Rajinikanth's 'Joker' Look in 'Kabali' Leaked on Social media

A picture of Rajinikanth was doing the rounds online, and rumours had it that it was his look from "Kabali". The image was said to be a selfie taken by the superstar. However, it turns out that the picture is fake.

Director Pa Ranjith has clarified the news on Twitter. While responding to a fan's query, the filmmaker said that the photo is not of Rajinikanth.

7 MOST RIDICULOUS ANIMAL ATTACK MOVIES

THE 7 MOST RIDICULOUS ANIMAL ATTACK MOVIES EVER MADE

1. Snakes on a Plane (2006) 

The world’s first meta-disaster monster movie, Snakes on a Plane was an early example of the perils of viral marketing — its unprecedented Internet meme success translated into about 20 cents at the box office. But that’s what makes the movie even better, since it lets you enjoy every kind of movie disaster in one motherf-ing package. And that package is a plane. Full of snakes.

2. Sharknado

We have to mention the Sharknado franchise as an example of a so-bad-it’s-kind-of-good animal attack movie, even though the filmmakers are a little too in on the joke at this point. (What forgotten ’80s or ’90s TV star will show up in Sharknado 4? Vicki from Small Wonder, maybe??) Sharknado knows the pleasures of absurdly awful movies which made its undeniably great premise (it’s in the title, come on) such a hit. But by the time Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! rolled around, we started to get a little tired of 90210‘s Ian Zeiring fighting a flying shark with a chainsaw, a sentence we never imagined we’d ever write.

3. Night of the Lepus (1972)

Making bunny rabbits look threatening is an amazing cinematic challenge, so it’s a pity nobody told that to the makers of Night of the Lepus. Every monster sequence looks like it was intended to be adored by four-year-olds, and sounds like it was written by those four-year-olds arguing over a crayon. The result is the cutest horror movie ever made.

4. Snakehead Terror (2004)

In this C-movie extravaganza that presupposes that no one has ever seen Piranha, an inland fishing village finds that their lake has become infested with mutated omnivorous snakehead fish, which rapidly exhaust their native food supply and start walking on land and eating humans to avoid starvation. This is the only horror movie where the protagonists would be saved by going camping in the woods. Fish emerging from the water might be a miracle of evolution but they’re still much, much worse in the air than we are. Walking Mutant Terror Fish aren’t nearly as scary/awesome as a Snarknado.

5. Beginning of the End (1957)

In the 1950s, someone worked out how to cheaply splice footage of people and close-up animals, and instead of using it for a single shot they spawned an entire genre. Cinemas were flooded with an entire ark’s worth of inflated animals, though that ark would still only have been the size of a houseboat because all the animals were small and unthreatening. Beginning of the End was notable for choosing one of the most unthreatening animals possible, as grasshoppers aren’t very intimidating unless you’re a blade of grass. The generic title doesn’t help matters — if they’d called the movie “Attack of the Grasshoppers” at least we’d know we were in for some sweet ‘hopper action amidst all the stock footage.

6. Birdemic 2: The Resurrection (2013)

Birdemic‘s unintentional awfulness earned it a place in cult fandom. The sequel embraces its Z-movie status as an excuse to suck harder than an air conditioner connected to a septic tank. And the results are less pleasant, but still cult-worthy. You can’t help but think that everyone involved seems to know that they’re working on one of the most insanely wretched things ever made. You can almost see their fingers twitching to type “LOL” in every scene.

7. Arachnid (2001)

Arachnid may be the world’s first anti-horror movie. The “arachnid response” is our fundamental fear of anything alien, a terror fundamentally wired into the human brain, and this movie spends 95 minutes undoing everything scary about spiders. After watching this movie you’ll probably split up from your group and walk backwards into a genetic engineering institute built on a spider burial ground. The director is on record as saying the best thing about this movie was how he got to live in Barcelona while filming it, and we kind of can’t disagree with him. Barcelona is pretty nice.

Baahubali Movie

SPOILERS AHEAD

Scale of ambition: gargantuan. Quality of VFX: out of the ordinary. Content: only occasionally gripping. Final impact: pretty strong.

