New Netflix series Alert! Noted filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is getting ready for his next shot! Titled, O Saathi Re, the series will be a captivating intricate love story featuring the talented cast of Aditi Rao Hydari, Avinash Tiwary and Arjun Rampal.

Known for his rich storytelling and deeply moving portrayals of relationships in Tamasha, Rockstar, Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal, Imtiaz Ali, will take on the role of creator, writer and showrunner. He will also be the executive producer of the series along with Mohit Choudhary. Arif Ali, who previously directed the Netflix series She, will take on the role of the director.

Apparently this incredible cast already is working brilliantly together. The powerhouse ensemble has already demonstrated their intense chemistry during a table read that took place ahead of the shoot.

Creator, writer and showrunner Imtiaz Ali shares, “O Saathi Re surprised me at every turn of its development.

The father-son relationship is a uniquely complex one, often fraught with unspoken expectations and shifting power dynamics. While ideally a source of encouragement and support, it is often a battleground of conflicting emotions. The Mehta Boys, directed by Boman Irani, offers an amusing perspective on this intricate dynamic, exploring their relationship with nuance. The film delves into the delicate and often fraught dynamics of their bond, showcasing the bitter-sweet push and pull of love and resentment that fuels powerful drama.

It is perhaps a bug of mine as a critic that I always try to look at a film from a holistic approach, rather than be buoyed by the central moments that serve to either encapsulate the entire emotionality of a film or serve as a cornerstone of that film’s existence. It definitely invites my prying eyes to dissect a film far more ruthlessly than perhaps required.

But perhaps ruthlessness itself stems from expectations. Conversational films within a set time frame, allowing one to delve deeply into the complicated dynamics of Indian parents and their children, always provide catnip for viewers. It could lack novelty, but there is always a certain kernel of relatability. And the tonality of the film could either play on that relatability in broad strokes or in subtlety.

Almost 10 years ago, we saw a very irritated Deepika Padukone trying to babysit an arrogant and difficult father in Amitabh Bachchan but making this father-daughter relationship work like magic in Shoojit Sircar’s Piku because of love and compassion for their relationship! 10 years later, Boman Irani and Avinash Tiwary bring an exact anti-thesis in The Mehta Boys!

The trailer for Boman Irani’s directorial debut has been dropped, and honestly, the glimpse is endearing enough to place our bets on this film rightfully, and hopefully, this is a winning bet! The film has Boman playing a rigid father struggling to co-exist with his son Avinash Tiwary.

The Mehta Boys seems to be a captivating and emotional story about a father and a son forced to live together under some circumstances, and both of them cannot bear each other.

Bollywood Mascot: Veteran actor Boman Irani is all set to make his directorial debut with The Mehta Boys, a heartfelt film scheduled for release on February 7, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video. The movie delves into the emotional dynamics between a father and his son, promising an intimate and moving cinematic experience.

Starring Boman Irani as the father and Avinash Tiwary as the son, the narrative unfolds over 48 hours as the duo navigates misunderstandings, unresolved issues, and moments of connection. The story is a testament to the evolving bond between two generations.

The film features Shreya Chaudhry and Puja Sarup in pivotal roles and is written by Irani in collaboration with Academy Award-winning writer Alexander Dinelaris Jr. It has been produced under the banners of Irani Movietone Llp and Chalkboard Entertainment Llp, adding to the credibility of this anticipated release.

Tamannaah Bhatia Urged North And South Film Industries To Put A United Front (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Tamannaah Bhatia sat down with her Sikandar Ka Muqaddar co-stars, Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Shergill, for a candid conversation at the Sahitya Aajtak 2024. Among the topics they explored, Tamannaah addressed the much-discussed North-South divide in the Indian film industry. She shared her thoughts on how this ongoing debate only adds to the fragmentation and chaos within the industry, pointing out that actors, in her view, are often responsible for fueling these differences.

Tamannaah strongly advocated for a unified, pan-Indian approach to filmmaking. She emphasized the need to move beyond regional divides and focus on creating stories that embody the collective spirit of Indian cinema. According to her, the North and South industries should collaborate to craft films representing India’s diverse yet united essence. “It’s high time we stop creating differences in our own industry.

A new crime drama is coming to Netflix. Directed by Neeraj Pandey, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, stars Jimmy Shergill, Avinash Tiwary, and Tamannaah Bhatia.

The film unravels a gripping tale of a police officer’s relentless pursuit to solve a diamond heist — but at what cost? As the tension builds, questions arise: Are the three suspects truly guilty, or is there more to the story than meets the eye?

In 2008, a daring heist at a diamond exhibition led to the Investigating Officer Jaswinder Singh (Jimmy Shergill) zeroing in on three suspects based on his moolvriti (instincts) — Kamini Singh (Tamannaah Bhatia), Sikandar Sharma (Avinash Tiwary), and Mangesh Desai (Rajiv Mehta). As the investigation deepens, the lines between guilt and innocence blur and Jaswinder’s pursuit turns into a relentless obsession.

Talking about the film, Neeraj Pandey shares his goal to captivate audiences with a narrative that intertwines obsession and mystery: “As a storyteller,...

With Kareena Kapoor Khan in the lead, the film had the potential to be a winner if not in theaters, then on the Ott. But the film could garner only 2.9 million views in its debut week, securing the 5th spot globally on the trending list on Netflix!
