Shadow Assassins, Review: If ULFA cannot get you, SULFA will
India’s north-eastern state of Assam has always been a hotbed of militancy. Here is an excerpt from a 27 January 2022 report published in Outlook, by Nitin A. Gokhale

Life is Good, Review: Is it?
A sweeping statement, to be sure. Life has its ups and down and is good to some people while not so good to others. To the central character in Life is Good, Rameshwar, played by Jackie Shroff, life has been rather bad, on the whole. So, bad, in fact, that he contemplates committing suicide at least twice. Yes, there is a long period in between when he finds love in an unlikely quarter, but like the tagline of LG (Lucky Goldstar) Electronics, ‘Life’s G...
Vadh, Review: Some people deserve to be killed
Taking the law into your own hands and getting away with crimes is becoming a recurring thread in Indian cinema. On the heels of one such film, Drishyam 2, comes another murder story, where the audiences’ sympathy lies with the protagonist, who, a law-abiding citizen otherwise, is pushed beyond his limits of tolerance, and ends up killing a man and disposing off his body. Whereas some schools of thought may ascribe to the theory that crime ...

River of Desire by Sérgio Machado (Brazil): World premiere at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, official competition
Review by Lopa Kaul
While films made with the principle of art for art’s sake are all well and good, River of Desire not only gives us a story that engrosses the viewers but also sends a very important message without being too didactic as it also makes the Amazon rainforest a character, a living breathing element that should be protected just as much as the ne...
