Priyanka Chopra, Varanasi and the question of a Telugu debut; was the Ram Charan starrer Thoofan forgotten?

-
The Varanasi team’s widely circulated interview with Screen Rant features a rather awkward moment. When the interviewer asks Priyanka Chopra about her Telugu debut in Varanasi, the actor says she cannot remember when she last did a Telugu film. Mahesh Babu quickly steps in to add, “This is her first Telugu film.” But that is not entirely accurate. Priyanka Chopra had, in fact, featured in the Telugu version of the Amitabh Bachchan classic Zanjeer in 2013. Titled Thoofan, the Ram Charan starrer had Priyanka playing his love interest in what was admittedly a small role. At the time, Chopra had expressed considerable gratitude to the makers of Thoofan, as opportunities in Bollywood were scarce for her then. A senior member of the Thoofan team views her current statement as a case of selective amnesia. “When we signed her for Thoofan, nobody in the Hindi film industry was willing to sign her. We ourselves felt the role was not substantial enough for a future global star like her. But s...

Airlines Flight tickets Chaos : Iggy Azalea Stranded With An Infant With No Luggage

-
Iggy Azalea slammed American Airlines for allegedly selling her and her son Onyx's seats right before a trip. On Monday, the Fancy singer began her Twitter diatribe by saying, "I wanted to caution any families booking vacation be careful travelling with young kids on @AmericanAir." "I was flying with my son, and they sold our tickets while the gate was still open, then refused to let us off the plane with our baggage, despite the fact that every other trip for that night was sold out." "Stranding me is one thing," Azalea said, "but snatching a baby's suitcase is s—." "There's something he truly needs," the Australian actress continued, referring to her son with ex-boyfriend Playboi Carti (real name: Jordan Terrell Carter). "They are unconcerned. I was fortunate in that I was able to book a different flight, but the normal person would have been a— out and f—ed, so I just wanted to warn other mothers... Take care!" Azalea reached out to AA on their official Instagram page throughout the ordeal, sending them a private message outlining what she was going through. She and Onyx were checked in on time, but "they still sold our seats because we didn't come quickly enough to board, even though the aeroplane was still boarding when we got to the gate," according to the songwriter. They "refused to remove our stuff off the plane," according to Azalea, and there were no other flights available that day or the next, leaving her and Onyx stranded. "Now I'm trapped in another city with an infant and no luggage," she raged, adding that the situation was handled "extremely unprofessionally and without any care or compassion." After everything, Azalea informed supporters that JetBlue "came through for us" and "saved the day." Later that evening, she tweeted images of her son smiling on their rescheduled journey. She revealed, "We didn't get home until 3 a.m." "[Onyx] didn't weep a single time! I'm extremely blessed to be his mother! He makes any bad day better, and I adore my kid so much."

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
