If ‘Narcos’ had not happened to me, I would have rendered kind words for ‘Loving Pablo’. ‘Narcos’ was such a stunning and provocative account of the (de)famed Drug Lord that everything else pales in comparison. And, so does this film. Sorry, Javier and Penelope. I love you guys, but you picked up a stalemate thisContinue reading “Again, But No Love..”

Polar – Singular
Alone, defiant and invincible. Not for money but for principles. Can you? Don’t think, just watch.
The Unsung Martyr
He was not just a revolutionary, he was a visionary and an exemplary leader who was an epitome of courage and resilience. His contribution to history was much beyond our road to Independence and the adversity of being caught in a web of political dominance that saw his ultimate oblivion in a disgraceful fashion. HeContinue reading “The Unsung Martyr”
Close
How close can you get to defy odds for someone you never knew? Freakish, but such uninhibited intimacy is seldom found in mortals. ‘Close’ enough!
Guilt Beyond Justice?
The greatest sinner on this planet earth survived justice. But considering them bleakly human, were they guilty? A story of irreversible pain and pay back, a singular and historic man hunt to capture the most dangerous Nazi officer (after the man himself) and bring him to justice for what is best described as ‘monstrously beyondContinue reading “Guilt Beyond Justice?”
Gun City
Aptly worded. People, circumstances and guns. 1920s. Barcelona. Political unrest, fight for freedom and liberation. The bloodshed between anarchists and cops. Both wanted peace, but never knew how to get it. Ideals and loyalty existed but we wanted more. Greed and power struggle replaced the former. Result? Another massacre of law and innocent people.
Road to Discovery
A story that takes you through a journey of hope, introspection and understanding relationships. Matured, teenagers or seniors – it’s all about perspectives in life. It’s not being right or wrong, good or bad. Be yourself, satisfaction will follow suit.
Truly, Indeed!
They don’t make players like you any more. If there was someone I admired after ‘God’, it was you. There will never be another Rahul Dravid. Happy Bday, Sir!
Manto
It is a story of a provocative writer, an extremely sensitive human being and above all, a victim of the evil time. Saadat Hasan Manto’s story deserves to be told, heard and understood. Well, the context first, the writer later. You can burn the screens, but can we destroy the conscience?
Colours of 2018
As I bid goodbye to this year (few hours to go), I would like to remember the year with a sense of mixed emotions. I enjoyed embracing the usual suspects of life – Instability, greasy starts, disappointments, progressive altar, some wonderful moments with family, watching my son grow another year older, seeing ourselves evolving asContinue reading “Colours of 2018”
When blindness galores
When blindness slithers around for drama, only to realize that blindness is a way of life. Volatile characters, human decadence and a whip of madness in each of them. ‘Andhadhun’ delivers, not blindly.
The Story of Love
Love isn’t your essentials today, it’s a feeling of abounds and benefits, especially with our generation. We don’t believe in classics, our roots are more inclined towards lust and insatiable components (sex is one of them). Just hold on before you judge me. I am not an anti-love person. In fact, I am a greatContinue reading “The Story of Love”
