Gulzar's poetically cinematic Ijaazat (1987) is perhaps Hindi cinema's most mature exploration of divorce and live-in relationships. It's also a film whose dialogue is almost as lyrical as its songs.

Featuring a memorable feature-length waltz between two fine actors, Rekha and Naseeruddin Shah, and a terrific soundtrack by Pancham, Ijaazat is a film that truly showcases Gulzar's poetic sensibilities. A film worth celebrating, time and again. 

We are joined by Pavan Jha, a technology consultant, an avid film buff, archivist and film historian, as we celebrate this lovely film.  He shared numerous interesting insights into the film, touching on the film's characters, songs, dialogue and legacy, adding great context along the way.

Listen in!

One of our absolute greats and arguably the most versatile Hindi filmmaker of all-time, Vijay Anand, left behind a legacy worthy of frequent celebration.

Filmmaker, film instructor and co-founder of the popular film blog, Upperstall — Karan Bali joins us to celebrate Vijay Anand and revisit one of his favorites, Tere Ghar Ke Samne (1963).

We chatted about the legendary director's craft, his gift for filming songs, his innovative approach to storytelling and his tremendous range as a filmmaker.

We then focussed on the breezy romantic comedy, Tere Ghar Ke Samne and talked about its classic songs, its innovative title sequence, our favorite scenes and the subtle, nuanced moments from the film.

Yes, we also touched on how Vijay Anand's approach with set design used in Dil ka bhanwar, might have influenced the popular American sitcom, The Big Bang Theory.

Karan also spoke on Vijay Anand's legacy and how it coincided with the golden decades of Hindi cinema.

Chances are, if you love Hindi cinema, you love Amitabh Bachchan and his films.

Having grown up in the 90s, well past peak Bachchan mania, I've always wondered what it would've been like to have lived through that peak mania.  What must the thrill have been like to have witnessed his stardom at its peak?

To get a better idea, I spoke with a small group of cinephiles and Bachchan fans who were fortunate enough to have watched the actor's 70s and 80s filmography on the big screen.

I was joined by hardcore Bachchan fans, Sandeep Loyalka, M. Tanveer and Sandeep Padhi to share their memories of watching Bachchan on the big screen in the 70s, 80s and early 90s.

Among the stories and memories they shared: Watching Sholay multiple times, bumping into Ramesh Sippy one fine day, camping overnight outside the theatre for tickets, eagerly awaiting the daily newspaper for updates on the actor's health following his accident on the sets of Coolie (1983), and watching Bachchan's films in a small town in Odisha.

Watching Bachchan on big screen, back in the day!
