Sujoy Ghosh’s Letter to Satyajit Ray (Photo Credit – Instagram/Twitter)

Indian filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh, who is well-known for directing terrific thrillers like Kahaani, Jaane Jaan, and Badla, took to his social media platform earlier today. In his X (Twitter) post, he recollected an old yet interesting incident from the year 1989 when he wrote to ‘The Apu Trilogy’ director Satyajit Ray asking for a job. He further confessed that in the letter, he wrote that he was willing to do any job provided he (Satyajit Ray) would teach me how to draw. Because he loved Ray’s illustrations and the stories he wrote and told.

Sujoy Ghosh’s First Rejection

Incredibly, Satyajit Ray was courteous and humble enough to send a reply to a stranger asking for a job. You can read the contents of the letter written by Satyajit Ray to Sujoy Ghosh here.

let me tell you a story of rejection.

Netflix might have just delivered a gift for cinema fans in the form of a Hitchcock collection, but it's also yet to make up for the horrible "The Electric State," its most expensive movie and the Russo brothers' worst. More in the way of Hitchcock compendiums might well help in that regard, but not if the streamer also keeps churning out things like the Indian heist thriller "Jewel Thief -- The Heist Begins."

Must-see actioner "Rrr" gained international attention in 2022, becoming a box office smash and even winning a Best Original Song Oscar. It then expanded its audience when it hit Netflix in the U.S., and ever since, there's been a steady stream of Indian actioners finding their way onto the streamer domestically. It should be noted that there's also been an array of decent offerings from the country. In 2023, for example, the Indian crime drama "Jaane Jaan" broke...

Iftda Abir Gulaal Protest(Photo Credit –Instagram)

The Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association (Iftda) has opposed the upcoming film Abir Gulaal, which stars Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and Bollywood’s Vaani Kapoor. The film was triggered after the recent Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu & Kashmir, which killed innocent people, mostly tourists. As the nation mourns, tempers are flaring, and the entertainment industry is being pulled into the eye of the storm.

Ashoke Pandit Speaks Out – “Working with Pakistani Artists Is Unacceptable”

Criticism intensified by casting Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in ‘Abir Gulaal‘ at this time when things were so dicey between India and Pakistan. Ashoke Pandit, who is the President of the Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association (Iftda), had no hesitation in using words to condemn it.

He told Hindustan Times, “This incident is an act of war against the nation. This isn’t the first time…these attacks have been ongoing for 30 years.

Is Fawad Khan still friends with Indian stars?(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Fawad Khan is one of the renowned names not only in the Pakistani film industry but also in the Hindi film industry. The actor marked his Bollywood debut in 2014 with the film Khoobsurat opposite Sonam Kapoor. Let’s look back at the time when Fawad Khan opened up on his relations and friendships with Indian stars.

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Fawad Khan recalled his good old memories of working with many stars and producers and revealed if he is still in touch with them.

Fawad shared, “I’m in touch on and off. Hamari baat ho jati hai kabhi chat pe and on phone, so I’ve been in touch, and I have enjoyed a very good relationship with Kapoor family, and there is still a lot of love and respect even with Karan and Shakun, so dosti hai,...

In an interesting development, the National Film Award-winning Indian actor Rajkummar Rao is now reportedly being considered to play the lead role in a biopic movie based on the well-known public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam. As per a report by Mid-Day, Rajkummar Rao is now the top choice to play the main role in Dinesh Vijan’s highly anticipated film.

Preliminary talks have been positive, but Raj is immersed in prep for Vikramaditya Motwane’s next, which is a physically and emotionally demanding script since he plays a sportsman. The dates will need to be worked out.”

Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor are undoubtedly one of the most successful on-screen pairs in Bollywood. But their romance once made more noise than their hit movies. Remember when Sonam Kapoor called the ‘Rk’ tattoo “scars of the battle” while the Animal actor called his ex-girlfriend brave? Scroll below for a blast from the past!

We all know Deepika had given her all in her relationship with Ranbir. Their romance blossomed while they were working together on Bachna Ae Haseeno. Things were going so well that the actress went on to get an ink dedicated to her then-boyfriend on the nape of her neck.

Before Jaideep Ahlawat and Kareena Kapoor Khan were cast in Sujoy Ghosh’s Jaane Jaan, Saif Ali Khan and Aishwarya Rai were considered to play the lead roles.

When Sujoy Ghosh’s mystery thriller film Jaane Jaan arrived directly on the Ott platform Netflix back in September 2023, it was received with widespread critical acclaim. The film featured Kareena Kapoor Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Vijay Varma in the main roles.

Akshay Kumar once warned Saif Ali Khan about Kareena Kapoor’s bold personality during Tashan shoot(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan are one of the royal couples of B’town. The duo fell in love on the sets of Tashan and tied the knot in October 2012. However, did you know that Akshay Kumar warned Saif Ali Khan against her?

In a conversation with Akshay Kumar’s wife, Twinkle Khanna, Bebo shared an interesting fact about her love life with Saif Ali Khan when they were shooting for Tashan and revealed the advice Akshay Kumar gave to Saif Ali Khan. The Jaane Jaan actress said, “Saif and Akshay were just talking, and Akshay just got the vibe that Saif and I were, like, connecting, and Akshay took Saif in the corner, and he was like ‘listen tread carefully, haan, because they are dangerous girls, and this is a dangerous family.

