Check out this interview of Ram Gopal Varma by Bharadwaj Rangan. I have nothing against B-Rangan and his views on cinema, except that he goes overboard at times. (Yes, I should avoid repeating 'stock' phrases)
"But then he's got cinematic sense," a journalist friend told me recently. Fine, but then again, am I to understand that if Raja Sen or any other reviewer/film critic/writer overdoes it in a film review, he or she is faffing, simply showing a flair for doggerel, while B-Rangan can go on and on about anything related to cinema and leave readers enchanted?
PS: I like reading Raja Sen's reviews. They make me laugh. Wasn't it Alfred Hitchcock who said, "It's only a movie."
