The first film review of Farhan Akhtar’s Dil Chahta Hai (DCH, 2001) came from Mani Ratnam, its cinematographer Ravi K Chandran told me once. Ravi was at Chennai’s Prasad Labs, colour-grading DCH. That’s how Mani saw the film; called and told Farhan not to change a frame! What’s colour-grading, exactly, I thought, when I heard this. It’s the enhancement of colours, starting with primaries (red, green blue), so the frames look more like film than life itself. The latter is what audiences wish to escape from, anyway! Also, it’s the final process, executed by the colorist, approved by the cinematographer, before the film reaches your eyes. The ears part gets taken care of with the ‘audio mix’, merging background and foreground sounds of a film. Which, for Aditya Chopra’s Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), was done at Prasad Labs, its general manager Jayalakshmi Vasant tells me, when I’m in front of India’s first 70 mm screen, where it happened. She takes me around a nine-acre campus in the lungs of Chennai’s film industry aka Kollywood (from Kodambakkam neighbourhood). Frankly, I’m doing the opposite of what a film buff should — going from a classified door into another, navigating a maze. While it’s amaze, it takes the magic off the movies. Let me explain how?

That’s not me receiving an award—god knows when was the last time that happened—but equally privileged/honoured to be presenting the Best Cinematographer prize to the great Ravi K Chandran; indeed, the living legend of the light & lens, right from Viraasat, Dil Chahta Hai, Yuva, down to The Thug Life! Couldn’t have been gladder, once I opened the envelope to announce :) Thanks for having me, Cinematography Art magazine, & Naresh Sharma!
