    Anuradha Kapur’sVirasat reimagines Mahesh Elkunchwar’s Wada trilogy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A visceral, three-hour tour de force, Virasat distills Mahesh Elkunchwar’s 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 Delhi’s Sunder Nursery, doing away with the trad

    ‘Shaque: Trust No One’ series review: Lost in the midst of melodrama (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    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 doesn’t 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 doesn’t have commercial breaks. So you pause, step away, and come back with a fresh mind to join Anvita’s (Parineeti Chopra) meanderin

    ‘Village Rockstars 2’ movie review: Rima Das returns with a psalm of resistance (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    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 Apu’s melody is now weighted

    ‘The Vvaan: Force of the Forest’ movie review: Sidharth Malhotra slogs in a lopsided eco-thriller (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    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

    ‘Daayra’ movie review: Meghna Gulzar challenges the circle of public conscience (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Coming at a time when society is increasingly seduced by the idea of instant, extra-judicial justice, Meghna Gulzar’s Daayra takes a diagnostic look at the rot within the body politic where ‘encounters’ 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
