A gentle film on an Adivasi woman training AI, the film releases in Mumbai this week, followed by screenings in Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Trivandrum, Jaipur, and Chennai the week after. Excited by this idea of a “micro-community” building for indie cinema in India.

Since MAMI last year, director Aranya Sahay has taken Humans In The Loop to not just festivals, but universities, foundations & cultural centers across the country. This week, it is having a commercial release. Is this a model indie films can replicate?.

Plot hole or plot convenience? Sat through Coolie twice to iron out my questions — and pose some to the film.

But when logic itself begins to feel like an act of faith, plot conveniences begin to feel like plot holes, and what we get is proof of Kanagaraj’s faltered cinema.

Lokesh Kanagaraj has quickly become the lead sculptor of Tamil mass heroism. Gearing up for Coolie, wrote a guide to his filmography—where to begin, what to skip, where to pause.

Does ‘Saiyaara’ revive Hindi romance? A narcissist musician falls for a lyricist with Alzheimer’s—love battles memory, vanity, and modernity. Can Bollywood still move us?

Dhadak 2 is powerful, and makes some fascinating, provocative deviations from Pariyerum Perumal. Spoke to Shazia Iqbal the writer-director and Rahul Badwelkar, the co-writer about their vision, censorship, and that primal scream in the climax.
