  • ‘Animal’ Film Review: Spare Us This Beast

    While ‘Animal’ initially holds the promise of charting a fresh, psychology-driven path for Hindi action movies, it succumbs to the lure of shock value and franchise aspirations.

  • The Unbearable Slightness Of Being

    Milan Kundera’s ability to infuse humour and tragedy, lightness and weight, within the same breath was nothing short of magical. It was as if he possessed a secret alchemy, transforming the mundane into the extraordinary. Despite all odds, he did dare to explore the paradoxes of human existence.

In his early twenties, Godard is said to have already started preparing the ground for his nonlinear storytelling. With every improvisation, his tendency to befuddle his audience kept on escalating.
