Indian patriotic films are either understated or take the jingoistic route to portray love for the country. There have been many films in the past that have explored the Bangladesh War, but most of them are based on the events that led to the liberation of Bangladesh. There are a few other films based on real-life army heroes who have trudged through the worst of times to provide our country with ultimate glory. We had Amazon Prime Original Shershah, which covered the story and sacrifice of the eternal Captain Vikram Batra during the Kargil War. Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi was the story of a spy during the peak of the Bangladesh Liberation War. We believe the director took inspiration from how the 1971 war was won, and this directorial venture covers the illustrious life of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, who was affectionately known as “Sam Bahadur” by his comrades.

Actor Jaideep Ahlawat, who is known for ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘Paatal Lok’, ‘Gabbar is Back’ and ‘Raazi’, feels that the medium of audio storytelling enhances the imagination of the audience in a big way. The actor recently lent his voice to the Hindi version of the Marvel superhero Hawkeye in the audio podcast ‘Marvel’s Wastelanders’.
Talking about the same, Jaideep told Ians: “Audio storytelling enhances your imagination a lot more compared to the visual medium. In old times, grandmothers used to narrate fables to the kids, that too was audio-driven storytelling and what it did to kids was it opened up their imagination.”
“Those fables gave the power of a vivid imagination to kids as they pictured in their minds the characters and the world of the story narrated to them. So, audio storytelling is more fun and exciting because it demands an active participation of the listener,” he added.

Actor Alia Bhatt has now finally made her transition from Bollywood to Hollywood with her new spy-thriller-action film ‘Heart of Stone’, where she stars alongside popular Israeli actress Gal Gadot. Speaking about her transition, Alia said that suddenly doing a movie in full English language was a bit weird for her, but overall it was a great experience for her.
In an interview with the Toronto Sun, Alia was asked about her transition where she said: “You know it was a bit awkward for me speaking in English all time, because I’m so used to speaking in Hindi even though I use English half the time, suddenly acting in English was a bit weird.”
“But apart from that, day one… kind of awkwardness, I really really felt that it was the same. The process of a film set world over is exactly the same,” she added.

‘Bhed Chaal’ is a Hindi proverb very much used in relation to the Hindi film industry. It means that one huge success is followed by numerous other attempts. Original ideas are at a premium in the Hindi film industry. The makers either depend on a foreign film, or a novel, or a South Indian film for a subject.
Filmmakers always want to play safe because the risk factor is always high. The distributor, while being wined and dined, gets a sales pitch, like “Zanjeer se kam nahi hamari picture…” and such. Many smaller-budget imitations of ‘Sholay’, ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Deewaar’ and other such films flooded the market. That is to say, if one action film worked, many more were certain to follow.
With the introduction of the video format followed by CDs, the trend changed to copying Hollywood films. A star was sent two videos or discs to watch, and they were...

Over the years, the definition of a man has changed its course, and with time the represention of the modern man has also changed in Indian Cinema. Gone are the times when men were just macho heroes rescuing women. This is the era of vulnerable, compassionate and sensitive men. Men who can cry, who are not shy about seeking help when they need it and acknowledging the worth of the women in their lives. Men who can express their feelings and not hide them.
Many Bollywood male characters written by women have played a big role in breaking the mould of a stereotypical hero.
This change has been a product of increasing number of female writers. Women writers have actually played a big role in breaking the stereotypes around masculinity, by creating male characters who are sensitive, understanding and would cheer for women.

Superhero movies and romantic comedies agree: Love is the most powerful force in the universe. It compels iconic heroes as well as wayward lovers, resets the moral compass and cleanses the soul. That is the ethos behind “Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva,” the first installment in a Bollywood trilogy from director Ayan Mukerji. The film is both sci-fi/fantasy and Bollywood romance, an ambitious introduction to a mythological cinematic universe with the expected hiccups of building a massive world from scratch. It’s an admirable attempt and unmissable theatrical experience for any Bollywood fan.
“Shiva” sets up Mukerji’s “Astraverse” saga, in which a group of humans protect the sacred light of the universe in its various forms, called Astras: Water, earth, wind, and the film’s fire — but also animal powers, like the bull or monkey. The Brahmāstra is the last of these energies, carrying the essence of all of them,...

