The 21st edition of the Mumbai Film Festival – the only MAMI that feels closer to us than our real mami (aunt) – is here. The schedule is out. The worried “Oh will I reach town from Juhu in less than an hour?” questions have begun. And the anxiety leading to those 8 AM booking windows – BookMyShow is suddenly the most popular God in Mumbai – will reach fever-pitch on Thursday morning. Especially when the servers crash.

Our job is to make life a little easier for you. Well, not so easy, but comfortable enough to not worry about Big-title FOMO.

Here’s the best possible day-wise schedule for you if you’re a burbie (read: Andheri-Juhu) and do not plan to make the long trek to town for Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman (because it’s common news that the much-hyped Netflix premiere is happening nowhere else).
