Uunchai trailer launch: Heightened expectations

Uunchai trailer launch: Heightened expectations Uunchai is not about family. It is about friendship. How far will you go to fulfill the last wish of a dear friend? Mount Everest? There can be no greater Uunchai (Height) on earth, and never mind the spelling. Should be Oonchai, but I guess numerology dictated the changed spelling. Numerology again seems to be at play in choosing the release date: 11-11-22. But two factors have kindled keen interest in the film: firstly, the return of Amitabh B...

Phone Bhoot ghost shoots a mockumentary

Phone Bhoot ghost shoots a mockumentary The trailer of Phone Bhoot, the comedy horror film that is scheduled for release on 04 November, was trending continuously for 24 hours on YouTube.

As we see the full video now, we notice the actors indulging in hilarious banter and enjoying taking a dig at each other. The ch...

American rapper 'Machine Gun Kelly' and Taurus at Newport Beach Film Festival

  Colson Baker, aka Machine Gun Kelly, got onscreen to present his own struggles through the cautionary tale of a fictional character with echoes of himself. “It was very uncomfortable because it was a very meta movie.” Taurus is about a troubled musician who pushes himself into a dark yet deep place to create his very last song. Baker is outspoken in his own laidback manner, spouting phrases like “Life is grim. It isn’t Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” but th...

Kahani Rubber Band Ki, Review: Precaution first, protection afterwards

Kahani Rubber Band Ki, Review: Precaution first, protection afterwards No, it is not the story of a rubber band. The term is used as a euphemism for something that was known as French Leather in the latter part of the twentieth century. Towards the end of the twentieth century and till now, the term ‘protection’ has taken its place. It appears from the film, set in Varanasi, that in towns and Tier III (small) towns at least, men are still shy about saying the word “condom&rd...

Doctor G, review: A 124-minute operation, performed by a novice

Doctor G, review: A 124-minute operation, performed by a novice G in the title could stand for ‘jee’, a suffix denoting respect, or for gynæcology. Neither is moniker material, so why title your film Doctor G? Because the protagonist is a male student of medicine and has his heart set on orthopædic studies and practice, but no seats are available in that branch of study and the only option is gynæcology. Pray, why the reluctance to study gynæcology? B...

Kantara, review: Dispossessing the 'possessed'

Kantara, review: Dispossessing the 'possessed' Kantara is about conflict. Conflict between nature and human beings. Conflict between landlords and their subjects. Between Forest Officers and villagers using forest resources for subsistence. Between two powerful and major landlords. Between humans and ‘possessed-by-deities’ humans. Between humans and wild beasts. Between a mother and her son. Between a hero and his nemesis. Between a film and its audience. Yes, a film and i...

Absolution by Lauren Spohn Director's statement - Best for Fests

Absolution” is about addiction–suffering with it, trying to get rid of it, passing it on from one generation to the next. How do we deal with our problems? Who’s to blame? Are they ever really solved?  The idea for the film came from a series of searching conversations I had with fellow producers  Andrew Shemin and Seth David Michell about these themes. (We’re all something of armchair philosophers.) I wrote the script with Seth in mind. The rest of our creat...

Aye Zindagi, Review: Goodness of human beings, greatness of cinema

Aye Zindagi, Review: Goodness of human beings, greatness of cinema A very touchy, sensitive and polarising subject, Aye Zindagi (O Life) hits the right chords and sticks diligently to its theme and thrust. Based on an “incredible” true story, the film comes across as honest and well-crafted. One can feel emotions similar to those evoked by Anand, made 50 years ago, and Safar, before it, but, though both starred the new star on the horizon, Rajesh Khanna, both were works of fiction...

Their wait is over: the trailer of this most awaited comedy of horrors was launched on 10 October at the PVR multiplex, Juhu, Mumbai. Phone Bhoot is a title most likely chosen as a pun on the word Phone Booth, and has been in the news for some time now, because superstar ...

Janpath Kiss, play review: Kiss and miss

Janpath Kiss, play review: Kiss and miss Staged in testing circumstances, Janpath Kiss, a full-length play in Hindustani, provided its share of laughs and satirical commentary on the contemporary socio-legal scene in India, particularly New Delhi. With a huge cast and three musicians seated on stage, it appeared to be under-rehearsed and a bit longer than necessary, considering there was no intermission or act division. Showing patches of imaginative theatrical ideas, it started on the wrong ...
