My Memory Is Full of Ghosts review – deeply moving visual hymn for the bombed-out Syrian city of Homs

Anas Zawahri’s documentary lays heart-wrenching testimony over languorous shots of bullet-ridden ruins and deserted streets The western Syrian city of Homs is only a husk of its former self. Previously a major industrial centre, the region became a key battleground between 2011 and 2014, for Bashar al-Assad’s army and rebel forces. Amid the immense bloodshed, hundreds of thousands of civilians were either displaced or trapped inside their own homes. Filmed in the summer of 2023, this deeply moving documentary from Palestinian-born and Syria-based film-maker Anas Zawahri maps out the collective trauma and sorrow that continue to linger, even after the shooting has stopped. Unfolding in languorous, largely static shots of bombed rubble, hollowed-out buildings, and deserted streets, the film lays bare the startling extent of wartime brutality.

EXCLUSIVE: Jugjugg Jeeyo star Varun Dhawan reveals Karan Johar loves to hang out with Gen Z instead of grown-ups; “Hum jaana bhi nahi chahte”, says Anil Kapoor on not hanging out with him

When Jugjugg Jeeyo trailer was launched with much fanfare, it also featured the relationships that Karan Johar shares with the entire cast of his production, including Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor. On the other hand, the lead actor of the film Varun Dhawan aka Kukoo has been KJo’s ‘student’ since the start of his career and now that he has become a star from just a star kid, he spoke about the filmmaker and his habits. During this exclusive talk with Bollywood Hungama, Varun’s onscreen father Anil Kapoor had an interesting quip to add and needless to say, the ‘Jhakaas’ actor added his witty lines to make it even more entertaining.

EXCLUSIVE: Jugjugg Jeeyo star Varun Dhawan reveals Karan Johar loves to hang out with Gen Z instead of grown-ups; “Hum jaana bhi nahi chahte”, says Anil Kapoor on not hanging out with him

Anil Kapoor was asked to speak about Karan Johar and how his career has continued to be successful for all these years. While dissecting the reason behind his success as a filmmaker and producer, Varun said to Bollywood Hungama, “He understands pop culture very well.” Anil Kapoor continued, “That’s the reason he has been so consistent as a filmmaker, producer, director. You see his track record. People have been successful for what, 5-10 years. I think now Karan has been hugely successful for approximately more than two decades.”


The conversation was then taken over by Varun Dhawan who revealed that Karan Johar hangs out with a lot of the younger generation like Ananya, Sara, Janhvi and even younger ones now, like Shanaya. “So you all have become seniors now,” quipped Anil, to which Varun responded, “He only hangs out with kids. I told him it looks weird and that you are very grown and you need to hang out with adults too, you know!” During this conversation, Neetu joined it adding, “Hum ko toh kabhi invite nahi karega na hangout karne ke liye,” she asked Anil. To the same Anil responded, “Hum jaana bhi nahi chahte,” that left everyone in splits. He continued it in his quirky way, “Bulaya toh achha, nahi bulaya toh aur bhi achha.”

Speaking of Jugjugg Jeeyo, the film features Anil Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor as parents of Varun Dhawan, who is on the verge of divorcing his wife played Kiara Advani. It also stars Maniesh Paul and Prajakta Koli in pivotal roles. Directed by Raj Mehta, the film will hit the big screens on June 24.
