Anuradha KapurâsVirasat reimagines Mahesh Elkunchwarâs Wada trilogy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A visceral, three-hour tour de force, Virasat distills Mahesh Elkunchwarâs iconic Wada Trilogy into a poignant saga of a feudal family decaying from within. It is a powerful allegory that speaks fluently to the present, capturing how the slow erosion of human values and environment continues to shape our world today. Director Anuradha Kapur reimagines her 2013 experiment with a hyperrealistic arena, set by scenographer Deepan Sivaraman, at New Delhiâs Sunder Nursery, doing away with the trad
âShaque: Trust No Oneâ series review: Lost in the midst of melodrama (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A wannabe gothic thriller wrapped in melodrama, Shaque: Trust No One series doubts what it wants to become. It is the kind of series that wants to be taken seriously only up to the point where the food doesnât burn in the kitchen.It throws in plenty of curated surprises to evoke curiosity, but it refuses to abandon the steady beat of a daily soap opera. OTT doesnât have commercial breaks. So you pause, step away, and come back with a fresh mind to join Anvitaâs (Parineeti Chopra) meanderin
âVillage Rockstars 2â movie review: Rima Das returns with a psalm of resistance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In contemporary Indian cinema, few voices capture the anguish and alchemy of rural survival quite like Rima Das. With Village Rockstars 2, the auteur returns to the flood-bitten plains of Assam, proving that lightning can indeed strike twice in the same muddy field. If the 2017 original was a euphoric, barefoot sprint through childhood fantasies, this luminous sequel is a melancholic exhale of coming of age. The cardboard guitars have given way to real strings. Her Apuâs melody is now weighted
âThe Vvaan: Force of the Forestâ movie review: Sidharth Malhotra slogs in a lopsided eco-thriller (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when the custodians of ecological preservation form a corrupt alliance with political forces in the name of progress? Arunabh Kumar and Ekta Kapoor combine to present the dialectic between ecological conservation and modernisation, wrapped in a glossy, high-pitched divine intervention, for a mass audience that, these days, looks South for grand mytho-mystical experiences. When Rishi (Sidharth Malhotra), a rational professional, returns to his ancestral village with his wife Mamta (T
âDaayraâ movie review: Meghna Gulzar challenges the circle of public conscience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Coming at a time when society is increasingly seduced by the idea of instant, extra-judicial justice, Meghna Gulzarâs Daayra takes a diagnostic look at the rot within the body politic where âencountersâ are routinely packaged and sold as desperate acts of self-defence, and a frustrated public gleefully buys it for the wheel of justice is excruciatingly slow. Heavily informed by the details and fallout of the 2019 Hyderabad case, the film takes away the sensationalised, high-octane tropes s
