Girls Will Be Girls director Shuchi Talati says 2024 is an incredible year for independent Indian women filmmakers. “We’re collectively creating a tapestry of stories that have not been given space in our culture,” she says.

Talati’s debut feature set the tone in January by winning the audience award in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival while its 22-year-old lead actress, Preeti Panigrahi, bagged the special jury award for acting. The mother-daughter drama was more than six years in the making, with Talati first pitching it at the 2018 Nfdc Film Bazaar Co-Production Market.

Days of our Lives alum Alison Sweeney marks a major milestone with her Hallmark family this week.

After spending 20 years playing Sami Brady on Days, Alison has earned a whole new crop of fans thanks to her career on the Hallmark channel.

In 2013, Alison made her Hallmark debut in the film Second Chance, where she worked with Greg Vaughan, who plays her on-screen twin brother Eric on Days.

Fast forward over ten years, and Alison is celebrating her 30th movie for the Hallmark franchise.

It’s perfect that the flick is a Christmas movie helping kick off Hallmark’s annual Countdown to Christmas festivities.

Ahead of the premiere of This Time Each Year, the actress reflected on hitting a milestone with the Hallmark franchise.

On October 3, 2022, I, a filmmaker from Beirut, met Mumbai-based writer/director Subhadra Mahajan and producer Shyam Bora on our first day at the Global Media Makers LA Residency, a cultural exchange program supported by Film Independent and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

At the time, Subhadra and Shyam were the first filmmaking team to bring a project to the Residency in the post-production stage. Two years later, their film Second Chance had its world premiere at the Promixa Competition section of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, its Asian premiere at A Window on Asian Cinema of the Busan International Film Festival. It will now have its North American premiere in Los Angeles at AFI Fest.

I had the chance to chat with them in May, a few weeks before Karlovy Vary, to talk about the journey of making the film and their...

Subhadra Mahajan takes the helm for her first feature, Second Chance, crafting a tender exploration of personal turmoil. The drama stars Dheera Johnson as Nia, a young woman seeking respite from heartbreak in the remote Himalayan village where her family spends summers.

There, isolated from loved ones as winter sets in, Nia finds comfort in the company of Bhemi, a wise elder, and her playful grandson Sunny. While grappling with secrets from her past, Nia slowly emerges from solitude through genuine human connections in this atmospheric debut.

Reviewing the acclaimed film as it makes its world premiere on the festival circuit, we’ll examine Mahajan’s empathetic direction and her leads’ nuanced performances.

Most intriguing is the insight offered by situating personal awakening against epic mountain backdrops. So join me for a thoughtful discussion of Second Chance’s moving portrayal of inner turmoil easing through compassion.

Seeking Solace in Solitude...

It’s hard to get a cellphone signal up in the high mountains of Himachal Pradesh, in Northern India. Especially in the dead of winter when deep snowdrifts absorb all sound and jagged encircling ridges form an impenetrably icy barrier. But without WiFi coverage, Subhadra Mahajan’s spectacular and serene “Second Chance” suggests, a different, deeper kind of connection is possible — to these stark, unearthly landscapes, to the people who’ve made their lives among them, and perhaps even to the self you might have lost touch with through trauma or tiredness, down in the busy, noisy world below.

Twenty-five-year-old Nia (Dheera Johnson) is feeling estranged from herself when she takes refuge here. In a startling juxtaposition, Mahajan cuts from a black screen over which audio of an anguished voicemail plays to Nia gazing out over a stunning black-and-white vista of mountain crags riisng up from a frozen valley basin.

The setting of Subhadra Mahajan’s feature debut may be chilly, but the vibes are warm. The aptly titled film revolves around Nia, a depressed young Indian woman who leaves Delhi and escapes to her family’s Himalayan summer retreat in the dead of winter to recover from a trauma. What she experiences there belies both hers and the viewer’s expectations, in a location so icily beautiful that the region may well experience a surge of tourism. A feel-good film in the best sense of the term, Second Chance is receiving its world premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

In the film’s opening moments, we hear a frantic phone call cluing us in to Nia’s turmoil — namely, that she’s taken abortion pills after getting pregnant by a boyfriend who abandoned her and is desperate to keep the secret from her parents. Cut to a shot of Nia (Dheera Johnson,...

Debutant filmmaker Subhadra Mahajan’s Second Chance (2024) is a gentle portrait of a young woman’s exploration of love, death, and the resurgence of hope. It centers around a protagonist who shrinks her mental space and tries to refuse the reality that eats her up from the inside. The evocative story follows a single, pregnant woman coping with abandonment by her boyfriend. Enhanced by a mournful score and naturalistic approach, the film seeks depth in a simple yet hopeful tale. This lends the story a certain simplicity, bringing it further into the realm of a humane tale and offering a thoughtful exploration of human relationships without overshadowing its primary focus. Mahajan’s storytelling style, which is slow-paced and introspective, can be seen as having a blend of deep affinity and detached observation. Instead of deeply immersing the viewers in the protagonist’s emotional struggles through melodrama, she approaches it with a detached yet empathetic observation,...

