Ajitpal Singh’s ‘Fire In the Mountains’, on SonyLIV, peels back the beauty of the mountains to gaze at stark realities
Spoilers ahead… This assured film is a chronicle of contrasts: man versus woman, blind faith versus practicality, progress versus status-quo… Fire In the Mountains runs just eighty-something minutes and it’s Ajitpal Singh’s debut feature. It premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, and is centred on a family in a remote Himalayan village. On the […]

Akhil Sathyan’s ‘Pachuvum Athbutha Vilakkum’, on Prime Video, is proof that templates are never an issue if the storytelling is strong
Spoilers ahead… Fahadh Faasil shows us how a thinking performer can freshen up a familiar role, but the film belongs to three women from three generations: Anjana Jayaprakash, Viji Venkatesh, and young Dhwani Rajesh. In Vinodayathra, a flawed but essentially good-natured man learns a bunch of life lessons from the people around him. In Jomonte […]

Readers Write In #582: The Story of Allen Dulles and his CIA
By Jeeva The USSR despite its flaws, if anything was considered world over as a force that could threaten the unholy interests of the rich and the ultra-rich. The ultra-rich elite of the 20th century was neither a restricted, national entity nor just a bunch of industrialists harmlessly running their business operations within their narrow […]

Readers Write In #581: Virupaksha: The Succubus lies in the details
By Vishnu Mahesh Sharma @ vishnumaheshsharma@gmail.com We have seen so many films where the hero meets the heroine when the heroine is accomplishing an act of theft. Case in point Amar Akbar Anthony, Parvarish and Thupparivaalan. In these kind of films, this portion, apart from giving the heroine melodramatic reasons/motives for theft, doubles up as […]

Argentina – CPI 109% interest rates 97%

Journey to Summer (and how to survive) with Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman and Audrey Hepburn
Originally posted on Three Enchanting Ladies: Although we’re still in May, it’s starting to get warmer and warmer here in Montreal, and it feels like summer will arrive sooner than later. There are already tons of people enjoying a drink on a terrace or having a picnic in a park. A serene atmosphere floats in…

Readers Write In #580: The Imposter – The ramblings of a fundamentally uninteresting man
By Kanhu Kishore I want to tell you a story. A story probably worth telling, at least I think so. Some names are changed because well, it’s a story. So, let’s start. Yeah, let’s start. But where to start, I don’t know. I am in this situation where I feel shitty all the time. […]

Readers Write In #579: Daredevil Musthafa (DDM) – An outsider’s view
By Salini Senthil A lack of outrageous fanfare before the release seems to be the modern indicator of silently well-made, small-budget independent movies, in our current time and age. After a silent 2018 made silent waves through theatres to my heartwarming appreciation (i was not a fan of the triumphs The Kerala story saw in […]

Achyut Vinayak’s ‘Thrishanku’, with Anna Ben and Arjun Ashokan, has a super premise, but it’s content to remain a pleasant watch instead of the all-out riot it could have become
Spoilers ahead… For about a half-hour, I was in comedy heaven. But these situations are not pushed enough. They are not milked enough for jokes. After a point, the writing becomes super-convenient. In her first film, Kumbalangi Nights, Anna Ben was stuck with a psychotic brother-in-law. Since then, she has been thrown into a freezer […]

Shashank Soghal’s ‘Daredevil Musthafa’ is a laid-back charmer filled with newcomers, and it covers up its flaws with a massive dose of can-do spirit
Spoilers ahead… It’s refreshing to see the messaging about religious tolerance come right out of the events rather than being put out as preachy dialogues. Very early in Daredevil Musthafa, we see this line: “For the first time, the fans of a writer have produced a film.” The writer is Poornachandra Tejaswi, and the fans […]
