There are moments in Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey where we, the viewers, are confronted with the horrors of the real world - the darkest, most repulsive truths that we want to turn away from. And every time we feel we have the lay of the land and can recognise the monster lurking beneath, the narrative peels back another layer, revealing who the true monsters are. To take a story that has been told and retold countless times over three millennia and give it their own touch is an unenviable task. To do so in a manner that probably even elevates some elements of the original is mind-boggling. But the master filmmaker that Christopher Nolan is, he does it. With elan. The Odyssey is just the latest film that will again spark debate about which is Nolan’s best work. It is a sprawling saga blending modern sensibilities with timeless motifs, aided by unprecedented camera work and an impeccable score. On top of that are the performances from a solid cast, some of whom have given their best work ever here.

To call singer Hiroshi Kitadani an icon is almost an understatement. In the world of J-pop (Japanese pop music), he is a legend. And his fame and following is compounded by the fact that he is behind some of the most recognisable songs from the anime world, notably We Are!, the theme song of the global phenomenon, ONE PIECE.

The 62-year-old was recently in India to perform We Are! in front of an Indian crowd for the first time. On the sidelines, Kitadani sat down to talk to Hindustan Times about his India trip, ONE PIECE, and his love for Indian films.

Seventy five years ago, my father left his job in Lakshmi Jute Mills and joined the Indian Military Academy as a member of the second batch of Army Engineers for independent India. There was a problem though. His parents and eight siblings were still in Bangladesh trying to sell their property and move and daddy felt sure that if the Academy got a whiff of that, he would immediately be asked to leave.
That wasn’t the half of it. Those were the days of serious ragging and a tongue-tied Bengali from a no name school and no money was more than fair game for seniors. Daddy spent the first six weeks rolling on tar and polishing shoes for a whole wing. When he did have a moment to think, he worried about when they would find out about his family across the border.
Half way through the course, the dreaded call came. The commandant, Brigadier Kochar wanted to meet him. When my father entered, he told him that he was on the verge of being expelled for poor grades. Since it was all over anyway, my father blurted out the entire truth about his family.
Kochar listened for a while, and then told him that he would take care of the police verification for the rest of the course, all daddy had to worry about was getting through.
My father managed to hang in there and graduate and served the army with distinction over the next three decades. His family duly came across next year and became Indian citizens.
Years later my father met Brigadier Kochar, the man who saved his career, and he did not even remember my father. Daddy always believed that Kochar was the kind of man who just did the right and honest thing, no matter what the circumstances were, and he also tried to do the same with every junior in his career.
So on this bright and bonny New Year, remember and celebrate the ones that did the right thing by you and make those opportunities count. And don’t forget to pass it on.

#MovieReview | Halfway into Kantara: Chapter 1, I could not help but feel that the film, like the original Kantara, was an elaborate setup for a visually splendid payoff. The film tests your patience, exhausts you, and frustrates you before eventually rewarding you with what is one of the most visually stunning climaxes in recent times.

Now Watching #KantaraChapter1 FDFS. Thoughts till the interval: the scale is bigger, the world immersive, but the narrative seems scattered so far. #RishabShetty commands the screen, and the visuals are stunning, as expected.
