#Challengers opens on April 26. In India as well (I think). In the US the MPAA gave it an R rating for “some sexual content and graphic nudity.” Surely in India we will see the film as #LucaGuadagnino intended it to be seen. NOT!

Had #Chamkila been alive, he would have been cancelled as a red flag by the same internet, who's celebrating him and his art.

One and a half month after its release #LaapataaLadies is still playing in theaters - on at least 15 screens in the NCR area today. Remarkable!

The film Chamkila failed to disclose that the two threatening letters received by Amar Singh Chamkila & Amarjot, were sent by Bhindranwale Tiger Force and Khlistan Liberation Force.

The movie neglects to identify the actual Khlistani assailants responsible for the murder. The…

A lovely sense of the world that we have lost-that’s how I felt when I watched Danish Husain । دانش حُسین । दानिश हुसैन #MainPalDoPalKaShayarHoon , based on the life and work of #SahirLudhianvi . The show returns to Bombay’s Tata Theatre, NCPA on April 20. Don’t miss this gem of a play, with music and songs.

This I want to own! #PerfectDays Criterion Collection

I loved Netflix’s show #Ripley . And I had the other Ripley films playing in my head while I watched this stunning show directed by #StevenZaillian . bit.ly/4aARrDT

Gulzar, on Jiya Jale

(from Jiya Jale: The Stories of Songs, Gulzar in conversation with Nasreen Munni Kabir)

Wow! I didn’t know this clip existed. Is there more? I have asked #FerozAbbasKhan and according to him there is no complete recording of the play.

During the early days of the lockdown I made this video with oxfordbookstore where I recommended five of my favorite biographies of film personalities. Those books are as important and relevant today as they were four years ago. fb.watch/rrlt4112xY/?mi…

Israel bombs Iranian consulate in Syria, Iran retaliates, US springs to Israel’s defense. All logical, no?

In Malaysia, Sikhs are often referred to as Bengalis! I recently learned this fact and the fascinating history behind it. British India had three sea ports - Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay. British Malaya was served by ships from Calcutta and Madras. Most North Indians used the…

On 13 April 1919, hundreds of nonviolent Muslim, Sikh and Hindu protesters, along with Baishakhi pilgrims were massacred by British army at Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar. #NeverForget

Imtiaz Ali's ASC is Chamkila for dummies, like Oxford's short introduction series. The MVPs: Diljit,Aarti Bajaj.

Kabir Singh Chowdhry's Mehsampur, formally more confident, acknowleges it's impossible to understand Chamkila without being a part of that world, which doesn't exist anymore.

Loved those simpler times.

Sadly all the three main characters of Mehsampur who were connected to Chamkila have now passed on to the other side. You can watch the film here : mega.nz/file/13MCiZQY#… else send me your telegram ID and I will send you a link.
