So, Pahlaj Nihalani’s heroic efforts went in vain and Udta Punjab did not go the way of Paanch or Libaas. That surely is good news. Not that I am too optimistic about the society but at least for once, the uncouth moral brigade had to bite the dust. But what about the film itself? Was […]

Although I have never permanently lived in Punjab, as a Punjabi I have always had a keen interest in the state and its volatile politics. I was born after the darkest phase of Khalistani insurgency, but I always wanted to explore it a bit more. That is why I walked into Chauthi Koot (The Fourth […]

I am in a slightly confused state right now. I just watched Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, the latest in the long line of American superhero movies. Now, I do not think it was a great movie. For that matter, Zack Snyder has never been a great director in comparison to, say, a Nolan. […]

Relationships are difficult to maintain. Especially in this era, most people have gotten used to frivolous and short term dalliances rather than life long relationships. But then, what exactly does one achieve through such a relationship? What happens when after decades of a steady relationship, we find out that it was not as ideal as […]

There was a time when a film like Fire (1996) just could not get released. Then there came a period when people like Karan Johar had to insert a series of running gay jokes in Kal Ho Na Ho (2003). One cannot blame him for that because that was the only way he could even […]

Kanoon is a very rare film considering its very nature. It is so rare that it’s very existence is a reason to celebrate for the Bollywood buffs. It is not only a songless film, which are rare in Bollywood even now, but also a taut courtroom thriller, again a genre nearly tried out even now. […]

There was a time when Manoj Bajpayee was the next big thing. He was not the leading man in Satya but he became synonymous with Satya instead of JD Chakravarthy who played the titular role in the film. This was a real acting star, someone who could take on the biggest and privileged dynasts of […]
![spotlight[1]](https://blog.enakshisharma.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/spotlight1-730x410.jpg)
As I started watching Spotlight, I could not help but think of India and its current state of journalism. It is a real story and a pretty recent one at that. So, more I watched it, more frustrated I felt at the situation back home. Anyways, let us first get back to the basics of […]

There are films, there are epics and then there is The Revenant! This sheer grandiloquence of this film is not merely about the size of the production but also about the sheer effort and exertion of everyone involved. It is the willingness of the cast and crew to reach the edge of their physical and […]

Yes, I am aware of all the positive accolades being garnered by Lenny Abrahamson’s Room. I will not be surprised if it also wins a few Oscars next month. But having said that I have to confess that the film left me really cold. Call me a philistine but no, I could not just engage […]
