Apart From Abhishek Bachchan Only One Family Member Follows Aishwarya Rai Bachchan On Instagram ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

The internet is roaring yet again with the divorce and separation rumors about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan. What has added fuel to the fire is Amitabh Bachchan’s Instagram account, which does not follow the Ponniyin Selvan actress. However, many portals have reported that the most senior Bachchan has unfollowed the daughter-in-law, but we don’t even know if he followed her in the first place.

The information is half-baked and half-cooked, and peeking into their family matter at such a time with such half pieces of information does not seem cool. None ever noticed if Bachchan senior used to follow the former Miss World.

In fact, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has never been acknowledged by Amitabh Bachchan on his social media, which might hint that he might not have been following her ever.

Exclusive: Sunny Deol’s Leading Lady In Lahore 1947 Is Aamir Khan’s Co-Star From Laal Singh Chaddha?(Photo Credit –Instagram/wikimedia)

Before Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal took the box office records only to shatter them one at a time, Sunny Deol did the same with Gadar 2 in August this year. The surprising success of Anil Sharma’s nostalgia-ridden blockbuster opened a lot of doors for Sunny, and he chose to enter the one guarded by Aamir Khan.

Last month, Aamir broke the news about working with Sunny Deol for a film titled Lahore 1947. Yeah, the title suggests that it’ll also find its anchor in patriotism to attract a larger section of the audience. Fans got excited and predicted this could be another box office monster aiming to enter the illustrious 1000-crore club.

Here’s what Aamir Khan posted while announcing the film, “I, and the entire team at Akp,...

Leave it to Zoya Akhtar to get you excited about a film about rich kids and their little naive problems, and then take it all away in a 2-hour, 23-minute-long snooze fest. I really wanted to like this film; in fact, I’ve been defending it since the trailers dropped, just to have an objective viewpoint on it all, but now I simply feel embarrassed. The Archies is set in the fictional Anglo-Indian town of Riverdale, somewhere in the north of India. The film follows 17-year-old Archie and his friends (mostly the two girls he’s confused about) as they navigate through friendship, romance, and a real-world problem—the future of their beloved park! As I put those words down, it makes me realize how true to them the film actually is. I would like to say that there are some enjoyable parts in this film, maybe the two dance...

Guess what time of the year it is? Snowfall? Yes! But it is also the time when it is gonna rain – star kids. With her much talked about film The Archies, Zoya Akhtar is launching the three most talked about star kids of this generation.

Now, four other kids feature on the poster – Vedang Raina, Mihir Ahuja, Dot, & Yuvraj Menda, who have created excellent intrigue about their characters and even left an impact in the film’s trailer. But let us be honest: all eyes are set on the star kids’ trio who have grabbed eyeballs ever since the film was announced.

This article contains spoilers for Sister Death and Veronica.

You probably remember those hyperbolic headlines about 2017’s Veronica, the so-called scariest movie on Netflix, the horror film so frightening users turned it off midway through. Six years on, the internet has had plenty of time to reevaluate this Spanish-language chiller. Was it really that scary? This writer would say no, but art is subjective.

But even if it didn’t live up to all those internet headlines and tweets you read about it, director Paco Plaza’s possession film, which stars Sandra Escacena, is still a fun time, with a few genuinely unsettling moments throughout: the Ouija seance, the nightmare where Veronica’s siblings chomp down on her arms, the scene where Veronica chases the camera down a dark hallway, the demon itself. The movie, which is very loosely based on the unexplained death of a teen girl in 1991, is also dripping with style,...

Bill Burr’s “Old Dads” has extended its reign as the most-watched title currently on Netflix. For the second week in a row, the comedy topped the streamer’s English-language film list and scored more views than any other single title during the time period.

In its second week on the list, “Old Dads” brought in 16.3 million views, taking the movie’s total view count up to 29.6 million in only 10 days. It secured 13.3 million views last week.

Pop a bottle of Prosecco and get ready to shake your money-maker because Lionsgate is partnering with STX to develop scripted TV series inspired by Jennifer Lopez’s Hustlers and the raunchy 2016 comedy Bad Moms. The plan to put both projects into development is part of a new distribution deal between STXfilms and Lionsgate, the companies announced on Wednesday.

The Hustlers and Bad Moms TV series projects are in the early stages of development, and there is no word if the original cast or crew members will return for the episodic versions of either property.

Released in 2016, Bad Moms stars Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn as three overworked and under-appreciated moms pushed beyond their limits. After succumbing to exhaustion, they ditch their conventional responsibilities for a jolt of long-overdue freedom, fun, and comedic self-indulgence. A sequel, A Bad Moms Christmas, was released in 2017. Both movies were received well by audiences,...

Synopsis: True crime novelist Ellison Oswald (Ethan Hawke) is so desperate to repeat the success of his first book that he moves his family into a home that served as the setting of a brutal murder. But instead of inspiration, Ellison finds a box of mysterious home movies in the attic that seem to point to unspeakable terrors — ones that could threaten his entire family.

Ken Marino credits his pal Adam Scott for making the unlikely and unexpected “Party Down” revival a reality. “Adam helped guide this and make this happen in a real way,” he tells Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast. “I think everybody in that cast recognized how special it was, and to just kind of go back and to get to do some more, to be with these people again, creatively, it’s a real gift.”

