With all the larger-than-life characters and their very humane tribulations, the symbolic and philosophical significance of the epic narratives, imaginative world-building, and pioneering concepts, the rich lore of Indian mythology boasts an untapped potential of expansive storytelling. This is all the more reason as to why director Nag Ashwin’s ambitious amalgamation of Indian mythology and dystopian epic in the form of Kalki 2898 Ad is still making a buzz even nearly two months since its theatrical release. With grand visuals, a star-studded cast, and monumental scale to match the vision of a reimagined Indian mythos, the Tamil blockbuster has laid the groundwork for an interconnected universe. Kalki 2898 Ad, as the first entry to the universe, proves to be a stellar addition to the unique subgenre of sci-fi/mythology mashup, the likes of which were popularized by Virgin Comics’ Ramayan 3392 Ad.

The amazing people at Dharmatic Entertainment and Disney+ Hotstar thought that it was a genuinely great idea to release a show called Showtime, starring Emraan Hashmi and Mahima Makwana, in two parts. The first four episodes were released in March, and the next three episodes were released in July. For some reason, if you did watch it and remember nothing about it, there’s a detailed explainer for Part 1 that you can read. Here’s the not-so-detailed version: Prior to his death, the founder of Viktory Studios, Viktor Khanna, revealed that he had an affair back in the day, and his “illegitimate” granddaughter was an up-and-coming film critic, Mahika Nandy.
In addition to that, Viktor’s will stated that Mahika was going to be the owner of Viktory Studios, not his son, Raghu Khanna. That obviously led to a lot of mud-slinging. Mahika tried to make a film called 1857 with Armaan Singh,...

Manoj Bajpayee, known as one of India’s finest actors, is adopting a mass-market action hero persona in upcoming film “Bhaiyya Ji.”
The story, where Bajpayee’s character faces off against a powerful man and his henchmen to seek revenge for wrongs done to his family, is literally ripped from the headlines. The actor read the real-life story in a newspaper several years ago and it stayed with him.
“I wanted to do an independent film and really explore this mindset of revenge, where it comes from, really analyze it and find the psychology of revenge in the human mind, that fascinated me,” Bajpayee told Variety.

Mumbai, Jan 11 (Ians) The superhero narrative is not an easy genre to pull off. Many storytellers have successfully narrated the good vs evil saga aided by high-end VFX and CGI in Indian cinema and in Hollywood. When director Prasanth Varma set out to make this film, he had his job cut out for him when he decided to mount the film ‘HanuMan’ which draws its strength from Indian mythology.
And the director comes out with flying colours as he skillfully combines the narrative of an underdog and Indian mythology to craft an entertaining and a visually captivating film.
The film follows the story of Hanumanthu, played by Teja Sajja. He is a playful village lad in the fictional world of Anjanadri, who doesn’t want to take on the responsibilities of adulthood. An attempt to save a village girl, whom he loves, from the evil forces leads him on the...

Animal Movie Review: Ram Gopal Varma Finds Ranbir Kapoor Better Than Leonardo DiCaprio Of Wolf Of Wall Street ( Photo Credit – YouTube; IMDb; Instagram )
Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal has sparked a genuine debate about where to draw the line once violence and s*x are involved. It has also raised eyebrows about the Censor Board’s selective axing and chopping of scenes since Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s gangster drama is clearly high on two things – s*x and violence.
The film creates a debate, precisely like Reddy’s previous film, Kabir Singh. While some hailed it, Swanand Kirkire recently called the film terrible and embarrassing. He even questioned the way women have been treated in the film.
Now, Ram Gopal Varma has offered his two cents about the film in a very long review. The Satya filmmaker wrote a very long and elaborate note on how the film is and shared it on his Twitter account.

Can violence ever be humorous? It can, if you are Quentin Tarantino or Guy Ritchie, or nearer home Sriram Raghavan or Raj-dk, the duo that sticks its neck out so far, you fear for their hair.
Guns & Gulaabs (probably a tilt of the protagonist Tipu’s topi to the rock band Guns & Roses) is set around the 1970s and 80s in a lawless town named Gulaabganj, adjoining the town Sherganj . Just when you thought there would be a Romeo and Juliet from the two warring towns , we are told there is a lovelorn Romeo, Tipu played by the irresistibly goofy Rajkummar Rao who pines for a school teacher Lekha on a mo’ped(T J Bhanu).
Now Tipu is no Sultan of romance. Fuck, he can’t even write! So he gets a prim and propah schoolboy who listens to love songs by Aerosmith...

The actress took to Twitter to share a few pictures of her character ‘Vidya’ from the 1998 Ram Gopal Varma directorial ‘Satya’, the film which has gained a cult status over the years.
The actor captioned the images: “25yrs of Satya n of playing simple naive chawl girl Vidya at the peak of a scintillating glamorous career.
