BREAKING: The RajaSaab ends with the promise of a sequel titled RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935

-
The Prabhas-starrer The RajaSaab has sprung a major surprise on audiences, with the film ending on a clear hint that the story is far from over. In a move that will set social media buzzing, the makers reveal in the final moments that the film will continue in a sequel titled RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935. While The RajaSaab largely plays out as a horror-comedy mounted on a lavish scale, its closing stretch opens the doors to a much bigger universe. The title Circus 1935 suggests that the sequel will travel back in time, promising a blend of vintage aesthetics, mystery and spectacle, elements that align well with director Maruthi’s penchant for mixing genre thrills with mass entertainment. With The RajaSaab already generating strong buzz for its scale, visuals and Prabhas’ larger-than-life presence, the announcement of RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935 has only amplified the excitement among fans. Interestingly, the title hints at a darker, more enigmatic setting, with a circus backdrop from the 19...

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga review – Anya Taylor-Joy is tremendous as chase resumes

-

Cannes film festival
Taylor-Joy makes a fantastic action heroine, facing down a hilariously evil Chris Hemsworth in signature high-speed fights

‘My childhood! My mother! I want them back!” With this howl of anguish, young Furiosa, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, sets the tone of vengeful rage that runs through George Miller’s immersive, spectacular prequel to his Mad Max reboot from 2015. Once again, there are the crazily colossal and weird convoy-action sequences which fuse the notion of “chase” and “violent combat” into a series of delirious high-velocity contests between motorbikes, 18-wheelers and armed parascenders all attacking and shooting at each other while fanatically zooming in the same direction. The vehicles themselves are what makes the Mad Max movies so very strange. Many films are called “surreal”, but these strange, ritualistic gladiator-vehicle displays in the reddish-brown emptiness really do look like something by Giorgio de Chirico or Max Ernst.

Furiosa is the origin story of the glamorous, one-armed badass from the first film. Incidentally, I haven’t seen an arm loss like this since 11-year-old midshipman Blakeney got his amputated aboard ship in Master and Commander – and he made a bit more of a fuss about it than Furiosa. It is of course set in Australia’s vast post-apocalyptic wilderness where warlords in their various compounds rule over precious reserves of food, water, ammo and fuel. Furiosa, played in the first film by Charlize Theron, was notionally in the service of the hateful chieftain Immortan Joe; she was in charge of leading raiding parties against rivals and enemies, and fated herself to be a rebel.

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...
