Published by Webster

Karavali Trailer Review: Raj Shetty In Gripping Thriller On Kambala Race( Photo Credit – YouTube ) The makers of the upcoming Kannada film Karavali unveiled its trailer on Tuesday evening. The trailer offers a glimpse into the traditions and culture of coastal Karnataka, with Prajwal Devaraj and Raj B. Shetty playing pivotal roles. Written and directed by Gurudatha Ganiga, the three-minute-and-eighteen-second trailer places Kambala, the annual buffalo race, at the heart of its visual narrative. It begins by showcasing Prajwal Devaraj excelling in the traditional sport before the story jumps 30 years into the future, where Raj B. Shetty takes centre stage in the same competition. Alongside its striking visuals and action-packed sequences, the trailer hints at an emotionally charged conflict while keeping much of the story under wraps. Moreover, it teases what appears to be a revenge saga, with the men of the village deeply invested in the buffalo race and everything it represents. Karavali Follows Kantara Route?

Why Bollywood can never make an Obsession or Backrooms: Censor Board, star system kill innovation in India, say viewers

Why Bollywood can never make an Obsession or Backrooms: Censor Board, star system kill innovation in India, say viewers

Published by Parlour News

It is not often that the two top movies in the world on a given weekend are low-budget independent horror films from first-time filmmakers. But Obsession and Backrooms have brought focus back to small-budget films with fresh takes and voices. And even as these two micro-budget films beat a Star Wars title at the box office, the conversation in India is about whether such a thing can ever happen here. Would a small-budget film – of any genre – be able to go toe-to-toe with a Cop Universe film or beat a tentpole starring one of the Khans? The moviegoing audience in India is pessimistic, saying that a combination of factors prevents India’s Obsession + Backrooms moment. Obsession has earned 200 times its budget at the box office. Putting Obsession and Backrooms’ success in context Backrooms, made on a $10 million budget, grossed $117 million in its opening weekend, with $81 million from North America. This would be akin to a small film made on a ₹15-20 crore budget registering a ₹125-150 crore opening weekend …
