PVRINOX PICTURES, the largest distributor of Independent foreign language films in India, is thrilled to announce the release of Beau is Afraid today. Written and directed by Ari Aster, this latest thriller stars Academy Award-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix along with Nathan Lane, Amy Ryan, Stephen McKinley Henderson among more, and is produced by Lars Knudsen and Ari Aster himself.

The film follows the story of Beau Wassermann, played by Oscar-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix, a paranoid man who embarks on a journey to visit his mother. The trip takes an unexpected turn as Beau finds himself facing malevolent forces and unseen eyes tracking his every move. The film is an exploration of the emotional chaos and collective uncertainty of our present day and features both horror and humour.

Beau Wassermann is a character that springs to life on screen in ways few fictional characters have. His virtuoso performance transcends from the physical, emotional and psychological, often within the same scene, taking the audience on a rollercoaster ride of anxiety, fear and paranoia.

Writer-director of Beau is Afraid, Ari Aster is known for his previous works "Hereditary" and "Midsommar." In Beau is Afraid, Ari creates a character study about an unlived life, a hero's journey for a man whose disposition and temperament are uniquely unsuited to the challenges of dealing with his surroundings, family, and his own interior life.

PVRINOX Pictures is excited to bring Beau is Afraid to audiences across India, a must-watch film for anyone who loves a good thriller.

A feud against her rivals!

Nicki Minaj – the true queen of sass is immensely popular among her fans for her raps and for creating controversy with her fierce statements.

World-famous diss!

It was a diss that was never expected and was heard by everyone around the world.

Everyone witnessed numerous interviews of her commenting on Miley and vice-versa. Apart from different allegations, she accused Miley of cultural hypocrisy.

A controversial misunderstanding!

Once at the time of VMA 2015, Nicki took to social media and rant about the nominations for the Video of the Year Award. She alleged the panels for rewarding videos of women who looked a certain way. This raised a storm and Taylor Swift took that as a dig against her. Later it came out as a misunderstanding, and both of them happily performed at the ceremony.

Some unexpected violence!

Cardi B and Nicki went beyond the grounds at a post-event party. Cardi literally threw one of her shoes at Minaj at the party. She even tried to rough up Nicki physically. This all happened when Cardi came into the picture of rap music and gained immense popularity creating a buzz around the world talking about someone replacing Nicki.

Some absurd medical logic!

Nicki Minaj is the talk of the town for numerous controversies for years. One such happened during the time of COVID-19 when she took to social media commenting about the efficacy of vaccines. She also stated that she would not attend the Met Gala in New York in 2021 because she didn’t get vaccinated.

<![CDATA[Legendary Singer Padmashri Mahendra Kapoor's grandson Sidhant Kapoor wins accolades, love and following for ‘Birth of Ganesha’ opera in London. All set to compose for more international projects! ]]>https://bollyy.com/legendary-singer-padmashri-mahendra-kapoors-grandson-sidhant-kapoor-wins-accolades-love-and-following-for-birth-of-ganesha-opera-in-london-all-set-to-compose-for-more-internation-2/

Legendary singer Mahendra Kapoor’s grandson and singer-actor Ruhan Kapoor’s son Sidhant Kapoor takes Indian mythology to global glory by composing a Sanskrit-Hindi opera ‘Birth of Ganesha’ in London. Composing the fascinating story of how Ganesha got his elephant head was no easy task.

Sidhant rehearsed with a team of amazing singers from around the world in Hindi and Sanskrit, a foreign language to all the performers. Even though the singers made use of phonetics to understand the pronunciation of the words, Sidhant had to work hard to make sure it sounds perfect, even to a native Hindi or Sanskrit speaker. “It was important to ensure that we had an opera with a heart. For that, I had to make sure that the singers understand the emotion behind every word sung so that the story came across to the audience despite them not knowing the language.”

‘Birth of Ganesha’ had its world premiere at Peacock Halls, Greenwich, London. The opera was not only well received by the audiences but also appreciated by prominent classical composers Dr. Deirdre Gribbin and Dr. Stephen Montague. While Gribbin spoke of how Sidhant’s work ‘is thoroughly researched and detailed,’ it is noteworthy to mention that the key team, besides Sidhant Kapoor, comprised of a Norwegian violinist, a Korean cellist, an Italian pianist and singers from Japan, Greece, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Anastasios Michalis, a leading Baritone vocalist from Greece who played the character of Lord Shiva says, “It was an unforgettable experience and a landmark in my artistic journey so far. The work, whose theme was drawn from the didactic stories of the Indian Pantheon, blended celestial western polyphony with the spiritual musical language of the holy land of Bharat. It combined an atmosphere of otherworldliness with melodic beauty and robust structure, which is typical of classical plays. Honestly, it was more than an honour to be a part of this project, it was a blessing.” Speaking about Sidhant he adds, “Sid has already achieved much in the music world and we always expect great things from him. Despite his unquestionable music genius and his family heritage, he is humble and gentle. But apart from a music guru and dear friend, I have always regarded him as a little brother –yes, I am a bit older!”

