Father's Day 2021: From Kramer Vs Kramer to Piku, a look at 10 movies that celebrate fatherhood

-

Fathers Day is celebrated to acknowledge and appreciate the role of fatherhood on the third Sunday of June. As art imitates life, there have been many brilliant movies on fatherhood.

Bollywood's take on this delicate and deep of relationships has often been simple. Nevertheless, there are plenty of other movies (Indian and international) that have successfully explored the various facets of this bond.

On this Father's Day, let's take a look at 10 movies that depict father-child relationship, brilliantly:

The Pursuit of Happyness

One of the most loved, inspiring movies starring Will Smith, this movie is a fascinating tale of a father never giving up struggling for his 5-year-old son. It's a heartfelt film depicting paternal bonds.

Kramer Vs Kramer

Directed by Robert Benton, this Academy Award winning, iconic film is about a workaholic father's special bond with his son.

Interstellar

IndieWire quoted Director Christopher Nolan as saying "Interstellar is what it means to be a dad."

This heartwarming, sci-fi film is a must-watch this Father's Day.

Father of the Bride

Elle features this movie on their top 48 father-daughter films list. It's a classic tale about a father's possessiveness about his daughter as she spends more time with her fiancé.

Piku

This is a moving film about a hypochondriac father and daughter, their bittersweet tiffs, eccentricity; captured extraordinarily by Shoojit Sircar. Deepika Padukone-Amitabh Bachchan portrayed a very realistic view.

Gunjan Saxena

It's an inspiring movie about a girl (Janhvi Kapoor) wishing to pursue her dream and getting supported by a very motivating, considerate father (Pankaj Tripathi).

Paa

Directed by Balki, this Amitabh Bachchan-Abhishek Bachchan starrer is about a 12-year old boy who has a rare genetic disorder, and his father; whose identity is concealed by the mother. The father-son rapport is just too beautiful to watch.

102 Not Out

Baap cool beta old school read the tagline of this film. The father played by Amitabh Bachchan is more fearless, lively at 102 while, the son (Rishi Kapoor) who is 75 is always cautious, grumpy and fragile.

Kapoor and Sons

This movie showed three generations of father, sons, grandsons. Their sometimes quirky, sometimes jovial, emotional activities weaved seamlessly into the plot, making it a must-watch.

Shakha proshakha/Branches of the Tree:

The way the father-son relationship is explored in this movie by Satyajit Ray is extraordinary. The genius auteur is on-point with the nuances and dynamics while showing the four generations of an affluent family.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-
Image
After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu

Aditya L1 Mission: Spacecraft is nearing its final phase, says ISRO chief

-
Aditya L1 spacecraft is nearing its final phase, and manoeuvres to enter the L1 point are expected to be completed by January 7, 2024, according to ISRO Chairman S Somanath. “Aditya is on the way. I think it has reached almost its final phase,” the ISRO chief told PTI on the sidelines of an event organised at VSSC to commemorate the 60th year of the First Sounding Rocket Launch. Aditya L1, India’s first space-based mission to study the Sun, was successfully launched on September 2 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota. The spacecraft, after travelling about 1.5 million km from Earth over 125 days, is expected to be placed in a Halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1, considered closest to the Sun. He said that the last preparations for the spacecraft’s entry into the L1 point are currently underway incrementally.”Possibly by January 7th, the final manoeuvres will be done for entering into the L1 point,” Somanath added. Among other tasks, it will capture and tr
