Movie Review – FANTASY ISLAND

Community News February 15, 2020February 14, 2020 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

The ‘three is a crowd’ dictum is amply demonstrated in ‘Fantasy Island’… with as many as three writers collaborating on the story, including the director, the film turns out to be a mishmash, convoluted end-product. And the title, which seems to suggest an animated, children’s film, couldn’t have been more misleading. Five ‘lucky contest winners’ […]

Film Review: DOWNTON ABBEY

Reviews October 19, 2019October 18, 2019 Hoshang K Katrak 0 Comments

“I never argue, I explain,” is just one of the many one-liners veteran actress Maggie Smith, as Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, gets to deliver in this reprisal of the hit British TV series, which aired in Britain from 2010 to 2015. It’s 1927, and what begins as a simple story of King George […]

Film Review: Diego Maradona

Reviews October 12, 2019October 11, 2019 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

Sifting through 500 hours of archival footage – most of it not seen before – Oscar-winning director Asif Kapadia, has constructed a lively and obsessive documentary about the world’s best-known footballer of the 80s. The film begins when SSC Napoli, a little-known football club in Italy, welcomes their newest recruit, 23-year-old Maradona on 5 July, […]

Film Review: Joker

Entertainment, Reviews October 5, 2019October 4, 2019 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

“For my whole life, I didn’t know if I even really existed,” – the reader would be forgiven if even a glimmer of likeness was to be found with similarly titled films! Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) is a part-time clown, part-time stand-up comedian, with minimal success in the latter vocation, but who’s grown up idolising […]

Film Review: HUSTLERS

Entertainment, Reviews September 28, 2019September 27, 2019 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

When a horde of scantily clad women descend (literally!) upon a guy, it could mean one of two things – either the guy is extremely good looking or well-heeled and gullible. ‘Hustlers’, scripted and directed by Lorene Scafaria, who had chanced upon an article by Jessica Pressler in the New York Magazine, lays bare the […]

Film Review: ABOMINABLE

Entertainment, Reviews September 28, 2019September 27, 2019 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

The mythical creature Yeti finds itself injured and lost on the rooftop of Shanghai-based, teenager Yi (voiced by Chloe Bennet), a violin player who does odd jobs to save up for a holiday trip. Yi, along with her young friends Jin (voice of Tenzing Norgay) and the playful Peng (voice of Albert Tsai) name it […]

Film Review: SECTION 375

Entertainment, Reviews September 14, 2019September 13, 2019 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

“Never fall in love with the law”, warns senior criminal lawyer Tarun Saluja (Akshaye Khanna) while delivering a guest lecture to law students. This scene quickly turns to a film set where well-known but domineering director Rohan Khurana (Rahul Bhatt) is at work. Jump to his residence where assistant costume designer Anjali Damle (Meera Chopra) […]

Discovering Identity: Creating Continuity

Special September 14, 2019September 13, 2019 PT Reporter 0 Comments

Twenty years ago, UNESCO requested me to create a programme on the Parsi Zoroastrians, as they realized that this community was facing demographic extinction. With the loss of culture, the world loses a part of its wisdom and UNESCO’s mandate was for us to record this culture. Even as a student and teacher of the […]

Film Review – CHHICHHORE

Entertainment, Reviews September 7, 2019September 6, 2019 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

The opening frames of the film could well serve as a reminder of the recent bounteous monsoon – with IIT students running around the hostel, clad only in underpants, drenching one another as if there was no tomorrow. Maya (Shraddha Kapoor) and Annirudh (Sushant Singh Rajput) were rank holders in 1992, but are now a […]

47 Meters Down: Uncaged

Entertainment, Reviews August 31, 2019August 30, 2019 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

It’s the sequel to the 2017 sleeper hit ’47 Meters Down’, where a couple of girls in a cage crash down into the ocean, with oxygen depleting. This one, for obvious reasons has a suffix: Uncaged. It involves four girls – twice the number, but with half the thrills and excitement. Mia (Sophie Nelisse) and […]
