This is a film bursting with colour and movement, with talky, dramatic sections ceding to epic dance sequences involving hundreds of impeccably turned-out performers. Sattu’s chances with her soon rise, however, when he gallantly saves her life and is promised her hand in marriage by her sinister father, for reasons that are slowly teased out. When he goes to a dance and sees the resplendent Katha (Kiara Advani) performing, he resolves to win her heart – only to discover that she has a flash boyfriend. Set in Gujarat and directed by Sameer Vidwans, Kartik Aaryan plays Sattu, an unemployed loafer who spends his time moaning about his enduring virginity and doing the housework (badly) for his despairing parents. There are strains of Richard Curtis and even Shakespeare in this charmingly cheesy Bollywood film about a thirtysomething manchild who falls for a woman way out of his league. A shootout in full ‘moon parade’ starts the search for the precious object. (Ab) beaten years earlier by Indiana Jones on a moving train, he wants to trace the two sides of the dial and travel through time by changing the course of history. Tailing her, craving the same good, is Jürgen Voller, a former Nazi who participated in the Apollo 11 project under a false name. Back from her past, Helena would like to retrieve the curious find to sell it at an auction in Morocco. Half of the dial has been resting for years in the Indiana Jones archives, after he stole it from the defeated Nazis in 1944. On the eve of the conquest of the Moon, he receives a visit from Helena Shaw, daughter of an old friend ‘killed’ by his obsession with him: the Antikythera machine, a mechanical device designed by Archimedes to find temporal holes. While waiting for a divorce, which weighs like the mourning of his son, Professor Jones drags himself to work and into an ordinary life ‘shaken’ only by the noises of the neighbors. Indiana Jones has hung up his hat and has been teaching archeology at New York University for a few years now. Posted in: 2023, Action, Movies on: June 28
