people call me tiger in yari road , some people call me tiger bhai . some even call me salim bhai or hari . a director friend of mine says it ' s a huge compliment if they remember your characters .

the periyar tiger trail is an official programme of the periyar tiger reserve and not a private operated event . some people sell the ticket in blackmarket at a rather high price . for now ptr has stopped tiger trail programme because of increasing complaints . periyar tiger reserve has an official website urltoken where you can book all the tickets directly without any agents in between .

harshil p , good that you brought this to the forum . periyar tiger trail is a priavte tour operator .

salim khan revealed why he doesn’t write scripts for his superstar son , salman khan .

' some people call me tiger bhai . a director friend of mine says it ' s a huge compliment if they remember your characters '

in january 1993 , dawood ordered his lieutenants to act . “dawood ibrahim exhorted us to rise in rebellion against the hindus , ” recalled gangster salim mirza sheikh — known in mumbai ' s underworld as ‘salim kutta , ' or salim the dog — in a statement to police .

salim khan has some stark revelations about salman khan . here are the deets | the indian express

image : director aditya bhattacharya has a small role in black friday . here , he chats with pavan malhotra ' s tiger memon in black friday .

in a candid conversation , salim khan reveals why he never wrote scripts for his eldest son salman khan .

both salim langde pe mat ro and bagh bahadur got national awards for best feature film in the same year , but i did not get any award .

meanwhile , i hope periyar tiger trail is reading this post and will respond to this . else , as suggested by earthyroutes _ tours , you should take up this matter with the tourism department and travellers should be warned of this operator

by most accounts , dawood initially resisted the pressure . after the anti - muslim violence that followed the demolition of the babri masjid , though , hardline members of his networks like mushtaq abdul razzak ‘tiger ' memon are believed to have demanded retaliation .

besides creating characters like the angry young man , basanti , gabbar singh and mogambo , salim - javed bought credibility to a profession that had previously been relegated to the background .

two of my films - - salim langde pe mat ro and ; bagh bahadur - - won national awards and i played the lead in both . but still . . .

image : pavan malhotra couldn ' t believe that he , and not ashutosh gowariker , was playing the title role in salim langde pe mat ro . the film also stars tom alter .

like in salim langde pe mat ro , the character scratches his crotch . i didn ' t do it for the camera . it would be noticed only if someone had to notice .

he has delivered top - notch performances in films like salim langde pe mat ro , black friday and jab we met and we still remember him fondly from his earliest television serial , nukkad .

salim and salman share a heart - warming relationship . salim khan has time and again backed his son and slammed the haters of salman with his on - the - face attitude . he dotes on his eldest son and is evidently concerned about him . salman too has been quite vocal about his relationship with his father . he has often said how his father is an inspiration to him .

there ' s a reason behind salim ' s cocky walking style - - he wants people to notice him . the mamu in bhendi bazaar or sikandar in my name is anthony gonsalves are different .

i went to subhash ghai ' s office for work and gave him a video cassette of salim langde pe mat ro . he saw the first 10 minutes and returned it to me without saying anything .

i also asked everyone connected to that place if they had ever met him ( tiger memon , the mastermind of the 1993 bombay bomb blasts whom pavan malhotra played ) . one person said he had met him for 10 minutes and had noticed that whenever he spoke to someone , he would lean towards that person .

salim - javed singularly changed the way hindi cinema looked at writers . salim khan’s filmography might have had no additions for the last 17 years but when your writing credits include the likes of zanjeer ( 1972 ) , sholay ( 1975 ) , deewar ( 1975 ) , trishul ( 1978 ) and don ( 1978 ) amongst others , you really don’t have anything left to prove . a keen follower of hollywood films , it was khan who thought of the plots and the story while akhtar concentrated on the detailing . more than the films themselves it’s their contribution to the craft of screenwriting that separates salim - javed from others .

salim khan has a lot more to reveal about his equation with salman on this week’s episode of the show . it will be interesting to know some hidden secrets about chulbul pandey of bollywood from his father .

a positive move by ptr management in line with many complaints against the mr . sajimon salim . the person and his company has been declared as black listed by ptr . details available on their official website . follow the link :

today , when his former writing partner is championing the cause of present day writers by helping usher in a new copyright law that would give them rightful ownership over their work , one can’t help thinking of salim khan , the original crusader for the writer .

one half of the cult duo ‘salim - javed’ who spun blockbusters like deewaar , sholay , don , trishul , and many more says , “if a movie fails , it is my fault . if it is a hit , it is salman’s efforts ! ”

khan diligently watches his son’s films and habitually stops to discuss them at salman’s ground floor apartment in the same building before coming up to his own apartment . a few years ago when he saw kyon ki… he didn’t bother talking about it and when salman came up to enquire about the film salim simply told him that it was a bad film . when salman said that everyone else seemed to think otherwise , salim , the original dabangg told him he’d be mad to expect yes men and fans to tell him the truth ever .

saeed was doing a reading session with makarand deshpande , ashutosh gowariker , me and a few others . i shaved off my moustache thinking that i would get to play the character abdul , which was eventually done by ashutosh . i wasn ' t even thinking about salim .

have you ever wondered why veteran scriptwriter salim khan , the sciptwriter behind some of 70s and 80s biggest hits alongwith javed akhtar — never wrote scripts for his son salman khan ? if yes , then the father of dabangg actor , salman khan has let the cat out of the bag for you .

the star might have given salim - javed their official break as a team but it was their script that gave khanna his first colossal hit in the form of haathi mere saathi ( 1971 ) . he muses that khanna could never come to terms with the reality that his glory days were long gone .

one day , when i went to saeed ' s office , he asked me if i was working out . i said i was not into that . so he said , " you better start gyming because you are going to play karim . " ( the character was initially called karim , not salim ) .

i did feel bad that even after doing hero roles , i never got a lead role . i don ' t know if i ' m good looking even though this industry made me feel i ' m handsome . i had no make - up for salim langde pe mat ro ; i only dyed my moustache black .

by contrast the mere mention of salim - javed makes people rattle off the classic lines such as ‘ mere paas maa hai ’ , ‘ kitne aadmi the ? ’ , ‘ tumhara naam kya hai basanti’ , ‘ don ka intezaar to gyarah mulkon ki police kar rahi hai’ , or ‘yeh police station hai , tumhare baap ka ghar nahin . ’

while struggling with small acting jobs he met javed akhtar , the son of poet jan nissar akhtar , on the sets of sarhadi lootera ( 1966 ) . akhtar was the director sm sagar’s clapper boy who had ambled his way to become the film’s dialogue writer . once salim grasped that his “art of imagination” was much better than his “art of projection” he called it curtains on his acting career .

although he grew up in a family of police officers , salim khan dreamt of being a cricketer . but when he realised that he’d never be as good as his idols he headed to bombay . he trained as a pilot , but his dreams ended up reaching for the stars . the smart - looking young man tried his luck in front of the camera but destiny beckoned him to the other side .