When The Hollywood Reporter caught up with Lara Flynn Boyle for a rare interview in June 2021, she had a new movie to promote, Death in Texas, her first in five years. But Boyle was quick to swat away any chatter of a comeback by saying, politely, “I never went anywhere.”

The veteran star, now 54, has maintained a relatively low profile ever since but she’s back once again with another interview, this time with People, timed to the release of another new movie, Niclas Larsson’s Mother, Couch opposite Ewan McGregor, Rhys Ifans, Taylor Russell and Ellen Burstyn.

The wide-ranging, one-hour conversation with writer Eric Andersson at the Beverly Hills Hotel’s Polo Lounge finds Boyle opening up about ageism in Hollywood, dating actors, and her marriage to Texas real estate developer Donald Ray Thomas. Even though it’s becoming something of a trend, Boyle once again swats away talk...

The film is set to debut on July 2 in the festival’s Proxima Competition section.

The film tells the story of Nia, a young woman from the city who returns to her family home in the western Himalayas after a decade-long absence. Grappling with personal trauma, Nia forms an unexpected bond with Bhemi, an elderly mountain woman, and Sunny, a spirited young boy. As Nia begins to heal, she must confront the demons of her past while striving for a new beginning.

“Second Chance” was developed through various industry programs, including Produire Au Sud Kolkata 2020, Nfdc Film Bazaar Co-Production Market 2020 and the Cannes Marche du Co-Production Day 2021. The film also participated in the Film Independent Global Media Makers...

Exclusive: Deadline can reveal a first look at writer-director Subhadra Mahajan’s debut feature, Second Chance, which will premiere at the upcoming Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.

The black-and-white film from India will compete in the festival’s Proxima section, which kicks off on June 28. Set in the Pir Panjal range of the state of Himachal Pradesh in northern India, the film follows the story young woman Nia, who after experiencing the first major trauma of her life, retreats to her family home in the Himalayas where time, nature and unlikely friendships help her heal. The caretaker of the house departs on an errand, leaving his mother-in-law Bhemi, 70, in charge along with his son Sunny, 8.

In a statement, Mahajan said that the film is inspired by some of her personal experiences, especially growing up in Himachal Pradesh — although she currently resides in Mumbai. The film features Hindi, English and Kullavi languages.

Everyone knows Matthew Perry as Chandler Bing on the hit NBC sitcom "Friends," but he was also briefly a part of the beloved classic "Growing Pains" for a three-episode arc in 1989. "Growing Pains" was yet another 1980s and 1990s family-oriented sitcom that explored — as the title indicates — the joys and pains of adolescence in a heartwarming yet comical manner. The three episodes Matthew Perry featured in — "In Carol We Trust," "Anniversary from Hell," and "Second Chance" — served as an after-school special to teach viewers about the risks of drunk driving. The episodes also featured a statistic on the deaths or accidents linked to alcohol United States.

Matthew Perry played Sandy, Carol Seaver's new boyfriend. After having a few beers on their date, Sandy ends up hitting a tree and is subsequently hospitalized and charged with drunk driving. During the scene where Carol visits him at the hospital, Perry showcases his...

Pan Nalin, producer and director of Indian Oscar-shortlisted film “Last Film Show,” has boarded Subhadra Mahajan’s debut feature “Second Chance” as an executive producer.

Mahajan previously served as assistant director on Nalin’s “Echo of Eco,” “Angry Indian Goddesses,” “Beyond the Known World” and “Last Film Show.”

Actor Matthew Perry, who rose to stardom with his portrayal of Chandler Bing in the iconic sitcom ‘Friends’, breathed his last as he died at the age of 54 at his Los Angeles home. His portrayal broke new grounds, and over the years has become a mark of the 1990s.

One of the reasons Perry fits in so well as Chandler is his proximity to the character in some sense. Like Chandler, Perry’s parents too separated when he was an infant.

He grew up in Ottawa, Ontario and stayed with his Canadian mother, who was a journalist and served as press secretary to former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, the father of the current Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau.

As his mother later married Canadian-born broadcast journalist Keith Morrison, Matthew also lived briefly in Toronto and Montreal.

At the age of 15, Perry moved from Ottawa to Los Angeles to live with his biological father,...

Matthew Perry, the actor known for playing Chandler Bing on the hit NBC sitcom “Friends,” has died. He was 54.

Perry was found dead Saturday in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home, law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times. Authorities found him unresponsive around 4 p.m., and there was no signs of foul play or drugs on the scene.

Perry gained international recognition for his role as the wry, fast-on-his-feet twentysomething Chandler on “Friends,” which ran for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004. He earned a Primetime Emmy nomination in 2002 for his performance on the iconic sitcom. Among the six stars in the “Friends” ensemble, Perry was ambitious as a performer and a producer, but he also grappled with a long struggle with substance abuse that stunted his career. Later in life, particularly with his 2022 book, “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir,” Perry focused much of his energy...
