Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir review – Paris Hilton’s act of self-love shows there’s nothing behind the mask

-
A look behind the scenes of the star’s second album turns out to reveal exactly what you’d expect, at arduous length Paris Hilton here presents us with an unbearable act of docu-self-love, avowedly a behind-the-scenes study of her second studio album, Infinite Icon, and where she’s at as a musician, survivor and mom. But maybe there is, in fact, nothing behind the scenes; judging by this, the scenes are all there is: Insta-exhibitionism, empty phrases and show. Hilton’s second album no doubt has its admirers and detractors, and her fans are perfectly happy with it. But this film, for which she is executive producer, is an indiscriminate non-curation of narcissism and torpid self-importance that seems to go on and on and on for ever; the longest two hours of anyone’s life, finally signing off with a splodge of uninteresting and unedited concert footage.

Ali Abbas Zafar files complaint against Vashu Bhagnani over non-payment of Rs 7.30 crores fee for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan: Report

-

Trouble is mounting for producer Vashu Bhagnani and his production house, Pooja Entertainment. A new controversy has surfaced after being accused of failing to pay several crew members. Director Ali Abbas Zafar has accused Bhagnani of not paying him Rs 7.30 crores, his fee for directing the 2024 action film Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The film, which starred Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, was made on a massive Rs 350 crores budget but performed poorly, earning only around Rs 100 crores at the box office.

Ali Abbas Zafar Files Complaint Against Pooja Entertainment According to a report in Dainik Bhaskar, Ali Abbas Zafar has filed a formal complaint with the Directors’ Association, claiming that Pooja Entertainment has not paid him the Rs 7.30 crores fee for his work on Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The complaint was submitted to the Directors’ Association, which sent a letter to the Federation of Western Indian Cine Employees (FWICE) on July 31, 2024, asking them to intervene in the matter.

Following this, FWICE shot a letter to Vashu Bhagnani, seeking an explanation for the unpaid dues. However, Pooja Entertainment has denied Zafar’s claims, stating, "The dues claimed do not constitute a legitimate claim and are liable to various set-offs, as informed to us by BMCM Films Ltd." FWICE Steps in, Zafar Asked to Provide Evidence FWICE has now requested that Ali Abbas Zafar submit proof supporting his claim of unpaid dues. Despite the escalating issue, Zafar has chosen to remain silent in public and has refrained from making any statements to the media. According to the report, the Tiger Zinda Hai director is concerned that speaking out might delay the resolution and payment further. Pooja Entertainment Faces Financial Challenges This is not the first time Vashu Bhagnani’s production house has faced financial trouble. Earlier, FWICE president BN Tiwari revealed that Pooja Entertainment owed more than Rs 65 lakh to crew members for their work on three films: Mission Raniganj, Ganapath, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The non-payment of crew members has added to the mounting problems for the production house.

As of now, Ali Abbas Zafar’s demand for payment remains unresolved, with Pooja Entertainment continuing to deny the legitimacy of the claim. With FWICE stepping in, it remains to be seen whether Zafar will receive the dues he is seeking.

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...
