Bollywood Diaries

This is one of those movies that takes you to another dimension. Surrealistic storyline. Ashish Vidyarthi delivers his life's best performance IMHO. Raima, Salim and the guy who plays Assist. Director have acted really really well. All in all a very well directed movie. Lyrics of all the songs are awesome. Sometimes there is comedy in the tragedy, specially with Ashish Vidyarthi's and Salim's character. Worth watching for the story alone. I am sure there are characters like these in real life and everyone will connect with this movie at some level. You will have various emotions for the characters - sometimes you feel annoyed by them, sometimes hate them, other times love them or even feel sad for them. This movie is a must watch. BEST BOLLYWOOD MANTRA - " Om mumbai bollywood staray namah!"

This film is dedicated to all the struggling wanna-be actors who have a deep passion for films. These are ordinary people from all kinds of background, whose only dream is to be given a chance to prove themselves and to make it big in the film industry. Their love for acting makes them invest all their savings, jeopardize their health and even dedicate their last moments alive to the pursuit their dream. Sadly, talent and good looks are not the only requirements to become a famous. In reality, films are a business and the only way to be part of them is to either be an already successful actor or to be born into a family connected to the film industry.

Hats off to Salim Diwan who plays Rohit. He did an excellent job portraying a young lad passionate about film, but with poor acting skills. In the end though, Salim gave a true performance! The end of the film is a wonderful build-up of emotions and the music is beyond perfect.

Bollywood Diaries deserves a 10 stars rating for its honesty in this film tribute to struggling actors trying to make themselves noticed.

Three stories around Bollywood dream ,Story shows how passion or talent alone can not sail through this ocean of struggles and reach the success shore but they have also shown how passion and talent together can always atleast hope to dream again even after failing miserably. A must watch movie.

One such movie need to be made every year in the industry that has become a junk yard rather than being an art place.. At least 10 Directors like Mr Satyam, need to be given a chance to take Indian Cinema forward holding mega phones. Not just action cut copy paste movies but these realistic pieces are worth watching in Theaters every time they get a chance to be released.

Away from the jazzy sets or action packed scenes. "Bollywood Diaries" made its path to in everyone's heart who knows what actually is art is. Only Sad part is the producers might have lost money, believing change in Indian audience.

Mr Satyam " You are no doubt one of those best directors in Indian Cinema"

A well justified title for the movie.

I had to stop the movie in few scenes only to wipe my tears out which i might not have done anytime before. (I have watched around few thousands of movies but never stopped until and unless its a crap)

With only a minimal casting, the way Mr Satyam brought out the feelings out were a magic.

Would wait for more films from you sir.... All the best to the team. And I am happy to be the first Reviewer for your movie on IMDb. I promise to be the first one to write for your upcoming movies as well. You are such an inspiration.

The final scene was just brilliant, with each character and adding the exact amount of essence by music to make you leave the theaters with a feel.

Each and every character have gave their share to make this movie the finest piece of Art that can be saved in a museum for another 100 years....

I am also an struggling actor.. I am agree with all the scenes shown in this movie but I am doubtful that how Daman (Assistant Director role) can take money from imlie in name of portfolio..this is fraud first I thought that director must show him as a fraud in last but director shown him genuine Assistant director... genuine ADs orr casting directors Take money from you in the name of portfolio..
