Film Review: Force-2
The basic eligibility required of a RAW officer is a martial arts degree: sample ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ (2012) and now ‘Force 2’, and that of an ACP the ability to decipher cryptic messages too – that is, if our filmmakers are to be believed. The top brass of RAW is in a quandary when three […]
Film Review: Shut In
The only genuine twist in the film occurs in the opening minutes of the film — three, to be precise — when the car in which the father and 18-year-old son Stephen (Charlie Heaton) are travelling, crashes, with senior dead and junior paralysed.

Film Review: Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them
The second part of the film’s title cannot be answered in a more succinct manner: only in the wizarding world of J.K. Rowling.

The 1886 Trophy: Commemorating 130th Anniversary Of The Gentleman’s Game
The comparative experience of the 1886 tour between the English and Parsee cricketers was note-worthy. Whilst the Parsees had never played international cricket, England had already completed 7 series against Australia by the time the Parsees arrived.

Modi’s Masterstroke!
On 8th November evening, while I was enjoying my kulcha paratha at a Dhaba in Chandigarh, I noticed something wasn’t normal. Few diners had trouble swallowing their food and others had forgotten to chew! After my hearty meal, as I walked up to the cashier to settle my bill with a Rs.1,000 note, I still […]
