Why Pahalaj Nihalani is Absolutely Right in banning “Lipstick Under My Burkha”…..
I wonder why people are outraging so much over the CBFC ban on “Lipstick Under My Burkha”. This is perhaps the first time that I COMPLETELY AGREE with Pahlaj Nihalani and his views on this ban. Infact the CBFC has given the reason in such a succinct manner that they are almost irrefutable….
Jolly LLB 2 ….. A Movie Review
* * Have you watched Jolly LLB? Did you love that Arshad Warsi movie?? Then I would recommend that you dont watch Jolly LLB 2. While the first movie was a witty and satirical take on the Courtroom proceedings with an expose on how the “Kanoon Vyavastha” progresses in India, Jolly LLB…

Is the beat of the Jingoistic Drums drowning the sounds of everything else around us?
The last few weeks have been nothing but the beating of jingoistic drums, with entire India dancing to its tune. So much so that we have stopped thinking about anything else, but that.

Pink …… A Movie Review
*** Shoojit Sircar’s Pink tries to take on the misogynistic mindset of the Indian society and highlight the importance of consent while having sex.
