Noted bengali writer and social activist Mahasweta Devi was at Prithvi Theatre on Monday evening. A documentray film on her was screened ( very boringly done. but her quotes were priceless) followed by Q&A with the author.  Unlike many she was completely candid, spoke about her writing, her two marriages, kids and even her two suicide attempts.

And with a razor-sharp tongue, she dismissed everyone who tried to be cool or intelluctual. A guy framed a long question mixing religion, politics, beliefs, ideology and eveything possible. She looked at him and asked “But, whats the question? ” Nobody could control their laughter.

And those of you who missed it, here is the tip of the day, the quote which wrapped up her thoughts…. 

Right to dream should be the first fundamental right of every human being in any country.

Aha….couldnt agree more.

Raja Rediff Sen, the film critic with Rediff has written the dialogues for the film 99. The film stars Kunal Khemu, Cyrus Broacha and Soha Ali. The promo and the first song of the film looks good. Have a look….

And now that Raja will be on the other side of the fence will he review his own films ? Or will he ask favours from his critic friends. Hope we dont have one more Khalid Mohammed.

He is writer, director, producer and is now contesting elections. Have always been known for his social-political films. When it comes to dierction, he is a control freak on the sets. We knew that. But he belongs to the club of writer-killers, we had no clue. We got the dope recently.

After all those social tamashas, how about paying the writer ? Naah. Its all drama. Count him in the writer-killers club. Yes, we will try to put out the names of all those producer/director who dont pay their cast/crew. Its best to avoid them.

Google and its easy to figure out that he has assets work 55 crore! Yes, 55 fucking crore! And nothing for the writer sir ? 

Looks like he followed Laloo-Paswan. Started honestly but went kaput! With him, write at your own risk!

And if you know of any more writer-killers, do let us know. We will make sure that they hit the headlines here. We are at moifightclub@gmail.com.

Here is a small  note from a friend who has been trying to get a break as a film writer since last 2 years. Frustrated, he has now taken up AD job and is trying to pitch in with his script whenever he manages. Forget Syd Field, listen to someone who is on the field, facing it all….

Unless and until you are Abbas Tyrewala, its tough luck here. Because every director wants a good writer.

And good writer means one who can type fast. Because every director just wants a typist who cant type exactly what the director wants. But what the director wants, he/she also doesn’t know.

And if you type something that the director can’t think of, then you have more trouble. How can you think better than him/her ?

Better to write your own script and then look out for director/producers. Thats what i have realised in the last one year.
