(Crisp) Movie Review: GOAT by FENIL SETA
11:44 PM
Like Zootopia, GOAT depicts a world of anthropomorphic animals. The imagination is solid. The city of Vineland is seen to be believed while the idea of having a game called 'roarball' adds a novel touch. The stadiums are also quite imaginative. The ending is lovely and a few scenes are touching. While Tyree Dillihay's contemporary direction is appealing, it also acts as the film's minus point. This is because the fast-paced cuts and sensory overload gets too much after a point. The humour is minimal, which is surprising for a film of this kind. Caleb McLaughlin does well in voicing the protagonist, Will. Gabrielle Union (Jett Fillmore) comes next. Jenifer Lewis (Florence Everson, aka Flo), is the best voice actor in the film, followed by Nick Kroll (Modo). All in all, GOAT is a timepass animation entertainer.

Jacqueline Fernandez shoots one of OTT's biggest songs with 200 dancers for GOAT
9:09 AM
Sources say Jacqueliene has shot a larger-than-life dance number with 200 dancers for GOAT, making it among OTT’s biggest songs

Dance numbers are a rare feature in the OTT world that thrives on taut storytelling. Recently, however, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali changed the language of web shows as he showcased larger-than-life songs in Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Now, Jacqueline Fernandez will bring a vibrant track to the screen with her maiden web series, GOAT. Sources tell us that the actor recently filmed it with 200 background dancers, making it arguably the biggest dance number in Indian digital entertainment.
The thriller, helmed by Abhishek Sharma, is led by Neil Nitin Mukesh and Siddharth Nigam. A source reveals, “Jacqueliene’s song was shot over Wednesday and Thursday at Shiloh Bar in Andheri. She trained with choreographer Ruel Varindani for two weeks before facing the camera. For the number, Ruel has blended different dance genres, including contemporary and hip-hop. The location, where a grand set-up was built, was cordoned off from the public to ensure a smooth shoot.”
It’s not common for OTT shows to include dance numbers, but we hear it is of significance in the Jio Cinema series. The source adds, “It serves as a turning point in the story, bringing the central characters’ journeys at an interesting juncture.”
