Some films stick with you because they’re a little too close to real life. Not because of the big twists, but those events where an ordinary woman shakes up an entire system, like Yami Gautam’s character in the film ‘Haq’. It got us thinking of other films that give the same feeling, especially the ones based on real events that prove truth is just as gripping as fiction.
If that’s the kind of story you’re into this weekend, here’s a watchlist based on real-life events that’ll stick with you long after the credits roll.

"As | grew older, I started noticing that for many women, cooking wasn't a choice but an expectation. Once, at a social gathering, a group of family friends and relatives were discussing their favourite topic: marriage. The conversation drifted towards cooking, and one of them commented, 'It is very important for women to know how to cook. How will they manage life after marriage otherwise?' And it didn't stop there. 'If a woman can't cook, it reflects badly on her parents, she went on to say.
As a 15-year-old who hadn't witnessed casual misogyny like this at such close proximity before, I was angry. All the movie scenes where the guy's family judges the girl based on the chai and samosa she serves during the first meeting came rushing to my mind. I didn't ever want to be a part of it," a writer says about her strained relationship with cooking.

She stands over her canvas, with the kind of focus only artists possess. She grips her brush gently between her jaws, lowers it to paper, and whooshes a confident streak of blue. Her tail wagging with joy and wonder, as she finishes her 39th artwork, titled ‘Midnight in the Garden’. Her humans, creative professionals Hoi and Snehangshu Debnath, witness this magic quietly.
From being abandoned as a pup to raising funds for strays, Hyderabad’s Labrador Dali is India’s most unconventional artist.

We’ve all got opinions about Gen Z. They’re the ones quitting jobs without a backup plan, setting boundaries with their parents, and using therapy speak during coffee break. They’ll send a meme instead of an apology, take a mental health day after a bad meeting, and still find time to plan a trip to Goa.
For every joke about them being too soft, there’s also something refreshing about how they’re choosing honesty over hustle.
As Ananya Panday (@ananyapanday) recently shared on the show ‘Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle’, this generation isn’t just expressing more, they’re listening more too.
Do you think Gen Z has cracked the code on emotional intelligence?

We’ve all been there or heard of it. Enthusiastically planning Diwali parties, not-so-enthusiastically creating PPTs summing up off-site learnings, joining committees and so on. Office housework somehow always finds its way to women. These unseen tasks don’t move your career forward, but they do keep the office running.
While global data points at women taking on more office housework, stats from the Indian workforce are woefully unavailable. Casual chats reflect this unspoken trend being real, but people are reluctant to openly admit biases.
We asked women (and experts) how to stop being the default fixer and start getting credit where it’s due at the link

From the person who can’t sleep without their 10-step skincare routine to the one who believes a swipe of lip balm counts as self-care, beauty is as much about personality as it is about personal style.
Your rising sign, especially, reveals how you like to present yourself to the world—and your unique beauty practices make up a significant part of that presentation.

We’ve grown up with mothers and grandmothers whose love language wasn’t in words but in gestures, like opening their wardrobes to us. Long before sustainable fashion, wearing hand-me-downs and borrowing clothes was an unspoken ritual of love. From embroidered saris to heirloom jewellery, a wedding invite often meant diving into their closets for the perfect look.
Wearing your partner’s hoodie or raiding your sister’s closet before a night out still feels like love stitched into fabric.
Team Tweak share the borrowed treasures that have become permanent residents of their closets.

Hidden in a lane in tourist-friendly Assagao village, this vegetarian South Indian restaurant offers joy not through fancy cocktails or a cool vibe, but through the comfort of a homely meal.
Sappadu doesn’t look like a typical restaurant. It is housed in a 100-year-old home with Portuguese-Goan architectural elements such as the sloping roof with Mangalore tiles, artworks featuring flora and fauna motifs, and vintage bric-a-brac.
What adds to its sense of home is the team of eight women who run the place. They greet you with a smile before serving you traditional Tamil classics like puliyodharai (tamarind rice), paniyaram, and podi button idli, the taste of which lingers in your mind long after you’ve left.
