A film falling down an inclined plane has been an active topic of fundamental research at the international level for several decades both theoretically and experimentally and is now a classical hydrodynamic instability problem. However, the dynamics of a falling film in the presence of additional complexities, as compared to the classical problem, has largely been ignored by the majority of studies in falling films, even though these complexities are crucial in most situations of practical interest. These additional factors include heated substrates and three-dimensional effects. Here we present very recent and most-up-to-date developments for the problem of a falling film in the presence of these complexities and we outline open questions and issues which have not been resolved.
