Gauri Shinde and R Balki make for one of Indian cinema’s most compelling couples: supremely individualistic, fiercely talented, with a shared penchant for drawing out the subtle layers of an intimate story rather than for the grandstanding of an epic production.

Yet, the powerhouse couple – who between them have directed, written and produced a packed roster of successful films including English Vinglish, Cheeni Kum, Paa, Pad Man, Dear Zindagi – have found extraordinary resonance among audiences for their intelligent, real, quietly radical characters.

And in Take 2, we dived into conversation with Gauri and Balki on big ideas and small stories, and how they navigate their shared landscape of cats, creativity and cinema.

    Algebra, the Arts & Ideas Club brings together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking.

    At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is a live and continuous space for people to come together for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made.

    Algebra – the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host almost 35 engagements over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al.
