Just a reminder that my new book on Indian Parallel Cinema was published earlier this year. If anyone is interested in reviewing for any film publication outlets, etc. then please do get in touch; I can share/email a copy for review.

Prakash Raj was the jury chair for the Kerala State Film Awards, and I think his statements and answers to questions (esp. that one about the National Awards, heh) are very much worth a listen: #DesiWatch www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry5D...

I am torn. One the one hand, I can't deny Mammootty was eminently worthy. OTOH, I really wanted to see Asif Ali win. And of course, Feminichi Fathima was only just released theatrically so it will be a while before I can see it (if it comes to OTT, sigh) www.onmanorama.com/entertainmen...

We have a more nuanced take on star/nepo kids on the podcast, and we did three episodes exploring them in Malayalam cinema, including this one with birthday boy Kunchacko Boban. This is a theme we might consider revisiting at some point.
It's the birthday of one of our fave actors, Kunchacko Boban -- so let's revisit an episode we did on star kids where we featured him alongside Prithviraj and Vineeth Sreenivasan. #DesiWatch

This is a podcast I do with @h4hrshaa.bsky.social -- we were on a long break because the world, fire, all that, but we're coming back to further explore Malayalam cinema, and it's exciting to get a mention from an organization we read for the podcast.

I *think* I have a few Toronto friends here -- looking for a good coffee shop/cafe to meet with some friends from Vancouver who are in town. We're in Toronto so rarely I have no idea where would be nice to go. Patio would be nice (I'm still masking cos of health stuff),but anything nice.

I really hate that I've reached the point that I've been watching Indian films for so long that I'm now starting to see the people I "grew up" with start to disappear. #DesiWatch
