Jackky Bhagnani returns to acting after six years with Independence Day anthem 'Tere Rang Mein': "I wanted the street credibility and respect of Gen Z"

Jackky Bhagnani has returned to acting after a six-year gap with the Independence Day anthem 'Tere Rang Mein,' released under his music label Jjust Music. The actor-producer said the song offered him an opportunity to return to the screen with a project that was personally meaningful to him. Bhagnani described himself as a patriot and said the nature of the song played an important role in his decision to face the camera again. “I am a patriot by heart. It’s been quite some time since I faced the camera. So, I thought the best way to come back is with the right cause,” Bhagnani said. The actor's return comes after several years of focusing primarily on film production. According to Bhagnani, stepping away from acting was a conscious decision as he worked behind the scenes and became more involved in producing films.

A Remake Of The Austrian Horror Movie From 2014 Is Called Goodnight Mommy, Featuring Naomi Watts

In the upcoming remake of the same-titled 2014 Austrian horror movie, which will be released on Prime Video, Watts will co-star with Big Little Lies alumni Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti, Peter Hermann. When twin brothers Cameron and Nicholas (ages 14) visit their mother in the country and see that her face is covered in bandages as a result of recent cosmetic surgery, she claims they know something is amiss. She behaves entirely differently from the mother they once knew: She enforces strange house rules, smokes in her bathroom, and covertly destroys a drawing they created for her. The boys start to question whether their mother is really hiding behind the gauze as her conduct becomes increasingly odd. Every role demands that Watts, 53, "examines some aspect of myself; perhaps something deep within me that has been unlocked will come through." "Although a consistent theme has run through my career, I always look for assignments that might teach me something new. This was not any different, she adds. To confront such darkness was truly harrowing. Undoubtedly, it was one of the most difficult characters I've ever performed. With some of her decisions, it was nearly impossible to relate to her. With her young co-stars, Watts claims to have taken extra precautions, saying, "I was painfully conscious of how cautious I needed to be with this specific material. After a difficult moment, "I was continually monitoring in with them and their mom," she recalls. I tried to joke around with them and maintain a light mood since it was crucial to me to maintain some humor. Matt Sobel, the director, continues by saying that he thinks the original movie "combine(s) fascinating mystery and thrills with deep and evocative emotion." And when creating the new movie, which leans more toward the psychological thriller than the horror subgenre, "I saw an opportunity to keep this unique blend while injecting a brand new set of ideas we wanted to explore," Sobel says.

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...

Omen (Augure) review – Baloji offers secrets and sorcery in Congolese homecoming

Musician and film-maker’s story about a Belgian-Congolese man who takes his white wife to DRC to meet the family is complex, risky and bold Congolese-born rapper, musician and film-maker Baloji (né Serge Baloji Tshiani) was a prizewinner at Cannes last year with this feature directing debut: a dynamic, teemingly populated, multistranded and tonally elusive picture which I initially thought would benefit from comparisons with Jordan Peele’s horror classic Get Out. In fact, it’s more complicated than that. Koffi (Marc Zinga) is a Congolese man living in Belgium and married to a white woman, Alice (Lucie Debay). They are about to have twins and Koffi feels that he cannot put it off any further: whatever his family will think, the couple must journey back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to let them see Alice and let them get used to the idea. It particularly means propitiating his fiercely conservative mother Mujila (Yves-Marina Gnahoua). He takes care to shave off his westernis...
