Dont stop the press. Its just Netflix coming out with another unoriginal rom-com, this time starring Brooke Shields and Miranda Cosgrove. 'Mother of the Bride', which comes from Mean Girls director Mark Waters, tries to offer a unique premise where first love is given a second chance. But the films characters, setting and narrative lack depth as it telegraphs its ending from the start. Mother of the Bride deviates significantly from the iconic 2004 film, 'Father of the Bride', as it centres on the wedding of Emma (Cosgrove) and RJ (Sean Teale) in the exotic locale of Phuket, Thailand. The tranquility surrounding Dr Lana Winslow (Shields) is shattered when she discovers that RJs father is her long-lost college flame Will (Benjamin Bratt), who abruptly disappeared from her life. As tensions mount and old wounds resurface, Lana and Will navigate their complicated past while attempting to maintain peace for their childrens sake. At first glance, 'Mother of the Bride' presents intriguing character dynamics. Lana is depicted as a dedicated research scientist, deeply immersed in her work. In stark contrast, her daughter Emma emerges as a social media influencer, leveraging her online presence to secure extravagant sponsorships for her wedding. Emma lets a luxury resort brand dictate every detail of the wedding, much to Lanas disapproval. However, these promising conflicts fizzle out with underwhelming resolutions, leaving the characters underdeveloped and the films potential unfulfilled. 'Mother of the Bride' doesnt explore its central romance either. While sparks fly and old feelings resurface, the interactions between Lana and Will lack depth. Yes, the eventual happily-ever-after ending is predictable, but the journey to get there feels rushed. Initially, when Emma gets to know the history between her mother and future father-in-law, she awkwardly jokes, If RJ is my half-brother, then the wedding is off. However, as the possibility of Lana and Will reuniting arises, Emmas eventual acceptance feels forced, and the film fails to capture the emotional range of such a situation. Similarly, Lana and Will quickly reconcile without adequately addressing the complexities of their past diminishing the films impact. While Shields and Rachel Harris (as Lanas sister Janice) shine in their roles, their talents are underutilised. Despite their presence, the film offers only limited scope for them to showcase their skills. While the film ends by delivering a message about second chances, the truth is, it itself doesnt deserve one.
Originally, there werent any plans for a second season, says Shriya Pilgaonkar about the newly released sequel of the web series, 'The Broken News.' The love we received in 2022 enabled us to do so, she adds. Two years ago, the Zee5 show saw Shriya step into the shoes of Radha Bhargava, a fearless and determined TV journalist who, by the end of the season, is falsely implicated as a terrorist and imprisoned. Based on the BBC One show Press, it is written by Sambit Mishra, and revolves around two competing news channels and explores the challenges faced by journalists. In season 2, Radha is out on bail, seeking retribution against the ratings-driven journalist and Josh TVs head Dipankar Sanyal, played by Jaideep Ahlawat. She has teamed up with Ameena Qureshi, a principled editor, who heads Awaaz Bharti, portrayed by the versatile Sonali Bendre Radha has completely flipped in season two; shes back with a vengeance. Shes not the same person she used to be. While earlier, there were certain principles, morals and ethics she had always worked with, prison has hardened her. Now she is angry and feels betrayed by the system, the actor says. Shriya adds that she found the process of revisiting Radha intriguing, particularly because of the choices she makes. She admits having to actively refrain herself from judging the character. It was quite a challenge for me to portray her in this season because its so far off from who I am as a person. But, I think thats the fun in acting, as I enjoy playing characters that are on the edge, that are on the cusp of transformation, she says adding, Learning and unlearning is a constant part of an actors evolution. The writing of season two is incredible, and we were encouraged to add layers to our characters. A poster of The Broken News Although Shriya has been in the industry for over a decade, she is still finding her footing. After a brief stint in theatre, she made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 'Fan' in 2016, to a noteworthy response. Her breakthrough role, however, came two years later with the popular series, 'Mirzapur', where she played a strong, independent woman amid a patriarchal mafia milieu of an Uttar Pradesh town. She also starred in the Netflix film, 'House Arrest' (2019) and the show, 'The Gone Game' (2020). The first season of 'The Broken News' is the second major project headlined by Shriya after the 2022 show 'Guilty Minds'. Making the latest show even more significant in her career is the fact that she shares screen space with the likes of Ahlawat and Bendre. Theres so much give and take when you work with such great actors. That energy and creating that dynamic with them is extremely exciting for me. Sonalis part was not easy. Theres so much respect between Ameena and Radha. Ameena has always been so protective of Radha, but at the same time, she understands that Radha has to fight her own battles, Shriya says, adding, Jaideeps stillness, on the other hand, is so powerful, and I have some fantastic scenes with him. The Radha-Dipankar scenes are actually my favourite. The exchange of energy is a lot of fun. Born to critically acclaimed actors Sachin and Supriya Pilgaonkar, Shriya has the right genes in place. As for displaying her acting prowess, she is getting there, albeit gradually. After all, slow and steady wins the race.
