Remember?

#ShaheenBagh was a roaring success and the brave women there showed us how it's done.

I have said this multiple times, saying it again. The NEXT big agitation should be against media houses, starting with Noida film city.

It should be a peaceful sit in protest...
And there should be so many people there in film city, protesting against channels there, and the employees - no matter what they do in these organisations - should face us while going in and coming out, just sitting there, voicing our protest.

We call for accountability.
If they publish crap, they should know there are people right outside to question the shit they published. Vulture editors should know there are people outside, and a lot of them, who could just barge in if they run propaganda. Guests attending bullshit debates should know.

One of my favourites. Didn't get its due then.

Karisma Kapoor and Jaya Bachchan at their absolute best. One of @iHrithik's finest performances. @BajpayeeManoj owned every frame he was in, as usual.

Thank you @Jhajhajha for making this ❤️🔥🙏 and the songs ❤️

Hrithik and Karisma as siblings. Perfect casting 🔥🔥 ImageImage
I've cried by lungs out every single time I have watched #fiza and needless to say I've seen it umpteen number of times. Such frames 👌 #20YearsOfFiza Image

Woman recording this video is Anusree, a resident of Thiruvananthapuram. She started recording this creep after he stared at her for over 5 mins. You can see him approach her car and from what she's saying, he tried to open the back door. Finally, see who comes to rescue! #thread
This is the creep in question. The full video of the incident is here.

instagram.com/tv/CEbZDNWJaBs…

The fellow stares at her four over three minutes in the video itself, approaches the vehicle and tried to open the door of the car. This is serious. He could have harmed her. Image
This was near Statue Junction in Thiruvananthapuram. Around 2.56 PM.

Patriarchal a-holes are shitting in her comments, blaming her (Surprised? Me neither!) and accusing her of "Making a big deal out of this".

Had she not locked her door, anything could have happened.

Late to the party but why aren't people on my timeline NOT going batshit crazy about this EPIC #Batman trailer!

Pattinson owned it with the "I am vengeance" answer and HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, how did they make Colin Farell look like that!
I am obviously a big fan of Nolan's trilogy but I've always thought Bale wasn't great as Batman. In fact, I preferred Ben Affleck as Batman. But now, with this teaser* (sorry, said trailer above) only and only Pattinson for Batman. And damn boy, what music!
I can't stop watching this.

1) Bloomsbury retracting a book they feel they shouldn't have commissioned is not the same as the State banning a book/film.

2) If yesterday's outrage was enough to retract and run, they knew they had blood on their hands.

3) Responsible publishers mustn't further propaganda. ImageImageImageImage
I thought post August 5, 2019 and CAA being passed, and seeing the brave relentless nationwide protests against it, we realised how Indian liberals should drop the sham of ALWAYS being NICE and DECENT and take a fuckin STRONG STAND AGAINST PROPAGANDISTS AND FASCISTS... but no.
Why is it difficult to understand it wasn't a call to ban the book? Outrage was against the very decision to commission propagandists to further a narrative demonising one particular community and being complicit in an event where hatemongers and bigots were given centrestage.

Unpopular #thread on #SushantSinghRajput, #KanganaRanaut, @karanjohar, and #Nepotism coming up.

Apologies in advance. Mute/block/unfollow because it's more of a rant too.

It is just sad that we all have to do this within 24 hours of Sushant's passing but it is important.
Within the first hour of the news breaking, people had started with their conspiracy theories. Some connected it with his former manager's death by suicide last week, others let their imagination run wild. Media bonkers.

He was 34. Gave a big hit in 2019 and a big flop.
Many in Bollywood literally woke up to the news, shocked and sad. Many who seem to have known what Sushant had been working with, felt guilty, possibly for not reaching out to him.

A vulture put out a tweet elaborating how he died and disclosing Sushant was depressed.
