Malayalee from India Movie Review(Photo Credit –IMDb)

What’s Good: Nivin Pauly’s performance injects energy and charm, especially in comedic moments alongside Dhyan’s Malghosh. Additionally, Deepak Jethi’s portrayal of a Pakistani figure brings moments of genuine emotion to the story.

What’s Bad: The film’s disjointed script and overstretched duration dampen its impact and engagement.

Loo Break: About half an hour into the film, during the song Krishna.

Watch or Not?: If you enjoy Nivin Pauly’s performances and are okay with a somewhat disjointed storyline, it might be worth a watch for its sporadic feel-good moments and political commentary. However, you should pass on this if you prefer more cohesive narratives.

Dubai Film Market is introducing a selection of Indian projects for the first time this year through a partnership with Europe’s Pjlf Three Rivers Residency.

The five projects are being scripted by hot new talents such as Kanu Behl, whose debut feature Titli premiered at Cannes’ Un Certain Regard in 2014, and Raj Rishi More, whose project is being produced by The Lunchbox director Ritesh Batra.

The Three Rivers residency provides writer-directors with a month-long distraction-free space to work on their scripts in the Italian countryside, with the help of an expert mentor, before presenting their projects at Diff. Although focusing on Indian projects in its first year, the organisers hope to open the programme to international writer-directors, including those from the Arab world, from next year.

From the heartbreaking but brilliant Rang De Basanti, to the wonderful Delhi 6, to the inspiring Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has brought Indian cinema some of its greatest films.

With his film Mirzya, he has now turned his focus on the Punjabi folk tale Mirza-Sahiban, but presenting it in a unique way. Interweaving the legendary folklore with a contemporary version, this musical brings out the story of a love that will never die. Joining him in transforming this story is the esteemed writer and poet Gulzar. Adding to the worlds of Mirzya is music by the great Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy.

Mirzya introduces Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher, along with Anuj Chaudhary. Also bringing the story to life are the screen masters, Om Puri, Art Malik, and K. K. Raina.

Some of my absolute favorite interviews to conduct are with directors because they just love talking about their movies.

This week’s Ancient Aliens examines whether the ancient Hindu god Shiva could have been an extraterrestrial. The experts discuss whether the deity, sometimes known as Shiva the Destroyer, was in fact the leader of an alien group who brought advanced technology to Earth. Shiva is one of a trinity of major gods in Hinduism. The name is Sanskrit and means The Auspicious One. More famously he is also known as the Creator, the Preserver and the Destroyer. American theoretical physicist Robert Oppenheimer quoted Shiva’s fellow deity Krishna after the first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945. He said: “Now I...read more...

However, it is also being said that the film spans a decade with all the characters continuing their cat and mouse chase. Suniel's character too will age and he will further be seen donning the salt and pepper look. In fact, the actor is also said to undergo rigorous training since he will be doing a few action sequences in the film.

Director Sooraj Barjatya is back with his eternal Prem (Salman Khan) in tow in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, which looks a fun throwback to the Rajshri blockbusters like Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and Hum Saath Saath Hain.

Yet Reshammiya shows that he’s up to task in recreating the big and grand spectacles of the Rajshri songs. If we were to compare the soundtrack to a food, it’s like a comfort food that delivers the goods for that short while, which is part of the Rajshri treatment that we’re getting after so long.

The album kicks off with Prem Leela, which is a big and brassy number that was unveiled last week. The song is your characteristic Salman song with the loud dhols and drums,...

It is where hearts meet, auntyjis gossip and kids have a blast. Navratri shin-digs are the ‘it’ get togethers in the Desi calendar every year. It’s a nine day long festive period where everyone joins in daily for a night of song and dance. Apart from being the social get together of the year the festival has a strong religious meaning. It celebrates nine forms of Goddess Durga, one on each night, hence the name nav-nine ratri-nights. The 10th day is the festival of Dashera, marking the ultimate triumph of good over evil in Indian history.

Unlike any other usual festival, navratri songs and dance are specific. They have a distinct beat and the dance form adopted is garba or dandiya. The song and dance routine of the night, garba or dandiya, also have a strong historical backing as depicts the rasa-lila between Lord Krishna and the gopis of Vrindavan.

The release of Finding Fanny has run into an obstacle, as a petition was filed in the Delhi High Court on Tuesday seeking a ban on the release of director Homi Adajania’s new film, due to its use of the “vulgar word” ‘fanny”.

As reported by Ians, the public interest litigation (Pil) also challenged the UA certificate given to the film, which is scheduled to release on Friday.

Although ‘fanny’ is the short form of the popular name Stephanie, it is also a slang word that may refer to the female genitals or the buttocks. The petition claims that the word has a highly sexually explicit meaning, so its use in the film will hurt the feelings of the citizens of India, especially minor children.

