Bejoy Nambiar, in the past few years since the advent of Ott content, has come up with many stories for the streaming platforms and for theaters as well. As a writer-director, he has always been known for exploring cool subjects. Sadly, he overindulges himself, and the movie or the show quickly gets out of hand. Dange, which means riots, is a film that he ambitiously directed alongside a Tamil version, trying to pull off what Mani Ratnam did with Ravan/Ravanan and Yuva/Aaytha Ezhuthu. The Tamil film is called Por and follows the same plot as the Hindi one. Set in Goa, Dange is about rivalry between two men who seemed to have a history much before they ran into each other years later in St. Martins University.

Forget Valentine’s Day. As proven by Netflix’s One Day adaptation, St. Swithin’s Day is the ultimate day of love.
One Day, which is based on the novel of the same name by David Nicholls and dropped all 14 episodes on Thursday, begins on the night of Emma (played by This Is Going to Hurt’s Ambika Mod) and Dexter’s (The White Lotus’ Leo Woodall) graduation from a Scottish university. The pair cross paths at a grand celebration (nearly Saltburn-esque in its opulence, dare I say) and end up spending the night and much of the next morning together.

Remakes are the talk of the town, especially in the Disney+ Hotstar universe.

The third show in line after these two remakes is Karmma Calling, an official adaptation of the ABC show Revenge. The Hindi remake was created by Ruchi Narain and released on January 26, 2024, on Disney+.

Balachandra – actor, writer, filmmaker – has revealed a simple solution, hitherto known only to him, to end the problems that happen between man and woman. Of course, he does not really believe that there has ever been any problem, but just in case there is, it can be solved with – hold your breath – a ‘nottam’ (look) and a ‘kallachiri’ (naughty smile), he writes in his Facebook post in response to newspaper articles on subjects like masturbation and menstruation.

KollywoodHow many of you '90s kids had a Baby Shalini haircut when growing up?Anjana ShekarCinema is a hot box of trends. Quite often it influences what you wear, how you speak and also how you behave. If you were to go through your old photo albums, you’d find that knowingly or unknowingly you've added a certain type of clothing or a piece of accessory to your wardrobe, inspired from what you saw on the big screen. The latest ‘’96 Janu kurta’ craze is example enough, with the number of women draping their dupatta around their neck growing exponentially after the film. In that sense, cinema only brings into the forefront what’s already present and what’s implementable - no one’s wearing Aishwarya Rai’s feathered headdress that she wore for the ‘Kilimanjaro’ song in Enthiran! But cinema inspiring fashion trends isn’t something new and it isn’t permanent either.
