OTT Releases This Week: Brinda, Batman Caped Crusader and More

Post By Science And Technology , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The weekend is here, and so are our top recommendations for the biggest OTT releases to stream! Among the Indian originals, the South Indian entertainment industry is dominating with two exciting releases: Brinda and Modern Masters: S.S. Rajamouli on SonyLiv and Netflix. In Brinda, a police officer battles superstitions like human sacrifices, while Modern Masters offers a glimpse into Rajamouli’s unseen sides.

Globally, our top pick is Umbrella Academy’s fourth and final season, where the dysfunctional Hargreeves family with superpowers embarks on new adventures. Superhero fans will also love Prime Video’s Caped Crusader, a nostalgic trip back to Bruce Wayne’s early days as Batman. Meanwhile, Hulu’s 12th season of Futurama promises more interstellar escapades in this animated series.

On the international front, Apple TV’s Women in Blue redefines women’s empowerment through a gripping thriller. Netflix’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder follows a high-schooler reopening a five-year-old murder case, challenging the original conviction. Last but not least, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes makes its post-theatrical debut on Hotstar, which is perfect for a weekend binge.

Top OTT Releases This Week (July 29- August 4)

Where to Watch: Prime Video

Cast: Hamish Linklater, Mckenna Grace, Minnie Driver, Toby Stephens, Haley Joel Osment, Christina Ricci, Jamie Chung, David Krumholtz, Diedrich Bader, Reid Scott

Batman: Caped Crusader is a nostalgic reimagination of the Batman mythos with a noir touch. It is set in Gotham City in the 1940s, where the corrupt have outnumbered the good, and crime marks the rule of the day.

The animated series explores how Bruce Wayne, the billionaire socialite, starts his nocturnal campaigns of fighting for justice under the disguise of a caped crusader called Batman. He doesn’t even have a tech armour-plated suit or advanced Bat-computer yet.

Batman: Caped Crusader has been developed by Bruce Timm, who co-created the landmark ’90s classic Batman: The Animated Series, and serves heart doses of nostalgia, action, and thrill.

Brinda

Where to Watch: SonyLiv

Her character challenges conventional beliefs and superstitious practices like human sacrifice. Originally planned as a film, the show also marks Krishnan’s debut in the web series sector. Originally shot in Telugu, Brinda is also available to stream in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, Bengali, and Malayalam.

The documentary explores the visionary director’s creative process, childhood fascination, life stories, dreams, aspirations, and more through interviews, unseen footage, and behind-the-scenes.

The documentary also offers insights from global luminaries like James Cameron, Joe Russo, and Karan Johar, as well as close friends and colleagues such as Prabhas, Jr NTR, Rana Daggubati, and Ram Charan.

Where to Watch: Apple TV

Four women in 1970 Mexico joined the country’s first female police force, ready to challenge conservative patriarchal norms, only to discover that their recruitment was merely a publicity stunt to distract the media from a serial killer on the loose. As the body count keeps increasing, the quadrat decides to set up a secret investigation to catch the killer and achieve what no male officer has been able to do. The ten-episode-long Spanish drama is based on true events and has garnered good reviews from critics so far.

Indians at the Academy Awards: From Satyajit Ray to Deepika Padukone

Post By Entertainment , , , , , , , , , , ,

Come Sunday, Indian cinema is launching one of its biggest offensives ever at the Academy Awards. Naatu Naatu from S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR is up for Best Original Song; it won the Golden Globe, to frenzied jubilation everywhere, two months ago. Meanwhile, two documentaries — Shaunak Sen’s feature-length All That Breathes and Kartiki Gonsalves’s 41-minute The Elephant Whisperers— are in with a shout in their respective categories. It really does look like our year, with celebrations planned and congratulatory posts drafted out in advance. The cinephile excitement is at a peak, so what more could we want?

One answer is Deepika Padukone. Last week, Oscar enthusiasm hit the roof when it was announced that Padukone, after unveiling the FIFA World Cup Trophy in Qatar in 2022, will present an Academy Award alongside the likes of Riz Ahmed, Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt and Samuel L. Jackson. Padukone will be part of a double treat for Indians watching with sleepy eyes on Monday morning, with MM Keeravaani conducting a 2.5-minute Naatu Naatu piece on stage (sadly, no Ram Charan and Jr. NTR to lead the dancers; they’ll be in attendance with director Rajamouli).