It’s a pity that Randhir Kapoor got trapped in the image of a happy-go-lucky awaraa-nalayak version of his father Raj Kapoor. There was so much more to him than the rumbustious ho-ho-ho blustering bumpkin’s image that he was stuck with. Part of the blame for not breaking out of that stereotype must go to Daboo, alias Randhir Kapoor. He loved to be perceived as a typical Kapoor: overweight foodie with a snappy sense of humour who didn’t care for the hit-or-flop cycle of the box-office. But Randhir had the chops, and he had the hits. Take a look.

1. Kal Aaj Aur Kal (1971):

This was quite a family affair: that is to say, Randhir’s family his grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor and father Raj Kapoor, played their real-life roles while his fiancé Babita played his girlfriend. This was Randhir’s debut as an actor and director, and he was promising.

Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan is stable in hospital after a knife attack at his home left him with multiple wounds.

The attack happened in the early hours of the morning in Mumbai, where he lives in an apartment with his wife, Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor Khan, and children. The 54-year-old reportedly sustained six knife wounds, one of which was close to his spine, and underwent emergency surgery.

Dr Nitin Dange of Lilavati Hospital told reports that the actor had “sustained a major injury to the thoracic spinal cord due to a lodged knife in the spine.”

The knife was removed and repairs were made to leaking spinal fluid. Two other “deep wounds” one on his left hand and one on his neck, were also repaired. His team have released a statement saying he is “out of danger.”

Reports say Khan had a scuffle with an unidentified man who had gained access to his home.

One of the great things about Netflix is that even as it contributes to the slow mediocritization of filmmaking, it continues to broaden our collective cultural horizons. Yes, for every Kevin Hart's "Lift," which inexplicably had Netflix viewers enraptured earlier this year, there's a foreign film or series that we'd otherwise never have a chance to see. Last year, Indian thriller "Jaane Jaan" topped the Netflix charts in the U.S. while Mexican series "Thursday's Widows" saw similar streaming success stateside.

Now, it's Spain's turn. The country has had a mixed record when it comes to its streaming exports. Last year, god awful Spanish slasher "Killer Book Club" somehow had the Netflix charts in a stranglehold, but the country somewhat redeemed itself with the Oscar-nominated "Society of the Snow," which hit Netflix in January 2024. Now, España has delivered yet another Netflix hit with "El Correo" or "The Courier."

Actor Jaideep Ahlawat, who is receiving a lot of acclaim for his work in the recently released streaming title ‘The Broken News 2’, shared that he has a WhatsApp group with fellow actors and longtime friends, Rajkummar Rao and Vijay Varma.

This WhatsApp group is called the ‘Majboot Actors Association’. The friendship between these actors dates back to their days as students at the Film and Television Institute of India (Ftii). The three of them graduated from Ftii in 2008.

While Vijay went down south to find work in the early phase of his career, Jaideep got his break with the Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Khatta Meetha’ in 2010. Rajkummar Rao, too, got the cult-classic film ‘Love Sex Aur Dhokha’ in 2010.

Vijay made noise in 2016 with the film ‘Pink’ in which he starred in a negative role. Later, he starred in ‘Gully Boy’, and established himself as one of the most sought-after actors in Hindi cinema.

Bollywood A-list actor Kareena Kapoor Khan has been appointed national ambassador for India by humanitarian organization Unicef.

Unicef has been operating in India for 75 years and Kapoor Khan has been serving as the org’s celebrity advocate since 2014. In her new role the actor will support Unicef India in furthering every child’s right to early childhood development, health, education and gender equality.

Speaking to Variety from Un House, Delhi, ahead of her signing on the ambassadorship, Kapoor Khan said, “When I reached out to them, I was wanting to work for them for child education, because it’s always been a topic that’s been very close to my heart and once I had the babies, my natural instinct was moving towards children’s rights.”

Kapoor Khan and her husband, the actor Saif Ali Khan, have two young children. “We always used to talk about the fact that how...

Mumbai, March 7 (Ians) In an industry where films have traditionally been scripted around men, and woman-centric films have been the exceptions rather than the rule, a new generation of directors and screenwriters have overturned the gender imbalance, and delivered successful films centred around female protagonists.

One of the benefits of Netflix and the streaming age in general is that audiences are being exposed to films and TV series from outside their own cultures. Last year, the Mexican limited series "Thursday's Widows" hit the Netflix top 10 in several countries, becoming the number three non-English TV series for the week of September 11 to September 17, 2023. But it was the Indian thriller "Jaane Jaan," which topped the Netflix charts worldwide back in September 2023, that had perhaps the most impressive Netflix run for a non-us film.

Becoming the most-watched non-English film on the streamer globally, with 8.1 million views for the week of September 18 to September 24, 2023, "Jaane Jaan" proved global Netflix viewers were not only willing to give films outside their own countries a go, but that these films could dominate viewing charts.
