Wuthering Heights Emily Bronte
Plot Heathcliff and Catherine love each other madly, but can’t marry. So Heathcliff makes life hell for everyone.
So? Haunting love story, dissection of passion—both wild and refined, of social class, nature vs culture.
Be A Know-All In a preface to the book, Emily’s sister Charlotte, author of Jane Eyre, wrote: "Whether it is right...to create beings like Heathcliff, I do not know. I scarcely think it is."

King On Imax
There are less than 3,000 Royal Bengal Tigers left in the wild today. Given that most 2-minute public awareness films haven’t conveyed anything meaningful about this king of the jungle, here’s a 210-mm film that could change the fate of this majestic beast. Seeing this great cat, with it’s 500-pound frame magnified three times, hearing its heart-wrenching roar, digitally enhanced for added effect might just make you sit up and take notice. It’s time youdid.
India-Kingdom of the Tiger is the first IMAX film made in India. Directed by Bruce Neibaur, this 40-minute film was screened at Prasad’s imax theatre in Hyderabad on March 19, after being shown across the world. Touted as the theatre with the world’s largest screen (72 feet long, and 93 wide), Prasad’s dominatrix viewing experience, which entertains 630 people
at a time, will open for regular shows by the end of April.
Starring Smriti Mishra and Christopher Hyerdahl, Kingdom has Jim Corbett (Hyerdahl) struggling to save a village from the legendary man-eater of Kumaon. The tiger tale, made with a $5 million budget, has music by Michael Brook, Shujaat Khan and Rahat Ali Khan (nephew of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan). Costumes are by Bhanu Athaiya. Don’t miss the supra-story about how old man Corbett, a tiger hunter, turned into a conservationist.

Bossa Nova?
Escape from rock and roll. To this Brazilian dance sound that hit big time after its marriage to the cool jazz of the 1950s. Intimate, soft and controlled, a new romantic sound was born from Latino rhythms and American jazz. Antonio Carlos Jobim is a Bossa Nova big daddy, while "Girl from Ipanema" is a bossa-classico.
