This debate began after a roundtable conversation on The Hollywood Reporter India where Sabar Bonda director Rohan Kanawade said that the last film that he enjoyed at the theatres was the Hollywood film Sinners, which released in April. Saiyaara director Mohit Suri was obviously shocked hearing this, so he asked Rohan if that was the last film he watched. Rohan explained that he “didn’t get time to watch many …
