BREAKING: Digital18 media issues public notice over OMG franchise rights amid buzz around Oh My Goddess

-
In a development that has raised eyebrows, Digital18 Media Private Limited has issued a public notice asserting its ownership and legal rights over the OMG (Oh My God) franchise. The notice, published on January 10, 2026, in Atul Mohan’s Complete Cinema magazine, formally cautions all entities against developing, marketing, or producing any derivative, sequel, prequel, or spin-off of OMG 2 (2023) without Digital18’s written consent. According to the notice, Digital18 Media Private Limited, aka Digital18, is the successor-in-interest to the studios business of Viacom18 Media Private Limited, following a court-approved Composite Scheme of Arrangement effective November 14, 2024. This makes Digital18 the joint owner and co-proprietor of all derivative and franchise rights arising from the cinematograph film OMG 2, including its goodwill, brand value, and public association. The strongly worded notice places “all persons and entities” on alert that any communication or arrangement concer...

The Virgin Suicides review – Sofia Coppola’s debut rereleased with solemn trigger-warning

Sunlit suburban calm masks the shocking nature of the story itself: a horrendous tragedy in the guise of a teenage coming-of-age movie

Nearly a quarter of a century ago, Sofia Coppola made her feature directing debut with this adaptation of the literary sensation of its day: Jeffrey Eugenides’s novel about five teen sisters in 70s suburban Michigan who take their own lives. Now it is rereleased with a solemn trigger-warning disclaimer at the beginning about certain historic attitudes which might now cause offence; these are unspecified, but appears to mean the entire premise of the film, up there in the title, but which is treated more circumspectly nowadays in the context of new ideas around self-harm and “suicidal ideation”.

This was a movie which mystified as many as it entranced, and it would be honest of me to admit that I didn’t quite understand it back in 2000, and maybe don’t quite now. But I can perhaps appreciate with more clarity its artistry and poise and the confident way Coppola allows her film to be serenely mysterious and almost affectless in its sunlit suburban calm, a reticence which appears to mask the shocking nature of the story itself: a horrendous tragedy in the guise of a teenage coming-of-age movie.

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...