there were hindi films with great lines long before salim khan and javed akhtar happened . one might never forget mughal - e - azam ( 1960 ) and its immortal lines like “ hum apne bete ke dhadakte hue dil ke liye hindustan ki taqdeer nahin badal sakte” but very few remember the men who wrote them . the names of writers aman , wajahat mirza and ehsan rizvi don’t mean as much to the fans of mughal - e - azam .

before the trip one of us dropped out due to personal reason . before the start of trip we approached saji for cancellation and return of money for that person . saji agreed over the email . just before the start of trip , saji emailed us that tiger trail is not possible due to some reason and he has arranged for the jungle camp and trekking in gavi and said that differential money ( less than what it should have been ) will be paid back . later we clarified that differential money and saji agreed and confirmed the same via email . we followed up with him over phone , whatsapp and email . thus far we have not received the single penny but false commitments .

tigers don’t talk about hunting but if they ever did , i imagine it would be like listening to salim khan talk about films . like a predator he effortlessly picks the right words and every single one is there for a reason . his sentences play like some of his iconic lines — they create the right silence . at 77 you might think that the man , who transformed the hindi film landscape with his sharp writing , might have lost some of his edge but that couldn’t be more further from the truth .

in a candid conversation on zee classic’s ‘my life my story , ’ salim khan revealed why he doesn’t write scripts for his superstar son , salman khan . the ace writer said , “it’s not that i haven’t written films for salman . i had written a film for him , pathar ke phool , which did reasonably well too . even today , when i pitch a script , people always have a question that if it is good then why is salman not acting . but i wanted to get out of that vicious circle . ”

although they split in the early 1980s and have rarely met in decades , akhtar hasn’t forgotten or undermined khan’s contribution to their success . it was khan who decided that the writers’ names should adorn the posters . he believed that if five songs could get the lyricist a credit on the poster then why not those who wrote the whole damn thing ? the two hired a painter and set him off to stencil ‘written by salim - javed’ on zanjeer ’s posters on the night before the release of the film . khan reminisces that the poor artist was drunk and ended up painting their names all over the posters , and at places even on the faces of the actors , but the message was conveyed .

the more interested khan got in screenwriting , the stronger his friendship with akhtar became . little did he know that this creative partnership would transform hindi cinema forever .

it’s not like khan has always been right . while on the rolls of sippy films story department , khan once famously mentioned that a day will come when writers would get paid as much as the star . he was wrong . he and akhtar made more money than the stars they wrote for .

for a man who changed the morality of the hindi film hero , khan is unfazed by the missing spotlight . or at least he appears to be . when asked , he looks at you silently for a while before answering . he assures you that he misses it and you’d be a fool to believe that people don’t miss the high .

but more than anything else , khan prides himself for being a “sensible” man who realizes that nothing lasts forever . he believes that if one chooses to ignore things , everything could blow up in the blink of an eye . he cites the example of rajesh khanna and just how fleeting success can be .

khan thinks his superstar son , salman khan , too , believes somewhere within him that the rs 100 crore streak and all things celebrated can last forever . the successful screenwriter within him understands the unparalleled success that make stars like rajesh khanna and his son believe in their immortality . but the father in him continues to be the voice of reason for salman , something that khanna never had .

salman might have disagreed with his father that night but kyon ki ’s abysmal performance at the box - office surely reminded him that no matter what his father still says it the way it is .

dawood ibrahim kaksar believed in the kind of paradise built with bricks and hard cash .

his last known home in karachi sprawled across 6 , 000 - square metres , complete with a private swimming pool , gym and tennis courts . in the evenings , he would travel in a car picked from his fleet of mercedes , clad in designer suits , a $ 1 , 000 patek philippe watch on his wrist , for all - night orgies .

“dawood and his companions , ” the pakistani investigative journalist ghulam husnain recorded in a 2001 exposé , “quit only at dawn and collectively offer fajr [ dawn ] prayers . ”

for years , india ' s intelligence services have been watching the emergence and flowering of a curious alliance between dawood ibrahim ' s karachi - based organised crime empire and pakistan ' s jihadists : men driven by the belief that the sacrifice of life in god ' s name will unlock the gates of a very different kind of paradise .

last week ' s arrest of mumbai residents abdul latif sheikh and riyaz ali for plotting terror attacks on mumbai has once again focussed attention on these linkages . bashir khan , a dawood lieutenant wanted for his role in planning the 1993 serial bombings in mumbai , is alleged to have recruited the two men and supervised their operations .

driven by their common pursuit of power and legitimacy , enabled by decades of communal violence , and orchestrated by pakistan ' s feared inter - services intelligence directorate , the alliance enabled the emergence of a jihadist movement drawn from india ' s cities — and continues to do so .

dawood ' s alliance with the isi began as a desperate effort to protect his empire . estimate suggests that until 1991 dawood ' s organised crime networks smuggled almost 200 tonnes of gold into india each year . however , the liberalisation of gold imports in 1992 led to the collapse of this enterprise .

pakistani narcotics traffickers yusuf godhrawala and taufiq jallianwala are believed to have carried overtures from the isi in 1992 , offering dawood a share in their trade in return for funnelling weapons into india .

hundreds of kilograms of military - grade explosives , along with assault rifles and grenades provided by the isi , were landed off the maharashtra coast in early 1993 . bashir khan played a key role in the operation — as well as the serial bombings which followed .

in the years that followed , dawood ' s alliance with jihadists in pakistan flowered . in october 2003 , the united states treasury department determined that the crime syndicate ' s “smuggling routes from south asia , the middle east and africa are shared with osama bin - laden and his terrorist network . ” dawood ibrahim had also “financially supported islamic militant groups working against india , such as [ the ] lashkar - e - taiba . ”

last year , the ustd sanctioned al - qaeda linked lashkar - e - taiba commander arif kasmani for multiple operations , “including the july 2006 train bombing in mumbai , and the february 2007 samjota [ samjhauta ] express bombing in panipat . ” the treasury added that qasmani utilised “money that he received from dawood ibrahim , an indian crime figure and terrorist supporter , to facilitate the july 2006 train bombing in mumbai . ”

inside india , two separate organised crime networks operating under dawood ibrahim ' s patronage began working to lay the foundations for the multiple lashkar - linked indian jihadist networks , now known as the indian mujahideen .

early in 2002 , dawood - affiliated gangster asif raza khan was killed in a shootout with the gujarat police . his brother , amir raza khan , swore revenge . in the wake of the 2002 pogrom in gujarat , khan tied up with indian mujahideen commander riyaz shahbandri to send dozens of volunteers from maharashtra and gujarat to jihadist training camps in bangladesh and pakistan .

shahbandri ' s politics was deeply influenced by his brother iqbal bhatkal , a neo - conservative preacher , and shafiq ahmad , a relative who went on to head the students islamic movement of india ' s chapter in mumbai . khan , by contrast , had no religious inclinations . both jihadists and the underworld cooperated in the common cause of winning legitimacy among the riot - hit community .

