‘Las Azules’ Season 2 blends fact and fiction for tale of corruption and growth

Published by Parlour News

By Hanna Rantala ‘Las Azules’ Season 2 blends fact and fiction for tale of corruption and growth LONDON, – Mexico’s first female police force returns to action in the second season of “Las Azules” , with a storyline woven around two massacres of student protesters that helped define an era of heavy-handed state repression. The Spanish-language Apple TV series centres on four women in pursuit of personal growth and social change in patriarchal Mexico of the 1970s. The sophomore season opens a day after a paramilitary force known as Los Halcones attacked a student protest in Mexico City in June 1971, killing or wounding dozens of demonstrators. When a young man is found dead in murky circumstances, the four “Azules” indirectly take the lead in an investigation that points to the police force and ties back to the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre, in which dozens of leftist student protesters were gunned down by the army shortly before Mexico hosted the Olympics. “The investigation is going to delve deeply into the subject, not just the institution of …

105:28. New Jersey. Nahuel Molina glanced over his shoulder. Nico Williams lingered a few yards behind. Should a cross arrive from the opposite flank, Argentina’s right-back assumed he would have it covered. Molina set himself to meet Pedro Porro’s delivery. Then came the chill. Williams was no longer behind him. He was in front. Molina had been beaten by the sprint. It is what Williams does. Second among Spaniards on top speed, third on number of sprints per 90 minutes. He scores, creates, dribbles and dances. Mostly, though, he runs. He runs because two others once walked.

Nagabandham Movie Review Quicker (Photo Credit: Instagram) When one says the word Nagamani, no one finds it strange. Everyone knows what it is, thanks to several shows on Indian television. Nagabandham starts with the mention of Nagamani and how one can open the Naga Dwar! The film has not wasted any time and establishes the premise in the first ten minutes. The best part of South Indian films is that they take culture, mythology, and other aspects of our roots very seriously! The film has set its premise around an ancient book that might resolve people’s problems eventually—how, when, and why will form the premise of the film. The book forms the film’s main plot—the fight between good and bad people. The visuals and the film’s grandeur are beautiful. The shots are so terrific that you will be in awe. The story starts in Tulasavanam, and, as in every era and every generation, there are both good and bad people. The background music supports the premise of the film loudly and beautifully! Right from costumes …

Supergirl: Krypto’s charm powers an otherwise familiar superhero tale starring Milly Alcock, Jason Momoa

Published by Parlour News

At first glance, Supergirl has a surprising resemblance to John Wick, the billion-dollar Keanu Reeves franchise. That saga began with the killing of John’s beloved beagle. Here, Superman’s cousin sets off to save her dog, Krypto. The emotional hook is in place from the outset. But does the film build on that and become an engaging superhero adventure? Let’s find out. A still from Supergirl. The story revolves around Supergirl (Milly Alcock), who has all but given up on life and prefers to stay perpetually drunk. Her only source of comfort is Krypto, her loyal dog. One day, she crosses paths with Ruthye Marye Knoll, whose entire family has been slaughtered by Krem of the Yellow Hills. Determined to avenge them, Ruthye seeks Supergirl’s help. During their encounter, Krem steals Supergirl’s spaceship and shoots Krypto with a poisonous dart while he tries to stop him. Supergirl now has just three days to get the antidote from Krem himself. What follows is a race against time fueled by revenge and hope. At a crisp one hour …

