Plot Synopsis of the Movie Prince and Family

Talking about the plot of the movie Prince and Family, then the movie centres around the life of a Prince who is not only shy but an introverted person bridal boutique owner.

In another excellent installment of Subhash K Jha’s This Day That Year feature the spotlight is turned to revisiting Meenaxi: A Tale Of 3 Cities, the 2004 M. F. Husain directed film that starred Tabu.

Madhuri Dixit was not the only muse in legendary painter M F Husain’s life. After he directed Gaja Gamini as a homage to Dixit’s beauty, he directed Meenaxi: A Tale Of 3 Cities which turned 21 on April 2.

Husain Saab cast the then-incandescent Tabu in three roles: Meenaxi, Tanu, and Tabu, each set in a different city: Hyderabad, Jaisalmer, and Prague.

Though far less inaccessible for the viewer than Gaja Gamini (Naseeruddin Shah tells me to let him know when I know what that was all about), Meenaxi nonetheless suffered from bouts of incurable esotericism.

Tabu may not be as graceful and nimble-footed as Madhuri Dixit. But she carried the weight of the film’s basic debate on art,...

Actresses and their importance in Tfi are as good as props in the scene; they exist in the film, but are they creating an impact on the audience and bringing audiences to theatres for being eye candy and dancing divas? Yes, but do they have a memorable role? Not.

The recall value of heroines is scarce compared to the superstars they work opposite. We rarely remember actresses like Sridevi, Soundarya, Savitri, Ramya Krishnan, and now probably Anushka Shetty’s roles as being impactful.

Producers provide and pay for the artists’ accommodation, food, and other expenses, which are already known. But many are now taking this as an advantage. These actors ask only for five-star hotels, and it is said that they do not cooperate or are open to any adjustments.

The study was conducted in 31 stroke centres across the country.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in India. After a stroke, about 15 to 20 per cent of the patients develop another stroke (recurrence). Discontinuing medicines, lack of control over blood pressure, blood sugar, continued smoking, alcohol intake and following unhealthy food habits are the main reasons for recurrence.

There are two types of stroke – ischemic, when there is a blockage in one of the brain arteries; and brain hemorrhage, when there is rupture and leakage of one of the arteries which supplies blood to the brain. High blood pressure is the number one cause of ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes.

The trial was conducted by Sprint-India (Secondary Prevention by Structured Semi-Interactive Stroke Prevention Package) under Icmr’s Indian Stroke Clinical Trial Network (INSTRuCT) of stroke-ready centres in India, one of its kind in developing countries and the...

These films, a genre in itself, were typically about a wealthy feudal lord from the Rayalaseema region reigning over the area he occupies, where the rule of law or democracy does not exist. On the hero’s land, decisions are made through over-the-top action sequences and gory violence. The ‘bad guys’ would be of the same caste as the protagonist, and do the same things as the hero.
