About Olanthagee Wangmadasu

I have always thought that Aribam Syam Sharma makes film based on the neo-realism but when I watch Olangthagee Wangmadasu I saw another side of Aribam Syam Sharma


I swear to myself on how I have been so naive about Aribam Syam Sharma that I donot know that he has also made a musical in his journey of film making, being a ardent fan of Aribam Syam Sharma I should have known that but I didnt! 

Should I blame the man himself or the Film Society in Manipur that they don't screen such movie to the people or myself that I have never went out and do a bit research on him which I should be doing but I didnt, hoping that somehow I will come to know that. Here is my heartfelt sorry to the legend. 

I watched the film along with my mom and I love how she narrated some interesting things during the screening of the film which then encouraged me to write about the film, Olangthagee Wangmadasu, another amazing screenplay by MK Binodini who also penned Imagi Ningthem and Eshanou, indeed a masterpiece which has been neglected by the every section of the people. 

The film starts with the then "Poster Boy" K. Tomba (my mom tell me how people used to gather around his locality to get a glimpse of him) on stage humming to one of the perfect piece by Aheibam Shyam Sharma. 

The first thought that came to my mind was - Did Aribam Syam Sharma venture into 'total Bombay Cinema style' but as I proceeded I felt relieved that the film was 'total musical' based on the musician and singer which ends in some unexpected way a 'total Aribam Syam Sharma' signature. 

I don't believe in writing all about the film i.e. story, plot and telling everything�s etc, so I won't be writing about the story line but will be talking about style of film making and editing point of view. 

I have always loved the way Aribam Syam Sharma starts his films, the kind of motif he used in films is very good, those people who have seen Imagi Ningthem can relate to the love-making scene in the film. 

The motorcade shot he had done while filming the song in scooter is perfect - maybe we can say that it is one of the first track shot in Manipuri cinema, and the emotion he had captured between Tomba and Roma is so exotic I somehow wondered whether they were acting or not. 

Above all, the film is one of the good film I had seen last week. I can also point out some 'wrong side' of the film but I prefer not to say as I need to see the full film in good condition. 

And to those people who resides around Pune and Mumbai, let us watch it all together in NFAI by paying Rs. 1500 maximum for hiring. Hope that people will come forward for it. 

And lastly, to the Film Industry people in Manipur, please do something about the Classic films, other then pouring lakh of money into some Film Festival in Manipur. Let us make Manipuri film a better one for everyone around the world.

Just when I was hoping to die

I was in super mood to die so I climb our building top floor
and when I was about to climb up the railing of the balcony
A bright flash
it was fate and he says
"noooooo you cant die now" (sound effect)
(silence) I'm lookin at the fate
he look at me
he glimpse
and then he whip his sweat
and told
"you have to save the world"
my eyes start to glitter
he smirks and say "we dnt have people like you"
and then I say, "Go to hell ass"
"there are many peopel to save the world"
then I climb up the railing
then (phone rings)
I was hesitating to answer
(phone ringing)
i thought I shld answer for the last time
(click) hello
from other end
"sir our company is giving you platinum card for lifetime"
I paused for a while...
"hello hello" from the other side
I climb down from the railing then said
ok tell me about it

~the end~

Please let me think

There are many discussion, argument and killed each other kind about the meitei-others relationship. Many people have different take about it and I myself also have different take on it but one tweets make me think that what rights do I have to tell the others person is racist or hypocrite just because he or she have different point of view. In this world there is reason about everything and it’s time that I should start thinking why other people think that way but the reason might go against my taste, the way my mind operates or &c &c. but as being I should respect other people thought which doesn’t have violence thought and when I talk about respecting thought people might raise me question that we are in 21st century and developed etc etc…yes I know we are in 21st century and that the reason why I want to respect other people thought or else what will be the difference between dictatorship and me if I want other people to think what I think or believe in what I believe. My only concern is that let me be free from all these argument. I want to think peacefully and let other do the same

Let the wind blow

I came from a place where most infact all of the people think film is all about celluloid and the argument has been going on since ages even at the time when I start working with film the director which I assist always talk about Celluloid film but that is the thought I have never agreed as I believe that film as art form should not have format biased, film are films no matter what is the format and there are many film which had break the theory of film biasness.

Today I watch a film which was funded by other countries and appreciated by other countries and I was thrilled by how director of the film, "Hawa Ane Dey (End title: Let the wind blow) simple tell the story which was shot entirely on Sony Digital Betacam. I'm swayed by the edit, compositing and the story line. The however has some shot which was repeatedly use but it is a minor flaw which can be negate if we compare the whole film. The film talk about Bombay street now Mumbai, the dance bar, the kind of language which is used by the local which reflect the reality of Bombay. The film look real not processed even though it has been.
I would suggest everyone to see the film and decide. The film is real gem and hats off to nishikant kamat who plays the role of Chabia.

For my DAD

"All the these line across my face tell you the story who I am
So many stories of where I have been but this story don't mean
anything if I got no one to tell it true"


Been some days that I have decided to quit my job and chase my dream however I'm living some part of dream but my main purpose was drifting away from what it was to be. It's hard decision to quit as I know my folks has huge monetary constraint which also make me think that whether I'm a failed child of theirs?? They have always support in whatever I do even my hard time when I was lost after my graduation in which I want to start my career in film and people(read relative) were against me, during the time everybody was against my act even one whom I have loved dearly as I could not decide what to do I shave off my hair and dad which is very soft as compare to my mom went to the biggest director of my place through a friend of his and beg him to make me his assistants and after that I drop my Master degree and started my film career. I would say I was doing good and Dad ask me to go for some school so as to upgrade my knowledge and I went to FTII for some month course. I'm not talking about mom much because she never spoke about my career as she believe I should be one responsible getting what I want to do however it is strange that my relation with dad is not as open as my mom but he is the one who have done everything for me and mom. Once he cried when we came to know Mom was diagnose with carcinoma but he dint show it to me he wipe his tears off. I trembled but I dint because if I cried Dad will become weak cry but inside I was crying my heart out. Many time dad had cried he cried when my friend came over to my place in their own vehicle, he cried when I wear only one pairs of pants and some t-shirt and dad is still crying yet he manage to smile, I never called dad because all this things make me cry and I was also one of the reason I feel guilty toward my dad. I have hurt him many time still he support me and now I'm going to hurt him again and he is supporting again yet he manage to smile.

Am I a bad son?

Dad I love you. I never tell you that. Once when you send me a sms saying "Nanao, I love you", I was so happy that I cried that night. Sorry for whatever I done to you and going to do it to you again. I have decided to come back and I know you don't want me to because you feel that I'm be embarrassed in front of my friend because we don't even have our own home. I know that you don't want me to face the humiliations that you have faced. Dad I need you now. I want to be with you under your shadow. This is for you Dad,
I LOVE YOU
