My first book - #TheBardOfBlood is going to be a @netflix series soon. This would not have been possible without Mr @_GauravVerma . Yes, that is the founder & CEO of Netflix - Mr @reedhastings . And then of course, there’s the man who has inspired millions like me - @iamsrk sir!

It looks like a painting.
Michael Mann’s Thief (1981) is one of the most visually stunning crime films ever made.

A lesser discussed facet of #SanjayGupta's career was his contribution as a producer and his willingness to back emerging filmmakers, several of whom are established names in the industry today. From Hansal Mehta (Dus Kahaniyaan, Woodstock Villa) and Meghna Gulzar (Dus Kahaniyaan) to Sudipto Chattopadhyaya (Pankh) and Sarthak Dasgupta (The Great Indian Butterfly) to Milap Zaveri and Apoorva Lakhia, he was instrumental in providing opportunities to filmmakers at different stages of their careers. Interestingly, he was also producing Chamki Chameli, a film directed by Shyam Benegal in 2007-08, which eventually got shelved. His own directorial Alibaug remains unreleased. Beyond the films he directed, there's an entire chapter of his career as a producer that deserves to be remembered and explored.

Sanjay sir, I feel so numb. I cannot come to terms with the fact that you won't be here anymore to recommend movies, gift me books, talk about watches, and share the wisdom that will stay with me for a lifetime.

Gupts, my brother. I still cannot believe that you are gone. We have shared so much together, so many memories and so many years of friendship. You have always been family to me, and that will never change. I will miss you, our conversations and all the times we spent together. We were just discussing Kante 2 recently, I will make Kaante 2 your dream, in memory of you my brother, I will do everything for this dream of yours to come true, love you forever and always. Life will not be the same without you, brother. May God bless your soul 🙏🏼

I knew it was coming soon, but here it is, "The Scavenger", the newest from Qin Pengfei coming out on the 24th. With Liu Fengchao & Huan Tao as the good guy and the bad guy, it tells the story of a guy trying to rescue his sister. It looks to be very inspired by The Furious

#Mayday is a total blast. One of the most refreshing buddy cop comedies in years. Wholesome, hilarious and bursting with personality, and one that never lets the quips overpower the stakes. It's criminal that this didn't get a theatrical release

An old paperback …
Is there anything better than the smell of a new paperback novel?

Almost three decades of his fruitful collaboration with Guy Ritchie. From "Lock, Stock..." to "The Gentlemen Season 2". It's so cool to see an entire episode devoted for his British Rambo-like character, the trusted lieutenant of the main guy.

A gentle reminder: You don't have to read fast. You don't have to read best-sellers. You don't have to read longer books. You don't have to have cute bookshelf. If reading brings you peace, you're doing it right.

The Furious is one of the best films of 2026. I have this currently ranked within my 10 best films of the year & I think this is proper Cinema. Other than John Wick, I can’t think of an action film with better choreography than this in recent memory. I didn’t catch this in theaters - only on streaming - but even from home, I found the experience memorable. Try this film on for size if you haven’t seen it yet.

Friends, I'm thrilled to let you know that PLOT TWIST: A Memoir on Writing is now out in the USA in both hardcover and audio book (narrated by yours truly). Part heartfelt memoir, part writing/creative guide, this is my most personal and vulnerable book (and I'm a little wary of sharing it with you). Hope you it inspires, educates, and entertains. Thank you.
