something thatâs rich enough and that could mature properly so that when I go back to the movie as an older person whether itâs two weeks or two years or 20 years from now Iâve changed enough and itâs a new movie That for me is the pinnacle bro I was listening to blues music constantly while I was writing the script and making this movieâHe further mentioned âYou get a phenomenal blues song and you just play that s again You run it back Itâs not like âAh when are you gonna make a sequel to this songâ You want it again you go back to it And as you get older maybe it reminds you of the first time

Cast Agastya Nanda Dharmendra Jaideep Ahlawat Simar Bhatia Duration 143 Minutes Rating 45 stars Writer Sriram Raghavan Arijit Biswas Pooja Ladha Surti Directed by Sriram Raghavan Ikkis is a controlled chaos a deeply moving biographical war drama that chooses reflection over loud jingoism Based on the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetrapal Indias youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient the film tells a human story about courage loss memory and the complex emotional life after war The makers have intentionally opted to treat the subject with dignity sensitivity and thoughtfulness rather then turning it into a blaring patriotic statement The film takes place across two time periods and this structure becomes one of its strongest storytelling devices The first timeline takes us during the Battle of Basantar in December 1971 where 21yearold Arun Khetarpal leads his tank regiment through heavily mined terrain against overwhelming odds These sequences are tense and grounded focusing less on spectacle and more on the mental state of a young officer who suddenly takes on enormous responsibility of defending his country in a war which is chaotic and unforgivingAgastya Nanda plays the role of Arun Khetarpal a young handsome honest and driven officer with gleam in eyes and heart full of bravery There is no forced heroism in his portrayal he is earnest and real he is someone who just found his calling though little too overzealous at times but that aspect of his character is deliberateHis bravery emerges naturally through action and decision making His refusal to leave his burning tank even after being ordered to retreat feels less like a dramatic flourish and more like an inevitable consequence of who he is Nanda fits role well bringing a rawness that makes Arunâs sacrifice feel painfully realThe second timeline set in 2001 provides the emotional spine of the film Dharmendra plays Brigadier M L Khetarpal Arunâs father now decades away from the battlefield but still carrying its weight When he meets Brigadier Khwaja Mohammad Nasir played with quiet authority by Jaideep Ahlawat the film moves into unexpected territory This portion of Ikkis is not about politics or historical scorekeeping but about two soldiers shaped by the same war contemplating life after so much chaosJaideep Ahlawat delivers one of the filmâs most compelling performances His character is dignified reflective and deeply aware of the cost of war The interactions between him and Dharmendra are handled with remarkable sensitivity Their shared moments walking through old neighborhoods visiting places shaped by memory and finally standing at the site of the Battle of Basantar form the emotional peak of the filmDharmendraâs performance deserves special mention His presence brings a quiet gravity that cannot be manufactured Without relying on heavy dialogue he conveys grief pride nostalgia and unresolved sorrow through small gestures and silences Knowing this is his final film role only deepens the emotional impact His scenes with Ahlawat are among the most moving depictions of postwar reconciliation seen in Indian cinema precisely because they feel unforcedThe VFX in Ikkis is used with restraint enhancing realism rather than drawing attention to itself The tank warfare sequences feel immersive and grounded capturing the weight danger and claustrophobia of armored combat without resorting to excessive spectacle Every explosion and maneuver serves the narrative reinforcing the chaos of battle while keeping the focus firmly on the soldiers inside the machinesThe background score and music play a subtle but crucial role in shaping the filmâs emotional landscape The BGM never attempts to overwhelm the scene instead it gently underlines moments of tension loss and introspection During the war sequences the score remains restrained allowing the sounds of tanks explosions and commands to carry the weight In the quieter moments particularly in the 2001 timeline the music becomes sparse and reflective The dialogues follow a similar philosophy measured purposeful and free of theatrical excess Several lines linger not because they are dramatic but because they are honest and spoken at the right momentSriram Raghavanâs direction is marked by restraint and confidence He trusts the material and his audience allowing silences and pauses to speak as loudly as words The screenplay cowritten by Raghavan Arijit Biswas and Pooja Ladha Surti is tightly constructed balancing two timelines without losing emotional continuity Every scene feels intentional whether it advances the narrative or deepens character understanding Performances across the board are strong and special mention must be made of debutante Simar Bhatia as Kiran Arun Khetarpalâs love interest Her role is limited in screen time but emotionally significant offering a glimpse of the life Arun could have had She brings warmth and sincerity to the character never turning it into a distraction from the larger storyFrom a production standpoint Ikkis reflects Maddock Filmsâ growing confidence in backing meaningful contentdriven cinema Known primarily for genre experimentation the studio takes a bold step here by supporting a film that prioritizes emotional truth over commercial formula The attention to detail respect for historical context and willingness to tell a nuanced story speak to a production house that understands the responsibility that comes with such subject matter Ikkis feels like a film made with care rather than calculationIkkis is a film about humanity surviving conflict It speaks to love grief duty and belonging emotions that exist beyond borders and uniforms By choosing empathy over anger and memory over messaging the film achieves something rare for the genre It honors sacrifice without glorifying violence and respects history without weaponizing it IANS

