Guru Dutt
Suffused with the dark poetry of the death wish, Dutt’s classics were nihilistic, self-portraits of the artiste as a depressed, disturbed and deluded young man. Surprisingly, Guru Dutt Padukone’s childhood could have hardly been more normal. Born near Bangalore, of middle-class but intellectual parents, he was fascinated by dance. He joined Uday Shankar’s Dance Academy ...
It’s been a terrific year: Ash
Unfazed by the fate of her films at the box office, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan counts her blessings as she reaps the fruits of years of hard work. This year, except “Endhiran”, “Guzaarish”, “Raavan” and “Action Replayy” haven’t done too well at the BO. How much does that bother you? Not at all. I got a ...
Bollywood – Koffee wars: the claws are out
There’s never been much love lost between Hindi film heroines, but what’s with all the recent public sniping? Older readers will probably remember a more innocent time when film magazines carried reverential articles about the leading stars of the day, when those who were in a relationship were described as ‘very good friends’, and every ...
Bollywood – Amisha Patel accused of trespass and theft
The actress’s relatives accuse her of sneaking into their property at Prabhat road in Pune. They say laws are the same for everyone but as usual, some people continue to live blissfully ignorant of that. Actress Amisha Patel had a tryst with the legal system around Diwali this year. Amisha’s uncle Nalin Rajni Patel submitted ...
Break Ke Baad (2010)
We all know Bollywood gives us unrealistic expectations about men and Break Ke Baad makes those expectations rise to the sky. It’s a story about the ideal guy, Abhay (Imran Khan) who technically any girl wouldn’t leave no matter what happens. But here’s an exception; Aaliya (Deepika Padukone). Abhay and Aaliya are childhood friends and ...
Dabangg (2010)
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s official. Salman Khan is the new Rajnikanth. Move over, aged Robot, and take that flimsy toupee with you. If 2009’s superhero action-hero flick Wanted wasn’t enough, Salman Khan’s biceps returned to gravity-defying action avatar in Dabangg. Legions of Salman Khan fans must be sighing in relief as to the rustic Zandu ...
Action Replayy (2010)
Is there more to Vipul Shah’s take on Back To The Futuresque film than just the item number ‘Zor Ka Jhatka’, or is Aishwarya looking attractive in a jumpsuit all that we can look forward to? All these questions and more can and will be answered by watching Action Replayy (AR), the latest work of ...
Guzaarish (2010)
Guzaarish is an ambitious film, no less than we would expect from a director like Sanjay Leela Bhansali who treats cinema as art and whose passion for his art shines through every frame of his films. It deals with the controversial issue of euthanasia or mercy killing. Guzaarish chronicles the petition to be allowed to ...
Mehboob Khan – The Failed Hero
In 1931, when Ardeshir Irani was planning India’s first-ever talkie, Alam Ara, he had, in fact, Mehboob in mind for the male lead. He had even got his outfits tailored. However, there was a sudden brainwave that the film needed a big name. So Master Vithal, a big star of the ‘silent’ era, was roped ...
Mehboob Khan – The Turning Point
R.G. Torney, the general manager of Imperial Film Company, took a liking to the God-fearing young man and tried to give him as many opportunities as possible. Though Mehboob had been facing the camera for three years, he was hardly noticed, not even by himself! However, a film called Shirin Khusru changed his destiny overnight. ...