karachi - based ganglord rasool khan ‘party ' — another long - standing dawood vassal — played a similar role , working with hyderabad - based cleric maulana mohammad naseeruddin and ahmedabad seminary chief maulana sufiyan patangia . more than a dozen men from hyderabad and ahmedabad were eventually flown to lashkar - e - taiba , jaish - e - mohammad and harkat ul - jihad - e - islami training camps in pakistan — routed through karachi , where rasool khan and patangia are now hiding out .

dawood ibrahim ' s organised crime networks continue to provide both finance and logistics assistance to jihadists . in a report released earlier this month , the brussels - based international crisis group noted that the jamaat - ul - mujahideen bangladesh ' s networks were closely linked to fake - currency networks run by the lashkar - e - taiba , with dawood ibrahim ' s assistance .

pavan malhotra , one of our finest actors , shows us another side of bollywood .

after a four - hour chat over tea and cookies , the actor , a total gentleman , made sure to give urltoken ' s patcy n a lift in his suv .

' the first two roles that faisal gave me were in english plays . i still don ' t know what i said in one of them '

y parents came to delhi after partition . it was difficult for them , but luckily , i did not see any hardships .

i was the youngest after three brothers and two sisters - - one sister passed away - - and by the time i was born , my father had established his business of making machine tools .

towards the end of my schooling , a friend took me for a play . he was part of a theatre group called ruchika . ( legendary theatre personality ) ebrahim alkazi ' s son faizal was also a part of it .

my friend asked if i would act in a play . i thought he was thinking of a play during janmasthami in our society , so i agreed . but then i realised he was talking about a show where there would be a ticket . i wondered why anyone would cast me in such a show .

anyway , i ended up doing six characters in that play , tughlak . they were impressed and asked me to join ruchika .

i didn ' t know much english because i went to a hindi medium school and those people would converse in english . sometimes i wouldn ' t even know what the topic was .

the first two roles that faisal gave me were in english plays . i still don ' t know what i said in one of them .

then i was cast in a hindi play , father . i played an orderly and for the first time , i saw my name in a newspaper . it said : ' pavan malhotra , as an orderly , was impressive . ' i kept looking at the cutting for a week .

my father did not mind it , but one day , he told me , very emotionally , that i needed to learn the family business . after that day , i stopped doing theatre .

' s production team to our office to buy spirit . that ' s when we learnt that an english film on mahatma gandhi was being shot .

after a week , a friend called and said the gandhi film unit wanted a wardrobe assistant . i didn ' t know anything about it , but she said it would be just like what we used to do for theatre .

i assured my father that it would be my last job in the performing arts ) theatre , and he said okay .

i had never seen a film shoot before that . we shot for a week and really enjoyed it . then the shoot shifted to bombay .

in bombay , they had booked the entire floor at rajkamal studio , where our wardrobes were set up . we were put up at the sea rock hotel .

the shooting for the satyagraha scene where om puri comes to meet gandhi happened in the nearby bylanes .

i got an offer for jaane bhi do yaaro and told my parents about it . the salary was rs 750 .

my father was worried . he wondered how i would survive in the city with so little money . he said he would help me .

image : pavan malhotra play bhagat puran singh in the punjabi film , eh janam tumhare lekhe .

he said we would get food on the sets and as far as staying was concerned , i could share an apartment with him and his friend devlin bose ( the film ' s assistant cameraman ) .

( director ) david dhawan , ( actor ) rakesh bedi , ( theatre director ) raman kumar and ( actor ) sunil sharma stayed on the ground floor of the building , ( actor ) ravi baswani , ( actor ) alok nath and ( tamil film director ) k s ravi were on the first floor and the three of us were on the second floor .

in jaane bhi do yaaron , i did the props . sometimes , when kundan ( shah , director ) insisted , i did costumes with sujata desai . i also worked as an assistant . i enjoyed all of it .

if there was a film on the making of jaane bhi do yaaron , it would have been a bigger hit because there were so many incidents on the sets .

bhakti barve gave a tough time ; her voice had to be dubbed with anita kanwar .

naseer ( naseeruddin shah ) would always argue with the director , especially during the telephone scene because he could not make sense of it .

he bought a camera - - which was also used in the film - - and would click our pictures , print it and give it to us .

after jaane bhi do yaaron , i worked in the production for saeed mirza ' s mohan joshi haazir ho and vidhu vinod chopra ' s khamosh .

even though i was an actor , i did production work because i had to survive . plus , this group was very intellectual ( laughs ) .

in khamosh , everybody had two jobs . i was the actor as well as the production manager . i did props and costumes .

only shabana azmi , avtar gill and pankaj kapur only acted - - shabana contributed by sharing her room with another actress .

after that , i assisted on the television serial , yeh jo hain zindagi . the money was so little it was a struggle to survive . but i never asked my father for money .

i have done odd jobs in between my acting work like selling leftover bread from the bread factory or feed cows in a cowshed .

image : dilip dhawan , sangeeta nair and pavan malhotra in nukkad , the much loved television serial of the 1980s . it gave pavan the break he needed .

it was such a small role that in the first two episodes of the total 13 , my character hari did not have anything to do . he would just stand there . but it clicked with the audience .

the love triangle between madhu ( mamta ) , radha ( sangeeta naik ) and hari worked very well .

i remember after the 13 episodes , when we were attending a function , the girls went crazy ! of course , everybody was popular , but dilip dhawan ( who played guru ) , sameer khakkar ( who played khopdi ) and i were mobbed the most .

there , the makers realised that hari was very popular and increased my role .

during this time , i had gone to visit my father in delhi and all the people gathered near his factory to see me .

they were yelling ' hari hari ' and started entering the factory . we had to stop them as the machinery would get spoilt .

he passed away after that , but i was so happy he got to see my fame a little bit .

) at night just to meet the locals and speak to them . one day , i asked if i could join him .

we went to a gambling den , where they showed us how it was played . people knew him because he had done nukkad .

then i was told they were looking to cast someone younger for that role , not naseer . if you see , the biggest strength of nukkad was its casting . the beggar looked like a beggar , the sweeper looked like a sweeper . . .

i came out and told makarand , who was sitting outside , that i would take him on a ride around dongri and chor bazaar ( also in south mumbai ) , observing people and their mannerisms .

i picked up the walk , playing with the crotch , and other things .

people ask me why i do a policeman or an underworld character again and again . but i think even in the underworld , there are different characters .

the only common thing , when you play ( characters from ) the underworld , is the aggression in the body language .

but in farhan akhtar ' s don , i didn ' t keep any aggression .

image : pavan malhotra would be in pain every time the paint was applied on his body for his role in bagh bahadur .

every day before the shoot , i had to get enamel paint on my body . it would take three - and - a - half hours from the face to the legs . then i had to sit in the sun and dry myself .

