My Take
I hold deep respect for writers like Anupama Chopra. A journalist, author, film critic and director from Prayagraj, she gave us essential books on landmark Indian cinema like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Sholay, and led the MAMI Mumbai Film Festival for nearly a decade. Founding Film Companion showed real conviction: building a serious space for film criticism in a media landscape that rarely rewards depth. What I admire most is that she does not just review movies, she bridges the people who make them and the people who love them. That kind of thoughtful, durable voice is exactly what the conversation around cinema needs.
