Filmmaking is not just about pointing a camera and yelling “action.” It’s a process. A creative puzzle. It’s where writing, acting, lighting, sound, and editing come together to tell a story. Every frame is a decision. Every shot is a choice. Think of The Lunchbox . It’s a quiet film. Simple on the surface. But every scene is carefully planned. From the color of the walls to the light filtering through the kitchen window—everything has purpose. The Director’s Vision Directors see what others don’t. They imagine a scene before it exists. They guide actors, talk to the crew, and shape the mood. A good director makes you feel something without saying it out loud.

These choices are not accidents. They are deliberate, calculated steps in filmmaking. Writing That Connects It all starts with the script. Without a strong scr...

  For those who have long admired the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, this summer presents a rare chance to experience it all up close—and at a fraction of the usual cost. Shivsrushti, Asia’s largest historical theme park in Pune, has announced a Rs 50 ticket offer for visitors between May 15 and July 15, 2025. The initiative has been made possible by the Abhay Bhutada Foundation, which donated Rs 51 lakh to support the cause of public heritage awareness. Opening Cultural Doors for All When it comes to engaging with historical stories and figures, accessibility is often overlooked. Large theme parks with immersive features usually carry hefty ticket prices, discouraging many from planning a visit. In contrast, Shivsrushti’s summer campaign aims to make cultural knowledge inclusive and widespread. Developed in Ambegaon Budruk and spread across 21 acres, Shivsrushti is a visual and educational tribute to Shivaji Maharaj’s life. The ticket price reduction, made possible by phi...

For decades, smoking has been known as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Despite all the warnings, advertisements, and awareness campaigns, millions of people still light up every day. It’s a habit that may seem harmless at first, but over time, it can take a devastating toll on health. When we think of smoking, we often picture the image of someone holding a cigarette—sometimes in a movie scene, sometimes in real life. But the truth is, smoking doesn’t just affect the smoker. It impacts everyone around them, too. What Smoking Does to the Body? When you inhale cigarette smoke, your body is exposed to over 7,000 chemicals, many of which are toxic. Among these are nicotine, the addictive substance that makes smoking so hard to quit, and tar, which can damage the lungs. Nicotine causes your heart rate to increase and blood vessels to constrict. This raises blood pressure and puts a strain on the heart. Chronic smokers often suffer from heart disease, lung disease, and stroke. ...
