India’s ‘Mahamantra’ Bridges Ancient Wisdom and Modern Crisis, Teaser Unveiled

Naman Ramachandran In an era where global upheaval dominates headlines, Indian filmmaker Girish Malik is stepping forward with an ambitious docu-drama that aims to offer ancient solutions to modern problems. “Mahamantra,” his latest directorial venture, is being presented at the European Film Market, and weaves together Vedic philosophy, contemporary science and urgent social commentary in what he describes as “a cry from the soul.” “The genesis of ‘Mahamantra’ was born from the ashes of personal struggle and a world seemingly teetering on the brink,” Malik says. “Recent years have felt like a relentless assault — wars, environmental collapse, pandemics … a constant barrage of chaos.” The film, produced by Malik’s Clapstem Prods., marks a bold departure from Malik’s previous works, including his Netflix hit “Torbaaz” (2021) and the politically leaning musical “Band of Maharajas” (2024).

‘You, Me & Her’ Review: A Married Couple Admits a Plus-One in Deft Relationship Tale

Dennis Harvey Film Critic It is the classic convention of marital comedies that couples’ attempts to spice things up with extra partners invariably end up sending them back, chastened, to each other. That’s not exactly how things work out in “You, Me & Her,” which doesn’t wag a moralizing finger at its protagonists’ flirtation with throupledom. But this pleasing collaboration between director Dan Levy Dagerman and writer-star Selina Ringel — who are duly married — ultimately proves less about sexy polyamorous hijinks than negotiating the sometimes daunting difficulties of long-term wedded domesticity.
