Tusshar Kapoor, Sunny Leone, and Vir Das in Mastizaade (2016)
Mastizaade refused certification by the Tribunal
Tusshar Kapoor, Sunny Leone, and Vir Das in Mastizaade (2016)
After being banned by the Examining Committee and the Revising Committee, the new Sunny Leone starrer Mastizaade directed by Milap Zaveri has now been refused certification by the Tribunal. This is a rare snub for a film. The notification from the Tribunal (of which we have a copy) reads, "There is no redeeming feature of any sort in the film. The film is only concerned with the exploration of the different parts of the human anatomy, both male and female, and is such as to deprave the minds of the audience. We are thus constrained to hold that. Freedom of expression cannot and should not be interpreted as a license for the cine-magnates to make huge sums of money by pandering to shoddy and vulgar tastes." Says a source from the censor board, "Mastizaade was denied certification by the EC, the Rc and now the Tribunal. The producers have no...

Sunny-Arshad to regenerate Sanju-Arshad chemistry in Bhaiyaaji Superhit
Even though Sunny Deol and Arshad Warsi have earlier come together in Jaani Dushman, this Rajkumar Kohli film had a dozen odd other actors including Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty amongst others. Now while Bhaiyaaji Superhit also features Tusshar Kapoor in a key role, it is the Sunny-Arshad chemistry that is being designed to surpass the magic that was created by Sanju-Arshad in the past. "Yes, in fact even Arshad was of view that since he has made a good pairing with Sanjay Du...

The Ghosts and Ghouls of Bollywood
From reincarnations to haunted mansions. From vindictive oatmeal faced corpses to shape shifting nagins, Bollywood has bravely offered a plethora of films in the name of horror over the years. Although many of these films may lack in finesse, they still manage to offer some scares (along with a bag of laughs). Siddhant Pillai investigates…

Golden Age of Horror; 1940s-1960s

A still from the classic Mahal

In a country obsessed with lost souls and reincarnation, it was natural for filmmakers to dabble in this facet of the supernatural. Perhaps the first path breaking film in this genre was Kamal Amrohi?s 1949 hit, Mahal. The film was replete with a spooky house filled with life size portraits, grandfather clocks, swinging crystal chandeliers and a haunting tune (Aayega Aanewaala) carried by the air and sung by an elusive candle-lit lady. The movie was a box office hit and paved the way...

Akshay says no to Vashu Bhagnani’s Faltu
Akshay Kumar
October 7, 2010: Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is known to be a professional when it comes to money but he surprised everyone by denying a lucrative offer from producer Vashu Bhagnani. The producer has reportedly offered the star a whopping amount of Rs 15 crore for starring in his upcoming movie titled Faltu. Bhagnani is trying by all means to revive the career of his son Jackky Bhagnani. He is following the path of veteran filmmaker Raj Kumar Kohli, who used to cast all the leading heroes in his films to boost the career of his son Armaan Kohli. Now, Vashu is following the same path.

Akshay was offered this huge amount of Rs 15 crore only to work for 10 days in Bhagnani’s Faltu, which will star his son Jacky. But.
