what we are reading – EightandHalf
We had read about this film but had no clue that it will look so gorgeous. Produced by Disney Pictures, Once Upon A Warrior is directed by Prakash Kovelamudi and stars Siddharth, Shruti Hassan and Lakshmi Manchau. And it seems finally we have got a desi fantasy film with super special effects. Enough of those cardboard drawings and tacky effects. Click on the play button and check it out.
Its difficult to believe the news. Its difficult to imagine that life can be so cruel and unpredictable. We are still hoping that it turns out to be a really sad joke. But it seems to be true. Manish Acharya, the writer-director-actor of surprise hit Loins Of Punjab Presents passed away today morning. We don’t have the exact details yet but it seems that he fell off while horse riding in Matheran.
Manish was a graduate from NYU’s Tisch School of Arts and also played the role of a shadow puppet (narrator) in Nina Paley’s delicious film Sita Sings the Blues. RIP Manish Acharya.
And dear 2010, can you now fuck off soon! Sourabh Ushan Narang, Pankaj Advani and now Manish Acharya. Its impossible to make sense of this world.
