Sense and Sensibility review – blue-chip cast decorates Emma Thompson’s pleasurable Austen adaptation

Thirty years later, this richly enjoyable film is back with its quality lineup including Kate Winslet and Hugh Grant alongside Thompson herself Emma Thompson won a screenplay Oscar for this buoyant, vibrant, richly enjoyable adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel. Released in 1995, it was directed by Ang Lee and is a movie with the pleasures of a golden age studio picture of the kind made by William Wyler. It was the second half of Thompson’s Oscar double – she won her first one in 1993 for acting in Howards End – and she is still the only person in Academy Award history to win for acting and writing. With marvellous lightness and gaiety, Thompson found a response to Austen’s comic register, expertly marrying it up to the romance, and 1995 now looks like the golden age of Austen adaptation, having also seen the Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle Pride and Prejudice on television and Amy Heckerling’s Emma-homage Clueless at the movies.

EXCLUSIVE: MTV Spiltsvilla host Sunny Leone warns a contestant over discriminatory remarks; says “Bring it up again and I will personally kick you out"

In a recent episode of MTV Splitsvilla X5: ExSqueeze Me Please, things got really heated up as Sunny Leone had to intervene and threaten a contestant to be thrown out of the show for the latter’s comments. In a massive showdown between contestants, Unnati, who wanted to combat allegations against her, said something that neither the show nor the channel approve of, and the host Sunny had to issue a strict warning against her.

What happened on the show

During the Dome Session of the villa, while discussing about the gossip in the villa, Unnati revealed Harsh’s plans on eliminating Akriti, that sparked a massive fight among contestants as they came in defence of each other. This resulted in Ishita accusing Unnati of having a connection outside the show and as Nayera jumped in to confirm Ishita’s claims, a baffled Unnati decided to target the latter. She pointed out that Nayera and Arbaz’s relationship is also fake, further making a discriminatory remark about their faith which led to Sunny Leone reacting strongly against her statement.

Sunny Leone takes a firm stand against discrimination

Sunny Leone delivered a powerful message wherein she issued a warning to throw them out of the show in case of such incidents. She angrily stated, “MTV stands for equal treatment for everyone, it does not discriminate against religion, creed, sex or anything that has to do with things that are incorrect. MTV does not stand for this! Bring it up again I will personally kick you out of the show. There is enough hate in this world for you guys to be bickering between each other or bringing up topics that are not acceptable. It cannot happen in this show.“

MTV Splitsvilla X5: ExSqueeze Me Please airs on MTV and also streams on JioCinema simultaneously at 7 PM.
