Past redemption

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.

Horrifying to watch myself on screen says Hugh Grant

What made you want to take on the role of 'Tony the Tiger' (the mascot of Frosted Flakes), or at least the man behind it, in Unfrosted? I thought the script was really funny. And of course, its Jerry Seinfeld and a whole host of top American comedians. I was happy to be asked. Also, the older I get, the more I enjoy playing twisted, angry little men, and this felt like a good opportunity to do that. How did you become part of what is otherwise a very American cast? I cant really remember. The offer came in and I thought the character of Thurl Ravenscroftthis experienced actor behind 'Tony the Tiger'sounded fun. I spoke to Jerry about it on Zoom, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldnt talk him out of casting me. I sent him a video of what I planned to do and he still wanted me (laughs). How would you describe Thurl Ravenscroft? My take on Ravenscroft was that he seemed like a dark, distant cousin of Phoenix Buchanan, the actor I played in 'Paddington 2'. But Ravenscroft is not a made-up character, of course. He really was a distinguished theatre actor who somehow found his career reduced to playing 'Tony the Tiger' for Kelloggs breakfast cereal ads. He was slightly uncomfortable about it, and that was the inspiration behind my approach to playing him which, I have to say, was an awful lot of fun. What about the character did you find enjoyable? It was really just his pure, poisonous, disappointed rage at where he has ended up in life. I enjoy that kind of shocking vanity and narcissism in a character. Its something to do with me getting older, I think. But, we all love a baddie. And, not just actors; audiences too. So would you rather play a baddie than be the good guy? I never used to think I would, but now I do. Being a baddie suits me better, I think. Its closer to me. Also, the layers of duplicity that come with playing such roles suits acting because it is all about covering things up. You have also described this as the freak show phase of your career. What do you mean by that? Just that. Im at the freak-show stage where just about every role Im offered is some kind of a weirdo, freak and pervert. And now, animals too. I have just been offered the part of an orangutan! What was it like working with Jerry Seinfeld? Great. Theres this thing about us hating each other, but we actually got along really well except for one teeny-tiny row over one scene. Were quite similar. Jerry even does a pretty good impression of me, which is flattering. But, I started out doing sketch-show comedy, so I have always had more in common with comedians than actors. Would you say there is any difference between American and British humour? Very little, in my experience. Do you ever improvise your great one-liners? Sometimes, but theyre mostly in the script. Sometimes I make something up and it works; sometimes it doesnt. What would you be doing now if you hadnt made it as an actor? Before acting, I was in advertising. I wrote and produced radio commercials and was quite happy doing that. So, maybe I would still be doing it if this hadnt worked out. I wrote some good ads for Mighty White bread, Brylcreem etc. Everyone is excited about the return of Bridget Jones. What can you tell us? Its a good script. Its the best of the four films so far. Its based on the Helen Fielding book, which was inspired by her having to bring up two children by herself after her husband died. Its going to be funny and moving. Did you ever think you would be reunited with Renee Zellweger for another Bridget Jones film all these years later? No, never. Its all a pleasant surprise, to both of us. I thought we were done but then, you never know. Do you? Do you ever watch any of your old movies? No. Watching myself on screen is horrifying. But, if I had to choose, it would be Music and Lyrics. But generally, I wouldnt watch it. It gives me no pleasure whatsoever to watch myself.

Breaking good

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.

In Cannes, Francis Ford Coppola talks Trump, self-financing Megalopolis and why he has no regrets

