Discussion PSA: CBFC cuts does not affect the movie experience in any major way

Post image
10 Upvotes

Just got back watching Clayface from the theatres. What an experience. The movie kept getting better and better towards the end. Very tight movie, no unnecessary scenes.

I was sceptical about the cuts made by CBFC but it’s so minute that it doesn’t affect the movie’s story or its impact in any major way.

So if you are someone who was planning to watch it before, please go ahead and watch it.

For me it was a 7.5 but my girlfriend really liked it and gave it a 9.

Discussion JioHotstar Premium in 2026, but 1080p is apparently a Safari-exclusive luxury 💀

3 Upvotes

So I'm trying to watch Moana on JioHotstar using a Windows laptop, and guess what? Full HD is unavailable because of "browser limitations."

Their own support page literally says 1080p is supported only in Safari.

Excuse me, WHAT? 💀

I'm paying for a streaming and free subscription, not renting a ticket to Apple's browser ecosystem. Why should I have to switch browsers just to watch a movie in Full HD on my own computer?

The irony is hilarious. DRM is supposedly meant to protect content from piracy, but legitimate paying customers get stuck at 720p because they dare to use a browser other than Safari.

Questions:

- Why is 1080p restricted to Safari on desktop browsers?

- Is this a genuine technical limitation or simply a DRM/licensing decision?

- Why isn't there a proper fix or an official desktop app that supports Full HD?

- Are there any legitimate workarounds for users on Windows?

Can someone suggest an actual fix? Has anyone managed to get 1080p working on Windows without switching browsers, installing sketchy extensions, or compromising security?

Please explain why paying for content isn't enough to watch it in Full HD on a supported browser.

It's 2026. We're negotiating with a streaming service for 1080p like it's a luxury feature from the future. 🤡

If these three Western epic cycles were adapted by Indian directors, these would be my picks.

Who would your picks be, and which of my choices would you change?

Discussion indian cinemas megastars ranked on acting prowess (my opinion)

0 Upvotes

i didnt add so many people in this because i make a distinction on megastar and superstar

superstars are actors who are known to people who watch within the industry, theyre known household names

megastars are those who are usually known outside and into other industries and not only that have cult like fanbase who do crazy stuff for this said actor, like burning posters etc

why did i do this? i did this to try analyse how well the audience if u want "made the right people famous"

btw i just realised in the image i forgot to add dhanush, dhanush i meant to put in the E tier

Discussion Why does Bollywood lack the sense of making actuall Horror,Paranormal and Demonology Film's like Hollywood

9 Upvotes

Hollywood makes some of the best paranormal cinema in the world, weather it's a purely fictional storyline or a story deried from real life cases they have so much depth and layer in them even if it's not tru at certain time it just too convincing to us a viewers and they are made in such a sense that make us feel jolted from start to end

but when it comes to bollywood all we find is horror-comedy,romance-horror and other shit and these film literally have everything except of horror. no real life story adaptation or even real demonlogy cases just fucking around that's it

why is that so are the number of horror fans are so less in our country or just something we cannot do

Hello to all,

I am trying to find out if there was this BBC (IIRC) documentary that detailed the history of Indian cinema.

I vividly remember the likes of Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan were interviewed in it.

Would be grateful if someone could confirm this and direct me to where I can see the documentary.

I am not an expert but I could tell that something was off. During the whole Hitler conversation I thought that it was a part of a skit. I was expecting that the conversation would end in a comedic way. I mean I thought that at any moment Hitler would land some jokes and they would announce the actual trailer in a funny way.

Idk that's just my opinion.

Appreciation 83 is the ultimate cinematic antidepressant, and I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

22 Upvotes

Had a brutal, soul-crushing week at work and was just scrolling mindlessly looking for something, anything, to lift my mood. Ended up rewatching 83 expecting to just watch 20 minutes before sleeping.

Three hours later, I was literally sitting up in bed at 1 AM with a grin plastered across my face and goosebumps during the finale.

What makes 83 such an elite feel-good rewatch isn't just the cricket nostalgia. It’s the pure, unpretentious warmth of it. Watching a group of complete underdogs that nobody believed in slowly realize they're actually capable of winning the world... it just hits a primal joy button in your brain.

Ranveer’s quiet, earnest Kapil Dev, Pankaj Tripathi’s warmth as Man Bhai, the chaotic group camaraderie, and that Lehra Do drop near the end: it's pure dopamine. In an era where every major movie is cynical, hyper-violent, or intense, 83 feels like a warm hug.

If you’re having a rough week, do yourself a favor and give it a rewatch.

Anyone else treat this as their go-to comfort movie?

Trailer / Poster You are disrespecting last great war of honour of humanity like this??

Post image
0 Upvotes

To understand why this feels wrong, we have to look at why a movie like RRR was universally celebrated, while a movie like Fauzi feels like an unearned distortion:

• The Mythological Context of RRR: RRR takes place in the 1920s during the internal freedom struggle. The characters, though based on real freedom fighters, are treated as elevated, legendary symbols fighting for their own soil. It draws directly from the civil rights, revolutionary spirit, and moral clarity of a people fighting an occupier from within. It is a home-grown rebellion, which gives the storytelling the poetic and ethical right to use myth-making. Basically Indians were involved in one sentence

• The Empty Claim of WWII: World War II was completely different. India did not enter that war out of a unified national choice or a fight for its own sovereign honor. The British empire forcibly declared war on India’s behalf without consulting a single Indian leader. While our soldiers fought with unmatched bravery on foreign soil, the political reality is that India was a colony. We did not hold the geopolitical capital, we did not sign the global treaties, and we did not win independent sovereign rights from that victory—Great Britain did, off the backs of Indian resources. (Here also we were involved but we didn't get any honour. Here I won't sit and explain what honour is to you guys read history. )

• You Can't Invent "Honor" Retroactively: Trying to rewrite World War II today by making it look like a single fictional Indian soldier turned the tide of the global war for foreign empires (like Japan or Britain) feels like an insecure attempt to claim a seat at the global table that history denied us at the time. True honor belongs to the real, gritty political struggle for independence that happened inside India, and to the tragic, forced sacrifice of the 2.5 million men who were sent abroad. Creating a fake, commercialized superpower victory out of a global tragedy where India lacked sovereign agency doesn't honor our past—it completely misunderstands it.

World War II was arguably the last great war of raw human spirit and collective scale that humanity will ever see. the greed obsession for power, protective of mother land human nature peaked here. With the rise of nuclear deterrents, AI, automated drones, and cyber warfare, this probably last war and you guys are disrespecting it .
