Yes, I avoided watching Game of Thrones for a long time. As it happens with some highly popular cultural phenomena, I got tired of the excessive hype around it. Everyone else was talking about it and I felt like a social pariah for not being able to weigh in. This made me detest it even […]
So I watched Pink as everybody was going gaga over it. I was curious. Was it really a pathbreaking film? Or was it another of those films praised to the skies by the media due to sheer dearth of decent films in Bollywood? Shoojit Sircar & co do have a decent track record. Those films […]
Yes, Leo finally won! But that was probably the most expected thing of the 88th Academy Awards night and I have absolutely nothing more to add to this topic! However, there are plenty of other points that are squirming in my mind and I must express them now. After all, I had to wake up […]

So the Oscars are due within a week or so. Not that it matters but I would like to try my hands on some predictions this time. I have more or less seen most of the major films that were nominated. So, I think I should make a few guesses. I am refraining from predicting […]

The trailer of Richard Linklater’s Everybody Wants Some is out and it looks like a breezy comedy about some 80s baseball obsessed American college kids. But can we expect it to be just another comedy? Surely Linklater will not be limited to that! Over the years, Linklater has become the master of time on celluloid. […]

The trailer of Sonam Kapoor starrer Neerja is out. It is a biopic based on the life of Neerja Bhanot, a flight attendant working for Pan Am who laid down her life while protecting the passengers during a highjack conducted by Palestinian terrorists. She became the youngest person to win Ashok Chakra, India?s highest peacetime […]

The trailer of Jai Gangaajal is out and everyone must have seen it by now. So, here are a few thoughts on Prakash Jha?s films and the trailer itself. Prakash Jha was a part of parallel cinema in the distant, nearly forgotten past. In between he went through many transformation and turned into something different […]
Well… Where should I begin! As a critic of mindless and illogical Bollywood films, I find it a bit hard to openly express my adulation for this film. But yes, to be honest Tanu Weds Manu Returns was the most enjoyable film I have seen in recent time. I cannot imagine doing some of the […]
Male directors have always dominated cinema all over the world. The number of women directors is disproportionately small everywhere and India is also not an exception. We can endlessly discuss about the reasons for the same but I do not want to spend too much time exploring gender dynamics. Instead, today I want to list […]
Well, I do not know how and where to begin. This is something I’d been waiting for. This is something I expected to be a game changer. Instead, I am now left with monumental disappointment and depression. Initially I thought I will write a long eulogy but I do not even feel like talking about […]
