Karan Johar slams ‘herd mentality’ as he talks about Pushpa, Chhaava, Stree 2 success; addresses spy universe craze and asks, “How will I stand out if I copy?” - EXCLUSIVE

-
Karan Johar is known for his candour, and in a recent conversation with Bollywood Hungama, the filmmaker once again shared some hard-hitting insights - this time on the current state of storytelling in the Hindi film industry. From genre fatigue to the obsession with cinematic universes, Johar didn’t hold back in expressing his views on why originality should be celebrated, not sidelined. “I think it's everybody grappling to do what others are doing. I think herd mentality. So, we see Pushpa running and catering so strongly to the tier two and tier three audiences. Suddenly there'll be 20 others wanting to do the same. You see Chhaava working, and everybody will want to make historical dramas! After Stree, everybody wants to make horror comedies. Those worked because they were individually strong, and there was no other option in that genre. And it was a unique thought that made those films work. We all have individual thoughts that are unique to ourselves,” Karan told Bollywo...

David Adefeso just told his fans and followers that their savings account is a bad investment. Check out what more he had to say.

 'Your savings account is a bad place to hold your long-term investments due to the silent “asset killer” called Inflation.

SIDE NOTE: When I shot this video a few months back, annual inflation was at 5%, but has now shot up to 7% today. With savings accounts currently yielding an average of 0.06%; This means your savings account is on track to lose you -6.94% this year in real dollars….all while you sleep,' David said. 


He continued and said: 'It’s the opposite of what I call “Sleep Money” because you lose, not gain, money while you sleep.

I agree that savings accounts pay little to nothing in interests. For me, I have been holding money in my savings account so I can buy real estate and hopefully make a better return than 0.06%

.' A follower posted this: 'Thanks for the advice and so true. But I have also been losing badly on mutual fund investment in shares. So what’s the alternative that would give me a yield slightly above inflation, David ?' 

A commenter said: 'A 529 Education Savings Plan is a great, higher yielding, tax-efficient, alternative to savings accounts when it comes to saving for education expenses.' A fan posted this: 'thanks for all the advice!' In other news, David Adefeso just showed fans his three sisters, and people cannot get enough of his family.

Ronnie runs a thriving catering business and at the same time manages her husband, BobbyO’s, large medical practice in Dallas FW. Abby is a Medical Doctor. Family medicine. She also makes clean herbal products that enriches our beautiful melanin African skin. And then there’s Mo. She’s has a PhD; so I think we’re supposed to call Dr. Mo. Instead, we call her The Beast! 

She’s changing the African education system one brick at a time; she advises governors and Presidents on policy, and has “hung out” with the Queen of England (I heard more than once!' David began his message.

A lot of Bollywood films have re-released off late but when it comes to Hollywood, a handful of classics have had a re-run in cinemas.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
