âAashaâ director Safar Sanal: This film would not have been made without Urvashi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
âNo,â says debutant director Safar Sanal emphatically to the question whether he would have made Aasha without Urvashi. âNo, because by the time I finished the script, I could not place anybody else as the lead character. The role demanded more than an actor, more than a tool⦠it needed a human being who could understand the character; it had to be a thinking individual.â The veteran actorâs take as Aasha, possibly one of her careerâs best, has drawn an outpouring of praise.

Read excerpt

Some label them subversive, for they hold up a mirror on

Read excerpt
The makers of the two-part documentary Declassified: Operation Sindoor, streaming on Discovery, are delighted by the response it has received since it dropped on August 15, 2026. Filmmakers Prabhu Asgaonkar and Manika Berry Asgaonkar have made several films on the armed forces. Still, they find the response to their latest documentary âstartling because so many people are watching a 90-minute documentary, which is not fiction, nor is it Dhurandhar!â says Manika. Operation Sindoor is about th
