Shikhar Verma

Shikhar Verma is the Co-founder and Senior-Film Critic at High on Films. When he is not writing or championing low-budget indie movies, he is either eating, traveling or just hanging out with his wife. Movies, for him, are more than just moving images and he attributes his coming-of-age to the fleeting moments of catharsis he often feels when a screen fades to black.
