‘Anaarkali of Aarah’ is a debut film by director Avinash Das. It is a new release and is still on in a host of cinemas in Delhi NCR. Watch for yourselves and women in your life. They deserve it.
La La Land has swept the BAFTA. There can’t be any question regarding it’s quality and we thoroughly enjoyed this romantic musical. For the story as well as the fact that we were watching a musical after quite a while.
“Ae Dil Hai Mushkil “, Karan Johar’s Diwali release faced a lot of mushkil before reaching the theatres. It was embroiled in needless politics and we are happy that sanity prevailed eventually. The trailer looked nice and the pre release songs were being watched by every person on every device. We had loads of anticipation from this film.
There are films and films. And some of them become must watches. Pink is a must watch/ Not only for its cinematic qualities but also for the theme. It conveys a message. But not without treating the audience to an edge-of-the-seat plot.
An odd off-beat event is always fun. Therefore, when we were invited to Face Off – the Fashion Show and Convocation of Aashmeen Munjaal’s Star Hair and Makeup Academy, we attended. The star studded line-up, the models parading in elaborate attires and heavy make up and the high tea made the evening a huge success.

The four day Iranian film festival that the Directorate of film festivals, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting organized at Sirifort Auditorium celebrates the long history of cultural sharing between India and Iran. Iranian cinema has a documentary feel to it. Bereft of any effort to window dress or glamourise a plot, sets or casts, it is an authentic portrayal of the lives, dreams and aspirations of the average Iranian. We therefore find Iranian films most alluring.

The summer vacation is still on in Delhi NCR. Disney – Pixar could not have worked out a better timing for releasing Finding Dory. Directed by Andrew Stanton and Angus MacLane it is a sequel to Finding Nemo. While we shall always turn gooey when thinking about that one, Finding Dory also is all in all an enriching experience.
Film festival bring forth a plethora of productions that we would not have come across otherwise. In the recently concluded Habitat Film Festival, we watched a bunch of films, some of which, we didn’t know existed. “Jugni” is one such film that went unnoticed last year.
The much published Bengali film Praktan was released last week. It is running in many multiplexes in Delhi – Gurgaon – Noida etc. The film has great camera work, nice music, English subtitles and very little Bengali hangover. This foresight smoothens the process of connecting with the world audience.
The trailer of Nil Battey Sannata was encouraging and we were looking forward to watching this film. Given that this was a story without romance / action / typical song-dance sequences, we were not confident that it would run very long at cinemas. So, we watched it soon after its release in a 30% occupied auditorium in Gurgaon. Actually, that’s not so bad. Even if some audience turn up for experimental films, the going is good.
