Bhuvan Bam (Photo: Instagram) “The dream I saw in my Malviya Nagar home in Delhi, that becoming a reality is a personal milestone. We have done a schedule of over a month, and that’s when I realised that the game of perception for the industry is only from the outside. Internally, everyone is there to prove themselves and make a great film. When you become a part of the system, you realise things are not the same as they are portrayed,” he says. Bhuvan adds that he is already feeling the excitement to see himself on …

While her retirement has been on the cards for a while now, badminton star Tai Tzu-ying confirmed on Friday that she is officially bidding farewell to the sport where she delighted fans around her world with her artistry. Considered one of the most graceful players to have played the sport, the former world No 1 in women’s singles was known for her deception – the ability to change the direction of the shuttle at the last possible moment with a flick of her racket. “A beautiful chapter has come to an end. Thank you, badminton, for everything you have given me,” she wrote on Instagram. “Last year was the toughest time of my career. Before the Olympics, I wasn’t sure if my injured foot would allow me to compete, but I gave it my all. Others didn’t give up on me, so I couldn’t give up on myself. Eventually, my injuries forced me to leave the court. I couldn’t end my career the way I had hoped, and it took me a while to come …

Even as Akshay Kumar’s Kesari Chapter 2 shows an imagined past, it ends up confronting the present | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

If anything has come close to capturing the horrors of Jallianwala Bagh, it is the final thirty minutes of Sardar Udham. Shoojit Sircar’s version is intimate, visceral, unlike anything Hindi cinema has attempted before. Mind you, it is not a recreation but a reckoning. The violence isn’t staged; it unfolds. You’re not watching from a distance; you’re placed within the frame of 13 April 1919, as if history bleeds into the present. There’s Vicky Kaushal, who delivers one of the most physical performances in recent memory, and DOP Avik Mukhopadhyay’s camera, which too seems to be grieving. But at the heart of it all is Sircar’s gaze — almost journalistic in how it observes, almost elegiac in how it refuses to look away. Now, when you watch Karan Singh Tyagi’s rendition in the newly released Kesari: Chapter 2, the depiction feels comparatively dated. The problem isn’t the mainstream gaze; it’s the tiredness of the form. There’s a clear effort, like Sircar, to personalise the moment through the eyes of a young boy, but the impact …
