The much-decorated Japanese drama “Drive My Car” was named the best film Sunday at the Asian Film Awards, defeating hot favorite “Decision to Leave.”
Other notable awards went to Japan’s Hirokazu Kore-eda whose “Broker” debuted at Cannes, but which was largely shunned in his home country.
“Decision to Leave,” which started the evening with ten nominations, was nevertheless rewarded with three awards, best screenplay, best production design and best actress for China’s Tang Wei.
While nominations were geographically diverse, the awards on Sunday skewed heavily towards North East Asia –Japan, Korea and Greater China – to the total exclusion of films from India, Indonesia and The Philippines. Snubs included the exclusion of Indonesia’s “Autobiography” and Happy Salma, both of which have been widely lauded on the festival circuit.
The awards ceremony returned to Hong Kong after detours to Macau and Busan and a Covid hiatus in previous years.

I like to think that my existence can currently be categorized into two distinct time periods: Before I saw "Rrr" and after S.S. Rajamouli's epic masterpiece completely melted my face off. "Rrr" is a Tollywood movie that has to be experienced to be understood, dazzling movie lovers across the globe with its inimitable combination of action, adventure, spectacle, humor, heart, musical numbers, political commentary, and the best damn male friendship on screen since Simon Pegg and Nick Frost in "Shaun of the Dead." Everything you've ever heard about "Rrr" is true, and even still, nothing can prepare you for the magnificent bit of Telugu movie magic.
There are countless moments of "Rrr" that you won't believe you've actually seen on screen, and the massive scope of the three-hour-plus historical fiction triumph did not come by quickly. /Film's own Ryan Scott recently interviewed some of the VFX team on the film,...

"Rrr" was a singular experience that may be difficult to top for some time. The Indian epic from director S.S. Rajamouli became a somewhat unexpected global hit, bringing Tollywood flare to North American audiences who were woefully unprepared for the cinematic insanity that was about to hit them in the face for three full hours. I was one of those unsuspecting moviegoers, and, quite frankly, nothing else I experienced in 2022 even came close to the blend of action, spectacle, heart, and musical numbers that this movie delivers. This is a movie.
One aspect that truly stands out among the madness is the very impressive visual effects, which outshine many Hollywood blockbusters that often have much larger budgets. The story at hand mythologizes two real-life freedom fighters who helped lead India's fight for independence from the British Raj.

KollywoodThough 'My Dear Kuttichathan' released in 1984, 3D has never really picked up in India because of the challenges involved.Hemanth Kumar C RAt a recent press meet held in Hyderabad, filmmaker Shankar urged everyone to watch his latest sci-fi feature film 2.0 in 3D. “The experience will be 10 times better than the 2D version,” he remarked. Truth be told, no Indian film, shot in 3D, has been in the limelight as much as 2.0, starring Rajinikanth, Akshay Kumar, and Amy Jackson, in recent years, despite several attempts by filmmakers in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi. In complete contrast to this trend or the lack of it, Hollywood has been riding high on the 3D wave post the jaw-dropping success of Avatar, and almost every other major Hollywood blockbuster has a 3D version releasing in theatres on a regular basis. 3D has become the new normal and right now, it’s on...

"Cost has never been a reason for not using visual effects in Indian cinema. We don't give the technology its due respect and resort to using shoddily presented visual effect scenes because we hesitate.
