  Superboys of Malegaon 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 01 Mar 2025

  Grover can pull back on nostalgia baiting a little I think. Plus I wanted to see the original clips more. 

  The Supermen documentary had a greater sense of levity / humor, which Grover saps for sappiness. Nevertheless, it made me remember Malegaon again, and that’s all that should matter.

  Ask the Sexpert 2017

  ★★★½ Watched 17 Jun 2020

  The rating is primarily for the sheer joy of knowing about this person, and his work (and not so much for the form of the film itself).

  The film also tries to talk about Paritbha Naithhani (and her conservative standpoint ), with a slightly antagonistic lens. But it doesn't stay with her long enough, thankfully though (which I didn't feel like hearing about going further).

  But, a fun ride overall. And it feels rather unfair that a nation of billions remains deprived of something essential and so human; how far can tiny 90 year old man can go.

  Animal 2023

  ★★★★ Rewatched 03 Dec 2023

  From majoritarian myths (Ramayanas) to K3Gs to Animals, the core desires of the Indian man seem to be the same since long - a return to home, an acceptance of the bride, an approval and apology from father.
  It permeates our stories - musical or violent.
