Gopika Neth thinks that Pooja Iranna could have done a better job of depicting the less salubrious aspects of city life.

Amruta Nemivant is not completely convinced by the curatorial direction of the last three shows at Gallery BMB.

We should treat Shreyas Karle’s sense of humour with the respect it deserves; Gitanjali Dang tries to cause Paula Sengupta deep distress, Vaishali Sharma observes sadly.
