Does Bhansali glorify jauhar?

'I am angry because this ever happened.' 'I am sad because it's painful to think what they must be going through.''I am glad we've fought hard to break through such cruel tradition.''But it burns my blood to think we're still holding on to regressive culture that is stemmed from preserving this so-called honour,' says Sukanya Verma. from Rediff Movies - columns http://ift.tt/2BD4Hqf

'Television will die a tragic death'

'I was playing a rockstar.''After three days, I get a script that my character will turn into a lion.''I felt I hadn't signed up for this, so I told Ekta about it.''Ekta told me, "Beta, na tu important hai na main important hoon. Woh spot wala hai na, usko ghar pe khana khilana hai".''She said if she didn't change the content, she would not get TRPs and eventually, her show would shut down.''If the show stops, she asked me if I would take these workers home.' 'I said "Let's become the lion".' from Rediff Movies - television news http://ift.tt/2nfxugi

Padmaavat review: Nothing new to offer

'As the film progresses, you tire of the been-there seen-that spectacle.''You want a story. You want good dialogue, not the corny words you are hearing.''You want an emotional connect. You want a tighter film.''Sadly, with Padmaavat, that's not what you get,' says Savera R Someshwar. from Rediff Movies - Reviews http://ift.tt/2F7bdrq

Mukkabaaz Review: Anurag Kashyap's crowdpleaser

'You walk out of <em>Mukkabaaz</em> feeling good about yourself, but unlike Kashyap's best pictures, it releases you from the responsibility of seeing yourself in it; the movie is darn clever, most of the way, but it hardly has any wisdom,' says Sreehari Nair. from Rediff Movies - Reviews http://ift.tt/2CTRJWK

Paddington 2 Review: Sweet, snuggly sequel!

'While the kids are sure to learn a thing or two about good behaviour, it's the spirit of community living gently conveyed in scenes of <em>Paddington</em>'s selfless involvement around his neighbourhood that make the film a lot more timely than expected from standard children's fare,' notes Sukanya Verma. from Rediff Movies - Reviews http://ift.tt/2mjmXiW
