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.

The Kashmir Files row at IFFI: Darshan Kumaar defends Vivek Agnihotri directorial; says, “Film is not about vulgarity. It is the reality”

The IFFI jury’s head Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid’s outburst against Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files at the festival’s closing ceremony—Lapid called the film vulgar and inappropriate—has shocked the ardent supporters of the film, including its leading man Darshan Kumaar.

The Kashmir Files row at IFFI: Darshan Kumaar defends Vivek Agnihotri directorial; says, “Film is not about vulgarity. It is the reality”

Says Darshan, “Everyone has his own individual opinions on anything he sees and how he perceives it. But one can’t deny the fact that The Kashmir Files is a film which has depicted the actual plight of the dispossessed homeless Kashmiri Pandit community who are still fighting for justice against the brutal acts of terrorism. This film is not about vulgarity. It’s the reality.”

Darshan admits he didn't know much about Kashmiri Pandits when he was signed for The Kashmir Files. “I really feel ashamed of myself. Just like today's audience, I too was confused and unaware. I only realised when Vivek ji and Pallavi Ma'am showed me those videos of the first-generation victims. I was totally taken aback and that’s when I thought the truth should be brought forward and I wanted to be a part of this journey.”

The Kashmir Files has changed Darshan. “I feel I'm not the same person anymore. This film has changed me from within. Just like the pandemic where one virus started in one country and spread all over the world ... It taught us to love and care of each other ... The recent Russian-Ukraine war led to a complete market crash which shows the world is one. Similarly, this movie shows us the brutal truth and actual pain that inhumanity causes. Its heart wrenching. So this movie has enlightened not only me but the entire public and gives a message to live in harmony and make this world a better place to live in.”

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...
