Gwoemul (The Host) is an incredible genre shifter. It starts as a creature-fest, gets into some amazingly goofball comedy and even attempts to make a political statement amidst all that. But the point is – which goes missing even in most mainstream Hollywood monster films – that this one doesn’t let go of its human [...]

Interview with Bappi Lahiri in Calcutta Times
What’s not surprising is that the Jimmy Jimmy song from the Mithun starrer Disco Dancer is featured in Adam Sandler’s latest film, You Don’t Mess With The Zohan after purchasing the rights from Sa Re Ga Ma. But what is surprising is that Jimmy Jimmy itself is [...]
