All eyes, singular and plural, are on Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The success story of Rick Riordan’s young adult spin on Greek mythology is nothing short of romantic. What began as a bedtime story for his son evolved into a pentalogy of best-selling novels, capturing the imagination of readers worldwide but struggling to translate to the big screen. A pair of mixed-at-best reviewed feature films with just-about breaking even box office returns left Percy Jackson collecting dust in 20th Century Fox’s toybox until Disney acquired the studio in 2019. Riordan, who was ignored outright through the feature films’ creative…

In an exclusive conversation with Filmfare, Chauhan breaks down the meticulous process, from conceptual sketches to 40-metre salwars and silicon jewellery designed to survive high-octane action.

A traditional haiku is anchored around the invocation of nature’s most ubiquitous objects and occurrences. Thunder, rain, rocks, waterfalls. In the short poems, the complexity of these images, typically taken for granted, are plumbed for their depth to meditate on the behavior of humanity. Much of the dialogue in Josh C.

Despair, grief, resilience, violence, glory, peace. All in a day’s work for a master swordsman. In the late 13th century,…
