BREAKING: The RajaSaab ends with the promise of a sequel titled RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935

-
The Prabhas-starrer The RajaSaab has sprung a major surprise on audiences, with the film ending on a clear hint that the story is far from over. In a move that will set social media buzzing, the makers reveal in the final moments that the film will continue in a sequel titled RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935. While The RajaSaab largely plays out as a horror-comedy mounted on a lavish scale, its closing stretch opens the doors to a much bigger universe. The title Circus 1935 suggests that the sequel will travel back in time, promising a blend of vintage aesthetics, mystery and spectacle, elements that align well with director Maruthi’s penchant for mixing genre thrills with mass entertainment. With The RajaSaab already generating strong buzz for its scale, visuals and Prabhas’ larger-than-life presence, the announcement of RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935 has only amplified the excitement among fans. Interestingly, the title hints at a darker, more enigmatic setting, with a circus backdrop from the 19...

-
The popular Telugu director Vamshi Paidipally is all set to make his debut in Hindi, and that too with a project starring Salman Khan.

Béla Tarr’s quest for cinematic perfection made him my ideal, impossible mentor | László Nemes

-
The Son of Saul director recalls how getting his first job as assistant to the austere master was a hard but inspiring lesson in the most ambitious kind of movie-making News: Hungarian director Béla Tarr dies aged 70 The last time I saw Béla Tarr was a few years ago at the Nexus conference in Amsterdam. We were invited to speak about the state of the world and of the arts. We both thought light and darkness existed in the world, even if our perception about them differed. Béla was already weakened in his body, but the spirit was still ferocious, rebellious, furious. We sat down to talk. It seemed fairly obvious this would be our ultimate, and most heartfelt, conversation. As the former apprentice, I was able to see the master one last time, with all his rage, sorrow, love and hate. I first met Béla in 2004 when he was preparing The Man from London. I wanted to learn film-making and applied to become an assistant on the film. He gave me my first real job: as an assistant, I had to fi...

EXCLUSIVE: After Animal, Pushpa 2 and Dhurandhar, Border 2 joins the ELITE 3+ hour club; runtime expected to be around 3 hours 20 minutes

-
There was a time, not too long ago, when it was considered that films should not be too lengthy; or else, it might put off a section of the audience. But in 2023, the myth was broken by Animal (2023). It had a runtime of 3 hours and 23 minutes. Pushpa 2 (2025), meanwhile, was also long – 3 hours 20 minutes. Dhurandhar, the biggest hit of 2025 and Hindi cinema, went one step further as it was 3 hours and 34 minutes long. Incidentally, all three were major blockbusters. And joining this elite list is Border 2. Bollywood Hungama has learned that the period war drama’s run time has exceeded 3 hours. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Border 2 is around 200 minutes long. In other words, its duration is around 3 hours and 20 minutes. The exact run time might change by a few minutes after the final touches are given. It will be locked in a few days and will be known once the film secures a censor certificate.” The source further added, “The makers feel that it was necessary for the film to h...

Hamnet review – Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley beguile and captivate in audacious Shakespearean tragedy

-
Chloé Zhao’s film version of Maggie O’Farrell’s myth-making novel powerfully reimagines the agonising loss of a child as the source of Hamlet’s grand stage drama ‘The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears …” This is Francis Bacon’s essay Of Parents and Children; maybe they were more secret in his day than ours. This kind of secrecy and revelation is part of Chloé Zhao’s deeply felt romantic fantasy about the origin of William Shakespeare’s tragedy Hamlet. It locates the play’s beginning in the imagined anguish of Shakespeare and his wife Agnes (or Anne) Hathaway at the death of their son Hamnet at the age of 11 in 1596, a few years before the play’s first performance. The nearness of the names is not supposed to be some monumental Freudian slip; there is linguistic evidence that the two could be used interchangeably. The movie is inspired by Maggie O’Farrell’s 2020 novel of the same name – Zhao co-wrote the screenplay with O’Farrell – as well as the 2004 essa...
