Pookutty shared the award with Ian Tapp and Richard Pryke. The then 37-year-old Pookutty was an unknown name in the country, but it was not to remain so after the Oscar.

But the highlight was when the then Left government led by V.S. Achuthanandan decided to give him a hero’s welcome and the person who was asked to head the welcoming committee was the then Culture Minister M.A. Baby, at present a Cpi-m politburo member.

And on that day in 2009, his tiny village in Kollam district – Anchal – woke up to welcome their dearest son.

Soon Pookutty became the most popular personality in Kerala and stories of his childhood and how he studied under a kerosene lamp and his daily walk to the school about 10 kms all became news.

Also written was how a bus checker’s son, the youngest of eight children, the hardworking Pookutty was able to rise to the highest level.

Masala days are here again. Theatre mein jao or citi bajao. If you are born and brought up by the massy Ott (over the top baba) entertaining cop v/s criminal drama, fascinated by the Bollywood’s underworld then Mumbai Saga is your ticket.

Actor Ravi Dubey is not a big fan of social media platforms. According to him, his productivity is reduced when he devotes too much his time to the internet.

"I feel every day that I have to disconnect from the social media world. Jaise ek sharabi ko sharab ki aadat lag jaati hai waise hi ab yeh social media ki kharab aadat lag chuki hai (I am addicted to social media just as an alcoholic is addicted to booze)."

"Also, I feel I am least productive when I am on social media. The social media time reduces my productivity. I am trying to spend less time on social media now. I have the intention to completely disconnect from the social media world, but it's become a necessary evil now," Ravi told Ians.

Ravi recently penned a poem titled "Aankde", which highlights the industry's obsession with box office numbers. During the lockdown,...

Films about encounters often commence with the investigation and a look into the lives of all those involved as they slowly build-up to the shootout. “Batla House” too seemed to go along this path before changing direction within seconds. The film is a fictionalized recreation based on real-life events. It focuses on the life of one policeman as he deals with the aftermath of an encounter.

Written by Ritesh Shah, “Batla House” strives to prove that popular public opinions labeling it as a fake encounter are false. The term public opinion and people’s court driving media and politicians are explored in this film. There is a scene in the court about how the chief justice says that particular comments will be struck from the record. But we begin to think. Does it matter? The comments have been heard and are out there and form part of the public opinion.

Independence Day means a lot of things to a lot of people. For the new film Batla House, it means standing up for yourself, knowing that even when a system and people may be against you, the truth will always ring out. A controversial story based on an Encounter team Operation of the same name back in 2008, the film is led by Independence Day specialist John Abraham and given a female lead by Mrunal Thakur (Super 30). Musically, Satyameva Jayate this time last year provided a window into what to expect, with one superhit remake and a love song that lingered in the charts well down the months. Rochak Kohli and Taniskh Bagchi are back for this one, so listeners can look forward to more of the same in this short, punchy album.

When Taniskh Bagchi and Neha Kakkar get together a remake is on the cards… so for the first...

Rakesh Roshan is the man who is the creator of Krrish franchise and has delivered entertainers like Karan Arjun, Khoon Bhari Maang and Khudgarz amongst others.

Sanjay Gupta is the man who has been one of the most tech savvy filmmakers around and knows his men, as apparent in macho entertainers like Kaante, Zinda, Musafir and Shootout franchises.

No wonder, when the two decided to join hands for Kaabil with Hrithik Roshan in the lead, it was pretty much on the cards that the film would bring in the right mix of emotions, style and performances.

“I have been a huge fan of Sanjay and have been interacting with him for last two-three years. He used to discuss quite a few subjects with me and I was looking forward to work with him since he is superb when it comes to technically mounting a film,” says Rakesh Roshan, “When he...

Ever since this film was announced, the hype surrounding Jazbaa has been almost surreal. The film sees director Sanjay Gupta (Shootout at Lokhandwala, Kaante, Musafir) working with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the first time with a stellar cast of national award winning actors Irrfan Khan and Shabana Azmi. Jazbaa is an action thriller with a hard hitting storyline. Its soundtrack is however, is very soothing to the ears with songs that are not over the top at all. Jazbaa is not the kind of film that would rely on music to influence its plot/storyline. It is a thriller and often with these kind of films we hear fast paced/dramatic songs but in the case of Jazbaa, the music is totally the opposite.

‘Bandeya’ is the first song that released from the album and from the promo itself, one could tell that the song would...

