I ventured into the Bollywood gully after a long time with Gangubai Kathiawadi. The past few years haven’t been Bollywood’s best with the South Indian industry consistently overshadowing the Hindi culture of hyper realism with extremely great scripts and production approaches.

It’s a positive and a long awaited development that Bollywood is venturing into thematic cinema. Especially into untouched waters with topics like late adulthood pregnancy, same sex relationships and surrogacy.

The forlorn idea of a dreadfully poor part of India hailing a White Tiger is not brand new. We’ve seen it time and again and it has garnered positive and negative responses, but apparently hasn’t died out. After the famous Hollywood crossover addressing the theme titled Slumdog Millionaire, we have yet another one named The... Continue Reading →
For a hardcore fan of the Sherlock Holmes series (the Benedict Cumberbatch one), any new content in the line of the Holmes franchise is a delight. Enola Holmes, in that regard, is an interesting spin-off shedding the limelight on Sherlock and Mycroft’s lesser talked about sister, Enola. Apparently Enola has inherited the same wits as...
