I, Poppy

‘I, Poppy’ Review: Labour, Dissent, and the Weight of Inherited Choices 

by Dipankar Sarkar

What distinguishes I, Poppy from many contemporary documentaries on agrarian distress is its refusal to offer a final reckoning or closure.

Breakdown: 1975

‘Breakdown:1975’ Review – When Films Reflected a Fractured America

by Dipankar Sarkar

The film dazzles in fragments, rarely allowing the viewer to step back and comprehend the full shape of the era it depicts.

Calorie

‘Calorie’ Review: A Gentle, Felt Study of a Family Learning to Mend

by Dipankar Sarkar

Calorie may not have the tidiest structure or the sharpest dialogue, but its emotional integrity is unmistakable.

Secret of a Mountain Serpent

by Dipankar Sarkar

Secret of a Mountain Serpent shapes a layered experiential universe, evocative in mood and detail, and offers a richly imagined exploration of desire and displacement.

The Family Man

by Dipankar Sarkar

The Family Man Season 3 may lean on familiar structures, but its performances, craftsmanship, and political ambition keep it compelling.

Mr. Scorsese

‘Mr. Scorsese’ Review: A Life in Frames

by Dipankar Sarkar

The docu-series may not tell us much we didn’t already know, but it reminds us why his story still matters, for at its core it is a story of survival, both artistic, moral, and human.

Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1

‘Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1’ Review: Myth, Power, and the Pulse of the Forest

by Dipankar Sarkar

Kantara: Chapter 1 does not carry the same emotional force as its predecessor, offering grandeur where intimacy is missed.

Shape of Momo

‘Shape of Momo’ Review: The Measure of Survival

by Dipankar Sarkar

Shape of Momo is a quietly powerful meditation on womanhood, family, and the invisible structures that shape our existence.

The Fable

‘Jugnuma – The Fable’ Review: Between the Tangible and the Transcendent

by Dipankar Sarkar

The Fable is a carefully woven meditation on continuance, desire, and transcendence.

Coolie

Review: ‘Coolie’ and the Enduring Aura of Rajinikanth
