Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal has expanded his enviable automobile collection with the addition of the ultra-luxurious Lexus LM350h 4-Seater Ultra Luxury, one of the most premium MPVs currently available in India. According to registration details accessed yesterday, the actor’s latest set of wheels carries an eye-watering price tag ranging between Rs.2.69 crore and Rs.3 crore, depending on the customisation and on-road additions. The Lexus LM350h has quickly emerged as a favourite among India’s elite, thanks to its unparalleled comfort, hybrid efficiency, and limousine-like cabin experience. Vicky Kaushal’s newly acquired 4-seater model stands out for its lounge-style rear compartment, complete with plush recliner seats, a massive 48-inch HD display, premium sound insulation, and a host of comfort-focused amenities designed to create a “first-class in motion” experience. The LM350h is powered by Lexus’ advanced 2.5-litre hybrid petrol engine, paired with an electric motor for smooth ...

The box office smash of Halloween 2023 gets a shoddily made follow-up written carelessly and devoid of an actual ending The ghost-possessed family-restaurant animatronics of the Five Nights at Freddy ’s movies lumber around with such heavy-footed gaucherie that it’s hard to figure out how they’re physically able to move from place to place as quickly as they’d need to for a proper killing spree. In what could be mistaken for a case of form following function, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 moves the exact same way. It’s so ostentatiously awkward that it constantly draws attention to its inept imitations of actions that other movies, even bad ones, intuitively understand – like making transitions between scenes or locations. For example, when faced with the need to isolate a mean science teacher (Wayne Knight) so that he can be vengefully murdered by one of the aforementioned animatronics, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 bafflingly cuts to him walking down a school hallway (during a science fair...

In a surprising turn of events, Saif Ali Khan has reportedly walked out of filmmaker Sneha Taurani’s upcoming project, just days before the film’s shoot was scheduled to begin. The actor, who had officially committed to the project and even attended its mahurat ceremony on October 27, 2025, has now opted out, leaving the makers and producers scrambling for a replacement. A source close to the development revealed, “He didn’t feel it was the right film for him to do,” though the decision came much later than expected, creating last-minute challenges for the team. The film was being produced by Ramesh Taurani, one of Bollywood’s most established producers, who has earlier collaborated with Saif on blockbusters like Race, Race 2, and BhootPolice (2021). He even did Kya Kehna produced by Ramesh Taurani in 2000, the two go back a long way. Reportedly, Ramesh Taurani wasted no time and has now cast Sunny Kaushal in the role originally meant for Saif. Kaushal reunites with director Sneha T...

The director remembers holing up in his in-laws’ garage with Stoppard to work on Anna Karenina, teasing him about his accent – and trying to turn him into a surrogate father In 2010, I was preparing to direct Anna Karenina and told the producer, Tim Bevan, that if anyone should adapt Tolstoy’s novel, it should be Stoppard. Surprisingly – because he was already a hero – Tom agreed to meet. I went to his apartment and we talked about the novel and the idea of love as a form of madness. It was a theme that was quite personal to him. I think he’d lived that a few times, and it became the thesis for the adaptation. Tom very simply went through the book and removed anything that didn’t relate to it. Continue reading... from Film | The Guardian https://ift.tt/SpbiO78 via IFTTT

Shoojit Sircar has carved a niche for himself with his films like Vicky Donor (2012), Piku (2015), October (2024), Sardar Udham (2021) and the recently released flick, I Want To Talk (2024). Bollywood Hungama has now learned some exciting information about his next film, which is going to be the first-ever mytho-humour entertainer. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “It marks Shoojit Sircar’s much-awaited return to humour. The acclaimed filmmaker, known for bringing warmth, wit and sharp observation to films such as Vicky Donor and Piku, is now stepping into an entirely new space with his first-ever Mytho Humour entertainer.” In industry circles, the project has begun to make noise, for all the right reasons. The source said, “A massive, elaborate set is being constructed by Sardar Udham’s National Award-winning production designer, Mansi Dhruv Mehta. Inspired by a key chapter from the Mahabharat, the world being built blends mythology with a contemporary and satirical lens.” Adding t...

Hersh’s record on uncovering the big stories, from My Lai to Abu Ghraib, speaks for itself. This documentary watches him at work: dogged, nonconformist and combative Renowned investigative journalist Seymour Hersh was never played in a film by Robert Redford or Dustin Hoffman, like the Washington Post’s Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. But as this documentary portrait argues, he’s probably more important than either. Hersh has a longer record of breaking big stories, from the My Lai massacre in Vietnam to torture by US army personnel at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq – the latter a historic scoop underscored by the stomach-turning photos which Hersh brought to light. Hersh is asked if Abu Ghraib would have been the story it was without those pictures and replies: “No pictures, no story.” Well, maybe. But his other scoops had no pictures of this kind. One incidental thing Abu Ghraib showed was how ubiquitous digital photography became at the beginning of the century; how easy it was to take...

Actor, who started working in commercials before making her first film at six, calls acting a job that was ‘chosen’ for her Jodie Foster has spoken out about parents who encourage their children to act, saying she “know[s] how dangerous it is”. Speaking at the Marrakesh film festival, Foster said that she “would never have chosen to be an actor, I don’t have the personality of an actor. I’m not somebody that wants to dance on a table and, you know, sing songs for people.” Continue reading... from Film | The Guardian https://ift.tt/bspl0X4 via IFTTT

In this documentary, high schoolers camp out in subzero temperatures, making their own fires and driving sledges in the wild The Pasvik Folk high school in remote northern Norway teaches teenagers to grow as young adults and escape the pressures of toxic social media by challenging them to get back in touch with their “stone age brain” and live like hunter-gatherers in the snowy wild. This is the subject of a documentary from Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady. Over winter months of almost continuous darkness, the teens cleanse themselves with tasks such as camping out in subzero weather, making their own fires and driving sledges with huskies. Prior to all this of course is presumably a solemn promise to do without their phones, tablets and laptops, although there are no scenes of the kids actually having to surrender these gadgets (this isn’t rehab, after all). They have to swim in icy water; and they make it look like fun. What doesn’t look like fun is the camping out and there is one t...
