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.

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

For Indian children growing up outside India, Bollywood has a different appeal. 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.
