Ayalaan, directed by Ravikumar, features Sivakarthikeyan and Sharad Kelkar in a lighthearted sci-fi movie featuring an adorable alien. Our evaluation states that the film's poor writing is the main reason of its shortcomings.Filmed over nearly six years, Sivakarthikeyan's "Ayalaan" is a film plagued by financial restrictions.

"Exclusive | ""It was my duty to challenge Bollywood's romanticization of Karva Chauth,"" says Mrs. director Arati Kadav "
Director Arati Kadav discusses in an exclusive interview how she rewrote the slow-burning thriller The Great Indian Kitchen as a coming-of-age tale without making the male characters blatantly evil.For some time, Arati Kadav has been marginalized. She is one of the few filmmakers who seems to effortlessly establish her voice, with a small but impressive body of work that includes two innovative shorts (55 Km/sec, The Astronaut and His Parrot) and an impressive feature-length debut (Cargo). Although science fiction seems to be her preferred genre, her skill is integrating the fantastical into this nation's social and cultural fabric. An independent female director, particularly one who creates entire universes on shoestring budgets, is not only ignored, though, as is frequently the case in Bollywood. After all, the guidelines have always been straightforward: follow them or go extinct. Furthermore, you never define the game.However, Kadav appears to have undergone a sea change in the last three weeks. Her fantastical sci-fi thoughts have long been ignored by the industry, but now it seems to be taking notice. It's not just them, either. The crowd has also thrown out its arms, anxious to hear her thoughts. Her most recent movie, Mrs., which stars Sanya Malhotra and is an official remake of the landmark Malayalam classic The Great Indian Kitchen, is at the center of this change. With good reason, the movie has become a cultural hot spot, buzzing on social media and elsewhere. Men are starting to face their reflections in dining rooms and during quiet talks, as if the movie has unintentionally put a mirror in front of them.

Controversial remarks made by Ranveer Allahabadia: What is an excessive amount of offense?
In the recent past, India's Got Latent has also received a lot of criticism. The show has frequently blurred the boundaries between humor and bullying, as evidenced by Samay Raina's roast of Kusha Kapila, Uorfi Javed's exit from the set after a participant likened her to adult film star Mia Khalifa, or stand-up comic Bunty Banerjee's mockery of Deepika Padukone's battle with depression.During an appearance on a show hosted by comedian Samay Raina, podcast host Ranveer Allahbadia made a remark that was blatantly crude and completely unneeded. Although his remarks were intended only for a select group of channel subscribers who watch the show, it was not surprise that they elicited heated emotions. Two other states have filed formal complaints, and artist B Praak has canceled his planned participation on Ranveer's show.Additionally, he has already lost the most important asset in the market right now—social media followers—and could lose brand partnerships. When the situation started to get out of control, Ranveer uploaded a video in which he expressed regret for his words and acknowledged that he had gone too far. After facing harsh criticism and scrutiny, the show's host, Samay Raina, removed all of the videos.It's worth stopping to consider whether we are becoming offended too easily these days, even though the joke was problematic and, to be honest, sounded like a desperate attempt to sound cool or attempt black humor. When did we start being sanctimonious and intolerant at the same time? We either use someone else's error as fodder for a witch hunt, a meme fest, or a news item that competes for broadcast with issues of national significance. After a man made a grave mistake, musicians, movie producers, forgotten TV performers, cops from two states, and even the chief minister of Maharashtra expressed their indignation and started legal action within hours.A careless joke has caused more distress than all of our current issues in a society where both men and women with criminal records are elected to parliament to make important decisions for our nation. Concerns about whether this incident will be used to support more government control and censorship of new media and content producers who are highly popular due to their direct audience connection are unavoidable.
Sakamoto Days: Netflix anime is increasing the stakes due to an ex-assassin's possible match.
The plot of Sakamoto Days centers on a renowned assassin who becomes into a family man. Now that an equally powerful foe has been introduced, the anime may finally pick up speed and escalate the action.Around the world, a number of movies and television shows have examined the concept of the assassin-turned-family man and his life away from his previous transgressions. Naturally, the ghosts of the past continue to haunt the transformed guy, as one might anticipate. Would the family man turn into an assassin once more, though?In Sakamoto Days, Taro Sakamoto's journey follows a similar trajectory to our own Leo's (Thalapathy Vijay). However, the execution is drastically different, as one might anticipate from an anime. Everything changes when Sakamoto falls in love one fateful day. The once-dreaded hitman, who is blessed with equally incredible good looks and unfathomable talent, learns the true meaning of life. The renowned assassin suddenly changes into a modest, peaceful, and plump family man.Thus far, the anime has moved ahead well, with Sakamoto discovering relics of his past rather than being haunted by it, while also developing relationships with new allies who are as close as family. But the most recent episode suggests a change. The action is about to blow up, and the tempo is poised to pick up speed.
