*Shahenshah and Bagheera: A Cinematic Parallel of Justice, Masks, and Vengeance.*

Two masked vigilantes. Two eras. Two unforgettable journeys of justice. *Was Bagheera (2024) inspired by Shahenshah (1988)?* The parallels are striking. Shahenshah dazzled with larger-than-life heroics and flamboyant theatrics, while Bagheera grips us with its dark, gritty realism. This in-depth comparison uncovers their shared roots in personal tragedy, contrasting styles, and how they reflect the changing face of heroism in Indian cinema. Dive into the world of masks, vengeance, and justice—an exploration of two tales that define two generations. Read more on the blog!

Echoes of a bygone era... Habib’s soulful Chalte Chalte (Pakeezah) on the sarangi, weaving morning magic at Khimsar Fort. Sunlit notes steeped in nostalgia, casting timeless spells.

শুভ মহালয়া! Subho Mahalaya! 🌿

Somewhere in India, a vast field of Saccharum spontaneum (wild sugarcane, kans grass) sways gently in the breeze, welcoming the arrival of Devi Paksha.

Wishing you all a blessed and beautiful Devi Paksha, filled with the divine feminine energy to guide and protect you. ❤️

Six Years of 'Aaj Rung De'.. 🙌🏼

Discover the power of contemplation through 'Aaj Rung De', a Flicker that captures a relatable moment in time, evoking feelings and meanings through a series of images. The film features a juxtaposition of images, unified by the soulful strains of Amir Khusrow's Sufi song, "Aaj Rang Hai Ri Maa".

This contemplative film explores the acceptance of life, contrasting the brief, unhurried pace of cinematic time with the endless, unendurable lengths of social time.