Homi Adajania's next venture Finding Fanny will be releasing this weekend, however the film seems to have run into yet another obstacle.

According to the Pil filed lawyer Abhishek Krishna on Tuesday, on behalf of Nandini Tiwari and the Jai Jagriti Foundation, the vulgar word "fanny" is a slang and should be removed from the movie, its songs, posters and banners. Further stating that the dictionary meaning of the word "fanny" was highly sexually explicit, and using the word in the movie will hurt the feelings of the citizens of India, especially minor children.

Usually people fear the moment they have to take back their words but when it comes to films I genuinely welcome someone proving me wrong, if it means that a film is better than I expected. No denying that I pegged Krrish 3 to be the biggest disaster of all times. Why? Well to me Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish were mega disasters so to expect the third film in the series to impress was just unreasonable. However having just returned from my viewing of the film I’m all smiles and can happily declare, I was wrong!

The film boasts of a lot of genuine creativity which I didn’t expect since the previous films have been too borrowed. But Krrish 3 sticks to the genre and brings in the essential elements we want from superhero entertainers with a bit of desi tadka. There’s a rich human and...

One walks into a superhero film wanting to be overwhelmed. Tall order indeed! After all, in how many different ways can a superhero save the world? The template is more the less the same in all superhero films. It is just the treatment that tells a winner from the loser. So is Krrish 3 a winner or a loser?

Krishna (Hrithik Roshan) is living a peaceful life with his wife Priya (Priyanka Chopra) and father Rohit (Hrithik again of course). Or as peaceful as life can be for the friendly neighbourhood superhero with one crisis or the other not letting him hold down a job for more than a few days. Enters Kaal (Vivek Oberoi), a wheelchair-bound genius with a penchant for creating mutants from his own DNA. His chief mutant is the shape-shifting Kaaya (Kangana Ranaut) who helps him terrorise the world by injecting hapless people with the virus created by him.

We are getting closer to one of the most highly anticipated films of 2013! Yes, Krrish is about to swoop back into theaters. Check out these three dialog promos to give you an idea of what is in store on November 1st.

A sequel to Krrish, the film has been produced and directed by Rakesh Roshan and has music composed by Rajesh Roshan. Apart from Hrithik in the title role, it also stars Priyanka Chopra, Vivek Oberoi and Kangana Ranaut. Many foreign technicians are part of the project, including action director Tony Ching Siu Tung.

The story in case you missed is: After defeating the villainous Dr. Siddhant Arya, and bringing his father Rohit back from the dead, Krrish continued fighting against evil and saving innocent lives.

Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra were in London this week to promote their up and coming film Krrish 3. There were around to meet the U.K press, greet fans at Feltham cinema, visit the Apple store in central London and give a host of special interviews, which include our favourites Raj and Pablo.

Krrish 3 is the continuation of Rohit and Krishna’s journey from the previous installments. From the super successful promo’s of the film, we all know that this is a superhero film, but Hrithik also emphasised the importance of Rohit’s role, he shared “In Krrish 3, for me the biggest challenge was revisiting my character of Koi mil gaya, the mentally challenged Rohit…it had been about eight years since I had played that part and in that time you grow…so I had to find that voice and body language again.”

Priyanka was...

Krrish 3 is the talk of the town at present with the various promotional events going on, and the latest on the film is that the release date is now officially 1st November instead of 4th November.

Rakesh Roshan said that the decision was taken by the distributors and exhibitors, and he had no problem with it. “They decided on Nov 1, and I agreed to it. Diwali is on Nov 3 which is a Sunday, so it will be the right thing to do by releasing the film 3 days before that,” he added.

Krrish 3 is the third film after Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish. The film features Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Vivek Oberoi and Kangana Ranaut.

The story of Krrish 3 continues from the superhit Krrish. After defeating the villainous Dr. Siddhant Arya, and bringing his father Rohit back from the dead, Krrish continued fighting against evil and saving innocent lives.

Of course one of the films fans are eagerly counting the days until is Krrish 3! The Rakesh Roshan directed film is the newest film in the series that began with Koi Mil Gaya. The director wrote, “When Koi Mil Gaya released in 2003, and the novel concept of Jadoo and his powers was so widely accepted, I knew that the stage was set for the birth of a very special hero. Krrish was created as a result. No stone was left unturned in making sure that we gave our audiences a fantastic and state-of-the-art superhero. It worked. And Krrish became a household name.

Now we had our own little mythology. Jadoo, Rohit, Krishna, Krrish. Set in a world of science fiction but very easy to relate to and connect with. In the last film, we created the character. Now it only made sense to move ahead with him. The challenge...

