• Who: Venkatesan. K
  What: Desam
  Tangy: “He had forcibly left India for fear of having to submit to his father’s autocracy. He was now living an artificial life, away from everything except work. He had forced himself to take on a challenging profession, just so he wouldn’t have the time to miss home.  A life of emptiness was what followed………………………………….. Ah! That life, he sorely missed.” – Venkatesan.

• Who: Jai Arjun Singh
  What: Thoughts on Kai Po Che! as an adaptation
  Tangy: “I think most people who have seen the new film Kai Po Che! and also read the Chetan Bhagat novel The 3 Mistakes of my Life will agree that the film is a more    fully realised work, and it may be worth looking at where its strengths lie vis-a-vis the source text
  – The decision to remove the novel’s framing device was a sensible one
  – The film has dramatic impetus (which is lacking in the final passages of the novel) along with a more developed sense. ” – Jai Arjun Singh

• Who: Veracious
  What: Standards, reactions and film criticism
  Tangy: The best thing a film critic can do is write about a film in such descriptive terms that you can take away two things from their writing: what their standards for this film were, and how that film met those standards.
  – To me, it doesn’t really matter if you “get” a film or not, what matters if whether you like it or not.
  – If a reaction is not intrigue or a desire to look into it deeper, then why force it?. – Veracious
