“Celebrate the cockroach,” said Salman Rushdie, and “I am a mama cockroach,” Mira Nair said, both to loud cheers and claps around the room. 🪔

His name, correctly and fully spelled, is Saeed Akhtar Mirza, not Syed Mirza.
From the protest site: Comrade Brinda Karat salutes veteran filmmaker Syed Mirza, who came to the protest in his wheelchair. “I couldn’t stay at home when young people are fighting to save democracy,” he said.

Enjoyed talking to Gurvinder Singh about his latest film, Rehmat. Why he sticks to a niche, when he could be aiming wider. And his experience of doing two of the hardest things for any indie filmmaker: raising finance, and finding distribution. frontline.thehindu.com/inter…

In Jaspal Bhatti's film 'Mahaul Theek Hai' (1999). Billu Bakra, a rookie gangster, keeps telling media and police that he has killed a man, but the police sends him to lunatic asylum instead of jail as they have solved the case already. #DelhiProtest youtu.be/uaXRvyYA4qI?si=Pvwv…

The film was a satire in true Jaspal Bhatti style after a decade of disappearances and extra judicial killings in Punjab.

Allow me to tell you what exactly happened after BJP-protected goon Swatantra Bhardwaj's attack on Dalit man Sanjay at our Jantar Mantar protest: - Sanjay ji's skull was cracked open. The wound dimensions were of such great size that it obviously warranted an Attempt to Murder charge in the FIR (Section 307 of IPC). - The Police refused to add that charge. - This Section would've led to his immediate arrest as it is a cognizable and non-bailable offence. - To avoid this arrest, the Police flat out refused to add this Section. - We asked that at the moment, the "grievous injury" section be added (Sec 326) which would also lead to his immediate arrest. - DCP Sachin Sharma, ACP Ajay Sharma flatly refused. - Not just this, they told us on our faces "go get a court order"! - The expert medical opinion has still not been received by us. - The other gang members who were accomplices of Bhardwaj have also not been identified so far, despite several of them making reels immediately after the attack and threatening Sanjay's minor daughter Nishu openly. - Now Bhardwaj openly flaunts of Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra pressuring the Police to release him from the Police Station and not to add any strict sections that can lead to his arrest! So tell us why should Mishra not be made an accomplice in the FIR since he illegally interfered with the course of justice? Why should he not resign for protecting gang members and abusing his office? Does BJP's leadership support this?

"My grandparents had moved from Pakistan to Delhi. I knew about religious identity, the consciousness of being uprooted. With Rehmat, I am trying to imagine what it must have been like for those who had to leave," says Gurvinder Singh. scroll.in/reel/1094896/gurvi… By Nandini Ramnath

Rehmat, a Punjabi film by national-award winning director Gurvinder Singh, has won accolades at Swiss film festival, but remains ignored in Punjab. Interestingly, Punjab government official Jaswant Singh Zafar has made his acting debut at age of 60 in Rehmat but the govt or Punjabi film industry is yet to acknowledge this thoughtful cinematic work, also featuring veteran Naseeruddin Shah. Is Punjabi cinema all about those loud, flashy, cheap comedies? #Rehmat #PunjabiCinema #films indianexpress.com/article/ch…

The smartphone and the photo-sharing platform increased casual access to famous people; envy; filter bubbles without guardrails on obsessive behaviour. The end of traditional media decreased mediation. Hyper-celebrity is a form of hyper-politics.
Why is stan culture so toxic now? What is the social and psychological mechanism happening there? I’m genuinely curious.