3 min readNew DelhiJun 25, 2026 12:29 PM IST Mirzapur The Movie teaser: After three successful seasons on Amazon Prime Video, Mirzapur is all set for its first feature film, and the teaser for the movie dropped online on Thursday, June 25. While the new teaser does not disclose the plot of the film but it does declare, it firmly puts it in the same sandbox of violence, blood and gang rivalries. We see visuals of Pankaj Tripathi’s Kaleen bhaiya ruling Mirzapur. Ali Fazal had told SCREEN that the film is set before the show, which explains the return of actors Rajesh Tailang, Sheeba Chadha and Divyenndu. Jitendra Kumar steps into Vikrant Massey’s shoes here as he plays Bablu. Divyenndu’s Munna, a fan favourite character who died in the show, returns to wreak havoc and drop some whistle-worthy dialogues. Ravi Kishan has also joined the franchise with this film and gets two scenes in the teaser. Mirzapur The Movie is all about complicated relationship between fathers and sons — whether it’s Kaleen bhaiya’s disappointment with …

Dutch hero Brian Brobbey, who encountered a gangster and lived to tell the tale | Football News

Published by Webster

Brian Brobbey, the Dutch striker whose brace sank the Swedes 5-1, was at the right place at the right time. Yet, four years ago, he was at the wrong place at the right time, a happenstance that would have cost not only his career, but his life when he met a school friend who he did not know was a gangster. After the saga was settled, he told the Dutch press: “I have unknowingly brought a lot of shame to my club (then Ajax) and country. One day I will make you proud,” he said. He fulfilled the promise in Houston on Saturday with two classic fox-in-the-box strikes. A flick and a deflection, goals that would not be immortalised, but invaluable for a side clanking to find its rhythm. The two goals captured the virtues of Brobbey, an Ajax alumni with mid-table Premier League side Sunderland, but with covetous glances lurking towards him. He is a muscular barge-into-the box striker, but with dexterous feet. He wins the battle of the muscle with his markers, just …

In Sena split, a tiger’s tale and some canine digs: How Shinde and Uddhav’s parties are feuding with biting metaphors

In Sena split, a tiger’s tale and some canine digs: How Shinde and Uddhav’s parties are feuding with biting metaphors

Published by Parlour News

When Maharashtra deputy CM Eknath Shinde stood before his Shiv Sena’s workers on the original party’s 60th foundation day and called himself a tiger, he was drawing on a deep strand of imagery in Maharashtra politics. Bal Thackeray, himself a cartoonist, was often portrayed as a roaring tiger — the cherished logo of the Shiv Sena he founded. This was Shinde’s latest claim to Bal Thackeray’s iron-fist legacy. Eknath Shinde has called himself a tiger, while Team Uddhav’s Sanjay Raut has used dogs and disloyalty as metaphors for the rebellion within the party. (Photos: HT File, PTI) And it came in the middle of his not-so-veiled bid to further split the Sena of his mentor’s son Uddhav Thackeray, four years after he took away most of the party’s MLAs, the name and symbol. The roaring tiger was synonymous with the undivided party from its earliest years, as it grew from a social outfit seeking jobs for the Marathi manoos (common person) in the 1960s and ’70s into a regional political force from the 1980s onwards. …

Chinna Chinna Aasai review: Indrans, Madhoo lead an underwhelming tale of self-discovery | Movie-review News

Published by Parlour News

Chinna Chinna Aasai Movie Review: There’s something oddly fascinating about sitting down to watch a two-hander, particularly since it pretty much has to defy the “show, don’t tell” commandment of visual storytelling while also avoiding boring the audience with the abundance of dialogues. While it’s easy for creators to make a film featuring nonstop back-and-forth exchanges between the central characters, the real challenge in crafting a two-hander lies in sidestepping that pitfall and making an artistically impressive work instead. Debutant director Varsha Vasudev’s Chinna Chinna Aasai revolves around two middle-aged people, Madhavan (Indrans) and Leela (Madhoo Shah), whose lives take a turn when fate brings them together in Varanasi (Kashi), Uttar Pradesh. While on one of his regular visits to Varanasi, Madhavan, a Malayali, meets Leela, who hails from Thanjavur in Tamil Nadu. After getting separated from her tour group and having her belongings stolen, Leela is petrified and unsure of what to do next. When Madhavan offers to help, she is initially suspicious and hesitant. But with no other option, she goes along with …
