Crowded House, The Living End and one big week of music at Fremantle Prison

Crowded House have added a second show at Fremantle Prison in the same week that Australian punk rockers The Living End will also take the stage at the historic venue. In what promises to be a huge start to summer entertainment at the prison, The Living End will belt out anthem hits such as Prisoner of Society, All Torn Down and Second Solution on Saturday, November 29 before one of the world's most iconic and spellbinding bands, Crowded House, perform twice in three days. Their first announced show on Friday, December 5 is already sold out, leading organisers to squeeze in a second gig on Wednesday, December 3. The ARIA Hall of Famers performed to sold out crowds last December at Sandalford Wines as part of the Red Hot Summer Tour. They are considered one of the most universally loved bands ever to tour Australia, with Don't Dream Its Over, Fall At Your Feet, Into Temptation, Something So Strong, Sister Madly and Four Seasons In One Day just some of their chart-toppers that have provided a lyrical background for multiple generations. The band still features two original members including Neil Finn, whose meticulous, indelible melodies and impressionistic lyrics have stood the test of time and earned him devoted fans across the world. Finn's sons Elroy and Liam, Mitchell Froom and Nick Seymour – who was with Finn from the band's beginning – make up the current iteration responsible or its eighth studio album Gravity Stairs, which was released last year. Tickets for Crowded House's Wednesday show are already on sale. Presale for The Living End starts today, with general tickets available Friday.

Free for Reel: Mumbai's free-to-attend film screening clubs

On Tuesday afternoon, I found myself in a packed theatre at the National Museum of Indian Cinema (NMIC) in Mumbai for a screening of Thithi, Raam Reddy's award-winning 2015 Kannada feature. Two hours later, as the credits rolled, Reddy launched into a workshop about his journey as a filmmaker and the making of Thithi, warning the audience that it would last at least an hour and a half. Very few people left their seats. Towards the end, he screened an unreleased trailer for The Fable, saying his upcoming film is in the 'magic realism genre". During the Q&A, an audience member asked what that meant. Reddy explained: magic realism treats the magical not as spectacle but as fact, woven into the everyday setting of the plot. Also read: What to watch this week: 'Thug Life', 'The Living End' and more It struck me that the person asking the question likely wasn't 'from the scene". This was a free, public screening. Anyone who saw the announcement on the Instagram feeds of the organisers—NMIC, NFDC (National Film Development Corporation) or the VHS (Versova Homage Screening) collective—could attend. In that room, newcomers and cinephiles, students and artists sat side by side, drawn not by exclusivity or ticket prices but by a shared love for cinema. Over the past year, I've seen more such scenes emerge in Mumbai: film screenings that are free and accessible, and spaces where community grows alongside cinema. VHS has been hosting such screenings for over a year, followed by informal Q&As with directors. 'When we started, we invited friends, collaborators, fellow filmmakers," says Rohan K. Mehta, writer/director and co-founder of VHS. 'But word spread quickly. Demand far outgrew venue size, so we moved to a form-based RSVP system." The audience today is a mix of regulars and curious newcomers. Most of their screenings happen in and around Andheri, the heart of the film industry in Mumbai. 'Down south, places like G5A and the Film Heritage Foundation also screen rare and exceptional films," Mehta adds. These screenings are either free or priced between ₹100-250. Then there's started by Apan Singhal, a Delhi-based product designer and software developer. It curates film screenings across Mumbai, Delhi and Bengaluru, sharing updates via city-specific WhatsApp groups. 'The idea came two years ago when I realised film viewing had become a solitary activity in the post-OTT world," says Singhal. 'Fillum tries to bring back the community aspect." The Mumbai group now has over 200 members. 'Around 50% of all film events in Mumbai are free, and most of the rest are under ₹250," he says.

Each session hosts about 20-25 people who debate between two classic films, vote, and watch the winner together. Everyone introduces themselves before the screening, with one fun fact and one life tip. 'People need third spaces," says the club's co-founder, who prefers to stay anonymous. 'Places where you show up as you are, do something together, maybe meet someone new. Free screenings matter not just for the films, but for the feeling of belonging. That's the whole point." These spaces are becoming less gate-kept. I've lived in Mumbai long enough to feel like a local, but not long enough to take these pockets for granted. It's heartening that anyone can walk into a room full of strangers, find a seat, and be part of something cinematic. All it takes is following the right Instagram handle.

What to watch this week: ‘Thug Life', ‘The Living End' and more

38 years after Nayakan, director Mani Ratnam and actor Kamal Haasan reunite for action film, Thug Life. Haasan plays Rangaraaya Sakthivel Naicker, a gangster who takes young Amaran (played by Silambarasan TR) in his fold after killing his father. The plot hinges on the two being pitted against each other by Sakthivel's rivals. The cast also includes Trisha Krishnan and Ali Fazal. (In theatres) A still from 'The Living End'. A drifter and a film critic go on a wild road trip in this film by Gregg Araki (The Doom Generation, Mysterious Skin). This 1992 feature was a key work of New Queer Cinema, a loose movement that included independent LGBTQ films made in the early '90s. The film's title comes from a Jesus and Mary Chain song, and the soundtrack is a mixture of shoegaze and punk numbers. (MUBI) 'K.O' stars UFC heavyweight Ciryl Gane. After Bastien kills his opponent in a fight, he becomes a recluse. Years later, he's tasked by the man's widow to find her missing son. He ends up taking on a brutal crime cartel in Marseille. This gritty action film stars UFC heavyweight Ciryl Gane and is directed by Antoine Blossier. (Netflix) A still from 'Oh My Ghost Clients'. Jung Kyung-ho has played a number of memorable roles from the top hagwon instructor in Crash Course in Romance, to prison guard in Prison Playbook and a doctor in Hospital Playlist. In this new K-drama he plays a labour attorney who after a near-death experience starts seeing ghosts who have died in industrial accidents and want him to take these workplaces to task. Helping him on this part-funny. part-melodramatic and part-serious journey is his sister-in-law Na Hee Ju (Seol In Ah) and YouTuber Go Gyeon Woo (Cha Hak Yeon). (Netflix)
