In this week's episode of our podcast, we delve into the 2005 film "Page 3," a piece that stands out for its unapologetic portrayal of the lives behind the glitz and glamor of Indian high society. Directed by Madhur Bhandarkar, a filmmaker renowned for his commitment to realism in an era dominated by the fantastical elements of commercial cinema, "Page 3" offers a...2024-04-0506 min
The Long TakeJoramJoram, the fourth feature film from director Devashish Makhija, juggles multiple tones and narratives. But is it successful at it?
We discuss Manoj Bajpayee’s mostly silent central performance as a displaced tribal man running for his life, and the film’s heavy handed socio-political commentary.
We also wonder if the movie would’ve worked better as a tight 90-minute thriller, and point out a worryingly regressive trend in Makhija’s films.

The Long TakeGulmoharGulmohar, the new Disney+ Hotstar family drama, is to Mira Nair’s Monsoon Wedding what Kaante was to Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs—a knockoff that doesn’t really understand what made the original work in the first place.
Overstuffed with characters and subplots, the film wastes talented performers such as Sharmila Tagore and Manoj Bajpayee on poorly written melodrama. We discuss the film’s convoluted plotting, the performances of its ensemble cast, and wonder if it would’ve been any better if it had stuck to the tone of its engaging opening scene.

The Long TakeNetflix’s RayNot all chapters in Netflix’s new anthology series, Ray—starring Ali Fazal, Manoj Bajpayee, Kay Kay Menon, and Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor—are worth watching. But are any of them actually good?
We talk about the uneven quality of the four episodes, how they deviate from Satyajit Ray's short stories on which they’re based, and who among the three directors—Srijit Mukherji, Abhishek Chaubey, and Vasan Bala—fares the best.

News and ViewsReview: Manoj Bajpayee’s ‘The Family Man’ Is Addictive, Engaging
“Desh khatre mein hain” - it’s a sentiment that’s echoed in most web series these days. Terror plans being hatched and security forces trying everything in their capacity to abort them. Amazon Prime Video‘s latest offering The Family Man has a similar plot line. This drill can get a tad drab if not for some genuinely smart writing. Luckily for us, The Family Man doesn’t disappoint us.
Directed by Raj and DK, who have also written it along with Suman Kumar and Sumit Arora, gives us a fresh perspective through which to process officer Srikant Tiwa...2019-09-2203 min
