The Lion King review – Disney’s Broadway juggernaut roars to life in Sydney

-
Capitol theatre, Sydney With breathtaking aesthetics and joyous performances, the audacious adaptation – now almost 30 years old – is greater than the sum of its parts Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email The opening of The Lion King is a bona fide five-star moment that reminds you why this musical still rules the theatrical savannah. Forgoing the sentimentality of the 1994 film and the razzle-dazzle of its Broadway peers at the time, it taps into more primal, powerful delights. From its first incantation (translated as “All hail the king” – or “Look, a lion, oh my god”, depending on who you ask ), it builds with a chant, a gathering of human bodies, and finally a procession of animals that leaves the stage to come into the audience, enveloping you in a kind of choreographed ritual. (This is a good moment to check in on your date; if they’re not Having Feelings, they may be some kind of joyless ghoul.) This sequence encapsulates the best of the show: director Julie Taymor...

The list of contestants on Kangana Ranaut's show Lock Upp includes Sunil Pal, Payal Rohatgi, and Poonam Pandey.

-

On February 27, Kangana Ranaut presented the reality show Lock Upp, which was produced by Ekta Kapoor and premiered on ALT Balaji and MX Player. The names of five of the show's 16 contentious competitors were released by the producers prior to the show's grand premiere. Every candidate was revealed individually on the night of the debut, and as expected, the contestants are controversial personalities who have recently made headlines for the wrong reasons.

From Sunil Pal to Payal Rohatgi to Poonam Pandey, here’s the list of contestants on Kangana Ranaut’s show Lock Upp

The following is the full list of contestants:


Nisha Rawal made headlines last year after accusing her then-husband Karan Mehra of physical violence and having an adulterous affair. She had also filed a police report against him and organised a news conference to discuss the alleged domestic abuse in greater detail. Karan, on the other hand, has refuted all charges.


Munawar Faruqui: The stand-up comedian made headlines in January 2021 when he was imprisoned for a month after a BJP MLA's son accused him of offending religious sensitivities in one of his stand-up gigs. Several of his live gigs in Bengaluru were cancelled later that year due to protests by Hindu right-wing groups.

Babita Phogat: One of the less controversial competitors, Babita won the gold medal in the women's freestyle 55 kg division at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. She and her husband Vivek Suhag had previously been on the show Nach Baliye 9.

Sara Khan rose to fame after appearing on Bigg Boss 4 and marrying Ali Merchant on the show. They split, however, after only a few months, sparking suspicions about whether their marriage was staged for the purpose of gaining TRP.


Karanvir Bohra, who has appeared in Shararat, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, and Naagin, was also a contestant on Bigg Boss 12.


Payal Rohatgi has been in a number of films and television shows. She is, nevertheless, frequently in the news for her divisive remarks on a variety of national issues.

Siddharth Sharma has appeared on reality shows such as Big F and Splitsvilla, as well as playing Ranbir in the web series Puncch Beat.


Shivam Sharma was once a member of Splitsvilla.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
