Pardon my nerdy brain for drawing a connection between the classic DC comics storyline Flashpoint and Director Bsp Varma’s romantic sci-fi flick, Murphy, but I couldn’t help but notice a thematic similarity between the two in the way both these stories utilize the plot device of time travel to emphasize the importance of finding acceptance in grief and the immutability of the flow of time. There is a strong emotional core acting as a foundation in both these stories, established through parental connections—which adds a relatability factor to the narrative itself.

If you are a sci-fi aficionado, then the plot of Murphy will seem extremely simplistic to you, but paired with strong characterization and a taut script, clearing the basics can do wonders—which this Kannada sci-fi drama has managed to do. As an add-on, viewers get treated to the tranquil beauty of the lush Goan countryside,...

With all the larger-than-life characters and their very humane tribulations, the symbolic and philosophical significance of the epic narratives, imaginative world-building, and pioneering concepts, the rich lore of Indian mythology boasts an untapped potential of expansive storytelling. This is all the more reason as to why director Nag Ashwin’s ambitious amalgamation of Indian mythology and dystopian epic in the form of Kalki 2898 Ad is still making a buzz even nearly two months since its theatrical release. With grand visuals, a star-studded cast, and monumental scale to match the vision of a reimagined Indian mythos, the Tamil blockbuster has laid the groundwork for an interconnected universe. Kalki 2898 Ad, as the first entry to the universe, proves to be a stellar addition to the unique subgenre of sci-fi/mythology mashup, the likes of which were popularized by Virgin Comics’ Ramayan 3392 Ad.

Malayalee From India was one of the much-awaited releases of 2024. The comedy drama was released in theatres on May 1, 2024. It received mixed reviews from the critics and, unfortunately, didn’t work well at the box office either. However, the film features one of the most loved actors, Nivin Pauly.

After two months of its theatrical release, the film will soon be streaming on a streaming platform. If you are one of those who are excited to watch the movie, keep reading this space.

The world is a wasteland, dead bodies illuminated by covering the earth to the luridly lit horizon, drums thundering and voices rising in a choral tide; Kalki 2898 Ad is massive from the word go. Enter Krishna, mounted on a chariot drawn by four suitably apocalyptic black horses, to curse the battle’s seemingly sole survivor, Ashwarthama, for the sin of shooting an unborn child. Like many of the characters blundering through Nag Ashwin’s stupendous Telugu-language epic, the valiant Ashwarthama lacks a moral framework.

Thanks to Krishna, he will have plenty of time to acquire one; he is to be punished not with death, but with thousands of years of dreary life awaiting his destiny, which is to save the god Vishnu in his next incarnation. A god can take many forms, the chorus of voices tells us. Kalki is the name given to Vishnu’s 10th and final avatar.

The Indian epic Mahabharata has long been an inspiration to Indian filmmakers. Notable examples include Shyam Benegal’s Kalyug (1981) and Mani Ratnam’s Thalapathi (1991), which instantly come to mind. Both films take the premise of the mythological text and set their stories in contemporary societies plagued by greed, violence, and crime, reflecting a world that is both ruthless and compassionate. Ashwin Nag’s recent outing Kalki 2898 Ad borrows characters who gallantly participated in the Kurukshetra War, utilizing both trickery and bravery to gain succession between two groups of cousins. Nag sets his ambitious tale in a futuristic setting filled with computer-generated images of a ravaged and cruel world where people, governed by dominating powers, are awaiting a miracle to rescue them from their misery. With actors cast from various film industries across the country, including Bollywood, Tollywood, Mollywood, and Kollywood, the dystopic Telugu action drama carefully balances itself between...

Tera Kya Hoga Lovely

In A. C. Tirulokchandar’s Main Bhi Ladki Hoon, which released 60 years ago, Meena Kumar (all smeared in dark colouring) played a dark-complexioned girl Rajni who finds herself being humiliated and ridiculed every step of her way.

At one point in the melodramatic rendition of colour prejudice, the Tragedy Queen stands before a statue of Lord Krishna and sings (in Lata Mangeshkar’s voice) Krishna oh kaley Krishna/tuney yeh kya kiya kaisa badla liya/Rang deke mujhe apna.

Ileana D’Cruz , no Meena Kumari, stands before a picture of Lord Krishna in director Balwinder Singh Janjua’s surprisingly sassy and funny romcom, wondering what the hell happened.

D’Cruz as the spirited dusky Lovely is miscast. It would have been better to cast an actual dark-complexioned actress in the role rather than smear the actress with a weird tan.

When The Beatles broke up, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, were on decidedly bad terms. They were embroiled in a legal battle and spoke publicly about their gripes with one another. One of Lennon’s biggest problems with his bandmates was how unwelcoming they were to Yoko Ono. While it angered him, he still said he could understand their frustration.

John Lennon understood why his Beatles bandmates were unhappy with him

Lennon and Ono were incredibly close, both emotionally and physically. She joined him in the studio, to the irritation of the other Beatles.

“He just wanted to go off in the corner and look into Yoko’s eyes for hours, saying to each other, ‘It’s going to be all right,’” McCartney said in The Beatles Anthology. “It was pretty freaky when we were trying to make a track.”

However, finding financing for such projects is often difficult, if not impossible, which is why many directors do not rely on traditional ways of getting their ideas of the ground. One such director is Ashish Avikunthak, whose previous feature “Glossary of Non-Human Love” has tackled the troublesome relationship of technology and mankind. “Devastated” one the one hand offers a very provocative perspective on Narendra Modi's India, but one the other hand is a – as the title suggests – a truly devastating parable on how people may be able to justify even the most horrible deeds.
