My thoughts on Kitty Green's feature film 'THE ASSISTANT'. The first and most crucial film about America's 'ME TOO' movement.

Television cameras hounding a devastated father like hyenas as he goes to visit his son, news anchors claiming that Aryan Khan lodged in the same jail as Ajmal Kasab. A country that looks the other way through mob lynchings and murders by those in power has found its villain
Orson Welles: “I want to give the audience a hint of a scene. No more than that. Give them too much and they won’t contribute anything themselves. Give them just a suggestion and you get them working with you.” #screenwriting
All episodes are edited now. Music recorded. We start grading the picture tomorrow to make me look beautiful. So that takes fucking ages. The dog is perfect already. #AfterLife3
If 'Toofaan' disappointed you and you have lost hope for an innovative sports film. Check out @beemji 'Sarpatta Parambarai'. An exhilarating experience.
Should be discussed taught in schools if only as an alternate point of view to the urban “growth “circus that pervades our thinking .Has inspired and given an alternate model to thousands of young people who were bereft of a guide who could show them the their own country .
Ye "wholesome" kya hota hai.
Kaddu ka halwa khaaya—Wholesome. Khidki se hawa aayi—Wholesome. Meme dekh ke hanse—Wholesome. Picture dekh ke roye—Wholesome. Har cheez wholesome kaise ho jaati hai. Insaan ki life mein ek hi emotion bacha hai kya—Wholesome. What about Gham Hi Gham?
Anubhav Sinha's filmography moved from Islamophobia to Caste Atrocity to Domestic Violence.
Amit Masurkar's seems to have moved from Adivasis + Dalits to Feminism + Wildlife + Adivasis. I suppose this is the 'nuance' some people been searching for. (1/2)
Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for. #screenwriting
Students from marginalised communities shouldn't ask for voluntary public donations to fund their higher studies.
They should go the more socially accepted route of inventing a time machine & being born in families with social+financial capital for securing a bank loan easily.
On the 20th anniversary (!!) of LAGAAN, I wrote about how the famous underdog film released at a time - and in a nation - where cricket was the real underdog.
(At long last, my own gully cricket career makes its writing debut)

Lagaan completes 20 years of release today. The mesmerising experience of watching it as an 8 year old at Sheila theatre in Paharganj, Delhi is the prologue of my own life. The boisterous images of a dark hall turning into a cricket stadium will stay with me forever. @agppl
Was happy to address the @G7 Session on Open Societies as a Lead Speaker. Democracy and freedom are part of India's civilizational ethos, and find expression in the vibrancy and diversity of India's society. https://t.co/Tjw5vPcGxr
