March 04, 2019 493: Surya Kiran Crash at Aero 2019: Should the Show Go On?
The IAF’s recent run of ill luck hit a new low on 19 February 2019, when two Hawk AJTs from the Surya Kiran Aerobatics Team (SKAT) crashed at Yelahanka after a mid-air collision during rehearsal. It’s blue skies (RIP) for one of the pilots while two other pilots ejected safely, albeit with injuries.
A Mirage 2000 crash on 1 February at neighbouring HAL Airport claimed two young test pilots from ASTE. Soon after, a MiG 27 crashed on 12 February near Jaisalmer (pilot ejected safely). Now this fatal accident coming a day before inauguration of Aero India 2019, has thrown a long shadow over the proceedings.
February 2019 has been a terrible month for Indian forces battling many asymmetric threats from inside and outside.

March 01, 2019 Luka Chuppi - Movie Reviews With RJ Stutee
The phrase ‘mindless comedy’ is bandied around a lot these days. It’s a convenient term to defend a lot of films where the collective IQ of its characters is at times as low as room temperature.
Leave your brains at home! Don’t go looking for sense everywhere! Why can’t you just have a good time? These are some remarks that greet those of us who rarely manage even a chuckle or two while watching such films.
So to describe Luka Chuppi, ‘mindless comedy’ is the phrase I’m going to borrow but in the nicest way possible. Listen to the podcast for the full review!

March 01, 2019 Sonchiraiya: Movie Reviews With RJ Stutee
From Sholay and Bandit Queen to the more recent Pan Singh Tomar , dacoits and their daredevilry have found a haloed space in Bollywood. In Sonchiriya, director Abhishek Chaubey and writer Sudip Sharma, at the outset, seem to be conjuring up another familiar universe about outlaws and their collision with authority.
But a few minutes into the film one knows that there’s more than meets the eye that demands a closer look. Listen as we tell you whether Sonchiriya is worth a watch!
