‘Just waiting for evidence’: Ram Madhvani, former NASA scientist unpack science of alien contact in Spielberg’s films

Published by Parlour News

What happens when an acclaimed filmmaker and a space engineer get together to talk about extraterrestrial life, cinema, and their shared admiration for Steven Spielberg? The rather niche question was answered by the Society of Intellectuals this past week as they organised a panel discussion for Spielberg’s new film Disclosure Day, headlined by National Award-winning filmmaker Ram Madhvani and former NASA engineer Nimisha Mittal. Nimisha Mittal and Ram Madhvani at the event in Mumbai. The discussion, cheesily subtitled ‘All will be disclosed’, was held in a cosy Mumbai bar, and ranged from the search for extraterrestrial life by scientists to how Spielberg has depicted that in his work spanning five decades. ‘We are just waiting for evidence’ Nimisha Mittal worked at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory for over 15 years, including the Mars rovers and the Cassini Space Orbiter. She spoke about how seriously the scientific community views the search for alien life. “You don’t always hear about it, but everyone in the scientific community is always hopeful of a connection. We are just waiting for …

The Mandalorian And Grogu Worldwide Box Office (Photo Credit: Instagram) Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, the latest film in the long-running Star Wars franchise and a follow-up to the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, hit the big screen on May 22, 2026, and will complete four weeks in theaters this Friday. Starring The Last of Us actor Pedro Pascal in the lead role, the sci-fi action-adventure film currently holds a 62% critics’ score and a significantly higher 87% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. At the worldwide box office, the Jon Favreau-directed feature has grossed $315.8 million so far. As of now, The Mandalorian and Grogu is around $166.7 million away from matching the original Star Wars trilogy’s 1983 film Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi’s $482.5 million haul. Since the latest installment carries a $165 million budget, it would need to earn around an estimated $412.5 million to break even at the box office, using the 2.5x multiplier rule. This means it still needs to add another $96.7 million to its worldwide …

Disclosure Day review: Steven Spielberg’s tribute to his own greatest hits is indulgent, but with a climax for the ages

Disclosure Day review: Steven Spielberg’s tribute to his own greatest hits is indulgent, but with a climax for the ages

Disclosure Day Director: Steven Spielberg Cast: Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, and Wyatt Russell Rating: ★★★⯪ There is a long-running internet joke that when ranking Spielberg films, one can describe a title as ‘seminal, industry-changing’ and then rank it at number 9 in his filmography. Such is the standard of the master filmmaker’s work that even films that one expects nothing but the best from him. Disclosure Day sees him return to the genre most personal to him – science fiction, specifically the search for extraterrestrial life. Naturally, the expectations are high. Spielberg fumbles, falters, but eventually finds his footing. The film is both a thrill-a-minute ride and a philosophical question about who is more dangerous to Earth – aliens or humans themselves. And Spielberg uses all his mastery to mask the faults and, eventually, deliver a climax sequence for the ages. Disclosure Day review: Emily Blunt in a still from the film. What is Disclosure Day? For over 50 years, Steven Spielberg’s films have asked the question: ‘Are we …

Steven Spielberg’s Alien Visions | Entertainment News

Published by Parlour News

Like many great directors, Steven Spielberg has something of an allergy to sequels. Among his 35 features, the moviemaker has made a lone direct sequel—1997’s “The Lost World: Jurassic Park”—and directed multiple films in just a single franchise, the Indiana Jones series, which, after “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (1981), begat three Spielberg-directed entries. An image from ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind.’ In modern Hollywood, Mr. Spielberg’s reticence counts as remarkable restraint, but it disguises the fact that, for nearly 50 years, he has been tending to what is a series of films in all but name. Call it his extraterrestrial trio: Starting with “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977) and continuing with “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” (1982) and “War of the Worlds” (2005), Mr. Spielberg has pursued his abiding interest in the potential consequences of civilization’s contact with life from other worlds. Together, the films form a rich, sometimes contradictory but clearly distinct body of work within Mr. Spielberg’s canon. The trio will become a quartet with the release of his latest alien …
