Tiger Shroff and Vidyut Jammwal to star together in Milap Zaveri’s next action romance: Report

-
Bollywood action stars Tiger Shroff and Vidyut Jammwal are set to share screen space for the first time in director Milap Zaveri’s upcoming film, according to a recent report by PinkVilla. The project, which remains untitled, is shaping up as an action-romance and is expected to go on floors in February 2026. Sources familiar with the development say the film is designed to leverage the distinct on-screen personas of both actors, who are among Hindi cinema’s most physically commanding performers. The pairing of Shroff and Jammwal has generated significant interest among fans, as audiences have long anticipated seeing the two action stars together. According to the report, Kirti Shetty has been roped in as the female lead, marking another notable project in her growing filmography. “Kirti Shetty has been roped in as the female lead, which will mark another big Bollywood outing for her,” a source told the portal. “This film is designed as a full-fledged, intense action love story.

The G review – Dale Dickey is gamechanging gangster granny out for vengeance

-

Dickey is a revelation as a harder-than-nails woman exploited by the US’s legal guardian system in an otherwise overcooked thriller

The “G” in this low budget revenge thriller is 72-year-old Ann Hunter. That’s “G” as in “Granny”, a nickname given to her by her granddaughter. The joke is that Ann does not fit anyone’s stereotype of a granny. To call her hard-as-nails would be an understatement: nails can bend, but the G is harder, cold, mean and sarcastic. When she reaches for a bottle, dirty washing stacked up around the sink, no clean glass to hand, she pours her vodka neat into an empty yoghurt pot.

The G is played by character actor Dale Dickey, whose TV credits include Breaking Bad and My Name Is Earl. On film, she’s best known for a supporting part in Winter’s Bone, but I have to confess I didn’t recognise her. Having seen her in action here, I’m a convert. The G is heartless and unlikable, her battered face set in a permanent scowl – and yet Dickey conveys a woman shaped by her experience; there’s a backstory eventually about her childhood in Texas explaining the rage and anger. Her performance is a much-needed plus in a film that would otherwise lack a bit of substance.

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...