Exclusive: Since it opened in late February, Hindi crime drama Gangubai Kathiawadi has been racking up impressive numbers at the international box office and setting pandemic-era records for an Indian title. Starring Alia Bhatt, the feminist tale based on the true story of a girl from an affluent family sold into prostitution who became a so-called “mafia queen” of Mumbai, is proving a rare breakout for a female-led Bollywood feature.
At home, the Pen Studio-backed film has grossed 117.5 crore ($15.4M), making it the biggest title of 2022 locally and the second-biggest of the pandemic. The well-reviewed pic, directed and co-written by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, has also been particularly strong in the 7 markets where Paramount is releasing, including the UK. (Read Deadline’s review here.)

Despite her young age, India-born British actress Alia Bhatt has sustained herself as a leading lady in Hindi cinema for the past decade, racking up credits including Gully Boy, Raazi and Highway.
Among the awards and box office successes have also been a selection of high-profile premieres at international festivals, which is not routinely a route trodden by Indian cinema.
Her 2014 crime pic Highway debuted at the Berlin International Film festival, as did the 2019 musical drama Gully Boy. This year, she is back with Gangubai Kathiawadi, the feminist tale of a sex worker who rises to become a powerful underworld figure.
Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who Bhatt tells us below in an interview she has always wanted to work with, the film also features an extended cameo from Ajay Devgn, and a turn from Vijay Raaz as a transsexual character.
The actress talks us through the film’s lengthy process to screen, which included a Covid-related production delay and pandemic-enforced release delays, as well as her hopes for breaking into western cinema after signing with WME last year.
Gangubai Kathiawadi premieres on February 16 in Berlin’s Special Gala program.
Deadline: How much are you looking forward to this film screening in Berlin?
Alia Bhatt: I have been to Berlin twice before so I hope third time’s a charm, even though the first two were pretty charming. This is one of the most challenging, emotional parts, one which I’ve connected with the most. I lived with it for two years while we shot the film, it’s super close to my heart.
Deadline: Make sure to dress up warm for the premiere…
Bhatt: I’ll be wearing a sari, so I will freeze, but then I’ll make sure I put a nice shawl around myself.
Deadline: What was your initial reaction to reading this part?
Bhatt: It’s funny, the story that I was meant to do with Sanjay Leela Bhansali was originally a love story. We were ready to shoot but the film was shelved for a number of reasons. It was a big dream of mine to be directed by Sanjay. He was quite calm and relaxed because he also had this script Gangubai Kathiawadi, and he said he wanted to make it with me. My first reaction was shock, it was a complete genre shift – this was a hard-hitting, almost gangster-like character that I had to play. My second reaction was acceptance that he wanted me to play the part. In that particular moment I was doubtful I would be able to pull it off, it’s extremely intense and away from the person I am and the life I’ve seen, from anything I’ve experienced. But he had that vision so clearly, I had to go with that experience, who was I to question it?
Deadline: She seems like a bit of a badass. Did you have any nerves around playing a sex worker? India can be quite a conservative country.
Bhatt: Yes, but it’s not that sex workers haven’t been in our cinema in the past. It’s not the most commercial subject, but there have been films made on this subject. I think if you give the audience a really good character, where they come from or who they are becomes secondary. I wasn’t reluctant at all, at the heart of this film are a lot of powerful social points. It’s an underdog story, a story of struggle. Wherever you come from, I think everyone can connect to a story of rising from struggle.
Deadline: It looks like quite an empowering, feminist story, was that aspect appealing to you?
Bhatt: Absolutely. The feminist in me was even more activated after this part. I became more sensitive to the conversation of equality, which has been ongoing for a while, and will continue until there’s no need for it.
Deadline: Talking about representation and roles for women, do you feel like Bollywood, and the wider Indian film industry, has improved in terms of its handling of female characters?
Bhatt: Most definitely, although there have been strong characters written for women for many years now. Even so, we still have the conversation of female-led films, female directors being a new thing, it’s looked upon as unique which I don’t understand.
