PIFF... day 1 - 8th Jan

Posted on 9:45 AM No Comments
I was really excited about this whole festival thing, as this being the 1st one i was attending. I was planning to take a weeks leave for it, but u know as a great man alwez says, work comes 1st then comes the rest...
well, nobody says so, its just a cover up, even if i wanted to attend it for a full week, i wouldn't have got that much leave, after all what was i gonna say to my boss, "boss, i want one weeks leave to watch movies"...
wow so lovely, well my boy go fcuk off, watch all the damn movies u wanted to all ur life, next day i wud have been out of work

i wish my boss was on leave that week, that was a better option, bunking office like old times, i still remember we used to bunk lectures to go watch some movies...
once we went to watch a movie called Chhupa Rustam starring Sanjay Kappor (the greatest actor indian film industry ever saw) and Manisha Koirala (in a hot new avatar), one of our friends (called Tommy) is a great fan of the Nepali beauty and the pormos were smokin hot, now that was reason enough for us to go for that movie, and as expected it was a total nightmare, absolutely boring, i wud have preferred a Thermodynamics lecture over this movie any time

anywez, let me come to my original story, so the first day they were showing few good movies, though i cudnt see them all, i planned to go for a 6 pm show Natrang. I really didnt want to miss this, i had heard a lot about this movie, the cast, the music, the acting everything seemed so perfect.

i left the office early at around 5, then went to City Pride, i reached thr at 5.45, but still i missed the show, why???

cos, i still had to collect a pass for my friend, yup the same old one which told me to download his pic from orkut the other day (read earlier post), the sucker was really prepared to make me feel miserable whole week. i thought he was going to come for the show so i had to collect his pass before i go for a movie...

now as u all r well aware, u cant escape the thing called QUEUE, the pretty lady at the counter was ganged up against me, she wanted me to miss this show i guess, every single person except me got the pass and went hurriedly to cinema hall. but finally with gods grace, i got the pass at 6.30

i was in no mood to see the movie now, but still as i had come this far went in the cinema hall and it was a never seen before sight, housefull, jam packed... every single empty space was taken,people were even sitting on stairs. i just stood by the door, but it was a nice experience, in pune u rarely get to see a movie in such an exciting environmnet, come to my home town some day and i'll show u whats called as an experience of watching a movies people shouting, whistling, cursing, passing on funny comments... thats what is called a cinema hall


after standing there for an hour just felt like getting out, came out and then i saw him, the gr8 man himself, sitting on a couch... it was Atul Kulkarni

he was doing something on his laptop, i just went there with a cup of coffee in my hand, and told him that i liked his movie, he was very humble and acknowledged me

i think an hour of Natrang and Atul Kulkarni just made my whole days efforts worth....

PIFF... Prologue

It was the 1st week of Jan and I saw it somewhere, may be on the net or on a street hoarding. In case u r wondering what i saw, its the PIFF add that i am talking about.


PIFF 7-14th Jan
for those of u who are wondering What the FCUK is PIFF, its Pune International Film Festival (8th yr this time).


I alwez wanted to see it from last 2-3 yrs, but dont really know why i never attended it. I love movies, absolutely of any kind, as a movie lover i dont have much expectation from any movie, i m happy if the 2/3 hrs are gone without any boredom, thats it, i m well satisfied with that movie.
(unlike some of my frnds who dint even like 3 Idiots, why? becos there was no real logic in that film. For instance, how can Aamir study under someone else's identity or how can he make a helicopter fly in mere one day or how he sucks a baby out with a vacuum cleaner.... anywez, thats a completely different topic and i think it deserves a different post itselt, read it more about that Here.)


So i was planning to attend it, but then forgot about it meanwhile. Suddenly one day, i was talking to my cousin and he mentioned that he was gonna attend it, and planning to get the passes. Oh sit, i had completely forgotten that i also wanted to be there to kill some time.

Thats it, on 6th eve, i left the office, went to E2 to collect the passes, but the counter was closed. The guard asked me to come next day. So there i was again, on 7th eve, this time a little earlier. Thankfully registration counter was open, but not so thankfully there was a long queue.


QUEUE, we are used to it, we break it, we make it, but its all there. Go for a dinner, go for a bus, go to a public toilet, got to a movie its there, inviting u with open arms, "come, join me my frnd". I think the only place we dont need to be in a queue is when we are entering this world, yup, thats the only place where we are the only one there waiting to come out (of course, if u r a twin or a triplet or whatever then i guess the QUEUE starts right from the birth.


So, there i was, in a queue, waiting for the lady to stamp my pass. Most of the ppl standing in the queue were students, i guess they had nothing else left in their life than to spend their entire week in a film fest. Well, i guess they deserve it. Everyone needs a break from assignments, nerdy professors, exams, practicals and what not.


Now i was halfway through the line and somebody shouted that photograph is a must. Thankfully, i had mine with me, even there was a webcam which wud photograph the applicants.
But that was not the problem, the real problem was, i was there to collect passes for my other 2 frnds as well. I called one of them and he suggested me to ask the PIFF counter lady to find his on ORKUT.


Yeh, like she had nothing else to do than search his profile on orkut and get his pic, like he was Brad Pitt or something, thousands of pics uploaded on net, with over a million fan following, and the PIFF lady one of them. I knew, he was in his best insane forms ever. Ya, he does that once in a while, thats his specialty, comes once a month lasts few days and cycle repeats. The only option left was to collect mine and to come back for 2 other passes the next day.


So now i go to the counter, hand over my id and photo to the lady, and she asks me, r u working sir? Hell yes, lady, what do u expect, do u want me to be a student in Jr. KG?
Well i mean, i look much younger, but thats because i have maintained myself that way, "Roj mai Santoor sabun se nahata hu, isse meri umar ka pata nahi chalta hai"
(by d way, that was a joke...)


So, finally i got my pass. I was all set for 3 days of fun. 3 days, cos, i planned a movie on fri eve and then on sat n sun. I was not sure whether i wud be able to go n see any movies in weekdays.
So i had planned to see 3-4 movies each on sat and sun. But that was just a plan, now how it turned out, u will get to know in my next post. I will also post my reviews of the movies i had seen in the fest.


Aufweiderzehen guys!
