Plot: A young man (Dev Patel) who makes his living fighting in underground fights in Mumbai hatches a violent plot designed to avenge the rape and murder of his mother.
Review: Calling Dev Patel’s Monkey Man “John Wick in Mumbai” is simplistic. While it’s a nice one-liner the studio can use in its trailers, Monkey Man is an altogether different kind of action flick. Much lower budget than any of the Wick films and less polished (by design), this has more in common with seventies revenge thrillers, albeit given a bruising, martial arts-driven makeover. It’s an impressive debut for Patel both as a director and burgeoning action hero.
Indeed, Patel’s action-hero makeover is one of the most impressive in recent years. Sporting a lean physique and serious martial arts prowess (he’s apparently been training since he was a kid), Monkey Man is the kind of...

New Delhi, Jan 22 (Ians) Even though he has worked in several note-worthy shows and films, actor Gurmeet Choudhary is still remembered for his flawless performance of Lord Ram in the 2009 television series ‘Ramayan’ opposite Debina Bonnerjee, who played the role of Sita.

Nitesh Tiwari is planning to make a movie on Ramayana in three parts with Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama. The team also approached Alia Bhatt for the Sita role and Yash for the Ravana role. In the latest update, we hear that Alia Bhatt said no to the mythological drama.
Many started wondering why she had to reject the offer when she could act with her husband in the eternal story. The main reason for her declining the offer seems to be her busy schedule. Alia Bhatt’s calendar is full and she is not willing to adjust the time for Ramayana. They wanted to make this Ramayana with real visual effects and not using motion capture technology.
Alia Bhatt, who had allegedly said yes to starring as Sita in the film, has exited the project. A source claimed that Alia decided to let go of the movie due to date issues.

Kathmandu, June 15 (Ians) After placing a map of “Greater Nepal” at his office in retaliation at the “Akhand Bharat” mural in the new Indian Parliament building, Kathmandu Metropolitan City Mayor Balen Shah on Thursday announced that no Indian movie will be allowed to be exhibited within the capital territory if South Indian movie “Adipurush” does not correct the “mistake” about the birthplace of Sita.
Nepal’s Censor Board also decided to hold back permission to the upcoming Indian epic mythological film, based on the Hindu epic “Ramayana”, for the same reason.
In “Adipurush”, it is mentioned that “Sita is the daughter of India”, Shah said in a tweet on Thursday, adding that until this mistake will not be corrected in India and Nepal, no Indian movie will be allowed to be shown within the Kathmandu metropolitan city limit.
The film is written and directed by Om Raut and produced by T-Series and Retrophiles.
