George Thomas points to Passion For Cinema, a blog run by and for cinephiles. Anurag Kashyap, one of India's finest scriptwriters (Satya, Shool, Yuva) is blogging there and documenting the creation of his new film, No Smoking. One hopes he at least gets this film released - Paanch and Black Friday went down without a release.
He has a couple of great posts on the making of Satya - more in this series are expected in the future. 1 2
Satya IMO is one of the best films to come out of the Indian film industry in the past fifteen years, and I do not say this statement lightly.
Anurag's posts point to the enigma that is Ram Gopal Verma, a creative process gone awry and how greatness seems to stem from chaos. Recommended reading if you're interested in Hindi films of any sort.
