New Delhi [India], December 25: Memories of the Earth (MOTE) comes back with simplicity in a skincare market that is full of excess, velocity and fads. As the brand approaches its fifth year, MOTE officially launches The Biome Edition, a performance skincare collection with microbiome-focused products, but aimed at Indian skin, Indian climate, and Indian lifestyles. Established in 2021 in Ahmedabad, India, by a mother-daughter team, Shital and Kajal, MOTE initially was a silent protest against real skin frustration, skin pigmentation, sensitivity, and breakdown of the barrier due to heat, pollution, stress, and too many activities. At one point, a small-scale, intuitive, home-based…

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Not every Christmas release arrives with tinsel and nostalgia. Some come carrying ambition, industry anxiety, and the quiet pressure of representation. Mission Santa: Yoyo To The Rescue is one such film — an Indian animated feature that doesn’t just want to entertain children for 90 minutes, but wants to make a point: Indian animation deserves a theatrical seat at the global holiday table. Let’s start with the obvious irony. Christmas, traditionally dominated by Hollywood animation juggernauts, is now hosting an Indian animated Santa who doesn’t look apologetic about existing. Mission Santa arrives with a nationwide…
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Some sports films arrive with chest-thumping bravado, slow-motion victories, and background scores that practically instruct you when to feel inspired. Champion does something slightly more dangerous — it walks into the arena quietly, carrying emotional baggage instead of trophies, and hopes the audience notices the weight before the finish line. At its core, Champion is a Telugu-language sports drama starring Roshan Meka and Anaswara Rajan, and on paper, it sounds comfortingly familiar: an underdog athlete, personal setbacks, discipline, sacrifice, and the long, unforgiving road to self-belief. But familiarity, when paired with sincerity, can still feel…
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Some films announce themselves loudly. Others arrive carrying suitcases full of subtext. Vande Bharat Via USA belongs firmly to the latter category — a Gujarati-language film that doesn’t just travel geographically, but emotionally, culturally, and politically, all while pretending it’s “just entertainment.” At face value, Vande Bharat Via USA positions itself as a diaspora drama — the kind Indian cinema has returned to repeatedly whenever identity starts feeling complicated. The title alone is telling. It doesn’t whisper nostalgia; it waves a flag, boards a flight, and invites you to question what exactly gets carried across…
New Delhi [India], December 25: Christmas in Calcutta did not arrive as a fragile import. It landed like a citywide performance and refused to stay indoors. By the late eighteenth century, Calcutta had already detached Christmas from its English stiffness. Colonial commentators noticed it early. An 1894 article in The Saturday Review openly complained that English Christmas traditions had become formulaic, while Calcutta had turned the festival into something freer, louder, and frankly more enjoyable. By then, the city was already calling it Burrah Din. The Big Day. No apology needed. This was not mimicry. It was an adaptation. Calcutta…
