Current Account Imbalances – What do they mean?

How well do we understand inflationary expectations?
In looking at the causes of inflation, textbooks will cover demand-pull and cost-push but not go into much detail about inflationary expectations. If the consumer believes that prices of goods are going to increase this will have an impact on…

Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Khufiya’ seesaws between a deeply personal drama and a spy thriller, and neither aspect comes across satisfactorily
The film stars Tabu, Ali Fazal, Wamiqa Gabbi. There are some typically poetic touches that you expect from this director, but this film needed more. Vishal Bhardwaj’s new film is set amidst covert operations in India, the US, and Bangladesh, and its title is just one adjective: Khufiya. But there’s two levels of secrecy implied […]

Roby Varghese Raj’s ‘Kannur Squad’ is a very satisfying police procedural that plays like a massier version of ‘Kuttavum Shikshayum’
The film stars Mammootty, Kishore, Rony David. It proves that good, thoughtful writing can exist in hero-centric mainstream filmmaking. Masked men enter a house, commit a heinous crime, and escape. This is what a screenwriter would call the “inciting incident” of Kannur Squad. But by this point, the film has already been incited. We have already […]

By Vishnu Mahesh Sharma Just before the intermission, in Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘The Vaccine War’, on a while board with a black color marker, a prominent scientist writes “Only science can win this war.” Immediately after this ‘Nasadiya Sukta’ is heard in the background.

Nahas Hidayath’s ‘RDX’, on Netflix, has okayish stunts backed up by solid emotional beats and appealing protagonists — the result is a not-bad action movie
The film stars Shane Nigam, Anthony Varghese, Neeraj Madhav, and Mahima Nambiar. The small tweaks in the plot and the characters give the clichéd storyline enough intrigue to make ‘RDX’ more than just a bunch of Insta-reels of fights. If RDX is an explosive novel, the romance between Robert and Mini is a lovely little […]

I Ahmed’s ‘Iraivan’, with Jayam Ravi and Nayanthara, is a super-generic and underwhelming serial-killer thriller
Man is the most dangerous animal of all. These are not my words. These are the words that open this thriller, which features Jayam Ravi and Nayanthara as Arjun and Priya. He is a cop. She is a cop’s sister. (Narain plays her brother, Andrew.) Arjun is impatient and believes in encounter killings, saying that […]
