These awaited movies have talented actors. Their performances will make the at-home experience more entertaining. Here are the movies that will be available on digital platforms soon.

The year started slowly for Kannada cinema on Ott platforms. Many films had digital streaming partners. However, none of them arrived on Ott in January 2025. The last big Kannada movie to release on Ott was Bhairathi Ranagal. This Shivarajkumar film came to Amazon Prime Video during Christmas last year.

Some delays happened due to Pushpa 2: The Rule. This major film released on Netflix on January 30 in five languages. Max and Ui were affected by this. HD prints of both Kannada films are already available online. This is a cause for concern.

Ic 814: What Happened To The Pilot, Captain Devi Sharan
Image
Netflixs new limited series, Ic 814: The Kandahar Hijack, has left questions regarding the aftermath of the real flights pilot, Captain Devi Sharan. Filmmaker Anubhav Sinhas streaming series debut recounts the harrowing events of the hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814. On December 24th, 1999, five armed hijackers took control of the plane, trapping the fifteen crew members and 176 passengers inside, and starting a hostage situation that lasted eight days. Vijay Varma gives a spectacularly tense performance as the flights captain, highlighting the real-life hero behind the character.

Captain Devi Sharan was born in New Delhi in 1962, began his career in aviation in the early 1980s, and was the captain when Flight 814 was hijacked. His quick thinking and ability to remain calm under pressure played a pivotal role in handling the crisis, notably, his decision to fly low over Lahore until air traffic control was forced to give the plane permission to land,...

‘Ic 814: The Kandahar Hijack’ Review: A Tale of Resilience and Moral Dilemmas
Image
Ic 814: The Kandahar Hijack is a six-episode limited series, with which noted Indian filmmaker Anubhav Sinha debuts on the Ott platform. The history behind the hijacking of the Indian Airlines flight Ic 814 is already available in the public domain, so a fictional show inspired by these real-life events may become a frivolous attempt if it doesn’t carefully balance factual accuracy with creative freedom. But Sinha, along with his co-writer Trishant Srivastava and Adrian Levy, who takes credit for the story, respects the gravity of the events. They craft a riveting narrative that not only captures our attention but also compels us to engage deeply with the unfolding drama, even as we remain acutely aware of the outcome. It is a tense hijack thriller that refuses to adhere to the tried and tested tropes of high-octane action sequences or principal characters blurting out nationalistic rhetoric or jingoistic dialogues to...

‘Ic-814: The Kandahar Hijack’ Cast And Character Guide
Image
Netflix’s Ic-814: The Kandahar Hijack revolves around the tragic events of December 24th, 1999, when an Indian passenger plane was hijacked by some Islamist militants while it was flying to Delhi from Kathmandu. At that point in time, the flight had some 176 passengers onboard, along with the crew and their brave captain, Devi Sharan. Despite the Indian government’s initial reluctance to negotiate with terrorists, the officials managed to bring the passengers back to India safely. Anubhav Sinha’s Ic-814 plays like an intense thriller that realistically captures the ordeal hostages went through. So, without any further ado, let’s find out more about these unsung heroes through our cast and character guide.

Captain Devi Sharan

Vijay Varma once again proves his incredible talent by portraying Captain Devi Sharan (or Sharan Dev) in Ic-814: The Kandahar Hijack. We’ve seen Vijay deliver powerful performances in Darlings and Mirzapur, and he doesn’t disappoint here either.

‘Ic-814 The Kandahar Hijack’ True Story: Where Is Real-Life Captain Devi Sharan Now?
Image
Netflix’s Ic-814 The Kandahar Hijack, created by Anubhav Sinha, is based on a tragic incident that was documented pretty well by the media back in the day. Apart from the media, a lot of films made earlier have been loosely based on the Kandahar hijacking. Captain Devi Sharan has also written a book titled “Flight Into Fear: A Captain’s Story,” where he has spoken about his experience on the hijacked flight and all that he had to endure when he was stuck in the cockpit with a gun pointed at his head. Most of the things shown in the series pertaining to Captain Devi Sharan actually happened in real life. Vijay Verma has portrayed the character of Captain Devi Sharan on screen. Considering Vijay Verma’s character is being treated as the protagonist, I felt a little disappointed after watching the series, as his character was not at all fleshed out.

