Karan Tejpal's STOLEN is now streaming on Prime. A rare survival thriller that's vulnerable enough to question its own reflection in the mirror. Highly recommended. Review: hollywoodreporterindia.com/reviews/stream…

When contemporary Hindi cinema keeps failing us, we turn to the past. And what a past it is. My flashback column in THR's May magazine was about 10 years of PIKU. It's now online: hollywoodreporterindia.com/features/insig…

#Mountainhead is a self-absorbed, pretentious and intermittently funny mess — a film so high on its cast and crew that it suffers from a case of the mediocrity munchies | Rahul Desai reviews #JesseArmstrong #SteveCarell ottplay.com/features/mount…

Great sports documentaries make elite athletes seem so human and relatable that a piece turns into a personal essay. That's what happened when I wrote about the exquisite FLINTOFF, which led to musings on alter-egos, loneliness and, of course, grief: ottplay.com/features/flint…

Housefull 5 is like that offensive and drunken old uncle who keeps gatecrashing family functions, shames youngsters for being uptight, and urges everyone to stop being so woke — he also asks a different relative for a loan before he leaves. Review: hollywoodreporterindia.com/reviews/theatr…

Between all the reviews and the deadlines, this is the kind of writing that keeps me sane – and tethered to who I am. This is a personal essay that emerges from the themes of a remarkable sports documentary: ottplay.com/features/flint…

It's in my nature to be an Alcaraz fan for the next decade. But I'm just not committing because, as a former Federer enthusiast, I see a galaxy of heartache ahead.

Wonder how the rest of the tour feels when they see tennis so transcendent. Deflated? Inspired? Both at once? Last felt this way after the 2008 Wimbledon final. A final that probably changed Djokovic forever.
