Full disclosure, nostalgia made me watch this old Disneytoons cartoon movie. And mostly that is thanks to a certain video with clips from the movie, showing how chaotic this movie is with its humour, I highly recommend putting on the captions. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUkuYkH796c. It brought me back to watching this…

Remakes are a hot topic, be it from Disney’s money grabs at nostalgia, a reimagining of a classic movie or just the Hindi remake of a movie from South India. This is one such remake, and one of a successful Tamil movie at that. O Kadhal Kanmani (2015) directed by…

Hello! I know I abandoned this blog for a LONG time…like almost over a year. There was just something that felt so much like work, not fun for a while and then the whole COVID-19 thing happened (and is still happening) and the world became quite chaotic. I just needed…

I am not religious, but one of my favourite musicals is Andrew Lloyd Webbers Jesus Christ Superstar. No Idea how it became one of my favourites, but it just has been growing me slowly through the years. My first Superstar was the 2000 version with Glen Carter and Jerome Pradon…

Continue reading →: Sushant Singh Rajput: A Memoriam
I know it has taken me a while to write this. There were many reasons, especially the circumstances, the many unfounded conspiracy theories and hate that followed, leaving the real discussion of mental health (especially in this time) behind. Now, I feel like I can talk about him and what…

I’ve been waiting to see this movie for a while, after seeing that We Are One was putting it on YouTube for free I watched it as soon as I could. Summary: Set in 17th century during the time of the Mughals the story tells of Shiraz who was found…

After seeing Kashmir in so many Indian films like Mission Kashmir, Fitoor, Haider and countless others, this comes as a breath of fresh air. A movie made by the Kashmiris themselves in the Kashmiri language (though the version I saw on Netflix was Urdu-dubbed) and from the view of Kashmiri’s…

Based on a Marathi play of the same name in 1976 by Mahesh Elkunchwar. This film grabs you and doesn’t let you go, either by its realness or by the craftsmanship of its story, which is in a sense in a commentary on art within an art based on art.…

Continue reading →: Irrfan Khan: A Memoriam
It has taken me a week to gather my thoughts on this and what to write. It all happened so quickly it was hard to fathom it. Suddenly he was there, then he wasn’t. Irrfan was known to me from The Lunchbox (2013) and Piku (2015) the latter being one…

Continue reading →: Rishi Kapoor: A Memoriam
It has taken me a week to find my thoughts with all this, especially with Irrfan Khan’s death (he will get a write-up like this as well) the previous day these two hit me hard. It is just so sad to lose people so close in succession, I know I…
