Once again, Subhash K Jha revisits a film in his This Day That Year series, this installment shines the spotlight on the film Thanks Maa. A gritty hard hitting drama of a street kid’s search for an infant’s mother also, according to the director, paid a tribute to Salman Khan’s career.

Strongly reminiscent of Mira Nair’s Salaam Bombay and far more resonantly representative of Mumbai’s slum kids than Slumdog Millionaire, Thanks Maa, which clocks fifteen years on March 5, is a journey into lives that were born into despair. Without the crutches of self-pity, debutant director Irfan Kamal (son of the reputed choreographer Kamal) enters the world of the orphaned protagonist named Municipality, who, on one of those routine days of scavenging, stealing, and hanging around with his friends waiting for the next meal comes across an abandoned little infant. The film shows the gritty, harsh...

The film that Sushant Singh Rajput will be most remembered by, Sonechiriya, which turned six on March 1, is the most anguished plea against injustice and oppression since Bimal Roy’s Sujata. The deep silences in Abhishek Chaubey’s clenched narrative reminded me of Roy’s film about a Harijan girl (Nutan) looking for an identity.

We don’t have Harijans anymore as targets of exploitation. Director Abhishek Chaubey uses eerie silences in the stunning Chambal landscape to punctuate a sense of excruciating oppression. Besides Sushant and Ranvir Shorey, I came away with two heroes in Sonechiriya. The little brutalized girl from whom the film gets its title, whose devastated eyes still secrete a smile after all she has gone through. Raw, gritty, and compelling, Sonechiriya conveys a clandestine narrative style that never impinges on the violent disarray of the characters’ brutal, unpredictable lives. It is as Indian in spirit as cinema can get,...

A look back at Raja Krishan Menon‘s 2003 debut directorial Bas Yun Hi as it celebrates 22 years. We also get some insight as the director talks with Subhash K Jha.

The young 20-nothing metro-waasi never had it so good. Or bad. After Freaky Chakra where a freaked-out sutradhar, played by veejay Ranvir Shorey, gets all foamy and frustrated when he can no longer control the destiny of the characters he creates, this time another veejay turned, ahem, actor Purab Kohli sets up a fey doll Veda (Nandita Das) to woo a superstitious friend Rohan (Rajiv Gopalakrishnan) as a joke and then behaves like Aamir Khan in the post-interval half of Dil Chahta Hai.

The prank gets a yucky yank when stupid Cupid, the devilish matchmaker Aditya, realizes he loves flaky Veda for himself. He sulks like a brat being denied his favourite television show and finally grins when she consents to be his girl.

Some films just get you interested for all the wrong reasons. Think about it. This is a sex comedy about a bored and boring man who wants to pep up his life with a bit of wife-swapping… hardly the kind of theme and film that would qualify as little more than an effort to titillate audiences with a whole lot of junk feud in the domestic ambience.

Strangely and refreshingly Mixed Doubles, which completes 19 years on February 10, transcends the inherent limitations of its genre. The pincer-sharp dialogues (Anurag Kashyap) and a handful of believable actors who seem to understand the inner world of their urbane characters help to create a sense of lived-in reality in this brief film about giggly grief.

Director Rajat Kapoor, who made the quirky Raghu Romeo, seems to revel in the realm of the goofy. His ‘hero’ is a working-class bore, Sunil(played with acute fidelity...

The story and screenplay of this strongly citified fable on sexual liberation is credited to as many as seven writers. Too many cooks definitely don’t spoil this bubbly broth of uneven and yet endearing components from theatre, music videos, cinema, literature, soap operas, and sitcoms that merge with mirthful sighs.

Coming in the wake of the other films like Farhan Akhtar’s Dil Chahta Hai, Somnath Sen’s Leela, and Shashilal Nair’s Ek Chotisi Love Story about very young men being attracted to women old enough to be their moms, Freaky Chakra does suffer from a haven’t-we-seen-it-all disadvantage.

Fortunately for second-time director V.K. Prakash, his film is the most original among the films on the sexual diaspora. Its emotional graph swings from the ridiculously risible to the modestly poignant, sometimes combining both, as in the character of the pathetic Sunderam (Sachin Khedekar), the hypochondriac who keeps ringing...

