Pankaj Kapoor Birthday Special: IWMBuzz pays tribute to actor’s seamless brilliance
Pankaj Kapoor, one of the great living actors of Indian cinema,had displayed a vivid comic streak in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Raam Jaane. In the film Pankaj was named Pannu Technicolour. This is not surprising if we consider Shah Rukh was called Raam Jaane. However Pankaj Kapoor’s finest performance was in Tapan Sinha’s Ek Doctor Ki Maat. It featured him as a brilliant real-life doctor struggling against red-tapism and cynicism is contained in a dreadfully boring film. It takes herculean skills to make such an interesting story so dull and lifeless. But | Click Here...
Review Of Jersey: New Jersey As Moving As The Original
Jersey Starring Shahid Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur, Pankaj Kapoor, Ronit Kamra Written & Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri Rating: **** Jersey is a film that was waiting to have its say.

Unlike, say,Jhund which approached the sports arena with a distracting detachment, Jersey is not afraid to flirt with broad emotions. It plunges into its protagonist’s life with a fervent gusto,sparing us | Click Here...
Birthday Special: Finest Works Of Pankaj Kapoor
My favourite film critic Roger Ebert wrote this about one of American cinema’s luminaries: “The Japanese name some of their artists Living Treasures. Sidney Lumet is one of ours. He has made more great pictures than most directors have made pictures, and found time to make some clunkers on the side.” Pankaj Kapoor too has made many mistakes, like Raam Jaane and Matru Ke Bijli Ka Mandola(no relation to Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety). And his stab at direction in Mausam was an unmitigated creative and commercial disaster.But when Pankaj is brilliant he is incomparable. Try fo | Click Here...
Sweet notes: Kamal Haasan sings for Pankaj Kapoor
Kamal Haasan has gone and sung a song for the incredibly accomplished composing maestro Ilaiyaraja...and that too at just half an hours’ notice after the singer assigned the job of singing the intricate composition couldn’t raise to the occasion. “Get me Kamal on the phone,” Ilaiyaraja commanded his assistant. Within an hour Kamal Haasan reached the recording studio in Chennai and in half an hour the ‘ditty’ deed was done. The song was for the Pankaj Kapoor starrer Happi which is a tribute to Charlie Chaplin. And Kamal Haasan is a diehard Chaplin fan. The Tamil geni | Click Here...
