My Oxford Year review: An imperfect yet effective slow-burn anchored by Sofia, Corey
Adapted from Julia Whelan's bestselling novel of the same name, 'My Oxford Year' is a quiet, reflective romance that nudges you to question what really makes love meaningful, is it longevity, or is it intensity lived at the moment?For Bollywood viewers who've grown up romanticising films like 'Kal Ho Naa Ho', there's something strikingly familiar here. It's not the melodrama or the grand declarations, but the emotional core, an aching, tender love story wrapped in self-discovery, illness, timing, and Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest, 'My Oxford Year' follows the story of Anna, a bright and ambitious American scholar, who lands at Oxford with her future already planned. However, despite her plans, what she doesn't expect is to fall for Jamie, a charming professor, and a British man. This unexpected romance trickles down to the exploration of different meanings to love and relationship. At its core, this is a story about love, loss, and living with intention. Carson and Mylchreest are both deeply watchable. Their simmering chemistry doesn't demand attention, it earns it. Theirs is a love language of poetry, long walks, unspoken glances, and one particularly poignant moment where a simple 'thank you' is met with 'I love you too.' It's heartbreakingly beautiful. The film leans into the old-school, slow-burn charm of nerdy romance. There's palpable romantic tension, which is backed by thoughtful writing that never overplays its hand. Sofia and Corey bring a quiet depth to their roles, never making their characters feel like genre said, not everything works seamlessly for the film. The subplot involving Jamie's family dynamics feels undercooked, which, if explored, would have provided a better emotional arc to the story. Some scenes glide past moments that deserve more narrative where 'My Oxford Year' truly succeeds is in its emotional takeaway. Much like Aman from 'Kal Ho Naa Ho', Jamie's arc isn't just about romance, it's about choice, and finding beauty in impermanence. The film gently nudges you to live - deliberately, honestly, and with a full heart. Remember what Aman said? 'Jiyo, Khush raho, Muskurao. Kya Pata Kal Ho Naa Ho (Live, Be Happy, Smile, you don't know about tomorrow!)''My Oxford Year' is a romantic drama that rewards patience. It may not be perfect, but it leaves you thinking, feeling, and wondering about the kind of love that doesn't need to be loud to be unforgettable. For anyone who still believes in letters over texts and love over logic, this one might just be for you.'My Oxford Year' is now available on Netflix.- Ends3.5 out of 5 stars to My Oxford May Also Like

Will there be a Happy Gilmore 3? Here's what director Kyle Newacheck said
The release of Happy Gilmore 2 is one that has been thirty years in the waiting. Following its premiere on Netflix last week, fans have already started wondering whether they can get their hopes up in favor of receiving a third part of the beloved franchise anytime soon. Fans are buzzing about a possible Happy Gilmore 3 after the success of Happy Gilmore 2 on Netflix.(Netflix/X) The first film, originally released in 1996, follows the story of a hockey player who discovers his hidden talent for golf and uses that to his advantage to help raise money for his financially-strained grandmother. Following in the same spirit, the sequel tells the tale of him trying to raise money for his daughter's ballet school. Will there be a Happy Gilmore 3? As of now, there is no official confirmation on whether such a film is in production. When asked if producer and star Adam Sandler had any plans of making a third sequel, director Kyle Newacheck revealed to The Direct, 'I don't know. I wouldn't be too forward. I would be too forward to even think about it right now. The first one took a 29-year gestation period before they figured out what the second one is. I feel like whatever I come up with right now is going to be, not it, homie.' Since the recent installment took thirty years for getting the right script and three years of production (Sandler started working on the script in 2022), chances of a third sequel being released or starting anytime soon look incredibly slim. Such a decision would be based on the kind of audience reception the second installment receives. Is Adam Sandler interested? Sandler has not publicly spoken about working on Happy Gilmore 3, although he is interested in creating a sequel for another one of his beloved movies from the past: The Waterboy. 'That would be fun as hell. I love Mama. I love Henry Winkler. I mean, come on. He's always gonna be Coach Klein to me. But, I don't know, man, it's funny. I don't know what the ideas [would be],' he said in a 2022 interview with Variety's Award Circuit podcast. Interestingly, this is the same place where Sandler had announced plans for Happy Gilmore 2 as well. As of now, Sandler's schedule is relatively empty, with only one film (Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly) scheduled in his upcoming releases. His untitled project with the Safdie brothers hasn't received any updates since 2023. By Stuti Gupta

Is there a hope for Happy Gilmore Season 3? With the massive praise Happy Gilmore 2 is receiving from viewers, it will not be wrong to hope that Netflix renews it for another round. However, the streaming giant has not made any official announcement regarding a third part of the comedy classic. While Netflix is yet to hint at any future plans, the post-credit scene of Happy Gilmore 2 might have quietly set up the stage for something bigger to come. At the end, Franl Mantee's Maxi Golf League was left disbanded, which could imply that another story is yet to be unfolded. Once the credits finished rolling, viewers were treated to a surprise post-credit scene where a news reporter announced that Manatee's signature drink had been pulled from shelves after it was discovered to cause gingivitis. The reporter added that there is no comment from Mantee on the matter since his whereabouts are unknown, which gave the story an open ending. According to FandomWire, since there was no proper conclusion to Mantee's story, it is possible that he might return in another installment with a background of the British Open.

Nushrratt Bharuccha on sexism in Bollywood: Hero's vanity van nicer than mine
Actor Nushrratt Bharuccha recently shared her experiences of sexism and inequality in Bollywood. During a recent interview, Bharuccha recounted occasions where she had to request the use of a male co-star's vanity van because it was better and nicer than an interview with Youtuber Nayandeep Rakshit, the 40-year-old elaborated, "There have been times when I went around asking, 'Can I use the hero's vanity van for 5 minutes? He's not here anyway. Can I use the washrooms?' Because they are nicer than mine. However, I won't complain or bicker at that time. I tell myself that I will get myself to that point where I get these things by default."advertisementShe also recalled a time when she was put in economy class on an international flight while male leads enjoyed a comfortable journey in business class. Despite being invited to join friends in business class, she chose to remain in her assigned seat. She remembered being motivated by the belief that she would one day be booked into a business class on merit. This aspiration was eventually realised. The 'Chhorii 2' actor further shed light on the ongoing struggle for gender equality in Bollywood. She pointed out, "As soon as a guy delivers a hit, no matter if he is an insider or an outsider, he will get five new options immediately. But women have to keep struggling. I have been saying this since the time of 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama'.""I am not saying that she has to become an overnight sensation or anything. What does an actor want once their movie is a hit? To get a few options for potential future projects from which they can choose. That's it. They just need opportunities. We don't get as many (options) as heroes do," Bharuccha the professional front, Bharuccha recently featured in the horror film 'Chhorii 2'. Directed by Vishal Furia, the film also featured Soha Ali Khan and Gashmeer Mahajani. It is available for streaming on Netflix.- EndsMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Nushrratt Bharuccha
