Sanjay Khan is a veteran actor who carved a niche as a suave and romantic leading man in the 1960s and 1970s. His contemporary actors were Rajesh Khanna, Amitabh Bachchan, and Jeetendra, among others. The senior actor once revealed how the friendships among the current generation of actors are superficial. He compared the present times with his time in the industry, and he said it is worse now. Keep scrolling for the deets.

Indian actor Aamir Khan has delivered many memorable performances during his illustrious forty-year acting career. Whether it’s his cop act in Sarfarosh, his performance as a strong-willed villager in Lagaan, or his performance as a determined father in Dangal, he nailed them all. But according to Aamir Khan, that’s not the case with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s critically acclaimed social political drama ‘Rang De Basanti’ because the sixty-year-old actor thinks that he could have done one particular scene of the film much better.

In a recent interview with Fever FM, Aamir Khan confessed that he was not satisfied with his own acting in the scene from Rang De Basanti where DJ and Sue come back after facing the wrath of the police during a peaceful protest.

Hania Aamir Alleges Pakistani Army For The Pahalgam Attack? Here’s The Truth(Photo Credit –Facebook)

The Pahalgam incident has left our country grieving and in disbelief. The Indian government is now taking the necessary steps to take action against terrorism.

Padmini Kolhapure Once Revealed That Raj Kapoor Wanted Her To Slap Rishi Kapoor Hard(Photo Credit – YouTube)

Raj Kapoor is known as the Showman of Indian cinema; hence, he was also particular about his shot. People learned about it a little more in-depth when Padmini Kolhapure shared a story from when she did Prem Rog with Rishi Kapoor. There was a scene where Padmini had to slap Rishi, and his father, Kapoor Senior, did not go light just because it was his son. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The movie, directed by Raj, was released in 1982 and has achieved cult status over the years. It is also considered one of the most notable films of the lead actors and its director. The film is widely recognized for its progressive portrayal of widow remarriage, a subject that was highly taboo in Indian society at the time. It stands out in Raj‘s filmography as a filmmaker.

Shining the spotlight on the talented actress Nanda, Subhash K Jha focuses on her life in reel and real.

Nanda, who was part of the illustrious Mangeshkar family, never got her due. And she was herself partly to blame for it. Fixated on becoming another Meena Kumari, she was typecast in weepy family-oriented roles of the all-sacrificing Choti Bahen, Beti and Badi Didi. These are actually the titles of three of her popular films where she was shown sacrificing her own happiness for the family.

Nanda did make a belated attempt to break out of her doleful image with her shocking murderous avatar in Yash Chopra’s Ittefaq and as a drug addict in Naya Nasha. But she is largely remembered for her sweet, benign domesticated roles (I can’t recall one film where Nanda was cast as a working woman) humming and chugging her way into audiences’ hearts in...

It is said that the Bollywood showman Raj Kapoor had a Midas touch. Raj Kapoor’s 1982 directorial Prem Rog has become a classic cult movie in Bollywood history. The blockbuster musical drama starred Rishi Kapoor and Padmini Kolhapure in lead roles.

Padmini Kolhapure started her acting and singing career at a very young age. The actress went on to become one of the leading ladies of the 80s Hindi cinema, delivering hits like Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Dream Girl, and Ishk Ishk Ishk, all while she was a child artist.

Naaz Cinema Building in South Mumbai was the address for the film distribution and exhibition trade in the city, besides all the peripheral businesses that served and survived on these trades. The cinema itself had seen some glorious days with a number of great hits screened there and the building above it was where just about every major film distributor and exhibitor worked from. Whether it was a first-time film producer, or a regular maker, a visit to Naaz was a must to sell his film.

Actress Kriti Sanon is all praise for Ashutosh Gowariker, her director in the upcoming film, "Panipat". She says the filmmaker "cannot see his women weak", a reason his female characters are always strong and powerful.

In "Panipat", the actress plays Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau's wife Parvati Bai. Talking about how Gowariker has imagined Parvati Bai as a very strong person, Kriti said: "Ashu sir, I feel, is someone who cannot see his women weak. He has this thing."

"I think it comes from the fact that he has a very strong woman with him, Sunita. I am so glad because even though his films are period, his characters are very contemporary. He has made Parvati Bai as someone who fights, who can protect her women and her people if the need be. Giving that power to her, giving that stature to her is very empowering.

Ever since the posters of Ashutosh Gowarikers ambitious "Panipat" were released, Internet has been buzzing with extreme reactions. While some have noted the film's lavish look, trolls and memes have been having a field day, too, with jibes at the film and its lead actor Arjun Kapoor.
