Back in the day, crime dramas usually used to have corrupt cops. And even if the protagonist was a member of any law enforcement authority, they used to punch up instead of down. In case you’ve forgotten due to the Singham franchise’s recent trashy entries, the first one was actually about catching a corrupt politician, not doing the bidding of one. While movies like Ugly, Raman Raghav 2.0, Paan Singh Tomar, and Sonchiriya tried to show the real face of the law, films like Talaash, Mardaani (and its sequel), Raees, Dabangg (the entire trilogy), Murder Mubarak, Rautu ka Raaz, Khakee: The Bihar Chapter, Delhi Crime, and even the highly revered Article 15 kept portraying the police as the bastion of justice and righteousness. That said, slowly but steadily, directors and writers are starting to realize again that maybe celebrating the khaki uniform isn’t a good idea because it has some real-life consequences.

After seven years of failed attempts to bring Siddharth Anand and Rohit Dhawan’s Rambo remake to life, the project has been shelved due to financial constraints and the waning box office appeal of its lead actor, Tiger Shroff. Despite Siddharth Anand’s interest in repackaging the project, Rohit Dhawan has chosen to move on.
The director of *Desi Boyz* spent four years on the Rambo adaptation, but it never progressed beyond pre-production. According to Peepingmoon.com, Dhawan is now teaming up with Sajid Nadiadwala for a new project. This marks a return to Nadiadwala’s banner for Dhawan, who previously collaborated with him on the 2016 film *Dishoom* starring John Abraham and Varun Dhawan.
Dhawan’s new venture is a two-hero action comedy, though it is not a sequel to *Dishoom*. Instead, it is described as being in the vein of the popular 1997 comedy *Deewana Mastana*, which starred Govinda and Anil Kapoor.

There are a number of stories about how Gulzar, who has been awarded the 58th Jnanpith Award along with Sanskrit scholar Jagatguru Rambhadracharya, became one of Hindi cinema’s most celebrated lyricists after being better known in his years as a struggler after Partition in Mumbai for his expertise in re-painting cars mauled in crashes.
The one that seems most credible, however, has come from him. Despite his skill with car colours, Gulzar’s first love was the written word and he was a regular at the Progressive Writers Association (Pwa), which was then a creative hub of just about every Titan in Hindi and Urdu literature.
It was at Pwa meetings that the undiscovered poet struck up a friendship with lyricist Shailendra, who introduced him to Bimal Roy, who, in turn, told him that he was wasting his time and talent at a car workshop.

The enigmatic greys of a Kashmir winter in ‘Haider’, the many tones of black in ‘Maqbool’ with such visual poetry where each note stands out, Vishal Bhardwaj’s cinema has never shouted ‘independent’ but subtly stood out from the movies of his time.
Not hyper-realistic in its treatment, it is Bhardwaj’s visual poetry that makes the thematic essence pull in reality at its most profound.
“What you call visual poetry in my films emerges from the deep-rooted love for poetry that never leaves me,” Bhardwaj told Ians. “Therefore, there is always an effort to lend a certain rhythm and deeper meaning to everything that happens in front of the camera.”
Together with Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banerjee and Tigmanshu Dhulia, Bhardwaj has been instrumental in ushering in a new era in Indian cinema after the almost traumatic 80s when Hindi cinema hit its lowest. He believes, though, that the independent...

Femme fatales are usually supporting characters in any crime or espionage thriller. The last femme fatale who created a lot of noise for her suave action skills and sheer beauty in a film was Ana de Armas in No Time to Die. Ever since, there have been only a handful of films and television shows that have explored this archetype. Even in the Hindi cinema space, the last interesting film that deeply explored the femme fatale was Vishal Bhardwaj’s Saat Khoon Maaf. Wingwomen, whose French title is Voleuses, loosely translated to thieves, is the story of two friends who are on the verge of leaving the life of crime. This French Netflix original film, released on November 2, 2023, is based on the comic book of the same name by Florent Ruppert, Jérôme Mulot, and Christophe Deslandes and is directed by Mélanie Laurent.

Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj said that adapting a book is about the profound connection one feels while reading it. “Escape to Nowhere,” the gripping nonfiction narrative at the core of Vishal Bhardwaj’s Netflix film ‘Khufiya’, called for an unwavering commitment to detail and a profound respect for its source material.
Talking about the creative process of bringing the book to screen adaptation, Bhardwaj shared: “Adapting a book to the screen isn’t about what you initially think; it’s about the profound connection you feel when you read it. Committing to this process is physically and emotionally demanding, tougher than even a marriage.”
He added: “’Khufiya’ takes me into uncharted territory, exploring espionage, a new genre for me. It’s a thrilling journey of creative discovery, one that has provided me with a fresh and exhilarating perspective on my directorial journey, expanding my creative horizons and challenging me in ways I hadn’t anticipated.