because i had to use paint on my body , i had to remove the hair from my body . usually , you have to apply hair removing cream for 10 minutes and then it comes out . i kept it on for 20 minutes and then took a shower . but the hair was still on my body .

so i read the instructions again . it was written that you have to wipe it after 10 minutes of application . so i applied it once again and wiped after 10 minutes . the hair came out , but my skin got burnt .

when the boys would rub my body with kerosene to remove the paint , i would be in pain . and i had to do it for 17 days !

hatever work i have done till date has been offered to me . whenever i have asked for work , i have never got it .

i learnt that yash chopra was making mashaal , which was on four young actors . i went to raj kamal studio where he was , with one photograph of mine that naseer had clicked .

i gave yash ji that . he spoke to me for 10 minutes and said that he had a role for me . he asked me to come back after 10 days . when i went the next time , he offered me tea , took me on the sets and asked me to come the next day .

the next day , i saw more than 100 boys standing outside the gate for the role . yash ji ' s chief assistant was there . i told him that yash ji had called me for the role , but he yelled at me so badly that i started walking out quickly . i was humiliated .

later , i worked in yash ji ' s badmaash company . he would look at me and smile , but i don ' t think he remembered .

i did work with him later in pardes , but realised that i did not miss anything .

i remember once shah rukh khan had said that when you walk into a producer ' s office , one should feel that a hero has come . i couldn ' t do that .

even om puri won national awards , but he didn ' t get any work either . i think in the real sense if anybody has worked in hollywood , it is is om puri .

now deepika padukone and priyanka chopra are doing it and to some extent , irrfan did . some of the films that irrfan did made a lot of noise , but his role was very small .

not many people know that i played the lead in a foreign film , brothers in trouble about illegal immigrants . it never released in asia .

i also did city of joy , but my role was cut . i am there just for a few scenes .

i noticed one thing : kundan shah , saeed mirza and vinod chopra did not offer me roles after that film even though i was part of their group .

i read the script and asked anurag if he was sure he wanted to use real names . he said there would no problem . but there was a problem and the film did not release for two years .

when it finally released , a friend of the producer told me that they ( the underworld ) were happy with it . i asked , " really ? they are not going to bump me off ? "

anurag gave me the script and asked me to read the book as well because it was very close to the script .

there is a scene where i am speaking to badshah khan in a hotel room . that is the only place in the entire film where i have leaned towards him . i think one should not overdo it .

the only thing i didn ' t do was go to mahim or dongri to talk to people and do my research . i didn ' t want to rub it in their face .

' if you work here , you have to be either lovable or sellable . nobody talks about talent . '

image : pavan malhotra gets ruthless in a rape scene with raima sen in children of war . he won the best actor award in france .

commercial filmmakers consider us as art film wallah s , and so think we work for less money .

i know a competent actor who was charging rs 10 lakh ( rs 1 million ) for a particular film . another actor was ready to do it for half at amount because he was in need of money . and the makers replaced that competent actor just to save money .

a producer once told me that one doesn ' t get paid for his acting skills . if you work here , you have to be either lovable or sellable . nobody talks about talent .

i was not paid for shaitaan because it went into losses . here , people can pay huge stars in crores , but they will cry to pay actors like me in lakhs .

they will say , " budget nahin hai . is baar kum lelo , next time we will see . "

i have done punjabi films , which have been hits and given me awards .

i have done 4 , 5 south indian movies . my first telugu film , aithe , was the most interesting and i got filmfare and state awards .

the last film i did was andru , another hit . someone else did the dubbing for me . but when i saw the film , i wondered why i was doing such films .

i didn ' t know the language and was not happy with the director . he would explain the scene and ask me to cry . i would tell him that the particular emotion was not required in that scene . but he would insist because he felt the audience would like it .

nowadays i don ' t do south indian movies . i thought if i am doing it just for the money , why not do television serials ?

the last tv serial i did was karishma , starring karisma kapoor . when they were narrating the story , they promised it would be done well , but it didn ' t turn out that way .

these days , sometimes they finish the shoot of an episode the previous night of its telecast . one of the reasons is because they fear someone will copy their ideas .

earlier , stories were not based in villages , but when balika vadu became a hit , everyone went for similar ideas .

no one will make a serial likem nukkad today because the audience doesn ' t want to see it .

in my days , i would watch half a film on saturday and the other half on sunday because doordarshan gave us only that much . everyone would run home to watch chitrahaar .

today , you have a remote control and 350 channels to choose from . the audience decides what to watch .

everything works on trps and advertisers now . they are clear that they are not here to reform society .

their product has to be noticed by the viewers no matter what you show them .

people complain that there some movies with double meaning dialogues . well , don ' t watch it .

there are people who want to watch that and that ' s why such movies are made .

sometimes , in foreign movies , you feel that the character has actually made love because of the way they shot it .

my first scene in children of war was a rape scene , but there , we wanted to show the ruthlessness . you should not show negativity in a way that you glorify it .

image : both shah rukh khan and pavan malhotra , seen here in pardes , hail from rajendra nagar in delhi .

met amrish puri for the first time while shooting for a children ' s film .

during lunch , he told me , " you have the capacity to be in this field for a long time , so you keep trying . one day , your work will be noticed . "

i have done two films with shah rukh khan - - don and pardes - - but i know him since circus .

plus , we come from the same area in delhi : new rajendra nagar .

he talks to me nicely whenever we meet ; we talk about our delhi days . but i can ' t say he is my close friend .

i worked with akshay kumar in rustom . he is very disciplined and focused .

he comes on the sets on time - - reports at 9 am and leaves at 6 pm . not once do we have to wait for him .

he has his own style of working . he does 4 , 5 films a year and there is so much variety - - he does holiday , rowdy rathore , houseful , airlift and rustom . . . so much range !

among the new generation of actors , i like ranbir kapoor . his last few movies have not done well , but we cannot blame him .

he chose good films with good directors , but they did not do well . he has potential .

i like priyanka chopra and deepika padukone . alia bhatt is very natural . she was so good in kapoor & sons .

the series directed by stefano sollima ( “gomorrah” ) is being produced by cattleya with rai cinema with which cattleya has also produced a “suburra” feature film ( pictured ) which will kick off the saga . the “suburra” movie is slated for release via rai cinema’s 01 distribution in italian theatres on oct . 14 . netflix will debut the movie in the u . s . and latin america day and date .

while watching the movie suburra , my first thought was that it bore a striking resemblance to a couple of other recent italian films .

" being on netflix means a lot to me , "  said film director sollima .  " not only will my film be part of a selection of high - quality feature films and groundbreaking tv series of which i am a huge fan , but it will also have the opportunity to reach a wide international public . "

placido is at the venice film festival to promote netflix ’s first italian original , “ suburra , the series . ” the show is a crime thriller set primarily in rome that mixes in elements of the catholic church , the government and organized crime . the action will take place in new york , london and italy .

