Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyon Aata Hai
Firstly, classics – and this one claims to be an official remake of the 1980 Saeed Mirza original – are to be left well alone. Secondly, one wonders why this has been tagged as the ‘official remake’. There are few, if any, similarities – the essence of the two films being the angst and the […]
THE TASHKENT FILES
Fifty-three years may not be a long time to reopen a case involving the — mysterious, no doubt — death of India’s second Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. That he was grossly underestimated and has been almost obliterated from public memory is borne out with the film repeatedly reminding us that though he too was […]

Film Review: ROMEO, AKBAR, WALTER
No prizes for guessing why, but films on politics, national fervour and patriotism seem to be the flavour of the season, and the rule rather than the exception. RAW (Research and Analysis Wing), the abbreviation of the film’s title, begins with black-and-white frames of an agent being brutally tortured in an ISI detention cell. Mercifully, […]
Film Review – THE LEAST OF THESE: THE GRAHAM STAINES STORY
The brutal killing of Australian Graham Staines, along with his two young sons Philip (10) and Timothy (6) in Odisha, allegedly at the behest of a political party and because of forced conversions and those done through inducements, had rocked the nation — and caused a backlash worldwide — back in 1999. Two decades later, first-time […]
Film Review – GONE KESH
Going… going… gone! It’s literally a hair-raising experience when the departing substance refers to a female’s tresses, which, in some cultures and societies, is her most treasured asset. ‘Gone Kesh’ is a bold subject, especially when one realises that an almost two-hour film is woven around such a delicate subject. Enakshi Dasgupta (Shweta Tripathi), who lives […]
Film Review – JUNGLEE
For cinegoers of another generation, ‘Junglee’ is reminiscent of the 1961 and 1971 classics (Junglee and Haathi Mere Saathi) of two yesteryear superstars. But Vidyut Jammwal is neither Shammi Kapoor nor Rajesh Khanna and Sameer Uddin is neither Shankar-Jaikishen nor Laxmikant-Pyarelal. Having got the basic equation out of the way, let’s have a look at […]
