Take a bow @AisiTaisiDemo for an amazing show at Chandigarh tonight. Both the idea and the implementation were stellar. @varungrover brought the house down.

The promo looked intriguing and somewhat reminiscent of Gone Girl. The first 30 mins are a drag with the cool girl being too try hard. It’s become a lot smoother since Blake L has disappeared from the proceedings. #ASimpleFavour.

Not sure if Amitabh is weighed down by his costume, or his age. Most probably it’s the character he’s been saddled with. #ThugsofHindostan.

This movie may still have saved some face were it not for the climactic 80s villain’s lair dance of avenging rage / commonwealth games opening ceremony / Katrina’s abs spectacle mash up. #ThugsOfHindostan.

Amitabh Bachchan claimed to be a farmer and Firangi says ‘lagta hai aapke kisan hone pe kisi ko yakeen nahi’. Most meta laughter I’ve had this year. #NowWatching #ThugsOfHindostan.

Jackson and Ally's first meeting/flirtation in #AStarIsBorn is a lesson in consent in these #Metoo times. He asks her permission to touch her nose, hold her hand, peel off her eyebrow (I promise this makes sense in the movie); and it is not any less sexy or romantic because of it.

The #ManikarnikaTeaser is underwhelming but the thing that really gets to me is getting the son of Harivansh Rai to slightly but sufficiently misquote Subhadra Kumari Chauhan’s poem.

Of all the Make My Trip adverts with Alia and Ranveer, the only credible and relatable thing is Gattu’s fascination for the sirke wala pyaaz.

“Do you think he is able to hold the pain of this country and repair it? That is the work of justice. The way justice works is to recognise hurt, to take responsibility for it and then begin to repair it”.
WOW -- CNN shows a sexual assault victim absolutely shredding @JeffFlake for announcing he'll vote for Kavanaugh. "You're telling all women that they don't matter, that they should just stay quiet because if they tell you what happened to them you are going to ignore them."