“suburra” is being touted as “a captivating story that involves politics , the vatican , the mafia , corruption , money laundering , drugs and prostitution . ”

italian pubcaster rai did come on board “suburra , ” however , and picked up second window rights to the show , which is produced by cattleya .

, perhaps too much for just two hours of film . the tv series that will be based on it and has already been announced ( comprising 10 episodes produced by netflix , currently in development ) will make much better use of so much material . the film by sollima , who is a well - established director these days since his successful tv series based on

" suburra is a captivating story that involves politics , the vatican , the mafia , corruption , money laundering , drugs and prostitution , " netflix said .

suburra is a big picture that never loses track of the small details , and these bring the characters , and the realistic action sequences , to life .

suburra , a 10 - episode organized crime series set on the roman coast , will be netflix ' s first italian original series , the company said on monday .

cattleya is in development on the series with production planned to start in the second half of 2016 . rai will air suburra after the debut on netflix in italy .

co - produced by italy and france ( cattleya , rai cinema , la chauve souris ) on a budget of €7 million , suburra will be released in cinemas on 14 october ( by 01 distribution in 500 copies ) and will be simultaneously released on netflix in the united states and south america . the film , which has already been sold in 14 countries around the world ( international sales by indie sales ) , will open the screenings at the mia , the international audiovisual market , which will be held from 16 to 20 october during the rome film fest .

actor - writer - director michele placido is exploring the true story of a corrupt cardinal for a series he’s developing called “bad bankers . ” placido is at the venice film festival to promote netflix’s first italian original , “suburra , the series . ” the show is a crime thriller set primarily in rome that mixes in elements of the catholic church , the [ … ]

rome – netflix has inked a deal to produce its first original italian series , the 10 - episode “suburra , ” about ties between mob and politics in contempo rome .

" suburra is an enthralling story that will appeal to netflix members in italy and worldwide ,  " said erik barmack , vp at netflix . " we are thrilled to partner with rai and cattleya and to be working with some of the best storytellers in italy to deliver not only their film , but also a series that will be among the best of television .  "

the saga that involves politics , the vatican , the mafia , corruption , money laundering , drugs and prostitution , will begin with a feature film directed by stefano sollima ( a . c . a . b . , gomorrah ) that’s slated for theatrical release in italy on october 14 . netflix will then debut the film the same day in the americas with italy following in may 2016 . the series will come the following year .

placido said netflix’s involvement encouraged key local partners like rai to board “suburra , ” and he added that rai’s acquisition of the series marked a milestone . “with ‘suburra , ’ rai will be paving the way for other public broadcasters in italy and encourage them to give tv creators and producers more freedom to deliver daring , thought - provoking series , ” said placido .

inszenatorisch top , mit abzügen in der b - note bzgl . dialogen und darstellern , macht suburra aber trotzdem jede menge richtig und auch durchaus spaß zu schauen . definitiv keine verschwendete zeit .

“gomorrah” casts a long shadow over this , and with the way this is so densely plotted across multiple main characters it’s hard not to feel like this was the premise for a tv season that got adapted to a feature film .

the suburra , a rough neighborhood of rome , is the scene of an ambitious real estate project . but , with the state , vatican and the mafia involved things are not what they seem .

i say unlikely because it ' s not the kind of film that is normally granted a sequel , and that was a development i certainly wasn ' t expecting . as much as i was initially delighted by the news , i ' m sure i wasn ' t the only one who also immediately put the brakes on getting too excited when it was announced that denis villeneuve wouldn ' t be directing soldado because he ' s busy making some science fiction film or something .

this film project was unique in its production . it was a combined italian - french effort , financed by rai and netflix . the distribution was also unusual , in that it simultaneously premiered in italian movie theaters and was made available for online streaming in the us and latin america on the same day . the movie version will be available on italian netflix in may 2016 , and netflix has also commissioned a 10 - part tv series based on the film to premiere globally in 2017 .

suburra means “under the city” . the centre of ancient rome was on palatine hill where the aristocracy had luxurious villas . down the hill was this ghetto called suburra full of poor people and an incredible amount of places where you can drink and have sex . the rich people would go down there to get drunk and have fun with whores . and it was also the place where they met to do dirty business .

the first italian production from netflix , led by ceo reed hastings , will be created by cattleya , the film and tv producer behind such tv hits as sky italia ' s gomorrah series , and romanzo criminale , in collaboration with italian public service broadcaster rai .

then , fairly quickly , we realize that this film might have more in common with the ugliness of camorra than the glam of the great beauty . throw in a corrupt cardinal hiding out in the vatican , and now it also recalls the godfather part iii .

cattleya has begun development of the series , with production planned to start in the second half of 2016 . suburra will premiere on netflix everywhere netflix is available . rai will air the series after the debut on netflix in italy .

production of the series is planned to start in the second half of 2016 with plans to premiere globally on netflix in 2017 . rai will air the “suburra” show on one of its generalist channels in italy after it goes out on netflix .

i had to look it up to refresh my memory , but this unusual act by the pope actually occurred in february of 2013 , about 14 months after berlusconi’s resignation . so while i can’t speak to their alleged connection , i can say that the two events were not contemporaneous , as suggested in the film .

the first italo production from netflix is being produced by cattleya , the prominent italo shingle behind internationally exported tv hits , including sky italia’s “gomorrah” and “romanzo criminale” ( “crime novel” ) skeins . interestingly , cattleya is producing “suburra” in collaboration with italian public service broadcaster rai .

" rai is proud to partner with netflix , the internet tv leader , for the production of the suburra tv series , " said rai director general antonio campo dall ' orto .  " this collaboration demonstrates our new strategic direction to innovate and compete in italy and abroad . television is transforming . we need to stay on the forefront and redefine our role . the suburra series testifies to the strength of the growing italian production industry , from cinema to fiction , and its ability to be a player at the highest international level . "

i don’t think that’s the most interesting part . i love the idea of making a cool , entertaining and gritty film in modern rome – of portraying the city in a different and darker way . so i think this was my first idea : to make a thriller but set it up in a real world with real baddies .

suburra is planned as a 10 - episode drama made in partnership with italy’s rai . while netflix has embarked on originals in france ( marseille ) , and elsewhere , this is the first time it’s moving into the space in italy . a worldwide debut is set for 2017 .

suburra , a rain - soaked hyper - stylised introduction to italian filmmaker stefano sollima , is resplendently neo - noir - a crime thriller that may initially begin a meretricious homage set to the backdrop of select songs by french electronic act m83 but ends having embedded itself into the flesh under your skin ; there it stays .

suburra trifft den ton eines fast schon intimen gangsterdramas auf den punkt , muss sich aber dann doch leider mit abzügen vor allem im dialog und den darstellern abfinden . manche dialoge wurden ihren teilweise steif agierenden darstellern doch sehr hölzern rübergebracht , so dass man teilweise aus dieser eigentlich faszinierenden welt wieder etwas rausgezogen wird . auch die laufzeit hätte gerne einen ticken kürzer sein können .