Review of Bada Naam Karenge: This Rajshri serial is heavy on kitchen-sink politics and is just clumsy.
Review of Bada Naam Karenge: Sooraj Barjatya's new musical raises a number of questions, including whether the fleeting period of youth that resurfaces every ten or so years is real or not.It is a contradictory experience to see this nine-part series, which is directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya, the Rajshri scion who brought Maryada and Sanskrit back into Hindi cinema in the mid-1990s. The 1994 Hum Aapke Hain Koun!, where it was totally acceptable to offer a newly widowed bhai's hand in marriage to his sister-in-law, and where the large temple-going joint family is benevolent but dismissive of its minority characters, makes you wonder if we have come any closer to that time and place.Or did we progress forward — Ratlam Junction, made famous by Jab We Met's "main-toh-apni-favourite-hoon" energetic Geet, finds a prominent place here — just to go back to the time when the older generation knew best most of the time and the younger generation had better behave, or else?The encounter between Ratlam youngster Rishabh Rathi (Ritik Ghanshani) and Ujjain girl Surbhi Gupta (Ayesha Kaduskar) in 2025's "Bada Naam Karenge" is clean and sweet. In reference to that scene in "HAHK," Surbhi says Rishabh later in the series, "ab sasur apni samdhan ke liye harmonium to nahin bajayenge," or something similar: Even in Tier 3 towns, harmoniums may be outdated (this is a real term someone uses here), but everything else is still in place, save for the annoying pomeranian.
Rose Lizo, played by Merenla Imsong in Paatal Lok 2, talks candidly about the character's complexity and her mother's response: "After watching the show, her blood pressure was elevated."
In an interview with SCREEN, Imsong discusses the difficulties of being an actor from Northeast India, the nuanced character of Rose Lizo, and the reason why her mother's blood pressure increased after seeing Paatal Lok 2.Abhishek Banerjee's Hathoda Tyagi, along with Jaideep Ahlawat's Hathiram Chaudhary and Ishwak Singh's Imran Ansari, became a memorable character in the first season of Paatal Lok. A lasting impression was created by his savagery and intricate past, which made the character both dangerous and likable to viewers.Rose Lizo, portrayed flawlessly by Merenla Imsong, is the focus of the highly acclaimed second season. Rose's struggle with heroin addiction and her survival in the perilous and ethically dubious environment of Paatal Lok are extensively explored in this season. The fact that Imsong was also learning the subtleties of Rose's character in real time, in addition to her unadulterated vulnerability and will to overcome her addiction, was what made her so captivating.Imsong talked candidly in an interview with SCREEN about her challenges as a "Northeastern" performer in Mumbai, how she embodied the nuanced role, and why her mother's blood pressure increased after viewing the piece.
Black Warrant: Charles Sobhraj was more successful than practicing attorneys because of his skill in drafting petitions.
Sunil Kumar Gupta, an ex-prisoner who starred in the recently released Netflix series Black Warrant, talked about his encounters with prominent prisoner Charles Sobhraj. Black Warrant is based on a novel that Sunil Gupta co-authored. Earlier this month, the series was released to favorable reviews. He recalled enlisting the serial killer into his jail's legal paperwork department and discussed dealing with him in a recent interview. He claimed that because Sobhraj was so skilled at drafting petitions for inmates, his success rate was higher than that of certain attorneys.Speaking on the Dostcast YouTube channel, he expressed his extreme happiness at being appointed a "legal assistant" at Tihar Jail. "Sobhraj kept coming to me with something or other," he stated. He kept coming to me, even though it's not like I did him any favors. He enjoyed creating petitions for inmates. Unbelievably, his petitions had a far greater success rate than those filed by qualified attorneys. In addition to his education, he had experience. He therefore understood precisely what words to use while speaking to the judges. He said that his idea to establish a legal library within the prison was accepted. "I recruited other convicts because I wasn't assigned proper typists," he added. I also got a man named Gurdeep, who was convicted of murder, in addition to Sobhraj. A Captain Rathod, who was found guilty of spying for Pakistan, was the next person I had. Had he not turned to espionage, he would have been a general.The jail handbook states that each inmate should be used to the fullest extent possible, according to Sunil Gupta. "We used Sobhraj because he was skilled at legal documentation." However, Sobhraj "betrayed" Sunil's confidence by staging an escape and adding sedatives to all of the jailers' desserts on his birthday. Eventually, he was apprehended once more. After that, Sobhraj was put in jail in Nepal. He was repatriated to his native France in 2022 after being released from the Nepali jail due to his advanced age.
