Apparently they toyed with it being a musical; it didn’t work but kept the tunes... I don’t think Boss is quite right for the tone & their song picks are questionable (honestly, the use of ‘I’m on Fire’ is a baffling choice). If you wanted a bit sillier/a musical... go O’Brother, Where Art Thou?

Everyone praising Rajat Kapoor in this, describing it as his best role to date as though he wasn’t Tej Puri in Monsoon Wedding & pretty villainous already

(Yes, it’s a scene that uses ‘Baar baar dekho’ - and while it isn’t a subtle nod to the themes, it’s quite effectively and menacingly done)

Good piece by @francesjones.bsky.social elevating the voices of researchers such as @petermandler.bsky.social on how the issues at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social are impacting scholarship including abandoned/postponed projects.

ive tried the national archive but again - i must be doing something wrong...

thank you! i must not be doing something right - i've tried BAILII before but no dice (e.g., the Rex v. Robert Blain is from 1945), i'd be happy to try and go look in person too - i just wouldn't know where to start!

Should say UK-focused right now, but would be happy to learn more generally too.
