The fourth episode had the Kaushal brothers gracing the stage. The episode was humor-filled and exposed many to rags-to-riches stories of Vicky and Sunny Kaushal. Both brothers are the sons of Sham Kaushal, one of the most celebrated action directors in Hindi cinema. Still, their stories from their younger days are a testament to the hardships they have faced and reflect how they deserve the fame that Vicky has achieved for himself.

Mumbai, March 10 (Ians) Actress Ratna Pathak Shah, who is enjoying the response to their recently released streaming series ‘Happy Family: Conditions Apply’, has shared that comedy opened up new avenues for her as an actor.
She added that in the absence of comedy, her body of work would have turned out to be that of a very serious actress, who does only intense roles.
The veteran actress recently appeared with her co-actress Ayesha Jhulka on a chat show. Ratna, who is known for her iconic role of Maya Sarabhai, said: “I was on my way to becoming a great tragic actress.

Student of the Year 2
Starring Tiger Shroff, Aditya Seal, Ananya Pandey, Tara Sutaria
Directed by Punit Malhotra
In a film that runs on and on almost as fast as its agile leading man, for nearly 2 and a half hours Student Of The Year 2 (SOTY2) leaves us with nothing except repeated visuals of youngsters pouting preening and posing for the camera, and pelting the part of the provocateur with an aggressiveness that soldiers at the border display when the enemy is in the mood for some action.
But the absence of any tangible takeaways in this designer version of Mansoor Khan’s Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, should be the least of our worries. Six years back when Karan Johar directed Student Of The Year we all wondered what kind of educational opportunities awaits a nation where cinema propagates a classroom-free academic orgy replete with colour, music, banter, flirtation, courtship… everything except sex and education.

CinemaOn the actor’s 52nd birthday, here's looking back at Aamir Khan, the early edition.Naomi DattaAamir Khan is a superhero. In reel life and real life. He can do no wrong as an actor or a producer – he is even a secret superstar in China. But every good superhero has an origin story – a time where not everything he did worked. Some did, most didn’t. This is about a bygone era, much before Dangal, Pk or even Lagaan. This is about Aamir Khan – the Origins. In 1988, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (Qsqt) with its spin on Romeo and Juliet became the definitive romance for an entire generation. The leads of the film, Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla, became instant teen sensations. Weeks into the release of the film, the makers did a poster campaign which simply said, ‘Who is Aamir Khan? Ask the girl next door’. The girl next door was smitten – so much so that in my hometown, the girl next door who went by the name of Rashmi fell in love with a man called Raj only because he was called that (Aamir and Juhi played characters called Raj and Rashmi). Qsqt is a lovely film that told its story of star-crossed lovers sans any over-the-top melodrama – which makes it a film that can be loved in equal measure in 2018 too. A pity that its director, Mansoor Khan, chose cheese-making over filmmaking eventually. (Aside: The Raj and Rashmi in my hometown didn’t end up together either in spite of the very strong basis to their relationship. Shocking.) But not all of Aamir’s filmic choices in the years that followed Qsqt would stand up to scrutiny in this era. Proving that even Aamir Khan can have dodgy script sense (believe it or not). Right after Qsqt, the lead pair signed up for a B Subhash film called Love Love Love. (B Subhash had earlier made Disco Dancer and Dance Dance). I have no recollection of the film except for a song that went, Nachenge hum, gayenge hum, disco dandiya. That sums up the posterity value of that particular film. In fact, Aamir and Juhi (unlike Srk and Kajol) would never reprise their winning act of Qsqt as successfully ever again. After Love Love Love, the two went on to star in duds like Tum Mere Ho and Daulat Ki Jung. It took Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, which came five years after Qsqt, to redeem them finally. But only somewhat. In between Qsqt and Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke, Aamir Khan played a snake charmer (don’t even ask!) in Tum Mere Ho; an anti-dowry activist in Jawani Zindabad and a stalker in Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin. It is fortunate that no one has any memory of Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin (1990), a film which co-starred Madhuri Dixit. Aamir Khan plays an obsessive lover in the film who manages to win over the unwilling girl just by relentless stalking. Luckily, the film tanked and no one noticed. Aamir also acted in Awwal Number – in the only role that Dev Anand didn’t do in the film. Not everything that Aamir did in the 90s was awful though. There were two perfectly charming films as well. Dil Hain Ki Manta Nahin and Afsana Pyar Ka in 1991. The former worked. The latter didn’t. There were also awful films that he did which went on to become monster hits. Like the crass, over-the-top Dil that was everything that Qsqt was not. Obnoxious, loud and in-your-face melodrama. Dil even had a mock rape scene that set the stage for the heroine to fall madly in love with our hero (Yes. The 90s were a bit questionable that way). Other questionably bad films like Raja Hindustani too worked at the box office in that era. There were bright sparks though – Ghulam, Sarfarosh and Earth. Films of the late 90s which were moulding Aamir Khan into the infallible icon that he is today. Getting him into winning position after a series of false starts. Aamir Khan in that sense then is the superstar of the millennium. Most of his worst films were over and done with in the 90s. The 2000s have seen his best work, be it Lagaan, Dil Chahta Hai or Dangal. And this is the century where he seems to get everything right. Ironically, this innings started with Mela in 2000, his last terrible film where prophetically he sang, Dekho dekho 2000 zamana aagaya (a song heralding 2000 as the start of an era). It sure worked out well for him. Happy birthday, Aamir Khan. Naomi Datta grew up watching all of the terrible and not so terrible films of the 90s with absolutely no parental supervision. She remains grateful to her parents for that.

Choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan is currently in London for the 17th London Asian Film Festival.
The Happy New Year director today attended a choreography masterclass at the Southbank Centre and a sing-along screening of Om Shanti Om starring Shah Rukh Khan at Prince Charles Cinema in the West End.
At the master class earlier today, Khan clarified that it’s a myth that she worked for veteran choreographer Saroj Khan during the making of Aamir Khan starrer Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. In fact, Farah was assisting the director, Mansoor Khan, and only took over as the choreographer once Saroj Khan walked out.
Farah also recalled how the same almost happened during the making of the iconic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. “Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan called me from Switzerland and asked me if I can come the following day to shoot a song for them because Saroj Khan had not landed up on set.

Mansoor Khan’s Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988), the film which saw the debuts of Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla and also catapulted them both to stardom, has officially completed 25 years this week. Speaking about the occasion, Juhi had this to say to the Indian media, “It’s been 25 years, unbelievable and it was on the 29th April that the film was released.

The festivities were coming to a close and I was restively glancing at my watch as I knew I had yet to endure a four-hour drive to London. It was approaching midnight.

There was a time in the Hindi film industry when idealism was highly valued. From Guru Dutt’s Pyaasa to V. Shantaram’s Do Aankhen Baarah Haath, from Mehboob Khan’s Mother India to Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Satyakam, the protaganists were people who lived and died for their ideals. Their idealism was stubborn even though it gave them great personal pain.
Things started changing in the 70s when the hardships of stubborn idealism gave birth to personal frustration in the new generation – which found an outlet in the angry young man persona. At the same time, the hippy culture was bringing in a new wave of individualism. The youngsters of the era started turning rebels which was well captured by Raj Kapoor in Bobby, which had teenage lovers rejecting their parents authority and eloping. However the idealism was not totally lost, as the older generation held on to it. Film...

While Aamir Khan is an extremely talented actor but he was faced by a challenge when he had to ‘look’ like he was in his 20s for his role in 3 Idiots. He had to work hard on looking, behaving and dressing like youngsters these days do. His inspirations were mostly his son Junaid’s friends.
His character in the film, Rancho, is apparently based on his cousin Pablo, who is Mansoor Khan’s teenaged son. Aamir likes the way Pablo is so fidgety that he can’t stay still for a minute. He doesn’t stop to even talk.
