As government allows 100% occupancy in cinemas, release of Vineet Kumar Singh's Aadhaar postponed

Image
On the evening of Saturday January 30, the Union government put out a directive that cinema halls can run with 100% occupancy. And as expected, it led to a wave of cheer among exhibitors, trade and industry at large. Post-lockdown, cinema halls were allowed to open from October 15. However, they were told to operate at 50% occupancy. Hence, alternate seats were asked to be left vacant. The exhibition sector was constantly persuading the government that running theatres at half the occupancy was not feasible. Bollywood filmmakers, too, shied away from releasing their mid-sized and big-ticket films in such a scenario as they feared losses. But with the 100% occupancy being allowed, trade is already abuzz that very soon, a slew of announcements of release dates of biggies are going to take place. Meanwhile, Jio Studios, which was supposed to release Aadhaar on Friday February 5, have decided to postpone its release. Starring Vineet Kumar Singh, Sanjay Mishra and Saurabh Shukla, this Su...

Image
Is Kabir Khan’s 83 , the sports drama about India’s victory at the 1983 World Cup series, about to get an international spin? It is reliably learnt that the film is being readied in the English language as well as the original Hindi. Reveals the source, “It makes sense to have an English version of 83 since Kapil Dev has fans all over the world. The story of his triumph at the 1983 World Cup is of interest to his fans across the world. So yes, an international English version of 83 is being considered.” 83 stars Ranveer Singh as Kapil Dev while Ranveer real-life wife Deepika Padukone plays Kapil Dev’s better-half Romi Dev.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali to revive Inshallah with Alia Bhatt and a different leading man

Image
Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali is certainly not done with his aborted dream-project Inshallah , the love story that was to feature Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt. Making a flash-decision, he closed down Inshallah and quickly moved on to Gangubai Kathiawadi with Alia Bhatt in the title role. But Inshallah remains in the back of Bhansali’s mind. “It is a beautiful simple timeless love story. Sanjay still wants to make it with Alia and a different leading man,” reveals a source close to the epic director. The hero required for the part must be in the 50-plus category and a big star. Shah Rukh Khan is the obvious choice. “But Shah Rukh Khan has already done a film – Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi — with Alia. So the novelty of seeing the two generation-challenged superstars exchanging emotions is gone. But who knows! It may be SRK only.  The important thing is to make Inshallah exactly the way SLB had envisaged it. And he will.” Also Read:  EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Leela Bhansali to ...

SCOOP: Kartik Aaryan to sign Sanjay Leela Bhansali's web series Heera Mandi?

Image
Sanjay Leela Bhansali is stepping into the web zone now. And just like we expected, he is all set to turn heads and grab eyeballs with a magnum opus being planned for the digital platform. The mega budget series is actually a script that was initially planned as a feature film, starring Priyanka Chopra in the lead. Now, Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi have been roped in to play two leads, whereas talks are on with Vidya Balan as well. But the heroine centric film, that revolves around the life of courtesans and prostitutes during the Indo-Pak partition, also has many prominent male lead roles. SLB has already started discussion with a few actors. The source adds, "Kartik Aaryan and Bhansali have always discussed in teaming up for a film together. They have met a couple of times in the past as well but nothing worked out. Recently, he was spotted at the maverick filmmaker's office and apparently, SLB asked him if he would like to do a role in Heera Mandi ." Kartik was a...

Image
Sundance Film Festival 2021 has already seen a record-breaking acquisition. Apple has acquired  CODA for a whopping $25 million at this year's festival. According to Entertainment Weekly, "Apple has shelled out a reported $25 million to acquire the festival's opening-day sensation CODA, marking the most expensive acquisition in Sundance history."

‘Land’ Review: Robin Wright Goes Off the Grid in Her Feature Directorial Debut [Sundance 2021]

Image
“I’m here because I choose to be.” So says Edee ( Robin Wright ) after she’s been resuscitated from near-death in a secluded cabin tucked away in the Rocky Mountains. As Land begins, we see Edee come to the cabin under somewhat mysterious circumstances: she throws her cell phone in a trash can, and once she’s moved-in she pays someone to come haul her car away so she has no real way to leave without getting lost wandering in all that wilderness. The cabin rests on the edge of a hill and has quite the view – all sprawling mountains blanketed with green and capped with snow. It’s a peaceful place – in theory. But Edee is not used to living like this, and though she came prepared with canned food and other essentials, it doesn’t take long before she’s in mortal danger. What brought Edee here? And did she come out here to die? She’s haunted by flashes of her past – images of a silent husband and son who are always out of reach; memories of hopeless, tear-inducing fights with h...

