B. S. Dara: The Voice Indian Fiction Cannot Ignore
PNN New Delhi [India], August 19: B. S. Dara turned from concrete beams to sentences, from architecture to ache. Now he builds stories that hold what most people try to hide. Erotic. Emotional. Unforgiving. His Stories you swore you'd burn. His Books The Insatiable His debut novel, The Insatiable, was a storm of desire and consequence, earning praise from critics and a place in libraries that rarely open their shelves to debuts. Critics noticed. Readers felt seen. The book found its way into Top 10 Books of the Month by Delhi Wire, was among the Top 10 Books of Year 2024 to be considered worthy of Netflix series, was added to the Goodreads premier author category, and secured a place in the prestigious Qatar National Library collection, a rare honour for a debut writer. It marked Dara as someone willing to write love without filters, exposing the beauty and the damage in the same breath. Then came the second. I, You and Pune I, You and Pune is a love story that doesn't try to be one. It follows Ananya Sharma, an MBA graduate with deadlines in her calendar and damage in her chest. Enter Veer Singh. He opens doors, listens too well, kisses too deeply, and ruins her in all the quiet ways no one prepares you for. Sex mistaken for love, and love mistaken for freedom. They move in together. They make love. They fall apart. There's no happy ending. Just real ones. Set against rain-slicked streets of Pune, where loneliness feels louder than love, the novel doesn't give easy answers. It asks the harder questions: What do you do when love is real but not enough? How do you carry desire when it turns into recklessness? Click here to find "I, You and Pune" and "The Insatiable" by B. S. Dara on Amazon today. Writing Unfiltered. Unforgiving. Undone. Sensual. Stark. B. S. Dara undresses the wounds most writers avoid, love, loneliness, sex, shame, and writes them raw, wet, and unedited. No silk-draped love scenes, he writes intimacy like a commitment whispered mid-orgasm. His stories don't give you closure. They give you reminders. The Man Outside the Books Quiet in life, fearless on the page, Dara brings a rare emotional precision to Indian fiction. He writes of women who count the cost of staying, and men who only learn too late what they ruined. In a country where writers often reach for masks, Dara insists on unmasking. He has carved out a place in Indian fiction as a dangerous voice, one who writes the price of being real in a world that rewards pretending. Building His Place in Indian Literature Two books in, and B. S. Dara isn't just writing fiction, he's rewriting the anatomy of desire in Indian English literature. His stories have struck a chord with readers who know that love isn't always beautiful, that love isn't always tender. Sometimes it's unspoken. Sometimes it's wet. Sometimes it's brutal. And that's exactly why it matters "Quiet in life, dangerous in fiction--B. S. Dara is Indian literature's most precise knife."

‘Ballad of a Small Player' trailer out: Colin Farrell races against time in Edward Berger's psychological thriller
The first teaser for 'Ballad of the Small Player', starring Colin Farrell, has been released, offering a dark and gripping glimpse into one of the year's most anticipated psychological thrillers. Directed by Edward Berger (well-known for Oscar-winning 'Conclave'), the film is adapted from Lawrence Osborne's 2014 novel and follows Lord Doyle (Farrell), a troubled gambler hiding out in Macau. Doyle spends his days on casino floors, drinking and betting away what little he has left—until he crosses paths with Dao Ming, a mysterious casino employee played by Fala Chen. She offers him a chance at redemption, though it soon becomes clear she has secrets of her own. Also in pursuit is private investigator Cynthia Blithe, portrayed by Tilda Swinton, who is determined to confront Doyle with the truth he's trying to escape. As the tension builds, the line between reality and illusion begins to blur, setting the stage for a haunting exploration of guilt, survival, and identity. The teaser hints at a moody, noir-inspired atmosphere, with neon-lit cityscapes, tense casino scenes, and Farrell at the centre of it all—broken, desperate, and trying to outrun his past. The film is written by Rowan Joffé and also features Deanie Ip and Alex Jennings in key roles. It is set to premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, as part of the prestigious Special Presentations section. 'Ballad of the Small Player' will have a limited theatrical release in the United States on October 15 and in the United Kingdom on October 17, before launching globally on Netflix on October 29. With a strong cast and a director known for psychological depth, 'Ballad of the Small Player' is shaping up to be one of the standout thrillers of the year.