That, in a nutshell, is SS Rajamouli’s Telugu and Tamil fantasy epic Baahubali – The Beginning, which has been released nationwide in Hindi in collaboration with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

The spectacular universe that the film conjures up is filled with magic, but the larger-than-life characters that populate its extraordinary expanse do not belong to any known mythic landscape. 

To that extent, Baahubali, driven by the titular superhero who pulls off mind-boggling feats both in love and in war, throws up many a surprise that isn’t altogether meaningless.

The story by Vijayendra Prasad, however, does not offer much more than standard a tale of valour, betrayal and vendetta set in a fictional kingdom, Mahismathi, where two brawny cousins square off against each other for the throne.

The good king-bad king construct is very, very old hat indeed, but the manner in which it is cast by director and co-writer Rajamouli ensures that the tale has the muscle to run the distance. 

Visually impressive, the first 20-odd minutes of the nearly three-hour-long film constitute a prelude of sorts. 

As it unfolds, we learn that the protagonist is a prince spirited away to safety from a kingdom atop a mountain that hides behind a spectacular curtain of water.

The boy is named Shiva and reared by a tribal woman who takes him to be a boon from the gods.

The foundling quickly turns into a beefy, wild-spirited man (Prabhas) and acquires Tarzan-like qualities. 

He makes numerous failed attempts to climb the face of the waterfall and his adoptive mother is at her wit’s end. 

A godman is summoned and he intones: Shiv jo sochta hain wohi karta hai (Lord Shiva does what he wishes). 

Our hero is no ordinary mortal: he yanks a huge Shivling from the bank of the river, carries it a long way and plonks it right under the waterfall so that his mother is spared the trouble of bathing it every day. 

One fine morning, Shiva espies a beautiful, curvy and provocatively clad apparition literally floating around the edges of the waterfall.

Lured by the lady, he finally makes it to the top of the forbidding mountain and begins to stumble upon the truth of his origins as complete strangers in an unknown land hail his advent. 

But before the film gets to that flashpoint, it limps through a laboured love story between our hero and the sword-wielding Avanthika (Tamannaah), who conceals her femininity behind a warrior’s attire.

Shiva surreptitiously draws tattoos on her arm, serenades her with great ardour, peels off her hard exterior layer by layer and, when bloodthirsty adversaries pursue her and an avalanche threatens her life, he swings into action to show off his survival instincts.

The second half of the film is a long flashback dominated by an unending battle sequence that vacillates between audacious and tiresome.

Two armies face each other and a variety of tactics and weapons come into play. 

Amarendra Baahubali (Prabhas in a dual role) and Bhallala Deva (Rana Daggubati) compete with each other for the head of the chieftain of the invading force.

Spotted in the course of the fierce battle are, among other things, a chariot with giant cleavers, sharp-edged spears, scimitars that never fail to cut deep, and a mace that doubles up as a deadly iron-ball flail.

For those that might have patience for such bloody slash-and-thrust contests on the big screen, this protracted scene will definitely stand out, as will the magnificently created avalanche that the lead pair is caught in earlier in the film.

For a pan-Indian audience not clued into Telugu blockbusters, Prabhas might seem like a poor man’s Rajinikanth, but he sure has undeniable screen presence. He does both swagger and snigger with aplomb.

Rana Daggubati pales somewhat in comparison but holds his own amid the excesses of the film and the sketchiness that mars his character.

Tamannaah’s shift from struggle (sangharsh) to seduction (shringar) is completely unconvincing.

If this is the beginning, one can only wonder what the culmination will be like. 

Will Bahubali – The Conclusion, slated for release in 2016, deliver more of the same? No matter what, it should have no trouble finding takers.

San Andreas

San Andreas coming soon with $110 million adventure film

“San Andreas” is hoping to shake up that trend when it debuts May 29 with an epic story of California rocked by the worst earthquake in history. But the team behind the $110 million adventure film acknowledges it’s taking a big gamble.

“We’re not a franchise film,” said star Dwayne Johnson. “We’re not connected to any superhero mythology. We’re about as original as it gets. We’re certainly the underdog in a packed summer.”

