Tvf is back again with the second season of its hit show Aspirants, which dives further into the memorable characters. Some, like Sandeep Bhaiya and Sk, have had their own spin-off shows, but it is in the second season that all of them reunite, and the drama takes off. We have come to associate Tvf with heartwarming and uplifting dramedies, but Aspirants Season 2 stays clear of the comedy. Very unlike Tvf, this season does not have humor as a sweet coating, which gives a feel-good vibe to Tvf shows. Sure, there may be very dark and heavy episodes sometimes, but the humor is always there. Aspirants works by inducing conflicts between almost all the characters and then stretching the scenes, sometimes into over-sentimental territories. That’s a nice technique to constantly keep the viewer engaged in the ever-evolving drama, but the knots they find themselves in are not that easy to truthfully resolve.

The first season of Tvf’s Aspirants was a huge success, but the minor issue it was criticized for was its use of product placements that derailed the flow of the story in many episodes. Perhaps it was the necessary evil required to produce the show, but Tvf is back with the show’s second season. This time, with enough backing that they didn’t need the product placements, the show stayed clear of selling a brand name by merging it into the narrative. The result is that the story flows smoothly, yet the impact it creates is quite sporadic in nature. The characters that had been set in the previous season reappear in the same way we had left them, but the story has enough jarring gaps that are hard to connect. The memorable background score is there to mark the important transitions in the characters’ lives, but some...

Vendôme Pictures, the production house behind Sian Heder’s Oscar-winning film “Coda,” is set to produce “Ibelin,” a feature film which will be directed by Morten Tyldum (“The Imitation Game”).
Penned by Kyle Killen (“Halo”), the film will be inspired by the real-life story of Mats Steen, a disabled boy from Norway who went by ‘Ibelin’ in the gaming world.
Vendôme Pictures’ Philippe Rousselet and Fabrice Gianfermi are producing alongside Tyldum and Guri Neby (“The Monkey and the Mouth”) for Neby-Tyldum As. Principal photography will take place in the U.S., suggesting that the action will take place in the U.S. rather than Norway. Production dates yet to be set.
Like “Coda,” “Ibelin” will likely be a heart-wrenching drama. Steen died at the age of 25 from Duchenne muscular dystrophy. His parents, Robert and Trude, mourned what they thought had been a lonely and isolated life for their disabled son.
