BAFTA Breakthrough is a wonderful Netflix-supported initiative that celebrates the very best of young talent. In its 10th year, the alumni boasts the likes of Florence Pugh, Tom Holland and Letitia Wright – and this year comes a whole host of exciting new names. One of which caught our eye especially, which is Vivian Oparah, who shone in Peckham-set rom-com Rye Lane, which enamoured viewers with its spring-time release. We discuss what it means to her to be named as a BAFTA Breakthrough artist, and naturally we look back to Rye Lane, to talk about shooting the film, and the lasting, indelible impact it has left. She also looks ahead to a future that we’re gonna consider pretty damn bright.

Culture wars are a global phenomenon, increasingly contaminating the world of news. There have always been news outlets that lean left or right but now channels in search of ratings push “values” rather than “facts”, champion commentary over information gathering and instead of debating those who disagree with them, label them with nebulous terms like “woke” or “unpatriotic”. While people considering division along cultural lines might immediately think of the US, the problem has also become acute in Narendra Modi’s India as Vinay Shukla’s timely documentary shows.
In it, he follows the day-to-day life of award-winning journalist Ravish Kumar who, at the time, was working for Ndtv (he now hosts his own YouTube channel). Kumar is shown to be a thoughtful journalist, who isn’t scared to ask questions about unemployment or the conditions many in rural India are living in. Thanks to sharp juxtaposing from editor Abhinav Tyagi.

Pati Patni Aur Woh
Starring Kartik Aryan, Bhumi Pednekar, Ananya Pandey
Directed by Mudassar Aziz
First things first. Apart from a riff of Thande thande pani se nahana chahiye in the background and the end-entrance of a femme fatale there is no similarity of any kind between B R Chopra’s 1978 sex comedy Pati Patni Aur Woh and its new Kanpuriya avatar.
Sanjeev Kumar—may his soul rest in one piece—is replaced by a moustachioed Kartik Aryan, way too young to play a husband going through a midlife crisis, but we’ll let that be. Whatever Kartik lacks in the years, he compensates for with his intuitive feel for the young Indian sexually active male’s appalled rejection of matriarchal bullying.
As usual, Kartik playing the average bloke, this time a Kanpur guy named Abhinav Tyagi, transfixes his character’s gaze in the hemisphere of the hangdog. He is...

The importance of this documentary becomes evident from the way it raised the funds for its production. As the makers of the film had a goal of $20.000, they decided to “plea” through their film site for financial support, in order to conclude it. The result was staggering, since 782 contributors (who are thanked in the beginning of the film) donated $120,000 at the end of the campaign, making it the largest crowd funding campaign of its kind in India, hosted by the filmmakers on their own platform.
“An Insignificant Man“ screened at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles
The documentary revolves around Arvind Kejriwal, and the rise of anti-corruption protests in India that led him to form the Aam Aadmi Party (Common Man’s Party), with the help of Yogendra Yadav, an academic of politics. The documentary captures the day-to-day functioning of the Party, between December 2012 and December 2013, ending with the New Delhi elections.
