Briefly Reviewed – Avinash Arun’s ‘Three of Us’

Happy 2024!
One of the best things I did in 2023 is get off the Internet. These days, I post my stuff/video links and get out of there. I did it to see if I would really “gain” more time, as many people said — and I did. I have been writing an oddball, pulpy, non-socially responsible […]

Remembering Vijayakanth
His first megahit, and this song was a megahit, too. Millennials may not realise how big he was in the 1980s.

Readers Write In #653: जिगरथंडा डबल X – जंगल बनाम जंगली, राइफल बनाम रील
By Vishnu Mahesh Sharma कार्तिक सुब्बराज की फिल्म ‘जिगरथंडा डबल X’ कुछ अपना सा ही वक्त लेती है मुख्य मुद्दे तक पहुंचने के लिए। फिल्म कुछ लड़खड़ाती, कुछ संभलती हुई मध्यांतर तक पहुंचती है। पर इसके साथ ही वो पहुंचती है जंगल में। इस जंगल में कहानी को मिलती है भावनाओं और विचारों की वो […]

Readers Write In #652: Drowned in relational conflict, ‘Maestro’ doesn’t quite soar masterfully to a crescendo
By Madan Mohan With Maestro, the Netflix movie on the late, great Leonard Bernstein, out now, Youtube was lately bombarding me with videos of the man in action. Watching him make renowned tenor Jose Carreras sweat reminded me of a music maestro closer home. That and the sheer difficulty of keeping time on Something’s Coming (seriously, check it […]

Prashanth Neel’s action-packed ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire’ takes its time to get going, but eventually settles into a decent watch
The film stars Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran. It may have worked better had it not wasted the first half on buildup, because post-interval, it takes off pretty well. Prashanth Neel loves dark, violent worlds. In his first film, Ugramm, we had Mughor. Then came the gold fields of KGF. And now, in Salaar: Part 1 […]
