Back with a bang!!

I am back to the pleasures of writing.....it's been a long time since I made my presence felt on this blog and I thought this blog deserves a little more time and commitment from my side. As a throwback upon this realization, I plan to start a new series of posts on this blog called "Cinematic Masters". A movie review is purely a matter of 'perspective'. Many a films that were critical disasters at the time of their release have turned to be celebrated classics years later. Reasons for this kind of anomaly are not beyond comprehension. Some movies grow on you - the more you think of it, the more you seem to like it, some movies present a different view with each viewing while some movies confront the ugliness that we were oblivious to and make us feel uncomfortable. Hence "Cinematic Masters" will present my 'perspective' on a variety of films irrespective of their commercial fate - films that have a "cult following", underrated gems of mainstream directors, experimental films that showed what it means to push the envelope and of course, some "classics" that have withstood the onslaught of technology and passage of time. I am neither a cinematic expert nor a 'film festival' regular but as an avid viewer, I have a good understanding of what has worked for me and what has not. So "Cinematic Masters" is not about dissecting the technicalities of a particular film but it is purely a viewer's take on the impact and enjoyability of the film. I hope you will enjoy reading my "perspectives" as much as I have enjoyed reading others "perspectives" of these films over the years.
