Why The Great Grand Superhero Could Be This Summer’s Most Refreshing Theatrical Surprise

Why The Great Grand Superhero Could Be This Summer’s Most Refreshing Theatrical Surprise

Published by Parlour News

The Great Grand Superhero (Photo Credit: YouTube) Jackie Shroff’s movie, The Great Grand Superhero, arrives at a time when cinema is dominated by action spectacles, dark thrillers, and franchise-driven narratives. The upcoming film promises a different, fresh energy that leans into innocence, fantasy, nostalgia, and heartfelt family storytelling. Backed by Zee Studios and Amdavad Films, the Jackie Shroff starrer doesn’t just position itself as another superhero movie. Instead, it attempts to revive something Bollywood has slowly moved away from over the years, the charm of wholesome big-screen entertainers that children, parents, and grandparents can enjoy together under one roof. Here’s why The Great Grand Superhero feels like one of the most interesting theatrical bets of the summer: 1. Bollywood’s First “Grandfather Superhero” Is Already a Clutter-Breaking Idea While superhero cinema globally has largely focused on young saviors and larger-than-life warriors, The Great Grand Superhero flips the idea completely by placing a grandfather at the center of its universe. Jackie Shroff’s avatar instantly gives the film emotional novelty. It moves away from conventional superhero tropes and …

Healthy Mango Lassi Recipe: A Delicious, Low-Sugar Version of the Classic Indian Drink for a Refreshing Treat

Healthy Mango Lassi Recipe: A Delicious, Low-Sugar Version of the Classic Indian Drink for a Refreshing Treat

Published by Parlour News

Summer afternoons feel much easier with a cold glass waiting in the fridge, especially one made with ripe mango and creamy curd. Healthy mango lassi brings together the sweet taste of mango with the smooth texture of yogurt, creating a drink that feels fresh and cooling on hot days. Healthy Mango Lassi Recipe (Freepik) Mango is naturally rich in vitamin C, vitamin A, and antioxidants. One ripe mango can add plenty of fruity flavour without needing extra sugar. Alphonso, Kesar, and Banganapalli mangoes work especially well because they are naturally sweeter and blend easily into a smooth drink. This low-sugar mango drink uses healthy ingredients only. Dates, honey, or a small amount of jaggery can be used instead of white sugar if extra sweetness is needed. Greek yoghurt or fresh curd adds protein and may support digestion because it contains natural probiotics. That makes healthy mango lassi a better choice than many packaged drinks or desserts. Cardamom adds a light aroma, and a few soaked chia seeds can make the lassi more nourishing. Chia seeds …

Refreshing and brave: Kritika Kamra on portrayal of Muslim community in ‘The Great Shamsuddin Family’

Published by Parlour News

Mumbai, For actor Kritika Kamra, it was refreshing to see Muslims being portrayed as normal people in “The Great Shamsuddin Family” and without the conventional dramatisation that’s often associated with minority narratives in cinema. Refreshing and brave: Kritika Kamra on portrayal of Muslim community in ‘The Great Shamsuddin Family’ Kamra plays the central character of Bani Ahmed in the comedy-drama, written and directed by Anusha Rizvi of “Peepli Live” fame. The film follows Bani, who faces her most important deadline while her house erupts in family chaos, forcing her to juggle a 12-hour writing sprint with an unfolding domestic emergency. “It was so refreshing to just read a story about a normal family. It’s one of those things that is very brave in many ways. It is about an Indian Muslim family, with so many women. It is so different from what you generally see in cinema, but it doesn’t do that by making any loud points,” Kamra told PTI in an interview. “All of the characters are a little bit messy, and have their …

Refreshing to see films being made on father-daughter bond: Abhishek Bachchan on ‘Be Happy’ | Bollywood

Published by Parlour News

Mumbai, Actor Abhishek Bachchan says he has consciously chosen films like his last release “I Want to Talk” and his upcoming film “Be Happy” as they depict the father-daughter relationship, an aspect he feels hasn’t been widely explored in Hindi cinema. Refreshing to see films being made on father-daughter bond: Abhishek Bachchan on ‘Be Happy’ In both, “I Want to Talk”, directed by Shoojit Sircar, and choreographer-turned-filmmaker Remo D’Souza’s “Be Happy”, Bachchan plays the role of a single father. “I don’t remember too many films that are made on the father-daughter dynamic. And what happens in a family’s life if the mother isn’t there? In this film, the father-in-law, son-in-law, and granddaughter cope with that situation. The void left by the mother figure not being in somebody’s life is huge. “But to see a dynamic in which the father has to step up and try and fill that void, I thought that was interesting. We don’t have too many films that speak about that, so that was very refreshing and nice. We also realise nobody …

View from Bangladesh: ‘A refreshing start’ in Bangladesh with Muhammad Yunus

Published by Parlour News

One month sans Hasina This Friday, September 5, marked one month since former prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s ouster on August 5. Hasina fled to India after protestors stormed her residence in Dhaka and forced her out. Chief advisor to the interim government Muhammad Yunus addressed the nation, once again expressing his anguish at the violence and brutality that civilians endured — and hope for a better Bangladesh. Dhaka Tribune (September 7) commended Yunus for his role since taking over as he “truly captured the imagination of the Bangladeshi people”. He spoke of “the plight of the martyred” and “exemplified his connection with the people of the country — a stark departure from the leaders of the Awami League who had all but disconnected from the people they had sworn to serve.” The Daily Star editor Mahfuz Anam in his column (September 6) agrees with this sentiment and relays that the meeting of the media with Yunus was “a refreshing start” after a decade and a half of being barred from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) …
