A Radiant Masterpiece

This movie doesn't just have its heart in the right place: it's so beautiful that it has more than one heart
“WHY don’t you ever find any joy in Jollywood?” “Why don’t you ever like anything?”—as a film critic, I’ve heard these questions so many times that if I got a rupee for every such insult, I’d be sitting atop a mountain of coins on the day of the Note-Bandi Diwas (that beautiful festival where we only use cash), smoking a cigar made from Rs 2,000 bills, blowing out Swastikashaped plumes, and lamenting: “Man, what a tough life I have” (distant second: Elon Musk). Sorry, that was a long sentence. I’m excited, you see. Because earlier in the day, I watched a movie so bright, so beautiful, so brilliant, that I’m struggling to describe it. Bol ke lab azaad hain tere? Bro, I’ve no words.
Staying true to its name, Chamkila Productions has given us a radiant masterpiece that we both need and want, underscoring everything that’s Very Beautiful about our exceptional, extraordinary country: religious tolerance, gender equality, minority rights, boundless employment, unlimited hugs, and, of course, unfettered free speech.

THIS is a popular poem often shared when anyone talks of the 4B movement in South Korea. The women in this movement boycott the world of men; boycott heterosexual marriage, relationships, sex, and giving birth.

Class and Caste
Caste hierarchies continue to exist in everyday life and across campuses. Due to the persistence of caste in schools and colleges, long believed to be places for upward mobility and rational thought, these institutions end up becoming spaces where questions of \"merit\", cultural capital, language and access-or the lack of thereof-are highlighted and ridiculed. The discrimination persists from Kashmir to Kerala. From delayed degrees and stalled promotions to verbal abuse, professional isolation, and sometimes death, these case studies underscore not isolated instances but a pattern

Writing is Acting by Another Name
My wife spots him first while my attention is focused on the bucket of theatre popcorn (medium, salt and caramel mix). I look up and there he is. Pico Iyer, great travel writer, essayist, novelist, columnist, humanist, and in recent years, friend and correspondent. While the rest gasp when Timothee Chalamet appears in Marty Supreme, we gasp when Pico does.

Aggressive Victimhood Versus Predictable Protests
The current controversy around the UGC regulations is meant neither to promote social justice and equity nor hurt the interests of the dominant castes. It's meant for the two to be at loggerheads and further consolidate their support behind the BJP-RSS combine
