Are you ready for another issue with your favourite team? This week, we’ve been rather bundled up inside the office. It’s absolutely freezing outside which calls for excessive tea drinking, unattractive striped socks with our loafers, greasy hair (ladies, you know what we’re talking about), and hot out of the tandoor naans from our favourite Mall Road vendor. But we refused to be defeated by the winter! Ignoring all urges to curl up infront of our trusty heater, we gathered up our gear one frosty Tuesday morning and went deep into the caves of Arfa Tower Park for a super fun feature with the team at Mango Baaz headquarters. We also bring you some of the highs and lows from red carpets in Mumbai and Santa Monica, hike up to the most perfect spot in all of Barcelona and bring the NCA thesis display to your doorstep. All this and more awaits inside, let’s get started! Yours sincerely, Team Weekend.

Film Fare Awards Oh look, it’s Glinda the good witch! We hate to hate on Sonam’s style but this look is ageing her, there’s nothing special about the garment, and the hair is off point.
