In these COVID times, the mind has begun to seek lighter fare over heavy-duty, “difficult” cinema
July 4, 2020
The pandemic has made us seek optimism and joy, which is not usually a quality you find with “difficult” films. When life has become The Seventh Seal, with many of us playing games with Death each time we step out, the last thing we may want is more gloom and doom on screen. Sight & […]

Hemant Kumar: On his birth centenary, a musical flashback
June 16, 2020
Recalling some of the composer-singer’s music, from the sombre Guru Dutt films to Girl Friend, which had ‘Boom booma boom’. When it comes to films, we may admire the choices an actor makes, but there’s always a doubt: Is this great bit of dialogue delivery the actor’s own choice, or did the director prompt him […]

The Cannes 2020 lineup is here, and Wes Anderson is the sole“star director”
June 4, 2020
High-profile directors matter at film festivals, because here, they are the real stars. Because they have oeuvres we already know, and the excitement is about ‘what next’! The first foreign film I watched on a big screen — that is, apart from the rare ones Doordarshan used to screen at night — is Federico Fellini’s […]
Readers Write In #195: My journey to Indian cinema and this blog
May 26, 2020
(by Hakimo Brahim Belaout) If you happen to mention something about Indian cinema while you are in Algeria the most obvious response would be ” Janitou “. A term that literally has no meaning is actually a mispronounced and wrongly written abbreviation of “ Jaane Tu “. If you demand a clearer hint or explication […]
Devi Complex turns 50: Here’s to theatre love, which is different from movie love
May 25, 2020
The theatre right at the top was Devi Paradise, with that winding walkway. While coming down, you’d feel like you were in an anti-gravity amusement park ride. When the 23C bus began its ascent on the Gemini flyover, it was time to close the book I was reading, get up from my seat and walk […]
Readers Write In #169: One memory for eternity?

Out of the hundreds of memories, stored haphazardly in the treasure chest of my mind, what’s the one memory that would […]

April 27, 2020
(by Athreya Shankar) You always feel a special connection with a movie that is shot in your locality- the place you grew up in, the place you associate with happy memories of a bygone past, where you wish you could return at the snap of a finger, but for whatever reason, has now become a […]

April 10, 2020
(by Harish Prakash) Amid lockdown, shut inside our houses, it is probably not surprising that some of us are contemplating our career choices and how we used to go about our lives before a virus decided to show up uninvited.