The elements that make “San Andreas” gripping — namely the prospect that thousands of lives will be lost if and when the titular fault goes off — is what makes the film such a risky proposition. Summer movie season abounds with images of major metropolises laid to waste, but the perpetrators in these pictures are often aliens or otherworldly beings, not natural disasters.

With a film of this ilk, Warner Bros. and its New Line Cinema unit are hoping that art won’t imitate life, which can make a disaster film seem crass. Just weeks before “San Andreas” hits theaters, earthquakes in Nepal killed 8,500 people. In response, Warner’s marketing division revised its promotional materials to include information about ways in which people can participate in relief efforts.

If “San Andreas” works, it would establish a lucrative new direction for tentpole productions based on original story ideas. Superhero movies remain the dominant form of blockbuster entertainment, but the onslaught of films about costumed heroes could eventually cause audience fatigue. This summer alone will see three different comicbook adaptations, and with DC Comics and Disney committed to delivering at least two films a year, the number of such adventures will increase substantially.

Producer Beau Flynn said he was inspired to make “San Andreas” because of his love for films like “Earthquake,” “The Poseidon Adventure” and “The Towering Inferno.”

Flynn won’t forget his own earthquake experiences. He vividly remembers being roused from bed during 1994’s Northridge earthquake, as his television crashed to the ground, his dishes shattered and the screams of frightened neighbors echoed around him.

“It was terrifying, because you really felt like you were going to be swallowed by the earth and you felt completely helpless,” Flynn said.

Others are not as convinced. Disaster films had a brief resurgence in the 1990s, when “Armageddon,” “Deep Impact” and “Twister” topped box office charts, but by their very nature, these types of movies don’t typically spawn sequels. There are only so many times a group of people can face cataclysm. Moreover, their more realistic nature doesn’t attract many merchandising and promo opportunities.

“What scares people who greenlight these films is they cost over $100 million, and you’re probably not going to get a trilogy,” said Jeff Bock, a B.O. analyst with Exhibitor Relations. “You’re not going to see ‘San Andreas’ on Kellogg’s boxes.”

What appealed to Johnson and director Brad Peyton were not images of skyscrapers buckling or the Golden Gate Bridge getting swept away. It was the quiet scenes depicting Johnson’s character, a rescue worker mourning the death of a loved one, trying to reconnect with his daughter and estranged wife.


“To me, the disaster movie was just dressing,” he said. “It was important that you related to the people in the movie, because that’s what made it human and real, and keeps it scary.”

Box Office: ‘Tomorrowland’ Tops Slow Memorial Day Weekend With $32.2 Million

There weren’t as many fireworks at the Memorial Day weekend box office this year as newcomer “Tomorrowland” disappointed with a $32.2 million debut.

“Tomorrowland” had been expected to generate $40 million over the three-day period and $50 million over the four-day stretch. With a $180 million price tag, Disney faces an uphill climb to profitability. Not helping matters, overseas figures were an underwhelming $26.7 million.

“Tomorrowland” appears to have been dinted by middling reviews and an overly secretive marketing campaign that left too many plot details under wraps. The film’s opening weekend crowd was 51% male, with adults making up 61% of ticket-buyers and families comprising 30% of customers. It received a mediocre B CinemaScore, indicating mixed word-of-mouth.

The weekend’s other new wide release, “Poltergeist,” pulled in $23 million from 3,240 locations for the three days and will make roughly $27.7 million for its first four days. The horror remake cost an economical $35 million to produce and was backed by Fox 2000 and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

“Avengers: Age of Ultron” rounded out the top five, with the superhero sequel nabbing $20.9 million and driving its stateside haul to $404.1 million.

Among art house releases, Fox Searchlight’s “Far From the Madding Crowd” expanded from 289 theaters to 865 locations, picking up $2.3 million in the process. The adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s novel has earned $5.4 million.

The overall box office will likely trail last year’s Memorial Day weekend, when “X-Men: Days of Future Past” opened to $90.8 million, by 19%. It also won’t even crack the top ten Memorial Day weekends of all time.

“All it takes is one big movie to power a Memorial Day weekend, and we didn’t have that,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Rentrak.
