Loneliness is the gap between wanting to be known by someone, and others trying to know you - but some space is just left empty, you know?
Isolation, lack of a social network, and an unfulfilling work and home environment can be incredibly lonely. But loneliness is not always loud. Sometimes, the loneliest moments can be in full rooms and tight friend groups.
Here is to people who not only hear us, but listen intently. You make the world a less lonely place.

Did you know that this film, which is inspired by the real-life criminal Bunty, ironically went on to fuel a new wave of crime IRL?!
Israr, an ambitious car thief, took a page straight out of Abhay Deolâs playbook in the movie â and stole 180 cars in a year! Using the latest tech, he made it nearly impossible to trace the vehicles, fulfilling âordersâ for cars just like a seasoned professional.
His method was chillingly similar to the on-screen tactics, proving that sometimes, life doesnât just imitate art â it escalates it.
Anyway, if Oye Lucky Lucky Oye released today - would it be a hit or a miss? Tell us in the comments!

What is Rashomon Effect?
âWe are our memory...
...that pile of broken mirrorsâ, mused philosopher Borges.
These fractured memories create narratives that are often incomplete, leading us to question what is real.
âThe Rashomon Effectâ reveals the slippery nature of truth and memory. First introduced in Akira Kurosawaâs 1950 film Rashomon, this concept explores how multiple people can witness the same event yet recall radically different versions. The effect highlights the subjective and fragmented nature of human memory â we absorb only a fraction of reality, and what we remember is shaped by our own perceptions.
In films like Talwar too, the truth remains elusive as each perspective offers a different piece of the puzzle. Kurosawaâs legacy lives on, reminding us that what we call âtruthâ is often a reflection of our own memories.

Itâs okay to not be okay by Lara Dutta
Send this as a reminder to someone!
Itâs a moment for you to pause and reflect. Strength isnât about perfection; itâs about embracing our flaws and releasing the pressure to always be flawless. You can be successful, powerful, and resilient, all while allowing yourself to feel how you feel.â¤ď¸âđŠš

The Art of Storytelling: Understanding Representation and Voice
In EP04 of #FilmsAndSocialChange in collaboration with Film Companion Studios, we tackle the critical issue of representation and explore the question: Who gets to tell whose stories in films? Delve into the ongoing debate about authenticity, cultural appropriation, and the importance of diverse voices in the film industry. Discover how representation in cinema shapes our understanding of different communities and influences societal norms.
We examine the impact of filmmakers telling stories outside their own experiences and the significance of empowering underrepresented groups to share their narratives. Through case studies and expert interviews, we highlight both the challenges and successes in achieving authentic representation on screen.

When did movies start having trailers?
Iss hafte on #PopCulturePatrol, in a very âyeh toh sirf picture tha, TRAILER abhi baaki hai mere dostâ moment, @civicstudios aur main aapko uss time ki baat batayenge jab movie trailers shuru huye the.
Nils Granlund ne unknowingly film marketing ko revolutionise kiya jab woh MGM Studios ke to-be-founder Marcus Loew ke saath kaam karne lage. Loew itna impress ho gaye Nils se, that unke saare films ki trailers ka kaam Nils ko saunp diya. Nils phir Charlie Chaplin ke filmon ke trailers bhi banane lage!
In fact, 1980s and 1990s mein log cinema halls BAS trailers dekhne jaate the, aur uske baad theatre se nikalte the! Toh inhe âevent trailersâ maana gaya.
Kitni mazedaar baat hai ki humare film trailers ki bhi ek kahaani hai - and kaise woh ab film marketing ka khaas hissa hai!
Aapki favourite film trailer kaunsi hai? Comments mein batao.
