While on the topic of ‘Roadside Romeo’, I requested my friends at twoandahalfiyers to share their review of the film with All About Animation. Unlike most typical ‘Bollywood’ reviews, these three young artists/students from NID, one of whom is an animator himself, offer a fresh perspective on the film.
The trio comprising of Rohit, Avinash and Akhila review a different movie every few weeks and their podcasts can be downloaded from their blog twoandahalfiyers.blogspot.com. This is their very first review of an animated film and though their podcasts can get quite lengthy, I highly recommend them.
Their reviews are witty, tongue-in-cheek and well-rounded, covering every aspect- right from the story, the cast (for live-action films) to the direction and the film-making itself.
A preview…
“This week, the Two and a Half Iyers investigate the curious incident of the dogs in the night-time. Jugal Hansraj’s directorial debut is India’s first big-budget-anthrophmorphic-talking-animal-bollywood-extravaganza, Roadside Romeo.”
It is encouraging to see our young artists observe, analyze, express and discuss their views and use the internet to share them with the world. I wish them all the best!
Thanks Akhila, Avinash and Rohit for sharing the podcast with AAA :) and for mentioning AAA on your blog.
