Is today something special ? Something to do with feeling nostalgic! First, the post on Hum Log @25 and now this one. On his new blog post, Ram Gopal Varma has put up four on location pics from his film Shiva. Take a look. And to quote Ramu, before you check out the pics…

If you promise not to laugh I am posting here some location pictures from “Shiva” which my mother dug up from an old closet.

And now check out his current avtaar. The look, the style, the attitude, the pose, ah..the dude! Gained a lot, and lost some cinema sense in exchange ? The maverick surprises us always, from one extreme to other.

Here is a first look of two new posters of Ram Gopal Varma’s Agyaat.

We really like the first one. Do let us know which one you prefer.

david….we think so! Because not many can claim to die at the pleasure point! We know one person who will surely endorse our view. Ram Gopal Verma. Now why we are talking death and sex on a cinema blog ?

If  you are still not aware, its because actor David Carradine is dead. David, the dude from Kill Bill. The cause of death – sex act gone horribly wrong. His dead body was found in the closet of a luxury hotel room in Bangkok, with a rope tied to his neck and genitals. Gossipmongers suggests  its called auto-erotic asphyxiation, a practice designed to boost sexual pleasure. You can read more about his death here

The actor was in Thailand to shoot a film called Stretch. Blame it  on our sick sense of humour, but why would you stretch yourself so much for sex ? On second thoughts, its fine to do so but not in auto-mode sex!And complete no-no if you happen to be Bangkok where its dirt cheap.

We are the last guys to talk moral issues but we could not stop ourself from wondering why would David do it if he was…

1. In Bangkok. Just shout out and you will get sex.

2. He was 72! Not the right age to expriment.

3. He was married five times! And still nobody with him.

Who would have thought BILL would KILL himself and in such a shocking way! RIP!

ram-gopal-varmaThough numerology sounds a big joke to us but if given a chance, we would like to change RGV’s name. From Ram Gopal Varma to Ram Gimmick Varma. Because the man is always upto some gimmick. And here is the new one.

His last gimmick for Phoonk worked out well, giving him the much needed hit. Though many questions regarding the Phoonk contest were left unanswered. It was the same with Darna Zaroori Hai contest.

This time its about Agyaat. Before he scares you, he is asking you to scare him. Its a contest to promote the film. You can shoot a short film and upload it on Agyaat’s website. If it manages to shock or scare him, you will get a chance to make a horror film for UTV and Ramu.

Its just an announcement so far. We are waiting for the exact details. How, when, where, dates….will post it soon. But knowing his past record, we will trust the “Agyaat” but not RGV!

ram-gopal-varmaThe man knows it all. But you cant win all the games. His recent film Rann is on the politics of newsroom, the battle for eyeballs. And so, we thought that atleast Ramu would understand the way news channels work. They are not run by shitheads as he and his publicity smartasses might be thinking. Why ? Read on.

With the distorted version of Jann Gana Mann as Jana Gana Rann, Ramu and his coterie must have thought that they have cracked the next big idea for the publicity of the film. So even before the song got censor certificate, it was smartly handed over to the news channels to play, expecting the right buzz to happen. And thats how its available all over the net. When the intention is not so cool, the coolest idea also falls flat. Thats exactly what happened. With the IPL and election fever on, nobody bothered much about the jana gana rann song. No play, no eyeball, no buzz.

Next, as expected Censor Board didnt allow the song. Ramu was more than happy with the news. It was moving in the direction as it was planned. Rann’s publicity managers tried to convince the news editors to debate, dicuss and dissect the issue. Blame it on Varun and Rahul baba’s high election drama and fakeiplplayer’s entertaining posts…those were much more interesting. Deadend again.

Next, Ramu approached the court to get the song cleared. And as expected the Supreme Court slammed Ramu for distorting the national song. Here is more.

We always thought this was one dude who would never pretend to be holier-than-thou and try to show us the mirror because he always said that he looks dirty when he watches himself in the mirror. We expected Ramu to be the last man to give us gyaan on the state of the nation and blah blah. But then, for publicity people do strange things.

So What does Mr Amitabh Bachchan thinks about this publicity gimmick ? The man who is always ready to butcher the media. Or he has no clue.

And here goes our love letter to the man whom we love to hate or hate to love…

Dear Ramu,

After your horrible attempts like Sarkar Raj, Contract and Phoonk, we are not sure about others but we will be there.  Because we still think that you are the original inglorious bastard, one who can talk about the love for RIFLE so openly and without any guilt. Only few dare to do so. This is the real you or atleast thats your image. You are not jana gana rann. Dont give us lecture. And please dont pretend. Bollywood is anyway guided by too heavy morals. We dont want one more conscious citizen.

If for nothing else, we will watch Rann for the honest man who tried to fake it with Jann Gana Rann.

Ramu has released new teasers and clips of his forthcoming film Agyaat.The film stars Nisha Kothri alonwith a bunch of other actors.

We sincerly hope that Ramu manages to scare us this time, and without any gimmick. In recent years, Ramu has failed again and again to scare his audience (not counting RGV ki Aag as we guess that was unintentional) and has only one formula to do so…the dhoom-dham-dhadak musical score which not only sounds jarring but make us laugh. Govinda…govinda…govindaaaaa!

( SPOILER ALERT – if gossipmongers are to be believed, the “agyaat” factor is all about a deadly man-eating python! )

Here is the first promo of Ramu’s ( Ram Gopal Varma) new film Rann. The idea looks interesting but we can read controversy all over it. You dont play with national anthem, Mr Ramu!

Rann has Amitabh Bachchan, Sudeep, Ritesh Deshmukh, Gul Panag, Paresh Rawal, Rajat Kapoor, Suchitra Krishnamoorthy and Rajat Kapoor in lead roles.

Insider dope – Rann’s publicists have been calling up the news channels and asking when are they going to play the Rann promo on air. They are just waiting for it to create controversy and the right buzz for the film.

We thought Ramu doesnt need songs. And more so, if its a horror film. But this time he has got one (as of now) for his new film Agyaat..

Ram Gopal Varma (Ramu) has released the first song of Agyaat on his blog. The song is sun sakte tho. Music is by Bapi-Tutul and lyrics by Prashant Pandey. The song tries to capture the mood of the film, but to our ears it doesnt sound anything new or interesting.  The song is released with the video, which Ramu says, is not a promo or a song cut. Just some visuals put togther to go with the song. Have a look.