Netflix’s ‘Ic 814’ Recap (Episodes 1-6) Explained: Were The Taliban Involved?

The Kandahar Hijack is often cited as an example of the failure of Indian diplomacy during a crisis. The delayed decision-making, the fear of taking on the onus, and the lack of a clear vision resulted in the loss of an innocent life and a seven-day-long hijack of Indian Airlines Flight 814. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, Ic 814: The Kandahar Hijack dives deep to understand the delayed negotiation and the impact that it had on the passengers.

The series is an adaptation of Flight Into Fear by Captain Devi Sharan and Srinjoy Chowdhury, starring veteran actors Naseeruddin Shah and Pankaj Kapoor as the chiefs of the crisis management group. The series also features Vijay Verma as Captain Sharan, Patralekhaa Paul as flight attendant Indrani, and Dia Mirza as Shalini Chandra, editor of Indian Headlines.

Mr & Mrs Mahi, starring Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, is all set to release in theatres tomorrow. It’s a romantic sports drama in which Rajkummar plays Mahendra, and Janhvi plays Mahima. It’s a love story with a blend of cricket, where a husband coaches his wife to achieve her dreams of becoming a cricketer. The film is directed by Sharan Sharma.

When the movie ‘Mr & Mrs Mahi’ was announced, many thought it was based on the life of Indian cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni, aka Ms Dhoni, and his wife Sakshi Dhoni. The word ‘Mahi’ used to address Dhoni by his fans dearly is what led to the assumptions. However, the movie is not based on them.

Class Season 1’s Ending Twist Sets Up A Second Mystery For Season 2
Image
Warning! Spoilers for season 1 of Class!

Season 1 of Netflix’s Class has laid the groundwork for a new season 2 mystery with its twist ending. When a show revolves around a mystery as Class does, there’s often pressure to avoid solving the mystery in its entirety to leave room for future seasons, which, while effective, can lead to a rambling story that never arrives at its destination. Luckily, Class dodged this bullet with a season 1 full of drama, intrigue, and heartbreak that prepared to pivot to a second mystery if it gets a season 2.

Season 1 of Class follows three working-class students, Dheeraj Kumar Valmiki (Piyush Khati), Saba Manzoor (Madhyama Segal), and Balli Sehrawat (Cwaayal Singh) when they transfer to the elite institution Hampton International after their public school burns down. Modeled after prestigious school and killer mystery of Netflix's Elite but set in Dehli, India, the three students must adjust...

Cla: Netflix’s new teen drama explores the realities of India’s caste struggles
Image
An Indian adaptation of a Spanish drama series exploring societal hierarchy in the intersection of caste, class and privilege among students in a fictional school set in the heart of capital Delhi has kicked up a buzz on social media.

Netflix India’s Cla, the Hindi adaptation of the hit Spanish series Elite, follows the lives of three working-class students – Neeraj, Sabha, and Balli – who win scholarships to attend one of New Delhi’s most prestigious schools.

After the murder of a wealthy child named Suhani, excitement quickly turns to dread as they find themselves caught in a web of class warfare, secrets, and betrayal.

While the series is familiar to Elite, it addresses a variety of controversial issues that students in urban India face. From the get-go, Cla dives into the issues of Islamophobia, queer repression, abortion, bigotry, religious dogma, and the socioeconomic and cultural differences between people from different caste structures.

‘Class’ (2022) Netflix Series: The Remake of Elite that Few Asked for

The Spanish series Elite has its remake, in this case, from India with Class, a series directed by Ashim Ahluwalia who tells us the story of three students from a poor district in Delhi who go to study in an elitistic high school in town, with the subsequent conflicts, adventures and murders.

It comes with the same structure and in the telling of the story the same premise. It justifies its change (a fire that makes the three students go to the expensive high school) and transports the Spanish Class to India.

Lots of you might say that plot-wise, you would rather settle for the original version and as for boldness, you would surely settle for the original which knew how to make use of its sexier side. In Class we have more social inequalities, less thriller and intrigue and more social discourse.

Vinesh said she was subjected to mental harassment by Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, adding that she had even contemplated suicide.

“Adhyaksh (Wfi President) and a few coaches in the national camp have sexually exploited female wrestlers,” she said.
