New Delhi, India – What if Michael had died instead of Sonny in The Godfather? Or if Rose had shared the debris plank, and Jack hadn’t been left to freeze in the Atlantic in Titanic*?Eros International, one of India’s largest production houses, with more than 4,000 films in its catalogue, has decided to explore this sort of what-if scenario. It has re-released one of its major hits, Raanjhanaa, a 2013 romantic drama, in cinemas – but has used artificial intelligence (AI) to change its tragic end, in which the male lead dies.In the AI-altered version, Kundan (played by popular actor…

It is 2am in the obstetrics and gynaecology emergency department of Assahaba Medical Complex in Gaza City. Through the open windows, I can hear the never-ending hum of drones in the sky above, but aside from that, it is quiet. A breeze flows through the empty hall, granting relief from the heat, and a soft blue glow emanates from the few lights that are on. I am six months into a yearlong internship and 12 hours into a 16-hour shift. I am so tired that I could fall asleep here at the admissions desk, but in the calm, a rare…

Wednesday season 2 reviewCast: Jenna Ortega, Steve Buscemi, Billie Piper, Isaac Ordonez, Luis Guzmán, and Catherine Zeta-JonesDirector: Tim BurtonRating: ★★★Netflix has long tested audiences’ patience by dropping the second seasons of its biggest shows two or three years after the first.

Season 2 of the young adult thriller released…

Salakaar reviewCast: Naveen Kasturia, Mouni Roy, Mukesh Rishi, Surya Sharma, Purnendu Bhattacharya, Ashwath BhattDirector: Faruk KabirWhere to watch: JioHotstarRating: ★★Salakaar could well have been a film. Instead, it is a miniseries of five 30-minute episodes. The 2.5-hour runtime is a relief in the days of 6-hour arcs. I say relief, not because it stays gripping or packs a lot of thrills in a short time, but simply because it does not test your patience too long. Salakaar, like many spy thrillers that have come before it, has its heart in the right place. Everything else is sadly out of order.…
