MollywoodThe video shows Soubin breaking into a really fun dance.Tnm StaffThe teaser of Ambili, Soubin Shahir’s next after Virus, was released on Friday.

If the ‘faith and family’ film-makers’ task is to proselytize, they are doing a wretched job with these cheap, risible films
If you just can’t wait for that first Republican primary debate to get some vague talking points about duty, honor and the healing power of Christ’s love inarticulately blurted in your face, have I got the movie for you! PureFlix Entertainment, the Arizona-based purveyor of (per their subscription-based streaming website) “faith and family movies” that hit big with God’s Not Dead, has followed up the recent Old Fashioned and Do You Believe? with their worst movie yet. At least the others had ludicrous storylines worthy of ridicule. This one is just plain boring.
It’s 1997, and California-based nice guy John Paul George (Kevin Downes) is readying to marry his longtime girlfriend whose sole ambition in life is the preparation of home-cooked meals. John Paul’s mother recently passed and,...
