As it happened several times in the past, my participation and coverage of Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI)’s annual media convention, FRAMES, began with accreditation/registration blues. There was no reply to the online form submission. Assuming that it was too late now to consider going there, I was surprised to find a WhatsApp voice message on my phone, sent at 6.22 am and viewed at 9.20 a...

Guess what Jack Black has been up to, and no, not another blockbuster Minecraft kind of movie... this time he's returning to what he loves most, music. During the 90's Jack was big on the music scene in a place called Silver Lake near Griffith Park in Los Angeles. He frequented clubs like Spaceland and all the indie venues where the actual working rockers go before hitting the big time. Well, now he's Executive Producer on filmmaker ...

Kantara, A Legend, Chapter 1: All’s well that ends in a Well
How many times can you scream out long war-cries in a film that is 168 minutes long? Theoretically, maybe around 2,520 times. Kantara, A Legend, Chapter 1 does not clock anywhere near that number, hovering, most probably, around a mere 252 times. That shows consideration and sympathy for your tympanic membranes, aka ear-drums. In between, it lets out a barrage of voice overs, dubbed dialogue (I saw the Hindustani version of th...

Sunny Sanskari ki Tulsi kumari, Overview: Funny Kalamkari ki Bhari shikari
Okay, so you need to look up the word ‘kalamkari’. No, you don’t. I will do the needful. ‘Kalamkari’ is a form of printing designs on cloth. And if you tell me you don’t know what shikari and funny mean, it is not funny! So, who or what is funny? Sunny (proper noun) is. And where is the ‘kalamkari’?
