Hammers hit objects hard, things fall to the ground, glass shatters. The sound of destruction is all around us. And no, we’re not at a demolition site. We’re reminded of Alia Bhatt’s Kaira in Dear Zindagi (2016), who, while going through an upheaval in her personal life, enters a grocery store, hurls glass bottles of pickles to the floor, and leaves.

A group of friends from NM college are just wrapping up their group rage session. They come out sweaty and exhausted, but happy. When we ask them what it felt like, one of them says, “A stress buster, an emotional release, and overall very satisfying.” “We can’t smash a person’s face,” another says. We’re reminded of several worthy candidates but we agree with him. “But this is a way to get rid of that frustration, in a very destructive way.” It’s like a workout, we are told, for the mind and body.
