Arshad Warsi said about this film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan, I saw Kalki, I did not like it. I feel very bad when... Amit ji has done an incredible job. I could never understand that person. I swear that if we had the power like that guy, life would be made. He is very unreal. While Arshad praised Amitabh Bachchan a lot, he also cursed Prabhas for playing the character of Bhairava.

Arshad Warsi said, Prabhas, I am very sad that why did he look like a joker in the film, why? I want to see him like Mad Max. I want to see him like Mel Gisbon. What have you made him like? Why do you do this? I don't understand. Arshad Warsi told in a recent interview on YouTube that how despite being a technically very advanced movie and earning well, it did not win the love of the audience.

I think Rajkumar Rao has done a wonderful job. He has done a great job. Regarding Munjya, Arshad said that I have heard a lot of positive things about that film.

As far as the South industry in particular is concerned, the three divas who are literally rocking like never before are Rashmika Mandanna, Parul Yadav and Nayanthara.

Rashmika Mandanna: Our very own 'Srivalli' is known for her simplicity and her connect with the youth. Her strength lies in her simplicity and no wonder, we love the way she carries off simple t-shirts, denims and lehengas. She doesn't believe in 'OTT' fashion and that is what makes her a star.

Parul Yadav: If there is one actress on this list who is the perfect culmination of a super fit and hot body along with a stylish fashion game, it is Parul Yadav. She sweats it out in the gym to look the way she does and it is all thanks to her perfect hourglass figure, she literally rocks anything and everything in style like never before. Some time back, her pictures in a high-chic black saree, flaunting her curvy midriff with abs and well, her beautiful navel was the 'cherry on top' for her fans. Be it western outfits or ethnic lehengas and sarees, she is definitely 10/10 everywhere and that is why, we cannot take our eyes off this natural beauty whenever she is in her form.

Nayanthara: Last but not the least, if it is a list of fashion queens of the south then we have to talk about Nayanthara. Her strength lies in how she keeps things subtle and easy and often we see her draped in stylish and elegant sarees. His ethnic game is even stronger than the 'Hulk' and no wonder he has a massive fan following down South. A must-have inclusion in our exclusive list.

Inspired by real-life struggles of Indian women...

23-Jul-2024 222

Mumbai : Haseena Parkar was the sister of notorious underworld don Dawood Ibrahim. Known as the "Godmother of Nagpada," she became a prominent figure in Mumbai's underworld following her brother's rise to power and subsequent escape from India. Haseena was implicated in various criminal activities, including extortion and land grabbing. Despite being a feared figure, she also managed to evade law enforcement for much of her life, living in relative obscurity until her death in 2014.

Reel Life: The film "Haseena Parkar," directed by Apoorva Lakhia and released in 2017, stars Shraddha Kapoor in the titular role. The movie portrays Haseena's transformation from an innocent girl to a powerful underworld figure, largely influenced by her brother's criminal empire. It dramatizes her personal and professional struggles, emphasizing her role as a devoted sister and a formidable woman in a male-dominated world. While the film attempts to humanize Haseena, it takes creative liberties to enhance the narrative and add dramatic flair, which may not entirely reflect the complexities of her real-life persona.

Toilet: Ek Prem Katha: Real vs. Reel

Real Life: "Toilet: Ek Prem Katha" is inspired by the real-life struggles of many Indian women who face significant challenges due to the lack of proper sanitation facilities in rural areas. The story is particularly influenced by the tale of Anita Narre from Madhya Pradesh, who left her husband's home due to the absence of a toilet, prompting a movement towards building toilets and improving sanitation in their village. This reflects the larger issue of open defecation in India and the government's efforts to address it through initiatives like the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan (Clean India Mission).

Reel Life: The 2017 film, directed by Shree Narayan Singh, stars Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar as a newlywed couple, Keshav and Jaya, who face marital discord due to the absence of a toilet in their home. The film follows Keshav's journey to construct a toilet and the various societal and bureaucratic obstacles he encounters. It dramatizes the couple's struggle and aims to spread awareness about the importance of sanitation. While the movie is based on real issues and events, it incorporates fictional elements and comedic sequences to make the story more engaging and palatable for a broader audience, ensuring the message reaches a wider population.

17-Apr-2024 1441

Veteran actress Saira Banu recently shared her unfeigned

memories Ram Aur Shyam clocking 58 years.

Mumbai : Notedly, in the1965 movie, her late husband Dilip Kumar played a double role considered a landmark film in Indian cinema for popularizing the concept of dual characters played by a single actor. The veteran actress wrote, “Today, I’m here to talk about a film that holds a truly special place in my heart, one that I find difficult to adequately express. Surprisingly, it’s not one of my own films; I’m referring to ‘Ram Aur Shyam,’ a film that left a mark on the industry by introducing the concept of double roles. She further went on to add that in ‘Ram Aur Shyam,’ Sahib delivered a legendary portrayal of two characters. As Ram, he embodied innocence and fear towards his brother-in-law Gajendra, portrayed by the legendary Pran Sahab. Conversely, as Shyam, he was fearless, who triumphs over Thakur Ganjendra. It was a remarkable feat for one actor to inhabit opposing roles in a single movie, complemented by the stellar performances of Waheeda Aapa and Mumtaz.” She concluded by saying, as luck would have it, Sahib and she got married in 1966. Both “Ram Aur Shyam” and “Shagird” were the first movies to release following their marriage and both films were massive hits. “Ram Aur Shyam,” on the other hand, emerged as one of the iconic films made in Indian Cinema, and the journey has come to 58 years.
