People are bored with preaching. Whenever something meaningful has to be told, it has to be told in a lighter and …

‘It’s so ridiculous’: Maanvi Gagroo on trolls fat-shaming Heer Sara co-star Patralekhaa | Bollywood News

Travel has been at the heart of the acting journey of Maanvi Gagroo. Whether it’s her The Viral Fever (TVF) show Tripling to parts of her popular Amazon Prime Video series Four More Shots Please!, Maanvi has always been on the move. Her new film, Kartik Chaudhry’s buddy road movie Heer Sara, is no different. Her fellow passenger this time is not her siblings or BFFs, but a strange bedfellow in Patralekhaa. While the film has been ready for one-and-a-half years now, it’ll finally see light of the day this Friday.

Why everybody loves a good chaos? From Priyadarshan and LJP’s movies to Pennum Porattum, unpacking the ‘ridiculous’ charm of chaotic comedy | Malayalam News

“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot,” goes a well-known quote often attributed to Charlie Chaplin. There’s a Malayalam saying that captures the same spirit and reflects a similar idea: “Aaraante ammakku bhraanthu pidichal kaanan nalla chelaa,” which can be roughly translated as, “It’s all amusing and entertaining as long as the tragedy is someone else’s.” Actor Rajesh Madhavan’s directorial debut, Pennum Porattum (Girl and the Fools Parade), which hit the screens recently, embodies this adage. But what makes the movie even more impactful is its use of absurdism and chaotic comedy to address significant topics, giving it far more weight than a mere dramatic treatment could. In a way, it can be said that Pennum Porattum attests to American historian Henry Adams’ words: “Chaos was the law of nature; order was the dream of man.” The absurd comedy argues that no matter how hard people try to maintain order and walk in a straight line like ants, they revert to chaos at the first opportunity, and that their …