Bollywood actress Chitrangda Singh who has a fantastic 2025 with âHousefull 5â âParikramaâ and âRaat Akeli Hai The Bansal Murdersâ said that she feels grateful that even a relatively small body of work has stayed with audiences over the years In an industry often guided by numbers frequency and visibility Chitrangda who says she is thankful that even though she has done limited work people have remembered her believes that memorability comes from the impact of a performance rather than its lengthTalking about choosing roles that prioritise depth over screen time and how she protects her instinct in an industry obsessed with numbers Chitrangda told IANS âI think slowly everybody is realizing that its not just the amount of work you do or the numbers that really make you memorable Sometimes just one scene kind of eats into a bigger part as well and makes a markThe actress shared that while visibility is important it is ultimately the quality of work that enduresâHaving said that I know its the most ideal way of saying you still need visibility and you know roles that people can remember and not just one or two scenes But you know I think a mix of both works I feel good work is always rememberedâFrom her debut in 2003 with Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi where her quiet layered performance earned her instant recognition to films like Yeh Saali Zindagi and Inkaar Chitrangda has consistently gravitated towards characters with emotional complexityHer role in âRaat Akeli Hai The Bansal Murdersâ which released earlier this month stood out for its restraint and inner tension once again reinforcing her belief that even measured performances can leave a deep imprintâPeople dont tend to forget good work I think for me I feel very thankful that jitna bhi kaam kiya even though its less but people have remembered and maybe somewhere good work gets you more work Work gets you work but good work probably gets you more work for a longer time maybeâ she saidSpeaking about Raat Akeli Hai The Bansal Murders in particular Chitrangda also reflected on how the film navigated female representation within noir storytelling a genre where women are often boxed into predictable roles She felt Raat Akeli Hai managed to move away from that binary of portraying women solely as victims or manipulatorsâI think maybe it has something to do with the fact that we have a female writer Smita Singh has done such an amazing job but I dont want to keep this gender specific I think sometimes there are men also who do you know some interesting characters But having said that I feel that maybe that is what is exciting and differentâChitrangda concluded âOtherwise its very easy to plant a woman who could be devious and you know become the obvious suspectâ IANS

would have done one project in Hollywood where I would have done nude scenes it would have blocked a lot of my other projects I knew that So I feel that if I have already tapped into the Hollywood

thoughts on the changing dynamics of moviegoing highlighting how rising cinema ticket prices are impacting theatre footfalls Speaking exclusively to IANS the âDil To Pagal Haiâ actress emphasized that while quality films continue to draw audiences the increasing cost of tickets is making families more selective about which films to watch in theatres especially with the convenience of OTT platforms at home Madhuri also pointed out that with OTT platforms movies are easily available at home making it more convenient to watch them after workThe 58yearold actress explained that for many people by the time they get home from work in the evening itâs already late so weekends have become the main time to visit theatresMadhuri Dixit shared âIf the film is good it will run and you have seen a few films running now in the theatres So its not as if films are not running I think if you go to see that even the cost of the tickets is very high So when one family goes there they have to spend a lot of money So they really have to budget and think which film to watch and which not to watchââAlso because of OTT you know movies are at your fingertips Youre watching it at home whenever you want when you get the time Nowadays even coming from work for people by the time they get home it is 830 900 After that going to watch a film has become a little difficult Weekends is the time when they can actually go when they have vacationsââSo all these things and they can on OTT you can watch the film anytime you know you want at your convenience and I guess its cheaper to watch a film at home You can have all the popcorn and everything you know made at home and enjoy it So a lot of reasons But I dont think I dont see a bleak future I just think some things could be corrected and you know make the cinema experience better for the peopleâ added Madhuri IANS https://dailyworld.in/cinema/madhuri-dixit-explains-how-rising-cinema-ticket-prices-are-affecting-theatre-footfalls-655923.html Sun, 28

veteran filmmaker PT Kunhummuhammed of sexual misconduct has alleged that she is facing intense pressure from multiple quarters to withdraw her complaint and protect him The survivor has claimed that intermediaries approached her urging her to reconsider the case citing Kunhummuhammedâs age and health condition as reasons to show leniency According to the complainant the alleged incident occurred during the selection process for films at the International Film Festival of Kerala IFFK She stated that the filmmaker and former CPIM lawmaker behaved in an inappropriate and offensive manner prompting her to approach the authorities However she now alleges that instead of receiving support she has been subjected to emotional pressure and intimidation aimed at silencing her The survivor said that several individuals attempted to intervene on behalf of the accused requesting her to withdraw the complaint arguing that he is elderly and unwell I am being told repeatedly to let this go The pressure has become unbearable she said adding that she feels isolated and unsupported despite coming forward with a serious allegation She further alleged that from the very beginning the system appeared to be siding with the accused According to her the police delayed registering the case despite repeated complaints Even after I approached the authorities no action was taken for several days It was only after the issue became public through media reports that the police finally registered an FIR she said The survivor also alleged that even after the case was registered authorities deliberately allowed time for the accused to seek anticipatory bail indicating a lack of urgency and seriousness in handling the matter The Women in Cinema Collective WCC has publicly criticised the handling of the case In a statement the organisation pointed out that despite the survivor approaching the Chief Ministerâs Office no direct response or intervention was forthcoming The WCC also questioned the delay in registering the FIR stating that the police took nearly eight days to act despite having recorded the survivorâs statement The controversy has reignited discussions on

