. @SightSoundmag is celebrating 1975, an year of extraordinary cinematic brilliance at global level- India too has one entry in these great movies. Is it an easy choice. I guess, yes. Sholey phenomenon remains unsurpassed.

'Stolen' and 'Afwah' back to back. Scary in a primal way. A feel for safe world is such a priceless and fragile achievement. Stolen' is a no compromise, no apology relentless movie. I liked 'Don't Look Up' and 'Civil War' too. Hope things keep making sense for few more years 😄

Whenever age seems to take over your abilities to think, create, write or even feel, common wisdom says challenge yourself to get back the groove. I prefer the familiar. Going back to a guru like @ebertchicago is sure shot way of getting reacquainted with the joy and your skills

Legendary photographer and photo journalist Sebastião Salgado passed away on 23rd. @FTIIOfficial remembered him with his son Juliano and Wim Wender’s documentary on Sebastião “The Salt of the Earth”. A moving experience of bearing witness to the horrors and beauty of humanity.

GOAT - for me Gavaskar Always. Ours is a Gavaskar Amitabh generation. “Gavaskar ki century ho gayi?” was the normal question during radio commentary days.

Watched Chaitanya Tamhane’s The Disciple on @NetflixIndia . Such a sublime pleasure of storytelling in its most accessible form without losing any depth. Performances, coherence, intelligence, structure shine through. Mighty chuffed- undestood most of it without subtitles ☺️