placido said he was hoping to work with netflix again in the future following “ suburra , ” for which he directed the first two episodes . “netflix is a game - changer in italy . they gave me a tremendous freedom to cast actors who are not big names – some were even unknown – as long as they fit the roles , ” said placido .

rome – netflix has inked a deal to produce its first original italian series , the 10 - episode “suburra , ” about ties between mob and politics in contempo rome . the first italo production from netflix is being produced by cattleya , the prominent italo shingle behind internationally exported tv hits , including sky italia’s “gomorrah” and “romanzo criminale” ( “crime novel” ) skeins . [ … ]

giancarlo de cataldo and carlo bonini , authors of the “suburra” expose which delved into the so - called “mafia capital” scandal that broke in 2014 boasted that the book , on which the series is based , is “a journey into the black heart of rome , uncovering and bringing to light many of the current scandals , well in advance of their making headlines in the international press . ”

if think your italian is pretty good , but want to sharpen your romanaccio , you only need to take lessons from the character manfredi ( played by adamo dionisi ) and his family of “ burini ” ( “ cafoni ” in italian ; or boorish / uncouth in english ) . this guy is the thug of the film , but he is also identified as the “gypsy , ” which i suppose implies that his brood is from eastern europe and not italy .

the name of the movie , suburra , refers to a neighborhood on the outskirts of ancient rome , which is the origin of our word “suburb . ” it is an evolution of the latin “sub - urba , ” as the language was moving towards the volgare . clusters of consonants like rb turned into rr ( or mn into mm , etc . ) , in a process known as “assimilazione e raddoppiamento . ” anyway…

stefano sollima’s brash and brutal movie is a melodrama of political corruption and gangster turf wars in rome – set satirically at the fraught moment of spiritual crisis when pope benedict xvi decided to abdicate . it’s a film that could conceivably have worked as well , or better , as a boxset binge on tv – indeed , sollima also directed the acclaimed mafia series gomorrah – but lays down the law confidently enough on the big screen : there’s a supermarket shootout and a getaway scene ( following a slaying in a spa ) that are handled with terrific élan .

not at all . from my point of view it’s a little bit a cliché . i think suburra is much more realistic in its portrayal of the mafia . a mafioso is not just a man who goes around speaking sicilian . it’s a business model where you don’t respect the law as part of the business model . in italy we call it the mafia but you have the same in an incredible amount of countries . they just call it something different .

stylistically , the film ' s influences are plain to see : martin scorsese , brian de palma , michael mann , to name but a few . like his peers , sollima displays a knack for refining material and balancing plotlines that would seem overbearing in lesser hands . there ' s almost a televisual feel pertained by the interweaving character encounters with scriptwriters stefano rulli and sandro petraglia ( adapting carlo bonini and giancarlo de cataldo ' s novel ) moving them around like chess pieces . in this way , there ' s even a scent of coen in the air .

qui c ' è qualcuno che tutte le sere va a dormire col blu - ray di heat sotto al cuscino . poi magari non è sollima e mi sembra che sia sollima perché sono io , but still . comunque , certo , il centro commerciale , per quanto bello , non vale figueroa , manca un po ' di forza emotiva nei personaggi e magari se si levavano un po ' di musica a mille , qualche metaforone e un paio dei centododici confronti a due al bar andava meglio , ma insomma , oh , avercene , in italia , film di genere del genere .

è simbolico e necessario che l ' unico cinema italiano bello di oggi parli di quanto sia brutta l ' italia di oggi . suburra parte dalla nostra inossidabile tradizione di cinema civile e vi innesta una cura estetizzante , lo esaspera in toni pop , chiaroscuri forti e zone d ' ombra come focus estetico e narrativo , trasferendo sullo scenario cinematografico , con immutata forza ed il giusto equilibrio , quelle dinamiche della serialità televisiva su cui nuove eccellenti maestranze tecniche ed artistiche stanno costruendo una possibile e auspicabile nuova identità cinematografica italiana .

the suburra quarter in ancient rome was the quarter populated by taverns and brothels , where noble senators met with criminals in secret to do business and make money . two thousand years later , not much seems to have changed in the italian capital , politics and criminality continue to do business and the real world is governed by laws drawn up by corrupt politicians , through brokers without scruples in the shadow of an ambivalent vatican . these were the findings of a recent judicial inquiry by the name of mafia capitale , which has now been brought to the big screen by

malavita , politica , vaticano . potere e corruzione . violenza , tanta violenza , unica soluzione ai problemi . riferimenti ( più o meno velati ) ad alcuni fatti realmente accaduti . come raccontare in italia tutto questo ? con un film di denuncia oppure attraverso una pallosissima fiction in sette puntate ? sbagliato . niente di meglio che farlo tramite il caro vecchio cinema di genere . quel cinema di genere di cui , insieme a qualche altro titolo , potrebbe rappresentare ( speriamo ) , la rinascita di cui parlavo anche in occasione di lo chiamavano jeeg robot . sollima realizza un noir moderno , un mondo torbido portato in scena con un taglio cool ; qualcuno direbbe sullo stile di gomorra ( la serie ) , io direi sullo stile di sollima visto che quella era in gran parte roba sua . …

pierfrancesco pavino plays filippo “pippo” malgradi , a crooked mp trying to get rome’s ostia waterfront turned into a vegas - style gamblers’ playground : pippo gets his gangster contacts to order a hit on a young hoodlum who had been trying to blackmail him over an underage prostitute who died in his hotel room . the resulting murder is a gruesome mess that involves a hatchet - faced mafioso called samurai ( claudio amendola ) who is brokering the southern clans’ money in the vegas project , and whose own contacts go all the way up to the vatican . this is straight - ahead mob action , a vision of crows pecking each other to death when they’re not feasting on the corpse of “bunga bunga” italy . it’s carried off with a great deal of flair .

rome , 2011 . mafiosi , churchmen and politicians thrash out covert plans to transform the city’s waterfront into a glittering vegas - like strip , but the accidental death of a prostitute sees it all spinning out of control .

the city that gave us la dolce vita provides an altogether more violent backdrop in stefano sollima’s edgy , often chilling follow - up to his tv spin - off of gomorrah . named after ancient rome ' s criminal underground and set over seven days leading up to an unexplained “apocalypse” in 2011 , it charts the corruption that’s eaten through italian society like rust in a flurry of explosive moments amid an endless , oppressive downpour . by comparison , se7en ’s incessant rain seems more like an april sprinkle .

stefano sollina elevates his crime thriller into a gripping parable embroidered with mystical touches .

the plot ' s catalyst is a politician with a thing for underage hookers ( rush ’s pierfrancesco favino ) . this deeply compromised man offers a suitably seedy conduit into rome’s corridors of powers , where lawmakers conspire with criminals to redevelop the city’s unspoilt seafront . the deal that stands to make them all millions soon threatens them all with disgrace – or worse – when a girl is killed .