Great and compelling stories can transcend cultures and geographies and the growing trend of remakes in multiple languages is certainly a testament to this fact. Following this tradition of bringing great stories to as many audiences as possible, Utv has now licensed its 2008 hit film Aamir written and directed by Raj Kumar Gupta for a Tamil remake to Shoundaryan Pictures owned by Vidyal Raju. The Tamil version will be directed by debutant Anand Krishna. The leading role...

Starring Riz Ahmed, Kate Hudson, Liev Schreiber, Keifer Sutherland, Shabana Azmi, Om Puri

Directed by Mira Nair

The dubbing does subject the content to some tonal drubbing. And one wishes the Indian distributors had just let the characters speak the way they felt. Misguided vocalization cannot take away from the power and inner strengths of Mira Nair’s newest work.

The abject isolation of an individual as he or she grapples with the shifting emotional and cultural dynamics of a society that doesn’t have much patience with dilemmas of the diaspora, is a recurrent theme in Mira Nair’s remarkable oeuvre.

It could be that sassy street boy Krishna in Salaam Bombay peering resentfully into the rolled-up windows of the rich and the privileged as they whisk away his unrealized dreams. It could the high-flying Amelia Earhart kissing the clouds as she flies that plane in splendid solitude in Amelia.

Hyderabad, April 29: Navdeep-Sneha Ullal starrer Telugu romantic-drama "Antha Nee Maayalone" went on the floors here Monday. The team will shoot one of the songs in the film.

"'Antha Ne Maayalone' Day 1. Ready to go and excited to feel the magic again," Sneha posted on her Twitter page.

The film is directed by debutant P.V Krishna and also features Rajendra Prasad and Poonam Kaur in important roles. It is produced by Suryadevara Vinod.

Sneha, known for her making her Bollywoood debut opposite Salman Khan in "Lucky", has featured in cameos and second heroine roles in Telugu films. This is the first time she is playing the lead.

"'Antha Nee Maayalone'. Solo hero and heroine, finally. Time to shine. Amen," Sneha.

Firstly, I cannot convey my utmost excitement for Sajid Khan’s remake of Himmatwala, whether it was the exciting promos that promised a more energized Ajay Devgn or Tamannah Bhatia making her Bollywood debut. However, I did approach with trepidation when the first promos of the iconic Nainon Mein Sapna, which seemed like a by-the-numbers recreation of the multicolored sets or the lack of dance moves in Devgn and Bhatia. Yet it was the music that hooked us all in from the addictive “Tha Thaiya Ta Thaiya ho” and that Sajid and Wajid hadn’t added any overt flourishes to that iconic melody. This album is tons of fun, yet upon Khan’s insistence that they not stray too far from the source material, Sajid and Wajid play it a little safe. What we can appreciate is the ambition of the songs by using artists from the Laximant Pyarelal, Bappi Lahiri...

Movie Review: "Bannada Kode": Star Cast: Baby Suhasini, Yathiraj, Rohith Kumar Kateel, Master Chiranjeevi, Sharanya, Mohini and others; Director: Krishna Belthangadi; Producer: Harish Bellaala; Camera: Vishnu Prasad; Music Director: Neville; Rating: **1/2 - touching tale, but poor narration.

Directed by journalist?turned?film director Krishna Belthangadi, "Bannada Kode" rises several notches above an average film. But unfortunately Belthangadi's efforts to take it to a higher level fail mainly because of his inexperience in the field of direction and his inability to write a good script.

Apart from the good performances.

Omg Oh My God (2012) is the first film to release from the newly launched production house Grazing Goat Pictures which is co-owned by Akshay Kumar. The film stars Kumar along with Paresh Rawal and Mithun Chakraborty in the leading roles and is all set to release at a cinema near you on 28th September 2012. According to its trailer, the film deals with a shopkeeper (Rawal) who strongly disbelieves in God. Consequently Kumar (who plays God in this film) sets out to alter his ways and beliefs. The soundtrack to this film has been composed by Himesh Reshammiya, who has given us recent soundtracks such as Bol Bachchan (2012) and the colossal hit Bodyguard (2011). The lyrics are penned by Shabbir Ahmed, who has written songs for films such as Dangerous Ishhq (2012) and Luck (2009). So without further ado, let’s take a look at what the soundtrack to Omg Oh My God has to offer.

India's first stereoscopic 3D animated feature film Krishna Aur Kans has been declared 'Tax Free' in 6 states namely Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, Kerala, Chhattisgarh & West Bengal on the first day of its release itself. Further key states like Delhi, Haryana, Karnataka, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh are also strongly considering the proposal.

This dual impact of Tax-Free status in major territories and the release of the film close to Janmasthami is working well for this animation film. The film has voiceovers by Juhi Chawla, Manoj Bajpayee, Om Puri, Prachi Save, Anupam Kher, A.K. Hangal, Mukesh Khanna etc. Directed by Vikram Veturi and produced by Reliance Animation, Krishna aur Kans has been distributed by Reliance Entertainment.
