SERIES: JUBILEE
Where to watch: Prime Video
The sepia-toned frames of this Vikramaditya Motwane directorial - a saga set in the 1940s, just a few years before the Partition - bring together stories of characters whose worlds collide in unpredictable ways. A celebration of the golden years of cinema, this is Motwane's tribute to a time when cinema and radio were the only two media of entertainment and information. There is a movie mogul Srikant Roy (Prosenjit Chatterjee) who is looking to find his next leading man in the form of Madan Kumar.
What starts with one man's single-minded passion (Aparshakti Khurana as Roy's right-hand man, Binod Das) to achieve stardom has different consequences for different people, including theatre actor Jamshed Khan (Nandish Sandhu), up-and-coming actor Jay Khanna (Siddhant Gupta in a standout performance), courtesan-turned-actor Niloufer Qureshi (Wamiqa Gabbi), and superstar Sumitra Kumari (Aditi Rao Hydari) who is married to Roy, among others. Motwane makes these lives collide in a heady concoction of politics, showbiz, glamour and art, giving each character the chance to shine. The dialogues, set design, costumes and cinematography help recreate a bygone era and an old-world charm which lovers of Hindi cinema are bound to appreciate.
