Last weekend was chockfull of remarkable TV premieres. There was Sanjay Leela Bhansalis "Black" of course, but there was more. I also happened to watch Anant Mahadevans ready-for-release Hindi film "Staying Alive". And I was completely bowled over by its lucid yet sparse emotionalism as two incompatible men, played brilliantly by director Mahadevan and Sourabh Shukla, struggled for life and breadth in the ICU."Staying Alive" is a film that makes you thankful for the gift of life... and cinema.In comparison, the other films this weekend were so fake! Especially Tanuja Chandras "Film Star" which got a first-time premiere on Sahara on Friday night.I must admit Im very angry with Tanuja. How could the maker of "Dushman", "Sangharsh" and "Sur" flawed but commendable for their originality of vision make such ersatz tripe!
