National Press Day (November 16) was last week, and, as an entertainment journalist, I decided to base this column on a topic that is as personal as it is relevant — films on journalism and journalists. Before we get into biopics and fictional films, let us start with a mix of both — films based on real-life incidents. Arguably one of the most famous Indian films with a journalist at its centre is No One Killed Jessica which is a retelling of the Jessica Lal murder case. For instance, Mammootty and Mohanlal starred as media personnel in New Delhi and Run Baby Run respectively. From The Hindu cinema team, a fortnightly column recommending films and shows tied to a mood, theme, or pop culture event.
