Donald Trump
How Many Terrorist Attacks in the U.S. Have Been Carried Out by Immigrants from the 7 Banned Muslim Countries?
Donald Trump
On Friday, President Donald Trump signed a controversial executive order that suspended entry of all refugees to the United States for 120 days, barred Syrian refugees indefinitely, and blocked entry into the U.S. for 90 days for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

The ban has sparked outrage, fear and protests across America and the globe. Some have also called into question its legality, pointing to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which banned all discrimination against immigrants on the basis of national origin. On Saturday, federal judges in New York and Boston...

'We Caught a Terrorist': How a Routine Call Led to the Capture of the N.Y.C. Bombing Suspect
Ahmed Khan
It seemed like a routine call for Angel Padilla: The Linden, New Jersey, police officer was dispatched Monday on a report of a man sleeping in the doorway of a bar. Padilla, a 15-year veteran of the force, "thought he was checking on a homeless vagrant," Linden police spokesman Capt. James Sarnicki tells People. In reality, Sarnicki says, "It turned out to be one of America's most wanted." Authorities say the sleeping man that day was Ahmad Khan Rahami, the 28-year-old suspect in three recent bombings in New York's Chelsea neighborhood and two locations in New Jersey.

Ahmed Khan
Linden, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey police officer responding to a call about a hoodied vagrant curled up asleep in the doorway of a bar roused him and quickly recognized his bearded face as that of perhaps the most wanted man in America. Ahmad Khan Rahami — identified in an FBI bulletin just hours earlier as a man wanted in the weekend bombings in New York City and New Jersey — pulled a gun, shot the officer and triggered a running gun battle in the street that ended with Rahami wounded and in custody Monday, authorities said.

Hrithik Roshan and Yami Gautam shoot a romantic song for Kaabil
Hrithik Roshan
After giving super-hit Krrish 3, Hrithik Roshan is reuniting with his father and filmmaker Rakesh Roshan in an upcoming drama, Kaabil. The actor will be seen opposite Yami Gautam for the first time and they already have started shooting for the film.

Earlier this week, Hrithik Roshan wrapped a romantic number with Yami Gautam which is an importance sequence in the film. The song will be followed by the lead pair's wedding. The two and half day song schedule consisted of a series of montages of them instead of a full-fledged dance sequence which was filmed inside a house. The romantic song has been choreographed by Ahmed Khan.

Last month, Hrithik Roshan released a teaser for the film with an intriguing line 'The mind sees all'. The actor portrays the character of a blind man who is on the path of revenge. Ronit and Rohit Roy will be playing the antagonists in the film.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo to feature Bollywoods longest song
Salman Khan and Sonam Kapoor in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015)
Knowing the image that Rajshri Productions holds in Bollywood, we are aware that their films won't be any less than a musical. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, yet another family drama featuring their favourite superstar Salman Khan as Prem, will not be an exception either.

Amidst eight songs in the album, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo will have a thirteen minute song which is the longest number in Bollywood by far. Elaborating on the song, the film's choreographer Ahmed Khan stated that this will neither be an 'antakshari' scene nor is it a combination of different songs together (medley). He further asserted that it will be one single song that will take the story of the film ahead.

Further adding that it will be picturized on Salman Khan, Ahmed also gave us a glimpse into his character in the film. He mentioned that the song will have a football sequence where the...

The petition, drawn up by sudent Khwaja Ahmed, reads, "Bill Maher is a blatant bigot and racist who has no respect for the values Uc Berkeley students and administration stand for. In a time where climate is a priority for all on campus, we cannot invite an individual who himself perpetuates a dangerous learning environment."

Ahmed adds, "Bill Maher's public statements on various religions and cultures are offensive and his dangerous rhetoric has found its way into our campus communities. Too many students are marginalized by his remarks and if the University were to bring this individual as a commencement speaker they would not be supporting these historically marginalized communities."

Ahmad, who has dabbled with acting and direction, besides choreography, is co-judging it with veteran Geeta Kapoor.

TV Review: CBS’s ‘NYC 22’ is TV District That Feels Too Familiar
Chicago – “NYC 22” reminds me of a cover song by a really strong bar band. You can admire the craftsmanship. It doesn’t hit any wrong notes. And it reminds you of what you like about the original. But it can’t replace it. “NYC 22” is so derivative of other programs that it is constantly fighting with itself because it exposes its own flaws through the comparison. It feels like “NYPD Blue” and “Southland,” but those are the brilliant originals. This is the cover version.

