Primitive War review – it’s Green Berets vs dinosaurs in cheerfully cheesy Vietnam war gorefest

-
Set to an on-the-nose soundtrack of Creedence Clearwater, an elite squad of soldiers are suitably unprepared for their large-toothed assailants in this jungle thriller Aimed squarely and unabashedly at viewers who love soldiers, gore and dinosaurs – as well as dinosaurs goring soldiers – this adaptation of Ethan Pettus’s 2017 novel is deeply repetitive but weirdly watchable. Although shot in Australia with a mostly Australian cast sprinkled with a few American actors, it’s supposed to be set in Vietnam in the late 1960s as the US armed forces take on the Viet Cong. But there are other forces to contend with, and we don’t just mean covert Chinese or Soviet operatives, although the latter do feature significantly here. It turns out a nefarious scientific experiment by one of the aforementioned factions has accidentally ushered a whole army of dinosaurs into the jungle and they’ve begun gaily munching their way through anyone who gets in their way. When one squad of Green Berets go miss...

Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat and Nikita Dutta kick off shoot for Siddharth Anand’s production titled Jewel Thief: Report

-

Actors Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat and Nikita Dutta have begun shooting for an upcoming action-packed heist thriller titled Jewel Thief, as per reports. The film, helmed by director Robbie Grewal of Romeo Akbar Walter fame, is being produced by Siddharth Anand under his banner Marflix. This marks Anand's second production venture following Fighter.

The yet-untitled film, which is set to premiere exclusively on Netflix, promises to deliver a gripping narrative filled with adrenaline-pumping action sequences and intense showdowns. Contrary to its title, Jewel Thief is not a remake or a sequel of the classic Dev Anand film; rather, it's a distinct story carefully crafted by Robbie Grewal, with Anand himself selecting the title for its resonance with the film's plot.

According to report by PinkVilla, the central conflict of Jewel Thief revolves around a captivating battle royale between Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat, two powerhouse performers known for their versatility and prowess on screen. An insider revealed, “While the film is titled Jewel Thief, it has got nothing to do with the original film starring the legendary Dev Anand. Siddharth Anand had this title registered under his banner and believes that the title is apt for the subject of this Robbie Grewal directorial.” Industry insiders estimate that Netflix acquired the film for a staggering Rs. 60 crore.

Siddharth Anand is currently in the process of developing projects with directors Rohit Dhawan and Sujoy Ghosh, featuring stars like Tiger Shroff and Shah Rukh Khan with his daughter Suhana Khan making her debut. While his directorial schedule remains flexible, Anand has already committed to Tiger vs Pathaan for YRF in 2025.

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...
