Why F1 the Movie should win the best picture Oscar

-
It may not be in pole position, but Brad Pitt and director Joseph Kosinski’s sleek, technically inventive ode to motor racing definitely qualifies for the Academy podium Could, should, would F1 the Movie win the best picture Oscar? Well, we have to be realistic here: F1 is currently a massive outsider, at 200-1 along with The Secret Agent , which has no chance either but for very different reasons. It’s not hard to see why: this is a swaggeringly mainstream film, where tech and branding dwarf the human input, with the film itself acting as a front-end battering ram for a sports organisation desperate to break into the promised land of the US auto racing circuit. (I mean it’s right there in the title.) So even the most reactionary, conservative Academy voter is going to find it hard to mark F1 with their tick. So no, I don’t think it could win. That’s not to say F1 doesn’t have quite a bit going for it. The Oscars, as we know, have historically had a problem with so-called “popular” ...

Vicky Kaushal and Kabir Khan to join hands for a film?

-

With actors constantly experimenting with genres and filmmakers, a rare and never-seen-before combination is expected to be in the works, if recent reports are to be believed. It is being said that Kabir Khan, who shares a great bond with Katrina Kaif, is keen on working with the latter’s husband Vicky Kaushal. While the two of them have often cheered and appreciated each other’s work, they have never been able to come together for a project, until now. These reports have claimed that the filmmaker and actor are already in talks for an untitled film, details of which are strictly maintained under wraps.

In a Filmfare report, it has been revealed that Vicky Kaushal and Kabir Khan are contemplating on working together for the film. Although the details are yet to be finalized with no confirmation from either side, a source was quoted sharing the details. "Kabir Khan and Katrina Kaif have had a long-standing association and friendship. Ever since Katrina and Vicky Kaushal came together, Kabir has always been a friend and mentor to Vicky. But now, after all these years, they have finally found a project, where the two can come together. The deal hasn't been sealed yet. But it is as good as done,” stated the source.

Adding to the speculation further, Kabir Khan posted about a two-film partnership with Applause Entertainment on his social media handle last week. While the details of the cast was not yet revealed, audiences have been wondering if Vicky will be a part of one of these films.

On the other hand, Vicky Kaushal is currently a busy actor as he is neck deep in promotions, ahead of the release of his highly anticipated historical drama Chhaava. Coming from the house of Maddock Films, it is a magnum opus starring an ensemble cast and directed by Laxman Utekar. However, it is not the only film on the schedule of the Masaan actor! He also has the much-awaited entertainer Love & War with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Ranbir Kapoor, and Alia Bhatt in the pipeline for release next year. Considering his hectic schedule, if the Khan – Kaushal collab holds true, it is to be seen as to when the film will be going on floors!

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...