Sidhant went about a characterization workshop, one of the most important aspects of preparing for the opera, where he explained the characters in detail to the performers as well as discussed what they thought about the lead characters of the opera. This lent a very unique personality to the opera. He also made the musicians and singers experiment with graphic scores in different ways using different Indian ragas. It was a unique experiment combining Indian ragas (scales) and graphic scores. "For this I introduced them to different Indian Audav ragas (Pentatonic scales) out of which they had to choose any one scale, the notes of which they would use to interpret the graphic score. They also had to keep one of the characters of the opera in mind while interpreting the graphic notation. In this way, even though all of them were interpreting the same graphic score, they all had different renditions of it," avers Sidhant Kapoor.

A photograph speaks more than a thousand words. Sidhant also made a storyboard of the tale so that the scenes are clearer to compose as well as to enable the performers to understand.

“The words were written in Hindi to retain the authenticity of the story. I spoke to my father Ruhan Kapoor who writes lyrics in Hindi and requested him to pen down the libretto for the opera. I also worked on the main characters and put the most relevant information about them in a document in order to share it with the singers much in advance so that they are familiar with the characterization. I also shared the story, the storyboard and the characterization with the entire team by emailing it to them so that they are kept informed about more details of the project and start their research on the subject and characters.”

Interestingly, even the costumes and props were shipped from India to London for the characters to retain the authenticity.

Admits Sidhant, “I was always intrigued by mythological stories and the one about Ganesha was my favourite.” Mahendra Kapoor actually started celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi at his home with pomp and fervour from 1990, the year his grandson Sidhant was born. This probably is another reason Sidhant Kapoor feels a strong connect with Lord Ganesha whose festivity and celebration have only grown stronger with time at the Kapoor residence.

"I am inspired by the way 'The Birth of Ganesha' was well-received by global audiences. I am thinking of a series to take Indian mythologicals to world audiences with my music. I hope to transcend borders and touch lives and hearts with the positivity and strength of character of these stories waiting to be told," concludes Sidhant Kapoor.

<![CDATA[The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power composer Bear McCreary reveals he spent 50 hours thinking about the spectacular background scores for the series ]]>https://bollyy.com/the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power-composer-bear-mccreary-reveals-he-spent-50-hours-thinking-about-the-spectacular-background-scores-for-the-series/

With The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power story progressing every week, fans can immerse themselves in an epic journey through Middle-earth's Second Age. The soundtrack, composition, and background score added to the journey's awe, leaving everyone in stupor - Jyothi Venkatesh

The top-notch music is brought to life by the popular Emmy Award-winning American composer Bear McCreary, who has previously given fantastic scores in franchises like Godzilla, and Battlestar Galactica and is now bringing his expertise to this one-of-a-kind series.

His fundamental challenge was to draw a connection with the original Trilogy of The Lord of The Rings, but also keep them very different to suit the Second Age. Sharing his process of creating the fantastic music, McCreary said, “I came up with a list of about 15 themes that I needed to write for the first season.

A post shared by Bear McCreary (@bearmccreary)

But it went up to a little more as I wanted to write to make the most sense to me. Initially I was tasked with scoring eight hours of drama, I was thinking about essentially 50 hours.”

Talking about bringing familiar and unfamiliar sounds from the series, McCreary said, “I was really excited at the possibility of exploring familiar sounds that we associate with the Peter Jackson films and Howard Shore's writing.

I did not want to unpleasantly surprise anybody. I thought ethereal light vocals for the elves, and deep male vocals for the dwarves, and a subtly Celtic influence for the Harfoots who would become our hobbits. So those were givens.

It was really interesting to work with colors that are new though, in particular Númenor, where there really wasn't a sound or even associated with Númenor. By using these sounds, I created something that is new to Tolkien fans.”

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is now streaming on Prime Video in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and other international languages. The first four episodes are available to stream now, with new episodes releasing weekly until the epic season final on October 14.

<![CDATA[“Hollywood Blockbuster Everything Everywhere All At Once all set to storm & create havoc in Indian Cinemas from 16th September” ]]>https://bollyy.com/hollywood-blockbuster-everything-everywhere-all-at-once-all-set-to-storm-create-havoc-in-indian-cinemas-from-16th-september/

Ever since the film opened in the United States in early 2022; everyone in India has been eagerly waiting for this kung-fu flick's Indian debut. Thanks to Independent Distributor Impact Films the release date has now been confirmed as 16th September 2022.

