Movies
10. The Jungle Book (June 5) -- 4 stars
Excellent movie watched with excellent company but ALAS, I forgot to write it up when I came home and now I am too far removed from the experience to recall if I had anything interesting to say. 4 stars
11. Bajirao Mastani (June 27) -- 5 stars
Epic in the most literal sense of the word. It felt like watching a live action legend. I had some initial objections when I was still watching it as a 'real world' movie (I'm supposed to be in favour of a conqueror???) but eventually it convinced me to view it as myth and we were all good. Probably the prettiest film I've seen this year. 5 stars
