A film of mine is going to be screened in a cinema for the first time!

I was moved to receive an email recently that said my film had been selected for a showcase called Film as Therapy: fitting that the aforementioned film was one I had made to give myself the present of hope.

@udani09 might soon become the most common name after Rahul and Ramesh

@IdyllicOdics @letterboxd The diya-sciple will soon overtake the master at this rate

[Gunjan Mukherjee @Gunjanx]

Milestone achieved. Adding it to my CV.

The world is changing too fast, sometimes it's hard to recognise it.

But some things still don't change: I went for a haircut and they were playing Kumar Sanu songs.

Movie idea: One of Odysseus' men goes vegan and becomes the first animal rights activist after his brief traumatising experience of being turned into a pig

@artwithinpod It's like that scene in The Dark Knight Rises when Batman comes to John Blake's rescue and Joseph Gordon Levitt also looks at him with similar awe

[Gunjan Mukherjee @Gunjanx]

@UnderstanderArt I myself was unsure how to feel about it the first time - let's see how I feel on a rewatch. Did you think it's in a way similar to the end of Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven?

@youknow_q That character who says "have we started the fire" is there for only a few seconds but left quite an impression

[Gunjan Mukherjee @Gunjanx]

@BilgeEbiri Was wondering what we're supposed to think of the final fight. While one could say the suitors had it coming, it was also slightly odd to have it right after that whole speech - which made me think of Unforgiven and how we feel about that protagonist

@Lulamaybelle She definitely has the mother's instinct

[Gunjan Mukherjee @Gunjanx]

@Darren_Mooney The Odyssey has a very strong TDKR connection

[Gunjan Mukherjee @Gunjanx]

The Dark Knight Rises x The Odyssey (spoilers without context)

@JeremyWingert79 That's a big reason why I wanted to have kids - to show them great movies 😄

[Gunjan Mukherjee @Gunjanx]

@noahgittell Makes sense, that's on brand with this platform

[Gunjan Mukherjee @Gunjanx]

@SonnyBunch His name alone has insane pull. The peak was when I saw people here in Mumbai turn up for 7 AM screenings of Oppenheimer - a 3-hr movie about a physicist, intensely talky, partially in black and white - don't think any other director right now could convince audiences like him