It has been 18 years since Madhur Bhandarkar8s drama Traffic Signal was released. Subhash K Jha revisits the film and shares some very intriguing answers the director gave when the film hit the big screen.

Life for Madhur Bhandarkar’s characters sucks. They’re often a victim of sexual and political abuse. And you’re inclined to turn away from their anguish. What redeems the people in Traffic Signal are their frailties and their unquestionable humanism. The director captures them in on a cascading and mutating canvas. We see lives frozen in a state of emotional and economical imbroglio.

The characters are often seen doing the metaphysical equivalent of picking their nose in public. There’s no shame in letting it all hang out as long as the characters are prone to probe their wounds in bouts of agonized satire.

If Page 3 probed the beau-monde with incredible emotional sharpness, Traffic...

Raveena Tandon Once Confirmed The Camp Culture In Bollywood( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Raveena Tandon is quite transparent about her life, and she is not afraid to say things often avoided by others.

For the unversed, Sushant passed away in June 2024 by suicide. His death sparked several controversies, and it also pulled in several Bollywood actors and actresses. During that time, big names like Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, and Sonam Kapoor came up with Hashtags, including Boycott Bollywood, Boycott Karan Johar Movie Gang, and more. Nepotism was also a part of the big debate and is...

It would seem like a love story, but there are many themes uncovered by the writer-director as the film progresses.

The complex bond between attachment and release is deeply intertwined with love and mortality. In our lives, we tend to pose a significant question to our partners about the aftermath of one’s death, or rather, who dies first. The responses are typically complex, simplistic, or non-existent. Yet, the familiar pattern of shuttling between home and hospital, clinging to a sliver of hope, has become an undeniable reality. It’s as tangible as the clash between eternal love and the harsh truths of existence. Gajendra Ahire, a more pronounced name in the Marathi film industry, tries to tackle this dilemma in “The Signature,” which, of course, is not for the first time. Yet, the perspective that it chooses is complicated and sensitive- that of an old man with a much more energetic wife who finds herself unexpectedly on the verge of death.

The middle-aged, retired librarian Arvind is living a happy life,...

Certainly, Sai Ketan Rao has indeed carved out a distinctive and commendable path in the entertainment industry. Here’s a more concise and persuasive outline of why he deserves to win Bigg Boss Ott 3:

1. No Godfather in the Industry

Sai Ketan Rao’s rise is a narrative of pure talent and relentless effort. Unlike many who benefit from industry connections, Sai’s journey is self-driven, demonstrating that hard work and dedication can pave the way to success. His independent climb within the entertainment world makes his potential victory a symbol of merit over nepotism.

2. Raised by a Single Mother

Sai’s upbringing by a single mother imbued him with resilience and strength. This background not only shaped his character but also resonates deeply with many viewers. His story of overcoming challenges and honoring his mother’s sacrifices is inspirational, adding depth to his public persona and connecting with the audience on a personal level.

The fight for the Bigg Boss Ott 3 trophy is heating up as the grand finale approaches. Recently, the show saw the emotional elimination of Armaan Malik and Lovekesh Kataria, leaving fans and contestants in a state of shock. Following his exit, Lovekesh reunited with his fellow contestants Munisha Khatwani and Vishal Pandey, and Munisha shared a picture of their reunion on Instagram, highlighting their strong bond.

In the picture, the trio radiated excitement and friendship, posing with big smiles. Munisha captioned the post, “The real bond I made in the house,” tagging Lovekesh and Vishal. Vishal Pandey responded to the post with a comment, “Munni ji,” and Lovekesh added heart emojis.

Voice Growing Louder

“I Can See Your Voice,” the mystery music show which has been a hit format for South Korea’s Cj Enm, will strike a new chord with its 30th local adaptation set for Singapore.

The show in which guests have to identify whether the contestants are genuinely talented singers or bad singers based solely on lip-syncing and body language, is set to be adapted by public broadcaster Mediacorp. The aim is to eliminate the poor singers while identifying the talented ones to emerge as the winner.

