'Heeramandi - The Diamond Bazaar' drama series review: All that glitters...

HYDERABAD: A Sanjay Leela Bhansali fantasia for OTT is a cause for concern. Before I got started with it, I wanted to get down and manually stretch the corners of my 30-inch TV. I even contemplated what would be worse, to watch it on a laptop or a tablet? Then, images of office-goers, on a local train ride back home, relishing the series on a smartphone flashed in my head. Oh, what a cardinal sin. Calling Bhansalis debut web series grand would be a cop-out. As per an Architectural Digest report,

Social media plays a huge role in the life of an actor: Revathi Pillai

HYDERABAD : Nostalgia can bring some short-lived joy. It can be induced by certain sights, like the street that leads to your school or the familiar bells of an ice cream seller. It is also invoked through specific instances, as in Prime Videos Dil Dosti Dilemma, where the protagonist Asmara, played by Anushka Sen, visits her grandparents for summer vacations. There is an element of sweetness and old-school comfort attached to it. Even for Sen, her holidays as a teenager were spent with her gran

'Late Night with the Devil' movie review: A scathing satire on television disguised as a horror film

Fear is a hot commodity this summer, with many horror films hitting theatres in quick succession. But 'Late Night with the Devi is different from conventional horror cinema in that it uses the genre to enlighten the audience with a scathing commentary on the television industry rather than merely induce fear among them with jump scares. The film, from directors Colin Cairnes and Cameron Cairnes, explores the dark underbelly of television business in the guise of a horror feature. The film stars

'Challengers' movie review: This intense, intimate tennis drama almost serves up an ace

Silence. Absolute Silence. Three sweat drops trickle down from Josh OConnors serious face, suggestive of the moment that decides it all. Cut to the title credits. This is how Challengers begins, and before we even get a hint at the story, were already biting our nails to know who will win. But there is more to Challengers than just tennis. With Challengers, Luca Guadagnino takes the conventional love triangle and stuffs it with a cartload of relationship dynamics and lovemaking to give an intens

'Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire' movie review: An underwhelming nostalgia bait

CHENNAI : It is often said that the primary objective of franchise films is to evoke nostalgia in the viewers. These films serve as a reminder of the time when we first met the characters, a time when we had fun and didnt have the adult perspective to over analyse the older filmmaking style. An ideal scenario in such cases, is a sequel that takes a new approach while still retaining the warmth of the original film, thereby providing you with a refreshing yet nostalgic experience. However, Ghostb
