First in history: Miss Universe pageant to have two trans women contestants

<p>Only ten days left for Martin Scorsese’s <em>Killers of the Flower Moon</em> to be released in theatres and the filmmaker is hopeful for the film to evoke some emotions and get the desired reaction from audiences. Martin feels that Barbenheimer did what was necessary for the industry. He feels that Barbenheimer was a “wonderful” thing that brought people to the theatres.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Scorsese hails Barbenheimer</strong></h2>

<p>In an interview with HT, Martin Scorsese called the dual films that brought massive interest in films and earned great box office results “something special”. Calling it the “perfect storm”, he said, “It came about at the right time. And the most important thing is that people went to watch these in a theatre. And I think that’s wonderful.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>“The way it fit perfectly — a film with such entertainment value, purely with the bright colours, and a film with such severity and strength, and pretty much about the danger of the end to our civilization — you couldn’t have more opposite films to work together. It does offer some hope for a different cinema to emerge, different from what’s been happening in the last 20 years, aside from the great work being done in independent cinema,” he added.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Scorsese defends Killers of the Flower Moon's long runtime</strong></h2>

<p>Martin Scorsese also spoke about the length of his upcoming film, <em>Killers of the Flower Moon,</em> which will first release in theatres and then head for its OTT debut on Apple TV+. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, and Lily Gladstone in leading roles along with Robert De Niro, Brendan Fraser, and Jesse Plemons. The film has a runtime of three hours and 26 minutes.</p>

<p>On the long runtime, the Oscar-winning director said, “People say it’s three hours, but come on, you can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours. Also, there are many people who watch theatre for 3.5 hours. There are real actors on stage, you can’t get up and walk around. You give it that respect, give cinema some respect.”</p>

<p><em>Killers of the Flower Moon </em>will be released in theatres on October 20.</p>

<p>Indian music composer Ishaan Chhabra who recently worked with Hansal Mehta in the SonyLIV show <em>Scam 2003,</em> spoke about his experience of lending rhythm to the central character’s cunningness, mirroring Telgi’s street-smart attitude and complexities of his story with apt music. Blending electronic elements with guitars along with a subtle nod to Belgaum's musical essence, Ishaan breaks down what it took to compose music for a show of the calibre of <em>Scam 2003</em>. Excerpts:&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: We heard some great background music during the length of <em>Scam 2003.</em> What was the brief you had for composing music for a show like Scam 2003?</strong></p>

<p>Ishaan: The creative process for the music of <em>Scam 2003</em> started with a meeting with Mr. Hansal Mehta, the creative director of the show. Hansal sir’s basic brief was to keep the score upbeat, engaging, and evolving throughout. He explained how Telgi’s character is street-smart, mischievous, and a bit “filmy” - and he wanted the score to reflect that. Based on these pointers, I composed 4-5 theme ideas, which he thankfully liked and asked me to use them as building blocks for the score. Then I started scoring to picture based on these core ideas.</p>

<p><strong>WION: You’ve worked with Hansal Mehta before <em>Scam 2003</em>. What’s something you really like about him?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Ishaan: Hansal sir really lets you be creative and lets you explore to zone in on the right sound for a project - and at the same time can be quite specific with ideas. He’s musically inclined, which really helps in understanding the brief.</p>

<p><strong>Watch our exclusive interview with Hansal Mehta here:</strong></p>

<div class="videoWrapper trancodeVideo"><iframe allowfullscreen="" autoplay="1" class="includeVideo" frameborder="0" height="350" src="https://www.wionews.com/videos/exclusive-decoding-hansal-mehta-and-his-30-years-behind-the-lens-636656/embed" style="width:100%;max-width:560px;" width="560"></iframe></div>

<p><strong>WION: Ishaan, you’re not new to international music and have collaborated with artists outside India too. How did you break into the global music scene? <em>Writing With Fire</em>, for example, was nominated for Oscars and you got to collaborate on that project. Did you happen to attend the Academy Awards?</strong></p>

<p>Ishaan: Studying at Berklee helped me to&nbsp;meet people working in the international music industry and establish a network in the US. Being a finalist in the Rolex Arts Initiative also opened a lot of doors.</p>

<p>I didn’t attend the Academy Awards but it was incredibly gratifying to have scored for an Oscar-nominated film, <em>Writing With Fire.&nbsp;</em></p>

<p><strong>WION: You have also been a frequent collaborator with AR Rahman, How is he as a person? Does it ever get intimidating while working with him?</strong></p>

<p>Ishaan: Working with A.R. sir was truly a dream come true. You learn so much just by watching him work. He’s also really generous with sharing his knowledge and expects you to do your absolute best. Some of my favourite projects with him are<em> Pele, Tamasha, Highway, 24, Viceroy’s House, The Hundred Foot Journey </em>and <em>The Messenger of God.</em></p>

