7 Years of Lootera: Why Vikramaditya Motwane’s Period Film Feels Like a Personal Indulgence

In the last seven years, Lootera’s legacy has assumed a life of its own. Now, the film feels so much like a personal indulgence: It wordlessly captures a specific kind of yearning that we often fail to define during the length and breadth of our own lives.

How Low is the Bar Set That Ranveer Singh Gets Labelled Husband of the Century?

It’s been only two weeks but we’ve already declared Ranveer Singh the husband of the year/decade/century/millennium. Why exactly? For helping his wife navigate the pallu of her sari at their wedding reception? Or blowing kisses to her in public?
