‘A lot more high octane than its predecessors’ – Gran Turismo review | Films | Entertainment

We’re a few laps into the “based on a true product” craze, with films like Air (trainers), The Beanie Bubble (cuddly toy), and the upcoming Blackberry (defunct phones) offering us exciting tours of strip-lit boardrooms.
Thankfully, despite some pretty relentless product placement, Gran Turismo is a lot more high octane than its predecessors.
It gets off to an ominously dull start with marketing executive Danny Moore (Orlando Bloom) arriving at the headquarters of Japanese car company Nissan.
In a presentation peppered with dramatic pauses, Moore praises the Earth-shattering racing game and lays out an epoch-defining marketing scheme.
“A competition. For the best players in the world. To compete at professional racing.”
When we jump to the Cardiff bedroom of surly gamer Jann Mardenborough (Archie Madekwe), we know it’s time to strap ourselves in for an underdog sports drama.
Racing types will know that the real-life Mardenborough made a shocking transition from virtual to actual racing star. Here, he is also Madekwe’s stunt double.
Early scenes hammer home his underdog status. His dad, former Cardiff City footballer Steve (Djimon Hounsou), doesn’t support his dreams to become the next Lewis Hamilton. His mum Lesley (the actual Ginger Spice) seems nice but insincere. We can only assume this is what Geri Halliwell-Horner was aiming for. But, after Jann posts a high score, Bloom’s face looms up on his screen, inviting him to compete for a spot on the Nissan racing team.
Following a few dramatic setbacks, Jann, thanks to a certain brilliant Japanese car firm and the “world’s most accurate racing simulator”, achieves his impossible dream.
Director Neill Blomkamp cuts through the cheese with remarkable high-speed driving sequences that demand to be watched on the big screen.
And thank heavens for David Harbour who delivers a much-needed dose of cynicism as the grizzled trainer with the tragic back story.
I don’t own a games console and I can’t afford a new motor but I fall for this stuff every time.

Soha Ali Khan Goes To Kareena Kapoor For Gossips, Saif Ali Khan For Relationship Advice


Soha Ali Khan, who wrote the book The Perils of Being Moderately Famous, shared intimate details of her family dynamics in a recent chat with Yuvaa. Soha, who shares a cordial relationship with her brother Saif Ali Khan and sister-in-law Kareena Kapoor, shared who she turns to for different kinds of advice in her daily life.
During the recent chat with Yuvaa, Soha said that she goes to ‘Bhabhi’ Kareena for gossip, while brother Saif offers a balanced perspective on relationships.
“I go to bhai (Saif) for relationship advice because I don’t have too many male friends anymore. So I feel like getting a male perspective, because he’s always, not on Kunal’s side, but speaks from that lens,” Soha shared.
It’s no longer a secret that Kareena Kapoor loves gossip.
“She doesn’t gossip, but she has the most irrelevant information about people you would never think of crossing her mind. But she is incredibly observant and must be on some pretty special WhatsApp group that I would love to join,” Soha said about Kareena.
Crediting husband Kunal Kemmu for being a calming influence during parenting meltdowns, Soha joked that he also shares styling tips with her without being asked.
No points for guessing who has taken the seat of style consultant for Soha right now. It’s her 8-year-old daughter Inaaya.
Soha, who loves sharing famjam posts with her fans, recently celebrated Saba Pataudi’s 50th birthday with Saif and Kareena.
“A little belated but worth the wait – happy birthday, Apa,” Soha captioned the wholesome images.
In terms of work, Soha was last seen in the 2025 film Chhorii 2, which also featured Nushrratt Bharuccha. The film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. It is available to watch on Prime Video. Soha has been busy with her podcast, All About Her.

The Love Is Always Louder


Actor Trisha Krishnan attended the swearing-in ceremony of her rumoured boyfriend and actor-turned-politician Vijay at Chennai’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Sunday. Vijay took the oath as the next Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Recently, the actress shared her first post after the politician’s political achievement.
What’s Happening
- Trisha Krishnan shared a series of photos of herself from the oath-taking ceremony.
- For the ceremony, Trisha wore a seafoam-green saree paired with a blouse featuring golden motifs.
- She styled her hair in a neatly tied bun adorned with a white gajra and completed her traditional look with jewellery featuring red stones and subtle makeup.
- However, it was her caption that grabbed the Internet’s attention.
- It read, “The love is always louder.”
Background
Vijay is set to assume office after his party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), secured 118 seats in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. The party crossed the majority mark with support from Congress, CPI, CPI(M), VCK and IUML.
Tamil Nadu Governor Rajendra Arlekar formally appointed Vijay as the Chief Minister on Saturday and asked him to prove his majority in the Assembly before May 13.
Vijay’s parents also shared their happiness ahead of the swearing-in ceremony. Director S. A. Chandrasekhar said he was looking forward to seeing his son take oath as Chief Minister, while Vijay’s mother Sobha Chandrasekhar described the moment as emotional as it coincides with Mother’s Day.
With the formation of TVK’s first government, Vijay will become the first leader outside the DMK and AIADMK alliances to head the Tamil Nadu government since 1967.
About Vijay And Trisha Krishnan
Vijay and Trisha are among the most popular on-screen pairs in the Tamil film industry. They have appeared together in Ghilli, Thirupaachi, Aathi, Kuruvi and most recently, Leo. Trisha is currently awaiting the release of her Tamil film Karuppu, which stars Suriya.
In recent months, Vijay and Trisha have frequently been linked on social media amid internet speculation, though neither has responded to the claims.
Their close friendship has long been a topic of online discussion, with some users alleging a relationship between the two. Recently, after details from Vijay’s divorce filings became public, sections of social media once again connected the actor with Trisha. Some political figures have also referred to the alleged relationship while criticising Vijay.
Against this backdrop, reports of Vijay and Trisha arriving together in the same car and attending the AGS family wedding sparked renewed online conversation. While neither actor has addressed the rumours surrounding Vijay’s divorce petition, their appearance together at the event placed their long-standing association back under public scrutiny.
