Was this many days old when I learnt that Brahma AI is apparently an actual thing actually really.
Reports that some critics have cancelled their #Ramayana premiere screenings over the misconception that the film is AI-dubbed are deeply concerning.
The film has been dubbed by real artists. Brahma AI has been used only for lip-syncing, not for dubbing the dialogues.
@SonyPictures must urgently launch an international campaign to clarify this distinction. With growing resistance to AI-generated content in cinema, misinformation of this nature could seriously affect the film’s reception.
The audience deserves to know the truth before forming an opinion.

My favorite thing about camping is when I don't go and have running water and electricity instead.
Great chat on the triumphs and challenges of Indian indie cinema in 2026

Hope is a gonzo wild ride. A smashing creature feature that feels like two movies in one.
The first "half" is a single, breathless can't-look-away chase sequence that's essentially its own movie. From there it goes into more conventional world expansion and franchise building.

I'm so fed up of filmmakers staging horrendous violence (almost always towards women) as an excuse to show oppression and establish a heinous villain. It doesn't have the intended effect when you clearly Relish staging those scenes. You can feel them salivating at the ugliness
The Paradise opens with a pregnant women being hooked up to a car battery and electrocuted till she's literally forced to give birth...all in the name of showing oppression and introducing a violent villain.
And this is the movie I was excited for?

Reckless, messy, moral, turgid, forcefully stylish, and deeply rewarding, Dorothy has only expanded in my mind in the weeks since I’ve watched it.
Reviewed it, with spoilers. It is now streaming on Netflix.

Tells you everything about the main audience they're aiming for
Embargo for international press reviews for #Ramayana will get lifted on October 30. So, whoever is talking about it before 30th is breaching the embargo. 😕

Bose teaming up with Hitler and using Prabhas's unbreakable Gita-inspired code to counter the Brits was not on my movie bingo card

Prime Video’s Chaar Yaar is a middling, unimaginative crime thriller that refuses to go past second gear.
Prime Video's scrappy new crime thriller series #ChaarYaar is as middling, unimaginative and conventional as they come.

Udta Teer is too afraid to commit to the bit. an Add film but certainly not a surprising one. It (initially) leans into its spoofy, slapstick comedy and isn't afraid to have fun with (not necessarily make fun of) patriotism and animosity.
To treat the blood boiling with a charming lightness (Rahul Bose and Suhail Nayyar threaten to steal the show).
"This is when, as a viewer, you realise that the film becomes the very entity it appeared to parody. All the Muslim cartoon-baddies in the first half start to reflect the very demonisation you thought the film was spoofing"
