I sat down for an exclusive video chat with Akash Singhania, a US based entrepreneur. Speaking directly from the US, what he described is nothing short of a digital horror story. It only took a few minutes of a viral livestream for his entire world to collapse.

If Arturo's in town, chaos is guaranteed. This time, just as we were about to reach our shoot location, the rains played spoilsport. Luckily, even Delhi roads are perfect photo spots 😬
Met up with Money Heist's @enriquearceactor for a special shoot and chat. Out today! Swipe left to see.

Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar: The Revenge was never meant to exist, if one goes by industry whispers. The original vision was a single, sprawling film. Somewhere along the way, just before the release of Dhurandhar (starring Ranveer Singh) last year, the makers sensed something bigger at play. The material had the weight of a saga. The result is what we now have: a three-hour Dhurandhar: Part One, followed by a three hour fifty minute continuation in The Revenge.
Question: was the split justified?

I was about to check in my luggage for a flight from Mumbai, when this shoot fell into place ... and thus I missed the first flight of my life.
Shot with the actor of the moment and the sweetest @yamigautam at her Mumbai residence for a #republicday special 😊🇮🇳

It’s in the second half that Ikkis, a biopic on PVC Arun Khetarpal, truly comes alive, compelling me to bump the rating from 2.5 to 3.5. The reason is simple: Dharmendra and Jaideep Ahlawat. Watching the two share the screen is a pleasure. Sriram Raghavan, along with co-writers Arijit Biswas and Pooja Ladha Surti, crafts moments between them that genuinely move you, especially in the climax. The film overall tells you something unbearable: that our freedoms were bought by people who never got to live theirs. You leave the theatre not uplifted or proud, but hollowed out. And that ache, the kind that sits in your chest long after, is its most devastating triumph.

Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, begins with the Kandahar hijacking of 1999, and things escalate with the Parliament attack in 2001. Hamza (Ranveer Singh) slips into the underbelly of terror networks posing as a Pakistani. The first half spends close to two hours building the world. The pace, though, raises a fair question. The second half shifts gears effectively and the climax delivers the release viewers wait for. The performances by the cast- especially Ranveer and Akshaye Khanna (as Rehman Dakait) are what keep you invested in this lengthy yet loaded espionage drama. Trim thirty minutes and this would have been a knockout. As it stands, it is a sturdy watch.

A meeting with the man behind Umrao Jaan felt like stepping into a classic... only thing missing was a background ghazal!

Gustaakh Ishq, starring Naseeruddin Shah, Vijay Varma, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sharib Hashmi, meanders and sometimes tests your patience, but rewards you with a world that finds its emotional centre. By the time the credits roll, you’re left with a tale that may not sweep you off your feet, but certainly leaves a warm afterglow.

Move over Kabir Singh and Saiyaara, Tere Ishk Mein is here to raise the intensity on every front. All eyes were on Aanand L Rai’s latest film for two reasons. First, it is said to belong to the same universe as Raanjhanaa, a story of obsessive love that dragged its hero to ruin back in 2013. Times have changed since then. Films like Kabir Singh and Animal have pushed the envelope (controversially) on how love is depicted.
Which leads to the second reason. This time, it is the girl who appears obsessed.
And I genuinely did not expect what unfolded on the big screen.