Black Warrant: Real-life accounts of Charles Sobhraj's escape from Tihar after he drugged officers with sedative-laced barfi Gupta Sunil
Following his escape, Charles Sobhraj became the target of a nationwide manhunt. After nearly a month, he was discovered in Goa and completed the remaining ten years of his sentence.Serial killer Charles Sobhraj's activities while incarcerated at Tihar jail are also chronicled in Vikramaditya Motwane's Netflix series Black Warrant, which reenacts the events that took place there in the 1980s. Sidhant Gupta plays Charles in the show, while Zahan Kapoor portrays Sunil Kumar Gupta, the jailer. Sunil had already described how Charles had escaped Tihar on a Sunday in March 1986 in a previous interview. According to Sunil's story, the prison guards believed Charles could handle himself and were taken aback when he drugged them and left in luxury. Sunil stated in an interview with The Lallantop that he would refer to Charles' escape as "cheating with the system" rather than "jailbreak." According to Sunil, after years of cohabitation, they begin to view the inmates as family. "We treat inmates like family when they arrive at the jail. We treat him like family and don't give a damn about what he did outside. You also have a tendency to get a little friendlier with time. When someone has been in business for a long time, you begin to have some faith in them.Then, recalling what had happened that day, Sunil claimed that Charles was feigning to celebrate his birthday on Sunday. "I'm celebrating my birthday," he said. He picked a Sunday for it, in part because we only have a skeleton staff on that day. Some sedatives were brought in by one of his men. Charles placed an order for some barfi and a few sedatives. He then served it to everyone who was on duty or in a position of authority, giving them a Rs 50 bill and some barfi. People like him always found a way, even though currency wasn't permitted inside the jail back then," he claimed.

The show was a turning point in his career since it acknowledged and validated his exceptional acting abilities.In summary, Ishwak Singh describes Paatal Lok as a turning point in his career. Ishwak grew personally and professionally as a result of the show. He felt underappreciated before to Paatal Lok's triumph.Recently, Ishwak Singh, who received a lot of praise for his performance in Paatal Lok, talked about how the program changed his life and profession. The actor talked on the difficulties, personal development, and sense of validation that came with the show's success, calling it a defining event."Paatal Lok gave me massive growth both personally and professionally," Ishwak Singh stated in an exclusive interview with India Today Digital. I discovered an audience, the business took notice of me, and my genuine acting voice was at last acknowledged. Every creative person has something special to contribute, but in the beginning, I was frustrated because I thought others didn't completely appreciate my range of abilities. That changed with this show. Audiences and filmmakers began to recognize my contributions.Ishwak acknowledged that despite his talent, he frequently felt underappreciated prior to Paatal Lok. If you're honest with yourself, you know where you stand as an actor. My subjective evaluation of my skills and the confirmation I got following Paatal Lok were in agreement. I began to receive the kind of work I felt I was entitled to—real stories with multi-layered, nuanced characters. I had tremendous personal and professional progress at that point," he remarked.

Squid Game 2 was a bad game for five reasons.
In December of last year, the eagerly awaited Squid Game 2 became available on Netflix. Here are the reasons why the Lee Jung-jae film fell short.For many fans, Squid Game 2 was a tremendous letdown. Season one's depiction of Seoung Gi-hun's harrowing journey raised expectations that the second installment would be just as thrilling and intriguing. The creators, however, fell short. Many people have concerns about gaps in the highly anticipated second season, which premiered on December 26, 2024, and have conjectured about the promises made for season 3.I didn't think Squid Game 2 was worth playing for the following five reasons: 1. Less enjoyment with fewer games It wasn't as engaging as the previous season, despite Seoung Gi-hun's decision to return and play the games. Even if we ignore the similarity, there were less games in the episodes, which meant less fun and survival adrenaline. Furthermore, what made the games engaging in the past was that they weren't created with a social setting in mind. Additionally, the buildup between the games was excessively prolonged. 2. The accessibility of the front man The antagonist, Front Man, was the subject of a lot of fanfare. One of the most exciting aspects about Squid Game was that his identity was kept a secret. But forcing him to participate in the game was a huge letdown because it resulted in nothing positive during the climax. It was preferable to leave his actual self undiscovered. Indeed, Front Man's debut felt unimpressive and ambiguous. 3. Inadequate character growth Inadequate character development also hurt season two. A number of characters' backstories and arcs were left unfinished. Furthermore, their personal lives and stories lacked depth. Because of the diminished relatability, the second season's influence was brief. 4. The subplot of the boat crew Raising the stakes for the entire drama, the subplot involving the boat crew may have been a noteworthy addition to the narrative. The creators lost out on a significant chance that might have changed the course of Squid Game 2. The entire crew appeared to be lost after a time. 5. A mediocre climax Any Squid Game fan's last hope came at the game's climax. But many were disappointed by Gi-hun's sad response and the passing of his best friend.
