’re bombarded with terrible news every hour, hope is a necessity. That’s why I wrote my first second chance novella <i>A Perfect New York Christmas</i>; because I wanted heartbroken friends to stop feeling hopeless. </p><p>Another trope I enjoy reading and writing is the Fake Lovers one. In my novella<i> The Perfect Fake Boyfriend</i>, Sush and Arjun start out as fake lovers for the sake of a family wedding and then they fall in love for real. </p><p>As a psychology graduate, I’ve always had a keen interest in relationships and it’s a learning experience when you build characters who go from feeling basic attraction or no attraction at all, to true love.
In fact, I know a couple who went from being fake boyfriend and girlfriend to husband and wife later. Maybe spending so much time together and sharing the same space makes people feel comfortable and familiar to each other? Good friends who pretend to be a couple sometimes realise they’d be great as a romantic pair. </p><p>I’ve read a ton of fake lover romances and can say that it’s always fun. Sometimes there’s a lot of soul-searching to figure out that the bond has gone from fake to real. There’s always drama because one person promised the other that things would be fake and nothing else but fake. </p><p>This Valentine’s Day, I’m going to download some romance books and meet my friend for dinner. There will be heart-shaped cookies, good food and conversation. </p><p> Happy Valentine’s Day!</p>Aditehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11367774576365388967noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857004313700118578.post-64240514194348680322021-01-31T22:19:00.000+05:302021-01-31T22:19:07.474+05:30January 2021 - Time for Change and Continuity <p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTLiDcRmUS6wcJuK3YuTCFFuEqurJfKTEtRqOo7ETtrk2qopKi3qwaOHQ2TkA2S6orOjDruRyMT9VTa47xpNVxAm3b_I5Uc33SC63MsGZRcMgK924hyphenhyphenga_iNB7fUiAMgK7WFQ7oCGwtf8/s2048/maddi-bazzocco-waNAJOI7Jz8-unsplash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1432" height="383" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTLiDcRmUS6wcJuK3YuTCFFuEqurJfKTEtRqOo7ETtrk2qopKi3qwaOHQ2TkA2S6orOjDruRyMT9VTa47xpNVxAm3b_I5Uc33SC63MsGZRcMgK924hyphenhyphenga_iNB7fUiAMgK7WFQ7oCGwtf8/w269-h383/maddi-bazzocco-waNAJOI7Jz8-unsplash.jpg" width="269" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span>Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@maddibazzocco?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Maddi Bazzocco</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/s/photos/january?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Unsplash</a></span></span></td></tr></tbody></table>The new year is already a month old. It seems a little odd to talk about 'new year resolutions' when things are still kind of out of whack in the world. The long shadow of 2020 continues to chase us into the new year and one is still a bit wary of hoping that things will ultimately fall into place. After all, you don't wanna put any kind of hex on it, right? <br /></p><p>So, January passed by in a swirl of activity. Some planned, others unplanned. And still others totally unexpected. </p><p>On the planned front, I took out time to listen to the three-part <b><a href="https://mckeestory.com/register/registration/" target="_blank">Robert McKee webinar series</a></b> on longform TV writing. McKee's insights into the growth of binge-TV and their evolution from the soaps and serials of yore are incisive. It's a masterclass for anyone who is interested in writing - and has many lessons for all fiction writers including novelists. <br /></p><p>My own writing has been going slow for the past couple of months; so I have spent whatever spare time I have had, after doing the endless household chores - thank you, Pandemic! 😏- to catch up on my reading. I have decided to go beyond my usual reading preferences. In fact, I have done what I have always meant to but not quite gotten around to doing: hone my Bengali reading skills. So when I finished reading a full-fledged novella in Bangla, it was indeed a wonderful feeling. Did I have to wait for decades to actually get down to it? Perhaps not. Should I be thanking the Pandemic for it? Umm, well, I shall let that pass! 😁</p><p>January however had one more surprise for me. Unexpectedly, one of my cousins asked me if I would be interested in joining a group that had been set up on Whatsapp to connect with relatives on my father's side. While my father had always had nostalgic memories about his native village Garalgacha, in West Bengal's Hooghly district where the undivided Mukerji clan had lived and prospered a couple of generations ago, with time the family ties had withered. Now suddenly, thanks to social media, I was being presented with an opportunity to connect with many of my cousins, uncles, aunts and their children, who are spread all across India and the globe! Oh well, I still have to figure out who's who in a group that comprises of 40+ members. It could well lead to a new project for me: build a Family Tree of the Mukerji's of Garalgacha! <br /></p><p>Now that's a new twist to the Pandemic story, right? </p><p>Can't wait to see what's in store for me in February 2021. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Aditehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11367774576365388967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857004313700118578.post-90022064092815005022021-01-23T17:51:00.007+05:302021-01-23T20:05:06.075+05:30Short, Long, Longer - @AuthorReet decodes the length of fictional pieces<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i></i></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLt44QVEqqW7_4fXFLmuJ3rdG3U99ATAeicSWnVz82RjUVOhYt-gY-rniWHno3P843LbmMuFX6LwZToDzbJ_3YIBHCjrfBGXnun94gv5hyKLQkfH8b2RQAC3bsJy2lZydbHHephi7RyG4/s1202/Reet-Singh.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1202" data-original-width="954" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLt44QVEqqW7_4fXFLmuJ3rdG3U99ATAeicSWnVz82RjUVOhYt-gY-rniWHno3P843LbmMuFX6LwZToDzbJ_3YIBHCjrfBGXnun94gv5hyKLQkfH8b2RQAC3bsJy2lZydbHHephi7RyG4/w225-h284/Reet-Singh.jpg" width="225" /></a></i></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><span style="font-family: verdana;">It's the first month of a spanking new year and what better way to welcome it than have the very lovely author Reet Singh talk about her reading and writing preferences.

