Gyanendra Tripathi-starrer ‘Barah by Barah’ looks at life through the lens of a 'death photographer'
The upcoming film ‘Barah by Barah’, which has been shot on 16mm film, offers a unique perspective on life and death through the lens of a death photographer.
The film is set in Varanasi, and stars Gyanendra Tripathi of ‘Half CA’ fame and Geetika Vidya Ohlyan of ‘Thappad’ fame. The film has been directed by Gaurav Madan who met a photographer during a trip to Varanasi and found “immense cinematic potential” in the subject.
Talking about the film, Gaurav Madan said: “I hail from a small town called Jagadhri in Haryana. My parents had to let go of our ancestral home because the government decided to widen the adjacent highway. The house was razed in front of my eyes and we had to migrate to a drab housing colony.”
He continued: “Now, the entire town looks listless, like a big city clone. Progress is vital, of course, but there’s...

“Life is unfair, you have to be fair”, proclaims the packaging on a box of Fair & Awesome powder - a face whitening product that Nigerian migre to Delhi Michael Okeke (Samuel Abiola Robinson) has been tempted to buy. He realises it’s ludicrous, of course, his skin is never going to lighten to the point where he doesn’t face everyday racism on the streets of the Indian city.
Dibakar Das Roy’s debut feature wraps this issue up within a boisterous, if unruly, comedy as Michael tries to make it as best he can. Studying for an Mba, he’s an industrious sort but he’s also dealing drugs in his off-hours to make ends meet. There’s barely a dull moment in Das Roy’s film as Michael finds himself unexpectedly courted to be a “disciple” of local spiritual leader Mansi (Geetika Vidya Ohlyan), whose most impressive ability...

What is special about filmmaker Dibakar Das Roy’s movie ‘Dilli Dark’, which will have its international premiere at the 27th Tallinn Black Night Film Festival in the ‘First Features Competition’, is not just the fact that it manages to bring forth the many shades of the capital city towards an ‘outsider’, but does that with an underlying humour without trivialising a sensitive subject.
Revolving around a Nigerian man, Michael (played by Samuel Abiola Robinson) studying in Delhi, who sells cocaine at night and is subjected to racial slurs and a distinct gaze owing to his skin colour, the film sees him getting attracted to a ‘god woman’, played by Geetika Vidya Ohlyan of ‘Soni’ fame whose ashram he joins in order to find himself. However, he soon realises that all she wants from him is cocaine.

Mumbai, May 31 (Ians) Actress Nimrat Kaur, who essays the role of a student counsellor in the upcoming streaming series ‘School of Lies’, feels that parents need to be extremely careful with how they conduct themselves around their kids as kids today are fast learners and the behaviour of parents leaves a fine imprint on the kids in their formative years.
Wrapped in the intense mystery of a missing child, ‘School of Lies’ showcases the journey of teenagers in a boarding school.
Talking about how the dynamics between parents and their child are changing, Nimrat told Ians, “Young kids nowadays have a mind of their own, they want to make their own choices and are so ahead of everything all the time.

Mumbai, May 30 (Ians) Actress Nimrat Kaur has spilled the beans on her equation with the children on the upcoming series ‘School Of Lies’ and how she was indeed marvelled by their skills and talent.
Talking about this, Nimrat said: “Most of the scenes that I have with the kids are nice and light. I kept myself extremely accessible for the kids to chit-chat with so that they feel happy and Avinash was wonderful in leading that from the front, so that nobody feels awkward or restrained in any way.”
“A lot of my work was, in particular, with one actor – Varin Roopani who plays Vikram. He was a real pleasure to work with and someone so ahead of his years, I marvelled at his intellect. We had some really interesting conversations, off camera, regarding life and taste in books and movies and music.”

Actress Nimrat Kaur, who is set to headline the Ott series ‘School Of Lies’, has spilled the beans on her admiration for her director and what made her say yes to streaming series.
The show came to her when she was looking for something diametrically opposite but she couldn’t resist giving her nod to the show after being enticed by its writing.
Talking about the show, Nimrat said, “While I was personally looking for something light, when ‘School of Lies’ came to me, there was something about the subject that drew me towards it. It’s a very important story that needs to be told, and I felt very compelled to be a part of this world. I had always been a very big admirer of Avinash Arun’s work, right from the days of ‘Killa’, his much celebrated Marathi film and wanted to collaborate with him”.

Unpaused (Amazon Prime Video)
Directed by Raj-dk, Nikkhil Advani, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Avinash Arun Dhaware, Nitya Mehra
Straightaway, I must say the anthology comes as a welcome surprise.
When I heard of a Covid anthology I thought it would one of those let’s-make-hay-while-the-sun-shines kind of obscenely exploitative ventures. Thankfully, the films are born out of compassion rather than greed. The Covid theme flows organically out of the stories, and the characters are never allowed to feel sorry for themselves. These are bright stories burnished with a directorial acumen that elevates the theme from a topical statement to an enduring experience.
In the story Rat-a-Tat(inaptly clever title just because it’s got a rat in it) one of my favourite segments of the omnibus, a 65-year old uperclass woman(Lilette Dubey) finds herself getting close to a young feisty Maharashtrian girl who moves in from nextdoor when a rat infests her apartment.