The first two seasons of “Party Down” aired on Starz in 2009 and 2010; the revival takes place a decade after the show’s last episode and features the returns of Marino as Ron, the slightly clueless catering manager who now owns the business — well, running it out of his van — and Scott as Henry, the sardonic failed actor who’s now a teacher and working on the side with Party Down to help pay for his alimony.

‘Riverdale’ told four pulpy tales of terror in the style of ‘Tales from the Crypt’ that become a meta commentary on genre, violence, and censorship.

“Veronica, it’s just a comic book…”

The CW’s Riverdale–against all odds–has become one of the most bizarre and unabashedly genre programs that’s currently on television. What started as a double-dog-dare of a premise that was ostensibly, “Archie Comics, but Twin Peaks,” will have produced more than 130 episodes across seven seasons that have included some particularly big swings and stylistic experiments (musicals have become a yearly tradition on Riverdale) over the years. Meanwhile, anthology horror has never been more popular on television and if any supernatural-adjacent series is designed to tell spooky tales around the metaphorical campfire, it’s Riverdale.

A Tales from the Crypt tribute already snugly fits within Riverdale’s uniquely weird wheelhouse. However, the events that surround the...

Madrid — There are few countries which share the U.S.’ sensibilities for high-end, soulful horror quite like Spain. Mexican genre legend Guillermo del Toro directed out of Spain two of his early films based around the Spanish Civil War: 2001’s “The Devil’s Backbone” and 2006’s “Pan’s Labyrinth” – the latter earning his first film’s Academy Awards, before godfathering Spanish director J.A. Bayona’s debut feature “The Orphanage,” which premiered to a 10-minute standing ovation at Cannes 2007.

Inspired by those films, coupled with a love for American genre from directors such as M. Night Shyamalan, Spanish director David Casademunt teamed with regular co-writers Fran Menchón and Martí Lucas on the screenplay for the headed-towards-production psychological horror-thriller “The Beast.”

As is to be expected from a movie with a Shyamalan-inspired twist, plot details are being kept close to the vest, but the film will take place in a shack in the middle of nowhere,...

What’s this? A horror movie on Netflix worth watching? “Verónica” appears to be just that, as “[Rec]” director Paco Plaza’s film has received across-the-board critical praise in addition to six Goya Award nominations (including Best Film) in its native Spain. Currently sitting at 100% “fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes, the film is now streaming.

The Film Stage‘s Jared Mobarak suggests it’s worth your time:

“Having this type of break-neck speed conclusion seems to be a pattern with Plaza (although ‘[Rec]’ is my only point of comparison), but who cares if it works? At the end of the day a horror film is successful if it can make your heart pound out of your chest. And for most of ‘Verónica,’ Plaza and Navarro do exactly that.”

Ditto Anton Bitel of SciFiNow:

“The film ultimately favours the paranormal – yet Plaza still slyly insinuates an alternative explanation, rooted in the protagonist’s psychosexual unravelling.

Giant (Handia) received 13 Goya nominations Basque language film Giant (Handia) leads the charge for the 32nd edition of the Goya Awards - the Spanish equivalent of the Oscars - with 13 nominations.

The film, directed by Aitor Arregi and Jon Garaño, who previously enjoyed international successs with Loreak, tells the real-life story of a son of a farmer who became a sensation after suffering from gigantism.

It is followed in the nominations list by Isabel Coixet's The Bookshop - starring Bill Nighy and Emily Mortimer - which has 12 nominations and Manuel Martin Cuenca's The Motive (El Autor), with nine, including a best actor nod for Javier Gutiérrez, who plays a man so obsessed with writing a book that he begins to manipulate his neighbours. The above all join the shortlist for best film, alongside Carla Simón's Summer 1993 (Estiu 1993) and Carlos Algara and Alejandro Martinez-Beltran's Verónica

The films vying for best European film.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center has today announced the fourth edition of Art of the Real, their essential showcase for boundary-pushing nonfiction film, scheduled to take place April 20 – May 2. Billed as “a survey of the most vital and innovative voices in nonfiction and hybrid filmmaking,” this year’s showcase features an eclectic, globe-spanning host of discoveries, including seven North American premieres and eight U.S. premieres.

“In our fourth year we’ve put an emphasis on placing works by first-time and emerging filmmakers alongside established names, with the aim to highlight the experimentation happening across generations, and to trace a new trajectory of documentary art that points to its promising future,” said Film Society of Lincoln Center Programmer at Large Rachael Rakes, who organized the festival with Director of Programming Dennis Lim.

The Roma Lazio Film Commission colour correction and sound mixing 5.1 award has gone to Veronica (Mexico) by Carlos Algara and Alejandro Martinez Beltrán under the auspices of Ventana Sur’s genre sidebar.

The Sofía Films colour correction and visual effects supervising award was presented at the awards ceremony in Buenos Aires last week to Laura Casabé for La Valija De Benavidez (Argentina), which began life as a pitch at the market three years ago.

The same film earned the Morbido Film Festival award for opening credits design and pay-tv distribution for a second and third window for Latin America.

The Morbido Film Festival’s poster design for a film award went to Federico and Sebastián Rotstein’s Terror 5 (Argentina).

Terror 5 also collected the Full Dimensional post-production and 2D-to-3D conversion package for a teaser, sound mixing 7.1, sound effects, foley and visual effects supervision.
