 Question 02
Bollywood often is in the media limelight for various reasons but this particular incident
caught the frenzy like no other. The media hype has been compared similar to that of the
assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan and Michael Jackson's fire accident on an ad shoot. It
was such a big thing that then PM Indira Gandhi was personally involved to do the best she
could in the aftermath of the event and Rajiv Gandhi cancelled a trip to the US just so he could
personally supervise everything. Bolly fans of all caste, creed, race etc took whatever
transport they could be it bus or train and camped outside where X was being kept in those
days.

Which event are we talking about?

 Question 03
The All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) issued a very major statement imposing a
total ban on a certain group of bollywood artists in the year of 2019. This sudden decision took
the media by storm and considering the circumstances back then one would have been very
supportive of the decision, it being of national interest. Although the hammer blow was
delivered in 2019 but the seeds leading to such a decision were sown back in 2016 when Indian
Motion Pictures Producers Association (IMPPA) did same the in the wake of the subsequent

X is seen wearing an “Alice in Wonderland” sweatshirt on her last day in Amsterdam during the
movie on which is written 'Alice in Wonderland meets the White Rabbit', as if telling us that - - - - (4)

wanted to get away from an unwanted marriage proposal, hence she followed the rabbit in a
waistcoat to enter the forest of fantastical place, where she is greeted and welcomed with open
arms by several characters who helped her in the Underland. Like Alice, - - - - (4) meets many
characters on her journey, who are completely different from her world. This is a tribute to the

On 27 Feb 2014, NASA launched the GPM (Global Precipitation Measurement) satellite.
The GPM is an international network of satellites that provide global observations of rain and
snow so we can better understand the global water cycle. Incidentally, most of the common

 Question 08
Perhaps being the first bollywood movie of its kind to create a different perspective for the

The climactic combat scene, wherein the protagonist was fighting off the villains, saw the
directors of the film used an age-old tactic employed by many _ _ _ _ (4) developers in their
works. For many this addition to the scene felt like a firsthand experience and sort of added a
new dimension to the movie itself.

Once a symbol of the golden age of air travel, a DOUGLAS SUPER DC-3 Airplane lies hollow
and remained untouched condition since it crashed more than 4 decades ago in a Black beach

of Arctic gales and rain. Its tail and wings are gone; windows are also smashed as it was
forced to crash land on Solheimasandur beach on 24 th Nov, 1973. Amazingly all crew survived

Cannabis, also known as Marijuana, is a psychoactive drug which originates in Central and
South Asia. Although it may be used in medicines but it have severe effects on the nervous
system which include euphoria, altered state of mind, difficulty in concentration and many
more mental effects.

A movie titled X depicted ill-effects of the drug on a large community and the director of the
movie changed the name of a character after the drug as an allusion.

What was this character’s name ?

 Question 13
The movie K, which was released in late 1980’s, due to its star-studded cast and the
background plot, was then considered as the costliest movie ever produced and it saw the
comeback of an cinema giant ______ after a 4-year hiatus. The film was a big hit and it ran for
consecutive 96 days in a theatre. The movie at that time set up a new trend of selling film
merchandise. The title of the movie meant a forcible overthrow of a government or social
order, in favour of a new system.

Though Xs are very common in daily life, this particular X has got some value. It was auctioned
for whopping amount of 1.42 lakhs which is almost 1000 times it's actual price. Thing which
makes it so special is its presence in Y which was part of a movie _ released in 2004. Y has got
iconic status and is attached to the actor on some compromising parts, pulling himself with X
to go forward in the movie. We have seen him and many other actors repeating it on several
occasions. It was his fan who bought this X for such huge amount.

What are we talking about?

 Question 15
The director of the movie wanted to shoot the entire scene in one long take. But it was
impossible because there were other characters whose reaction had to be shown. In fact the
director was scared that the entire scene was just an extended monologue with one person
speaking and everybody else just quietly reacting without any words. This would make for
very boring filmmaking, he thought. There were many discussions regarding what should be
the central theme of discussion and at the end it was decided that 'time' should be the main
driving force.

 Question 01
In a very hilarious anecdote shared by actress ‘X’ in 2022, she mentioned about how people would
come up to her when she was in the US, referring to her as the ‘Y’. She said, “I wasn’t even aware
where it came from. Then my manager told me that this song (Y) is a hit.”
Asked if she really wasn’t aware of the song, she said, “No, I wasn’t aware of the song. They called me
and asked me if I can do this song. Mujhe laga kaun faltu hai. And I told them, don’t call and disturb
me and get lost. I cut the call then. I wasn’t even aware who was _ _ _ _ _ _ (6). How would I know? I
get so many prank calls and I thought someone is pulling a prank on me.”
All this confusion seems to be related to one of her appearances in a very famous 2011 movie song
going by roughly the same name as the new song (released in 2021). Ironically enough the offer
which she denied on the call became one of the most played songs of the year and gained millions
of views on YouTube and the entire scenario ended on a not so sweet note for ‘X’.

ID the context.
 Answer
Mallika Sherawat’s item song ‘Jalebi Bai’ from Double Dhamaal (2011) and the song
‘Jalebi Baby’ by Tesher and Jason Derulo
 Question 02

collaboration has been so successful that it contains a movie that has been listed in Time
magazine’s World’s “10 best Soundtracks” of all time and a movie that is amongst the largest
selling music album of all time. X was impressed with Y’s work when he went down to his
studio and listened to a tune that Y had composed long back on Kaveri River Water Dispute
and signed him immediately after listening.

