@kavereeb Thanks for writing this, @kavereeb No one knows the hollow silhouettes, and the occasional brilliance, of Bollywood as well as you do. You can discern more than we can.

"Permission Lena Chahiye Na"

She has been replaced at the last minute. Turned down films that didn't align with her values. Faced the uncertainty of releases. And through it all, refused to play the victim.

In this candid conversation on OPEN Dialogues, @humasqureshi opens up about the setbacks no one saw, the choices that shaped her career, and the realities of surviving in Bollywood.

Episode dropping soon.

Enjoyed talking to young vedang raina, rising star and fellow kashmiri, on his work in #MainVaapasAaunga, going back to rainawari, and learning from his directors.@Openthemag @ApplauseSocial

[Open Magazine @Openthemag]

He never went to acting school. His mother hoped he'd do an MBA. And despite singing in his films, he says he's never been paid for it.

In this episode of OPEN Dialogues, #VedangRaina speaks with @kavereeb about the realities behind the rising-star narrative — navigating expectations, dealing with criticism, understanding box office pressures, reconnecting with his Kashmiri heritage, and learning on the job.

Watch the full conversation.

A new series returns to the double murder that shook Delhi in the Seventies: What makes #Raakh stand out is that, like trial by fire, which focused on the anguish of the Krish Namoorthys who lost their children in the uphaar fire, the series lingers on the happy family the Aroras/Chopras once were, writes @kavereeb https://t.co/zkzWPp0y1p

[kaveree bamzai @kavereeb]

a lovely film, worth watching. @ApplauseSocial #imtiazali @diljitdosanjh

[Sudhir Mishra @IAmSudhirMishra]

There is, in Imtiaz, a certain whimsy. A playfulness, an innocence that survives not because the world has been kind, but because he refuses to believe it is all there is.
What anchors that innocence is belief. A belief that things need not have happened as they did. That we are not living in the best of all possible worlds. That history, however brutal, was not inevitable.
His protagonist loses almost everything, yet he continues to yearn. He yearns for the life that might have been, for the event not to have occurred, for the possibility of another ending. Though he has lived an entire life since, time has passed, and still, as he leaves, he longs.
In that longing lies something larger than one man. It is, in some sense, the yearning of an entire generation.
I do not wish to overstate it, but the film feels almost Marquezian at times. And Imtiaz, I think, possesses a rare gift among us: the ability to find hope without denying sorrow.
Our cinema, too, might have been better had it trusted more deeply in the things he trusts.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I stand by the review, but i will correct the name of the protagonist, of course. All the best in life, as you try to gaslight anyone with an opinion different from yours.

[Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj @DeepikaBhardwaj]

This isn't a movie review but a pathetic personal rant @kavereeb

And a rant arising from such dishonest attempt that you even got the name of the character wrong

It is Samar. Not Sameer

It is not the film which has any mansplaining but your article which reeks of rabid feminism

There's not a word in the movie that generalizes such accusations but for feminists like you anyone attempting to speak for a wronged man should be shut down or given lessons in anger

Your review is a classic example of victim blaming. An obsessed woman makes life of a man hell, falsely accuses him of rape, orchestrates a fake acid attack but all that you could come up with - why would a pretty woman go mad for a struggling man. Sounds pretty much like why would any good looking man rape. LOL.

Just when Twisha Sharma case made headlines, a Judge Aman also killed himself blaming his wife and her family. No one got arrested there but that doesn't bother narrative peddlers who can't stand a cry for justice for men too

Anurag doesn't need anger management lessons. I think you need some serious classes to learn empathy Kaveree

[kaveree bamzai @kavereeb]

Denying credit or being taken to court is not new to the mumbai film industry. Abhishek kapoor took @FarOutAkhtar to court on #rockon2 and farhan was part of #bhaagmilkhabhaag which was written by aditya dhar who got no credit for it. Lack of transparency is endemic in the industry
