One of my all-time favorite romantic films, In the Mood for Love, found a beautiful new echo in a short film by Tilfi #Banaras, set in the timeless lanes of Varanasi. Inspired by its mood, colors, and quiet longing, I couldn’t resist painting these quick #watercolor sketches.

A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room. She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill. Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final. Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat. Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped. She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won. By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million. One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

If you're from #Mumbai, Hamza's "din dahade mere ghar mein ghus ke" outburst hits differently. It voices the collective anger of a city that has been a target of terrorism, multiple times. We talked about it on the #Dhurandhar episode. Link below👇🏾

Happy birthday to two of my favorite artists, Mario and Ray!

🎙️On the latest episode, we talked about how the lionization of Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar is part of the film’s psyop against Dawood, how Dhar has shot Sanjay Dutt almost like his muse, and why both films are a masterclass in modern editing. open.spotify.com/episode/1qP…

.@RanveerOfficial is phenomenal in Dhurandhar There are bits in both films where you can see Ranveer playing Jassi-playing Hamza. Visibly playing two parts at the same time. On the latest episode, we talked about why Dhurandhar is a triumph of Ranveer Singh, the actor.

It was fun talking technical to Himanshu about my fav film of the year Dhurandhar.

🎙️New Episode! The Dhurandhar franchise has disrupted mainstream Hindi cinema, stormed into pop culture, smashed box office records, and challenged hierarchies. @unbollywood and I tried to decode the global Dhurandhar phenomenon and deconstruct the films' storytelling.

TIL there's a Yakshagana troupe in Germany that does Yakshagana in German

The wait is almost over! A brand new book in the Mimi and Soni series is on its way! Get ready to dive in. Stay tuned! 😃