In global Cinema circles it’s already been called as the Best Film of the Year; some say it’s the Best Film of the decade, some other brand it as the Best Action Movie of the year.

One really needs to watch the film and decide as to why the World is going crazy over the film as it got declared the most successful Independent film of the year.

In fact it has recently crossed USD 100 Million on a worldwide basis. It’s the highest grossing film of the Independent US Producer/Distributor A24 Films till date.

EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is being brought into India by Impact Films the renowned Distributor of Foreign Language films in the Indian Subcontinent.

According to its founder and CEO Ashwani Sharma, “We were very clear right from the beginning that we are going to release this film on big screens rather than going straight to digital platforms as this film is a rare cinematic experience which needs to be enjoyed only in theaters.

It’s not coming on any OTT anytime soon as we may not license it before Academy Awards nominations are revealed.” He further adds,” CBFC has passed the film without any cuts thereby ending the reservations and curiosity of several audiences who were worried as to what might get chopped off.

It’s now the same version that’s being watched worldwide”. Impact Films also announced their Cannes acquisitions which include 2022 Palme d’ Or Winner TRIANGLE OF SADNESS by Ruben Ostlund, Korean Film BROKER by Hirokazu Koreeda and Iranian Film LEILA’S BROTHERS by Saeed Roustayi in India Sub Continent.

It’s the story of an exhausted Chinese American Woman who is swept up in an insane adventure, where she alone can save the world by exploring other universes connecting with the lives she could have led.

When the film opens, we meet Evelyn Wang (Yeoh) as a harried laundromat owner, living above her business in a cramped apartment and facing a mountain of paperwork amid an audit from the IRS.

She is stressed about her aging father (James Hong) coming to stay and struggles to listen to both her grown daughter Joy (Stephanie Hsu) and her tender-hearted husband Waymond (Ke Huy Quan).

But while meeting with an IRS agent (Jamie Lee Curtis), a strange occurrence involving her own husband pulls her into a multidimensional adventure that puts the fate of every universe in her hands—and also forces her to confront who she is to herself and her family.

At the core it’s a Mother Daughter Story and connects at an emotional level. It’s a rare film which has so many genres encompassed in its more than 2hours 20 minutes duration that a viewer gets exposed to Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy and Science Fiction; all at the same time. It’s a treat for the fans of Multiverse and has no other comparable film of its type.

Written & Directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, collectively known as Daniels; they have been writing and directing together for over a decade.

They’ve developed a reputation for combining absurdity with heartfelt personal stories. Oftentimes they incorporate a unique brand of visual effects and visceral practical effects into their genre blending projects.

They are known for the feature film SWISS ARMY MAN starring Daniel Radcliffe which went on to win the Directing Award at Sundance, received multiple nominations and gained a large cult following.

"If our script was a prayer, then our movie was a miracle, and the hands doing God's work belonged to the film crew/family." Daniels, the directing-duo on #EverythingEverywhere.

“We could say a million things about it, but the most simple, honest thing is it's about a mom learning to pay attention to her family in the chaos,” says Kwan. “One of our favorite things to do is make people feel emotional while looking at something that is absurd,” Scheinert says.

“Whenever we can pull that off it's just like, oh, what a fun feeling! We feel emotion, but we also feel this kind of mischievous joke has been pulled.”

The real star of the film is Chinese actress Michelle Yeoh who gives her performance of the lifetime. Michelle Yeoh is recognised as one of the greatest and the most successful actresses from the east post the success of CRAZY RICH ASIANS.

In Everything, Yeoh is unkempt, emotionally flayed, and put through the multiversal ringer in a role that is entirely singular within a prolific, decades-long international career. Daniels offered Yeoh a new way to see herself on-screen.

“I love working with younger directors because they don't see you in the conventional way,” Yeoh says. “They want to peel that onion and see what other layers there are, and then start throwing crazy things at you.”

In the film, Evelyn being played by Michelle becomes a Neo-like chosen one specifically because she is the single-most failed version of all her potential selves. “That gives her superpowers to be able to defeat the bad guy,” Kwan says.

“But,” Scheinert notes, “Mostly she gets distracted by all these lives that she wished she had led.” “It really felt like the script came alive when it became about the mom and it was Michelle as the lead,” says Scheinert.

For Evelyn, she has to confront a multiverse on the brink of collapse—an extreme manifestation of the sensory overload that the modern world is increasingly defined by—to see the family that has always been there.

