Hari Ka Om starring Soni Razdan and Anshuman Jha to premiere in Europe at UK Asian Film Festival 2025

-

After traveling across major film festivals in Australia, North America, Canada, and India, Hari Ka Om, the emotional father-son drama starring Anshuman Jha, Soni Razdan, and Raghubir Yadav, is now set for its European premiere. The film has been selected as the centrepiece gala screening at the UK Asian Film Festival 2025. The screening will take place on May 7 at London’s iconic Regent Street Cinema.

Directed by Harish Vyas, known for Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain and Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele, the film marks his third collaboration with Anshuman Jha. The cast also includes Ayesha Kapur, and the film explores the emotional complexities within Indian families, focusing on generational divides and the consequences of emotional miscommunication.

Speaking about the film, Anshuman Jha shared, “HARI KA OM is the father-son film we need today, small town India set, deals with issues which occur in nearly every home. It dwells on the fact that without emotional regulation – mistakes can be made by the young & the old. It’s a quintessential generational divide film and I look forward to being in the UK for the screening & the Q/A.”

Jha’s performance in Hari Ka Om follows his well-received roles in Hum Bhi Akele (2021), where he played a homosexual man, and the 2023 vigilante drama Lakadbaggha. In this film, he takes on the character of a middle-class boy from Bhopal, adding yet another contrasting role to his filmography.

Director Harish Vyas spoke about his lead actor and their long-standing collaboration: “Anshuman is a very simple person but also has a razor-sharp film brain. In addition to being a fabulous actor of this generation, he understands all aspects of cinema like very few people I have met. Their chemistry (Raghubir Yadav & Anshuman) is a delight in this film. We are thrilled to be premiering in the UK at such a prestigious platform.”

Adding to his slate this year, Anshuman Jha’s directorial debut Lord Curzon Ki Haveli is also scheduled to release in the coming months. Hari Ka Om is expected to release globally in July 2025.

A lot of Bollywood films have re-released off late but when it comes to Hollywood, a handful of classics have had a re-run in cinemas.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
