Dolemite is my name by Craig Brewer

What made me watch the movie – the name and poster of the movie

What I liked about the movie – the rambunctious tale of a visionary

Who will I recommend the movie to – a biography buff, someone who’d like to know what it’s like to have it in you but not being able to showcase it

What did the movie teach me – adopting a persona actually helps, it helps you go raw and naked

This biographical tale of a movie broke stereotypes, and actually made me feel good about my dad-bod.

Here, the word ‘movie’ refers to both movies and series.

Deep Focus by Satyajit Ray

What made me buy the book – the fame of the author, and the fact that I haven’t witnessed his work – ever. I’m guilty.

What I liked about the book – the vision of the cinematic genius. Despite coming from a family of literary giants, he chose and carved an eternal throne for himself by capturing the essence of life that we think we know

Who will I recommend the book to – a cinephile

What did the book teach me – you’ve got to trust your audience
