By Aman Basha Calling it an attempt to provoke 2022 was a good year for film per me.Sure there are those who are worried about the dip in success rates for theatrical releases, the seeming audience disinterest in genres and such, but to them I have only one retort and it starts with a K, […]

By Karthik Amarnath When the trailer of Varisu popped up on OTT, it was an easy decision for me to watch the movie. A simple family drama, a pleasant bungalow backdrop, and a Vijay character who was not so much a son of the soil as he was the offspring of an opulent Sarath Kumar. They were […]

By Bharath Vijayakumar Debutant director Adhil Maimoonath Asharaf’s Ntikkakkakkoru Premondarnn is the kind of film that is most commonly referred to as a feel-good film. There is a general feel of warmth throughout and even when there are major conflicts, you feel assured that things will fall in place. Another way to see it is that […]

Supply chain disruptions and large fiscal deficits have been part of the cause of the inflationary problems that have been prevalent in the global economy. Increased aggregate demand from government spending accompanied by supply constraints have seen prices soar. The… Continue reading →

Spoilers ahead… This is not a subtle movie, but when lawyers or teachers are on screen, the preaching and the messaging automatically assume context. It does not feel like the usual random advice from a random do-gooder hero. There’s a terrific bit of irony in Mansore’s 19-20-21. The story revolves around the tribal people in […]

Spoilers ahead… The actors don’t give performances in the way actors usually do. They enact a series of still lifes, while the “acting” is left to the Theyyam, Kudiyattam and Kathakali dancers. The simplest way to describe Rahat Mahajan’s Meghdoot (The Cloud Messenger) is as a timeless love story, and the film’s biggest achievement is […]

By Abishekspeare “So, what do you wanna drink?” she asks, eager to know what a self-professed alcohol expert would say. I get paralyzed for a second, my face giving an expression as that of a batsman who got hit in his balls in the first delivery. “Umm…I’ll just have beer”, I say, because it’s the […]

The impact of the recent Cyclone (Gabrielle) on the North Island of New Zealand have highlighted the problems of soil erosion and the damage from wood debris left behind after harvest (known as ‘slash’). Tonnes of woody debris, mixed in… Continue reading →

By Severus Snape I’m in a cab. I’ve heard people talk about how college teaches us how to live and discover ourselves. I’m unsure about the “discover ourselves” part, but I’m travelling alone for the first time. I leaned onto the window with my bag in my lap. I clutched it hard as we left […]

By Kartik Iyer “With seminal classics like Taxi Driver, it’s easy to just think of a world where they always existed and were always destined to exist. But that’s not how a hot potato screenplay like Taxi Driver gets produced by a major Hollywood studio. The truth is if you revere Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver (like I do), then you […]
