Selvamani Selvaraj instills Kaantha with such propulsive force that it is impossible to look away. It's also the most gorgeous Tamil film of the year. The actors take care of the rest. Review, www.ottplay.com/features/kaa...

On omitting desire and a language of excess that stifles The Girlfriend especially in the context of films that came before (June, Gantumoote, Lover, Bad Girl). Wrote about it. www.ottplay.com/features/the...

The Girlfriend & The Quiet Collapse Of Desire
For a film about interpersonal friction between a deeply incompatible pair — where one love-bombs the other into submission — it fails to interrogate

That Aryna-Anisimova match was like a throwback to the best of Vika-Serena matches of yore. Incredible hitting.

I remember Indian Wells 2018 when Anisimova announced herself on the big stage and Osaka won her first title unseeded. It's 2025 and Anisimova beats Osaka for her second (back to back) Slam final!

What stage of postmodern trash is Sabalenka playing a Battle of the Sexes match with Nick Kyrgios and laughing about "kicking his ass". This is all so misguided.

Trust Malayalam cinema to not only take the Yakshi folklore to craft a superhero film but also carve the villain out of the ideal, upright man of the Sang wielding the much touted Hindu culture. Fun! #Lokah

Just saw the Muchova Czech press quote that an ex-boyfriend showed up in the opposite bench during her match and she was startled ("he sometimes show up at events where he shouldn't be"). That's scary and probably something WTA should know.
