X handles changed for my this profiile faster than habits😅
But still Abhi. Still films but now with wandering thoughts. Now with fatherhood, ordinary meals and a life slowly being put back together😍
Some stories are too big to be contained by cinema. #Ramayana is one of them.
Yet #NiteshTiwari manages to bring this timeless epic to the big screen with grandeur sincerity and emotion.
Not without its flaws, but when it finds its rhythm, it's spectacular.
A thread 🧵
Bit late for this post, but legacy media got it dead wrong... GenZ completely flipped the script.
Massive respect to @neha_aisa and the whole team for holding it down with zero compromise.
The energy and determination from @Wangchuk66 sir and @abhijeet_dipke literally woke the entire country up.
Excited to see where Neha and this new generation with a new vision and language take this movement next! ✊
Though I’m definitely going to miss those protest reels on my Insta feed. 🤦♂️
#GenZIndia
Legacy godi media ka kaam ab bas sarkaar ko cover up karna at any cost reh gaya hai.
Teenagers aur students par police brutality hui, peeta gaya, injured hue...saikdon videos hain but...
Instead of asking tough questions, they are busy labeling our youth..
The massive youth turnout at Jantar Mantar proves students refuse to accept systemic failure.
Dissent is democratic right and the government had a duty to listen and act. Instead the police action against peaceful teenagers shows the real face of the government and Delhi Police
Heartbreaking to see citizens have to go to such lengths for future of youth. This isn't about politics. Education should be priority for everyone.
In solidarity with @Wangchuk66 and every protester carrying on their #HungerStrike at Jantar Mantar.

#Assi is definitely not an easy watch... hard to watch and even harder to forget. After Mulk Anubhav Sinha gives yet another a gripping courtroom drama that exposes systemic rot without losing its human core.
What a solid, haunting and powerhouse performances by @kani_kusruti & @taapsee.
@anubhavsinha and @_gauravsolanki story is deeply relevant, necessary and surely an urgent watch.
Don’t miss this!
#ZahanKapoor kicked off last year on a high with Black Warrant and returns this time with the light easy going charm of #Bandwaale.
The series may not boast the most solid writing.. the plot and subplots are good but doesn't look convincing and are misfits actually and often lose grip. Familiar beats, same small town chaos and hopes and very predictable storyline.
Yet, there’s a beating heart that makes it pleasant to watch.
I wasn’t completely drawn in from the first episode. But as the couple of episode progressed, the story found some rhythm and the characters Robo, Psy and Mariam began to grow on me especially Robo Kumar.
Yes, it was a breezy watch for me. But definately, a tighter screenplay and sharper execution could have transformed the experience into something truly special.
#ZahanKapoor and #ShaliniPandey were certainly charming, instantly likable, bringing sincerity to their parts.
However, the real scene-stealer is @swanandkirkire. What a performance... absolutely delightful to watch him perform.
And the songs are good too!

It’s been a while since I walked out of a @nambiarbejoy film this satisfied. #TuYaaMain turned out to be a satisfying theatrical experience. I walked in with almost no expectations. If anything, I was dragged along by my wife and I couldnt have been happier to be proven wrong.
@_GouravAdarsh is exceptional bringing depth to every moment he’s on screen. #ShanayaKapoor, especially considering her shaky debut, comes across as entirely watchable.
All in all, it’s a slick, highly entertaining ride that delivers far more than I had signed up for.

This definitely isn’t vintage @VishalBhardwaj . Not his finest, not the classics... yet I was invested. I couldn’t look away.
#ORomeo is chaotic, overlong, and uneven, but it still pulls you in.
@shahidkapoor is magnetic...bruised, romantic, and absolutely ferocious.
@TriptiiDimri is wonderful, bringing grace and gravity to her part. Loved #NanaPatekar.. his scenes with Shahid are standouts.
In an era of remakes and sequels, this is an original story aiming high. It misses at times, lands at others, but remains consistently engaging.
A flawed, messy poem on screen... undeniably heartfelt. I wasnt completely satisfied but I wasnt heartbroken either.
