Watch: Kesari 2, #1 Happy Family USA - Revisionism & Representation

The Hindu01-05-2025
When does creative liberty cross the line into propaganda? On this week's FOMO Fix, Sudhish Kamath dives into Bollywood's obsession with rewriting history — and how filmmakers like Tarantino and Sorkin show a smarter, more honest way to do it.
In this episode:
Hype Check: Kesari 2 turns a national tragedy into jingoistic fan fiction, with F-bomb punchlines and dishonest representation
TV Gold: Ramy Youssef's #1 Happy Family USA is the sharp, poignant satire you need to be watching right now
Heads Up: Crazxy — terrible title, surprisingly good thriller. Superboys of Malegaon — a sincere and entertaining film that still raises tough questions about credit, voice, and representation. You (Netflix) — the stalker saga ends, and you're better off skipping the finale.
Skip the cringe. Stream the gold. Your weekly film companion, Bollywood reporter, and TV guide is here.

Raghav Chadha Reveals Why He Was Forced To Come On Kapil's Show Barefoot

Last Updated: Raghav Chadha appeared barefoot on The Great Indian Kapil Show and revealed his shoes were stolen, leaving everyone, including Kapil, in splits! The upcoming episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show will host Parineeti Chopra with her politician husband, Raghav Chadha. The trailer of the show was recently dropped, and it is nothing but a laughter riot. In the trailer, Raghav Chadha can be seen entering the stage without footwear, and the reason behind his being barefoot will make you all ROFL. In the promo, Raghav Chadha arrives on the show barefoot, and Kapil quickly takes a dig at him, questioning the politician, 'Mannat maangi thi aapne ki meri Pari se shaadi hogi toh mai Kapil ke show pe nange paon jaaunga?" (Did you take a vow that if you got married to Pari, then you would walk barefoot on Kapil's show?). Raghav then reveals the real hilarious reason behind his action, his shoes had been stolen. We then see Krushna Abhishek and Kiku Sharda entering dressed as females and calling Raghav 'Jiju'. Parineeti and Raghav tied the knot in a dreamy ceremony at The Leela Palace in Udaipur in 2023. Their wedding was a beautiful blend of glam and tradition, with several notable names from both the entertainment industry and the world of politics in attendance. What's Next for Parineeti Chopra On the work front, Parineeti Chopra last won hearts with her role in Amar Singh Chamkila alongside Diljit Dosanjh. The film was directed by Imtiaz Ali. She is now gearing up for a Netflix web series, produced by Siddharth P. Malhotra and Sapna Malhotra. The title and details around the plot still remain under wraps. Meanwhile, Kapil Sharma has been in the headlines ever since the shocking incident of gunfire outside his Canada café. There were reports that Kapil might cancel the shoot of his popular chat show, The Great Indian Kapil Show, following the incident, but it looks like he has chosen another path and is continuing with all his work commitments. Now, the café has reopened and, while sharing the news, the café's official page said: 'We've missed you and are truly grateful for your continued love and support. With heartfelt thanks, we're opening our doors again – ready to welcome you back with warmth, comfort, and care. See you soon." First Published:

Korean star Park Bo Gum, who never had plastic surgery, reveals secret to perfect skin: ‘I'd skip …'

Korean sensation Park Bo Gum recently revealed the secret behind his enviable porcelain skin and hinted that having impeccable skin involves some sacrifices. In a chat with his 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' co-star, actress-singer IU, the ' Reply 1988 ' star hinted that flawless skin doesn't come free of cost. When the 'Blueming' hitmaker gently ribbed him that his radiant skin made 'worlds of dermatology, comedy, and magic nervous,' the actor replied that he often avoided eating or drinking the day before shooting, as he wanted to avoid pimple breakouts. 'I wanted to look my best,' he admitted. He added, 'I really appreciate that people smile when they see my face, so every week before the shoot, I'd skip food completely, just to keep the pimples away.' He also revealed that he often drank less water so as to keep energy levels up. 'If I drink a lot of water and stay hydrated, I look fabulous during 'Cantabile' recordings,' he stated. In a 2016 media interaction, the actor revealed that he had never undergone plastic surgery and that 'every part' of his face was his own. He also stated that he avoided smoking and drinking to keep his skin looking impeccable Bo-gum and IU recently starred together in the romantic slice-of-life drama When Life Gives You Tangerines. Created by writer Lim Sang-choon and helmed by director Kim Won-seok, the show premiered on Netflix from March 7 to March 28, 2025. The series earned strong critical acclaim for its acting, storytelling, and cinematic execution. At the 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, it secured eight nominations and won four major honors, including Best Drama. The show has drawn favorable comparisons to the beloved series Reply 1988, which also featured Bo-gum, due to its heartfelt portrayal of Korean life and emotionally rich narrative. Its nostalgic tone and relatable themes have made it a standout success in contemporary Korean television.
