The fabulous lives of Bollywood couples, and divorces have gone hand in hand for many years now. The year 2024 was no exception. Except for a term that entered the Indian lexicon: grey divorce. Something that India learnt from music composer AR Rahman and his estranged wife Saira Banu.  What is a grey divorce? Grey divorces refer to couples, in their late-forties or early fifties, parting ways after spending years or decades together in a marriage.

AR Rahman, known for his musical genius, hardly made headlines for his personal life all these years. His lesser-known wife Saira Banu did make a few public appearances alongside her husband at award shows and functions, but soci...

In a world in the grip of conflict and turmoil, many filmmakers across the globe sought to put on record their sense of alarm. While some dived into the vortex of the growing unease to look for light in areas of darkness, others celebrated the joy that humanity engenders even when the space for positivity shrinks. On our list of ten best international films of 2024 are works by several established masters as well by as a few younger filmmakers who revel in ploughing a lonely furrow and try to make a sense of things spinning out of control.   The Seed of the Sacred Fig Shot entirely in secret, Mohammad Rasoulof's Persian-language The Seed of the Sacred Fig, Germany's official entry for the Best International Feature Film Oscar, is a powerful political allegory that examines the workings of an autocracy through the lens of fissures that open within the family of a government functionary appointed as an investigating judge in Tehran.

It is finally here. The three-year wait has been well worth it. Season 2 of Squid Game , made up of seven episodes of about an hour each, packs quite a wallop, with lead actor Lee Jung-jae slipping into a steely, personal mission-mode avatar that presents a marked contrast to the more easy-going persona he was in the early stages of the first season.  Certain high points of Season 1 prove difficult to replicate. Do not expect anything that is as nail-bitingly tense as the tug-of-war sequences. Neither is anything here that is as emotionally fraught as the memorable game of marbles segment that defined the spirit of Squid Game like nothing else could.   Not that Season 2 is without its share of explosions and bust-ups, but these flashpoints might just pale a tad in comparison if memories of what the players encountered first time around are still fresh in your mind.         But there is every reason for you to watch Squid Game Season 2 even ...
