HT Brunch Cover Story: Valentine’s Day Special - Love or infatuation?

Stars of the moment, Radhika Madan, 25, and Vikrant Massey, 33, address the debate du jour: has OTT finished larger-than-life cinema for good, or is it just a passing phase?

I vividly remember going to watch Devdas (2002), my first movie in a single-screen theatre, when I was all of eight. It doubled as an extended family outing, for which we had booked an entire row in the cinema hall. Now that used to be the charm of watching a movie on the big screen! Cut to last year at home, when we finally got a decent Wi-Fi connection, thanks to work from home, my grandpa would nudge me to stream Malayalam movies post lunch, which kept him glued to the sofa.

While Radhika says our attention span is reducing, which is why short films are working, Vikrant argues that however short a movie, the important aspect is how good it is; For Vikrant:Styling: Priyanka Mishra; Styling intern: Harshita Vatsa; Make-up: Rohan Shelke; Hair: Vinit S; Outfit, Bhaane; shoes, Calvin Klein; For Radhika: Styling: Meagan Concessio; Make-up: Shraddha ; Inder Mehta ; Hair: Sourav Roy; Top, stylist’s own;denims, Kanika Goyal; jewellery, Ayana Silver Jewellery; shoes, Fila (Prabhat Shetty)
