Binge Watch – Candid Reviews
I watched some interesting shows and movies in the last 3 months, some of them were special compared to a few. Here is the account of it in a more summarised fashion – though couple them deserve a dedicated piece on it. Not in any particular order but the ones preceding the others obviously madeContinue reading “Binge Watch – Candid Reviews”
Animal – Vengeance Reloaded
I could derive a few meaningful lessons from Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s ‘Animal’. Yes, amidst all the criticism despite blockbuster Box Office numbers, I decided to watch the movie, exempt from certain prejudices and expectations. First things first. ‘Animal’, ‘Kabir Singh’ and ‘Arjun Reddy’ are not the first films in Indian Cinema to depict and propelContinue reading “Animal – Vengeance Reloaded”

Cinema is Back
Thank you, MuBI! For getting me back in the pedestal of the BIG SCREEN. Nothing like Cinema in theatres 👍🙏🥰. And, this is what I did to celebrate 👇🏻.

There is no absolute mantra for successful relationships, but certainContinue reading “The Color Wheel”
The Role of a Woman
The most complete human being in this world is a ‘Woman’. I think it is not a question of ‘why’, the more important question is ‘why not’. ‘Bhumika’ is a dazzling portrayal of a woman who despite all the talent and prowess, struggles in a world which is dominated by man and his patriarchal legacy.Continue reading “The Role of a Woman”
