About Tanul Thakur
I’m an Indian journalist and a film critic. In 2015, I was the youngest recipient of the National Film Award for Best Film Critic (awarded by the Indian President). Over a dozen newspapers, portals, and channels have interviewed me on cinema, politics, and pop culture, including The Economist, The Times, The Financial Times, BBC, CNN, and DW News. My pieces have been syndicated, quoted, and republished in Le Monde, Dawn, The Hollywood Reporter, Forbes, Business Standard, Huffington Post, and BuzzFeed. In February 2023, I appeared as an expert talking head on a four-part Netflix documentary series, The Romantics (along with 35 Bollywood stars)—chronicling the story of India’s biggest production house—directed by an Emmy- and Oscar-nominated filmmaker. My first book—which exposes how the systemic abuse of the H-1B visa program \'enslaves\' Indian workers and exiles American professionals—will be published later this year.
