Nandita Das in Kolkata to shoot for Onir’s film Afia
Mar 9th
After winning multiple Filmfare awards for her directorial debut, it was a grand homecoming of sorts of Nandita Das in Kolkata which is not really her hometown. Nandita is an Oriya by parentage. But because of the number of films she has done in Bengali she’s often mistaken for a Bengali. So it was when she landed in Kolkata last Sunday. Armed ecstatically as she was with her 4 Filmfare awards for Firaaq, the city greeted her with open-armed ovation. “The last film I shot in Kolkata was Paddakhep (Footsteps) with Soumitra Chatterjee,” she says from the sets of Onir’s More >

Feb 26th
Om Shanti Om, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Love Aaj Kal – Pick up any of the successful films that Deepika Padukone has been a part of and it is quite obvious that she has always had an important role to play in the film’s narrative.

This is why when one sees her in a couple of song sequences and a light hearted scene or two in Karthik Calling Karthik, one wonders if this is all More >