Unpaused, with five stories that attempt to define the mood of urban India during lockdown, suffers from that problem. The film starts off on a high note, hits a slump immediately after that, and somehow manages to recover in the stories that follow.
Anthologies can be erratic -- in pace, tone and overall storytelling. When you have multiple directors calling the shots on multiple sets of actors in standalone stories, it is hard to find cohesion of quality. The parts that make up the entirety are often never consistently good or bad.
The uneven quality about Unpaused extends to the film's ability to surprise, too. The top pick, in terms of a unique idea, has to be the first story, Raj and Dk's Glitch. The story is quietly scary in the way it imagines an India in the future that has all but lost its battle with the coronavirus. Covid-...

Critics’ Choice Film Awards holds its ground to honour cinematic brilliance irrespective of the mass appeal of the films.

Soni(Netflix)
Starring Geetika Vidya Ohlyan, Saloni Batra
Directed by Ivan Ayr
Netflix’s prized find of this year opens with a girl cycling down a deserted road in the dead of the night. She is being followed by ….for the want of stronger word…an eve-teaser who cycles lasciviously behind and beside her, pelting with his perverse chant.
I won’t reveal how this terrifying sequence on Delhi’s horror roadway concludes. Suffice it to say, this unheard-of masterpiece with a cast of completely new actors, brings an experience from the lives of the women in Delhi’s police force without exaggerating, dramatizing or sentimentalizing their thankless work.
Dammit, this gem of a film (where the sparkle is never a showroom sales pitch) doesn’t even get judgmental about those high-handed elements on the roads of Delhi who think they own it. They have their own code of conduct to follow.

Netflix'Soni' forces you as a viewer to introspect how easily we have normalised patterns of male violence and aggression. Saraswati Datar“Why don’t you wear sindoor?" a caring neighbour asks Soni (Geetika Vidya Ohlyan), the eponymous character, a cop on night duty for a special operation. A Muslim herself, the neighbour says she has used this trick to keep herself safe while walking back and forth from a sewing class. “It’s not even in our religion, but it ensured that the harassment stopped,” she quips, with absolutely no anger or malice in her voice. Soni, directed by debutant Ivan Ayr, now streaming on Netflix, has many such conversations and moments that can occur in any of our homes. Unlike most mainstream films featuring cops or ‘women’s issues’, this slice of life cop drama has no rhetoric, no bombastic declarations of revenge or melodrama of any kind.

Ivan Ayr’s indie feature debut “Soni” is a gentle but assertive work of social realism and a character exploration on the background of women problematic day-to-day life in India. After being well accepted at the Venice Film Festival for the “Orizzonti” section, “Soni” is having a god run in some of the major festivals and it competes in the First Feature Section at the BFI London Film Festival.
Soni is screening at BFI London Film Festival
The first scene immediately sets the mood of the movie. A woman at night cycles home, passing through the dark back-alleys of a suburban area of New Delhi. Another cyclist – a man – starts the catcalling routine and when harassment goes from verbal to physical, the woman teaches him a lesson and beats him quite viciously. At the arrival of the police we soon discover that the victim is the undercover police sub-inspector Soni...

When Alfred Hitchcock decided to shoot his parlor mystery-thriller Rope in what appeared to be one long, continuous take he unknowingly opened Pandora’s box. After Rope, filmmakers spanning the globe would copy the long take technique in hopes of capturing something resembling art. Today, it exists mostly in two forms: the elongated action sequence, which is supposed to capture gritty realism and the back and forth rhythm of a fight, and the long take masquerading as an entire movie, like in Rope. The problem with this, however, is that Rope is closer to an interesting failure than a document of great filmmaking innovation. The long take mostly exists as a crutch to hide the weaknesses of filmmakers among viewers who think it must be great because it’s loud. Enter director Ivan Ayr’s Soni, the new Indian film out of the Venice Film Festival that attempts and fails...

Two policewomen in New Delhi rub up against sexual harassment, gender expectations, and the exhaustion of the job’s constant pressures in Ivan Ayr’s understated gem of a debut, “Soni.” With an intelligent, subtle script and camerawork so organically natural one doesn’t immediately realize that each scene is shot in one take, the film draws on a subject much in the news and spins it into a multilayered yet low-key study without preaching or sensationalizing. When indie Indian films make a splash away from home they tend to be sentimental feel-good dramedies; with the right marketing, “Soni” could break the pattern and become an international art-house sleeper.
Undercover cop Soni (Geetika Vidya Ohlyan) works the night shift as part of a decoy operation targeting violent crimes against women. Naturally no-nonsense and under considerable strain from personal issues (not fully revealed until near the end), she’s quick to anger when pushed,...
