'I've seen my films discarded by exhibitors my whole career'
Anurag Kashyap's directorial Nishaanchi, starring Aishvary Thackeray, Vedica Pinto, and Monika Panwar, released in theatres in September.

Never-ending wait for Bihar’s transformation
Bihar has long functioned asa paradox, a transparent enigma. Its ideas market never loses its sheen, and its caste codes refuse to retire. This duality is not incidental. It is woven into Bihar's political evolution. The state’s public sphere has historically allowed sharp ideological contest-ation, yet its political structures return, almost faithfully, to familiar anchors of caste arithmetic, welfarist governance, and a deep suspicion of unregulated economic mobility. The 2025 election recommits Bihar to this older vocabulary, even as its demographic realities press urgently for a new one.
