Red Sonja review – pixie-ish Matilda Lutz steps into Brigitte Nielsen’s battle corset for action remake

The revival of Nielsen’s 80s classic applies CGI and flashbacks a little too liberally, but there’s the odd glimmer of wit in an otherwise clunky script Ever since Brigitte Nielsen unlaced her battle corset after shooting ended on pulpy fantasy actioner Red Sonja back in the 1980s, there’s been talk of sequels and/or reboots. Truffle around the internet and you’ll find a saga to rival the finest in Old Norse about deals signed and projects greenlit and then abandoned over the years, with names attached to direct ranging from X-Men’s Bryan Singer to Transparent’s Joey Soloway. What a shame Soloway’s version never got off the ground because that surely would have been a hoot, and probably more interesting than this soggy, CGI-infused, low-budget confection that’s finally arrived.

SCOOP: Adah Sharma stars alongside Darsheel Safary in a ‘strange thriller’

Adah Sharma’s The Kerala Story is now the single most successful female-hero film of all times in Hindi. But Adah is already looking ahead. “In my next The Game Of Girgit, I play a cop. It's a cool film based on this app called the Blue Whale app. There was this whole thing a few years back. This game created quite an uproar. It should release soon on an OTT platform,” she informed.

Adah was busy with other projects while shooting for The Kerala Story. “I've shot The Game Of Girgit and two more films before The Kerala Story. Kerala happened to release first. We shot The Game Of Girgit in Bhopal last August. There’s one more film I did with Darsheel Safary, who was in Taare Zameen Par. That’s also a strange thriller, a lot of fun and creepy,” added Adah.

Adah, who celebrated her birthday on May11, sheepishly admits that she received far more attention on this birthday than ever before.

Directed by Sudipto Sen and produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, The Kerala Story also stars Yogita Bihani, Siddhi Idnani and Sonia Balani. The film tells the story of three college girls, who are persuaded to convert to Islam by a fellow female student.