After Sanjay Dutt returned from Pune’s Yerwada jail to his Bandra residence this week on parole for a month, his near and dear friends have started meeting him. Yesterday, Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Sanjay Gupta who have worked with Sanjay in past, gave a visit to his residence to meet.

Sanjay who was looking happy and quite emotional as well, hugged both the filmmakers in his own Jaadu Ki Jhappi style. Sanjay’s wife Manyata Dutt was also present there and posed for the media.

Film lyricist Anand Bakshi is regarded as the most successful Indian film lyricist having written 4000 songs in a career ranging 45 years. A look at his work reveals his mastery over his art. Remember Chingari Koi Bhadke....(Amar Prem), Hum Tum Ek Kamre Mein Bandh Ho...(Bobby), Teri Pehli Nazar Ko Salaam... (Ek Duje Ke Liye), Tujhe Dekha To...(Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge) etc.

Anand Bakshi was a master of penning lyrics, within minutes, he could write to the tunes of music directors and in the process many a times he would cram mindless words like Dum Maro Dum...., Achcha To Hum Chalte Hain....Mere Jeevan Sathi Pyar Kiye Ja... etc incidentally the songs would prove hit.

One such song that he set to the tune of Laxmikant-Pyarelal was for the movie Amir Garib (1974) staring Dev Anand and Hema Malani. The song was Baith Ja Baith Gayi, Khadi Ho Ja Khadi...

After Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son of Sardaar have battled it out theatres, we can now shift gears and return to that ‘other’ hugely awaited gem Dabangg 2! The anticipation has always been there, but the promotions have been lying low until the teaser trailer and “Dagabaaz Re” were released last week. Our lovable rogue Chulbul Pandey is back, fighting off more villains and romancing his wife Rajo (Sonakshi Sinha). The promos have increasingly been impressive, with Sajid and Wajid back as music directors for this huge film.

After winning the coveted title of Gladrags Mega Model in 2002, after which she fell on the lap of Ram Gopal Varma and got a role in “Road”. But in was two years later in 2004 “Musafir” which made Koena Mitra an instant hit chick throughout the nation.

Soon after she decided to go under knife, reasons unknown! And after that her Bollywood career almost sank! However she has got a Hollywood project by Michael Hershel “The Story Of Naomi”.

From her appearance in Pankaj Udhas' music video Aahista to becoming a big name in Bollywood and South movies, Sameera has proved that she is not just a stunner, but also a good actor.

After a year of planning, writing and battling casting hassles, Shootout At Wadala was finally launched yesterday with a launch event that was attended by the entire cast. While Ekta Kapoor is gung ho about the prospects of this gangsters v/s cops film, co-producer and director Sanjay Gupta is also heaving a sigh of relief that he is getting behind the camera more than half a decade after Zinda. No wonder, he can be heard singing praises about his lead protagonist Anil Kapoor and antagonist John Abraham who stayed by him even though others came and went. "It was more than a year ago when Sanjay had approached Anil Kapoor and John Abraham to play a top cop and gangster respectively. Even though they hadn't formally signed on the dotted line, there was a gentleman's agreement about doing the film", says a source close to Sanjay Gupta, "In fact when Sanjay approached Anil,...

In what can easily be deemed the funniest Koffee with Karan episode, Anil Kapoor came out to claim that Sanjay Dutt is in fact his senior. The duo joined Karan Johar on the couch as they spoke all things movies and No Problem, their movie that released this past Friday. The buddies, who didn't work together for the first time until much later in Musafir, bared their souls as they spoke about being fathers, acting and working in the industry.

Anil said he found having a daughter in the industry "great but stressful" referring to Sonam Kapoor of course. New Dad Sanjay, spoke at length about being a father all over again and his relationship with strayed daughter Trishala.

Sameera Reddy has been one of the few actresses who are known for their sizzling acts done with a certain polish and finesse. However, when she did films like Plan or Musafir, quite a few felt that she was being bold. Today the scenario has changed when being bold is not a taboo any more. Does she ever look back and feel that it was so amusing in the past when people felt so? "Thank God it is not a taboo anymore", laughs Sameera, "I was one of the first few people in the indust...

