  • A Minefield Of Mediocre Films, 1990s Have Little To Offer To Nostalgic Bollywood Stars
    A Minefield Of Mediocre Films, 1990s Have Little To Offer To Nostalgic Bollywood Stars
    Of all its decades, 1990s do appear to be replete with run-of-the-mill movies, with least number of all-time classics. It is amply illustrated by the fact that most of the favourite films chosen by the stars are in the range of mediocre-to-above average category, writes Giridhar Jha.

  • Brave Of Deepika Padukone To Take A Stand When Mum Is The Word For Big Bollywood Stars
    Brave Of Deepika Padukone To Take A Stand When Mum Is The Word For Big Bollywood Stars

  • Bollywood’s Double Whammy For Bald People Is Regressive, Not Cool
    Bollywood’s Double Whammy For Bald People Is Regressive, Not Cool
    It will be a pity if Ujda Chaman and Bala fall back upon the old, regressive tropes, fail to use healthy humour for disseminating a serious message and make even one bald person in the audience leave the theatre in disgust.

  • Govinda Does Not Deserve The Lampoon Over <em>Avatar</em> Claims
    Govinda Does Not Deserve The Lampoon Over Avatar Claims
    Sadly, the millennials mocking Govinda with contemptuous glee do not appear to know his contribution to Hindi cinema at a time when he has pretty much become irrelevant for them.

  • Salman Khan’s Fears Misplaced, No Reviewer Can Make Or Mar A Film Destined For Greatness
    Salman Khan’s Fears Misplaced, No Reviewer Can Make Or Mar A Film Destined For Greatness
    For the 53-year-old superstar, the viewpoint of a movie critic does not matter since it is always at variance with that of the audiences. Public acceptance is the ultimate verdict.

    Nitish Saw Modi Wave Coming, Made Amends In Time To Return To NDA
    Going by the astounding victory of the NDA in the just-concluded general elections, it seems that Nitish Kumar had taken a rather pragmatic step by walking out of the Mahagathbandhan at the right time.

    Brand Nitish Has To Compensate For The Absence Of Strong Candidates In JD-U

  • <em>Zero'</em>s Failure Should Not Dissuade Shahrukh Khan From Trying New Roles
    Zero's Failure Should Not Dissuade Shahrukh Khan From Trying New Roles
    The commercial loss of a few crores incurred on such films, if any, should not jolt either SRK's stature as a superstar or his multi-million empire. He can easily withstand a few knocks in his quest for quality cinema.

    Thugs Of Hindostan: Why is Aamir Khan Sorry? Nobody Is Infallible At The Box Office
    Hits and flops are an intrinsic part of the show business and an actor, howsoever big, has to take his flops in his stride. The Indian cinema history is replete with examples of the failure of good films, let alone the awful ones.

    Tejashwi Has To Tread With Tact, He Cannot Afford To Do A Lalu
    It would be a mistake on part of his opponents to take Lalu Prasad's junior son Tejashwi Yadav lightly given the fact that he is widely acknowledged to be a true inheritor of his father’s legacy, tainted or otherwise.

    The Fitness Of An Actress Is No Virtue To Be Extolled By Misogynistic Bollywood
