Mumbai, Feb 21 (Ians) The just-released second season of the popular web series "Dev Dd" touches upon subjects like female foeticide and LGBTQ.

Lead actress Asheema Vardaan, who reprises her role as Devika in the show's second season, spilled the beans on the subject. She said: "This time the show is majorly taking about female foeticide and LGBTQ. The show talks about Queer Marriage which is an important topic to shine light on as queer people don't enjoy marriage rights that as their straight counterparts do. It's saddening to see that our law don't see straight couple and Queer couple the same which leads to social stigma and ostracisation."

It is adapted from Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's epic novel "Devdas" with a female perspective as Devika. The series gives an unconventional twist to the "Devdas" storyline with gender reversals.

The second season is more intriguing with its storyline, feels the actress. She...

The celebrated filmmaker and cartoonist Walt Disney once said, “Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.” Whatever background or class you belong to, we all love to relish in a Bollywood film now and again. It transports us in to a world we wish we were a part of, as well as exposing us to characters who we can relate to. So has 2014 been a good year for Bollywood? Well let’s just say there were a minority of good films that form part of a pile of disappointments. It’s not been an amazing year for the Hindi film industry, yet we feel that the films which have lived up to our expectations deserve its due recognition. So without further ado, here are the films that have made the final cut!

Drama

5. Mardaani – Director: Pradeep Sarkar. Producer: Aditya Chopra

Mardaani was not an amazing watch.

Note: List published by Ians (Indo-Asian News Service)

These films of 2014 deserved better and should have got a larger audience:

1. Ugly: A beautiful portrait of the darkest areas of the human heart, where greed, guilt and gluttony scamper freely for space. Anurag Kashyap’s film was swamped by the “Pk” wave that hit the theatres at year-end.

2. Aankhon Dekhi: Rajat Kapoor’s haunting portrait of a man on the brink of self-abnegation, looking for reasons to cling to the illusion called life, finding it increasingly hard to go through the motions of existence. Actor Sanjay Mishra’s ‘everyman’ act was exemplary.

3. Children Of War: Debutant director Mrityunjay Devrat recreated the horrors of the Bangladesh war of independence with the authentic passion of Spielberg’s “Schindler’s List”. As a brutal concentration camp officer, Pavan Malhotra was a dazzling embodiment of evil.

4. Sulemani Keeda: Amit Masurkar bitter-sweet tale...

This is one of our favorite songs and we hear Vidya Balan’s favorite on the Bobby Jasoos album. In fact our reviewer Sheetal Tiwari called it the crowning glory of the Ost. She wrote, “The duet features a contemporary waltz-like track crooned by Ghoshal with a classical track sung by Papon. The instrumental interludes are a beautiful fusion of both styles of music. It is a delightful composition with elegantly penned lyrics and a soulful melody at its core.”