“You have to go to the end of the world to find out what really matters to you: your daughter, your husband—would you make another choice?” Yeoh ponders.

The film is Produced by Jonathan Wang and Russo Brothers; Anthony Russo & Joe Russo. Through a quartet of movies within the Marvel Cinematic Universe; the Russos raised the bar for blockbuster filmmaking in artistry, scope and box office: Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019) are some of their landmark films.

Impact Films release, “Everything Everywhere All At Once” directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert starring Michelle Yeoh Stephanie Hsu Ke Huy Quan among others, in cinemas from 16th of September 2022.

Actress Markella Kavenagh who plays Elanor 'Nori' Brandyfoot in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power opened up on being a part of the Amazon Original series releasing on September 2 onwards - Jyothi Venkatesh

Prime Video’s highly-anticipated epic fantasy series, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is all set to make its way this week. As fans across the globe eagerly await the release, actress Markella Kavenagh who plays Elanor 'Nori' Brandyfoot, a Harfoot, who’s steering into an adventurous journey in Middle-earth Second Age.

Prime Video for the first time brings the Harfoots to life, and Markella Kavenagh revealed how it was a mix of challenges and learnings to be a part of the series.

“There are a lot of worlds and dynamic characters that will hopefully make for a really immersive and engaging cinematic experience.

Scope-wise, it will hopefully feel like you're watching something very cinematic and something that will feel like it should be either watched on a projector or a wall or a bigger screen if you're able to.

It is just something that feels like you're actually on the screen with us, that is what is manifested on screen,” shared Markella.

Offering a fanatical experience to viewers is not an easy task, hence the actors went to Scale Academy to prepare for the filming, where they took a multi-hour course on the tips and tricks of movie magic.

Revealing details about the same, Markella said, “I think actually realizing how we have scale doubles is quite surprising. We went through a scale academy where we were taught about the technicalities of scale work, and it is a major part of the story we tell.

Sometimes you know even though it looks like we're acting with each other, we may not be, it may be scale double or it might be them on a ledge, and that's quite surprising. We hope that the illusion will be fantastic,”.

Set thousands of years ahead of J.R.R Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, the series revolves around significant events in Middle-earth Second Age.

Created by J.D Payne, it features a sprawling ensemble cast including Morfydd Clark as Galadriel, Benjamin Walker as Gil-Galad, Cynthia Addai-Robinson as Míriel, Robert Aramayo as Elrond, Owain Arthur as Durin IV, Nazanin Boniadi as Bronwyn, Charles Edwards as Celebrimbor, Sophia Nomvete as Princess Disa, and Charlie Vickers as Halbrand, among several others.

Prime Video will premiere 2 episodes on September 2, 2022, while fresh episodes will release weekly in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and English, along with multiple international languages which will conclude on October 14.

Take the zany genius of director George Miller, add the royal charm of Idris Elba and the elegant excellence of Tilda Swinton, and what do you get? Well, if their upcoming release is anything to go by, you get a madcap joyride filled with awe inspiring visuals!

‘Three Thousand Years of Longing’ tells the tale of Dr Alithea Binnie, a bookish and lonely scholar who happens to chance upon a mystical “Djinn”. Faced with the opportunity of having three wishes fulfilled, the “Djinn” and the scholar chart a trip down memory lane to see if magical wishes ever had a happy ending in history.

Schitt’s Creek – While this show may have its share of eccentric characters, there’s something that outshines everything. It’s the friendship between David and Stevie - Jyothi Venkatesh

Sure, the two simply couldn’t stand each other in the beginning, but the bond that formed between them over time is something to look up to. Here are some moments from Schitt’s Creek that are basically friendship goals!

You can count on me - In a Season 3 episode, Stevie’s great-aunt passes away and she’s in charge of all the funeral arrangements. She finds herself in quite a pickle and is at a loss for what to do.

This is when David offers to help her out and stands by her side throughout the ceremony. He even drives all the way with Stevie to bring her great-aunt’s ashes.

In a vulnerable moment later, Stevie feels like she’s unloved and will die alone just like her great-aunt.

However, David comforts her by saying she is different and takes a friendly jab at her by saying it's because of her choice of a friend in him! Don’t we all need someone to lift us up when we fall?

You are my best friend - In an episode from Season 4, David is dealing with a weird situation with Patrick and has no idea how to deal with it. Sensing his unease, Stevie has just the solution for him: spa day!

During this session, Stevie assures David that he had been with the wrong people throughout his life, and having Patrick is the best thing that ever happened to him.

This is when David realises that he has found his best friend in Stevie. We all need that one friend who tells us when we’re wrong and help us become better!

