Filmmaker Raj Kumar Gupta took almost six years to make his latest fi lm, India’s Most Wanted, and was ready to give up at one point
Posters of the five films he has directed, along with one from Federico Fellini’s Amarcord and another from Sergio Leone’s The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, hang on the walls of filmmaker Raj Kumar Gupta’s Mumbai office. He says he was no film buff while growing up in Jharkhand, and watched only the commercial ones. Rather, it was his interest in creative writing that brought him to Mumbai. He got drawn into the world of entertainment after assisting Anurag Kashyap in two films and writing for television. In 2008, he made the critically-acclaimed Aamir. Three years later, in 2011, he came out with No One Killed Jessica and then, in 2013, Ghanchakkar. His 2018 film, Raid, was a huge hit and entered the 0100 crore club. His latest, India’s Most Wanted—starring Arjun Kapoor, Rajesh Sharma, Shantilal Mukherjee and Aasif Khan—just released.

William Dalrymple goes further back
Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.
The bleat from the street
What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans
If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
