We; The Team

The legend goes something like this...


One fine day, two jobless guys were discussing a famous movie blog. Suddenly, out of blue an idea struck them... why not start a blog? Afterall, it hardly takes any investment to start one. All it needed was time which they had aplenty. The idea was interesting and it took shape after brainstorming over maggi, patties and tea in college canteen. Yeah, pretty uninteresting but both the guys were non-smoking teetotalers. Anyways, it started on blogspot and later got its own domain. Today with over 100 page views a day, TheReelMag.in has made a name for themselves. Brain child of Ali and Sujoy was so named by a buddy Anurag Sanwal.

Over the time, some people joined us on board and most of them remained with us. Some of them are part of the core team:

Sujoy Ghosh: Editor, Founder

Creative head of the duo is crazy about cinema. As he say, stories define him. With his e-books 'I Died... Long Before' and 'Acetic Love' and experimental short films, he is trying to explore himself in a creative perspective. Passionate about stories, he prefers drama over any other genre.

Ali Naqvi: Co-editor, Founder

Can be dubbed as 'lethargic' technical brain of the gang. He is good at what you call story telling and detailing. He is a quick learner and is very good at technical aspects of blogging. He boasts of his laid back approach and gives it credit for cooling down anger/temper quotient of Sujoy.

Neha Jain: Associate Author

A star contributor. Some of her posts have fetched us huge page views. She has a very feminist view about cinema and within group she is the one who easily lock horns with Sujoy. If something more is revealed, we will be killed.

Rishabh Shukla: Associate Author

Music is his forte. A Jimmy Stewart like character, Rishabh likes to talk about music in general. He has an amazing understanding of music and is a valuable asset.

Gyandeep Pattnayak: Associate Author

If you are on twitter, you might have heard about this guy. His understanding about cinema has been lauded by many you-know-who of Cine World. His enthu and knowledge about cinema can make many so-called critics go weak in knees. Among reviewers, he ardently follow Roger Ebert and Rajeev Masand.

Gaurav Karmakar: Associate Author

An actor at heart. He has acted in couple of shorts with Sujoy and contributed to the growth of TRM with his articles and inputs. In the bunch of people struck in bread butter, he is determined to find his art and perfect it.