You have my blessing - Season 5 sees a mix of emotions and that one proposal that no one saw coming: Patrick goes down on one knee and asks David to become his partner for life!

An ecstatic David then rushes to tell the big news to Stevie, who is just preparing for a performance in Cabaret. Stevie gets emotional and rushes out and reaches mere minutes before showtime. Why? She went off to get David his proposal gift: monogrammed towels.

Much to David’s surprise, it turns out that Stevie already knew about the proposal as Patrick asked her for her blessings in her marriage. A friend is as good as a family, sometimes even better!

I will always be there for you - In this Season 6 episode, Stevie and David sit on the bonnet of the car, gazing at the new house Patrick bought him. While touched, a tearful David still feels that he has to return to New York and prove to his friends that he’s won in life.

Stevie is heartbroken at the thought of David leaving Schitt’s Creek and begs him to stay back. The two end up sobbing and realise how much they mean to each other. In good times and bad, in sickness and in health, it’s not a life partner but a best friend that counts.

<![CDATA[Prime Video's The Boys cast breaks silence on Season 4 after a fantastic season 3 finale ]]>https://bollyy.com/prime-videos-the-boys-cast-breaks-silence-on-season-4-after-a-fantastic-season-3-finale/

After a month of thrill, the finale of Amazon Prime Video's anti-superhero series, The Boys Season 3, was released on July 8. While the boys fought it out dramatically with Homelander and Soldier Boy, Homelander killed Black Noir! - Jyothi Venkatesh

The explosive conclusion of Season 3 has left fans teeming with numerous questions on what lies ahead. Likewise, the showrunner and the cast have spilled the beans, touching upon Soldier Boy's return, Butcher's survival, Victoria Neuman as Vice President, and a lot more.

First up, the biggest question is - will Soldier Boy return in Season 4? He had a major showdown with The Boys, but Grace Mallory laid him on the ice to save him. So, his fate in Season 4 has been the most talked about.

But Jensen Ackles a.k.a. the Soldier himself has 'no answer' for this great question. "I don’t think (Eric Kripke) ever wants to close any door. So, keeping that door open a crack for Soldier Boy to use, in whatever capacity that fits, is something that I think he would do as a writer.

I don’t know what the future holds for Soldier Boy. I think that’s all being worked out right now, as to how or when or why that character will be used in the future," commented Ackles.

Every fan is worried about Butcher, who has kept his diagnosis hidden. Will season 4 have Butcher say farewell, or will there be a cure for Temp V? Hoping that things fall in place, actor Karl Urban said, "It’s going to be interesting to see how Butcher deals with it.

I immediately like where it’s going in terms of his first instinct, which is to conceal it. Hopefully, he figures out a way to fix it. If anybody can figure out a way, it’s Butcher."

Another question bothering viewers is: will Victoria Neuman rule over the Vice President's chair? Things will turn dirty if this super-powerful villain does and Homelander supports her in all her evil actions.

Revealing the secret, actress Claudia Doumit said she's nervous too about the high stakes now, as Victoria is in no way out of danger. "She’s right in the eye of the hurricane right now. I’ll see when I get the scripts. But she’s on a path of, not redemption, but a darker one," Doumit shared.

Erin Moriarty, who plays Starlight, said that her character has become more powerful than ever before, which will be a game-changer. "She has powers maybe that are beyond what she’s even aware of.

The cool thing is Hughie is the person who makes her aware of that and empowers her at that moment. They go through a hiccup where he feels emasculated by her power, and this is him making the redemptive move of empowering her in this amazing moment, where she’s able to fly," Moriarty mentioned.

Season 3 saw Starlight join The Boys team, and now viewers are wondering if she'll transform into a new superhero or move ahead as Annie January.

Commenting on the same, Moriarty said, "I was really glad when she threw that down the trash. That’s the costume she’s had since she was a little girl that her mom made.

She needs to throw it away and find her identity without the influence of Vought and her mother. I can’t see her going back to working for Vought.

She’s done working with the corrupt, evil corporation, and evil people. I hope she either remains as Annie or develops a superhero entity that’s outside of Vought.”

A-Train has seen a lot as well. From his brother abandoning him to Homelander killing the Black Noir, will his loyalties towards the Vought change? Hinting about what's next for A-Train, actress Jessie T. Usher shared, "There’s another side. He could very much join Victoria Neuman.

She’s also all-powerful. At the end of the day, she could take Homelander out. She’s not really with the Boys, and certainly not with Vought. She’s for herself. Maybe he says, ‘I don’t believe in what the Boys are doing. I don’t want to stay in Vought. I can work with you’."

