Happy Birthday, R. Madhavan: A look at the roles that made us laugh, cry, and cheer!

-
R. Madhavan is the embodiment of versatility in Indian cinema. From romantic leads to morally grey figures, from everyman protagonists to inspiring mentors, R. Madhavan’s characters resonate because he brings depth, vulnerability, and an innate charm to each role. 1. Rehnaa Hai Tere Dil Mein- Maddy Maddy! The guy who made an entire generation fall in love with love. He was charming, impulsive, and had that boyish grin that could launch a thousand ships. Maddy wasn’t just a character — he was the blueprint for every college romance fantasy in the early 2000s. Admit it: You too have lip-synced to 'Zara Zara' at least once in your life.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Amazon Music India (@amazonmusicin) 2. Shaitaan- Vanraj Kashyap Who knew Maddy had a sinister side? In Shaitaan, he flips the nice-guy script and goes full dark mode as Vanraj Kashyap. Creepy? Yes. Unpredictable? Absolutely. Memorable? Oh, you bet. This is Madhavan proving he can be as ter...

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...