a visual and kinetic filmmaker , sollima combines michael mann - like set pieces – a supermarket gun battle to make dale winton weep is one of the best of the year – with more of gomorrah ’s scathing social commentary to lacerate the italian political and criminal classes . unlike many mafia thrillers , these men are not held up as figures worthy of respect . when the merda hits the fan , they scurry like bugs under a freshly - lifted rock .

in other hands it could all still have been fodder for a middling crime thriller – 2013’s broken city tackled similar themes with a fraction of the verve – but sollina elevates it into a gripping parable embroidered with mystical touches ( its capo dei capi is a feared gangster called samurai ) and splashes of lurid violence . throw in a glacially cool m83 score and you have a mafia thriller of which even scorsese would be proud . the netflix ten - parter later this year should be well worth marking your diary for .

a stylish crime thriller that dissects italian society with a cool eye and an itchy trigger finger .

the character resting at the heart of this sprawling ensemble is amoral mp filippo malgradi ( pierfrancesco favino ) whose night of debauchery kickstarts a series of events that ricochet through rome involving abduction , blackmail and vicious canines that would make game of thrones villain ramsay bolton feel ashamed .

montage sequences showing concurrent events build to crescendos which force you to instinctively predict what ' s coming next . shunning this expectation , sollima instead throws in a gunshot here , a car accident there - as with life - when you least expect it ; this tactic will temporarily turn your seat into a sit - down travelator .

with the expectations of your audience is a brave ploy but one that pays off . having now steered both a tv series ( acclaimed italian mob drama gomorrah ) and a two - hour - plus crime epic , sollima ensures he fast tracks standalone sicario sequel soldado to the top of your most - anticipated list .

movies and tv shows are certified fresh with a steady tomatometer of 75 % or higher after a set amount of reviews ( 80 for wide - release movies , 40 for limited - release movies , 20 for tv shows ) , including 5 reviews from top critics .

ah , bella italia ! where men are men , politicians are corrupt , mafiosi are everywhere and women are either hookers or molls .

sollima interweaves gangsters , pimps , junkies and scary dogs with pungent echoes of venal ancient rome .

an effective thriller structured from a soft ensemble story . [ full review in spanish ]

an ensemble thriller of epic dimensions reminiscent of greek tragedy . [ full review in spanish ]

a sprawl of beautifully cast characters - - a weasly pimp ( germano ) here , a junkie moll ( scarano ) there - - and their many intersections are deftly juggled , thanks to patrizio morane ' s darting cuts .

if you ' re a thriller fan don ' t let the subtitles put you off this roman gem .

a movie - length prequel to netflix ' s upcoming rome - set gangster series .

all about corrupt politicians & the mafia . also something about the pope which i didn ' t get .

it ' s all jolly plush , with enough sex & violence to get an 18 certificate .

i left the screening a bit confused , but feel i have to give it the benefit of the doubt ( 3 stars ) , as i feel i may not have paid enough attention .

, at a time when rome has just seen the resignation of its mayor , and is being plagued by ungovernability and the chaos of the upcoming jubilee .

the portrait of a humanity driven by money and extreme ambition , in which the law of the strongest prevails and there are no positive heroes , spares no one , between the halls of parliament , rooms of the vatican , luxury hotels , flashy villas , run - down suburbs , fierce executions , drugs , parties , and protests . there’s a lot going on in

directed by michele placido ten years ago , and which is proving to be highly exportable .

, the director has started filming with alessandro borghi on the legend of the founding of rome . belgium are co - producing

ildikó enyedi , michel franco , rebecca hall , anna mouglalis , jasmine trinca , edgar wright and yonfan will flank annette bening on the main jury . the orizzonti jury will be chaired by gianni amelio

five minutes in , we feel like going to see stefano sollima’s version of la grande bellezza ; a loud party at a lush villa where the rich and famous are drinking and dancing and kissing in a neon - light fantasy . another glimpse at the “one - percent” of roman society .

but no , it’s entirely its own movie , and a damn good one .

this zone was a swampy area between the viminal and esquiline hills . today this neighborhood could hardly be more central , located near the cavour metro stop , so it’s difficult to imagine it as the “the suburbs” back then .

this is where the politicians and the wealthy class would go “slumming” through the murky streets to access their unspoken vices , and consort with criminal elements to do their dirty work . the shadowy world of thieves and prostitutes and assassins for hire .

fast forward to 2011 and not much has changed in the eternal city according to sollima , except that the burbs now extend further out , all the way to the beach town of ostia .

the plot is very loosely framed around actual events that occurred during early november of ’11 , when berlusconi stepped down from his position as prime minister of italy under enormous public pressure from both within the country , and from the european union . so there is s ome factual basis for the story , although it is mostly fiction . probably . maybe . well , you decide .

there is also this allusion to the apocalypse , and a torrential rainstorm that lasts throughout the movie—seven days and seven nights , to be precise . to bolster this claim , the filmmakers also try to add the abdication of pope benedict as a further omen that announces the end - of - days scenario .

it’s wrong to think that italy is in a severe financial crisis . consumer spending hasn’t decreased at all .

this is a quote from one of the main characters , senator filippo malgradi , played by pierfrancesco favino . but it also smacks of a real soundbite from berlusconi around this time who infamously said , “what crisis ? i look around rome and all the restaurants are full ! ”

malgradi is an upper - level politician who moves seamlessly between the two lives he leads : the life he presents to the world as a family man and respected politician ; and his other persona , which enjoys smoking crack cocaine while in the company of naked women who are young enough to be his daughters .

there’s one scene where he’s standing butt - naked on a third - floor balcony above piazza del popolo in the middle of this biblical deluge , pissing down on the street below . what to make of that , i wonder ?

i thought either the director was saying , “look ! these politicians , at their core , are just as brutti as the street criminals . ” or else he was animating the metaphor of , “politicians are always pissing on us while trying to convince us that it’s raining . ”

malgradi is also well - acquainted with some unsavory elements in the mafia , including a character known as the “the samurai , ” played by claudio amendola . no big surprise here , as this also mirrors real - world accusations of high - ranking members of italian parliament being deeply intertwined with the malavita . inevitably , the two worlds collide , launching the story into a descending spiral of chaos where every little turn leads to a greater tragedy . each character is caught up in his or her own self - made tempest with no positive outcomes in sight .

the plot is intricate and complex , but not difficult to follow . the director did a great job of keeping the overlapping storylines clear and tight inside the 2 hour running time . ( it’s technically 2 hours and 15 minutes , but there are at least 15 minutes of credits at the end , just so you know . )

i wonder if that was a conscious choice by the writer / director because conversely , the italian gangster , “the samurai , ” is portrayed as having excellent manners and better taste in clothes . hmm…

does everybody get their just desserts in the end ? well , you’ll have to watch and decide for yourself . or you can wait until the tv series premieres and invite these characters into your suburban home on a weekly basis . you’ll never think of life in the suburbs the same way again .

living in the caput mundi and trying to decipher italian culture for the english speaking world .

