Besides the quintessential and quirky love stories, rib-tickling comedies, nail-biting thrillers and splendid magnum opuses, Hindi cinema has also been bringing true accounts of courage, valour and sacrifice on the celluloid. Over the years, the portrayal of patriotism might have changed on screen but the sentiment continues to remain the same. As India celebrates its 75th year of independence today (August 15), here's a curated list of Bollywood films based on real life heroes which will make your hearts swell with pride. Major Adivi Sesh's portrayal of NSG Commando Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan in the 2022 film Major makes for a touching watch. Based on the life of the 26/11 hero who died fighting terrorists at the Taj Hotel in 2008, the film is a perfect balance of thrills and emotions. Sardar Udham Vicky Kaushal stepped into the shoes of Indian revolutionary Udham Singh for this Shoojit Sarcar directorial. The biopic is a cinematic retelling … [Read more...] about Independence Day 2022: Bollywood Films Based On Real Life Heroes To Binge-Watch On August 15

‘Squid Game’ Creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk On Breaking Hollywood’s Rules To Ignite A Global Phenomenon
Back in 2008, Hwang Dong-hyuk never imagined that his feature script, about a group of desperate people playing a game of life or death, would see the light of day. But a decade later, his idea for Squid Game was pitched as a series to Netflix, and much to his surprise, the thriller quickly turned into a global phenomenon with 1.65 billion views only four weeks after its launch. The milestones continue as Squid Game has crossed over successfully into awards season, culminating with a record 14 Emmy nominations, making it the first non-English language series up for Outstanding Drama Series. DEADLINE: Congratulations on all the Emmy nominations. They celebrate both the actors and the team behind the scenes, like production designer Chae Kyoung-sun, art director Gim En-jee, set decorator Kim Jeong-gon and editor Nam Na-young. HWANG DONG-HYUK : Yes, I’m very happy that, not only the show and the actors, but as you said, our behind-the-scenes crew members got … [Read more...] about ‘Squid Game’ Creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk On Breaking Hollywood’s Rules To Ignite A Global Phenomenon
MAGA Fanatics Have a New Enemy: ‘TINOs’ — Trump In Name Only
MACOMB COUNTY, MICHIGAN — In a banquet hall in suburban Detroit, Mark Forton railed against a gathering of “RINOs” 12 miles south of where he stood. The former chair of the Macomb County Republicans, ousted in a raucous coup back in April, asserted his rightful control of the party to the 300 loyalists, many clad in Make America Great Again apparel. His county convention, Forton said, was the “real” county party meeting to select delegates to send to the state convention at the end of the month. Forton’s assertions meant little to the Michigan Republican Party, which vowed to only recognize the dueling convention taking place elsewhere in the county, which has for decades been a national bellwether examined as an indicator of white middle America. Eric Castiglia, the chair who replaced Forton, took the stage at a different banquet hall and spoke of unity to the crowd that was mostly free of MAGA paraphernalia. But Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) arrived at the event fresh from Trump’s … [Read more...] about MAGA Fanatics Have a New Enemy: ‘TINOs’ — Trump In Name Only

Double Emmy Nominee Sydney Sweeney Talks About Feeling “Empathy” For Her ‘Euphoria’ Character & Her “Terrifying” ‘White Lotus’ Teen Role
As a rule, Sydney Sweeney is drawn to characters that are nothing like her. “I find that challenge interesting,” she says. But playing Cassie Howard, the LA teen who wears her emotions on her sleeve in Sam Levinson’s Euphoria was a welcome exception for the 24-year-old. “Cassie is one of the most relatable characters to me, because I search for love and acceptance, and I’m scared of being alone.” Deadline talked to Sweeney about embodying the intensity of her character, showing real depth to Cassie and what makes her character Olivia on Mike White ’s black comedy The White Lotus so terrifying. DEADLINE: Going into Season 2 of Euphoria , how was it different for you? SYDNEY SWEENEY : It’s the first time that I’m able to revisit a character. I was really excited because it was the longest time I’ve ever spent with another character — another person. So being able to go back into her shoes and learn more about her and grow was truly an experience that I’ve … [Read more...] about Double Emmy Nominee Sydney Sweeney Talks About Feeling “Empathy” For Her ‘Euphoria’ Character & Her “Terrifying” ‘White Lotus’ Teen Role
‘CODA’ Actor Troy Kotsur Has His Academy Award And Jeep Stolen, Then Recovered
Troy Kotsur was being honored by his hometown of Mesa, Arizona. But he almost lost his biggest honor of all. Kotsur reported on his Twitter account that a car thief hopped into his Jeep and took off. The CODA actor was to be honored Thursday for his achievement in becoming the first primarily deaf actor to win an Oscar, so he brought the trophy with him to the ceremony. Kotsur initially said on Twitter that “a little kid” was the person behind the crime. The city police managed to track down the Jeep with the award still inside. Kotsur posed for a photo with police, thanking them for their efforts. He comes from a police family, with several relatives having worked for law enforcement. The tweets appear to have been taken down as of midday on Sunday. No further details on the incident are available. Deadline has reached out to Kotsur’s representatives. Kotsur gained his Best Actor in a Supporting Role Oscar for his work as a father and fisherman in CODA . … [Read more...] about ‘CODA’ Actor Troy Kotsur Has His Academy Award And Jeep Stolen, Then Recovered
Alex Wagner Talks About Her Debut As Permanent MSNBC Primetime Host: “This Is Going To Be A Different Show”
When Alex Wagner debuts her new MSNBC show on Tuesday, she will be taking on an unusual arrangement that came about following Rachel Maddow’s contract renewal with NBCUniversal. While Maddow, the network’s top-rated personality, will continue to host her show on Mondays, Wagner will fill the 9 p.m. PT slot the rest of the week. Comparisons are inevitable, but while Alex Wagner Tonight will share the same executive producer with The Rachel Maddow Show, Cory Gnazzo, and Maddow has figured in promotions for the debut, Wagner said, “This is going to be a different show.” “We are trying to figure out the ways we can carry through some of the incredible intellectual rigor and informative analysis that Rachel has established in the 9 p.m. hour, and how we can make a through line with what we do Tuesday through Friday, and also add in some new elements that are reflective of my experience,” Wagner said in an interview with Deadline. “It’s been a lot of brainstorming, a lot … [Read more...] about Alex Wagner Talks About Her Debut As Permanent MSNBC Primetime Host: “This Is Going To Be A Different Show”
Los Angeles Covid Cases Up 78% In Past Four Days, Although Hospitalizations Show No Sign On Uptick
One week after Los Angeles threw off the last of its Covid restrictions, L.A. Officials are concerned about the spread of the more contagious BA.2 variant, a rise in cases and looming school and religious holidays. “While outbreaks in many sectors remain low,” the County Public Health Department said on Friday that “gatherings for Ramadan, Passover, Easter and Spring Break could eventually lead to more cases and outbreaks.” The good news is that, even with the rising case and test positivity numbers, the new variant and recently lifted restrictions, hospitalizations and deaths are not showing any signs of increase. The region’s 7-day test positivity has risen 50% since Tuesday, from 0.8% to 1.2% today. That kind of jump in a 7-day average is worth noting, even though the percentages are still very low. Cases have risen even more sharply. On Tuesday, L.A. County reported 708 new cases. Today, the number had risen 78% to 1,263 new cases, up from 1,088 … [Read more...] about Los Angeles Covid Cases Up 78% In Past Four Days, Although Hospitalizations Show No Sign On Uptick
