Let’s just go to a church and do it right there.’ I was taken aback and said, ‘Are you mad?’ But he was insistent. He said, ‘I want to spend my life with you, and I can’t see it any other way.’ His...

​The production of Dhamaal 4 recently encountered a significant challenge involving a high-risk action sequence. Originally planned to be executed using visual effects (VFX) due to safety concerns, the scene’s approach was reconsidered by director Indra Kumar and lead actor Ajay Devgn. The sequence reportedly involves Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, and Jaaved Jaaferi hanging from a cliff. They proposed performing the stunt live to add a greater sense of realism to the film.

This decision raised safety concerns among the cast, particularly Arshad Warsi, who was slated to perform the most perilous aspects of the stunt. He expressed hesitation about the risks involved in executing the scene without VFX support.

A source revealed (Via Mid-Day), “It wasn’t supposed to be a live-action sequence because the location can be precarious. However, a few days before the shoot,...

It’s been two decades since Lucky: No Time For Love hit the big screen. Released in 2005, the film marked the directorial debut of Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru and introduced Sneha Ullal opposite Salman Khan.

The film was shot in one stretch over 65 days, featuring scenes with real military equipment including tanks, soldiers, and steam engines, all coordinated with the Russian army.

Lucky was also notable for its music. It marked Adnan Sami’s debut as a film composer and brought together a line-up of legendary playback singers, including Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosale, and Sonu Nigam. Many of the songs...

Dharmendra and Hema Malini are two superstars who made sure that their love found a fate, and the two married each other despite the actress’s family’s disapproval of marrying an already-married woman. It was during such a time that the Basanti of Hindi Cinema was told to get married to superstar Jeetendra!

Yes, you read that right! The Himmatwala actor’s alliance was fixed with the Sholay actress, despite the two of them dating other people! While Dharmendra was the love of Hema’s life, Ekta Kapoor’s father was dating Ekta’s now mother and then a cabin crew – Shobha Sippy!

Shah Rukh Khan On Losing Out On Awards ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Shah Rukh Khan is not only known for his glorious contribution to Indian cinema but also for speaking his mind time and again. The actor has reportedly won 300 awards throughout his film career which also includes 15 Filmfare awards. He has also battled rumors of him ‘buying’ some of these awards. However, in a throwback interview, he was asked whether losing out on an award disappointed him.

According to a Reddit post, in an old 2002 May interview with Filmfare, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about losing out on awards. To this, the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge actor boldly declared that the people who do not give him awards are the losers. He also claimed that the Filmfare trophy looks the best in his hands.

Shah Rukh Khan admitted that this thought might seem childish to some people but confessed that there is a child inside him.

In a special This Day That Year, Subhash K Jha shares memories of his dear friend Rituparno Ghosh and his movie career including Memories In March.

By the time Rituparno Ghosh showed up as a man grieving for his dead partner in Sanjay Nag’s Memories In March, released on April 1, 2011, he had turned cinema into a weapon of anguished anger about his sexuality.

Bereavement and memories are a great high for celluloid drama. Some of the most poignant and memorable films of our times have tapped into the wounds of grief for creative juices and emerged trumps at the box office. Think of Meena Kumari mourning for her impotent marriage in Guru Dutt’s Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam or Supriya Choudhury’s smothered screams of protest for her wasted life in Ritwick Ghatak’s Meghe Dhaka Tara, or more recently, Nicole Kidman blaming the world around her for remaining...

When Hema Malini Supported Esha Deol Slapping Amrita Rao(Photo Credit –Instagram/Facebook)

Stories of nasty catfights between Bollywood actresses are not unheard of. One such incident occurred on the set of the 2006 film Pyare Mohan, wherein the lead actress Esha Deol slapped her co-star Amrita Rao on the set of the film. However, did you know that not only was Esha unapologetic about the same but her mother, the legendary actress-politician Hema Malini also supported her daughter for the same.

In a throwback interaction with host Rajat Sharma in his show Aap Ki Adalat, he had quipped Esha Deol on her admitting to slap her Pyare Mohan co-star Amrita Rao. On this, the Dhoom actress unapologetically said, “Kisi ne agar kuch galat kiya aur hum baaton se unhe samjha nahi paate hain, toh.” However, her mother Hema Malini who also graced the show along with her daughter, jumped to her defense.

