Settled down alone in evening kindness to watch 11 minutes of Tanndav on youtube. Sat, did not stand. Please note. But when Manoj Bajpai, the Mumbai havildar, jigs, stood up, jigged; not as brilliantly or as vigorously but at 70 impressed self; arthritic legs did not like the idea; sofaed and watched again Bajpai jig. Readers, if any, am jigging while blogging. 11 minutes of a delightful enough. Loudness and crudeness of a Ganapati immersion, bombs him; violates him, standing alone in the crowd, on havildar duty; Bajpai face goes hard, eyes flirt, shows in Bajpai face; me sympathises his taking a hafta for bribing a top school to get his daughter out of a government school; a police havildar is about as good as a journalist; both have to and do take orders; one is in uniform, the other is not; a policeman can and should have an ambition of getting a good school for his daughter, not a government school; at least ambition is not reserved for the rich; dreams are not on the reserved list; have seen policemen up and down Link Road; they have a beat like journalists; and what's particularly wrong and right in a torn up society. Bribes are a must in India; nothing happens without bribes.Exists despite denials. Manoj Bajpai does that to you in Tanndav, a 11 minutes film directed by Devashish Makhija. For me 2016 is Manoj Bajpai: Aligarh and Taandav. Manoj Bajpai is an event not an event management happening in the Indian film industry across languages. Aligarh throbs and Manoj Bajpai thrills; everyone cannot be a Prof. Siras; only Bajpai can; how, me do not know. What defines an actor? What goes into Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri and Manoj Bajpai? Maybe friend Kartik Iyer will one day blog on Manoj. He is too busy with Americans. Maybe, Manoj has done all that; he has as a police havildar on Mumbai streets; Mumbai police, at least some policemen, could have, thought of jiving and today can do it as Bajpai has done it applaudingly. Yeah, what happens when a policeman waltzes on the streets, preferably at traffic lights; me will watch and applaud and pay. As me am doing to Manoj Bajpai.

Taandav, a short film
Settled down alone in evening kindness to watch 11 minutes of Tanndav on youtube. Sat, did not stand. Please note.
