Ajay Singh
@ajaxsingh.bsky.social
Writer/Director from Mumbai. 3 shows (Taj: Divided by Blood, Shaitaan Haveli & I Don’t Watch TV) and 1 book (Too Much Democracy) so far. Tarkovsky, Hawks, Kobayashi, Tarantino. Religion: Japanese Cinema.
If you don’t know already, WEAPONS is a modern horror masterpiece!
Cregger proves that true horror is the mother of all film genres. Ask any director, he will tell you it requires maximum filmmaking skills to get it right. You do not elevate horror. At best you can hope to serve it well. Bravo!

50 years of one of the most iconic films in Indian Film History. A story of two brothers on opposite sides of law that gave the industry its biggest superstar. Amitabh Bachchan. “Angry Young Man” was THE cultural icon of India in the 70s. If you wanna understand mainstream Indian cinema, start here.

The legend of David Lynch will grow even bigger with time. A lot of us did not know how much he meant to us until he left us. He is not even in my top 5 fav directors, yet there is something about his spirit, his work that will outrank, outlast anything/anyone. A true original.

Not David Lynch goddamnit! No, not so soon! The great master.

I have not seen The Brutalist yet, but the sheer passion of Brady Corbet tells me it will be great. And worthy.

Shyam Benegal, the pioneer of Indian New Wave of the late 70s- early 80s is no more. What a legendary body of work he had. Gave us some of our finest actors. RIP sir.

The most out of touch film body in India is the FFI. They have an unparalleled, unenviable record of not selecting films like Lunchbox, RRR and All We Imagine As Light as India’s official entry for Oscar! What they select year after year is mediocrity! They called AWIAL “technically poor”! Idiots!

Location scouting in Rajasthan for a horror comedy. Feels great to be back to the genre. If Shaitaan Haveli was set in the 80s, then this one goes even further back. The 70s- a crazy period in India. Had written this pre-pandemic finally found financing thanks to the current horror comedy wave here.

I wish India had a dedicated horror community like the ones that exist in USA. The genre, for long identified with the cheap mom & pop productions of the Ramsay family, is criminally looked down upon. So much that it can be a risky career move to start with it. Things are slowly changing though..

Shooting is the hardest phase of filmmaking. Most days you are fighting against time. It’s specially gruelling if you are doing an on location historical drama - with horses and heavy costumes. One doesn’t have the luxury of doing Kubrickian number of takes. Yet some days you can’t help it 😊

Kdot’s new album is top drawer stuff. Top 3 alongside To Pimp a Butterfly and good kid…

I think I will use my Bluesky account to give some insights into the filmmaking scene in India. Bollywood is a very interesting place to make a career in films. We don’t really have an almost impenetrable studio system like Hollywood, however we have our own brick wall - the ridiculous star system.

Andrei Tarkosvsky considered himself a failure after having made “just three pathetic films at 40” !! (Source: His diary)

What were the films? Ivan’s Childhood, Andrei Rublev, Solaris 😂 So relax guys, everyone is on their own time with their own definitions of pathetic!

This was the quote that made me a massive fan of @crobertcargill.bsky.social And I had no idea then who he was… remains the most inspiring account on the internet.. blue bird or blue sky.
The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.

My favourite country artist?
Patsy Cline. There is nothing that her voice can’t cure.
