Applause Entertainment’s Zindaginama, an AntiMatter production, conceptualized by MPower is a six-tier anthology of stories on mental ailments on SonyLIV. It is a huge leap forward for cinema on the invisible disease. Mental issues are never taken seriously in our country.
“Tu pagal hai kya?” is a flippant mode of banter. This anthology gently points us towards the core issue and yet keeps us engrossed without preaching or, God forbid, screeching. The tone of almost all the six stories, directed by Sahaan Hattangadi, Mitakshara Kumar, Danny Mamik, Rakhee Sandilya, Aditya Sarpotdar and Sukriti Tyagi, is gentle, prodding, sometimes humorous, at times deeply disturbing.
My pick of the lot are Caged where two men, played by Sumeet Vyas and that brilliant young actor from Tumbbad, Mohammad Samad, help one another in discovering and acknowledging their sexual identity. It is a tough story to tell and hats off to Samad for...

Ms Alagh whom I’ve always found under-used, makes a comeback after ages as the wily Sheila Aunty, neighbour to an old lonely man played by Asrani (in a cameo) whom Sheila looks out for like all widowed aunties do. Or, so it seems. In the one sequence that they have together we can see some flirting and also some greed and covetousness creeping up onto the screen like a slithering snake slipping up a slumbering sleeve.

Amazon PrimeBased on true events, the story is about the Indian National Army which was formalised under the leadership of Subhash Chandra Bose.

The ALTBalaji's upcoming web series, directed by Karishma Kohli, will take the audience on the "crazy ride" of motherhood.

"She is the strongest mother of the show. She is a very powerful and intimidating character who most of the mothers are extremely scared of, except for Shilpa's (actress Shilpa Shukla) character," Sandhya said in a statement.

The entire country was in splits after a High Court Judge, Mahesh Sharma said that peacocks practice reproduction using a very strange medium of tears.

Have a look at some hilarious tweets from Bollywood: Sonakshi couldn't digest this super-duper information! Shararat actress Shruti Seth termed it a better analogy than Donald Trump's covfefe! Maybe Rajesh Khanna predicted the future way before? Jungle main mor nacha, kisne dekha? Vishal Dadlani found the video only suitable for adult audiences! This one is too funny! Peacock porn!

Watching Dharmendra in Second Hand Husband left me shaken and shocked. I was not able to review the movie, simply because there was nothing in the movie to write that was in anyway imaginative or worthy of this being called a motion picture. What stunned me into disbelief was the fact that Dharmendra was being ridiculed on screen.
Do we blame the director or the actor for picking up a role like this? When I mentioned this to an actor from the industry and my plight on the review, he responded, "What can be so worse than to have a film so wretched that it's not even worth a review."
Those few lines summed up the movie for me. Die-hard Dharam fans will vouch for the fact that he was better than even Rajesh Khanna and Dev Anand during his prime years. Why this now? I'm sure he can stay...

Bollywood has famously advocated loving fearlessly without any barriers and to facing any obstacles that appear.
For instance “Jab Pyar Kiya Tau Darna Kya” (Why be frightened if you are in love?) was evoked through Mughal-e-Azam(1960) .
Raj fearlessly pursued his Simran , regardless of having to face the fury of a traditional Indian father, from London to India in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995).
Karan Johar had introduced homosexuality on the Bollywood screen through Dostana(2008).
Although Dostana was set within a heterosexual framework, the film portrayed the message that sexuality is not a choice.
Dostana also depicted a traditional Indian mother accepting her gay son.
Just when it seemed that Lgbtq (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) rights in India were improving, the situation has extremely regressed.
On the 11th of December 2013, the Indian Supreme Court made the human right to love freely, subject and conditional to an archaic law: Section 377.

New Delhi, Sep 8: Actress-video jockey Shruti Seth says she gives preference to the people that she will work with more than the content of projects offered to her.
She has been part of shows like "Shararat", "Des Mein Niklla Hoga Chand" and "Kyun Hota Hai Pyarrr".
"For me, the people I work with is more important. Even if the content is good and the people that I will be working with are not good, then I will not accept the show," Shruti told Ians.
"It shouldn't be like I am working somewhere and the environment is not good and I feel 'Why the hell am I here'. While doing TV shows, an actor spends 14 to 16.

So we jump straight into My Friend Pinto and as far as the story goes, the main one [yes, there are more than one] is about Michael Pinto [Prateik Babbar], a Goan lad that has his world shaken up because his dear mother has passed away. So sad. But wait, there is a bright side. With no-one else to turn to, Pinto decides to go the big, bad city of Mumbai in search of his childhood friend Sameer urff(aka) Sam [Arjun Mathur]. Along the way, he saves the life of a Mallu Don [Makrand Deshpande], saves a dog that is given to said Don’s muse [Divya Dutta] but loses his wallet in the process, and basically becomes a magnet for trouble, all in one night. Throw in a few life lessons, a cute aspiring dancer/ladylove named Maggie [Kalki Koechlin] and a few songs and voila, you have a light hearted giggle-a-thon. Not exactly.
