Eclipsed views
Empty roads, locked up in houses, not eating etc etc. I guess these kind of things can only happen in India. What we call our culture and beliefs and values basically stop us from most of the good things in life. I am so glad I am such a rebel.
I had fun trying to play around the eclipse time. I looked in every corner of my house to find some kind of a filter to view the sun but just couldn’t get hold of anything. I have a feeling my mom had hidden them for reasons we all know. Its very paapa paapa to see the eclipse apparently. So I saw most of it on TV and later me an my work mates got out to the streets and tried various shadow based viewings. It was nice, tried clicking some pics too.
Eclipse reminds me of 2 things, one is a poem that I wrote when I was in my 9th grade. A poem about the solar eclipse, and it is because of that I know so much about the eclipse stuff. The second being the shoot of my first fiction short film, we started shooting on the day of the eclipse and in fact got a stopblock capture of the eclipse too. And the movie never got completed, a believer would blame it on the eclipse but I proudly say that it was because of my lack of knowledge of film making. But thanks to this project I learnt so much that I’d never make those mistakes again ever in my life. You can see the infamous eclipse shot here in this video Beginnings and Endings

the strange thing is no matter how much i looked i could not find any info the explicitly says “solar eclipse is bad for health” or “saying solar eclipse is bad is all just a myth” so really there is no proof one way or another.
Hello Pawan,
Hit the blog accidentally.
Why was Manasaare not released outside India ? It was certainly for intelligent ones.
Why don’t you dub it or make it in other languages by same actors and director?
Why do you people look for someone else when you have so much of talent?
Well… we dont have much say if the producer didnt want to do somethings. However the idea of trying to take it to different lang or remaking it is being toyed around with
Hope it works
Thanks for the reply.
This movie is a different . Kannada cinema can once again rejuvenate. With just 2 hrs 10 minutes it was crisp with dialogues and refreshing. I would have taken of 2 songs if in my hand.
The biggest point of movie was at the end you don’t get the pair married but they go together hand in hand.
It’s really a shame that we can’t even have a single show per day in any multiplex of neighbouring states.
Why don’t you venture out with some international banners. I mean really you have great talent .
Let’s say Bend it like beckham and movies like that. Low budget and spot on -something like Kannada/English, but it will set a stage for Kannada Cinema and really I have to say people are really waiting for some really meaningful kannada movies abroad.
