The 21 Documentaries From the 21st Century Every Man Should See

Here’s a list of our favourite recent docs – plus some recs from their directors.

His yellow briefs were the first symbol of male sexualization in commercial Hindi cinema, and since then he’s gone from bankable actor to astute producer.

Shahid Kapoor: Poised To Cash In On Everything That's His Due

Shahid Kapoor has that special, sometimes non-essential quality you find among Bollywood superstars: He has serious acting chops. But, film-wise, not much gets him excited, and not much has brought him the success he deserves. Months go by between movies. An arranged marriage announcement drops, a baby girl soon after. But this year, with collaborations with two intense, artistic minds – Vishal Bhardwaj and Sanjay Leela Bhansali Kapoor seems poised to cash in on everything that’s his due.
