It has been a year since the launch of my first book “On Beauty: The Cinema of Sanjay Leela Bhansali”. At the launch, last year, I read out a small piece, on the failure of language, which I titled “Criticism as an Act of Jilted Love”. https://t.co/sXZVfIf4DZ

What is worrying is how the urgency of and anger against censorship, of self-censorship has become a resignation. It is what it is. The thing to anger about and draw the line on is second screen viewing, and protecting your story from becoming becoming ambient tv.

Budgets slashes, self-censorship, legal battles, fighting the second-screen viewing. Streaming will “get shittier before it gets better,” Sudeep Sharma predicts. Raj notes, “The hope now is theaters.” From @suchin545 ’s dream line-up OTT roundtable. https://t.co/kddT9RmIAK

Eko is one of this year’s most accomplished and immersive films—a fragile story that doesn’t build but splinter to a conclusion that isn’t a climax but a gesture. Images and ideas and details from the film are still bubbling in my head. https://t.co/PBaHHwcdVV

Both Bison Kaalamaadan and Homebound are on Netflix today. Had written about the two films as counterpoints, and the contrasting images they leave us with—and why Homebound’s confected narrative felt inadequate alongside Bison’s messy abstraction. https://t.co/06GG8nhYlX
