The awards season is going ahead with full steam, with many already reaping the benefits of their incredible performances. However, there are some films which failed to hit the mark by a mile this past year, and to honour them, the Razzie Awards are coming on March 14. The nominations are led by several notable names, including Tron Ares, Snow White, The Alto Knights and The Electric State. The Electric State’s performance will cut the deepest for Netflix, as it turned out to be their most expensive film, with hardly anything to show for it. The Electric State, directed by The Russo Brothers, had an incredibly impressive cast. It included Millie Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt, Woody Harrelson, Stanley Tucci, Holly Hunter, Giancarlo Esposito and Jason Alexander. However, the film opened to some very poor reviews. Its Rotten Tomatoes score was 14%, and its IMDb rating was 5.9/10. Critics called it “dull” and “lifeless”, and no one could believe that the minds behind Avengers Endgame failed so spectacularly. The Golden Raspberry Awards or Razzie Awards are …

Actor Shakti Kapoor, who played villainous roles for much of his career, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s in Hindi cinema, recently reflected on a period when he attempted to move beyond typecasting and take on leading roles. At the time in Bollywood, once an actor became identified with a particular kind of role, it was almost impossible to break free from that image.

He was so handsome. I have never seen this sort of male beauty ever. I was sure he would become a hero. He was the one who …
