PIL targets The Kerala Story 2, seeks removal of ‘Kerala’ from title amid communal concerns

-
A new Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed before the Kerala High Court challenging the title and release of the recently released film The Kerala Story 2. The petition, submitted on March 3 by a retired social science teacher and a practicing lawyer, calls for the removal of the word “Kerala” from the film’s title, arguing that it unfairly associates the State with sensitive and controversial themes. According to the plea, the petitioners contend that the film’s title and subject matter risk portraying Kerala in a negative light. They have alleged that the narrative reportedly depicts the State as a centre for forced religious conversions, a portrayal they believe could damage its social and cultural image. The petition also references an ongoing legal tussle involving the filmmakers. It notes that the producers have approached a Division Bench of the High Court challenging a recent interim order issued by a Single Bench, which had temporarily stayed the film’s release. T...

Kiara Advani replaces Katrina Kaif; will now feature as the face of Slice

-

For the past few years, each summer the popular fruit-based drink Slice has featured none other than Katrina Kaif as its brand ambassador. However, Bollywood Hungama has now learnt that the brand has made a change. If what we hear is true, then Kiara Advani who is currently on a high with the success of Shershaah, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, and JugJugg Jeeyo will be replacing Katrina as the face of the brand.

Kiara Advani replaces Katrina Kaif; will now feature as the face of Slice

Commenting on the change a source close to the brand informed Bollywood Hungama, “Katrina Kaif has been the face of the brand for a while now. However, things change, and Kiara, who has been enjoying a lot of success at the box office, has now become rather popular with the audience as well. Given this, the brand felt that re-aligning their image and position with Kiara Advani as their new face of the brand was perfect.” Ask the source for details about the TVC and he continues, “Right now, Kiara Advani has only been signed on as the brand ambassador, the TVC is yet to be shot. As per schedule, Kiara has allocated dates to shoot for the TVC next week, once completed a formal announcement of Kiara now being the brand ambassador will be made along with the advertisements being unveiled”.

Now with yet another brand name under her belt, Kiara Advani seems to be doing rather well. Back on the work front, the actress is currently gearing up for her soon-to-release film Govinda Naam Mera followed by the Kartik Aaryan starrer Satyaprem Ki Katha and the Telugu film with Ram Charan tentatively titled RC15.

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...
