The movie starts in a different manner unlike others, which depicts the suffering of the hero in his jail tenure in forms of sketches. By seeing that one comes to know how much the poor chap had suffered and is filled with utmost hatred with the person who had put him behind the bars.

She is a filmmaker with a degree in theatre and religion from Mount Holyoke college in New York. She works out of offices in New York City, Santa Fe, and Lahore. Her goal is to create dialogue through the movies she produces, both within the Muslim world, internationally and especially the USA. Her first feature length film, Kashf is set to hit theatres nationwide on the 15th of December.

Imran Khan has changed his image in his second film.

Says the nervous second-timer, “After Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, Kidnap was the first script that I actually liked. I decided on doing it instinctively. And I’ve a completely different role from what I did in Jaane Tu…I admit Sanjay Dutt has a bigger part in my next release Kidnap.

And rightly so. He’s a much bigger star than me and obviously the focus would be on him. I am thrilled with my part in Kidnap. Incidentally Sanjay Dutt is also my co-star in Luck. Apparently there’s some kind of a mysterious link between the two of us.”

Mumbai (PTI): The indefinite strike called by Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) entered the third day on Friday with bodies of workers and producers holding negotiations to thrash out the differences.

Yashraj, Mehboob, Filmistan, Film City and other studios continued to remain shut. Shooting of daily soaps has been the worst hit. FWICE, which has over 1.5 lakh members in 22 unions covering different crafts of the film industry, are demanding stipulated wages on time and regulated working hours. They are also opposing producers, hiring workers who do not belong to any of the unions.

Split Image Pictures brings together Bollywood and Hollywood to creat India’s first creature - feature film with the most stunning, never-before seen effects.

After contemplating and varying on a lot of working titles, the Bollywood-Hollywood film starring Mallika Sherwat and Irfan Khan will now be officially called ‘Hissss’. Produced by Vikram Singh & Govind Menon of Split Image Pictures & Directed by renowned Hollywood director Jennifer Lynch, the movie has been in news lately for its interesting amalgamation of top technicians of the west and the superstars of our Bollywood industry.

Your man should be…
What he is, nothing more, nothing less.

One must-have quality in him?
Honesty. I cannot tolerate lies and deceit.

His profession?
Does that really matter? Till the time he loves me, it is okay if he is into business, job or something else (laughs). Maybe I am saying all this because he is from outside the film industry and we are very happy together!

Brainy or brawny?
Definitely brainy because it’s only brain which makes one successful. Brawny people are mostly dumb.

His beauty for you would be?
Spiritual. I am heavily into spirituality and don’t believe in either inner or outer beauty.

Katrina Kaif seems to be riding the crest of a bright new wave of success. The things have been happening to her career within just a matter of time, sometimes surrounding like a fairytale coming true.

She has given six blockbusters back to back in the recent times and as a result she has been signing some of the very best films. The actress seems to have her kitty full of projects and directors and actors are just dying to work with her. If the latest hearsay is something to go by then the actress has apparently bagged the lead role in a film which will be directed by the eternal romantic filmmaker of the Indian silver screen, Yash Chopra.

‘1920′ has clicked and quite a few detractors in the industry are left wondering about the reason behind the film’s success. After all the film had Vikram Bhatt tag to it, the name which had seen 10 consecutive flops to his name in last 6 years. The film only featured newcomers, who were neither star-children nor heavily hyped. Adnan Sami’s music hardly did wonders to the film’s pre-release hype while the Ramzan/Ganesh Chaturthi period was hardly considered to be conducive to a film’s theatrical run.

So what really worked in the film’s favor? One basic thing - Smart packaging!

The film, ‘The Last Lear’ has a good performance of Amitabh Bachchan who tries to play a man who worked long in Shakespearian Theater and he starts living in the Shakespearian stories only. His skills in theatre is exploited by a movie director as he is called to perform a role in modern cinema. The actor is left with fatal injuries after the shoot. The film tries to say that cinema as a medium is less powerful and unrealistic, when compared to stage.

Ru-Ba-Ru is a Hindi version of Hollywood’s ‘If Only’ (2004; Jennifer Love Hewitt and Paul Nicholls).

Being made as a modern urban love story, Randeep Hooda and Shahana Goswami are the lead characters who are madly in love with each other yet find each other’s attitudes and ways of leading life clashing and creating a rift which they never expected.
