People used to ask me how many children do you have ? I used to answer them back NO, I don't have. I was fed up giving that answer last 11 yrs.
Now today, the pain is released. I got the author's copies. I want to tell them , this is my baby , my most loving child, my 5-6yrs hard work -Face to Face - The Cinema of Adoor Gopalakrishnan. There are many who helped me immensely during the course of my writing. Here I want to thank French Film critic Jean Michel Frodon for writing the preface of my book, Rani Day Burra for her guidance in writing the book, Indian actress Nandita Das for sharing her experience with Adoor G, and Derek Malcolm for telling me his perspective on Adoor , Anil Zankar sir for his comment on Adoor' s thematic dynamic. Pk Nair Saab for giving me valuable advice. , Jahnu Barua sir for his suggestion, Shaji A Karon for his interview. London based film critic Lalit Mohan Joshi for arranging some books and journals for me. Arti ma'am of NFAI for giving me valuable research documents on Adoor. KA Beena for arranging some films for me and my friend Jayadeva Rentala for his encouragement.....I am thankful to Film critic Manoj Barpujari and to all who directly or indirectly help me..
