Independence special: Leader and Oye!


Watched Leader again, now on Maa tv, it is such a kind of movie which has a feel good feeling sans all the masala stuff.
Earlier, couldnt watch some parts of the movie due to a busy work
Overall its a very sensitive film, touching the obvious issues of corruption, cunning politics as well as casteism.
In a way, with it's simpler story and sensibilities, it feels better than Raajneeti!
Raajneeti is too much like an adulterated masala with too much spice added to it. It could have been a much better movie sans Ranbir and Katrina's love story!!

Another movie that has that fresh feeling is "Oye".
Amazing cinematography as well as realistic.
Pixelloid has done a remarkable work as seen in its behind the scenes video for this movie.
The compositing[mixing the virtual shots and the live action shots] is very neat and we can hardly tell which is real and which isnt!
Coming to the sun direct crisis that refuses to leave, we continue to miss UTV Bindass, UTV movies, UTV Action, WB and UTV World Movies.
All that we can do now is hope that sun direct sorts this issue soon enough to avoid further loss of customer confidence.

And another important development has been the frequent powercuts, which took 1 day break on 15th August on the eve of independence day.
This allowed me to render some of the first images of the project inspired by avatar!
Rendered the first 2-3 seconds which shows the logo of Anilmation with the text "An anilmation creation".



With love.. Anil
