(Will bring over comments soon.) Please continue the topic here. I have brought over the relevant comments above.

By ​An Jo Continuing from the closing moments of the ‘70s, extending onto the late‘80s, time for the 48 year old AB to compete with the ‘young Khan’ blood: the innocent-looking Aamir, the go-getter/ham-expert SRK, the non-actor but damn good-looker/vada-pav seeker Salim Khan’s son. Time to move on; so much so that I, as a […]

By ​Vijay Ramanathan Note: YouTube’s vast repository includes a multitude of wonderful movies in many languages – some hidden gems, and some that are hard to find elsewhere. In this series of articles, I will share some of my favorite classic movies freely available on YouTube, along with a brief analysis. The videos are not […]

Spoilers ahead… The first half is a template Ayushmann Khurrana movie. The second half is a dull drama whose every single beat is predictable. On the surface, Anubhuti Kashyap’s Doctor G looks like another product from the Ayushmann Khurrana Assembly Line (AKAL™). Icky issue? Check. An embarrassed protagonist? Check. Eventual acceptance? Check. This time, Ayushmann […]

By ​Hari PR This is in response to the recent thrust by a government-appointed panel to replace the medium of instruction in educational institutions, which currently is English, with the respective regional language. The reasons provided for this change are that English is a vestige of the colonial legacy that India is trying to put […]

Spoilers ahead… This is not the kind of movie where a family moves into a haunted house and starts experiencing jump scares from SCENE 5. This is – first and foremost – about a family haunted by issues. Achu Vijayan’s Vichitram is built on a supernatural framework, and right from the first frame, there’s an […]

With the A2 essay paper coming up here is a note on indifference curves – if you know the theory it is a good essay to do. Remember that most indifference curve questions will have a discussion section that asks… Continue reading →

By ​Aman Basha A small drop into the ocean of words and wishes surrounding the colossus that strides our age Few films can be as postcard pretty and deeply uncomfortable as Silsila. It is not very surprising why, apart from its obvious flaws, it was one of the rare flops for the box office Supremo. […]

By ​An Jo The bridge between child-hood and adult-hood wasn’t that long; what with DD raking in the TRPs with AB movies every Saturday, festival or not. With crores being generated for DD thanks to the endorsements, thanks to families reserving their Saturdays to catch his movies, DD simply couldn’t get enough of AB. Here’s […]

I saw the film this week, a second time. It was even more impressive. Time and again, screenplay advice has told us that the narrative should be told from a single POV, and that the person whose POV we follow is the “protagonist”. As much as Vandhiyathevan is the “protagonist” of this film, so many […]

By ​Aman Basha A small drop into the ocean of words and wishes surrounding the colossus that strides our age It is impossible for me to pinpoint the exact moment that I came to know of Amitabh Bachchan. He always seemed to be omniscient, present even in an Andhra town where the last Hindi theater […]

By ​Raghu Narayanan Why am I writing this review? The act of penning your thoughts on paper is transformational in nature. The act transforms what is intangible into something that is tangible. It might seem quite a simple thing to do, but as we sit down to do it, it seems as if there is […]

By ​An Jo It is a strenuous procedure to write about a man who’s been entertaining the subjects of a country for 50 years. 50 years is the life-time span of many individuals living in this frenetic world, and dying, as has been revealed by statistics highlighting people dying of heart attacks when working out […]

By ​Abishek Balaji What really decides the fate of a movie? Despite the nature of the movie business being unpredictable, are the audience being fair? I was witness to a very emotional moment while watching Ponniyin Selvan last week. Not the movie itself – even though I liked it, I didn’t find myself laughing or […]

By ​Aman Basha Thoughts on the troubles of Indo-Islamic Reform and the life of Hamid Dalwai If there is one word to describe Muslim Politics in India, it’s this: “myopic”. The political leaders of the Muslim community, who often are also the religious gatekeepers or are in collaboration with the likes of such seem to […]

By ​Raja Kesari The Shetty gang strikes again. Folklore based movies are a tough nut to crack. Usually movie makers resort to this theme for horror or myth based movies as there is always an element of superstition involved. My favourites in this category would be Tumbbad and Bulbul. Some exceptions of late have been […]
