The Baptist and Moses was he,
Michaelangelo and El Cid too, see,
But for sure, down the ages,
In film history's pages,
As Ben Hur, remembered he'll be!

The greatest - of that I've no doubt!

That this Bengali director has flair
Was noticed at the Cannes film affair
As his film was being viewed,
The poor chap came unglued
Then he tumbled and fell off his chair!
Read all about Bengali filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh's Cannes embarrassment, here
Like brave Inkspot, he too had fame,
His sleuthing skills met wide acclaim.

Snowy dog are all set
To be Hollywood stars - guess his name?
For the correct answer, check here.
Ingredients, the film had it all
So with high hopes I went to the hall.
But the film left me numb,
As if I had cut my thumb,
And then I caught this writing on the wall!
Revital tablets for viewing Eklavya? Goodness! what will these guys come up with next?
Hellish, the lives that they led
Women whose husbands were dead
Draped all in white
With no hope in sight
Their's was a tale left unsaid.
Then one day a lady did choose
To put on film these widows' blues
Work she began
On 'Water' per plan
The news spread and all hell broke loose
How dare she expose our muck?
Said the moral police - soon they struck
They disrupted shoot
Gave Deepa the boot
But they underestimated her pluck.
For she simply refused to derail
And went on to complete her tale
An Oscar nomination
Has earned her ovation
And the moral police? They've turned tail!
'Water' to make a splash in theatres across India
I sincerely feel that hereafter
Priyadarshan shouldn't attempt laughter
For his recent flick
A supposed slapstick
Was obnoxious - it couldn't get dafter!
A Potter fan sounded quite wary:
"What is her plans for poor Harry?
The name 'Deathly Hallows,'
Is reminding me of gallows
Now wouldn't you agree that its scary?"
