It’s safe to say that Bollywood hasn’t had the best of years in 2017. Most films with high stakes have failed miserably at the box office. On the other hand, many smaller films have had an admirable run, with films like Bareilly Ki Barfi, Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and Newton working well with the masses. And…
Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai released on 14th January, 2000, and became a superhit. Hrithik Roshan became the heartthrob of the nation, and everything seemed to be going perfect in the Roshan household. But fate had other plans. On 21st January, 2000, Rakesh Roshan was shot by Abu Salem’s gang members. One bullet hit his arm,…
Anshuman was one of the most memorable characters in Jab We Met. Tarun Arora made the role his own, by playing the typical MCP. He was the guy everyone loved to hate, helped by Tarun’s near-flawless performance in the film. But we didn’t see much of the talented, good-looking actor, after Jab We Met. What…
Biopics are the ‘in thing’ in Bollywood this season.

The whole Padmavati fiasco has snowballed into a never-ending saga, the kind we see in Ekta Kapoor daily soaps. With the release date of the film now uncertain, Padmavati is certainly going to remain mired in controversies for the foreseeable future. However, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Co need not worry. Controversies barely affect the box…
It’s not like Bollywood has never made a decent horror film. Raat, Bhoot, 1920, and 13 B were good horror films, which gave the audience the right kind of chills. But those were few and far in between. Bollywood has thrown up inexplicably bad horror movies, every once in a while. Let’s have a look…
Manushi Chillar was crowned Miss World 2017, in a proud moment for India. A long, and potentially glittering career in the show business awaits her. But she needs to tread very, very carefully, especially if she has Bollywood dreams. Not every beauty queen had an illustrious career. For every Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, there is a…
Those who have worked with Sridevi, in any stage of her career, swear by her professionalism. She has never thrown any tantrums, and pretty much done anything the director has asked her to do. This is a story that proves Sridevi is a consummate professional. She was shooting for Lamhe in London, when she got…
Salman Khan defines ‘swag’. It’s almost like the term was coined to describe Salman! So, what better song for him, than ‘Swag Se Swagat’?
