It’s time to officially recognize the arrival of Gen 21. The first mast mast batch of writers in Bollywood. Ironically many find a place to stand in this busy bazaar because of Ram Gopal Varma, whose script sense seems to have gone for a toss...

You will be glad to know that this “someone else”...
You start to uncork the champagne. One of the top actors of our times has come out with his first directorial venture in the land of cinema. Naseeruddin Shah, despite his many lows, is still a powerhouse, a library, a school of acting in himself.
The credits start rolling and I rush out to the men’s room. Do the required thing.
