Black Friday

Had a glimspe of "Black Friday" yesterday on Youtube and the word "stupendous" comes to mind.

Without going into the rave reviews, watched in its own raw glory, the movie stuns with its pure and raw power of true artistes (artistes != actors; artistes > actors).

Everybody who is somebody in the world of acting (not in the Bollywood , Shah-Rukh Khanian sense of way) is in this landmark effort .... Kay Kay Menon, Pavan Malhotra, Pratima Kazmi, Pankaj Jha .... and many more who will probably be known forever by their roles that they have played here. One most certainly missed Nirmal Pandey and Raghuvir Yadav. It is only rare that a chance comes along that we can see the actors of their stature get a chance in fertile grounds such as these.

A magnificent movie which will most defintely set the benchmark for any further investigative documentary style dramas that may be made in the future in India.

Hope they release the DVD soon for us poor souls in the US.
