As India takes on Australia today in the ICC World Cup, and one problem still plagues them: the no. 4 slot. India found no answers in the lead up to the World Cup.

Without proper source material, the series has become a crude impersonation of what it was in the first four seasons.

The world of 'No Fathers in Kashmir' is a small and simple one but encompasses a much bigger, more complex one. The writing and acting, however, aren't without flaws.

The movie is cultural appropriation, plain and simple.

When it released 12 years ago, the radical 'RBD' changed how India saw its youth, and vice-versa. Today, it's hard to image such a film would be allowed to release.

In the last two years, Bollywood has said plenty on the nepotism debate. When will it finally act?

If we want good cinema, its watchdogs must fearlessly call out shoddy scripts and bad acting. However, if they're chasing stars for interviews, film critics will be the first to praise their mediocrity.

It is Lucky, a man who only wanted what we’re all conditioned to want, who is labelled a dangerous criminal in the same league as murderers.

Any revolutionary movement that challenges the status quo generally faces the burden of addressing many factors within it that make it less 'palatable' to those in power.

Throughout its 10 seasons, the popular sitcom is littered with instances of problematic, judgemental behaviour by its characters.

Planning, preparation, and strategy are more important and it is high time they pick up the slack in these departments.

The film is riddled with needless plot devices and nonsensical contrivances any time one sequence needs to lead to another and take the story forward.

The Netflix-original series breaks new ground for Indian TV, but doesn't quite put it on par with the world.

Bollywood confuses the talent of writers, musicians and make-up artists as that of the actors alone.

Indian audience is far more active in demanding accountability from Hollywood than from the Mumbai film industry.

The problem with hyperbole and generalisations is that even the valid points are often rendered invalid.

It's become clear that the league matches carry much more weightage than domestic cricket as far as selection for ODIs and T20Is are concerned.

Players also realise that exorbitant bids come with huge expectations that few players have been able to meet, which then reduces their value.

A well-rounded front.

It is only natural that a lot of celebs feel the need to make their lives seem like a Bollywood rags-to-riches story

Yo, here's a reality check.

This is simply a new wave of Bollywood propaganda.

Captain Cool's biggest strength is that he knows how to accept that he may not be fully in control of the game.

It's all about the long game and has a very high success rate.

It is primarily because of how lopsided the team balance has always been.

The season has seen some exciting finishes already but this one took the cake.

The bigger issue is the abysmally low standard of domestic cricket in India.

Bollywood continues to be a toxic cesspool of pretty much everything that is wrong with the Indian society.
