Wrote about Don Palathara's Family that premiered at Rotterdam. Incredible, incredible film. Tough to beat this year as far as Indian cinema is concerned

@Nadika yeah. I get what you mean. I wonder if it's by design. The second film is vastly different and sillier compared to the first I felt. But I did enjoy it for what it is. (I watched it in a packed theatre, I wonder if it made a difference).

Literature, art, and music are not indulgences. They are necessities. Even in the toughest of times.

Especially in the toughest of times.

@beastoftraal haha fascinating stories. I started getting a bald spot at 31. Tried many things only for it to get wider. Then pandemic pushed me to shave it all off and go for the look (37 now). Love it and totally comfortable with it now.
