If Breaking Bad was a show about the sweet innocent Walter White taking control of his life, El Camino is about his loyal sidekick Jesse Pinkman finding his own, finally free from Walt’s manipulation. Aaron Paul pulls this off with the same soft intensity that he injected into Pinkman during Breaking Bad’s five-season run.

What most angry criticism of Joker has missed is that getting inside the headspace of a culprit is not tantamount to validating it. That acknowledgement of mental health does not translate into negation of accountability. The film never denies that Arthur Fleck turns into a psychopathic, nihilistic murderer.

In a world, where leaders are insistent on building walls and putting states under lockdown, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali's efforts stand out. He decided to give up disputed border territory to Eritrea, bringing an end to two decades of brinkmanship and ushering in peace after 20 years.

The Sky Is Pink feels less like a biopic of a dead teenager and more like an unabashed tribute to the two fighters who volunteered to a losing battle for over two decades. It’s predictable and familiar yet affecting and tender, especially as an examination of unconditional caregiving.

The question of “Is Heisenberg alive or dead?” still looms, thanks to the fact that El Camino, the new Breaking Bad movie, focuses on Jesse Pinkman instead. I couldn’t be happier, because after five top-notch seasons as second fiddle, Pinkman deserves his time in the spotlight.

After a gap of a year — triggered by a high-profile sex assault scandal that led to several resignations — the Nobel Prize in Literature was announced, and winners for 2018 and 2019 were declared. The latest recipients of the prestigious accolade, Olga Tokarczuk and Peter Handke, could not be more different.

Asif Kapadia’s Diego Maradona, a biopic documentary of the greatest footballer of all time, is an enthralling, explosive record of the time when Diego, born in an impoverished town outside Buenos Aires, became a prisoner of Maradona, the celebrity brand he created for himself.

Boris Johnson can be best summed up as the only person capable of making the whole Brexit fiasco worse. Full of idiotic bluster, he is a man who thinks overconfidence will compensate for a lack of substance. Alas, this is politics, not advertising and the European Union doesn’t respond like brand managers.

The Save Aarey activists are neither paid puppets with a hidden agenda nor overly woke anarchists. It has always been a citizen’s movement, and at the heart of it are people who have jobs to do, bills to pay, and are just as worried that this city will completely implode one day.

Sometimes, when I miss my mother’s younger, healthier, happier self, all I need to do is close my eyes and think of the beautiful letters she wrote me – letters as distinct as the way she drapes her saree. But the realisation that my life was going to be forever lacking in the salt of her written words dawned on me when her memory began to fade.
