I had heard and read a lot about Devdutt Pattanaik’s books but this is the first time I read a book of his. Devdutt Pattanaik’s ‘Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata’ is a masterful retelling of the ancient epic. Absolutely ideal for young people who are willing to read and know the story ofContinue reading “Book Review of ‘Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata’”

Dhurandhar 1 & 2 Review
After watching both the parts I realised even propaganda can be sold and fed to the audience if wrapped in a wrapper of somewhat well crafted filmmaking and engaging performances by the actors. Things I didn’t like : 1. One sided narrative. 2. Propaganda, propaganda & propaganda 3. Rubbish facts stuffed in the name ofContinue reading “Dhurandhar 1 & 2 Review”
Academy of Fine Arts Review
Last time I saw a housefull show of a bengali movie was of ‘Ballabhpurer Roopkatha’ and today it was the much talked about and hyped ‘The Academy of Fine Arts’.

Bell Bottom Review
The feeling of watching a movie at the theatres sitting with a bunch of other people after ages is absolutely inexplicable !!So talking about the movie Bell Bottom doesn’t really dissapoints.

Mismatched Web Series Review
At the heart of the Netflix series Mismatched it’s a cute love story. However, it would have been a much better experience had it explored the peripheral storylines. Mismatched comes at a time when we were craving the warm embrace of familiarity. Set against conversations about first love, femininity, beauty standards, queerness, marriage, career, ambitionContinue reading “Mismatched Web Series Review”
Ludo Movie Review
It’s actually weird how I get a new perspective and information every time I have watched this film till now. Like for example, the use of Bhagwan Dada’s song, O Beta Ji, from perhaps the biggest hit of his career, Albela. After a bit of research I got to know the actor found immense fameContinue reading “Ludo Movie Review”
