Indian sales outfit Indywood Distribution Network has sold Rupesh Paul’s “Kamasutra — The Revenge” wide ahead of Hong Kong’s film rights market FilMart.
Starring Sherlyn Chopra, Milind Gunaji and Gajendra Chauhan, and produced by San2Creations, the film follows two princesses — one who is robbed of her dreams when forced to accept a middle-aged king as her husband, and another thirsty for revenge.
Indywood has sold the film to Twin, A2 Filmes (Latin America TV/VOD), Filmbridge, Pioneer Film and Rft Films.
The company has an extensive FilMart slate that also includes Sri Lankan auteur Prasanna Vithanage’s “Paradise,” winner of the Kim Jiseok award at Busan 2023 and nominated in four categories at the Asian Film Awards. Produced by Newton Cinema and starring Roshan Mathew, Darshana Rajendran and Shyam Fernando, the film follows an Indian couple who arrive in the hill country of crisis-ridden Sri Lanka to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary.

Phoenix Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Aju Varghese, Nilja K Baby, Abhirami Bose, Chandhunadh, Anoop Menon, Bhagath Manuel
Director: Vishnu Bharathan
Writer: Midhun Manuel Thomas
Review of ‘Phoenix’ Is Out! (Picture Credit: IMDb)
What’s Good: “Phoenix” breaks free from traditional horror tropes, focusing on the emotion of longing rather than vengeful spirits. The screenplay skillfully intertwines a love story with a deadly cholera outbreak, creating a unique and nuanced narrative. The deliberate pace and avoidance of excessive jump scares contribute to the film’s eerie atmosphere.
What’s Bad: While the film successfully explores complex themes, the romantic exchanges between Freddy and Anna sometimes suffer from an overly dramatic tone. An attempt to present Freddy in a positive light feels unnecessary, given his self-centered nature. The first half is marred by an excessive use of suspenseful music, potentially disrupting the viewing experience for some.
Loo Break: Around the 47-minute mark,...

Family is a very simple and minimalistic looking film on the outside but deep inside is a haunting, and at times, terrifying look at a Christian community set in the backdrop of rural Kerala in India. Director Don Palathara has crafted a brutally authentic film where lingering static shots with minute invisible details tell a story where the audience serves as a witness in every scene. Right from the opening scene, we see wide angle shots where the camera acts like a third person in every scene, invisible to the characters and is devoid of any emotion/opinion, good or bad.
The dense forest region filled with cloudy foggy skies mirrors the community that Don is trying to show us. He does so in a very structured and methodical manner as he peels away at the story layer by layer. The perfection in the execution of every shot is consistent and therefore impressive.
