Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And the power to create a cinema that takes the prevalent language of narration into the domain of the dark and unpredictable, is a privilege belonging to some politically savvy filmmakers. Sudhir Mishra tops the list. Tigmanshu Dhulia follows close behind. The manner in which Dhulia brings into foreplay the murky sleazy [...]
“Life isn’t all Haha Hee Hee” as Meera’s Syal’s book suggests, but in Bollywood, the comedy genre has its very own niche and following.

The loving mums, the stable dads, the annoying sisters and the protective brothers; Bollywood films are jam-packed with them. However, in true tradition, these relationships bring with them the trusted grandparents, the aunts, the uncles and the cousins without whom, one has to admit, a big fat Bollywood family would be incomplete. We enjoy the [...]
