Hamnet review: Jessie Buckley conjures up the performance of a lifetime in a mythical Shakespearean tragedy

Hamnet review: Jessie Buckley conjures up the performance of a lifetime in a mythical Shakespearean tragedy

Published by Parlour News

Hamnet Cast: Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Jacobi Jupe, Noah Jupe, Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn Director: Chloé Zhao Rating: ★★★★★ ‘To be, or not to be, that is the question’ is one of the most famous lines not only in Shakespeare’s canon but in all of literature. Chloé Zhao’s new film, Hamnet, nominated for a bunch of Oscars, interrogates a new pathway of looking into the same line, reimagining the figure of Shakespeare himself at the periphery. As played by Paul Mescal, he has just lost his only son and returns to the blank page with his bleeding heart. When that moment arrives, the words are raw and unadorned in their power, as if they are being constructed for the first time verbatim.

5 min readChennaiFeb 8, 2026 05:07 PM IST A teenager with scattered stubble is flexing his biceps in every frame. He wears a gruff expression. The eyes are cold, but the gaze is piercing. This was Gulbadin Naib in Tim Albone’s documentary ‘Out of the Ashes’, on the rise of Afghanistan cricket. Naib was then an aspiring cricketer, raised in the crammed refugee camps in Peshawar, where he and his family fought for basic needs, but where he also picked up the sport. By then, he had returned to his hometown Puli Alam, in the Logar province, where his father set up a fruit stall. Sixteen years later, through a career of grit and granite, the bicep-flex image defines him. It is so popular that when he completed his half-century against New Zealand, pulling his side out of a defensive hole, some in the stands rolled up their sleeves and swirled their biceps. In this instance, Naib did not. He raised both his arms towards the dressing room and waved at the applauding crowd. He …

Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi: Who will reach the mythical 1000-goal mark first? The stats have an answer

Published by Parlour News

The idea of 1,000 goals in a football career sounds like a fantasy. Yet, late in 2025, two players, the greatest of their generation, are close enough for the question to feel serious rather than silly. One is 40 and still scoring almost a goal a game in Saudi Arabia, while the other is 38, running MLS like a personal playground. Cristiano Ronaldo for Al Nassr and Lionel Messi for Inter Miami(REUTERS/AFP) So the real question here is not who is better. It is colder than that: with age, contracts, and recent output all factored in, does either actually have a practical route to 1,000 official goals? Where the numbers stand now Cristiano Ronaldo: 953 goals in 1,296 games Lionel Messi: 892 goals in 1,132 games That leaves: Ronaldo needing 47 more to reach 1,000 Messi needing 108 more to reach 1,000 Their contract horizons matter just as much as the totals. Ronaldo has extended with Al Nassr until June 2027, taking him to the age of 42. Messi, meanwhile, has committed to Inter Miami …

Bhog series review Cast: Anirban Bhattacharya, Parno Mittra, Rajatava Dutta Director: Parambrata Chattopadhyay Star rating: ★★★.5 Bhog, the new Hoichoi Original directed by actor Parambrata Chattopadhyay, tripled my heart rate and left my jaw on the floor in the best possible way. Even though I am aware of the original short story by Avik Sarkar, which serves as the source for this compact 6-episode series, it left me surprised and hooked from the get-go.
