In Dhaakad, Kangana Ranaut acts as a living, breathing, killing machine in a film that is too influenced by its western predecessors to have something of its own to say about a genre that we can only hope gets bigger and better.

Considered the hub of innovation, Bengaluru’s infrastructural problems are at odds with every app-based solution its brightest minds try to sell as a ‘solution’ to a problem. Beneath its veil of ambitious, lip-smacking valuations, there is a creaking city waiting to be rescued.

Ali Sethi’s Pasoori has become a social media sensation, so much so it inspired The New Yorker to frame him as some sort of a messiah uniting Indians and Pakistanis through art.

Every summer, women in India have to contend with ball-scratching, banyan-wearing men either telling them what to wear or leering at them long enough to force them into covering every inch of their burning skin.