Many cineastes think Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather is the most influential film of all times. I would have to go with that. So would Feroz Khan, who’s been in two of the worst Godfather-influenced films of all time. Here’s saluting The Godfather clones, good, bad and the awful.

1. Dharmatma (1975):

Feroz Khan was always ahead of his time. So, it’s no surprise that he was the first Bollywood filmmaker to jump on the The Godfather bandwagon with this wildly out-of-control remake—an almost scene-by-scene reaffirmation of the original with Feroz playing Al Pacino and Premnath as Marlon Brando. A laughably crude homage to the original, the silver lining was the beauteous Hema Malini as Reshma, the exotic Afghani lass whom Michael, sorry Feroz, falls in love with. Hema dancing to Lataji’s ‘Mere galiyon se logon ki yaari ho gayi’ would have probably given Coppola...

However, not many know that they started their career by directing the Salman Khan starrer 2005 romantic film Lucky: No Time For Love. In a recent chat with Koimoi, they opened up about the superstar being a huge support system for them. Apart from them, they addressed the request by fans to cast the actor in the sequel of Sanam Teri Kasam.

When Dharmendra Was Left Angry After Sanjeev Kumar Proposed Hema Malini(Photo Credit –YouTube/Facebook)

The 1975 film Sholay is considered to be one of the most timeless movies of Indian cinema. However, the set of the movie did have its own share of drama. It was not a hidden fact lead actors Dharmendra and Hema Malini were in a relationship during the shooting of the same. But, not many know that actor Sanjeev Kumar who played Thakur in the same, was also smitten by Malini’s beauty and had proposed to her marriage on the sets of the film. This had raised the temperature on the set by several notches.

According to Bollywood Shaadi, Sanjeev Kumar had earlier asked Hema Malini’s hand for marriage to her parents in the early 70s. However, both the actress and her parents turned down his request, leaving him heartbroken. This also reportedly caused...

It takes a lot of willpower and grace to remain oneself even after stardom hits you. I have seen success affect actors in two ways. They either change completely or pretend not to change.

Alia Bhatt is the exception. She has not changed one bit since she sashayed into sight in swirl of girlie poise in Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year in 2012. Alia was not only Student Of The Year — She was the whole school. Endowed with the kind of natural talent and fresh beauty that I saw in Lucille Ball and Sridevi, Alia was just the antidote to the syntheticity that had crept into Bollywood ever since the norm and benchmark for feminine persuasiveness became how much and how frequently an actress is seen on social media.

Like Tiger Shroff, Alia Bhatt was treated as a bit of a joke on social media when she started. I...

While I am still trying to figure what Iifa means by giving the two actresses from Laapata Ladies the Best Actress and the Best Debutante awards, I am yet to understand why one of the best films of 2024, if not The best, Do Aur Do Pyaar was completely obliterated from the awards.

Forget winning; Applause Entertainment’s Do Aur Do Pyaar didn’t even get nominated in any of the categories. So, were the Iifa awards only celebrating the successful films of the past year?

If so, imagine what would have happened to Guru Dutt’s Kagaz Ke Phool or Raj Kapoor’s Mera Naam Joker.

Do Aur Do Pyaar is a far superior work to almost every film we’ve seen in 2024. It is breezy and lighthearted, but never frivolous. Director Shirsha Guha Thakurta dives deep into a marriage in crisis. Miraculously, she finds a lot of laughter and humour in the crisis.

The controversy stems from the sequence in which these Maratha warriors are depicted as betraying Sambhaji by siding with Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The Shirke family has condemned this depiction, claiming it distorts history and maligns their ancestors.

Vicky Kaushal’s performance in Chhaava as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj has left a strong impact on audiences. Fans are now eager to see portrayals of other iconic Indian kings, including the legendary Rajput warrior Maharana Pratap. Thanks to Kaushal’s talent and work, he is already being looked at by fans as a potential candidate for the role and they aren’t alone in this sentiment.

Veteran screenwriter V Vijayendra Prasad, known for his mastery in crafting epic period dramas like Rrr (2022), has expressed his belief that Vicky is a perfect fit for the role.

Shah Rukh Khan’s return to the big screen in 2023 was nothing short of a cinematic spectacle. After a four-year hiatus, the Bollywood megastar stormed back with Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, all of which shattered box office records. Each film showcased a different facet of Srk’s versatility, and Jawan stood out for its blockbuster action, emotional depth, and, most notably, the actor’s striking bald look.