i’m reading the book right now . impressive the analogies with the enquiries on corruption in rome… the book “romanzo criminale” by the same author had the same story : book , movie , tv series . but i’m sure that this new one on netflix will achieve much more .

hi paola , and thanks for you comments . yes , i’m looking forward to the netflix series , too . but i’m always glad when italian films / books find an international audience . with all of the creative talent in italy , it’s a shame that it doesn’t happen more often .

it’s great to see foreign films getting the exposure they deserve through netflix . i enjoyed it thoroughly , well - acted , well - casted , a modern - day “godfather” . i’m impressed and looking forward to the series . outstanding musical score .

thanks michael , and i agree with you on all points . i’m looking forward to seeing the series , too .

since having our little one , my husband and i have only been to the cinema once ( we used to go all the time ) but you’ve convinced me that i should get the nonni to babysit one evening soon so we can go and see this . hmmm , the ugliness of gomorrah meets glam of the great beauty , sounds gripping…

it’s good . not easy to watch–i felt myself cringing the whole time because it all seems so plausible . let me know what you think once you’ve seen it !

the movie , based on the book by giancarlo de cataldo and carlo bonini , tells the story of a grueling battle over a seaside town outside of rome which is to be developed into a gambling paradise . the story involves a corrupt member of parliament , filippo malgradi ( pierfrancesco favino ) ; number 8 ( alessandro borghi ) , the head of a powerful family that runs the territory ; and sebastiano ( elio germano ) , a young event organizer . it also involves corrupt religious leaders and rival mafiosi , including the samurai ( claudio amendola ) who represents the most feared faction of roman organized crime . the plot reveals an endemic system of corruption and rampant illegality on an international scale .

the second ways is if you are italian . i don ' t know if you heard about it , but not even a week ago the mayor of rome , ignazio marino resigned before the end of his mandate . during his government a lot of things happened : all the filth and the depravity which infected rome for years surfaced . an actual shadow governing body , which took the city by dint of threats and corruption . the main puppeteer was massimo carminati , founding member of the criminal organization called banda della magliana , and , after the dismissal of it , master artifex of…

stefano sollima ' s name has been thrust into the spotlight over the last few months after it was announced that he would be helming the unlikely sequel to sicario .

stefano sollima ' s hugely ambitious crime thriller surveys the great institutions of italy - the catholic church , the government , big business - and connects them through italy ' s most infamous enterprise , organised crime . two mob families have put their usual conflicts on the back burner in anticipation of a favoured crooked politician gifting their district with a new casino . the scheme collapses due to a mix of sheer bad luck , simmering resentments and global politics , the latter represented by an ominous countdown to the seismic event not even the politicians seem to know is coming - the resignation of silvio berlusconi .

stefano sollima versteht es wie auch schon bei " gomorrha " vor allem die kleinen dinge einer handlung gekonnt umzusetzen . so weiß dieses kleine drama im mafiamillieu insbesondere durch seine menschlichkeit , die nähe zu den figuren und das äußerst authentische drumherum zu begeistern , ohne dabei jemals in kitsch oder übertriebene gewalt abzudriften .

stefan sollima ' s multi - layered journey through the crime industry of modern rome has the kind of production standards we ' d normally see from a high - end hollywood offering , and was clearly the calling card that landed sollima the sicario sequel , but despite its gripping though none - too - original narrative , it all has a slightly odd sheen .

solid crime drama . did drag in some parts , and felt like there was a little too much going on in it ' s story , but overall i enjoyed it ! can ' t wait to see what this director does with sicario 2 .

an intense and sprawling mafioso epic . too sprawling . . . but damn it looks good .

toller mafiafilm aus italien . hat mich total gefesselt dazu noch der soundtrack von m83 ( das album hatte ich schon ) das war natürlich ein flash für sich mit diesen bildern und der stimmung . dann waren die darsteller echt gut gewählt , bekannt war mir jetzt keiner aber die hatten ihre rollen perfekt gespielt .

a collection of my favorite foreign films , including lots of underrated / unknown titles worth checking out . updated monthly . the list is…

it’s brilliantly done – slick , sexy , dark – but that’s not the only reason . it was also the talk of the town because the plot is painfully close to the bone .

all the action takes place in a single week in rain - soaked rome . pierfrancesco favino plays filippo “pippo” malgradi , a crooked mp who wants to turn rome’s ostia waterfront into an italian las vegas . after accidentally killing an underage prostitute , he finds himself being blackmailed and asks a gangster pal to bump off the blackmailer , inadvertently sparking brutal turf wars .

netflix is already making a spin - off series , while director stefano sollima has been lined up to direct the sequel to the 2015 hit sicario . we asked him whether italian politicians really do work hand in glove with gangsters , and whether he’s ever met a mafioso…

they were absolutely upset by it of course . what it’s about is a really delicate problem for us so we had an incredible amount of discussion on the topics of the movie .

close . the day before our theatrical release in italy , the major of rome dismissed himself because of a huge scandal called “mafia capitale” involving money and the underworld . it’s almost the same as we portrayed in the movie .

i was born and raised in rome . i think this was one of the most interesting parts for me : to portray the darkest side of the eternal city . rome is much more complex than its image , than the touristy side .

your acclaimed tv series gomorrah was about organised crime in naples . how influenced are you by the godfather ?

probably it’s number eight because he’s the only one who’s moved by deep feeling : by the dream he has to change his city and the love he has for his fiancé . i never judge my characters . i love them all . what i try to do in the movie is make the character like he is in reality . in reality , you never have just black and white . you have an incredible amount of grey .

no , just because of schedule issues . it’ll be the first original netflix production in italian . i think they will keep just two of the same characters but i’m not sure because i’m not involved at all .

yes , although i haven’t signed yet . the idea of the producer is to make three standalone movies in the same world with two of the same characters : benicio del toro and josh brolin as alejandro and matt . so it will not be a direct sequel of sicario . i think it’s cool and original .

actor - writer - director michele placido is exploring the true story of a corrupt cardinal for a series he’s developing called “bad bankers . ”

placido said “bad bankers” will revolve around monsignor marcinkus , an american archbishop who presided over the vatican bank from 1971 to 1989 . marcinkus was embroiled in the notorious bank crash of banco ambrosiano , which led to the 1982 suicide of its chairman , roberto calvi .

“what marcinkus did caused serious problems in italy – he was laundering mafia money and invested it in drugs and guns – but he was never prosecuted because he was a citizen of the vatican , ” said placido , adding that marcinkus was also close to u . s . president richard m . nixon . marcinkus previously served as inspiration for the character of archbishop gilday in francis ford coppola’s “the godfather , part iii . ”

“it was the first time in my career that i was given carte blanche . there is so much self - censorship going in the tv production because of the weight of catholicism . we can’t tell stories so freely when we work with a public broadcaster , ” said placido .

the actor - director said he was first approached by netflix because “they liked ‘vallanzasca , ' ” which he directed in 2011 .
