Pan Nalin, producer and director of Indian Oscar-shortlisted film “Last Film Show,” has boarded Subhadra Mahajan’s debut feature “Second Chance” as an executive producer.
Mahajan previously served as assistant director on Nalin’s “Echo of Eco,” “Angry Indian Goddesses,” “Beyond the Known World” and “Last Film Show.”
“Second Chance,” now in the final stages of post-production, was launched at India’s Film Bazaar co-production market in 2020, and has participated in labs and development programs including Film Independent Global Media Makers Program 2022, the Cannes market co-production day 2021 and Produire Au Sud Kolkata.
The film follows city girl Nia who visits her family home in the western Himalayas after a decade, in the dead of winter, alone. An illicit abortion paired with a stinging abandonment has broken her spirit. The caretaker of the house departs, leaving his old mother-in-law, Bhemi, a weathered mountain woman, in charge, along with his live wire of a young son,...

Shot entirely on an iPhone 14 Pro, ‘Fursat’ with Ishaan Khattar and Wamiqa Gabbi in lead roles, the movie, according to Bhardwaj, has proved that making a full-blown, two-hour feature film is now possible with the device. And he is willing to take a shot at it.
“Not just short films, I feel that the iPhone is now ready to help us create a full feature film. It is kind of unbelievable that we can have such a kind of stabilisation in scenes with Action Mode in iPhone 14 Pro. Cinematic Mode, or shift focus in our language, is another intelligent feature. The amazing part is that we could use this Cinematic Mode tool even after the shot was taken,” Bhardwaj told Ians.
The device, he said, gives freedom to filmmakers who cannot afford to hire the entire fleet of tech equipment.
“It liberates you. You have a great device and now you only need content,...

It seems that the aesthetics of Western are having an impact in Hindi cinema nowadays, since after “Gangubai”, “Thar” also implements a similar approach, and even more intently one could say, particularly due to the story and the action here, which also moves towards noir, exploitation and thriller paths.
The story takes place in 1985 in the northern border of India, mostly in Munabao, a small town where Sureka Singh is the chief inspector. As the movie begins, a number of gunmen start shooting the place, while the tortured corpse of a man is found hanging from a tree. Sureka believes the instigators are either dacoit bandits or opium smugglers, since the area bordering Pakistan is infested with them. Along with his deputy, Bhur, he investigates but the case is proven more complicated than he initially thought. The appearance of Siddharth, a young and handsome man who is looking for some...

Half the trick lies in the casting. Anil Kapoor plays Anil Kapoor. Anurag Kashyap plays Anurag Kashyap. They get to badmouth each other exposing the other's fallacies in the build-up to an engaging thriller overflowing with wry wit.
Ak Vs Ak has to be the quirkiest film Bollywood made this year.
Vikramaditya Motwane's film thrives on its sheer absence of genre-specifics. It involves real people playing out a fictional storyline, and yet the narrative coldly draws from their lives to set up make-belief. The mocku-mentary style narrative plays out with the clinical precision of a true story, except that none of it actually ever happened.
Avinash Sampath's story is a two-liner. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap (as himself) and veteran Bollywood star Anil Kapoor (as himself) are at loggerheads. The filmmaker kidnaps Sonam Kapoor (as herself), daughter of the star, and sets off the senior actor on a frantic search,...

Newton
Starring Rajkummar Rao, Anjali Patil, Pankaj Tripathi
Directed by Amit R Masurkar
Rating: ****(4 stars)
In Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Satyakam, a film that echoes in unexpected ways in the new Rajkummar Rao experience, when Dharmendra the obstinate idealist, is asked why he stood first class second in his exams he replies, “Because the student who stood first was better than me.”
Newton Kumar exactly that idealist from Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s film grappling with the political irony of a country where a majority is too poor and illiterate to vote. Rajkummar’s Newton is the guy who will shine if not outshine the competition by the strength of his convictions.
This is one more triumphant performance for Rao who has made a habit of conferring a brilliant narrative to every character he plays. Really, it’s become a force of habit for this actor.
On the surface not much seems to happen in Newton.
