We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?

Special mention to anyone willing to share this with Arfa Khanum Sherwani, who appears to have abandoned critical engagement altogether on The Wire, opting instead for a breathless call to boycott Dhurandhar.
Mods of LI: before rushing to adjudicate, do yourselves the courtesy of actually watching the review. Thank you.
What genuinely baffles me, however, is that the film has remained in theatres for over a week. That simply doesn’t happen unless a film holds its ground on first principles.
Which made me think—why not ask the legal community for its views? Surely, we understand better than most the distinction between hate propaganda and meaningful entertainment or storytelling.
Let’s discuss!