It has previously been given local editions in countries including the U.S., the U.K, Germany, France, Thailand and the Philippines.

“[The adapted show is] set to bring our audiences weeks of family-friendly, dynamic entertainment. Beyond the excitement and suspense that comes with game shows, fans can also look forward to the unique showcase of raw performing talent beyond conventional singing abilities,” said Mediacorp’s chief content officer,...

Controversial YouTuber Armaan Malik, despite his eviction from “Bigg Boss Ott 3” just before the finale, still has a chance to see his family win as his wife, Kritika Malik, is among the five finalists. However, Armaan is rooting for fellow contestant and actor Ranvir Shorey to take home the trophy.

In an interview with a paparazzo on Instagram post-eviction, Armaan expressed his admiration for Shorey, stating that the ₹25 lakh prize money means little to the actor and that Shorey truly deserves to win. Armaan remarked, “Paisa unke liye kuchh nahi hai. He deserves to win aur main chahta hu trophy unhi ko mile” (Money doesn’t matter to him. He deserves to win and I wish he gets the trophy).

The couple has been at the center of attention due to their unconventional relationship, sparking debates among both housemates and viewers.

Ranvir’s remarks were intriguing. He pointed out how the film industry and its audience have historically accepted polygamous relationships involving some of the most celebrated figures. “Agar aap urban, elite, liberal hote jaise bahut hai jinke 2 biwi hai,...

Emotional Farewell

Similarly, Vishal’s exit stirred emotions both inside and outside the house.

As the finale of Bigg Boss Ott 3 approaches, tensions inside the house are reaching new heights, with dramatic confrontations capturing the audience’s attention. In a recent episode, a heated clash between Ranvir Shorey and fellow contestants Sana Makbul and Lovekesh Kataria was showcased, highlighting the escalating drama.

Ranvir Shorey confronts Sana Makbul and Lovekesh Kataria, demanding examples of his alleged rudeness. Shorey asks, “Ek example do jahan maine badtameezi kari ho tumse.” Sana responds, “Mere saath toh bahut saare incident huye hai Ranvir ji.” This triggers a flashback to a past incident that Shorey recalls, where he says, “Jab maine aapko bola, apni naagin jaisi aankhein mat dikha, uske pehle aapne kya kaha tha. Vo yaad hai aapko?” Sana admits her part in the confrontation, acknowledging, “Maine bhi aapse tu tadaak se baat kari thi. Maine aapko buddha bola tha.”

“Bigg Boss Ott Season 3” has sparked a lot of interest among fans and celebrities. Amidst the rivalries and controversies, actress Niti Taylor recently expressed her support for Sana Makbul in an Instagram post. She also criticized Armaan Malik for belittling Sana and called him out for his ‘double standards.’

Niti took to her Instagram stories and wrote, “Sana Makbul’s determination to win at any cost shouldn’t be criticized. The real issue is the biased treatment on ‘Bigg Boss,’ where contestants like Sana, Vishal, and Luv face undue scrutiny while others get away with physical altercations. Past seasons enforced stricter rules, but now violence seems tolerated. The persistent targeting of Sana, especially by men who gossip about her, highlights an unfair dynamic. Her resolve to win isn’t the problem; it’s the show’s declining standards and skewed portrayal of contestants. I don’t know her personally,...

As “Bigg Boss Ott 3” nears its grand finale, the show’s excitement is peaking as contestants vie for the trophy. In a recent episode, a dramatic turn of events unfolded during a press conference inside the house, where Armaan Malik and Kritika Malik were informed about Payal Malik’s decision to separate from them.

During the press conference, Armaan Malik was asked to choose between Payal and Kritika. He responded resolutely, saying, “Bhagwaan bhi niche aa jayega toh humara rishta kharab nahi hoga”. Armaan assured that once he and Kritika leave the Bigg Boss house, people will see them and Payal living together, indicating confidence in their relationship.

There were allegations that the complex relationship among Armaan, Kritika, and Payal Malik was a ploy to attract attention. Armaan defended the authenticity of their relationship, stating, “This relationship is genuine, and there is no deception involved.”
