Prithviraj Sukumaran made his Bollywood debut with the movie Aiyyaa, which also stars Rani Mukerji. After that, the actor has rarely worked in Hindi movies. The South star will soon be seen in a big Bollywood film this year – Bade Miyan Chote Miya. The action thriller also stars Akshay Kumar, Tiger Shroff, Alaya F and Manushi Chhillar.
In an interview, Prithviraj Sukumaran was asked why he has starred only in a handful of Hindi movies. The actor has done some incredible work in several Malayalam movies. So why didn’t he keep the same balance with Hindi movies? Prithviraj gave an interesting answer.

Shaktimaan Reboot: Ranveer Singh To Start The 350 Crore Project ( Photo Credit – Instagram; IMDb )
Ranveer Singh in and as Shaktimaan. That’s it, that is the news for the day. Last year, the superstar received a lot of love and admiration for his portrayal of Rocky Randhawa in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. He was said to be the long-lost sibling of Poo from K3G, and the audiences loved his vibe in the film. It was rumored that post-Karan Johar’s rom-com Ranveer and Alia Bhatt will move together to Sanjay Leela Bhansali‘s Baiju Bawra.
However, everyone was shocked when Sanjay Leela Bhansali announced his next film that starred Alia Bhatt definitely but sans Ranveer. In fact, it stars two actors – Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal and is titled Love & War. So that means the Baiju Bawra remake has been indefinitely postponed!

Anweshippin Kandethum Movie Review Rating:
Star Cast: Tovino Thomas, Siddique, Arthana Binu, Baburaj, Pramod Velliyanad, Vineeth Thattil David
Director: Darwin Kuriakose
Anweshippin Kandethum Movie Review Out ( Photo Credit – Instagram )
What’s Good: The film adeptly sustains suspense, captivating audiences from start to finish. It diverges from investigative thriller conventions by not introducing a family for Tovino, instead focusing solely on the investigation without unnecessary diversions, thereby enhancing its appeal.
What’s Bad: Specific viewers may find a lack of emotional connection to the investigating officer, a characteristic often present in films of this genre. Tovino Thomas’s character, however, lacks any personal connections such as a girlfriend, wife, or children.
Loo Break: Given the intricacies of the plot, it’s not advisable to take breaks as they may lead to missing vital information.

Some films believe in getting the viewer immersed in the universe of the film, and once those who were uninterested in what the film has to say are weeded out, that is when the film shows that the return on attention invested was actually quite high. Adrishya Jalakangal, or Invisible Windows, is a remarkable film that quite subtly but effectively depicts the ill effects of war and the brutality people have to face, especially those on the margins of our society. It also brings a dystopian beauty to the composition in each frame, which wasn’t expected from it, but the message is clear: a place where people’s voices are suppressed or aren’t believed—that is the madhouse we must all be wary of.

Indian Contender ‘2018’ Director Talks Oscar Campaign, Unveils New Missing Ship Thriller (Exclusive)
Jude Anthany Joseph, director of India’s international feature Oscar contender “2018,” has started work on his next film.
The untitled investigative thriller is being written by the filmmaker alongside journalist Josy Joseph. The film is based on the true story of Kerala Shipping Corporation’s cargo ship Mv Kairali that disappeared in 1979 with a crew of 49 and 20,000 tonnes of iron ore on board while sailing from Margao, India to Rostock, Germany, via Djibouti.
“It’s really fascinating to learn the historical importance of this incident and how the investigation never succeeded. As a filmmaker it is a challenging subject to execute,” Joseph told Variety. Production is due to commence in the last quarter of 2024.

Actor Tovino Thomas’ film ‘Adrishya Jalakangal’ or ‘Invisible Windows’ has finally released its theatrical trailer. A darkly mysterious, and conceptually very unique story, the movie is something else entirely, witnessing the Malayalam star in an entirely new avatar.
A kind of anti-war movie mixed psychological-thriller and even some horror elements, ‘Adrishya Jalakangal’ is an experimental film that tackles its themes with a subtle storytelling and is layered with metaphors and allegories, as it tells the story of love, loss, heartbreak and an exploration of the unknown.
Rather bleak and morose, the film tonally seems to have a rather pessimistic view of life almost bordering on a nihilistic outlook. Featuring a very rustic and grounded tone, the trailer sees a lot of different things such as discussing how once dead, names don’t matter, a kind of workers’ revolt, and anti-war protests, as well as some small romance and family in-fighting.
