Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Janhvi Kapoor, Kiara Advani, and Bhumi Pednekkar show how to ace the corset look

-
Corsets have often brought a sense of regal charm to the fore when it comes to fashion that blends tradition with sophistication. And our Bollywood divas have shown just how to pull traditional corset looks, especially in golden. Take a look: Kareena Kapoor Khan: Kareena Kapoor Khan stunned in a handwoven silver tissue saree with a golden corset, featuring detailed embellishments that nearly define the outfit’s mood. Letting the outfit speak for itself, the actress layers her look with selective silver jewellery and a statement bindi.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Rhea Kapoor (@rheakapoor) Bhumi Satish Pednekkar: Bhumi Satish Pednekkar looks straight out of an Egyptian frame, dressed in a golden outfit by Ekaya Banaras, featuring a body-hugging matching corset. The Daldal star lets her ensemble steal the spotlight while she fuels her look with statement, heavy jewellery pieces.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Bhumi Satish Ped...

Dry Leaf review – three-hour amble around the football pitches of Georgia in search of a daughter

Despite its interesting low-res look, Alexandre Koberidze’s mystifying film is needlessly contrived

Georgian film-maker Alexandre Koberidze appeared to revive the spirit of the French New Wave with his previous film What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? – an unhurried, meandering and garrulous movie with its own cheeky sort of low-tech magic realism as it followed its nose around the city of Kutaisi. His new film is a mystifying three-hour road movie, shot (as was his debut film Let the Summer Never Come Again) on low-res video, like that of an obsolete cameraphone. It is even more challenging and I have to admit it defeated me, despite some intriguing qualities, including a dry touch of comedy.

A middle-aged man called Irakli (David Koberidze) receives a letter addressed to him and his wife, Nino (Irina Chelidze), from their twentysomething photographer daughter Lisa, announcing that she wishes to disappear from their lives. A police officer tells them that Lisa is an adult who can do what she likes. But an oddly emotionless Irakli sets out to track her down anyway, even though another more conventionally plausible movie would have found room for a conversation about the cost of a private detective. Lisa was photographing football fields when she vanished, so Irakli’s plan is just to drive around the country’s football fields, asking people nearby if they’ve seen her. The result is many desultory conversations with people who are apparently nonprofessional actors.

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...
