Participants will have seven days to issue their votes. Therefore, this match will end on Monday August 24th at 9:00 pm (GMT -5, Bogotá, Lima *If you are not sure about time please check my local time going to my profile information

After the voting period is over, the votes will be counted and the results published.

Each user can vote on any match as long as s/he has watched both films paired against each other. Please cast your vote using the titles of both films in the following manner:


YAADON KI BAARAT – 1 or 0
LINDA LINDA LINDA – 0 or 1


And kindly BOLD your selection, if possible.

Managers are not allowed to vote on matches their own directors participate in, so WBA — manager for Yaadon Ki Baarat and Eliecer– manager for Linda Linda Linda , cannot vote in this match.

REMEMBER: This is a single-elimination round, so only winners will pass to next round.
In case of ties the winners would be defined by previous history of "total votes" (votes-for minus votes-against), so we will always have into account the number of votes from previous rounds.

If you have yet to see either film and still don’t have access to them, please send me a pm so I can assist you locating the the films to view.

VOTERS ARE REQUESTED TO POST THEIR THOUGHTS ON THE COMPETING FILMS ALONG WITH THEIR VOTE. THANK YOU.

Not crazy about Linda Linda Linda, but it was somehow cute and innocent experience to me vs horrible Bollywood mishmash of dated gags and irritating tunes. I'll stick to Ray and Rohit's suggestions, thanks.

I can't believe it! :cheer:

Seriously!

Nope, still can't. :D


Thanks rischka, I'm also glad I could shove in just one more film and am also very glad that the "good vibrations" resonated with you. <heart>
Can't wish for more, and my other films are depressing anyway, so this is a wonderful conclusion.
Gonna lean back and watch the Linda-train advance now. :toast:

To please the majority is the requirement of the Planet Cinema. As far as I'm concerned, I don't make a concession to viewers, these victims of life, who think that a film is made only for their enjoyment, and who know nothing about their own existence.

Both charming musical films, but whereas Linda Linda Linda was delicate and coy (and Bae Doona ridiculously cute), Yaadon Ki Baaraat was ridiculously fun, exploding off the screen with energy and flair. My expectations were fairly low at the start (as were the filmmaking standards), but it soon snowballed into a heady, joyous pleasure. So basically, what rischka said.

I also liked how Zeenat Aman resembled both Kendall and Kylie Jenner but had more personality than either of them.

Voting in this match is so difficult.

Linda Linda Linda is the kind of film I would like to make, with all the slow pace, characters and rain that you can find when working on any project. A film that puts teenage love in exile and instead focuses on four characters struggling and rehearsing to exist and have a presence in a micro-universe. Today is the question on the search of representation through a rock band; tomorrow maybe the question on some organised political thinking through a particular event.

Yaadon Ki Baarat is pure fun and a great example of a twist-after-twist unstoppable film, delightful and rich in surprises. There is a moment in which you don't get a single break and all the chain of possible events takes place as if it were part a bizarre dream with an extravagant use of ellipsis as well as an immediate and absurd cause-consequence logic when taken to the extreme.
The cartoony treatment is present consistently throughout the whole film and this is why, when characters have physical scenes (dancing, singing, reacting, flirting, fighting, running away), they assume a surreal cathartic state that takes us to another dimension: A hardly-codified genre dimension. This was made with the same spirit from films such as Phantomas, Judex, Danger: Diabolik, (and similar others); all of these, works that try to comprise adventure serials, comics, pulp stories into popular literature and film genres creating a pastiche of both as "the total experience". Very accurate for a Genre Cup.

I will talk breathlessly about Spanish and Portuguese cinema, João César Monteiro, Ritwik Ghatak, and Jacques Rivette, and hardly ever about anything else.

Not bad! This was closer than I ever thought it could be. Thanks for all the fun, and I hope to maybe manage another team in another cup in the future. Congrats to Eliecer for advancing. :toast:
