Mohanlal had a cameo appearance in Mammootty’s film Kadal Kadannu Oru Maathukutty (2013). However, their last film together was Twenty:20, which released in 2008.
Despite Mohanlal’s strong track record this year, with ‘L2: Empuraan’ and ‘Thudaram’ crossing Rs 200 crore, ‘Hridayapoorvam’ fell short against ‘Lokah Chapter 1: Chandra’.
Thudarum has heavily leaned in on the nostalgia of the Mohanlal-Shobana pairing. One of the film’s posters features an AI-generated version of their younger selves.
Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha's K Ganesh calls for investigation into filmmaker’s 'foreign connections' claiming Prithviraj’s films have followed an 'entirely anti-national' pattern.
The movie shows a Muslim-majority village being attacked by a Hindu mob, and a pregnant Muslim woman being raped by a Hindu man. This seems to be a reference to the Bilkis Bano case.
The report is just a start. It remains to be seen if the film industry can do the painful work of starting from scratch, and rebuilding itself to be equitable and safe for all workers.
Islamabad-based think-tank PICSS's new report says Pakistan saw 'pronounced escalation' in violence last year, with 3,413 conflict-related deaths compared to 1,950 in previous year.
Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
