Dear Sachin, I knew your father very well. He was a man of principles. He would have spoken directly against this injustice and stood up to powers that be.

[Mojo Story @themojostory]

As tensions remained high at Jantar Mantar following the clashes, one small act of kindness stood out. Ajeet, a bhel puri vendor who works near the protest site told MOJO Story he served free Bhel Puri to many protesters after internet services were disrupted, making digital payments difficult. Recalling the previous day's violence, he said he saw people who had been beaten and were visibly distressed. Moved by their condition, he decided to feed them without charging, saying he wanted to help those facing hardship during the protests.

Who Did It Better?

After Satluj released, many viewers drew parallels between Honey Trehan's interrogation sequence and Quentin Tarantino's unforgettable tavern scene in Inglourious Basterds.
Both rely on sharp dialogue, subtle expressions, and silence that says more than words ever could.

Was it a tribute, an inspiration, or just two filmmakers using the same storytelling language?

Who did it better? Honey Trehan or Quentin Tarantino? Comment below!

[Ram Gopal Varma @RGVzoomin]

Just saw SATLUJ and it is not a film , but a deep wound that will never heal. It stirs up the sludge in one of the darkest chapters of our history
This is cinema used as confrontation , where @diljitdosanjh acts with a quiet fury with no chest thumping heroism.. His only weapons are a ledger and a conscience. @rampalarjun adds layers of moral rot in the institutional complicity that feels chillingly realistic

Director @honeytrehan instead of sensationalising the horror unfolds the film like a slow burn investigative thriller through bureaucratic files, cremation records, and hushed conversations
This restraint makes the brutality of the subject matter hit that much harder because it explodes with the force of truth and not exploitation.

The philosophical core of the film about how a democracy devours its own citizens and then tries to erase the evidence is explored without any preachiness and that’s no normal
achievement .
The various issues surrounding its exhibition and publication prove that any art which makes the powerful uncomfortable has done its job, and that is the true purpose of true art , which SATLUJ is .

It is highly courageous essential filmmaking because it unsettles, educates, and lingers . In the times where main stream chases spectacle and popcorn cinema , SUTLEJ shoots out a hard reminder of what cinematic medium can truly achieve when it takes on truth and honesty

SATLUJ is a film that has to be seen , shown, discussed, debated and not ENCOUNTERED like the victims in the film
My appeal to all the powers is , please don’t do to SATLUJ what has been done to JASWANT SINGH KALRA 🙏🙏🙏

TRUTH HITS HARDER when one tries to HIDE IT .

15% of Mumbai's new 130-acre Coastal Road seafront will have ticketed attractions. Why should a corporation profit from public space created with public money? https://t.co/40zbIwmS1o

[Atul Sabharwal @sabharwalatul]

Lack of judgment, delegating instinct, working in remakes and franchises, and blaming some fictional absence of "fantastic" writers and directors. This interview is historic for it's absurdity.

Welcome to Mumbai’s newest flyover worth ₹248 crore. At 750 metres of road, that’s ₹33 lakh a metre.

And it opened this week full of potholes.

The flyover is named after the iconic Mrinal Tai Gore, who spent her whole life fighting so ordinary Mumbaikars got a life of dignity.

After seven years, three cost revisions, and a daily penalty on the contractor - this is all they could come up with to honour her?

But kya karein. This is the standard now under the triple-engine sarkar. Cut the ribbon. Click the photo. Leave the potholes for us. Bajao taali.

[Shridhar V @iimcomic]

Whenever you’re booking a flight to Navi Mumbai Airport, please add ₹2000 to your ticket price, to account for the cab.

What a mess! Insanely expensive cabs, even if you try to book Uber Go thinking it’s slightly cheap, they’re not available & wait time is 45 minutes+ 🫡

⚽💔 “Le robaron al mundo un gusto popular”

El director mexicano Alejandro González Iñárritu lanzó una fuerte crítica contra la organización del Mundial 2026:

«No siento ningún ambiente mundialero. Hay muy pocos partidos en el país, muy pocos partidos en México. Creo que el haber dispersado un Mundial en tres países me parece algo de avaricia de la mafia de la FIFA, cobró tres veces un Mundial.

El haber metido muchos más equipos ya hace una curaduría de calidad, el nivel va a bajar. El costo de los boletos me parece una grosería.

Mi padre, que no tenía dinero, recuerdo en el partido de Argentina famoso (2-1 en Cuartos de Final) contra Inglaterra en el gol de Maradona de "La Mano De Dios", yo fui a ese partido, y para que mi papá me haya invitado quiere decir que él podía pagar ese boleto.

O sea, antes había un acceso, pero ahorita el boleto más barato es de 10 mil pesos o 20 mil pesos, y si quieres llevar a tus hijos es una barbaridad. Le han quitado al mundo un gusto popular que se robaron, y ahora para verlo en la televisión tienes que pagar.

Antes era verdaderamente una celebración de un país orgulloso de ser el que invitaba al mundo, había alegría, un orgullo. Ahora, dividido en tres países, me parece una mala decisión de los que manejan el mundo de los corporativos».

El periodista y escritor Gianni Mina cuenta la historia detrás de esta foto:
《Robert De Niro estaba en Roma para filmar "Érase una vez en América", de Sergio Leone.
Una noche me llamó:
—Gianni, ¿cómo estás? ¿Qué estás haciendo hoy?
—Vamos a cenar, respondí, estoy con Muhammad Ali.
De Niro saltó y dijo:
—¿Con quién estás? Quiero decir, ¿vas a cenar con Muhammad Ali y no me lo dices?
Es mi ídolo de todos los tiempos. Voy a cenar contigo esta noche, Gianni.

— Al cabo de un rato me llamó Sergio Leone, enojado, para decirme que De Niro no podía cenar conmigo, ya que esa noche tenían una reunión importante para definir escenas de la película. Le dije que no tenía nada que ver, que yo solo iba a cenar con Muhammad Ali y que Robert iría también.
Entonces Leone dijo:
—¿Qué? ¿Robert y tú van a cenar con Muhammad Ali y no me invitaron?
Sergio Leone también se sumo a  la cena.

Cuando me estaba yendo el teléfono volvió a sonar, esta vez era Gabriel García Márquez, que estaba en Roma para reunirse con Sergio Leone y De Niro. Se acababa de enterar que la reunión se había suspendido porque había una cena con Muhammad Ali.

Esa noche todos cenamos juntos en el "Checco Er Carettiere" y pasamos toda la noche haciendo preguntas a Muhammad sobre su carrera y sus peleas. Nos lo contó todo. De Niro, Márquez, Leone y yo escuchamos, todos éramos niños otra vez

Roma, 1982

MATRIX, LORD OF THE RINGS, AVATAAR, DUNE, STARWARS, etc.
All films with groundbreaking never seen before VFX.
None spoke about it before the release.
They let the work speak for itself.

They gang-raped a Palestinian so brutally he was hospitalised. They did it on camera. When footage leaked, and the rapists were arrested, Israelis rioted to protect them. They said they had the right to rape. The Israeli lawyer who leaked the footage was arrested. This is Israel.
