Spit Take
We have arrived! Yes, if you read the news, you can see us arriving every day on various international platforms, conquering new frontiers, and the rest of the world quaking in fear over our exploding glory, but this is ‘arriving’. I speak of the Cannes Film Festival celebrating Indian cinema in its 75th edition, of course. And choosing our ancient, glorious land as the first “Country of Honour” at their Marché du Film! (That’s French for ‘March 31 is due date for film tax’, BTW.) Take that, World Health Organisation, global indices, inflation, libtards, unemployment, Aurangzeb and … er … Jean Paul Belmondo.
And that’s not all; our very own Deepika Padukone was on jury duty. The actor showcased her proud Indian heritage on the red carpet in a striped black-and-gold Sabyasachi sari, inspired, apparently, by the Bengal tiger. Patriots on Twitter were quick to point out that it’s the Bengal tiger that had passed Hindi Prathamik, and is not a fan of Didi at all.
