Says the film’s director Irfan Kamal, “In fact Salman plays a very important in the film.

Mar 1st
Shams Patel plays a Salman Khan fan in Thanks Maa. He also happens to be one in real life. The boy who has won this year’s National Award for Best Child Actor confesses he has made his parents relieved and proud. “I’m very average at my studies.

But nothing compared to them.” Shams belongs to a business family with no background in cinema. “I got the role in Thanks Maa because the director Irrfan Kamal is my mama (uncle),” More >

"I’ve never heard of any film before where a person gets phone calls from himself" – Farhan Akhtar
Feb 22nd
It was 11.30am. London’s Somerset House was burning. I mean, summer time in London is like sitting on a red hot coal. I was drinking my favourite beer along with fellow journalists who were there to attend a press conference of SRK for his film Chak De India which had its premiere at the same venue later in the evening. The lady sitting in front of me passed a comment, “You sound so much like Farhan Akhtar. Talking to you is like talking to him.” It was Nasreen Munni Kabir (author, documentary film maker and producer on British television) who More >
Na Ghar Ke Na Ghat Ke
Feb 22nd
EXPECTATIONS To begin with, there are no expectations from the music of Na Ghar Ke Na Ghat Ke. The film has arrived out of nowhere, has a newcomer (Rahul Aggarwal) who is doubling up as a director as well as the lead protagonist and doesn’t quite sound like a musical that one could actually look forward. And then you see the people in charge of the music department and there is some level of resurrection. Composer Lalit Pandit, lyricist Mudassar Aziz and singers like Remo Fernandes, Shreya Ghoshal, Neeraj Sridhar, Sunidhi Chauhan and Sukhwinder Singh make one heave a sigh More >

Feb 17th
Meet the birthday girl Sadaa Sayed. A Maharashtra girl who has already made it big down South, courtesy 10 (oops, 20, as she corrects me later in the conversation) odd films that she already has to her credit, including top director Shankar’s Anniyan (which was later dubbed into Hindi as Aparichit), Sadaa is now stepping into the world of Bollywood. As she turns a year older today, there is a birthday gift waiting right up there at her front door with the release of Click just a couple of days away. In a conversation with Joginder Tuteja, Sadaa talks about More >
"How can you push a limitless actor like Shah Rukh beyond a limit?" – Karan Johar
Feb 13th
Now this is one bond which is stronger as ever and (thankfully) doesn’t threaten to break away. Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan have been a team and it is their coming together in My Name Is Khan which has given cine goers a reason to celebrate. There were always great expectations from the film and with My Name Is Khan opening to huge critical and commercial acclaim, it is clear that this ‘jodi’ is not going away anywhere. However, one wonders though that after being in the business for 20 years, where does an actor of the calibre of More >
