Sense and Sensibility review – blue-chip cast decorates Emma Thompson’s pleasurable Austen adaptation

-
Thirty years later, this richly enjoyable film is back with its quality lineup including Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant alongside Thompson herself Emma Thompson won a screenplay Oscar for this buoyant, vibrant, richly enjoyable adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel. Released in 1995, it was directed by Ang Lee and is a movie with the pleasures of a golden age studio picture of the kind made by William Wyler. It was the second half of Thompson’s Oscar double – she won her first one in 1993 for acting in Howards End – and she is still the only person in Academy Award history to win for acting and writing. With marvellous lightness and gaiety, Thompson found a response to Austen’s comic register, expertly marrying it up to the romance, and 1995 now looks like the golden age of Austen adaptation, having also seen the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle Pride and Prejudice on television and Amy Heckerling’s Emma-homage Clueless at the movies. Thompson paid due attention to Austen’s unique and toughly real...

Shah Rukh Khan NOT to participate in Brahmastra’s promotional activities; respectfully declines the offer

-

The much-awaited trailer of Brahmastra unveiled on June 15. Starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy, the sci-fi film with a dash of mythology has been in the making for a long time and has generated tremendous buzz. What has also added to the hype besides the concept, scale, VFX and the pairing of the real-life couple Ranbir and Alia is the presence of Shah Rukh Khan. As per reports, the superstar has a cameo in the film and his character plays a crucial part in taking the narrative forward.

Shah Rukh Khan NOT to participate in Brahmastra’s promotional activities; respectfully declines the offer

The actor was not seen in the trailer of Brahmastra and it seems that he would be absent from the film’s promotions as well. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The makers of Brahmastra have planned a lot of promotional activities before the release. They were toying with the idea of having Shah Rukh Khan attending an event held to promote Brahmastra. He’s one of the biggest stars today in India and also, he hasn’t made such an appearance since ages. As a result, they felt that if he can make it, then nothing like it.”

However, the superstar respectfully declined the offer. The source continued, “Shah Rukh understood the intention of the makers. He also knows that it’s a passion project for them and has the highest respect for how they have gone all out in giving the film an international look. However, he doesn’t think it’s a good idea for him to attend the promotions of Brahmastra. He felt that they have enough on their plate to excite the audiences, be it music, grandeur, presence of talented actors etc. Also, he wants to keep away from events and media glare for the time being. He’d prefer to attend such film events only for the promotions of his comeback film, Pathaan, which releases on Republic Day 2023. SRK feels that this strategy would work better for the Siddharth Anand-directorial since it features him as the main lead.”

The source then stated, “The makers of Brahmastra, including producer Karan Johar and director Ayan Mukerji, completely agreed with Shah Rukh Khan’s point of view, and have decided to go ahead with the promotions without SRK.” Brahmastra is all set to release on September 9.