CANNES, France: Much attention has been paid to the $120 million of his own fortune that Francis Ford Coppola put up to make the futuristic epic Megalopolis, but the director himself isnt much concerned. I dont care. I never cared, Coppola said of money, speaking to reporters at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday. The money doesnt matter. What is important are the friends. Because friends will never let you down. Money may evaporate. Coppola sold a piece of his winery business to finance Megalopolis, a passion project the filmmaker has been pondering for decades. Regardless of the outcome the film is seeking a North American distributor hes going to be fine, financially, Coppola said. My children, without exception, they have wonderful careers without a fortune, he said. They dont need a fortune. Coppola faced questions from the press the day after premiering the hotly anticipated Megalopolis, starring Adam Driver as an architect named Cesar Catalina who is trying to build a utopia in a future New York City. Critics called the film everything from a disaster to an admirably ambitious gambit that only Coppola could make. Coppola fashions his film as a Roman Empire-esque tale. The closer he got to making it, he said, the more relevant it seemed to him. Whats happening in America, in our republic, our democracy, is exactly how Rome lost their republic thousands of years ago, said Coppola, who lamented the resurgence of the neo-right, even fascist tradition. Our politics has taken us to the point where we might lose our republic, he continued. Its not the people who have become politicians who are going to be the answer. I feel its the artists of America. The role of the artist is to illuminate contemporary life, to shine a light, to be the headlights. Drawing laughs, Coppola then turned to one his cast members, Jon Voight, noting he had different political opinions. Voight responded: How did you find that out? Coppola has been shopping Megalopolis for potential buyers. When asked whether a streaming company might be a home for the movie, he suggested streaming was nothing new. Streaming is what we used to call home video, Coppola said. He voiced some misgivings about modern Hollywood. The job is not so much to make good movies, the job is to make sure that they pay their debt obligations, he said of studios. It might be that the studios that we knew for so long some wonderful ones are not going to be here in the future. But Coppolas tone was otherwise overwhelmingly positive. The 85-year-old filmmaker exalted the family members who came with him and implored reporters to ask more questions of his cast, including Laurence Fishburne, Giancarlo Esposito and Aubrey Plaza. (Shia LaBeouf attended Thursdays premiere but did not join the press conference.) Theres so many people when they die, they say, I wish I had done this, I wish I done that, said Coppola. When I die, Im going to say, I got to do this. I got to see my daughter (Sofia Coppola) win an Oscar and I got to make wine and I got to make every movie I wanted to make. Im going to be so busy thinking about all the things I got to do that when I die I wont notice it.

Sahara Group on Scam 2010 - The Subrata Roy Saga': An abusive and grossly condemnable act

NEW DELHI: Sahara Group has criticised the upcoming series titled Scam 2010 - The Subrata Roy Saga, calling it an abusive and grossly condemnable act and said it is contemplating suitable legal action against the makers. The series, dubbed as a dust-to-diamonds story of maverick businessman Subrata Roy, is the third chapter of filmmaker Hansal Mehta's smash hit series Scam for streaming service Sony LIV after Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story and Scam 2003: The Telgi Story. The latest instalment was announced by the director on Thursday. In a statement, Sahara India said the aggrieved members are seeking advice to take suitable legal action against the producer, director and all those who are involved in the making of the show. An abusive and grossly condemnable act has been demonstrated by the makers of 'Scam' to achieve cheap and wide publicity, by announcing to unveil, 'Scam 2010: The Subrata Roy Saga'. Sahara India Pariwar condemns such acts of all the individuals and parties involved and shall resist to their offending behaviour. In this regard, the aggrieved members are seeking advice to take suitable legal action against the producer, director and all those who are involved in making the illegal portrayal, the statement said. The group said the dispute between SEBI and Sahara is still pending before the Supreme Court and any attempt to influence the proceedings of the said case shall attract contempt of Court, besides such acts amount to criminality. It claimed Sahara India Pariwar has never been involved in any chit fund activity and even the Sahara-SEBI issue was a dispute on the Sebi's jurisdiction on certain bonds issued by the group. Based on the book Sahara: The Untold Story by Tamal Bandyopadhyay, the series will be produced by Applause Entertainment, in association with Studio Next and helmed by Mehta. According to the makers, Scam 2010 will delve into the depths of one of India's most storied financial scandals. In the early 2000s, Roy was caught in a whirlwind of accusations ranging from chit-fund manipulations to fake investors, ultimately leading to his arrest in 2014. With approximately Rs 25,000 crore still lying unclaimed with government authorities, the repercussions of the scam continue to reverberate even today, they said in a press release. In its statement, the group said in the garb of a right of free speech and expression, no one can be allowed to undermine the goodwill and reputation of a person, who is not available to defend himself. The use of the word 'scam' in the title of the so-called web-series and linking it to Sahara seems prima-facie defamatory, and tends to lower down the image and reputation of Saharasri Ji and Sahara India Pariwar, it read. Roy, who passed away in November 2023 at the age of 75 after battling a prolonged illness, faced multiple regulatory and legal battles in connection with his group firms that were accused of circumventing regulations with Ponzi schemes, allegations his group always denied. In 2011, capital markets regulator Sebi ordered two Sahara Group firms -- Sahara India Real Estate Corporation Ltd (SIREL) and Sahara Housing Investment Corporation Ltd (SHICL) -- to refund the money raised from nearly 3 crore investors through certain bonds known as Optionally Fully Convertible Bonds (OFCDs). This order came after the regulator ruled that the funds were raised by the two firms in violation of its rules and regulations. After a long process of appeals and cross-appeals, the Supreme Court on August 31, 2012 upheld Sebi's directions asking the two firms to refund the money collected from investors with 15 per cent interest. Sahara was eventually asked to deposit an estimated Rs 24,000 crore with Sebi for further refund to investors, though the group has been maintaining that it had already refunded more than 95 per cent of investors directly.
