Toronto Film Festival Midnight Madness world premiere “Kill” is a confluence of three stellar Indian talents.
Producer Guneet Monga Kapoor is an Oscar winner for “The Elephant Whisperers”; fellow producer and filmmaker Karan Johar is a Bollywood A-lister who has just delivered massive hit “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani”; and director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat is known for Netflix film “Long Live Brij Mohan” and Prime Video series “Rasbhari.”
“Kill” belongs to the extreme action genre, a rarity in Indian cinema. Set entirely on an express train to New Delhi, the film follows Indian army commandos Amrit and Viresh, who are on a mission to rescue Amrit’s girlfriend Tulika. She is betrothed to someone else against her wishes. Matters go awry when more than 40 bandits (known as dacoits in India) belonging to an extended family board the train with a view to looting and kidnapping. Amrit and Viresh try...

Actor Sunny Hinduja, seen as Sandeep bhaiya in the show "Aspirants", feels along with achieving dreams and goals, one should know how to handle success.
"We should never let success and fame overwhelm us so much that we lose touch with our root. When I say rooted, I mean staying connected with people you have grown up with, who stood by you when you were starting from zero because only they do not judge you by your success or failure," Sunny said.
"I know and see people around who became much-talked-about after the release of a show or two, but they are not the same persons anymore. We should dream big and work hard to achieve that, but we should also know how to handle success without being overwhelmed by it," he said.
The actor, who has appeared in shows like "Chacha Vidhayak Hain Humare", "Jamun", "Rasbhari" and "Bhaukaal" among others,...

Opinion'Cuties', a French drama that revolves around a group of pre-teen girls, ran into controversy recently as it was accused of sexualising them. Geetika MantriWhen I was around six or seven years old, I remember wearing a long skirt and top, looking in the mirror and trying to dance to ‘Chamma chamma’ from the 1998 Bollywood film China Gate. Starring Urmila Matondkar, 'Chamma chamma' is by all means an ‘item song’. While trying to copy Urmila’s moves, could my dancing be perceived as suggestive? Sure. But was I trying to be sexy or feeling sexual? No. Cuties, a French drama that revolves around four pre-teen girls, ran into controversy recently as it was accused of sexualising young girls. The film, the first feature by Maïmouna Doucouré, released on Netflix recently, and stars Fathia Youssouf, Médina El Aidi-Azouni, Esther Gohourou, Ilanah Cami-Goursolas and Maïmouna Gueye. Fathia plays 11-year-old Amy, a Muslim Senegalese immigrant with orthodox upbringing,...

OpinionWhile ‘Rasbhari’ talks about teen sexuality in a refreshing way, it has some questionable sequences too.Geetika MantriWarning: Major spoilers ahead Actor Swara Bhasker’s web series Rasbhari, directed by Nikhil Bhat and written by Shantanu Srivastava, released on June 24 on Amazon Prime Video, and has been the subject of debate on social media ever since. Although the series received several rave reviews which called it feminist and progressive, it has also been downvoted on IMDb to a sad 2.4. Some of the negative responses to the series can no doubt be attributed to trolls who routinely target Swara for her political views, but there have also been others who have taken exception to the content of the show for its depiction of a woman's sexuality. Having watched Rasbhari though, I found that the series is indeed problematic but not in the way that those threatened by women's sexuality think it is.
