Film Review: PINK

After the Brock Turner scandal, in which a rapist served only three months of his six months sentence, it was fitting and somewhat comforting to see the film PINK.

Given India's usually conservative stance in the social realm, I wasn't sure what to expect. Certainly rape is considered a crime, but I wasn't sure how the victims would be seen. Would we hear common excuses - "Her clothes were skimpy" or "She was too flirty"? Yes, this was touched upon. But gratefully there was also the resounding "No means no".

Why You Should Watch Baahubali: The Beginning

One of the most popular films of the year, S.S. Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Beginning, is a definite must see. Rajamouli mentions the comic retelling of Indian folktales, Amar Chitra Katha as a major influence – and it's very evident in the film itself. This immersion into Indian folk-tales and mythology creates an exciting epic tale.
