Muramba


Muramba is a Marathi movie available on Netflix. It stars Sachin Khedekar, Mithila Palkar, Amey Wagh and Chinmayi Sumit.

Alok and Indu have been dating for years and are on the verge of getting engaged when they break up. Alok's parents are concerned. The movie is about Alok narrating to his parents the differences between him and Indu and why they broke up over a period of one day.

It is funny and sweet and brushes against some serious issues but does not delve deeper into them.
Loved it. I would highly recommend this flick.

Lolita

Lolita, written by Vladimir Nabokov, is an epic. It was published in 1955 and is ahead of it's times, even today. But the way it has been written is brilliant. Very few books can match up. This will probably the best book I read this year. The book is about a 12 year old Dolores who is called Lolita by Humbert. Humbert is a pedophile. Sure, he has a backstory to justify it.

How does a rapist get his victim to give in to his demands and never tell anyone. How does he control another human being?  Nabokov hardly talks about Lolita. We only hear about her from ...

MAMI 2016

I have been scouting recommendations on the internet and watching good movies screened at MAMI last year. Here are the ones I have seen yet. Will keep updating them in this post so it's easier to access. An Insignificant Man   Language : Hindi  Available for viewing on Youtube. This documentary was screened at MAMI last year and was quite popular. I couldn't catch it in the theatres when it released this year but now it is available on Youtube. Arvind Kejriwal's arrival in politics is very significant in the country. The way he brought Delhites to the streets and banded them together against corruption is nothing short of a revolution. He brought people hope and made them realise there is an alternative to two options- BJP and Congress that were available until then. Whether you like him or hate him, you can't ignore any of this. Do catch it. The Similars (Los Parecidos)  Language : Spanish Available for viewing on Netflix. It is set in the 1960s when ...
