No Smoking (tbc)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This non-Bollywood Indian film tells a deeply tiresome and gimmicky story of one man's fight with his habit. A corporate narcissist named K is so addicted to cigarettes that his wife threatens to leave him unless he quits smoking. The cure on which he embarks is nothing like what you'd find on any Allen Carr programme – a phantasmagoric journey into a netherworld that makes him deafer but apparently no wiser.
While intended as a comedy, there's not a scintilla of wit to be found here, let alone an honest-to-goodness laugh, and at over two hours, it goes way beyond a joke.
