Phillmy is a Hindi word that actually means something like ‘of or pertaining to movies’. Actually what it means to most people is ‘the things that can actually happen only on the movie screen.’ See, that’s how Hindi movies are made (mainstream at-least) and not just Hindi movies. All Indian movies to a large extent are made like that. Things that will happen only in the wildest of your dreams and never in reality. I am not saying it’s wrong. It’s infact the inspiration behind my Blog name. (As one of my friend responds to my criticism of bad movies - “All movies are not made with the intention of imparting knowledge or getting a message across. Some are meant for entertainment, where the improbable happens and you feel good about it, away from your real life miseries and problems” )
So, what’s the purpose behind this blog ? It’s just another Wordpress Blog isn’t it ? Well yes and no. For one, there is no real purpose behind this blog. It’s just a medium for me to write. And in this case about movies in particular. The thing is I watch a lot of movies and I have something to say on every movie I watch. Well you can any-day find better researched comments and beautifully written reviews on more popular sites. But as I said, this is for me. This is the place where I write about the movies I watch. People are welcome to comment and let me know of your opinions though.