‘Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street’ Review: A Loving Tribute to the Groundbreaking Children’s TV Show [Sundance 2021]

Image
Documentaries like I Am Big Bird: The Carroll Spinney Story and Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey have already dug into a couple slices of the magic that makes Sesame Street so beloved by children and adults alike. Now Marilyn Agrelo ‘s new film Street Gang: How We Got to Sesame Street (inspired by Michael Davis’ book of the same name ) goes back to the origins of the groundbreaking series created by producer Joan Ganz Cooney and writer/director Jon Stone , and shines a light on the hurdles, milestones, and memorable moments that have turned Sesame Street into a worldwide sensation beloved by millions. Sesame Street has been a staple of childhoods for 50 years. But before the educational television series from the Children’s Television Workshop came along, the entertainment available to children was nothing more than junk food programming meant to sell toys and candy. That’s where Joan Ganz Cooney comes into play, who realized that television could be used to educate kids instea...

‘The Matrix 4’ Appears to Be Titled ‘Matrix Resurrections’, A Title We Jokingly Predicted in 2009

Image
One of the most anticipated movies of 2021 is undoubtedly the return of The Matrix franchise. Referred to as The Matrix 4 ever since the project was announced, fans have been waiting to hear what the new movie might be called. The HBO Max teasers for the same-day premieres Warner Bros. Pictures is trying out with all their release this year made it seem as if the movie could be going with the clean simple title of Matrix , but now it appears that we may have the official title. Fans on Reddit and Twitter grabbed a screenshot of an alleged Instagram post from one of The Matrix 4’s hairstylists. The post has since been deleted, but the screenshot in question features a wrap gift with a card that refers to the film by the title Matrix Resurrections . The Title certainly fits the style of the previous sequels, The Matrix Relaoded and The Matrix Revolutions . However, it should be noted that “The” doesn’t appear before the title on the card. Perhaps they’ve followed the advice of F...

‘Mayday’ Review: Mia Goth Leads a Group of Lost Girls to War in a Dreamy, Distorted ‘Peter Pan’ Fable [Sundance 2021]

Image
“Mary, Alpha, Yankee, Delta, Alpha, Yankee…” a woman’s voice lazily repeats over radio static, as a man parachutes from a helicopter amid a freak storm. That refrain echoes throughout Karen Cinorre ‘s surreal drama: “Mayday, mayday” the woman calls, not appearing to need much help at all. But Mayday is very much about women in need. Women who have taken sanctuary in a dreamlike fantasy world eternally at war, luring men to their deaths with their distress calls like some kind of post-modern siren. Writer and director Cinorre, in her stunning feature directorial debut, has crafted an eerie distorted Peter Pan fable out of a fantasy of a women’s world, which pokes at the fragile barrier between life and death. It’s in this strange Neverland where Grace Van Patten’s Ana finds herself after a short circuit at her workplace lands her on this nameless island, washing up on shore with no memory of what happened before. We only get fractured glimpses of Ana’s previous life too, and it’s...

‘Mank’: Netflix Releases Color Photos From the Set of David Fincher’s Latest Movie

Image
Netflix finds itself in an interesting position as this year’s odd Oscar season gets underway. Mank , director David Fincher ‘s luxurious Old Hollywood period piece, was once considered a frontrunner in several categories, but as we get further and further from its release, it seems Netflix may be worried that voters might forget about the film in favor of whatever hot new thing they’ve seen more recently. So what is there to do? Well, here’s one way to keep the film in peoples’ minds. The streaming service’s film-centric Twitter account has shared several behind the scenes Mank color photos, providing a stark juxtaposition with the classic black-and-white cinematography of the film itself. And hey, it worked: we’re talking about Mank again. Check out the photos below, which showcase stars Gary Oldman and Amanda Seyfried on the set “for the first time in glorious color.” “Rather than using color to paint and distinguish, it’s the lack of it that became the challenge because we ...
