The resurgence of "cut-piece" (short clips with explicit content meshed into Bangladeshi films) clips in Bangladeshi cinema, once a hallmark of its "dark age," has prompted a crackdown by authorities, not too long ago. These explicit and provocative scenes tied into mainstream films alienated audiences, tarnishing the industry’s reputation, especially in the post-2000 era.

From "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" to "Jawan," Shah Rukh Khan has consistently captivated audiences with his acting talent and charismatic smile. People of all ages, from teenagers to elderly women, can never help but fall for his charm.

In all honesty, the filming of the hazed-up and sluggish diplopia, magnified mercilessly by the strong presence of hallucinatory colours resembling questionable club joints and sounds that first seep in vaguely until the individual under the influence, begins hearing properly — has become trite. The fact that an aware audience is easily able to predict the cueing in of an unnecessary drug-addled montage in a project that does not even necessitate such an addition has also become dulling — so much so that I instantly and almost mindlessly give way to a bout of onomatopoeia of disdain.

The connection between Bollywood and the underworld has been entrenched for decades. The underworld’s infiltration into the film industry began in the 1960s when gangsters like Karim Lala and Haji Mastan emerged as both feared crime bosses and powerful benefactors to the film industry. Lala, known for his kidnapping and drug-trafficking empire, was also seen as the go-to problem solver for Bollywood stars. Dilip Kumar once visited him with actress Helen to seek help in resolving a personal issue, and Lala reportedly handled it with his characteristic efficiency.

“Kaos” was envisioned as a bold contemporary retelling of Greek and Roman mythology, blending ancient narratives with modern themes in a darkly comic style. The first—and now only—season featured Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, who punished fellow god Prometheus (Stephen Dillane) by chaining him to a cliff for defying his rule. Prometheus, however, sought revenge, enlisting the help of three humans: Eurydice (Aurora Perrineau), Ariadne (Leila Farzad), and Caeneus (Misia Butler), to overthrow Zeus.
