The Glassworker review – beautiful Ghibli-esque anti-war fable

-
Pakistani animator Usman Riaz’s dazzling debut owes much to Hayao Miyazaki, founder of Japan’s legendary studio, even if the magic and wonder falls a little short of his hero Going by the poster, it looks like Hayao Miyazaki, the founder of Japan’s legendary Studio Ghibli, has come out of retirement – again. But this gorgeous hand-drawn film is a Pakistani production, a feature debut from young animator Usman Riaz with some dazzling images up there with the best of Ghibli. (And there is a connection: Ghibli producer Geoffrey Wexler is credited here as a creative consultant.) The Glassworker is a heartfelt anti-war film set in a bustling fictional seaside town sometime in the early to mid 20th century. Vincent (voiced by Sacha Dhawan as a young man in the English-language dubbed version) is the son of glassworker Tomas, a pacifist who becomes increasingly unpopular in town as the drumbeats of war grow louder. Vincent receives a letter from his friend Alliz (Anjli Mohindra), the daugh...

Rhea Kapoor confirms sequel to Veere Di Wedding 2; says, “it’s not going to be what anybody expects”

-

Ever since her cryptic post in March about ‘sequels’, audiences are eagerly waiting for her to announce about Veere Di Wedding sequel, which originally featured Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar, and Shikha Talsania in lead roles. And it seems that they have some great news now! While her earlier announcement about reuniting with Kareena turned out to be for The Crew, it seems that Rhea has also been working separately on the sequel to this chic-flick wedding drama. And recently, the producer-filmmaker also confirmed on the same.

Rhea Kapoor, who is basking in the rave reviews for Thank You For Coming, decided to reveal to fans about the sequel to the Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan starrer saying, “I’m working on Veere Di Wedding 2. It will be very different, it’s not going to be what anybody expects. I didn’t want to do it until I knew that it would be better than the first one and I knew that it was going to be hard because Veere Di Wedding is my everything.” However, the producer is yet to give a confirmation on the casting. “It’s such an important film for me. I love that film and very attached to it. I didn’t want to do it if I didn’t get the same amount of joy I did from making the first one. So, yes, Veere Di Wedding 2 is in the works,” she added.

Although she didn’t reveal any details about the return of the cast in the Veere Di Wedding sequel, in the same interaction, Rhea Kapoor also asserted about reuniting with Sonam Kapoor Ahuja for an upcoming film. For the unversed, Sonam Kapoor is yet to make an announcement about her return project after the actress went on maternity leave last year.

On the other hand, Rhea Kapoor’s next production The Crew starring a host of popular celebs like Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu, Kriti Sanon, Diljit Dosanjh, among others is slated for release on March 22 next year.
