By Vishnu Mahesh Sharma Very early in Sudhanshu Sharma’s ‘Love-All’, we see a man who has just returned to his childhood city, Bhopal. But there is no glitter, spark, vivacity and nostalgia in his eyes upon his return to the roots. The eyes are filled with an infinite void. They carry haunting effects of broken […]

Last Tuesday, the 6th edition of The Wonderful Ingrid Blogathon, celebrating the three-time Oscar-winning actress, ended with the submission of the last articles by the participants. It’s been a pleasure, as always, to read your material and see how much Ingrid is still appreciated, even 41 years after her passing. One particularly cool thing this year […]

Spoilers ahead… In terms of the inventiveness of the storytelling and the structure, I was reminded of the wonderfully riotous Malayalam film ‘Thallumala’. This is one of the most enjoyable, most cleverly constructed films of the year. Nithin Krishnamurthy’s Boys Hostel (dubbed into Telugu from the Kannada hit, Hostel Hudugaru Bekagiddare) is a fun ride […]

The BRICS (Brazil Russia India China and South Africa) countries have long been concerned about the dominance of the West in global financial institutions and trade. In order to try and increase its influence the BRICS countries agreed to add… Continue reading →

By Sudharsanan Sampath She smiled at me as the autumn night’s cold breeze cradled her already messy hair. She smiled at that too. I waved at her, ever so subtly. She waved back. She had just made a new friend. Moments later I saw her falling asleep on her mom’s lap. *** I flicked my […]

By Karthik Amarnath Ok, so let’s play a guessing game. Name this filmmaker, born in summer 1970, whose debut film released in the US in 1997. Too little info? Ok, here’s another clue. His most recent film was a biopic of a scientist, who is shown to be at Princeton University early in the film. Getting warm, are […]

Falling rouble has the Russian central bank raising interest rates by 3.5% to 12%. Last week the rouble plummeted – over 100 roubles was required to buy a 1US$. This compares to around 50 roubles in June 2022 – see… Continue reading →

Spoilers ahead… The tone is all over the place, and because the love angle is hardly developed, we don’t care about this couple getting together. Casting Venkat Prabhu in Adiyae makes a great deal of sense. The director made the superb Maanadu, which is one of the rare Tamil films that successfully explored a sci-fi […]

Spoilers ahead… The stage is set for a compelling drama punctuated by bursts of action. But what we end up with is a generic slo-mo action movie with occasional bursts of drama. Would you believe me if I said that the most affecting character in Abhilash Joshiy’s King of Kotha is a cat? It has […]

Spoilers ahead… The film , starring Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya, is about growing-up pains. It is about the idiotic things we do, the idiotic mistakes we make in our teens and early twenties. So this is the scenario. Let’s say we fall hard for someone in school, someone from the same lower-class neighbourhood that […]

Madhavan’s Rocketry won the Best Feature Film award. RRR has won the best popular film providing wholesome […]
