This Creepy Doll From The 90s Became A Trend In India Long Before Labubu Or Annabelle(Photo Credit –Prime Video)

Om Phat Swaha, said by none other than Tatya Vinchu, still sends a chill down the spines of the ’90s Indian kids. Now, many creepy dolls like Annabelle, Chucky, and most recently, Labubu (which people love to flaunt) may have become trendy but for us, desis, none of these “dolls” come as close to us as our own Tatya Vinchu.

Tatya Vinchu is so popular primarily because he is considered India’s original iconic horror doll. He first appeared in the 1993 Marathi horror-comedy film Zapatlela. Tatya was created by director Mahesh Kothare, designed and operated by ventriloquist Ramdas Padhye, and voiced by actor Dilip Prabhavalkar. From 1993 to today, Tatya has been a huge cultural phenomenon, and rightly so!

Dhadak 2 is on the verge...

Subhash K Jha looks back at 21 Years Of Farhan Akhtar’s Lakshya, which starred Hrithik Roshan.

Here’s a rare, refreshing, pathbreaking film which is as noble in intent as it is in treatment. Intensely individualistic and pioneering in its fusion of a social conscience with fiction, Lakshya takes us to Kargil …slowly and deliberately. The pacing of the narration is so uniquely unhurried, you wonder if Farhan Akhtar is out on a sublime stroll through a picaresque highway where, like his aimless protagonist Karan, he can encounter anything at any point.

But you soon realize nothing is by chance in this film about finding one’s metier in life. Lakshya takes us through one man’s journey into finding a purpose in life. In doing so, the narration effortlessly finds its own centre. There are no full stops in the seamless narration. And yet the punctuation marks, like Hrithik’s subtly shaded,...

2024 for Hindi movies was like a kickback to the countless number of Box-office turners we got last year. After the sheer storm that movies like Pathaan, Jawan, Animal, and Gadar 2 brought out at the Box Office (their questionable quality aside), 2024 turned out to be a year where Hindi cinema got its mojo back – in particular the little gems that often go unnoticed.

Sure there was the usual pile of absolute garbage across all fronts and genres, but this year could be seen as a slightly better outing for Bollywood. Thanks in large part to some small-budgeted fares that had minor ambitions and even minor Box office runs. However, for those of us who like to go out of our way to get to the core of such movies, it was a good time.

Farhan Akhtar’s Don which turns 18 on October 20 was not easy to do. Farhan had to struggle to get the rights of the original. A certain procedure had to be followed in getting the remake rights. Farhan had to put in a public notice in the trade papers announcing his intentions to remake the film. The late producer Nariman Irani’s wife, Salma Irani, had to give her consent.

Recalled Farhan in a throwback interview, “I wanted to make Don with the title and the characters being called as per the original . I want to remake Don as I’d like to see it. Mera apna Don.

Blood, high-octane action, and power-packed fight sequences; India’s deadliest and most violent action thriller, Kill is set to stream on Disney+ Hotstar from 6th September, 2024 onwards. Directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, the film sends chills down our spine as we prepare for a ‘bloody’ ride filled with intense action and compelling performances by talented debutant Lakshya, along with Raghav Juyal and Tanya Maniktala who bring their own charm to the film.

Writer and Director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat said, “Seeing Kill transition from a successful theatrical run to now preparing to release on Disney+ Hotstar is incredibly exciting for me. I was inspired to write the story for Kill from a personal experience dating back to around 1994-95, that shook me forever. Hence, making Kill as raw as possible was really important for me to translate my true emotions. Kill wouldn’t have been possible without Lakshya’s raw skills,...

John Woo was once known as the master of action cinema. His knack for beautifully crafted and stylized violence made him an international sensation with hits like The Killer (1989) and Hard Boiled before making the leap to Hollywood with Hard Target. His impact on the genre is undeniable, but following the critically panned, Ben Affleck-starring Paycheck the filmmaker went back to his Hong Kong roots and left the world of Hollywood behind him for two decades.

He returned to American audiences last year with the dialogue-free, Christmas-themed Silent Night — a film that I personally loved but that faced a rocky reception from most — and again in 2024 with The Killer, a remake of his ’89 classic. It’s always an interesting choice when a filmmaker remakes one of their own movies. Yasujiro Ozu remade his film A Story of Floating Weeds, and the second attempt is arguably the superior film; however,...

Bad Boys: Ride or Die (Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah)

Bad Boys: Ride or Die is a film about retribution and redemption. Not just on screen, but in execution. After their last attempt at a blockbuster was shelved in the name of a tax loophole, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah seem intent on unleashing all their pent-up energy, whether they’re selling us Batgirls or Bad Boys. Even if it bears the baggage of a meta redemption arc for its star, Ride or Die brings enough stylistic gusto to its action in the absence of Michael Bay but has a hard time justifying most other decisions, which adopt the tedium rampant in modern blockbuster filmmaking. – Conor O.
