It’s a false binary to pit foreign banks against home grown banks

The Dark Horse

He is one of the rarest actors, not contending to be in the ruthless rat-race. Quite unlike the others, he’s treading his own path. In today’s media-savvy day and age, he only believes in letting his work do the talking. He says his only competition is ‘the Sun’. After having carved a niche for himself in the action department,VIDYUT JAMMWAL is rigorously gearing up for his upcoming releases.​Pooja Sharma meets the ‘tough as steel’ actor for a candid conversation.

Nargis Fakhiri: 'Looks Wise, I Like Salman Khan'

Before the news of Nargis Fakhri’s vanishing act appeared, Pooja Sharma met the actress at a suburban hotel, in the midst of film Azhar’s promotions. Contrary to the speculations of a nervous breakdown owing to a failed relationship and rejection, the actress seemed completely normal; acting, bantering and gesticulating - she engages in all of it while she is being interviewed. She says the most unexpected things, laughs without fear, and is an independent spirit, difficult to pin down. Dressed in an orange top and a cutesy white skirt, the animated and effervescent actress sat down for a no-holds-barred conversation.

Living the Aftermath

It’s that phase in Bollywood when our actors are branching out and trying their hand at world cinema, but for FRIEDA PINTO, this isn’t new. She has been there, done that, and how! She started her career almost a decade ago and has been part of some of noteworthy films like Immortals and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. In a candid conversation with Shravan Shah, Frieda talks about Hollywood, Bollywood, and everything in between.

Karisma Kapoor Gives it Back

Just 16 and already a sensation. Just one film old and still ranked first on the industry hate-list. Pooja Bhatt hates her. Raveena Tandon accused her of ganging up with Salman against her. Manisha Koirala calls her a mixed-up kid. The list could go on and on… Only, little Lolo could take it no more. “Why are they gunning for me? What have I done?” She begged to know. And we let her have her say. In this COURT MARTIAL, she blew all her rivals to smithereens. Then, like a cub tigress who’d just gulped her prey, she smiled. “They asked for it.” That’s KARISMA KAPOOR for you.

Ileana D'cruz: 'I don't know anything about MS Dhoni'

There are rare times when you meet actors who speak their hearts out. Usually actors are busy shooting continuously or at other times, ‘taking their time off’. So when I met this diva, the first question that popped up was her disappearance from 70mm for almost two years now. Whilst actors cover up their absences with sugar coating, Ileana D’cruz comes out honest, saying that the offers that came her way weren’t exciting. She had already proved her acting chops with her debut film Barfi! She may not have a lot going on in reel life, but in real life, the actress has refused a series of offers, from Special 26 to MS Dhoni: The Untold Story. But the actress doesn’t regret anything. In a candid conversation with Shravan Shah, Ileana talks about Rustom, her latest hit at the Box Office, and unfolds her greatest fears and victories which make her the talk of the town.

Bomb Shell Buzzing!

I met RITU SHIVPURI (she looked like a bomb) of the old Aankhen fame, at a party some months ago and spent the better part of the evening calling her by some other name altogether, blame it on the copious amounts of wine sloshing around in my bloodstream (that rendered me bombed). She was too polite and didn’t bat an eyelid. Considering we’d known each other in her previous life, I thought it was mighty gracious of her to ignore my shenanigans. Some days later, she called and was surprised to realise that I had not been so far gone, but had actually saved her number. We met again over a couple of awesome lunches, and spent precious time shooting the breeze. Haute cuisine, hot chit-chat, happening cinema and hoots of laughter made for the funnest afternoons spent in a long while. It’s good to have Ritu back in filmdom. And she looks like a million bucks yet

Sultan​​​​​​​ Changed The Way People Looked At Me As An Actor

After having earned accolades for his impressive performance in ‘Kai Po Che’, Amit Sadh managed to do a spree of films that failed to cater to the audience, something the talented actor wouldn’t have really desired. While this may have derailed any other actor trying to make his mark in Bollywood, Amit, the determined person he is, continued to nurture his craft and it is that hard work that paid off for him in big banner films like Sultan and Sarkar 3 and made him receptive to the much deserved love from the audience and critics. And now, the man is all set to make a fresh mark with his upcoming film Gold with Khiladi Kumar aka Akshay Kumar. In an exclusive conversation with Subhojit Ghosh, Amit talks about his life, people, films, future plans and a lot more.

Why Was Raai Laxmi Not A Part Of Ms Dhoni's Biopic?

Dearest Delight

She is honest to herself and her craft, that’s the only mantra GAURI SHINDE invests in, the finest of her energies on 70mm to impress the viewers. Her journey from an ad-film director to a filmmaker clearly embodies the phrase ‘One Woman Show’. In this opinionated chat with Gayatri Nirmal, the director speaks about her equation with her renowned husband and filmmaker R Balki, and her zeal for narrating interesting stories. It is impressive to watch this illusionist carve a niche for herself.

Do You Believe That Tiger Shroff Is Jackie Shroff's Son?

On a serene evening, I walked into the lavish office of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, located on the 17th floor of a posh suburban building. Baaghi posters were everywhere, I felt I had been teleported to a different world altogether. In the midst of this, I saw the actor assisted by his bodyguard, going in and out of rooms, and I figured he was busy shuffling between interviews without making journalists wait. I waited my turn and was soon escorted into a small conference room. I sat opposite the actor, who greeted me with a warm smile. Beginning my interrogation, (this is the second time I was interacting with the actor), I must say that things had changed a bit. The actor who was carefree back then, today, came across as someone well polished and ready to set the pace. What hadn’t changed was his intrinsic honesty, and that is all that matters in the end. Just two films old in the industry, the fan following he has is enormous. After all, he has been a face of his idol Hrithik Roshan’s brand, and with the recent video that went viral (where the actor mimicked Hrithik’s dance moves), the audiences believe that he is a direct dance descendent of the Roshan. Tiger Shroff has come a long way with his dance moves, stunts and more importantly, his goal to enter Bollywood and carve a niche for himself.

Pride Of The Jungle

Ranveer Singh ruled the Box Office in the last cinematic year, playing the title role of the Maratha Peshwa Bajirao, in ace director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s grandiose magnum opus Bajirao Mastani. His shaved head and luxuriant long moustache had become his style statement for a whole year whilst he shot for the film. And that was a year that saw him making his presence felt in a big way. Commercials, awards, relationship goals, Ranveer has been hard at it and giving it his all. Little wonder then that he soared up the charts in tinsel town, both in terms of his credibility as an actor, his public image, as well as earned himself brownie points for being the most devoted boyfriend in Bollywood (to his lady love, the exquisite Deepika Padukone). Yes, Ranveer wore his heart on his sleeve the whole time, something only brave-hearts would do. And of course, he swept the awards season across events, to walk away with prized trophies and statuettes of all sizes and shapes.

Unfinished Love Story

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who fell in love with the prince. They spent some time in love but didn’t live together happily ever after. This is quite the occurance with many star-crossed love birds in Bollywood too. In B’town, many celebrity couples are splitting for a number of reasons. Though actors and actresses are experimenting with roles and characters that stretch them beyond themselves, towards better performances, and even excel in them, they are still not seeing the same kind of success when it comes to sustaining relationships with their loved ones. Yes, there are many factors that come into play and claim relationships as casualties. The last year has not been easy nor lucky for some duos, whether in marriage or in love. Suguna Sundaram and Pooja Acharya lists some of the more famous uncouplings in the industry.