Last but not the least, viewers are baffled about Deep's loyalty towards Homelander. The country landed into trouble after Victoria Neuman rose to power. Still, Deep stays blindfolded about the whereabouts.

Sharing his thoughts, actor Chace Crawford said, “I think he knows in his mind that there’s a line there, but I don’t think he has a choice. There wasn’t enough time to play the thought process there or what went into it, but he’s worked so hard.

He’s seen what it’s like to be kicked to the curb and be that D-list, washed-up supe in Sandusky, Ohio. I think he’s so afraid to go back to that place, now he’s gotten back in there. His position is so tenuous still with Homelander, he’ll do anything. Homelander obviously knows that and is manipulative and always, testing his loyalty.”

All episodes of The Boys S3 are currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu in 240+ countries and territories worldwide.

<![CDATA[WANT TO BINGE WATCH ALL OF THE LORD OF THE RINGS MOVIES AHEAD OF THE AMAZON ORIGINAL SERIES THE RINGS OF POWER? HERE'S HOW AND WHERE YOU CAN GET IT ]]>https://bollyy.com/want-to-binge-watch-all-of-the-lord-of-the-rings-movies-ahead-of-the-amazon-original-series-the-rings-of-power-heres-how-and-where-you-can-get-it/

Come September 2, 2022, Amazon Prime Video is all set to premiere its much-anticipated fantasy extravaganza, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Set thousands of years before the events of Peter Jackson’s movies, the new Amazon Original series has gotten all J.R.R. Tolkien fans jumping with excitement - Jyothi Venkatesh

Though based on Middle Earth, it explores the untapped Second Age that began it all. Fans of the franchise who are looking to jump back into the films to refresh their memories on the mesmerizing world and intriguing concepts can fret not, as we’ve got you covered.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

This is where it all began and turned The Lord of the Rings into a cult franchise. The first installment of the trilogy brings the story of Frodo Baggins (a meek hobbit) and his journey to station the One Ring to its ultimate destination-- Mount Doom. But the route is not easy.

Some elves, wizards, dwarves, and monsters bombard Frodo and his eight companions with situations they've never faced before. As the species test Frodo and his companions, they show remarkable enthusiasm and courage, and that's the highlight.

A part of Modor, Mount Doom is the only place where the existence of the Ring of Power can come to an end, and Middle-Earth can be saved from The Dark Lord Sauron's wrath.

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring sets the premise for Tolkien's trilogy. The film stars Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Bean, and Cate Blanchett in pivotal roles.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)

The adventurous journey to destroy the One Ring in Mount Doom continues, but is bifurcated into three parts. Frodo and Sam move towards Mount Doom to end the One Ring, where they're joined by the ring's former keeper, Gollum (Andy Serkis).

On the other hand, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli bump into Gandalf, and they together fight Sauron's evil at the battle of Helm's Deep. Merry and Pippin, escape from the orcs, come across Treebeard, and plot an attack on the fortress of Saruman, Isengard.

The three intense storylines created an adrenaline rush among fans and kept them on the edge of their seats.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)

The last in the LOTR capper, fantasy enthusiasts admire The Return of the King like no other project. Filled with unmatched action, drama, battles, and scenic views, the third installment of the LOTR trilogy left everyone in a tizzy.

It sees Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli keeping their best foot forward to fight the dangerous battle against the Dark Lord Sauron and his forces in a final attempt. All this is only done to give Frodo and Sam to complete their mission.

Will Frodo be successful or will Sauron overpower him, is a hair-raiser. Touted to be the best in fantasy history, it is loved by critics and fans alike.

After watching three films, if you're stuck in the Middle earth and want more and more, The Hobbit trilogy will really get you in the groove too.

If you want to relive the three fantastic films by binging away your night, make sure you set aside 9 hours and 18 minutes to watch Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, and Return of the King on Amazon Prime Video.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will be available to stream from September 2 onwards in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.

<![CDATA[What If 'Thor: Love and Thunder' was made with a Bollywood starcast!? ]]>https://bollyy.com/what-if-thor-love-and-thunder-was-made-with-a-bollywood-starcast/

Thor: Love and Thunder starring Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman is creating tremendous buzz worldwide. The makers of the film first surprised Indian fans by announcing that the film will release one day prior in India.

They've recently also announced that a 96 hour marathon of the film is on cue, for 4 consecutive days starting from 7th July, 2022.

The film will not only mark the reunion of actor-director duo Chris Hemsworth-Taika Waititi 5 long years after the success of 'Thor: Ragnarok' but also Chris Bale’s big MCU debut as deadly villain, Gorr the God Butcher.

