Love of Cinema

Hi everyone, thanks for listening. Drop a line or two about the episode!

In conversation with Navdeep Singh on Manorama Six Feet Under, NH10, and Laal Kaptaan
Navdeep shared interesting stories and anecdotes about the making and casting of Manorama. We discussed the hat tips to Chinatown (1974), David Lynch, Antonioni and Brazil (1985). And yes, we did talk about the cab with pink curtains!
Did you know that before Abhay Deol got attached to the project, Navdeep wanted to make the movie with Irrfan?
We also talked about filming the violence in NH10, using violence as a storytelling tool, and casting Deepti Naval as Ammaji.
Also, I asked him about making Laal Kaptaan as a Western, the visual palette of the film, the beautiful low-angle shots (inspired by Sergio Leone), and how hard it was to sell the film as a Western to the producers.
Finally, Navdeep had some interesting advice for young filmmakers.
