The Rising South
Bollywood Vs South Indian Cinema was an ongoing debate in 2022, with Kannada, Tamil and Telugu films setting cash registers ringing, and how! It all began with Allu Arjun’s Pushpa: The Rising, after which South Indian films continued to be the toast of the cine world, with pan-Indian hits like RRR, K.G.F: Chapter 2 and Kantara.
Keeping you on the edge of your seats
If you are a fan of crime thrillers, then you were spoilt for choice in 2022, with web series like Rudra: The Edge of Darkness, Suzhal: The Vortex, and films like Jalsa and Gehraiyaan keeping you on the edge of your seat.
Diversity & Inclusion
From awards to many firsts for Black and Brown communities around the world, such as Squid Game’s Lee Jung-jae becoming the first Asian-native Korean to win an Emmy, and Marvel getting its first South Asian female superhero in Ms. Marvel; women headlining successful shows and films like Jalsa and Gangubai Kathiawadi; and mainstream Bollywood actors playing gay characters in Badhaai Do, 2022 saw some radical changes as far as the inclusivity-diversity narrative goes.
That’s all folks,
Or as Arnold Schwarzenegger from Terminator 2
Once said, “Hasta la vista, baby.”
