Mukesh Khanna, known for his roles in Shaktiman, in a recent interview said that the #MeToo movement started because women began thinking themselves at par with men. The actor also added that it is the duty of women to take care of the household. In an interview to Filmy Charcha , the actor said women and men are different. He went on to add that the job of a woman is to take care of household works and the problem of #MeToo began when women started working. " Aaj aurat mard ke saath kandhe se kandha milane ki baat karti hai (Today, women talk about walking shoulder-to-shoulder with their male counterpart),” the actor added. The actor further said, “ Log women’s lib ki baat karenge, lekin main aapko bata doon, problem yahin se shuru hoti hai. (People talk about liberation of women, but let me tell you that the main problem begins from here)." He said because of this the first person who suffers is their child. It is because the child does not have a mother taking care o...

In Christian terms, Daniel (Bartosz Bielenia) is a sinner. He used to rob shops and stores. He did drugs. He killed a man. As he puts it: “Once I wanted to show off in front of my people, so I beat the shit out of one fucker and he fucking collapsed. He dropped dead in the hospital.” Well, unmeditated murder is still murder. Daniel ended up in a detention centre. And when he found out that the brother of the man he killed was heading to the same detention centre, he begged for parole. That’s the story of how Daniel is sent to work in a saw mill “at the other end of the country”. But that’s not the story of Jan Komasa’s 2019 drama  Corpus Christi , which premiered at the 2019 Venice Film Festival and was the Polish entry for the Best International Feature Film at Academy Awards 2020. (It was nominated. It lost to Parasite . ) The story is really about faith (look, again, at the film’s title!), which some of us struggle with. Movies about faith, therefore, are endlessly fascinating...

The SAG-AFTRA National Board is forming a task force to look into allegations of racism in the stunt community. Elaborating on the matter, SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris, said that they have heard stories of paint-downs, harassment, wiggings, and bias and have decided to stand together and say 'no more', reported Variety . The report further cited Carteris as having said that the Board recommended itself to its mission of diversity, equity, and inclusion for underrepresented stunt performers. On Friday night, the Board announced that a task force will look into the practices and develop protocols to help ensure fair and equitable hiring practices within the stunt community, the report added. According to a report in Deadline , the move was opposed by five stunt performers serving on the board. However, the move comes after dozens of stuntmen and women signed the letter that was sent on 30 September calling for an end to wigging, which is the age-old practice putti...

Mirzapur season 2 has been at the centre of attention ever since its release as it had to fill in the shoes of the highly popular first installment. However, a recent grievance has led the makers to issue an apology to an author. Popular Hindi writer Surender Mohan Pathak had claimed that  Mirzapur creators had misinterpreted his 2010 novel Dhabba while portraying it in a small scene in the show. Writer and director of Mirzapur 2, Puneet Krishna, has whole-heartedly apologised for “inadvertently hurting” the sentiments of the 81-year-old writer with their depiction of his work. Speaking to The Indian Express , Pathak had said that the character played by actor Kulbhushan Kharbanda in the show can be seen reading from his book Dhabba in the third episode of the series. Soon, a voiceover “reads out a sequence that appears to be an excerpt from the book. It is explicitly sexual and doesn’t exist in the novel.” He implored that as he has been writing pulp fiction for nearly 60...

*Spoilers ahead* Get your meme generators ready: Internet darling Baby Yoda returns with his reluctant dad for a new season of The Mandalorian . Keeping with Star Wars tradition, the Disney+ show is like a Bifrost Bridge between the worlds of samurai westerns and intergalactic adventures. Season 2 continues the cross-pollination with a sense of space, size and spark that mirrors those worlds and more. Aside from the usual Star Wars delights, prepare for an acute case of typecasting déjà vu as Timothy Olyphant plays another gunslinging cowboy like he did in Deadwood and Justified , with the same cockiness, trigger-happiness and all. Dune fans upset over the film's postponement also get a sandworm alternate in a Krayt Dragon. If you've done your homework, well and good. For those who haven't, a quick recap: Mando (real name: Din Djarin) wasn't born into the legendary Mandalorian tribe, but raised by them after his parents were killed by Separatist droids (h...