When Srk’s character was first introduced in the movie, his bald look became an instant sensation, with fans praising the actor’s ability to reinvent himself even after decades in the industry. However, as surprising as it may seem, this now-iconic appearance was never part of the original plan.

What Did Paresh Rawal Say About Akshay Kumar Doing Multiple Films Each Year? ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Akshay Kumar is one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars, having worked in various genres, from action-packed thrillers to socially relevant dramas. However, one thing distinguishing him from his peers is the sheer number of films he takes each year. Unlike most top-tier actors who pick one or two projects every now and then, Akshay often completes four to five films in a single year, making him one of the busiest actors in the industry.

While this relentless pace has earned him admiration for his efficiency, it has also sparked criticism. Critics argue that churning out films at such a rapid rate can compromise quality, and some believe it affects the depth of his performances. One person who has now stepped in to defend Akshay is veteran actor Paresh Rawal, a longtime collaborator and friend.

Here’s How Hema Malini Had Reacted To Dharmendra And Anita Raj’s Rumored Affair ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Dharmendra tied the knot with Hema Malini in 1980 after they fell in love on the sets of Tum Haseen Main Jawan. The road to their union was not an easy one since the legendary actor was already married to his first wife Prakash Kaur during that time. However, they still went ahead with the marriage which had grabbed several eyeballs during that time. But there was a time when even their happily ever after had hit a major roadblock.

When Dharmendra’s Rumored Affair With Anita Raj Was On Full Swing

While it seemed everything was fine after Dharmendra managed to tie the knot with Hema Malini despite several hurdles, the then emerging charismatic actress Anita Raj entered his life. Anita was 27 years younger than the Sholay actor and was making a...

Manorama, who was known for her comic and negative roles, never got her due from the Hindi film industry. Now when, seventeen years after her death, memes are devoted to her comic virtuosity. It is emphatically tragic that she died in penury.

Hema Malini, who was ‘tortured’ by Manorama in Ramesh Sippy’s Seeta Aur Geeta, remembers the senior actress fondly. “She was so convincing as my wicked aunt; the audience hated her for torturing poor Seeta, and that was me. I remember there was a scene where she makes me undrape my saree. I was shaken after that scene. So evil on screen! But such a warm, friendly human being in real life.”

Sadly, the Indian moviegoing audience largely confuses the actor for the character and the character for the performance. Another brilliant actress, Shashikala, was hated by the public as she largely played negative characters. Sharmila Tagore once...

In this special feature for Valentine’s Day Subhash K Jha reveals who he thinks are the 10 most romantic on-screen couples of all time.

1. Raj Kapoor-Nargis: They did a number of notable films together, the most celebrated among them being Awara. The sizzling chemistry between them set the screen on fire. While later in the history of Bollywood coupling, real-life jodis got bland and boring, Raj-Nargis continued to enthrall audiences until the bitter end…Their bitter end when they called off their relationship. Nargis’s last shot with Raj Kapoor was in Jagte Raho, where in the song ‘Jaago mohan pyare’, she poured water into the parched Kapoor’s mouth.

2. Dilip Kumar-Madhubala: Their real-life chemistry spilled into Mughal-e-Azam, creating the most amazing chemistry. Though they did other films together, including the very thought-provoking Amar, their togetherness continues to be celebrated through this all-time classic.

In this fascinating feature, Subhash K Jha looks back at the incredible career of writer, director and actor, the brilliant Lekh Tandon.

Recently Anil Kapoor spoke about how the 1980 film Ek Baar Kaho changed the course of his career. The long post made mention of everyone, from the film’s luminous leading lady, Shabana Azmi, to the producers, Rajshri Productions. But Anil forgot to mention Lekh Tandon, who directed Ek Baar Kaho!

This was the story of Lekh Tandon’s life: his films got recognition. He didn’t. Lekh Tandon was one of our most prolific and underrated directors. His range stretched from the playful Professor to the magical Dulhan Wohi Jo Piya Man Bhaye to the illogical Jahan Pyar Mile. His most celebrated film was the historical Amrapali (1966), which recreated the legendary romance between Amrapali, the courtesan, played by Vyjayanthimala, and Ajayshatru, the emperor of Magadh, played by Sunil Dutt.
