Robert Rodriguez has become one of the most celebrated filmmakers over the years thanks to his unique filmmaking style and signature visual aesthetics. Some of his biggest hits such as The Mexico trilogy, Planet Terror, Spy Kids, Sin City, and From Dusk Till Dawn have earned widespread acclaim over the years. But one might even argue that these titles are cult classics. However, if there is a film that truly deserves cult status from Rodriguez’s filmography is the lesser-known 90s sci-fi horror film, The Faculty. Read more

Before the 90s economic boom in India, there was a mass exodus of people migrating illegally to the Arabian Gulf in search of employment. This dangerous trip across the Arabian Sea was very common among Malayalis and it helped several families earn a decent living. The 2015 film, Pathemari, directed by Salim Ahamed tells the story of a man named Pallikkal Narayanan who traveled to the ‘Gulf’ in the 60s on an illegal sailing vessel called the Pathemari, in the hopes of securing a better life for his family.

A story of three generations of women and an auspicious box of jewels, this riveting tale by Aparna Sen is aimed at annihilating centuries of social stigma and established draconian traditions. The women of the story each have their own inner demons to overcome, but unfortunately, it is a losing effort. However, a box of jewelry, interestingly enough, comes to their rescue. Today’s film for our Lost and Found podcast is the Bengali film Goynar Baksho. Directed by Aparna Sen, the film excellently portrays the transition from the post-independence era to the liberation war and the changes in people that came with time. Read more

Films have forever portrayed law enforcement officers in India through a one-dimensional lens. They’ve either been portrayed as government servants who relentlessly serve and go beyond the call of duty or those who’ve let their morals slide in exchange for commercial gains. But Shimit Amin’s 2004 film Ab tak Chhappan is one that depicts the precarious position that encounter cops find themselves in while navigating a system that merely considers them as pawns in a game of chess. And this sharp action drama is our Lost and Found for today. Read more

Most films that depict mental illnesses are focussed on the condition alone. Illustrating the symptoms and idiosyncratic behavioral patterns, they end up exaggerating the patient’s affliction and coloring them as dysfunctional beings unable to integrate with society. But few films have managed to sensitively portray mental patients through a lens that doesn’t underplay their compromised faculties but also, throws light on the pragmatic outlook that their caregivers tend to adopt. 15 Park Avenue is surely one such film and it’s our Lost and Found for today.

Films that trigger nostalgia are a portrait of the past. They teleport us to a certain time, allowing a glimpse of dated social norms. And significantly, they alter the way we perceive the world and navigate the circumstances presented to us. Anjan Dutt’s compelling family drama Dutta VS Dutta is surely one such gem and it’s our Lost and Found for today. Read more

Every once in a while we chance upon a romcom that’s so delicious it just sweeps us off our feet. The true test for a romcom lies in its ability to engage the audience to such an extent… that we’re compelled to root for the couple on the screen as they tide over all obstacles that test their relationship. Laurent Tirard’s Franco-Belgian romantic comedy Up for love is definitely one such ride. And it’s our Lost and Found for today. Read more

Detective shows such as Elementary and The Mentalist had a good run, exceeding over a 100 episodes, and building a fan base that loves detective fiction. But Scorpion, which has largely been eclipsed by comparatively popular shows, has remained buried in the OTTverse. Loosely based on real-life experiences of its producer Walter O’Brien who is also one of the protagonists in the show, this one gives a definitive twist to the typical consultant investigator sub-genre.

In recent years, few stoner comedies have been memorable enough to be lauded. Most would consider films such as Harold and Kumar go to White Castle and Pineapple Express for effectively and hilariously translating accounts of getting high in films. But Nima Nourizadeh’s American Ultra which stars Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart and Topher Grace among others is a rare stoner comedy that slipped through the cracks after a dismal box office performance and it’s our Lost and Found for today.

In recent years, movies and shows about time travel such as The Paper Girls and even the grossly-underrated JL50 have challenged the possibilities that the genre has to offer. From allowing one to envision an opportunity to alter the past to accepting a future which seems too convoluted, perplexing and beyond one’s imagination. There’s never been a better time to go down the sci-fi rabbit hole. But there are films that have also explored the genre through the lens of a crime thriller, rendering a gripping watch like none other. Oriol Paulo’s sci-fi thriller Mirage is a great example and it’s our Lost and Found for today. Read more