A woman who testified against disgraced and imprisoned Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein filed a lawsuit against him on 30 October to seek damages for what she described as lasting injuries. The woman brought the lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, seeking unspecified damages for sexual attacks she described from the witness stand at Weinstein’s trial earlier this year. She used a different name when she first told her story publicly. Weinstein is serving a 23-year prison sentence at a maximum-security prison near Buffalo after convictions in February for the rape and sexual assault of two women. In California, Weinstein is awaiting trial on charges including rape, forcible oral copulation, sexual battery by restraint, and sexual penetration by use of force. The counts involve five women and stem from events in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills from 2004 to 2013. The woman, a former Project Runway production assistant, said in the lawsuit that she repeatedly told Weinstein “no” when ...

To say that 2020 has been a horror-filled year would be an understatement. With the ongoing pandemic, economic and humanitarian crises and many other earth-shattering changes, this year has carved a nightmare-inducing mark for perhaps many subsequent years to come. To commemorate Halloween, it's only apt then that we bring you horror film recommendations that signify the kind of year 2020 has been so far: mentally exhausting, claustrophobic, psychologically-challenging and downright terrorising. With the relevant context, these five films can be truly the spine-chilling experience needed for Halloween.  * The Shining (1980) It isn’t just the oppressive loneliness of a vast hotel encircled by winter desolation which makes Kubrick’s movie the paragon of pandemic anxiety, but that the man trapped in it - Jack - is gripped by unseen, and for the most part unknowable, forces which slowly strip his mind of sanity - in his case, those that exist outside flesh and bone, and in ours...

Disney+ released a recap of its first season of The Mandalorian via a new video clocking in less than two minutes. The quick crash course (for the uninitiated) comes in two days before the premiere of The Mandalorian season 2 on Disney+ Hotstar Premium. As is seen in the video, the titular character pays important visits to new planets in the first season and gave viewers a glimpse into the Mandalorian life that they were not privy to. The 100-second teaser that Disney released touches upon all the major events that took place in the first season which include Din's discovery of The Child, his interactions with Cara Dune and Greef Karga, and most importantly his quest to find Baby Yoda's origins and return to his kind. In the second season, The Mandalorian and The Child continue their journey, facing enemies and rallying allies as they make their way through a dangerous galaxy in the tumultuous era after the collapse of the Galactic Empire. The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pa...

Language: Hindi    A covered well, a little girl and a grown man come together in the countryside on a pitch black night in the opening shot of Terrie Samundra’s Kaali Khuhi (The Black Well), a horror flick about macabre social practices and their consequences.  Cut to the daytime in a bustling urban centre where curious little Shivangi (Riva Arora) peers into a well filled with water and sees a reflection she was not expecting. Shivangi’s Daadi (grandmother) is unwell in their village and her parents, Priya and Darshan, squabble over the news since he (Satyadeep Mishra) wants to visit his mother while she (Sanjeeda Shaikh) seems repelled by the old lady (Leela Samson). When they finally get there we find out why: Daadi taunts Priya for being satisfied with a daughter, not craving a son and wanting a career for herself.   As Shivangi hangs out with her friend Chandni (Hetvi Bhanushali) and Satya Maasi (Shabana Azmi), ghosts of the past are resurrected and s...

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost know it’s been a while. Despite being best friends and an acclaimed comic double act in films like Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, they have seldom crossed paths, creatively speaking, since 2013’s The World’s End. It’s been even longer since they worked together in television — they haven’t co-starred in a series since the British sitcom Spaced aired more than 20 years ago. Now, seven years on from their last substantial collaboration, Pegg and Frost have reunited for supernatural comedy Truth Seekers, debuting Friday on Amazon Prime Video. The series stars Frost as Gus, a broadband installation expert who reluctantly gets paired up with new recruit Elton (Samson Kayo) by his boss Dave (Pegg). As the technicians go about their day job, seemingly coincidental supernatural occurrences begin to plague them with increasing regularity. These phenomena fascinate Gus, a part-time paranormal investigator. That is, until he and Elton become embroiled in a conspi...
