Dear Eva,
I think we can have a discussion over Hindi films. Finally they give us bread and butter(Roji Roti )but apart from that what Hindi films give us? Does it give meaningful entertainment? Please think about bigger Picture.
We like Hindi films because its our own language..
Think about these points.
1 What Hindi films offer to International audience? ??
Do Hindi films take cinema language to a new height???
Every day we are getting technically better but what about Content??
2 We started making films from 1912-13. But why did very few films interests European or American audinece?
(Your counter argument might be our sensibilies are different then Western people. But all of us are not humans??
Lot of Hollywood Studios are coming to India to make collaberation but it's only for the market. They will exploit our resources... talents..But they can't generate good script which are within Indian soil.
3 . Young directors .. Vishal Bhardwaj, Ashutosh Govarikar, Anurag kashyap ,
can they compete against Wong Kar Wai (chinese Director) , Ang Lee( Taiwanne) , Majidi ( Iranian) Mahakalaf (Iranian) Lars Von Trier(Dutch) and Spike Lee (American ) , Inaritu ( Mexico)
4 In last five years couple of nice Hindi films came but any films are top notch films like Amerros Perros/ Departed/ Talk to Her/ Hunger?
5. I saw Dev D and Gulal. Dev D lacks the rhythm.. Gulal is full of over acting. They were nice films but didn't leave long lasting impression?
Love Peace Light
Your Sincerly

Ride with a Brother's Bloom
Do you know Rian Johnson?
Have you seen Brick??
Yes you must have... it was Neo Noir film on teenage age children and their deadly plans.
the same director comes up with a very different movie this time... It 's name is Brother's Bloom.
It's about two orphan brothers who become con artist in their adult life. Film starts in Bloom and Steven's childhood. No parent wants to keep these to notorious boys. From early days Steve makes a plan and Bloom implements it. The first seven minutes (before title sequence) works as prologue of the film. Even it works as an independent short film too. From here on we can see director's signature.The way he deals with child actors both in brick this scene is fabolous.
Cut 25 years later. Broom is trying to live an unwritten life .. independent of his brother. Steven convinced him with his freind Bang Bang ( awesomely beautiful Japanese actor-Rinko Kikuchi) to act for the last plan. Then plan starts to win Rachel Weisz property. There are so many U turns in the story so be atentive you might losose many beautiful things if you are not.
Final scene is so dark it reminds me of final scene of Brick when all the characters met in the tunnel. He is fond going zig zag towards the end.
I like most about this film is its superb dolly movements. A bit over used though. When I came out from the theatre I felt I am on dolly track too. It was raining out side. My friend's car came and I jump in. We drove away.
I didn't like its sound track and too much u turns. He could minimise a one or two u turns. It felt like movie is going to finish and then it peaks another note, another turn. It happened twice.
