Pratibha Ranta not a part of Kartik Aaryan’s Naagzilla; confirms source

-
Rumours suggested that Pratibha Ranta might be the “frontrunner” for Kartik Aaryan’s Naagzilla. However, a source close to the film has clarified that the Laapataa Ladies actress has not been approached for the project. As per the source, “There’s no truth to the speculation. Pratibha Ranta has not been approached for Naagzilla. Currently, she's reading a lot of scripts and is busy working on her next big project.” Pratibha Ranta may be reading plenty of scripts, but sources confirm that Naagzilla isn’t one of them. Instead, she’s eagerly awaiting The Revolutionaries, her most ambitious upcoming project. The recently unveiled first look highlights turbulent moments of the Indian freedom struggle while shedding light on lesser-known stories. Pratibha will star alongside Rohit Saraf, Bhuvan Bam, Gurfateh Pirzada, and Jason Shah. Directed by Nikkhil Advani, The Revolutionaries is slated for release on Amazon Prime Video in 2026. She also has another exciting project lined up with K...

A Good Person review – Zach Braff’s tale of self-healing is excruciatingly ersatz

-

Writer/director Braff takes Florence Pugh’s ‘good person who has done a bad thing’ on an contrived journey towards self-forgiveness

In his dual capacity as writer and director, Zach Braff here puts us through an ordeal of excruciating contrived nonsense: a masturbatory Calvary of ersatz empathy and emotional wellness. The film goes on a long, long indie-acoustic healing journey towards indie-acoustic self-forgiveness after Florence Pugh’s Allison accidentally kills her fiance’s sister and husband while driving them in her car, having taken her eyes off the road to look at her phone.

Allison breaks up with her fiance, spirals into OxyContin addiction and alcoholism and then finds herself at 12-step meetings with her fiance’s grieving old dad and AA veteran Daniel, played by Morgan Freeman, who with heartsinking inevitability delivers a sonorous voiceover of cute wisdom over the opening scene. Daniel spends a lot of time tinkering with his model railway and its hand-painted tiny human figures, a controllable mini-universe where there is no pain, you see.

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...
