Aatmapamphlet is the first Marathi film which has brought three stalwarts, Zee Studios, Aanand L Rai, and Bhushan Kumar together. The film has been written by National Award winner Paresh Mokashi and has been directed by debutant director Ashish Bende. Zee Studios has added yet another film to its sprawling slate of films recognised internationally. The film has been selected in the Generation 14plus competition category. Aatmapamphlet has been written by Paresh Mokashi, accredited with writing & directing films like Harishchandrachi Factory (2009), and the recent Vaalvi (2023). The film revolves around a young boy who falls in love with his classmate. It’s a heart-warming tale of one-sided love which transcends and transforms with dramatic socio-political changes around him. The film stars Om Bendkhale, Pranjali Shrikant Bhimrao Mude, and Ketaki Saraf in pivotal roles. It also marks the first venture of Colour Yellow Productions in Marathi films.

Ever since the first song of Pathaan has been released, the film has been facing several protests over the visual elements in the track. Many communal factions have raised an objection to the track, further demanding a ban on the release. With the release date nearing, the Gujarat multiplex association had approached the government, requesting them for help after they received the constant threats over releasing the film. Now, it has been reported that the police in the state have decided to provide protection to the multiplex officials when the Shah Rukh Khan film hits the big screen. In an earlier report we had stated that the Gujarat multiplex association wrote a letter to the government requesting their help in the matter. For the unversed, groups like the Vishnu Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal have threatened the theatre owners against releasing Pathaan . After receiving direct and indirect threats over the same, the Gujarat police have decided to intervene and further assure th

Euphoria’s Storm Reid makes for a compelling detective in an inventive, if increasingly far-fetched and overly sentimental, follow-up to the 2018 mystery It seemed, for a brief moment, that film-makers had crafted an entirely new way of watching a thriller back in the mid-2010s. After the found footage boom had started to lose audiences and all sense of logic (if you didn’t scream “why the hell are you still filming?” at a screen in that era then you really didn’t live), an even cheaper-to-produce subgenre emerged, replacing a shaky cam with one that never even moves at all. Films such as Unfriended, Open Windows and The Den took place entirely on someone’s laptop screen , a cyber-horror update that was supposed to resonate with an audience whose lives also did the same. But it wasn’t until a few years later, in 2018, when Aneesh Chaganty’s nifty debut Searching truly maximised the new medium, focusing less on demons and more on detectives. His film saw a single dad, played by John

Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, one of the most loved pairs of Bollywood, had a wonderful and memorable 2022. They got hitched on April 14 last year and soon came the announcement that Alia is pregnant. On September 9, their much-awaited film  Brahmastra  was released on September 9. Their pairing was one of the major factors why the film was keenly awaited. Then on November 6, Alia Bhatt gave birth to their daughter, whom they named Raha. And now in 2023, an interesting development is set to take place. Alia Bhatt’s first Hollywood film  Heart Of Stone  will release on August 11. Interestingly, on the same day,  Animal , starring Ranbir Kapoor, will also be releasing. Besides Alia, Heart Of Stone also stars Gal Gadot of Wonder Woman fame. It’ll have a direct release on Netflix. Yesterday, the streaming giant unveiled a video in which the release dates of as many as 34 films and web series were unveiled. The video not just mentions the August 11 release date but also unveiled another

Ali Fazal is on a spree of doing genre-bending films back to back. The actor has an impressive lineup of films in the coming year and will now be seen in another interesting project. Directed by Shujaat Saudagar, T he Underbug stars Ali Fazal and Hussain Dalal in lead roles. The film has been officially selected for the upcoming edition of the Slamdance Film Festival which is set to take place January 20-26 in person in Salt Lake City and Park City, Utah and virtually between January 23 to 29.  The film was shot during the small respite of time of covid lockdowns in late 2020 and is currently in post-production.

With all the hush-hush around this film, the story we hear is of two individuals X and Y and their encounter with each other on Independence Day as they take refuge in an abandoned house.  However, not all is okay when an ee

In a surprising and unexpected move, director Vivek Agnihotri has decided to re-release his historic hit  The Kashmir Files on January 19, six days ahead of Shah Rukh Khan’s much-vaunted hysterically hyped Pathaan . This could prove a serious setback for Yash Raj films who had planned a solo Republic-Day weekend release for Pathaan months in advance. Announcing the re-release of The Kashmir Files , Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri wrote, “ANNOUNCEMENT: #TheKashmirFiles is re-releasing on January 19, - The Kashmiri Hindu Genocide Day.

Jack the talking penis introduces the ‘human male’ to whom he is attached. And so begins a juvenile student comedy that isn’t very comical The penis has got a mind of its own, or so it’s said. Taking that idea one further, this juvenile low-budget British comedy gives a penis a voice, too. And a name: Jack. The thing is, if you go to the bother of giving a speaking role to a penis in a comedy, it really does need to be a funny talking penis, and poor Jack gets only a handful of so-so gags. At the start of the film, Jack (voiced by director Pelayo de Lario) introduces us to his “human male”. This is Charlie (Luke Rollason), a third-year university student living at home with his mum and dad in suburban London. Charlie is desperate for a girlfriend (“Danny DeVito’s hairy left testicle pulls more than you,” jokes a mate). Charlie’s major crush is Canadian student Barbie (Angela Sant’Albano). But she thinks he’s gay following a spectacularly unhilarious misunderstanding. The acting in pl