For one of the films, X never told Y the story of the movie , X just said “give me seven stages of
love” and Y ended up composing yet another masterpiece.

ID X and Y.

 Question 03
The film ‘X’ which was supposed to be Karan Johar’s most awaited film of a particular year
was embroiled in controversies before and after its release. This nearly ended up leaving a
mark on his illustrious career as a filmmaker had he not come forward and apologized for
such a farcical script and deviations from what he had originally planned. Adding salt to the
wound was the revelation that the story of ‘X’ had been copied from a 1999 book ‘What the
Body Remembers’ due to its striking plot and character similarities. With such scenarios
encircling the movie, it ended up going down the drain thereby ironically justifying its title ‘X’
amidst the fray.

ID X.
 Answer
X - Kalank released back in 2019
 Question 04
This song was originally meant to be recorded in A's voice with music given by B. Once while
composing a scratch version of the song, B presented it to his uncle who was visiting his house. His
uncle recommended that B himself be the singer as his voice is perfect for the song. But B refused. A
few days later on the actual day of recording, A couldn't turn up for recording and there was no
choice left. B himself sang the song and impressed everyone around so much that the director of
the movie remarked: this should be the final version as the song was not picturised on any lead
actor and A mostly sang as voice of the lead.

Which almost 5 decade old song are we talking about that could be the earliest example of what we
call an _(4) song? Also ID A and B.
 Answer
A- Kishore Kumar

B- RD Burman

Mehbooba song
 Question 05
The movie X went through a series of titles starting with ‘Taap’, then ‘Raand, Saand, Seedhi,
Sanyasi’, then ‘Duhera’, then ‘ Ud jaayega ’ and ‘ Hans Akela’ and then finally ‘X’. The idea of the
title came from the song by Chhannulal Mishra ji's ‘Khele __ Mein Holi Digambar’.
It was on the sets of the iconic 2012 two-part movie that the director of X and the lead actor Y
met, where both of them were working as assistant directors.

We all know Y today as India’s finest actors but what we might not know is that one of the
most famous and important scenes from the movie was improvised by him where he insisted
to drink alcohol to perform the scene. In the script, the character wasn’t supposed to seek
closure until the end but Y cried while performing which created a great impact and gave us
the scene.

ID the Movie X.
 Answer
X- Masaan

Y- Vicky Kaushal
 Question 06
Bollywood actor X was brutally trolled by netizens when he claimed that he was offered a role
in a Hollywood movie Y but he refused it. X on a show said that he told the director the film
will be superhit but it will take years to get it done. He added that he is person who follows
ayurveda and can't do the adaptations required for the role for such a long time. But his claims
did not go down well with netizens who began trolling him with memes and jokes on social
media One of the jokes goes like- he refused the role because director didn't agree to name it
Y __ (this is kind naming popular particularly in his films). Even after that he stand by his
earlier statements. There are many comments against and in support of his statements but
the truth is unknown.

 Question 07
This song was so complex that it had to be sung by the music composer and two singers,
making a total of 3 individuals and employed two languages. The song was meant to be larger
than life and hence one of the singers also performed a practice known as 'Wudu' or 'Wuzu'
before recording it. The division of who is going to sing which part of the song was very
cleverly given to the singers based on the culture they grew up in since they would have a
very good grasp on particular aspects like pronunciation/diction of words in the language. This
song released 12 years back has been hailed as an evergreen classic and some consider it one
of the best compositions of the music director.

Which song? What was the division of the lyrics (which language, sung by whom)?
 Answer
Kun faya Kun

All the Arabic/Persian parts from Quran were given to Javed Ali/AR Rahman while Hindi/Urdu
parts were given to Mohit Chauhan
 Question 08
Perhaps being one of the most awaited films of 2022, partly due to its star-studded cast and
partly due to the hype surrounding the movie before its release, Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra
received a mixed reception and critical acclaim. Be it either the film’s bleak dialogue at times
or the poor direction, the movie was filled with many such moments. But amidst those
moments of boredom came a moment of pure joy during a scene in the movie which served
as a homecoming for the retro fans, making them gush about this all over the internet. When
asked about why they (referring to the movie-makers) planned it out like that, Ayan replied
that this wasn’t a coincidence and was done as a tribute to one of the first movies (2004) he
worked on much before he became a household name. The creative choice of the
character’s name and profession in question was a very subtle homage to this 2004 movie.

Shah Rukh Khan’s cameo character name in Brahmastra is a tribute to his character Mohan

 Question
___ (2007) was a multi-genre film and is remembered for its script, some very filmy performances
and romantic tracks that are still remembered fondly. The other romantic aspect in the film is when
the heroine gifts our hero, Y, a X. It added a nice touch and its sales reportedly increased after the
film.

However, getting hold of it was a challenge for the director and her team. For X, the makers were in
need of a dancing couple but the X's available in the market featured a bride and a groom and
shipping X from abroad would take too much time. With no alternative, Y went through his then
six-year-old daughter's toys, but the effort proved futile. Finally the team got lucky and the AD
found the 'couple' at Mumbai's famous chor Bazaar.
