All in one knowledge

One of the advantages of having direct OTT releases was that the films would be free of censorship. Hence, expletives and intimate scenes were shown freely without haphazard cuts. But now with Khaali Peeli releasing not just online but also in drive-in cinemas in Bengaluru and Gurugram, getting the censor certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) became mandatory for the makers. And unfortunately, the Ishaan Khatter-Ananya Panday starrer has faced several cuts, a few of them being laughable. As per the cut list, the ‘sensuous and explicit’ visuals in the song 'Tehas Nehas' have been removed. Two scenes of Choksi Seth (Swananad Kirkire) staring lecherously at Pooja (Ananya Panday) have been removed and also the vulgar-induced dialogues in these sequences. Other dialogues to have been snipped from the final cuts are ‘Saale nalla hai tu. Fattu hai’ , ‘Dus saal ta k virgin raha ; hold karke baitha tha’ , ‘virgin bhramachari ’ and ‘ harami ’. ‘ Tichya Aaila...

Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much - this maxim perhaps best describes the Bellbottom journey from start to finish. A schedule that began as an impossibility has culminated into a storybook ending that has put the Hindi film industry right on the global map. "It's teamwork and I am grateful to each and every member of the cast and crew from the spot dadas to the light dadas to the technicians to the make-up dadas to my lovely heroines Vaani, Lara, Huma, my director Ranjit and to Vashuji and the production team who believed in our audacious plan. The new normal has made us realise a different way of working that none of us could have imagined. I hope this encourages film industries globally to do what they do best and start entertaining audiences again. I hope our shoot during the pandemic reassures others that keeping all safety in mind it’s time to get things moving again.” says Akshay Kumar as the film completed its start-to-finish schedule making it th...

The death case of Sushant Singh Rajput is still being investigated and the autopsy and viscera reports are being re-examined by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences along with the Central Forensic Science Laboratory. The Central Bureau of Investigations’ team had also recreated the scene from June 14 in Sushant Singh Rajput’s Bandra apartment where he was found dead on June 14. So far the team has not seen any evidence of a foul play with the reports. If the reports are to be believed, then the scientist from CFSL who has been in on the case has said that there are no signs of murder so far. The ligature marks on the neck suggest that he died by hanging, a V-shaped mark has been seen on autopsy photos of the late actor’s neck left by the noose on the body by being suspended from a point above. The scientist also said that he has visited Sushant’s house twice and there are no signs of murder as of now. Clearing the doubts of the space being insufficient for his body to hang, t...

In her Instagram post, Suhana wrote, “There’s a lot going on right now and this is one of the issues we need to fix!! this isn’t just about me, it’s about every young girl/boy who has grown up feeling inferior for absolutely no reason. Here are just a few of the comments made about my appearance. I’ve been told I’m ugly because of my skin tone, by full-grown men and women, since I was 12 years old.” “Other than the fact that these are actual adults, what’s sad is that we are all Indian, which automatically makes us brown - yes we come in different shades but no matter how much you try to distance yourself from the melanin, you just can’t. Hating on your own people just means that you are painfully insecure,” she further wrote. She...

उत्तर प्रदेश की ऐतिहासिक राजधानी लखनऊ में अपने साहस के दम पर अभी तक 75,000 से ज्यादा लड़कियों को सेल्फ डिफेंस की ट्रेनिंग देने वाली उषा विश्वकर्मा आज महिलाओं के लिए मिसाल बन गई हैं। उषा द्वारा स्थापित की गई रेड ब्रिगेड ट्रस्ट एक्ट के अंतर्गत रजिस्टर्ड है। उषा ने समाज की भलाई के लिए किए गए प्रयासों से ये साबित कर दिया है कि दुनिया का अस्तित्व औरतों से ही है। उषा का बचपन गरीबी में बीता। 2010 में वे झुग्गी के बच्चों को पढ़ाने जाती थीं। वहीं एक लड़के ने टिन शेड में बने क्लासरूम में उनका यौन शोषण किया। उषा कहती हैं - ''जब वह लड़का मेरे करीब था तो मुझमें इतना साहस भी नहीं था कि मैं उसका विरोध कर सकती। उसकी बढ़ती हरकतों को देखकर मैंने उसे दो थप्पड़ मारे और वहां से भाग निकली''। इस घटना का उषा के दिमाग पर गहरा प्रभाव हुआ। उसके बाद लगभग छह महीने तक वह डिप्रेशन में रहीं। उषा के मन में तब ये विचार आया कि अगर मैं अपनी ही तरह की लड़कियों के लिए कोई प्रयास न कर सकी तो मेरी पढ़ाई बेकार ही जाएगी। अपनी इसी सोच के चलते 2011 में उषा ने 'रेड ब्रिगेड' की शुरुआत की। सबसे पहले उसने 15 ऐस...

For those who have been wondering why only the women in the film industry are being summoned for questioning by the Narcotics Control Bureau, there is encouraging news. We have it from an extremely reliable source that the male actors would soon be summoned for questioning. Sources say the only reason why the ladies of Bollywood were summoned first was because of the WhatsApp chats which gave them away. “It’s not a gender-thing at all; it’s just a question of who fell into the net first. The men were a bit more difficult to identify. But now they’ve zeroed in on the male stars as well,” an informed source reveals. While the list of male actors to be questioned by the NCB is yet to be finalized, one hears of some names like this A-list superstar from an illustrious film family who has spoken of his tryst with drugs in old press interviews, and a new-age star who gained stardom after a patriotic movie, being on top of the male list.

The second day consisted of a vibrant set whilst bringing back the 'Home' track from their April 2019 EP 'Map Of The Soul: Persona '. "The performance was pre-recorded in Seoul and the set gave homely and cozy feels.

The whole performance looked like the music video the fans deserved it. The song narrates the story of the septet who call ARMY their home and turn to in any circumstance. The sentiment reflects in the lyrics - ' That place is probably Mi Casa / With you I'mma feel rich (yeah) / That place is no other than Mi Casa /  Turn it on, your switch (switch) Yeah' ." The first in-person guest to attend the show was John Cena who spoke eloquently a...
