You’ve spent over two decades shaping public narratives. What has been the most defining moment of your career so far?

I’ve always focused on upgrading my skills, and many moments have contributed to my journey. But the most defining moment was when Anuj Saxena entrusted me with his personal PR work — that’s when my career in public relations truly began. Another major milestone was working with producer Rajan Shahi on Sapna Babul Ka… Bidaai, followed by Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. Then came iconic shows like Mahadev, Mahabharat, Bhabi Ji Ghar Par Hai!, and Anupamaa. Each project has been a meaningful chapter in my professional evolution. Handling two films Aloo Chaat (Aftab Shivdasani and Aamna Shariff) and Chase (Anuj Saxena and Udita Goswami) and handling Red Chillies TV Shows Ghar Ki Baat Hai (Juhi Babbar’s TV debut) and Simi Garewal’s India’s Most Desirable was a big high professionally.

In the heap of banalities that Hindi cinema has become a staple of, Rishab Seth’s “Dhoom Dhaam” (2025) fails to distinguish itself. This heist caper is indulgent, sloppy, and lacks a grip on itself to orchestrate its barrelling events, all of which unfold within a small window of time. This exigency is crucial to the design of the film. But it jars in leaning into it, reluctant to sprawl into the wildness inherent in the narrative spirit.

Yami Gautam Dhar and Pratik Gandhi play Koyal and Veer, trundled into an arranged marriage. They haven’t even got the time to build an acquaintance. The astrologer suggests a quick marriage within two weeks of the families’ first meeting otherwise they’d have to wait two more years, going by the auspicious charts. All hell breaks loose on the wedding night. Two men show up in their hotel room, demanding the couple return ‘Charlie.

At a superficial level, the film is about newlyweds Koyal (Yami Gautam Dhar) and Veer (Pratik Gandhi), who find themselves in a soup on their wedding night when two gangsters (Eijaz Khan and Pavitra Sarkar) barge into their hotel room to ask Charlie’s whereabouts. Showing remarkable alacrity, Koyal turns the tables on them as a shellshocked Veer follows her out of the window to escape them. The rest...

Right after graduating from school, the average Indian youth probably used their recently attained freedom to watch A-rated films by going for Delhi Belly. It seemed like the dawn of a new era of Bollywood, where directors, writers, and actors would come together to tell gritty black comedies with relatable characters and slyly comment on the state of the country and its people. Since the Cbfc (popularly known as the Censor Board) came down heavily on the aforementioned movie and Udta Punjab for “polluting the minds of the Indian public,” said era came to an abrupt end. However, the subgenre—where unlucky or relatively innocent people accidentally find themselves in the middle of a giant mess—hasn’t completely run out of steam. In 2020, we got the hilarious Lootcase. 2 years later, Govinda Naam Mera was released. Then in 2024, there was Madgaon Express. And now, joining this list of amusing films,...
