The times are changing across Indian cinema and Katrina Kaif, one of the top stars of the country, is changing with them.
The top 10 Indian films in the post-pandemic year 2023 were all star-driven blockbusters and Kaif was in the mix with Bollywood action extravaganza “Tiger 3,” the latest in Yash Raj Films’ spy universe, where she starred alongside Salman Khan. 2024 has seen a paradigm shift in that, with five of the top 10 films being what are known locally as “content films,” where a strong storyline takes precedence over spectacle.
The Hindi-language Bollywood may be India’s most visible film industry globally and the term is often used internationally as shorthand for the country’s other film industries, much to their chagrin. To put matters in context, of the 1,796 Indian films released in 2023, 317 were in the Telugu language, 271 in Tamil and 241 in Kannada, with Bollywood in joint fourth place with Malayalam,...

There has been a resurgence of crime-investigation thrillers in Malayalam cinema. The past films, such as Cbi: Our Diary Kurippu (1988) and Anjaam Paathiraa (2020), have paved the way for some interesting stories about serial killers, following the investigation path chosen by the leads in the film.

Merry Christmas
Starring Katrina Kaif, Vijay Sethupathi
Directed by Sriram Raghavan
Yadhoom is the home-made whiskey that Albert’s uncle, played by Tinu Anand , recommends as the spirit of the season: create your own yadhoom and have a good time in life.
This is what Sriram Raghavan does. His yadhoom may not match with yours. But heck, life is what you make of it. Merry Christmas is not a merry film. Come to think of it, it is not even Christmassy. Albert (Vijay Sethupathi) and Maria (Katrina Kaif) are two wistful souls who collide on Christmas eve in neon-lit Bombay (this is when Mumbai was Bombay) in the 1970s when , Rajesh Khanna, Shakti Samanta’s Aradhana and Kati Patang and R D Burman ruled the charts.

In Sriram Raghavan’s latest film, Merry Christmas, a complex web of lies, a murder plot, and an unexpected love story unfolds, drawing inspiration from the pages of the French novel Le Monte-charge by Frédéric Dard. Immersing itself in shadows where humor mingles with intrigue, and drama weaves with subtle suspense, the film creates a world pulsating with hidden motives. Raghavan, renowned for his mastery of crime filmmaking, has consistently captivated audiences with his adept use of cinematic elements and technical prowess in previous works. However, in this sixth feature, the director’s storytelling rhythm appears to languish at a prolonged pace, failing to deliver the expected impact synonymous with his esteemed reputation. Despite moments of brilliance, there’s a persistent feeling that the structural choices might obscure the narrative’s full potential, leaving viewers yearning for the trademark intensity that defines his cinematic legacy. As the story progresses, it...

Just like other Sriram Raghavan films, it is a thriller with a lot of twists and turns.
Those who have watched the film are boasting of brilliant performances. Some are hailing Katrina’s act, while others cannot stop praising Vijay. However, most of them agreed that it is a typical Sriram Raghavan-style film.

TikTok has officially revealed a new type of placement for its ad partners. The short-form video app will begin putting sponsored content in its search results as it continues to challenge Google‘s core business.
The search ads will come with “sponsored” tags and will be automatically toggled on for TikTok’s brand partners, according to The Verge. These placements have been in the works for months, but their final form is similar to the one that was rumored back in March. At the time, TikTok said it would display search ads as thumbnails and would use “scenery, images, voice-to-text, captions, and keywords” to determine the sponsored posts and search results that should be paired together.
By monetizing its search traffic, TikTok is harnessing a phenomenon that drew attention last year. In July 2022, Google exec Prabhakar Raghavan noted that the ByteDance-owned app was eating into Google Search traffic, especially...

ControversyWhile the remastered version of the movie still drew crowds to theatres, some fans called out the creators for retaining a homophobic dialogue between the lead actor Kamal Haasan and the villain Daniel Balaji.