Deadline: There has been some debate about the fact Vijay Raaz plays a trans character in the film (the actor is not trans), do you have an opinion on that?
Bhatt: I have heard this conversation various times for different films. While I do understand where they’re coming from, I feel like it’s up to the director and their vision. It’s not there to offend anyone, maybe the director found it interesting to have an actor like Vijay Raaz, who identifies as male, play a trans character. The audience has never seen him that way, you see the actor and the ability to transform within that person. I think that’s a better perspective, but I do understand where people are coming from.
Deadline: This film marks Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 25th year in the Hindi film industry, tell me about the experience of collaborating with him.
Bhatt: It was everything that I expected and more. I knew it would be a magical experience, I’ve been a fan of his work over the years, and I really got to the heart of where that comes from. I feel like there is so much more to discover. He doesn’t make films because he needs to get them done in X-number of days – that’s why he’s known for making films for a long time – he wants to flesh out every moment in every scene. He gives the actor so much room to create, to discover. If I’m not getting a scene, he’ll give me an hour to get it right. For the two years that we shot the film, it was like I was in a world of my own. I don’t think there’s any director I’ve worked with who cares so much about me doing my best.
Deadline: You had a production delay because of the lockdown back in spring 2020 – what was that experience like?
Bhatt: It was very challenging, but as a world at that point we didn’t know what had hit us. I don’t think anyone expected it to go online as long as it did. The world was in distress, that enveloped the feeling of ‘what’s going to happen to my film?’ I chose to not be selfish and think about myself, and wait for things to settle, taking each day as it came. Going back on set after six months, there was a new invigorating energy that came into the whole crew. There was now a deeper purpose to complete the film.
Deadline: The release was also delayed, it’s finally happening now on February 25, how is cinema faring in India at the moment?
Bhatt: I think it’s just about taking off again. We’re still running at lesser capacity in two major sectors. There have been a couple of films released that have fared well at the box office. Spider-Man did really well over here. In India film viewing is very close to the audience, it’s like spirituality for them, they need to go to the theaters. People want to get out of their homes. I believe people will go to the theaters if we give them the movies. Slowly the confidence will come back to those who are scared [of Covid]. The theater experience is irreplaceable.
Deadline: During the pandemic we’ve seen the streaming services rise in influence around the world, including in India, one of your recent films, Darlings, will now premiere on Netflix. How does that compare to the experience of releasing a film theatrically like Gangubai Kathiawadi?
Bhatt: Honestly, I think Ott has been great. There are a lot of films that don’t have a widespread audience, that people may not want to go to the theater to see, but they will watch it at home, and it can travel across the world that way. Today I am sitting in India and I’m watching Korean content, Spanish content. It has made the world a much smaller place. Good content will always travel. I’m excited about Darlings going on Ott, I think it’s an Indian story that people can enjoy globally.
Deadline: You signed with WME last year, when can we expect your Hollywood debut?
Bhatt: [Laughs] Hopefully soon! Through the pandemic things have slowed down a bit, but we’re going to make this happen. When there’s a will, there’s a way.

Premiere
Sky will premiere its upcoming Sky Original documentary “Hawking: Can You Hear Me?”, described as the human story behind one of the 20th century’s best known scientific minds, Stephen Hawking, on Sept. 20. The broadcaster has also shared a new first-look image – a family photograph made available to the public for the first time – to accompany the announcement. In the photo, Professor Hawking can be seen with his then wife Jane and children Robert and Lucy on their California estate in 1974.
The documentary will feature interviews and archival footage provided by family and colleagues, many of whom are speaking publicly for the first time since Hawking’s death in 2018. Rather than focusing on Dr. Hawking’s tremendous achievements in cosmology, the feature examines the human cost of generational genius. Contributors include Hawking’s children Robert, Lucy and Tim, his first wife Jane, and several renowned scientists who were influenced...
