What is filmy judge ?
Filmy judge is a result of a couple of decades of film watching by me, Sakaar Puri, and oldest of my friends. One of them in particular, Salil Chowdhary is going to be a major content source for this site. When it comes to visual entertainment, specifically television and films, we get religious about it. As much as we like to watch films, we like to share them and talk about them. There have been situations when we would talk and fight over our reviews for hours. And then on other days we would almost force each other to watch the good stuff; we would only be little far from saying "You are not a complete man if you haven't seen this movie." Our critical dissection of films and videos is never less meticulous than a producer reviewing the first cut. As a result of which I suggested Salil to start a blog few years ago, which he never did. I never did it myself because I wasn't sure if I wanted to start one. Virtual presence never seemed like an ambitious idea. I thought "blogs suck", perhaps even till this date, as I write this. But I am giving it a shot, inspired by^ the thought that Salil will keep this show running.
So, here it is for you my friend, a blog where you can express, with me, your anger on bad films and love for the good ones. Lets rip them!
The plan...
This blog will not only share our* stories but also present our opinions to any wanderer who happens to stumble upon this site. If you are here, you are welcome!
Salil and I have very decisive nature on reviews and are almost arrogant and potentially biased while at it.
So, your conformation with our reviews would be only co-incidental and disagreement only expected. Just a disclaimer.
Talking of disclaimers, there is another- This blog will live until we keep each other motivated. God bless America. (its just a saying, if you know 'God bless us')
*this 'our' extends to our other very close and dedicated filmy friends who might wish to contribute, but of course with the approval of the hardest judges of all time.
^ also because writing blog is a requirement for a course at college. (never mind!)