With 'Thor: Love and Thunder' receiving immense love and excitement from Indians, and Indian origin actors like Farhan Akhtar and Kumail Nanjiani making their way to the MCU, we couldn't help but wonder which Bollywood actor could fill the boots of the Thor: Love and Thunder characters, if Marvel Studios were re-casting and considering a Bollywood actor for any of the roles in the movie.

1) Hrithik Roshan as Thor

If there was no minute to waste, one could cast Hrithik as Thor almost immediately, if they wanted to. Not only does he have the experience of playing a superhero in his kitty, he has the perfect charm, potential and on-screen presence to play the muscular Asgardian God. He has a chiseled Godbod and his passion for action is also unparalleled.

2) Priyanka Chopra as Mighty Thor

Natalie Portman's Mighty Thor will be seen as the powerful and muscular female version of Thor in the upcoming Marvel extravaganza, Thor: Love and Thunder. Her feminine and all-powerful look is testament to the fact that women can don action roles and be just as good.

The last time someone broke that mold, it was none other than Piggy Chops who kicked some a** on Quantico and also led the Hollywood show, showcasing her talent of brains and brawn!

Physically too, we can totally visualise the petite actor bulking up to look exactly like Portman's Mighty Thor.

3) Taapsee Pannu as King Valkyrie

King Valkyrie is an honest, fierce and an outspoken character, always standing up for what's right. In the industry, Taapsee Pannu has done various physically challenging roles and also has the personality of the ultimate Delhi Kudi who’s outspoken and fears nobody just like Valkyrie. Moreover, their temperament for action totally fits too!

4) Shahid Kapoor as Gorr

Gorr was a pious character who then transformed into a despicable villain. Shahid Kapoor's character in Haider also transformed from a positive note to a negative one which makes his journey similar to Gorr's making him the perfect choice for the role.

5) Pankaj Kapur as Zeus

Zeus is the head of all the Gods in Greek mythology, he’s extremely strong-headed and determined. Pankaj Kapur is perfect to play the part of Zeus as he’s known for excelling in his craft and portraying characters that are powerful, egotistical and larger than life.

Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder will release in India on 7th July (a day before US release) in 6 languages: English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.

<![CDATA[Chris Hemsworth “Couldn’t Take His Eyes Off” the Thor Co-star, Christian Bale... By Mehak Reejonia ]]>https://bollyy.com/chris-hemsworth-couldnt-take-his-eyes-off-the-thor-co-star-christian-bale-by-mehak-reejonia/

Christian Bale has donned a new look for the latest Marvel flick, Thor: Love and Thunder. His character ‘Gorr’ is about to kill you with his looks.

Marvel is back with the upcoming superhero movie, Thor: Love and Thunder. The titular superhero Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth revealed that the Oscar-winning, Dark Knight actor, Christian Bale is something of a vision. Playing the latest Marvel villain in the movie, Bale will be portraying the role of “Gorr the God Butcher”.

In a recent interview with IGN, Hemsworth shared that “Everything you'd imagine (Christian Bale) would bring to it”. He adds “Nuance and complexity and truth, levity. He's one of my favorite actors working, and I was so excited he agreed to jump on board here. What he's done is that he's definitely one of my favorite villains in the Marvel universe.”

Chris Hemsworth also confesses that “there’s so much drama and insanity around Gorr, but Christian Bale managed to pull the focus right into each moment. You can’t take your eyes off him.

The character is fascinating because, like all good villains, Gorr has a point. He may not be going about it the right way, but there’s empathy in the script and Christian brought so many more layers and so much more depth to Gorr”.

Directed by the quirky Taika Waititi and produced by Kevin Feige, Thor: Love and Thunder is releasing on 7th July 2022 in India. It stars Chris Hemsworth, Christian Bale, Tessa Thompson, Russell Crowe, Natalie Portman, Taika Waititi, and more.

<![CDATA[As we wait for the upcoming thriller series The Terminal List, here are 5 action-thrillers of Chris Pratt that you should definitely watch ]]>https://bollyy.com/as-we-wait-for-the-upcoming-thriller-series-the-terminal-list-here-are-5-action-thrillers-of-chris-pratt-that-you-should-definitely-watch/

When Chris Pratt started off as goofy and lovable sidekick in the rom-coms, nobody would have thought that he would become an equally loved action hero - Jyothi Venkatesh

From Avengers: Infinity Wars to The Tomorrow War, Chris has carved a niche for himself as an action hero, and with his upcoming Amazon Original Series, The Terminal List, Chris is on his way to cement his place as the bankable action star.

While the trailer of the series looks promising, we still have two weeks to go before the release of the series. Meanwhile, here’s the list of 5 action-thrillers starring Chris Pratt that have catapulted him into an action hero.