be will beâ Krystle praised Tamannaahâs talent and beauty while reflecting on how opportunities sometimes fall into place exactly as theyâre meant to When asked about reports claiming Tamannaah was rejected for the song the âChehreâ actress said she had no idea about the decision behind the scenes but praised Tamannaahâs talent calling her âamazingâKrystle shared âI had no idea about all this but I mean sheâs amazing sheâs beautiful and sheâs so good at what she does More power to her you knowâwhatâs written in someoneâs destiny they receive I feel like this was meant for me it was meant for Ayesha and we got it But that doesnât take away from how beautiful Tamannaah is or what a great performer she isââMaybe she would have added her own spark to a songâshe brings her own aura her own limelight and I think thatâs wonderful I feel proud of every woman who is doing so well and Iâd love to see more women deliver amazing crazy performances and support one anotherâ she addedKrystle

went viral he clarified on his Instagram stories that the âBaahubaliâ actress was never actually in the running for the songIn his statement the choreographer wrote âTo clarify Tamannaah Bhatia was never under consideration because her star power is so significant it might have overwhelmed the specific needs of this scene In Dhurandhar the music is woven into a highstakes moment where the tension is key The makers opted for two performers to keep the focus on the storyâs progression This choice was about protecting the filmâs atmosphere and ensuring the narrative remains the hero of the sequenceâVijay Ganguly added âI genuinely enjoy conversations around cinema and the many layers that go into making a film That said I have often refrained from putting myself out there because at times words get selectively lifted misquoted or sensationalised to serve headlines rather than the craft Itâs unfortunate that instead of the conversation staying on the song and the creative intent behind Shararat the focus has shifted to comparisons between two wonderful artists with strong and reductive terms like ârejectionsâ being usedâsomething that was never the spirit of what was sharedâHe concluded by saying âCinema is collaborative It thrives on respect nuance and context I hope we can keep the spotlight where it belongsâon the work and the many people who pour their hearts into itâ IANS https://dailyworld.in/cinema/krystle-dsouza-reacts-to-replacing-tamannaah-bhatia-in-dhurandhar-song-its-all-about-destiny-655948.html Sun, 28 Dec 2025 17:32:00 +0530

https://dailyworld.in/cinema/jamie-campbell-bower-on-vecnas-inspiration-in-stranger-things-5-655737.html Los Angeles Dec 26 Actor Jamie Campbell Bower who plays Vecna in âStranger Things 5â revealed that in the past pulled more from Dracula and other gothic vampire imagery when creating his version of the character but he had more specific references for latest season including Fred Rogers of âMister Rogers Neighborhoodâ I used The Shining so the Kubrickian stare was obviously something I was very eager to utilize even in season 4 the actor told the Entertainment Weekly He added For season 4 I used Funny Games â the American remake particularly the way that Brady Corbet and Michael Pitt hold themselves You can see that Iveborrowed Credit where credits dueFor season 5 Bower lists the 2020 horror film Alone about a woman trying to escape a bloodthirsty psychopath in the wilderness as well as actor Van Johnson in 1957s The Pied Piper of Hamelin as inspirationsThen there was the iconic childrens show host Mr Rogers was a really interesting reference because that actually bled into music as well Bower said He added I used Tom Hanks in A Beautiful Day In the Neighborhood but that score is really eerie as well with some real moments of spookBower recalls going through his phone and finding videos of himself on set preparing for season 5s Shock Jock scene as he walks down the staircase reports Entertainment Weekly There are videos of me â prior to getting there practicing trying things out seeing what would work I did it in two characters but wanted to make sure that the body was in the same place and that the movement was correct so that when its spliced together its not too wildHe also saw Vecna as an entirely separate form the manifestation of resentment or this vine around love as Bower describes it Id ask myself questions like Of all the things that could exist why recreate the house he said referring to the Creel family home where a young Henry killed his mother and sister and drove his father to madness What does that mean to him And what does home mean And what was that experience like for him as a child growing up where home could have been safe but wasnt And perhaps this is an opportunity for him to recreate that safetyBower continued If he sleeps where does he sleep Does he sleep in his old room Does he sleep in the attic Does he in a really icky way sleep in his parents room Then with the Henryness of it I think its going back to that innocence to that child and I suppose you could look at them as a development of a loss of innocence IANS https://dailyworld.in/cinema/jamie-campbell-bower-on-vecnas-inspiration-in-stranger-things-5-655737.html Fri, 26 Dec 2025 13:58:00 +0530
