Celluloid, Ink and Writings

Hello. Hey. Heya. My name is Hariharan Acharya, a resident of Mumbai, India. I am a college student with a never-ending appetite for movies and books. I really can't pinpoint from when did this gluttonous attitude of mine started towards celluloid and ink. Maybe it was close to 2014 when it comes to movies, but I don't know when did I start loving to read books. I find myself surrounded by fictional characters all the time, impersonating actors and looking through my eyeglasses like a viewfinder, setting up imaginary shots and rattling my mind with composition and stuff, etc.

You might find posts mostly related to movies here, my recollections and thoughts on cinema, my revelries or utter mockery of certain directors or attempts at analyzing scenes from some of my favorite movies. I believe that you will have the patience to go through my writings and share your thoughts with me. Keeping my foot on the dusty earth in 3... 2... 1...
