KAUFMAN - "Or cramming in sex, or car chases, or guns. Or characters learning profound life lessons. Or characters growing or characters changing or characters learning to like each other or characters overcoming obstacles to succeed in the end. Y'know ? Movie shit."
Kaufman is sweating like crazy now. Valerie is quiet for a moment - from "Adaptation".
We are all about CINEMA. That movie shit.
NOTHING is sacred.
NOBODY is spared.
Because we talk about films, dammit.
Not your sex life.

Kenny Basumatary’s Local Kung Fu (with English subtitles) released this friday. Some of us had seen the film and quite enjoyed it. Here is a Baradwaj Rangan-ish bullet point movie recco post by Kartik Krishnan.
Dash of Takashi Kitano humor and tribute to oranges-Andaz Apna Apna.
Goon with the funny smile plastered on his face 24X7
The 70 yr old grandfather who wields the stick with Kamal-Hassan-Thevar-Magan-ish dexterity.
The superb tongue-in-cheek Guthka khaane se swasth ko haani pahunchti hai PSA cleverly forced in
Candid out takes end credit sequence
Fried Silkworms, Snail curry, rice pancakes ahhh the food
The overweight Karate goon who sings Raagas
Spirit of the cast and crew and a budget of less than a lakh
Ekta Kapoor spoof
Absolutely naturalistic performances
The Number One U 18 goon – Bonzo !
The energetic action sequences
The girl with Assamese-Malayali roots
The gallis and koochas of Assam
The uncle who asks “You need to take a crap or something?”
The music (Wish the songs were subtitled too) Sample this
The Requiem-waala montage thrown in once or twice
DLFG – Delhi Liberation Front For Gurgaon
The stories told in each and every fight – kaun kispar kaise bhaari padta hai
The irreverence and non seriousness of it all – with the tone set from the the opening statement itself !
The goons shaving & whiling away time when bikes enter in super slow motion!
Even a small time thief fights back in Kung Fu-style
The villain whose caller tune is the sound effect of kicks & punches
No pretentiousness of an art film, No (ok, may be a little) filmy-pana of a commercial film
The vision guts and passion of Kenny Basumatary who has acted, written, directed and edited the film
Do catch the film playing at the limited screens.
