As long as our gold standard of filmmaking and sensibilities is Hollywood, there is no scope for original thought.

Weapon, which is essentially a bunch of people sitting and narrating your stories, starts with a narration about an alternative fictional history of a superhuman serum made by Nazis ending up in India when Subhash Chandra Bose visits Germany during the Second World War. The idea is just an Indianisation of many such superhero links to Nazis in the Marvel universe. This is the pinnacle of creativity director Guhan Senniappan manages to attain in the colossal mess of a screenplay, where it is hard to make sense of what’s going on. Mind you, it is not a complex film. It is just poorly edited and executed in the hope of coming across as layered and non-linear.

The whole ordeal of the theft and its return in 2017 via New Mexico will be chronicled in the show. It has spent the past two years at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles for restoration work and display. The painting will be in the same spot it was stolen from — but under a case.

Few tennis rivalries, if any at all, are as one-sided as that between Rafael Nadal and Richard Gasquet.
