    Politics… rare, medium or well done?
    Politics! It’s tackled by our B-town movies..only once in a flu moon. Right now, in Prakash Jha’s Rajniti, the Mahabharat is sought to be adapted to today’s realpolitik.

    Paradigm For Philanthropic Society: Actors turned politicians
    “Paradigm for Philanthropic society” – sounds ambiguous, seems enigmatic. The election season has sprung in the political arena of Indian democracy. The recent announcement of candidates took no one by surprise. Well, quite a paradox. I agree. Abraham Lincoln wouldn’t have dared to define democracy if he had any miniscule foresight on democracy being violated...

Personally, it simply stands for the views of an individual about political issues. And any cinema that aspires to be political must express such views or better explain, debate...

    Why we love vigilante justice and ‘Mcidealism’?
    For a generation brought up on sms poll as the ultimate tool of democracy (there’s an Abhishek Bachchan ad for a mobile service provider which reinforces this notion), politics is a distant spectacle.
