A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
A madcap black comedy that's refreshing amongst the usual Bollywood shtick of songs and dance-that's Blackmail for you. But before I lavish too much praise on it, the movie does suffer towards the end with too-much-a-good-thing syndrome in the form of the same idea being circulated once too many times to keep being interested. Scroll... Continue Reading →
Dropping the "i" from the title didn't provide much relief to the Karni Sena am guessing, but it certainly generated more buzz around an already buzzing hive of wasps and hornets. But getting back to the movie- it's epic! In its grandiosity, its conception and sadly, its mediocrity. And yet, it still works. And how!... Continue Reading →
I've written earlier about the advent of Alexa in our lives. Red was in the market for good quality speakers and was considering buying Sonos and then suddenly got his head turned by the cute lil dot that now talks to us in a STRONG American accent and frequently gets our song choices wrong because...

This movie is Prosit Roy's love affair with the older parts of Calcutta, the bits that make it stand apart from every other city in India. It is strangely enough, also an ode to the nail cutter and umbrellas. Never has the humble implement of hand and foot hygiene received so much spotlight neither, for... Continue Reading →
Red bought an Echo Dot for th house last year. Suffice to say it's the digital pet. The offspring has bonded with Alexa quite a bit. I keep hearing his voice trilling , "Alexaaaa" on and off right from the time he's up in the mornings. Echo Dot has more capabilities that can be tapped... Continue Reading →
I am a SAHM. I like writing the abbreviation rather than typing out the whole shebang viz Stay At Home Mom. And I think quite a bit of time and effort is being spent on Mira Rajput and her choice of words regarding her own daughter. I suppose if I wanted to, I could extrapolate, that... Continue Reading →
A chance encounter with an 80's movie gets me laughing and nostalgic and being thoroughly entertained.
It's good to watch movies. Good or bad. Gives one an idea about the kind of things film makers are thinking about and if they do have the pulse of their audience. With Rustom they succeeded in breaking out of the run-of-the-mill Bollywood masala grist and yet failed to craft a taut film that makes... Continue Reading →
Let me start by saying that I've usually felt that Salman Khan is akin to a horse's ass. He isn't that good an actor and the only thing I can say in his favor is that at his age, keeping up with that kind of body and dancing like a lunatic takes stamina. So yay...kudos... Continue Reading →
It's not the worst movie I've ever seen and neither will it be. Am sure I'm fated to see much, much worse. But Dilwale was a bit loose compared to the usual Rohit Shetty fare IMHO. And while it makes zero since to critique an out and out potboiler from Bollywood, one must undertake... Continue Reading →
