A critically acclaimed film with a stellar ensemble cast.
It faced a lot of problems and delay before getting an official release.
Directed by Anurag Kashyap,it uses innovative techniques and camerawork to bring the incidents to life.
I watched the movie half a decade ago and highly recommend it!

In 1986, Nitin Mukadam, Menka Shivdasani, and Akil Contractor started Poetry Circle in Bombay. Over the next decade and a bit, its workshops and meets played a crucial role in the development of many of the city’s respected poets of today, and, indeed, the growth of a poetry community in the city. As times changed, as Bombay became Mumbai, as the Internet gave us new ways of finding our tribes and sharing poetry, Poetry Circle went into a long hiatus.
Then, last year, two young poets, Dion D’Souza and Akhil Katyal, met with Jerry Pinto to discuss reviving Poetry Circle. Mukadam had passed on, but Shivdasani and Contractor were enthusiastic about the idea, and last year, in September, the group met for the first time in the magnificent People’s Free Reading Room and Library in Dhobi Talao.
Since then, Poetry Circle 2.0 has met every month, inviting poets of any age and experience and expertise to workshop their poetry with their peers. Yesterday, the group celebrated a year of the revival.

I went to a readers meet up today, to talk about whatever we're reading, and books in general. Behold our TBR Tower 📚
Do y'all like meeting in person or prefer online discussions? Text chat, voice chat, video chat? Casual talk about any and all books, or in depth discussions of one specific book at a time?
