Her incandescent beauty, innocent sensuality, and effervescent persona still send hearts aflutter and earned her the sobriquet of “Venus of Indian films”, but Madhubala’s enigmatic and beguiling smile and charm masked a lifetime of pain and suffering.
Madhubala, who passed away on this day (February 23) in 1969, earned tributes that have rarely been matched, leave alone surpassed.
She acted in a film named after her when she was not even midway through her career, was being copied or parodied when she was still acting, and is possibly the only Indian, film or otherwise, with a song dedicated to her being played at the Olympics.
She was also compared to the near-contemporary Marilyn Monroe – the two would pass away within a few years of each other, both aged 36, but did not welcome this as she did not consider herself a sex symbol.
Performances as the captivating but star-crossed Anarkali of “Mughal-e-Azam...

This year’s London Indian Film Festival boasts an incredible selection of film viewing over the next week. Not sure what to choose? Here are a few bite sized mini-reviews to whet your appetite.
The Cinema Travellers — directed by Shirley Abraham and Amit Madheshiya
Last year I had the pleasure of screening the Liff 2016 presentation of the Bengali film Cinemawala, which presented a fictional view of the decline of the traditional Indian cinema hall in the face of changing technology and an ever growing market in pirated films. This year, Liff 2017 presents the documentary The Cinema Travellers, directed by Shirley Abraham and Amit Madheshiya, which touches on a similar theme: the decline of travelling film projectors and their operators, again in face of a changing technological landscape.
The film made a stunning debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016 and has gone on to screen to enthusiastic and appreciate audiences...

Life lessons are learned, separated family members are reunited and a mother’s love is validated in the predictable but satisfying Indian comedic drama Half Ticket. A Mumbai-set, Marathi-language remake of the 2015 Tamil film The Crow’s Egg, Samit Kakkad’s third feature was distributed domestically by Fox Star Studios last July and could see some very modest art house business if Fox decided to follow up with a U.S. release.
Dnyanesh Zoting’s script largely follows the outlines of M. Manikandan’s Tamil original, introducing two young Mumbai slum boys, brothers nicknamed “Big Crow Egg” (Shubham More) and “Little Crow Egg” (Vinayak Potdar),...

Half Ticket is a Marathi film that explores the story of two children living in the slums of Mumbai. The team of Half Ticket released the third poster for the movie today. With the movie set in Mumbai, the poster depicts the rare and iconic double-decker buses of Mumbai.
The movie is set on streets of Mumbai and captures the essence of this great city in a way that has never been seen before. Just like the 2nd poster, which had an image of a Mumbai shipyard in vividly bright colours and 2 children, the third poster is an image of two double-decker buses in similar bright colours and the silhouettes of the same 2 children.
The themes of all these posters clearly depict a Mumbai influence and the bright colours set the mood for what is sure to be an upbeat and endearing film. A Video Palace production and directed by Samit Kakkad,...
