A trio of world premieres from bankable stars across the Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam languages forms the thrust of streamer Amazon Prime Video India’s push into the country’s lucrative Southern market. It comes at a time when cinemas remain shuttered due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Malayalam-language drama “C U Soon,” starring Fahadh Faasil (“Trance”) bows Sept. 1 on the service, while action thriller “V” headlined by Nani (S.S. Rajamouli’s “Eega”) premieres Sept. 5, and aviation biopic “Soorarai Pottru” starring Suriya (“Singam”) is scheduled for Oct. 30.
Of the giant streamers in India, Amazon was the first to seize the opportunity arising from the enforced shutdown of the theatrical business. It announced the world premieres of “Gulabo Sitabo,” starring Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana, and “Shakuntala Devi,” starring Vidya Balan as bypassing cinemas.
Rivals, Disney Plus Hotstar and Netflix followed suit with strong slates of their own, including Sushant Singh Rajput...

MollywoodThe thing about Roshan is that he dons every character skillfully — from a rapist to a reckless college student to a gay man with speech disability.Neetha JohnRoshan Mathew's progress in the Malayalam film industry has been very evident — slowly, slowly and then bam! It wouldn’t be wrong to say that during this lockdown, with movies being exclusively released on Ott platforms, his face has been the most prominent from the Malayalam film industry. The first time that Roshan Mathew wriggled into our constantly updated favourite-actors list with his curly hair and his disarming smile was with Aanandam (2016). His position in our ever changing list was consolidated by his role in Anjali Menon’s Koode (2018). Roshan, not much later, strengthened his presence in the smaller but mightier kingdom of talent-dom with his roles in Geetu Mohandas’s Moothon (2019) and Anurag Kashyap’s Choked (2020). How about a stroll down the...

MollywoodIt is an appreciable trend that actors of the newer generation seem to embrace any sort of role with joy.CrisSreenath BhasiIt's unlikely to be the image you would want people to have of you. A gigantic crown on your head, a hideous laugh, a chase on a rainy terrace, an assault to weepy background music and then the final smirk on the face. Roshan Mathew, a favourite with critics, had begun his film career with a forgettable rapist character, one among a few, assaulting a homemaker while proudly announcing that she’d be the sixth. Puthiya Niyamam, a movie with stars like Mammootty and Nayanthara in the lead, was remembered for other reasons. It was a year later that Roshan’s face became more familiar even as he played one of the many young people — most making their debut — in a college romance called Aanandam. Just as you thought...

Choked Paisa Bolta Hai
Starring Saiyami Kher, Roshan Matthew, Amruta Subhash, Rajshree Deshpande
Directed by Anurag Kashyap
Our prime minister Narendra Modi makes a guest appearance in Choked, Anurag Kashyap’s latest homage to the spirit of quirkiness where the characters are for once, not killing each other. This is Kashyap’s first film where no one one dies a brutal death with their head smashed by a hammer or blown away by a gunshot. Thank Kashyap, the God of Gore, for small mercies.
Everyone lives in Choked, even when demonetization nearly kills them all. The people who inhabit Kashyap’s universe this time are way too gentle by his standards. The most violent occurrence is a scuffle between two friends over a game of carrom.
Is the Wasseypur sharpshooter softening as he grows older? There is distinctive tenderness in tone specially when it comes to portraying the low middleclass couple Sarita and Sushant.

Anurag Kashyap, the “angry young man” of Hindi cinema, whose creative genius envisioned works like “Gangs of Wasseypur“, “Dev D” and “Ugly” has always made films that are a warcry- a rebel with a cause to detract from the joie de vivre of Bollywood. Each of his films are decked upon another, a tryst with a dark caricature of the subaltern milieu, anchored at the helm by contemporary politics and violence. In an interview, Kashyap describes his latest endeavour “Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai” as a Sai Paranjpye thriller. Descriptions and definitions apart, it is starkly liberating from the Kashyap-esque tradition of filmmaking in terms of its storytelling and critique. As is his wont to stand ground against the establishment, Kashyap barters the nuances of a refined story for a more didactically inclined narrative.
The opening shot is of a man walking briskly up a staircase with an attache case,...

ReviewThe film begins in October 2016 in Mumbai, a month before Pm Modi announced the demonetisation of high value currency notes. Sowmya RajendranSarita is like millions of Indian women who have to do it all – work at home and work in their office, with no time for rest or relaxation. Her husband, Sushant, sits around all day doing nothing, shamefaced about Sarita having to pick up his slack but thick-skinned enough to maintain the status quo. The drain in their kitchen is a point of conflict. It gurgles, it chokes, it spills out water into the kitchen... it’s a curse, until it’s not. Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai, directed by Anurag Kashyap and written by Nihit Bhave, is now streaming on Netflix. The film begins in October 2016 in Mumbai, a month before Pm Modi announced the demonetisation of high value currency notes. It’s an imaginative little story about imaginative little people.