TV Rating: 3.0/5.0

The cast of “NYC 22” is a strong one but the more important voice is behind the scenes as the show was created by the brilliant Richard Price, the author of the novels “Clockers,” “Samaritan,” “Lush Life,” and more, as well as one of the main writers of “The Wire.” (Read and see everything in the previous sentence…now.)

Premiering on Sunday April 15 on CBS, NYC 22 features six unique NYPD recruits as they learn though experience on the perilous streets of upper Manhattan. The emotional and physical demands of their work require these rookies to mature in a hurry, and increasingly they are forced to come together as a unit. NYC 22 chronicles their struggles and their growth. The rookies are a diverse bunch: Jennifer 'White House' Perry (LeeLee Sobieski), a former college athlete and Marine MP; Ray 'Lazarus' Harper (Adam Goldberg), the senior rookie and former police reporter whose sources are more reliable than those of even the most seasoned cops; Tonya Sanchez (Judy Marte), a young woman with a family well known to the NYPD; Ahmad Khan (Tom Reed), an Afghani native who fought his way to freedom; Kenny McLaren (Stark Sands), a fourth-generation officer who is talented but is unsure about his future on the...

Top 15 Picturizations of 2011
2011 was a year filled with good music and many outstanding song picturizations. In this top fifteen we will acknowledge all the choreographers, art directors, cinematographers, performers and many more who have worked very hard to entertain us.

15. ‘Aap Ke Aa Jaane Se’ – Love Breakups Zindagi

This song is not on the soundtrack of Love Breakups Zindagi. It is actually a renewed version of the same song from the movie Khudgarz from 1987. The song comes at a point in the film when the whole family is together and the youngsters in the family perform to a song in order to entertain the guests. And what better song to perform to on a wedding than ‘Aap Ke Aa Jaane Se’. A huge, disco style stage is set up with lights and all. The choreography is a bit old school and brings back memories of the late 80s and 90s, which is quite...

Zombies Ate My Neighbors The Game, Errrr Movie?
There was a time when if you loved zombies, you had to break out the old VHS tapes and “strain through the grain” while that beloved layer of analog “hiss” intertwined with a raspy groan for “Brains!”. Fortunately, I guess, zombies have become nauseatingly main stream and Hollywood has been scrambling for anything “living dead” like a sparkly vampire up a tree…wait, why do I get that reference?...

If you owned a Super Nintendo and let’s face it you did, I’m sure you’ll remember Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Yep, you guessed it, film adaptation! John Darko has “fleshed” out a screenplay and is in search for financiers as we speak. The word on the web is that things are looking good so hopefully we’ll be hearing a Lot more about this project in the near future.

As far as the story goes, little has been released.

Paathshaala and Phoonk 2 box office results
Shahid Kapoor-starrer 'Paathshaala' and Ram Gopal Varma's 'Phoonk 2' have failed to set the ticket windows buzzing. While the former got an average initial footfall thanks to Shahid's presence, the horror seems to have fallen flat.

The lukewarm response from audiences comes despite round-the-clock promotional activities for both the movies. While Shahid visited various schools to promote 'Paathshaala', Varma organised a digitally monitored scare dare contest for anyone who would watch 'Phoonk 2' alone in the movie hall - but in vain.

"The content for both the movies has been average. While 'Paathshaala' was good with around 50 percent occupancy over the weekend, 'Phoonk 2' wasn't that good enough with just 20 percent footfalls," Amit Awasthi, manager (programming and operations) of Spice Cinemas, told us.

"It was only Shahid Kapoor's presence that brought in the initial footfalls for 'Paathshaala,...

New Delhi, April 12 – ‘Commercialisation’ and ‘unethical practices’ related to the education system in the country are some of the issues that director Milind Ukey’s debut venture ‘Paathshaala’, which releases Friday, highlights as it takes a macro view of the issue.

Debut production of choreographer-turned-director Ahmad Khan, ‘Paathshaala’ stars Shahid Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Suniel Shetty and Ayesha Takia. Child actors like Swini Khare from ‘Cheeni Kum’, Ali Haji from ‘Fanaa’, Dwij Yadav from ‘Nanhe Jaisalmer’ and Avika Gor of ‘Balika Vadhu’ play pivotal roles in the movie.

Children's films without stars don't make it big at the box office and that's a prime reason why choreographer Ahmad Khan roped in Shahid Kapoor for his first production Paathshala. "If Shahid Kapoor wasn't in Paathshala, it could become a documentary. The film is so serious and it's so beautiful. But people wouldn't have gone and watched just a children's film even though it deals with a serious issue," Khan said in an interview. Shahid has a nearly 40-minute appearance in the film.
