Frivolous Fixations

Watched Gandhi Talks. Starring: Vijay Sethupati, Aditi Rao hydari, and Arvind Swami. No Spoilers. Not a single dialogue in the entire movie.

Ever actor, talks with their eyes, or expression on their face;  the reason why the movie stars artists like Mahesh Manjrekar and Zarina wahab, and not 'Super stars' who can't give a single face look that makes sense. Arvind is as good as he has always been. Aditi Rao hydari has always been under rated and never given the chance she deserves, whenever given (like delhi 6), she always delivers.

I still have my old Titan in a jwellery box ( told you I loved it). Yet when my company gave me a normal watch o...
