Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal, who essayed the role of Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw in the biopic ‘Sam Bahadur’, is remembering the Indian war hero on his 110th birth anniversary.
On Wednesday, the actor took to the Stories section of his Instagram and shared a monochromatic picture of Sam Manekshaw posing proudly in his uniform for the camera. He can be seen standing near his Jeep.

Director Devashish Makhija slowly ramps up the tension with a sharp eye for oppressive realism and social satire as a father tries to out run his oppressors in this gritty thriller
Where many thrillers programmatically crank up tension with every scene and every beat, Devashish Makhija’s third feature feels different; this manhunt is weighed down by an almost agonised oppressiveness. Joram’s protagonist Dasru (Manoj Bajpayee) is barely able to choose a course of action until compelled out of desperation, and his police pursuer Ratnakar (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) is not much better. There’s no escape in this pressure cooker from omnipresent societal exploitation and cynicism – with only Makhija’s compassion for the marginalised to compensate.

Fighting is for the Soul, Not for the Belly
A Tribal Villager
Joram is an authentically crafted, brutal and raw depiction of the lives of tribal people in India. It is an eye-opening and important piece of cinema that will tug at the viewer’s emotions. Director Devashish Makhija has crafted a film that is relentless in its exposé of various socio-economic issues including political landscape, gentrification, mining, deforestation, etc. This is as realistic as any film can ever get to in the portrayal of the cruelty human beings dish on other human beings in the name of caste and the social hierarchy of the so-called people who aim to use the ‘Power of Status’ to do as they please. The dog-eat-dog mentality is where anyone will do anything to get ahead in life, to make a statement, to cover up mistakes and where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub is one actor who commands equal prowess in intense dramatic roles as well as his comic timing. Be it his razor sharp delivery as Murari Gupta in the Dhanush-starrer ‘Raanjhanaa’ or his heartbreakingly funny appearance in ‘Jannat 2’, the actor holds the pulse of timing and never misses a beat.
The actor revealed how he has been able to cultivate the perfect comic timing or what has shaped his sense of humour.
The actor said: “I feel your comic timing or your sense of humour, in totality, depends on your conditioning. I belong to a lower-middle class family, and was born and raised in Okhla village. Humour is the only thing which keeps us alive there and it is really important. So, you have to be really active and be participating in that form of humour. Otherwise, it would turn very suffocating”.

Actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, who plays the love interest of Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s transgender character of Harika in crime drama ‘Haddi’, spoke about his role, and said that the basic idea was to communicate the concept of true love between people irrespective of gender.
Directed by Akshat Ajay Sharma, the film stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Anurag Kashyap, and Zeeshan in the lead. Nawaz plays the character of Haddi/Harika, while Zeeshan is seen as Irfan.
Talking to Ians, Zeeshan spoke on the mental and physical toll such characters take on the actors.
“I don’t think there is any such toll on you. Some things of the character remain with you. There is always a give and take. It’s not a very intense but nice and tender character. And we had to achieve that softness. A tenderness should remain in their relationship,” he said.

Haddi begins with a saree-clad Nawazuddin Siddique sharpening a blade and delivering dialogue in his unique ominous tone. Thus begins the journey of this film. Where else have we seen Nawazuddin being used to start a movie or a film with a voiceover? Yes, Sacred Games was that show, where Nawaz’s character, Ganesh Gaitonde, brought terror to our screens. Haddi is based in a similar universe, where gruesome violence is commonplace, and brutality is just a word. The only reality is power and money. Somewhere, Akshat Ajay Sharma, the director of the film, managed to introduce themes revolving around the lives of sexual minorities in the story. It’s great to see a film with great performances, that bring to the screen topics and characters, that have been seldom talked about. But is gangster-revenge-Drama the apt genre for these characters? Akshat seems to be so heavily inspired by Anurag Kashyap...
