It was as if the show had been desecrated into small pieces, scattered throughout the room.
For the first time since the inception of the Lux Style Awards in 2002, the show was cut down to a ceremonial photo shoot, which also served as a platform for the media to …

Videsh (Heaven on Earth): Movie Review

Cast: Preity Zinta, Vansh Bhardwaj
Director: Deepa Mehta
Heaven on Earth isn’t exactly the plight of protagonist in this film, rather completely contrary to it. The alternate Hindi title Videsh is too generalized, misleading into the notion that Indian woman in NRI families are essentially victims of domestic violence, as is the theme of the film. It’s as difficult to relate with the titles (even on an sarcastic note), as impossible it is to connect with the treatment of this film (even after metaphorical decoding).
Apparently based on real-life events of …

I’ve always said that sexuality is a very private matter: Gul Panag

Do films like Straight challenge you as an actor where the scope to perform is minimal?
Every film, every role and every scene I do in films is a challenge. I don’t think I’ll be able to perform if I am constantly nervous or stressed.
It’s difficult to some extent playing a character which has a dominant driving emotion in films like Manorama or Dor. When there isn’t a particularly outstanding over bearing trait in her personality, such roles are much harder.
Much harder even to make these characters look real and normal …

13B had Madhavan spooked!

How was the experience of shooting for 13B?
It was great. It took seven years before Vikram (director Vikram Kumar) and I could get together to make a film. I was also tired of supernatural thrillers that relied more on sound effects than actual content to scare the audience. I wanted to do a film that sent chills down your spine, sort of like ‘Sixth Sense’. But this is better as it doesn’t show any ghosts but still manages to scare you.
This is also the first bilingual that I have shot …
