Savi Review: Anil Kapoor Manages To Be One Of The Bright Spots Of Harshvardhan Rane, Divya Khossla's Film

Image
A gender-reversed, Indian mythology-inspired adaptation of the jailbreak thriller The Next Three Days (2010), which was in turn a remake of the French film Pour Elle (Anything for Her, 2008), Savi huffs and puffs its way through the tale of a homemaker who fights tooth and nail to get her murder convict-husband out of a high-security Liverpool prison. In terms of its technical attributes, Savi lacks nothing. Cinematographer Chinmay Salaskar and editor Shan Mohammed lend the film sustained gloss and pace. Director Abhinay Deo, working with an adapted screenplay by Parveez Shaikh and Aseem Arora, does more than his bit and adds a shiny veneer to the film. It is at the plot level that Savi is found wanting. It is undone by a slew of cliches. All the polish that is visible in Savi is strictly on the surface. The flourish and sparkle inherent in the making cannot offset the vacuity at the film's core. As the story of an ordinary woman determined to give her husband a new lease of l...

Sudhanshu Pandey On Rumours Of Anupamaa Producer Favouring Him: "I Would Have Taken Advantage Of It"

Sudhanshu Pandey, best known for his portrayal of Vanraj Shah in the highly popular television show Anupamaa , recently discussed how the show has impacted his life. He also addressed rumours about the show's producer Rajan Shahi favouring him and his potential departure from the show. In a chat with Siddharth Kannan , Sudhanshu said, "If I got so much importance from Rajan, who is my old and good friend, and if we had so much closeness and love then I myself would have played the role of Anupamaa. So people who think I get much more importance from Rajan, they are wrong." Sudhanshu added, "I am not Anupamaa, I don't drape a saree. That's Rupali. I am Vanraj Shah and I will continue to be that. And I believe Rajan Shahi is a very sorted producer and a human being and he will never compromise on his show for any emotional reason. This is extremely wrong that he favours me. If that was the case then I would have taken advantage of it, I would have asked him to...

Payal Kapadia's meditative film about two Mumbai nurses went on to bag the Grand Prix, the second highest honour at Cannes after the top prize Palme d'Or (won by Sean Baker's "Anora").

"I'm not sure at this point, but it was probably me," she said. "Someone from Mumbai called and joked, 'You were dancing as if you were in y...
