Ujda Chaman shifts to November 1, 2019

There is nothing surprising in two movies exploring similar themes releasing on the same date. There have been several such incidents in the past. But when the news came in that Ayushmann Khurrana's Bala and Sunny Singh's Ujda Chaman releasing within a day of each other, it created a lot of commotion in the trade.

Bala was initially scheduled to hit the silver screen in the second half of November. But soon the makers decided to shift its release a day before Ujda Chaman on November 7. The latest we hear that the makers of the Sunny Singh starrer have also decided to change the release date of their film. As per sources, the makers of Ujda Chaman have now booked November 1, to release their film.

A source close to the development informs an entertainment portal, “It was an obvious choice that the makers of Ujda Chaman would change the release date of their venture. Given the fact that Bala and Ujda Chaman are quite similar, it makes no sense to release both films in quick succession. Moving ahead the release date was a logical move.”

For the uninitiated, Bala and Ujda Chaman both films revolve around a young man worried about his receding hairline. Besides Ayushmann Khurrana, Bala also stars Bhumi Pednekar and Yami Gautam. It will be really interesting to see which film fares well at the ticket window.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
