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”

Irrfan – Remembering the Performer..

Perhaps the most unique find in the field of Cinema in the last 25-30 years. Gifted and natural, Irrfan Khan was one of those actors who defied the qualities that goes in to the making of a superstar. Ordinary face (not conventional), bulging eyes, tall but not a domineering presence, no six packs nor doesContinue reading “Irrfan – Remembering the Performer..”

Maradona – Genius and Rebel

Maradona was not just a football player, he was perhaps the most attractive and magnetic personality the game of football has ever seen. Way back, for young kids like me, he was Football himself. He was one of the very few and rare players in the history of any sport who has enthralled millions acrossContinue reading “Maradona – Genius and Rebel”

Remembering you..

Your legacy lives on.. Steve – the first iPod launch, the first iPhone launch, the first iPad launch.. I don’t think I can ever forget those iconic product launches.

Perhaps, the most versatile and mellifluous voice in the modern generation, his flair remains untouched and undisputed. Today, is a sad day. We have lost the voice. This PandemicContinue reading “The Eternal Voice”

Irrfan Khan – An Actor of Substance

‘When death strikes, it’s not about the darkness. It’s about those indelible marks that are left behind’. I really believed that he will fight this out and come back to do what he does best, acting. But somewhere, it was written otherwise. It’s a tragic loss to the world of Cinema, and we have lostContinue reading “Irrfan Khan – An Actor of Substance”

A Revered Adieu

“Tread not in the by-lanes of the belittle ones, you will only be ripped off of your untainted glory and the very reason for your sublime existence”. @msksmiles “Vultures can hunt, eagles can prey, tigers will prowl. Only a saint will consume all the adultery and exude sanity for the baffled minds”. – @msksmiles IContinue reading “A Revered Adieu”

Chandni. Forever.

Sridevi’s demise marks an an end to a celebrated era of woman talent and perseverance. One of those mercurial and prodigious actors who was able to transcend boundaries successfully and with so much grace, Sridevi used her strong foundation from Tamil films to foray in to Hindi cinema and was able to hone her wayContinue reading “Chandni. Forever.”

The Curious Case of Netaji

The last couple of weeks saw Google bestowing tributes on a Russian filmmaker and a Mexican Diva. Today, I saw a Nigerian football icon grabbing this honor. Google Doodle, thank you! But I was surprised and disappointed to see that we conveniently forgot to acknowledge that today also happens to be the birthday of aContinue reading “The Curious Case of Netaji”

Inevitable 2018, Hello!

2017 was a roller coaster year. Well, I can call it adventurous and tumultuous in the same breath. Yes, you might argue that these expressions don’t quite sit adjacent to each other. But at times, our derivatives stand flawed and undisputed. Strange are the ways of life, so was 2017. Indulgent, attractive, celebrated. Sometimes, weContinue reading “Inevitable 2018, Hello!”
