The Mother of All Lies review – pursuing the truth of Morocco’s brutal dictatorship years

-
Asmae El Moudir employs a delicate mix of handmade replicas and oral testimony to brilliantly evoke personal and collective trauma Between those who refuse to remember and those who struggle to forget, a tumultuous clash of minds occupies the centre of Asmae El Moudir’s inventive documentary, a prize-winner at last year’s Cannes film festival. Through a constellation of clay figurines and dollhouse-style miniature sets, most of which were constructed by El Moudir’s father, the director recreates her oppressive childhood in the Sebata district of Casablanca. Under the watchful eyes of her domineering grandmother Zahra, all personal photos are banished from the house, save for a picture of King Hassan II. The delicate mix of handmade replicas and oral testimony brilliantly evokes the personal and collective trauma that stem from Morocco’s “Years of Lead” – a period of state brutality under Hassan II’s dictatorial rule. Lingering on the nimble fingers of El Moudir’s father as he puts t

-

We all know the close bond between Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor. During the promotions of their release Gunday, the duo often shared about their love for cinema, Govinda films, and quintessential 90s Bollywood songs.  Now, we hear that the actors are keen on another collaboration. During a recent interview for Cirkus promotions, Rohit Shetty revealed that he wants the two actors to play the role of Govinda and Chunky Pandey in the remake of the 1993 action comedy Aankhen.

Rohit Shetty explains why Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor are the perfect choice for Govinda starrer Aankhen remake

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Rohit Shetty even went on to explain how the casting pair of Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor would be perfect for the film. He said, “Ranveer can play Govinda’s character, Arjun Kapoor could be Chunky Pandey and Paresh Bhai (Paresh Rawal) would be perfect for Kader Khan In-fact, the Kader Khan track could be done by Govinda, it would be iconic. Imagine, both Govinda and Ranveer in a double role, with Arjun Kapoor.”

He further also clarified on the rights on the film adding, “Copy right hamare pass hai, koi jaake rights maat khareedna (We have the copy right. Please don’t try to purchase the rights of the film).” On the other hand, agreeing with his idea, Ranveer Singh also went on elaborate why he thinks it is a perfect idea. “You won’t believe, I just got a message from Arjun today. And this would be a great cast because Arjun and I are brothers in real life too.”

In the same interview, Rohit Shetty also revealed that Arjun Kapoor was keen on doing the film Cirkus where he wanted to essay the role of Varun Sharma.

For the unversed, Ranveer Singh will be seen in a double role in the forthcoming period comedy Cirkus along with his co-star Varun Sharma who will also be playing a dual role. The film features Jacaqueline Fernandez and Pooja Hegde as the leading ladies along with Murali Sharma, Johnny Lever and others essaying pivotal characters. Directed by Rohit Shetty, the film will release on December 23.

Gasoline Rainbow review – a free-ranging coming-of-age ode to the curiosity of youth

-
Billed as a gen Z road trip film, the Ross brothers’ first fiction feature offers more than you’d expect from the genre, with a focus on human interaction over plot In the opening seconds of the Ross brothers’ new film, a teenager professes his hope to discover a place “weirdos” like him can call home. The opening raises doubts about the novelty of what might follow: the trope of the high school outsider has been endlessly revisited. Gasoline Rainbow – billed as a gen Z road trip movie – starts off by replaying familiar images. As new high school graduates Makai, Micah, Nathaly, Nichole and Tony hit the road across Oregon for one final adventure together, we see the usual trappings of the genre: sing-alongs, parties by the campfire, and leaning out of car windows to enjoy the breeze and sweet call of freedom. We move into welcome new territory when a mishap leaves their van out of action, and the group are left in the hot desert trying to scrounge a path forward, meeting strangers al

Elaha review – sex, patriarchy and second-generation identity

-
A sexually candid, seriously intentioned drama about a young Kurdish woman who feels she has to surgically ‘restore’ her virginity before her wedding There is a heartfelt and courageous performance from 28-year-old Syrian-born, German-based actor Bayan Layla in this drama about sex, patriarchy and second-generation immigrant identity. It is a drama which hits the buttons squarely and efficiently, but might perhaps have played better as a three-part TV drama. Layla plays Elaha, a young woman of Kurdish family background in a German town (director Milena Aboyan is herself German-based and Armenian-Kurdish). She has finished high school and is now attending classes on how to apply for jobs, picking up skills she uses mainly to help her dad find employment. There seems to be no discussion about university, despite her obvious intelligence. Her mum works hard minding Elaha’s younger sister and disabled kid brother, and Elaha has part-time work at a dry-cleaners; she is saving for her wedd