Indians at the Academy

Indians, and Indian movies, have been thinly represented at the Oscars. In a history of 94 years, we’ve won six times (the number is marginally improved if you include the technical achievement awards). On the face of it, this shouldn’t be too depressing; the Oscars remain a predominantly American bash. Yet the Academy — a 9000-plus-members honorary body that gives out the awards — has been pushing for increased diversity, and includes many Indians. On a more pedestrian level, if there’s one country as frenetically obsessed with red carpets, flashy performances and celebrity jamborees as the US — the difference, perhaps, is only one of prestige — it’s probably India.

S.S. Rajamouli’s globe-trotting awards tour leading up to the Oscars might make it look like a breeze, but it wasn’t always the case. Indian artists, like Indian scientists and Indian sportspersons, have always starved for budgets. In 1957, the Academy created a separate competitive category for foreign-language films; a year later, Mehboob Khan’s Mother India was sent as India’s first official submission to the Oscars. Khan, already debt-ridden by the film’s gargantuan production, turned to Jawaharlal Nehru for help. He eventually reached LA with his wife Sardar Akhtar and attended screenings for Academy voters, with one concession: the famous sickle-and-hammer logo of Mehboob Productions was excised so as not to upset American sensibilities.

The stratagem didn’t help; Mother India lost out to Federico Fellini’s Nights of Cabiria, significantly — it is claimed — by a single vote. Khan attended the ceremony, but there contrasting reports of his response; he either laughed off the defeat with a smile or was crestfallen enough to suffer a heart attack the following day (Khan died of a heart attack on May 28, 1964, a day after Nehru’s death).

Like Khan, a young Vidhu Vinod Chopra also lacked the means for intercontinental travel when his An Encounter with Faces (1978) was nominated for Best Documentary Short (the saviour, this time around, was LK Advani, the then I&B Minister).

It wasn’t the same experience for Bhanu Athaiya, legendary costume designer and India’s first Oscar winner. Athaiya was awarded for her work on Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi. Columbia Pictures, the film’s distributors, funded her travel to the 1983 ceremony. A trendsetter back home — she dressed films as sartorially wide-ranging as Sahib Bibi Aur Gulam, Teesri Manzil and Razia Sultan. Athaiya walked up to the stage in a shimmery turquoise drape, paired with choker, danglers and handbag in tow. In contrast to the jokey patter of presenters Steve Guttenberg and Ann Reinking, her speech was simple and short: “Thank you Academy and Sir Richard Attenborough for focusing world attention on India,” she said.

Honouring the greats

By the early 1990s, the Academy had honoured world cinema giants like Akira Kurosawa, Jean Renoir, Charlie Chaplin and Orson Welles. Now came Satyajit Ray’s turn. In March 1992, Ray was ailing in his hospital bed in Kolkata and could not attend the Oscars ceremony in LA. Audrey Hepburn, while presenting his Academy Honorary Award on stage, addressed him with the phonetically accurate ‘R-ai’ (as opposed to the anglicized ‘R-ay’ so many Indians prefer to use). Holding his golden statuette, in a beige embroidered panjabi, Ray joined via a video-feed and spoke of the influence of American cinema in his life. Despite his failing health (he died less than a month later), the master was calm, eloquent and funny — a tonality of televised award shows he understood too well.

The star of Indian cinema has risen piecemeal at the Oscars. In 1987, Chiranjeevi became the first South Indian actor to be guest of honour at the Oscars; two years later, Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay! was nominated. The new millennium saw Aamir Khan hobnobbing with Julia Roberts and Denzel Washington on the red carpet. His Lagaan was a big deal (ultimately losing out to Bosnian war drama No Man’s Land), but it was Slumdog Millionaire, eight years later, that really kicked down the doors.

Reminiscent of Naatu Naatu’s success, Jai Ho was already a globally downloaded sensation when it won the Oscar for Best Original Song – one of eight the film took home that year. Though a British production, and suitably problematized for its view of urban poverty in India, Danny Boyle’s film turned the Oscars into a joyous Bollywood night. A.R. Rahman, Gulzar and Resul Pookutty won awards, with Rahman winning two. Particularly touching was the final tableau during the Best Picture win — Anil Kapoor beaming, Irrfan Khan struggling to tuck in his cuffs, Dev Patel picking child actor Rubina Ali Qureshi in his arms. A typically Indian assembly, with a bunch of foreigners thrown in.

Deepika Padukone’s appearance at the Dolby Theatre on Sunday will certainly break the internet. Before her, Indian and Indian origin actresses — Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Mindy Kaling, Persis Khambatta — have all partook in the ceremonies, raising the country’s profile and visibility in the global media glare. Chopra, particularly, has displayed an internationalism characteristic of the 21st century Asian crossover star. Now Padukone is poised to do the same. It’s a shiny year for India at the Academy Awards. If a win marks the occasion, there will be nothing like it.

