Prabhu Ram Vyas’s terrific ‘Lover’ charts the stages of a breakup with clinical precision
The film stars Manikandan and Sri Gouri Priya. Its rhythms are so fresh and new, and what it does is so revolutionary. Lover opens with an image of someone learning how to surf and falling off the board – unsteady, fearful – and one of the film’s final images is that of this same person […]

Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s ‘Lal Salaam’ is an underwhelming, old-fashioned story about Hindu-Muslim unity
The film stars Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth, and Rajinikanth appears in a supporting role. The good intentions are undone by a convoluted screenplay. In Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s Lal Salaam, Senthil plays a temple priest named Saamikannu. He lives alone. His son lives elsewhere with his family, and Saamikannu yearns for the annual temple festival: the thiruvizha. […]

Pulkit’s ‘Bhakshak’, on Netflix, dives into a sexual abuse case with disappointingly predictable results

In Pulkit’s Bhakshak, Bhumi Pednekar plays a journalist named Vaishali, who runs her own TV channel in Patna. There is one other person in her […]

Readers Write In #664: Is man evil by nature?
By G Waugh ‘Man by nature, is selfish. That is precisely why socialist societies don’t get created so easily unless by force. Even if they do, they don’t last’ I have seen these lines being offered as counter-argument whenever I had tried to ‘convert’ my friends or relatives into socialism. *** When you ask me […]

Anirban Dutta’s ‘Anubhuti’, which had its world premiere at Rotterdam, is a sensuous series of tableaux based on Krishna, Radha, and Meera
The film is free of dialogue, and Meera Bai’s famous bhajan-s take their place. Through these songs, Meera projects herself into the Krishna-Radha universe in Vrindavan. In his second feature, Anirban Dutta gets credited for – among many other aspects – the story, screenplay and direction. But unlike other films, these individual components of cinematic […]
