Triptii Dimri rose to prominence with her unpredictable role in the critically acclaimed film, Bulbbul. The film, released on Netflix in 2020, was a horror drama that delved into the tales of a supernatural woman in the forest killing men in the night. Additionally, it also follows the story of a child bride and her journey from innocence to freedom. And today, Bulbbul completes five successful years and continues to connect with movie buffs for its empowering story that also blends horror and mystery.

Though Triptii Dimri became a famous face with Animal, she found Bulbbul to be more challenging than the action drama. With a film that was not everyday cinema, Triptii Dimri portrayed the emotional complexities of loss of love, life, and also pulled off scenes by showing the destructive power of female rage. She shared the screen space with the known actor, Rahul Bose, and had earlier revealed...

Subhash K Jha revisits and re-examines Kabir Singh, which starred Shahid Kapoor, six years later in a This Day That Year feature.

When Kabir Singh was released on June 21, 2019, I didn’t realize there could be anything deadlier than Covid-19. How could I? Covid was a good right months away. Regrettably, I praised the film for its gumption and audacity for daring to show its protagonist as a sodden, drugged, zonked out, chauvinistic, sexist pig who doesn’t think before slapping his girlfriend for defending her father, whom Kabir Singh (nee Arjun Reddy) had just insulted.

Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh comes from a place of complete toxicity. He does exactly what he wants, including performing a life-saving surgery in an inebriated condition, predictably killing the patient. This man should have been barred from not just the Medical Association but from being part of any cinematic narrative and discussion.
