A Gangster’s Life review – funny in parts, but not always deliberately

-
Despite some interesting visuals, not even Tony Cook and Jonny Weldon can lift this poorly produced tale of a pair of dodgy lads hiding in Greece from a gangster Here is an odd film about a couple of dodgy lads who get on the wrong side of a bona fide gangster and have to hide out in Greece. It’s not thoughtless per se; rather, it lacks the resources to bring its vision successfully to screen. Its quirks are sometimes appealing and sometimes amateurish and, while a mixture of influences swirl about, from Bond to Kingsman to Guy Ritchie and even Mission: Impossible, the film-makers don’t have the necessary budget, meaning that it feels at times like a TikTok parody of more expensive films. It is a shame, because there are some interesting visual ideas that go beyond route one filming. Example: a goon beating a man tied to a chair on a crispy manicured lawn is filmed in a lovely wide shot, with a guy in the far distance calmly clipping the hedge. But it’s the post-production that is th...

Kesari Chapter 2 teaser unveiled: A first-of-its-kind experience that sends chills

-

Dharma Productions, Cape of Good Films, and Leo Media Collective have just dropped the groundbreaking teaser for Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, and it’s nothing short of revolutionary. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the film stars Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Panday in a powerful reimagining of one of India’s darkest chapters.

The teaser, which launched today, sets a bold new benchmark in cinematic storytelling. In a first-of-its-kind move, the teaser opens with a haunting 30-second audio-only sequence—no visuals, just the chilling echoes of chaos, screams, and gunfire. This unique approach grips the viewer immediately, evoking goosebumps before a single frame even appears.

Once the visuals begin, the teaser unleashes a flurry of emotionally charged scenes, offering glimpses of Akshay Kumar in a never-seen-before intense avatar, R. Madhavan as a conflicted British officer, and Ananya Panday in a pivotal role that adds emotional depth to the story. The scale, the emotion, and the raw power of the visuals promise a cinematic experience that’s both heart-wrenching and thought-provoking.

Kesari Chapter 2 is not just a sequel—it’s a standalone tale that dives deep into the harrowing events of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, aiming to bring forth stories that history forgot. With this bold teaser, the makers have reignited conversation around storytelling techniques in Indian cinema.

Slated to release in cinemas on April 18, Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated and daring films of the year.

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...
