Hollywood has of course, been doing it for decades, garnering an ultra-loyal fanbase for their many ‘universes’, be it Star Wars, DC, or Marvel. The Indian film industry has only recently ventured into this arena and not surprisingly, the attempts are more from the southern part of the country than Bollywood; Tollywood being far more experimental and creative than their northern counterparts. However, great attempts always do not translate to great cinema. Bahubali and RRR are undoubtedly the leaders of the pack but the others have been run-of-the-mill in some cases and downright awful in others (Adipurush, anyone?). So where does Kalki 2898 AD stand in this spectrum? As I write this, the Amitabh Bachchan-Prabhas-Deepika Padukone-Kamal Haasan starrer has already neared the Rs200 crore mark at the box office. Clearly, it’s proved to be a film that has gone...

It offers a sneak peek into the traditions and rituals that are central to the Indian way of life, but, above all, it shows them there could be an element of glamour to them. As a kid growing up in the 90s, Varsha Phulwani grew up on a heady dose of Bollywood. “Some of my core childhood memories are centered on our weekly movie outings at Plaza Cinema and Strand Cinema. I would also spend hours and hours watching interviews of Bollywood celebrities. I have watched every interview of Aishwarya Rai, Karan Johar, and Shah Rukh Khan because I wanted to speak as articulately as they did,” says Varsha, who manages social media for a brand in Dubai. “As a child, I even created my own magazine where I wrote articles, reviews, and features about Bollywood movies.
