Acclaimed film actress and director Nandita Das, who is always passionate about women’s welfare and gender equality, is no stranger to tackling difficult issues that are often missed or go unnoticed, as did most notably in her film “Zwigato”, starring Kapil Sharma.
At the launch of the Ilss Emerging Women’s Leadership Program in New Delhi, Das, however, spoke about her short film “Listen to Her”.
She shot the film, which, like “Zwigato”, also revolves around the theme of the complexities of life under Covid-induced lockdowns, at home with son Vihaan and it zeroes in on the issue of women being overburdened while staying back and facing domestic violence to boot.
“One fine morning, I woke up and read this newspaper article about how women are being overburdened during the lockdown. And I am talking about the privileged class, who are attending zoom meetings and taking care of their...

Uri
Starring Vickey Kaushal, Mohit Raina, Paresh Rawal, Yami Gautam
Written & Directed by Aditya Dhar
Wars often rage within the soldiers’ hearts, specially when they belong to army families. In one of this significant war film’s highpoints, Major Vihaan Singh Shergill, played by the self-effacing Vicky Kaushal, gathers his troop together somewhere in Kashmir before striking surgically in the country next door.
These are soldiers who have lost loved ones in terror attacks,and their blood boils.
Uri brings the blood of cross-border tension to a boil but avoids a spillover. There is a rush of patriotic pride in the product—and why should there not be?—but it is reined-in, curbed and never allowed to spill over in a gush of irrepressible jingoism. If you want to see soldiers dancing around a bonfire singing about how much they love their country and how much miss their loved ones,...

Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle was the original Jungle Book adaptation, but following Disney’s huge live-action triumph, the film was sold to Netflix and now prepares for its launch. While telling the same story, it’s a completely different affair, so dark in tone, as a far more faithful adaptation of the renowned Kipling prose.
To mark the release we sat down with the film’s director Andy Serkis, who also plays Baloo, as well as the title role himself, Rohan Chand. Finally we spoke to Eddie Marsan, who voices the role of Vihaan. Serkis describes the journey the film has gone on before finally making its way to our screens, and why he feels Netflix makes the perfect home for his tale to be told.
Serkis also speaks about the dark elements to the film and whether it’s child-proof, while Marsan speaks about the values and messages the film is exploring.

Netflix has released a new trailer for director Andy Serkis upcoming adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book. The movie is called Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle and it’s said to be a much darker take on the classic story. It actually looks like it could be a great film!
The story follows the upbringing of the human child Mowgli, raised by a wolf pack in the jungles of India. As he learns the often harsh rules of the jungle, under the tutelage of a bear named Baloo and a panther named Bagheera, Mowgli becomes accepted by the animals of the jungle as one of their own. All but one: the fearsome tiger Shere Khan. But there may be greater dangers lurking in the jungle, as Mowgli comes face to face with his human origins.
The movie also features an all-star ensemble cast that includes Christian Bale as the cunning panther,...

Warner Bros. has its own take on The Jungle Book with Mowgli... except it's now headed to Netflix.
What was once known as Jungle Book: Origins is now Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle. While Jon Favreau's 2015 Disney adaptation made a splash, Warner Bros. brought plenty of star power of its own, including Benedict Cumberbatch as Shere Khan, as well as Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Naomie Harris, Tom Hollander, Eddie Marsan, and Peter Mulan in the live-action and CGI amalgamation, which is directed by Andy Serkis. – Yes, motion-capture suit, "my precious" Andy Serkis. He works off a script by first-time screenwriter Callie Kloves.
Mowgli became the center of what could be considered a watershed move in the film industry’s ongoing theatrical/streaming distribution struggle, since, back in July, Netflix made a deal with Warner Bros. to acquire worldwide rights to movie. Consequently, the film, now brandishing...
