Bollywood superstar Salman Khan on the grand finale night joked about former ‘Bigg Boss 17’ contestant and Youtuber Abhishek Dobhal’s absence from the show on Sunday.
In a moment of laughter, Salman talked about Anurag and said: “Isi season main the na who? Mujhse ya Bigg Boss se bahut khafa hai woh… Itna post kardiya Bigg Boss ke barre main ke woh aaya nahi.. Kahin wadiyo main hoga.”
Anurag on Instagram stories had revealed the reason as to why he is skipping the much-awaited ‘Bigg Boss 17’. He said it is due to “self respect”.
In a cryptic post on Instagram, Anurag shared: “Atma samman ke liye main uski jhoothi tareef nahi kar sakta.. For those who are asking I said no to attend Bigg Boss finale. #brosenaontop #biggboss17.”
The message is not clear if its directed to Bollywood superstar Salman Khan or the makers.

Mumbai Diaries Season 2 (Prime Video)
Starring Konkona Sen Sharma, Mohit Raina, Tina Desai, Shreya Dhanwanthary, Satyajeet Dubey, Natasha Bharadwaj, Mrunmayee Deshpande, Prakash Belawadi, Parambrata Chattopadhyay, Riddhi Dogra
Directed by Nikhil Advani
Overlooking the rather strange lacuna in the timeline whereby the second season moves from the terror attack of 26/11/2008 to the monsoonal deluge of 26/7/2005, Mumbai Diaries part 2 is a more intricately sketched portrayal of a city under siege than part 1 which suffered from under-developed characters and over-informed plot developments.
By now we know who’s who at the Bombay General Hospital. They need no introduction, and their function within the disembodied domain of injury and trauma is clearly aligned to the crisis on hand. There is more of Konkona Sen Sharma’s Chitra Das this time than Mohit Raina’s Dr Kaushik Oberoi, the head of trauma who seems pretty traumatized himself.
There are tons of trauma to be negotiated...

Veteran writer and lyricist Javed Akhtar said on Thursday evening that Indian films have been faithfully reflecting the sentiments of the society. “Indian films have always depicted and reflected what is happening in our society. The cinema comes from the society. It is the same with dreams. What is there in the conscious and subconscious mind will get reflected in dreams as well,” Akhtar said at the launch of his book, ‘Talking Life: Javed Akhtar in Conversation with Nasreen Munni Kabir’.
Akhtar said that in the 1930-1940s, when K.L Saigal essayed Devdas’s role, the ‘khansi’ (cough) had become a virtue and fashion. “Self-destruction had become a virtue because of Saigal. However, as the society grew, this self-destructive virtue also vanished,” he said.
“When the Nehruvian era came, everyone thought that soon things would be fine,” Akhtar continued. “But as people felt that not much was changing, cinema gave...

Cinema can be a powerful medium for social transformation, and no one gauged it better than the legendary V Shantaram who used his memorable films to attack the malaise of untouchability and caste, forced marriages of young women to (rich) old men, dowry, communalism and regionalism, as well as to humanise policemen, prostitutes, and convicts.
And, he was not deterred when any of his courageous films ran afoul of vested interests.
When his “Apna Desh (Hindi)/Nam Nadu (Tamil)” (1949), an eloquent appeal against the deepening fault-lines threatening to destabilise the newly-independent country, faced an ill-informed and easily-swayed public and a malicious media campaign, there were powerful backers to ensure it faced no problems. These were no less than Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Morarji Desai, the then home ministers of India and Bombay state, his daughter recounted in his autobiography.

Mumbai, Oct 7 (Ians) The portrayal of women in Hindi cinema has undergone a sea change compared to an era gone by. The digital age has rendered more substance to the female characters with even the female protagonists having grey shades but there was a time when Bollywood had stereotypical portrayal of women.
And, there have been actresses, who mastered the craft of portraying characters such as that of mother-in-laws, vamps and gangster moll with absolute finesse, so much that these actresses became synonymous with those parts.
Here are some of the actresses who have essayed the roles of mother-in-laws, vamps and gangster moll under the umbrella of negative characters, with aplomb.
The Evil Mother-in-law:
Lalita Pawar: The Og! Lalita Pawar’s portrayal of a cruel mother-in-law can not be matched upto till date even by the finest of actresses. If you remember words like ‘Kulta’, ‘Kamini’, ‘Kalmuhi’ and ‘Karamjali...

Sanjay Mishra is an actor who never fails to surprise. His gallery of performances ranges from buffoonery (Golmaal) to sheer brilliance (Ankhen Dekhi). There is nothing this maverick performer can’t do.
His new film Kaamyaab features Sanjay as a ‘character actor’ of Hindi cinema on a very strange mission.
“My character Sudheer is a character actor like Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor or Lalita Pawar, so brilliant that anyone can take him from granted as and how they like. Sudheer has already done 499 films in his career. He is retired and aimless when suddenly something happens, and he wants to do that one last film which would round off his career. He wants to be remembered as the only actor who has done 500 films,” says Sanjay Mishra.
Recalling how he jumped out of his seat when the director Hardik Mehta narrated the script to him, he says, “It was the...

Saand Ki Aankh
Starring Bhumi Pednekar, Tapsee Pannu,Prakash Jha, Vineet Kumar Singh
Directed by Tushar Hiranandani
There is plenty of preaching in this wackily entitled film. And yet Saand Ki Aankh hits bull’s eye. All the rhetorics and sermonizing thrown at the pig-headed annoyingly imbecilic men in this film—and the moronic men’s brigade is led by ‘Dadaji’ Prakash Jha who smirks at the womenfolk in his sprawling family and smokes hookah in the same breath—are richly deserved.
These men, so carictural in their patriarchal pursuits and perversities deserve to be killed with sermons. And Bhumi-Tapsee playing sisters-in-law kill it. Though Tapsee’s old-woman act is not fully supported by her makeup, both she and Bhumi shine as sisters-in-arms, hiding a guilty secret from the men who remain blinded by their entitlement and arrogance till the end. And when Tapsee taunts them towards the end for...

At a recent event, the multi-talented Farhan Akhtar revealed his next home production with Ritesh Sidhwani Jugnu. The shoot for the same is expected to begin in the month of October. Keeping the mystery intact, Farhan did not mention the theme of his next movie. It remains for the fans to wait to know of Farhan Akhtar?s role in the project. Would it be as a scriptwriter, as an actor, as a director-producer, or would a new talent be revealed, all to know in good time?
The title of the film takes us back more than four decades back to a Dharmendra starrer with the same title Jugnu. It also featured Hema Malini, Lalita Pawar, Mehmood, Prem Chopra, Nazir Hussain, Ajit, and Pran. Producer-Director Pramod Chakravorty?s Jugnu was about an extremely intelligent crook with a ?Golden? heart who had a remarkable ability to steal from the most protected setups.

One of Bollywood’s most underrated directors passed away quietly at the age of 88. Lekh Tandon gave us a slim slew of scintillating cinema starting with the blockbuster Professor in 1962. The oddball comedy paired Shammi Kapoor with, of all people,Lalita Pawar! Many decades later Reema Rakeshnath remake Tandon’s blockbuster –very shabbily—as Dil Tera Aashiq. After directing the much-loved musical Jhuk Gaya Aasman (Rajendra Kumar-Saira Banu in an afterlife comedy), PrinceRead More
