Readers Write In #715: हुज़ूर की कोशिश-ए-हीरामंडी पर बंदा ऐतराज़ दर्ज़ कराता है

Pari Elavazhagan’s ‘Jama’ is an ambitious, solidly narrated drama about a street-theatre troupe
The budget limitation is sometimes a spoilsport, but at every point, you can see the effort of trying something new. Despite the over-emphasis at times, the film works. Pari Elavazhagan’s debut film is inspired by true events, and its title is Jama, which means theatre troupe. Knowing our Tamil cinema, there is the fear that this […]

Bitty Ruminations 97- Movie watching
With so much content around us, do you think the “excitement” — the anticipation — surrounding a new film has gone down? There are many biggies lined up, and some of them make me say “interesting”…. But… But that whole “fuck, I can’t wait for it” feeling seems to be going away! Some of it […]

Readers Write In #714: The Idea Of You
By Aadesh Ramaswamy The film has probably one of my funniest experiences, at least to on the level of a one-liner. Solene (played by the ever-charming Anne Hathaway) and Hayes, have a “break-up“ and due to him being a young and very famous singer, their photos blow up on social media… This is exactly the […]

Sahadev Kelvadi’s ‘Kenda’ is both muted and hard-hitting, a deep-dive into the life and mind of a “lowly” rowdy
The film is an impressionistic series of scenes that showcase the restlessness, the powerlessness, the confusion of an unprivileged man in a changing city. In Ram Gopal Varma’s Satya, the protagonist is an immigrant to Bombay, and he is pulled into the underworld. Sahadev Kelvadi’s Kenda is set in Bangalore and its protagonist – Keshava […]

By Aadesh Ramaswamy Martin Scorsese said Marvel films are not “cinema” … He may have meant whatever he meant, but it definitely raises the question…. What constitutes cinema? At the minimum level, we expect a skilful usage of image and sound to give an experience, emotional or psychological…. Like Velasquez’s Old Woman Making an Egg, […]

Readers Write In #711: Raayan
By Aadesh Ramaswamy In the 2nd half of Raayan, there is a particular section which involves Dushara committing violence for the first time in a bid to protect Raayan.
