Paresh Rawal was back in the news yesterday, May 29, when he said in a podcast that his issues with Hera Pheri 3 team had been resolved. In the same podcast, hosted by Himanshu Mehta, he also talked about why films and shows of OTT platforms, across languages and regions, are no longer impressing the audience the way they did before. Paresh Rawal explained, “With OTT, what has happened is that aap thak jaaoge. Earlier, we were like a kid in a candy store and we wanted to consume plenty of content. Now, you wonder, ‘Har picture mein gun hai? Har picture mein drug hai’. You get fed up. You start craving for content which relaxes you or has something different.” He added, “Sometimes, we remake the same stuff in Bollywood. Now, we don’t have the scale or standard to make the film on the same lines. Isliye munh ke bal girte hai.” Paresh Rawal continued, “Ek hi kisam ki picturein chalti rehti hai. It tires you out. You want to see something different. This is where Lapaataa Ladies (2024) ...

Arjun Kapoor celebrated his 40th birthday, and to mark the occasion, he engaged in a heartfelt online fan-meet session. During the conversation, the actor opened up about the challenges of being in the industry and shared his thoughts on how the current landscape often discourages experimentation. Speaking about the most challenging part of being an actor, Arjun said, "I think the most challenging aspect now is the ability to make choices to take risks and not be scared of failure or worry about 'log kya kahenge'. It’s about still feeling those butterflies in your stomach. The challenge is not to play it safe. The current environment has made most of us a bit comfortable because there's a constant fear of reviews, reports, and whether a film will work. When I did Finding Fanny, I didn’t overthink it. I liked the concept and the director's vision, so we made it happen." Reflecting on the evolving landscape of cinema, Arjun added, "In today's time, pe...

Six decades have passed, but Hindi Cinema will always look back at the year 1965 with pride. The momentous year saw milestone musical movies and the breakthroughs of emerging legends. The highest grossers Waqt BR Films’ Waqt, directed by Yash Chopra and produced by elder brother B.R. Chopra, was Hindi cinema’s first multi-star film after the landmark Mother India in 1957. Planned earlier as a film that would star Prithviraj Kapoor and his three sons, Raj, Shammi and Shashi, the film finally cast Balraj Sahni, Sunil Dutt, Raaj Kumar and Shashi Kapoor (who was then on a contract with BR Films) in those roles. The reason was simple: the film was a lost-and-found drama, and Chopra was told that as it had scenes where they came together on-screen in various combinations without recognizing each other, it would not hold as the familial resemblance in the Kapoors was too strong! Again, the obvious choice for the music were Shankar-Jaikishan, favourites of Raj and Shammi, but S-J’s refusal...

Not scream back at them, but at least say, ‘Listen, guys, calm down.’ You know, you don’t need to yell and scream to get a good picture.” Kajol also spoke about how the paparazzi often seek a reaction from celebrities rather than simply capturing images. She added, “It’s not about just clicking a picture or just click...

All throughout my life, I never took to it, and whenever I did also, it was not with a sense of calm and learning.

On the occasion, the reticent dancer-choreographer-actor-director revealed a third part of the dance franchise is on the anvil. “I really enjoyed surrendering myself to my fellow-choreographer Remo D’Souza. He directed me through the film. All the choreography was done by others. I just had to act and dance,” said Prabhudeva. So which one does he enjoy more? “You mean acting or dancing? To be honest, dancing is also a form of acting. So, I don’t see them as separate. But I don’t enjoy choreographing my own dances. This is why I enjoyed ABCD so much.” This is why the ABCD franchise means so much to Prabhu. “With ABCD and ABCD 2, Remo D’Souza has given birth to a new genre of entertainment in Indian cinema,” he said. I could’ve directed a dance film in Hindi. But I’m glad I didn’t. I don’t think I’d have been able to do it a...

Unfortunately, the actor went into depression and has been missing for years. On his 76th birthday, Bhatt spoke about Raj Kiran and the tragedy of his life. Bhatt Saab, was Raj Kiran a casualty of depression? Depression is not merely the absence of light; it is the crushing weight of darkness, where every breath feels like a battle against an unseen tide. I felt this truth viscerally when I met Raj Kiran in the psychiatric ward of Masina Hospital, Byculla, Mumbai. I had woken up that morning with an unnameable heaviness in my chest—a whisper of dread, the kind that cannot be explained, only obeyed. Something in me stirred with unease, and without thinking, I got into my car and drove to Masina Hospital. What prompted you to do this? I had heard that Raj had been admitted there, and though the world had already begun to forget him, I...

Producer Prerna Arora still can’t believe that Sushant Singh Rajput is not with us. “I can feel his presence everywhere,” she said. “Whenever I hear his songs, or when I watch his films, or when a talented newcomer speaks of his struggle—recently a kid spoke about how he lost a plum role to a star kid and it broke my heart—I think of dear Sushant.” About his death still being a mystery, Prerna sighed, “We will never really know what happened to him, why did he have to die? But to blame his girlfriend (Rhea Chakraborty) for his death was horrendous. We are all responsible for our own lives.” Prerna feels a deep sense of empathy with Sushant for one more reason. “He was a Shiv Bhakt just like me,” she said. “His Kedanarnath was a tribute to Shiva Bhagwan. My forthcoming Jatadhara is the same. There was so much more that Sushant had to give as an actor and as an important member of our society. To be snatched away so cruelly. It was my dream to cast Sushant as an avat...