<p><strong>WION: What’s one project that is dear to you the most?</strong></p>

<p>Honestly, every project so far has been special for different reasons - but if I had to pick one, that would be the Malayalam film <em>Mahaveeryar.</em> It’s a time-travel satire-meets-courtroom drama. The director, Mr. Abrid Shine, let me go as crazy as possible with the soundtrack and I got to incorporate all kinds of different musical styles into the soundtrack - from Rajasthani folk to reggae to full-blown cinematic-orchestral.</p>

<p><strong>WION: What next?</strong></p>

<p>Ishaan: I just finished scoring a horror series for Amazon Prime which should be released around year-end. I also recently started working on a Hindi film and a series that should be released mid-next year.</p>

<p><strong>WION: Who are some directors that inspire you or would want to work with?</strong></p>

<p>Ishaan: In a perfect world, it would be an insane dream come true to work with Denis Villeneuve, Wes Anderson, The Coen Brothers, and Alfonso Cuaròn. On the India front, I would love to work with Vishal Bhardwaj, Anurag Kashyap, Shimit Amin, and Dibaker Banerjee. Their work has been hugely inspiring.</p>

<p>Ishaan Chhabra debuted in the feature space as a composer with 2014 film, <em>Children of War</em>. The film released to critical success. He then composed for 2016 film, <em>Budhia Singh: Born to Run</em>, which went on to receive the National Award for Best Children's Film. In 2017, he scored Hansal Mehta's biographical crime thriller <em>Omertà</em>. He worked on HBO's 2018 documentary <em>Momentum Generation</em> which earned a Sports Emmy Award nomination for Best Music Direction. In 2021, he co-composed for the Academy Award-nominated documentary <em>Writing With Fire</em> directed by Rintu Thomas and Sushmit Ghosh. As for Hindi films, he scored Imtiaz Ali's romantic drama <em>Love Aaj Kal</em> (2020) and Aanand L. Rai's <em>Raksha Bandhan</em> (2022).&nbsp;</p>

12th Fail: Makers drop new poster featuring Vikrant Massey

<p>This International Day of Girl Child, we pick movies/shows that share the stories of some&nbsp;brave girls in our lives:</p>

<p><strong>Maya: Find Your Light</strong></p>

<p>That Barbie and Elsa have been a part of girls' powerful and womanly transformations is known. <em>Maya Find Your Light </em>is a similar Zee Theatre teleplay set in a lush kingdom where Maya is a 13-year-old girl with three curses to dispel. She is a character of strength as she embarks on a heroic mission through rocky forests, towering mountains, and quaint villages to defeat the evil king of darkness, accompanied by the pendant of bravery bestowed upon her by her friends and family.</p>

<p>Filmed by Laurent Festas and Sanaya Bharucha, this kid's drama features Khushi Chauhan, Prasad Kela, Priyanka Patil, Rutuja Bhoite, Shlok Sadlapurkar, Yash Agarwal, and Aniket Sahani.</p>

<p><strong>Secret Superstar</strong></p>

<p>Insia, AKA <em>Secret Superstar,</em> is living the best of both worlds in school and at home as a singer. However, her rigid and abusive father wants the young girl to only stick to school and not engage in external activities whatsoever. Insiya maintains her passion for music and begins to post her renditions online anonymously. Soon, she experiences massive admiration from her listeners but struggles to keep up due to her father's restrictions. How she goes about it and becomes a successful superstar, crossing the bridge of her family's complexities is truly inspiring.</p>

<p>Directed by Advait Chandan, the film features a talented cast- Zaira Wasim, Aamir Khan, Raj Arjun, Meher Vij, Tirth Sharma, and Monali Thakur. It is available to stream on OTT Play.</p>

<p><strong>Mira, Royal Detective</strong></p>

<p>In the past, girl-centered shows and movies often predominantly featured fair-skinned and highly polished characters. However, times have changed, and now we see a shift towards greater diversity and representation. One striking example is <em>Mira, Royal Detective</em>,&nbsp;an American CGI-animated mystery series where the titular character, Mira, takes centre stage. Mira is a determined young girl who becomes a royal detective in India after solving a mystery that protects the kingdom's young prince.</p>

<p>This show, being the first with an Indian protagonist on Disney Junior, does an excellent job of authentically portraying various aspects of Indian culture. Directed by Becca Topol, it is available for streaming on Disney Junior.</p>

<p><strong>Nil Battey Sannata</strong></p>

<p>Meaning "knowing nothing," this film is a hard-hitting yet heartwarming production that explores the delicate bond between a young girl, Apeksha, and her aspirations. When topped with her mother Chanda's dreams, the film unrolls as a sentimental piece, merging two lives into one where Apeksha believes that she can't achieve much in her life, and Chanda wants to take on the challenge.</p>

<p>Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, the masterpiece features Swara Bhaskar, Riya Shukla, Ratna Pathak, Pankaj Tripathi, and Sanjay Suri and is available to stream on JioCinema.</p>
