Report to Mother 1986
A very depressing outline of the progression of popular movements in the state looking back from the context of today's politics. The protagonist's disillusion about his role as a part of an intelligentsia that is growing ever farther from the grassroots perfectly parallels his quest of gathering a group of drunk, banal faced comrades through the streets lined with historical achievements of his predecessors to give the news of their "familiar but unidentified" friend's suicide to his mother. Such sincere and socially conscious view of films as "distillation of the ideals of art" hits so hard for someone born in a century of mass commercialisation.

Singham Again 2024
Sanghi slop of the most degenerate variety. This movie is the peak. Beyond this there is nothing but abstract humanoid blobs and loud low pitched sounds enacting the wet dreams of our esteemed prime minister himself. I would not recommend this movie to a rat living in the gutter, except only as a historical case study to showcase how the culmination of decades of commercialization and religious polarization leads to rates of anti intelectuallism not seen since the enlightenment.

Interview 1971
A very explicit attack on modernity and west colonial virtues. This is the first time I actually saw the revolutionary potential of a "postmodern" film. More than just being a rejection of modern conventions, the fourth wall break at the end gave us a whole new pathway for interacting with the story. In being aware that it is a film, it gives itself an opportunity to spell out for the audience the questions it wants to ask. Something about the editing consciously invites you to sit with it, shake hands and listen to what it has to say.
