Man's World - March 2019

Rajkummar Rao, our cover subject this month has made a mark for a variety of reasons. Time and again, he has given us proof of his versatility, from playing a vicious terrorist (Omerta) to a bumbling, small-town bumpkin (Bareilly Ki Barfi). Also he has made it on his own, without any film family backing him. Thirdly, he seems like a nice, relatable guy – he’s earnest, self-effacing and polite to a fault. MW has been around for 19 years. Almost two decades into our existence and still going strong, we’ve put together a package of stories that tell you just how much India has changed in that time. In areas as diverse as sports, the food and beverage industry, fashion, the internet, automobiles, cinema and TV, India has changed almost unrecognizably. Also don't miss two other great pieces of writing and photography: a ringside view of one of the biggest spectacles of recent times – the Kumbh Mela; and how wedding photography has gone big in India.

India Through Picture Postcards

Sangeeta and Ratnesh Mathur have been collecting postcards – dating from the late 19th century - featuring the Indian subcontinent for over 15 years, a large selection of which they have compiled into a delightful book. In this extract from Picturesque India: A Journey in Early Picture Postcards (1896-1947), they explain how they built their collection, and what inspired them to begin the collection. The postcards reproduced are selections from each chapter in the book, which are based on popular travel routes of those times, covering the entire subcontinent.

Baby Tigress

Ever since her debut, Zoya Akhtar has been described as a tasteful, cerebral and urban film-maker. A darling of the industry, her films, though offbeat, have always found love and support.

Rajkummar Rao Through The Lens Of His Favourite Movies

Rajkummar Rao makes for a fascinating case study. In the last few years, he has been one of the driving forces behind making intelligent cinema accessible to audiences. He has helped in busting the myth that the Indian audience only consumes masala potboilers just because a Salman Khan rakes in the moolah. Stree and Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga showed off his ability to be a “Bollywood” leading man, a romantic hero and someone who made song-and-dance feel refreshing. With hits, fans and a can-he-ever-deliver-a bad-performance tag, Rao is the present, and possibly, the future of Hindi cinema.