The real reason for my choice is not complicated to understand - it's because I am keen to move on to the next author and the next book so that I can sample a wider variety of fiction than if I were to read one long novel. As they say, there're so many authors and so little time.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 135%; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;">When it comes to writing fiction, however, I find that even if I plan out a short story, it tends to grow and grow, threatening to expand until it becomes at least a novella, if not a novel. Is the difference only in the word count?</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 135%; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;"> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 135%; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "Liberation Serif";"></span></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 135%; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQdtCTpbmJ34gMpcmbUPjJEAztYGWIlYcszJPZNRHjQ2eXPr8Jq3X2JWrP-m1Q0SjjoQY8mmohWSm5vBgOWHvXU7rq24lQIdqVW7CkVY_k2c3hVFPSNYOh-fus3oW1L4iQRZ4Tp3lhHII/s2048/Reet-Singh-1.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1285" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQdtCTpbmJ34gMpcmbUPjJEAztYGWIlYcszJPZNRHjQ2eXPr8Jq3X2JWrP-m1Q0SjjoQY8mmohWSm5vBgOWHvXU7rq24lQIdqVW7CkVY_k2c3hVFPSNYOh-fus3oW1L4iQRZ4Tp3lhHII/w286-h456/Reet-Singh-1.jpg" width="286" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Actually, no. Sure, a short story is usually less than 7-8 thousand words, while a novella runs between 20 to 50 thousand, and a novel is a whopping 50 to 80 thousand words, if not longer, but the word count is not etched in stone. In any case, it is a bit more than just about the count. It depends on what your goal is.</span></span><p></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 135%; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;"> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 135%; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;">For example, if you have an idea that needs to be developed well enough to sound plausible, or a plot that is complex and needs space and time to achieve resolution, or if your characters need to change and grow, or relationships need to be established and remodeled, then you’ll need a larger word count to accommodate all or some of that. If, on the other hand, you’re planning on writing about an event that impacts a single character over a shortish time-frame, you could easily consider covering it all from start to finish in a shorter piece. </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 135%; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;"> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 135%; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;">Further, if you have multiple characters, and you think each merits more than just a passing reference, or you’re writing a story within a story, or have multiple scenes, or have a whole world to display, or a broad time span to cover with respect to the events that take place in your story, then a longer work of fiction is required. A short story on the other hand is meant to be intense, to deliver a punch - this takes great literary skill but it can be done using fewer words.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 135%; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;"> </span></span></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 135%; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;">In conclusion, the final length of your work of fiction depends on how many words it takes to tell an honest, strong, compelling, unique and complete story.</span></span></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 114%; margin-bottom: 7pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoBodyText" style="line-height: 135%; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;">Although I personally prefer to read shorter works, I haven’t written that many short stories myself.

It is ideal for a short story since it revolves around a single character, Kavya, and the reader sees everything that’s going on through how Kavya interprets and reports events. There is one main conflict that Kavya blames on the supporting characters – her husband at first, but later, even her daughter - who have not much of a role beyond the conflict they generate in Kavya’s mind. I found that 5000 words gave me sufficient space (even though the story spans 12 years) to showcase the struggle and draw the conflict to </span><span style="color: black; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;">the</span><span style="color: black; font-variant: normal; text-transform: none;"> final resolution/denouement.
