Rasika Dugal is one of the most striking faces in the firmament of Indian entertainment and has a checkered career in cinema and on the small screen. Always eager to push boundaries, she now stars in award-winning director Karan Gour’s film ‘Fairy Folk’ which will hit Indian screens on March 1. The film has already won wide acclaim at the Sydney Film Festival, the Chicago International Film Festival, Mami (Mumbai), and the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, and will now enjoy a theatrical release across Mumbai, Delhi, Goa, Kolkata, and Bengaluru.

The two play a couple caught in a rather surreal situation when a genderless being enters their life and turns it upside down.

The year 2023 saw a string of performances that touched a note in our hearts. In our annual tradition of acknowledging the best acts, films, performances, and scenes offered by some of the best films of the year, we are back with Koimoi Audience Poll 2023.
Last year saw some brilliant films like 12th Fail and some commercial blockbusters like Animal. But amidst all the chest-thumping, some performances did not reach the public eye or took a lot of time and effort to reach the audiences.
Still, they made an impact strong and cemented their position in the audience’s hearts as well. These performances need all the applause irrespective of whether the films they were a part of were commercially taken off or tanked.

Netflix has released its Top 10 for the week of March 27, and it was little to no surprise that Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston‘s comedy sequel “Murder Mystery 2” entered the English language films chart in first place. After all, the original 2019 movie was such a huge hit for Netflix.
The action-comedy sequel entered the charts with 64.4 million hours viewed, the second-biggest launch for a comedy film with 42 million views, appearing in the Top 10 in 91 countries with it being the #1 movie in more than 60 of those countries.
Right behind it was the original “Murder Mystery” with 24.7 million hours viewed globally, and the previous #1 movie “Luther: The Fallen Sun” with 12.7 million viewing hours. The lack of strong family films in theaters allowed four animated films to get into the Top 10 with Netflix’s “The Magician’s Elephant” leading the pack with 6.3 million viewing hours.

Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga is an action thriller movie directed by Ajay Singh, starring Yami Gautam and Sunny Kaushal.
A simple thriller that from the first bars does not deceive: it goes absolutely nowhere and does not have the slightest intention of showing us anything new, neither about the human condition nor about cinema.
Entertaining? Well, just about, although if we have to give it the benefit of the doubt from some angle or other, we can do so for the plot twists, which, without being novel, do give it the (almost) necessary zest.
El Vuelo de los Ladrones Movie Review
A story that starts out simple, showing a classic Bollywood, and that, little by little, twists towards a less simple thriller, one that is less about “good guys” and “bad guys”, and it does so in an interesting and even entertaining set of character transitions.

Ahmedabad, Oct 2 (Ians) Hinaben Khalifa became only the second woman wrestler from Gujarat to clinch a National Games medal and the hosts also bagged the badminton mixed team bronze on a day when five Games Records were broken in the swimming pool.
