SCOOP: Sanjay Dutt-starrer Aakhri Sawal unlikely to release in cinemas on May 8 due to censor issues; makers eye May 15 release

-
Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned that Aakhri Sawal, which was all set to release in cinemas on May 8, is unlikely to make it to theatres on the scheduled date due to censor certification issues. We were the first ones to report last week that even the trailer has not yet been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The trailer, like the film, is still awaiting clearance from the Censor Board. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The nature of the film and its plot is such that the CBFC members are being cautious. The makers have explained to the CBFC committee that their film is based on historical events and records and hence, deserves to be released. The discussions between the makers and the CBFC have taken a lot of time. Hence, the producers of Aakhri Sawal felt that it would be wise to push the film to a later date.” The source continued, “At present, the makers are considering releasing their film on May 15. Of course, this will be subject to receiving t...

The Furiosa, Mad Max and Happy Feet director talks tap dancing, life as a twin and what he’d tell his younger self

What is the best thing about being a twin?

His take on human behaviour was really amusing, funny and very wise. It was always interesting to have conversations with him, so we would just compare notes. It’s why I love collaborating with people because it’s always about the discourse.

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...