Zero Dark Thirty

In 2021, Chris starred as a soldier in the political thriller Zero Dark Thirty. The film chronicled the extensive intelligence mission to track down Osama bin Laden in which Chris played one of the soldiers who took part in the eventual assassination mission.

The film’s incredible attention to detail in retelling of the real-thriller story makes it stand out. Despite knowing how it ends, the film manages to keep the audience on the edge.

The Magnificent Seven

The Magnificent Seven was a remake of Seven Samurai starring Chris Pratt as a member of a band of cowboys who are hired to protect a small town from an evil baron. While the film was not as ‘magnificent’ as the original one, the film’s cast, action sequences and the background score were highly praised.

The Tomorrow War

The Tomorrow War is an alien invasion story clubbed with an element of time travel that received a thumbs up from the audience and critics alike.

Chris plays a man recruited to fight an invasion taking place in the future and gives us a memorable performance. Tautly choreographed action sequences, and solid performances by the star cast puts this film on our watchlist.

Guardians of the Galaxy

Brash space adventurer Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) finds himself the quarry of relentless bounty hunters after he steals an orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain. To evade Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with four disparate misfits. The film is a complete riot from start to finish and was praised for its screenplay, direction, acting, humour, soundtrack, visual effects, and action sequences.

Avengers: Infinity War

Chris Pratt took his Guardians of the Galaxy character Peter Quill ahead in Avengers: Infinity War.

The superhero film received praise for its stunning visual effects, action sequences, and the emotional weight that it carried. Chris managed to leave a mark even with a comparatively smaller role in the film.

With such hard hitting action thrillers to his name, we cannot wait to watch Chris Pratt taking us through yet another adventure with The Terminal List.

<![CDATA[REVIEW: JURASSIC PARK DOMINION ]]>https://bollyy.com/review-jurassic-park-dominion/

Producers- Frank Marshall, Patrick Crowley

Director- Colin Trevorrow

Star Cast-Sam Neill, Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jake Johnson, Laura Den, Daniella Pineda, Dichen Lachman

Genre-Adventure

Platform of Release- Theatrical

Rating-**1/2

Jyothi Venkatesh

A bunch of visitors (old cast members of Jurassic franchise meet the new) must expose, survive and escape a dinosaur facility called Biosyn sanctuary (an evil group of corporates involved in genetic mutation and research), in order to restore ecological balance and protect the food chain.

The film is set in the neo-Jurassic Age where humans and dinosaurs must learn to live together.

Biosyn’s bizarre genetic mutations threaten to disrupt the coexistence and set out to unleash a lethal locust plague that can destroy the balance of nature.

Biosyn is located in the middle of a snowy mountainous area but there is also a tropical forest surrounding it, inhabited with angry, scary, dinosaurs.

Foreseeing this crisis, the big three of the dinosaur universe — Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), reunite to infiltrate the private valley hoping to avert the ecological disaster.

If you care to recall and remember, the story takes off with the last film, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, where Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), now a dinosaur-boy, trains the ancient animals as if they were cows.

Owen lives in a perfect home in the woods, with his love interest Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard).In the meanwhile, Jurassic’s new age duo — Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) also head to Biosyn in order to rescue their teenaged girl with a hidden past, Maisie (Isabella Sermon), who has been kidnapped for being a ‘valuable intellectual property’.

Not every sequel can match up to the original but even if you overlook the story, Colin Trevorrow does give you what you expect from the climax — nail biting survival action, fear and emotional bond.

By the way, the same director Colin Trevorrow (script writer of the Jurassic World trilogy) had earlier directed our own Irrfan Khan in the first part of the film way back in 2015.

The crowded and chaotic survival saga comes alive only in the second half, which sets out to clone the original.

The big three must escape the dinosaur island on a helicopter while babysitting a kid and Ellie and Alan must rekindle their erstwhile romance.

Steven Spielberg set the bar too high way back in 1993; when he first introduced us to a fictional dinosaur island aka Jurassic Park and how a bunch of visitors must survive while on a tour, once things go awry.

But the sequel does try to live up to the expectations, though in the multiple installments that followed over the years, the solo aim was to capitalize on the success of the original without at least bothering to rebuild the survival thriller franchise.

There are moments which take you back to Spielberg's original thrilling adventure. And you will remember how the first Jurassic Park gave us a fabulous summer blockbuster experience quite unlike anything Hollywood had offered until that time.

To sum up, I’d say that Jurassic World Dominion is full of coincidences, convenient solutions and illogical jumps in the script but yet it is worth watching, especially when you consider and take in your mind what the other options or choices are for you.
