Flix FlashbackEarly in her career, Lekha understands that everything in life comes with a price and she finds herself being systematically exploited by the system. Neelima MenonFilms about films are tricky. Often, they end up being self-indulgent and insider-y to the point of exclusion. But Kg George, when he made his first meta film, dodged all the traps and came up with a self-aware, self-reflective, unemotional look at the world of films. It follows the production process from the grimy underbelly of Kodambakkam studios to the marbled lobbies of five-star hotels where films are signed and celebrated. Lekhayude Maranam Oru Flashback opens with the black-and-white newsreel of a young actor’s death. Fans, film stars and technicians are trickling in, offering floral tributes accompanied by the strains of the shehnai as the dreary drone of a voice-over (which conspicuously sounds like the director’s) details how her body was found...

Two of the greatest actors in Malayalam, Bharath Gopi and Nedumudi Venu, were not known for their good looks. They were never called superstars. Still, during the '70s and '80s, they both played the lead actor in numerous movies. They also won several awards.
Their ability to transform to any character made sure any genre - comedy or drama - suited them equally well. Most importantly, they never minded playing second fiddle to other heroes even in their young age.
Most of these characteristics perfectly fit an actor of this generation- Fahadh Faasil.

Kaul gradually acquired a reputation of being cerebral and pretentious to the point of being termed a pseudo. Although there have been many instances of crowds staging group walk outs or dozing through screenings of his masterworks, a few instances claim to have incited mob violence addressed directly at the director while he was present at the screening.
It is with immense difficulty that one comes to terms with the fact that the great Indian film artist of our time, Mani Kaul is no more. Kaul was one of the few film makers functioning outside of the contours of the narrative parallel cinema and was perhaps the most significant amongst directors in India to produce a full-fledged aesthetic discourse around his practice.
Born in Jodhpur on Christmas, 1944, Kaul studied filmmaking at the Film and Television Institute of India (Ftii) under the tutelage of the illustrious Ritwik Kumar Ghatak. However after...
