My 2016 in Cinema
So 2016 despite it's big downs and ups, the year is actually the end of my official education and heralds a new chapter in my life as I officialy become a Hindi film writer and a part of the Hindi film industry. THIS IS HUGE, for me :D
Anyways, despite the cinematic year that has also seen highs and lows, big disappointments and genuine surprises; I've grown my viewing cycle including enjoying a second fruitful edition of the Mumbai Film Festival.