No make-up, no trendy clothes -- Sameera Reddy has got rid of her glamour girl image for the forthcoming movie 'Red Alert-The War Within'. And she admits that before signing the film she wasn't aware of the Maoist problem in the country.'The script was really appealing since it dealt with an issue. I was not aware of the Naxalite movement a-year-and-a-half ago. I want to dedicate myself towards it now,' Sameera, 27, told Ians.Even though she didn't want to miss the chance of doing a different role, Sameera had to face many difficulties during the shooting.'A transition from a simple girl to a Naxalite and picking up guns and fighting was difficult. It was also not easy to shoot in the jungles,' she said.Director Anant Mahadevan's 'Red Alert-The War Within' revolves around a cook, who falls into the Naxalite net. The film...

In her 8 year long career, Sameera Reddy has been seen in only 10 Hindi films. Now that's quite a miniscule number for an actress who showed quite some promise when she started off and has always been known for her immense sex appeal and ability to make heads turn. One wonders what made her so choosy about the films that she does when she could have signed quite a few projects in a flurry."That's because I have never ever done films where it is necessary for me to show that 'hey, I am here so look at me'", says Sameera who was last seen in De Dana Dan, "Offers do come for all actors but then it is up to you that what do you pick and choose.

Sanjay Gupta is assured that there won't be any roadblocks in the journey that he has taken towards remaking the Spanish film Ladron Que Roba A Ladron. Though Maroos from Shemaroo too have their eyes set on this action thriller which is on the lines of Oceans series and have made their intentions clear about remaking this film with director duo of Abbas-Mustan, Gupta is amused at the very thought of it. Reason being that his company White Feathers has officially procured rights to the film while Shemaroo (apparently) doesn't have any legal right around remaking the film. "I guess this is very preposterous on the part of Shemaroo to be making a statement that they will make this film instead of me doing it", smiles Gupta, "I am not bothered with what they have to say because I have been negotiating with the makers of this Spanish film for over 6-7 months now.

In Bollywood, Koena Mitra has made her own place with diverse kind of films.

"Ever since I was a 3 year old kid, I started taking training in dance. I have been trained in four different kinds of dance forms and have extensively worked with Mamta Shankar.s dance troupe. I have learnt Indian ballet classical as well as a contemporary dance form. Also, while street hip-hop is something which is getting popular today,...

Name Koena Mitra and the image that comes is mind is a sensual young woman who has sizzled in films like 'Musafir', 'Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena' and 'Apna Sapna Money Money'.

Sameera Reddy became an epitome of oomph when she pulled all stops in Sanjay Gupta’s ‘Musafir’. Ever since then she has featured in variety of roles and worked across different genres. As she gears up for the release of yet another comedy of hers, ‘De Dana Dan’, Sameera blasts the entire myth around Size Zero and skinny bodies.

Today, when every second new entrant is aspiring to be a Size Zero, is she too aspiring for a different body shape? Or is she content with the way she is currently exuding the oomph factor?

It was way back in 2004 that Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt were seen together in Sanjay Gupta directed ‘Musafir’. While Anil Kapoor was the lead protagonist of the film while being paired opposite Sameera Reddy, Sanjay Dutt was the ‘friendly’ villain of the piece and made sure that there was trouble in sight whenever he encountered Anil Kapoor.

The film was a success and it was rather surprising that the two veteran actors were not seen sharing screen space again over last five years. Well, finally the wait is over as.

Sameera Reddy’s been trying hard to find a footing in Bollywood. But neither romantic heroine roles( ‘Maine Dil Tujhko Diya’) or glam doll roles(like ‘Musafir’) worked for her.

She then turned towards meaningful cinema with talented Bengali director Buddhadeb Dasgupta’s ‘Kalpurush’. The film got critical acclaim but stardom still continues to elude Sameera. Even item songs and an occasional ‘Taxi Number 9211′ did nothing for her.

But the girl’s not giving up yet. Now she’s playing the role of a rustic Rajasthani woman in Nagesh.

One simply wonders as to what's up with today's date. We feel that it has to be sheer mystical magic that must have blessed the calendar on this date. How else do you explain the supersonic coincidence of two Bong-shells sharing their Birthday on this date! The first is Bipasha Basu and the second is none other than Koena Mitra. Life was never the same for the Koena girl, who, after winning the prestigious Gladrags Mega Model Hunt, went onto reach dizzying heights. She first said 'I do' to the Bollywood cameras with her smash hit item number 'Khullam Khulla' in the film Road. Post that, she went onto do full fledged heroine role and which escalated her career on an all time high! A sample list of films which made her as one of the topmost contenders for the Numero Uno spot in the film land include the likes of Anamika,...