Oscars 2023 Nominees: The Full List

Post By Science And Technology , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The 2023 Oscars nominees were announced last night in California, with the uber-creative Everything Everywhere All at Once leading the list with 11 nominations. That, of course, includes a mention in the prestigious Best Picture category, alongside nods for duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, who secured nominations for Best Director and Best Screenplay as well. It was closely followed by the German war epic All Quiet on the Western Front and Martin McDonagh’s latest Irish black comedy, The Banshees of Inisherin — both scoring nine nominations each. They will also compete for Best Picture, the winners of which will be announced directly at the Oscars ceremony, scheduled to take place on the morning of March 13.

Academy Award-nominee Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) and Allison Williams (Get Out) revealed the 2023 Oscar nominations, during a live stream. This year’s Oscars plays host to two comeback stories in the film industry, starting with Brendan Fraser, who was nominated in the Best Actor category for his emotional performance in A24’s The Whale. Ke Huy Quan — Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom — who returned to mainstream acting with the aforementioned Everything Everywhere All at Once, secured a nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Meanwhile, his on-screen partner Michelle Yeoh got nominated for Best Actress, going up against the likes of Cate Blanchett for Tár and Ana de Armas, who earned her first Oscar nod for her performance in the Marilyn Monroe biopic, Blonde.

From India, RRR’s dance track “Naatu Naatu” got nominated for Best Original Song, followed by two entries in the documentary department. Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes earned a place among the Best Documentary Feature Film of the year, white Kartiki Gonsalves’ The Elephant Whisperers was nominated in the Best Documentary Short Film category. As expected — and rightfully deserved — James Cameron’s much-delayed Avatar: The Way of Water claimed a spot in the Best Visual Effect category, which also enlisted Matt Reeves’ The Batman. The latter also got nominated for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and Best Sound. Oddly enough, there was no nod for Greig Fraser’s moody cinematography in the superhero flick. Even Park Chan-wook’s erotic murder mystery Decision to Leave wasn’t placed on the Best Foreign Language list.

With that, here’s the entire list of nominees for this year’s Oscars:

Congratulations to all of this year’s nominees. I’m happy about most of these selections, especially EEAAO and Tar and Close and Brendan Fraser (yes, I’m a fan). I’m most upset about Moonage Daydream being left out of Best Documentary. How did they miss that?! And I also do think S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR should’ve earned a few more mentions, but apparently India didn’t even submit it for Best International Film anyway. The surprise celebrity campaign for Andrea Riseborough worked, but does she really deserve it this time? Especially over other incredible performances like Danielle Deadwyler in Till? I’m considerably surprised that All Quiet on the Western Front end up with so many noms, especially as a Netflix movie. It’s good, but good enough for 9 nominations? I guess so. Above all else, I want Ke Huy Quan to win his Oscar – he also deserves it for his EEAAO performance. In cinematography, I’d swap out Empire of Light for anything else. Yeah I know it’s Deakins, but it’s not a good film, and he has tons of noms already anyway. I am sure there will be tons of complaints about everything, as is the norm. What do you think of the nominations for 2022?

Golden Globes 2023: RRR To Brendan Fraser – Full List Of Nominees

Post By Entertainment , ,

A still from the video. (courtesy: A24 )

The Golden Globes nominations were announced on Monday with much excitement for India; RRR scored two nominations – Best Non-English Language Film and Best Original Song for Naatu Naatu. The honour roll was peppered with other bits of excitement such as Brendan Fraser who earned a Best Actor (Drama) nod for his comeback performance in The Whale. Several usual suspects showed up in various categories – Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie are up for their performances in Babylon, Daniel Craig for Glass Onion and Austin Butler for Elvis.

Rajamouli’s film beat contenders like Downton Abbey: A New Era, Eiffel, I’m Your Man, Riders of Justice, and Silent Night to win the title of the Best International Film. It is also the second Indian film to have won the title after Prabhas starrer Baahubali: The Conclusion, which was also helmed by Rajamouli.

Announcing the news of his big win, Rajamouli shared his acceptance speech from Japan where he said, “I am so glad that our film RRR has won the Saturn Award in the best international film category. I thank the jury on behalf of our entire team. We are super elated.”

Talking about his first Saturn Award that he received for Baahubali: The Conclusion, he further added to his speech, “This is the second Saturn Award for my films. The first one I won was for Baahubali: The Conlusion. I wish I was there in person but due to my prior commitments related to RRR release in Japan, unfortunately I’m unable to attend. I’d like to congratulate all the other winners.”
