Kafas(SonyLIV; 6 Episodes)
Kafas which means trapped, is the kind of scarcely-seen series which grips you from the word go. It clasps its tentacles around your neck squeezing the breath out of you.Calling it entertaining would be hugely problematic: you can’t be entertained by a 15-year child being traumatized by a Bollywood superstar.
The unspeakable truth about children being vulnerable outside their homes, even at a relatively safe workplace like a film set, haunts this deftly-told story which opens up its plot points like an onion.
Sadly, in this haunting plot set in the shallow sexually unmoored world of filmmaking, the set is not the only thing that is erect.
The paedophile/predator as a super-privileged superstar(a gutsy unapologetic performance by Vivan Bhatena) is shattering in its damaging repercussions. What makes the situation even worse is that the child’s parents, played by a wonderful Mona Singh...

ReviewThe visual effects in Bimbisara are tacky; the sets look like they were borrowed from a school annual day.Sowmya RajendranTwitterMallidi Vashishta’s debut film Bimbisara is about a king from 500 BC who arrives in our current world against his wishes. Full of ego and manic energy, he doesn’t spare anyone who stands in his way, be it a sparrow or a child. But unceremoniously removed from his position as the emperor of Trigarthala, he begins to discover humanity and the meaning of dharma. Now this sounds like a very profound idea but Bimbisara, at its heart, is a masala film. For the first 20 minutes or so, it plays out like a terrible stage play. The visual effects are tacky; the sets look like they were borrowed from a school annual day. I was worried that a strong breeze would be enough for the whole palace to collapse on the actors.

Sooryavanshi
Starring Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, Ranveer Singh
Direction by Rohit Shetty
Sooryavanshi peddles terrorism as a formula. When Muslim characters, mainly terrorists, appear on screen there is middle-eastern strain in the background, a rubaab strain can be heard in the distance. Sadly, Mohile’s enterprising spirit proves unequal to the film’s asinine aspirations to convert the currency of crossborder terrorism into a successful formula .Tragically Rohit Shetty and his team of writers which I am told includes an expert on political terrorism, seems to have hit bull’s eye. Going by the audiences’ reaction in the theatre,Rohit Shetty and Akshay Kumar have reason to rejoice.
Sooryavanshi plays the Good Muslim –Bad Muslim game with pitch-perfect aim. ‘Good Muslim’ Rajendra Gupta is pitched against ‘Bad Muslim’ Gulshan Grover in a chamber-room confrontation so clumsily orchestrated it looks like a Films Division propaganda film on communal harmony.
