‘We weren’t pitching to Netflix merely as a film anymore’

‘We weren’t pitching to Netflix merely as a film anymore’

Published by Webster

For most independent filmmakers, the dream is not merely making a film, but ensuring it reaches an audience. Imagine our surprise when Nukkad Naatak appeared on Netflix last Friday morning. The Hindi film, which hit theatres on February 27, follows two college friends, Molshri and Shivang, as they embark on a journey of redemption. What drove this indie success story? Directed by Tanmaya Shekhar and produced by Medha Khanna, Nukkad Naatak lacks the typical Bollywood blueprint — stars, studio machinery, and initial access to major OTT platforms. What it did have was a deeply relatable story. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here. All rights belong to their respective owners.

Avinash Tiwary explains why 90s men weren’t SRK fans and how Dhurandhar’s rage changed romance

Published by Parlour News

6 min readMumbaiApr 16, 2026 08:17 AM IST “Longing has disappeared from present-day romance,” said Avinash Tiwary when asked what his upcoming film, Ginny Weds Sunny 2, gets right about modern romance, especially when contrasted with the handful of romantic films we’ve seen in a testosterone-driven era. He went on to elaborate on the fact that the current male leads in love stories are so driven by rage that they often become unrecognizable. ‘Men in the 90s weren’t SRK’s fans’ “From what I’ve seen of the world and those around me, almost 80 to 90% of boys probably wouldn’t even say hello to a girl by themselves. This is how we are, this what real India is. It’s those 5 to 10% who create problems, making us all look bad. But most men have never properly interacted with a woman, and this film is trying to show that.” Explaining his view point, he also reflected on the legendary Shah Rukh Khan and what made him stand out in romantic roles: “What is it that he …

2 min readMar 28, 2026 10:03 PM IST Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez slammed his national teammates after they struggled to a 2-1 win over Mauritania, saying that it was one of their worst-ever performance. “Pretty poor. It was one of the worst games we’ve played, even for a friendly. We lacked heart, thank goodness we weren’t playing the Finalissima like this. We lacked play and speed. We need a bit more heart. We lacked intensity, defensive solidity, and conviction when defending,” Martinez said. Martinez’s Finalissima dig was in reference to Argentina and Spain’s exhibition match getting cancelled after Iranian strikes on American bases in middle eastern countries which had put the match at the Lusail stadium in Doha, in doubt. UEFA had said that despite many attempts to reschedule the match across different venues, the participants weren’t able to come to a decision and the match would thus have to be cancelled. UEFA said that multiple options were put in front of the Argentine Football Association, including a 50-50 split of fans at the Santiago …
