Raashii Khanna speaks out on Bollywood’s South remake trend; says, “Dubbed films are anyway available to watch online”

-
Actress Raashii Khanna acknowledges the prevalent trend of Bollywood drawing inspiration from successful South Indian films to boost box office performance. However, she believes it’s time for the industry to shift gears. With audiences now craving original storytelling and dubbed South films easily available online, Raashii stresses the need for fresh content. In today’s pan-India cinema landscape, she agrees that Bollywood’s attempt to replicate South hits is a reality, but one that needs rethinking. Raashii told Hindustan Times, “⁠I can’t disagree that we do see remakes from the south quite often but I think the industry is also realising more and more that the audience needs newer content and that dubbed films are anyway available to watch online.” She added, “With the rise of OTT platforms, language is no longer a barrier. I can sense a shift in the industry's mindset, and I genuinely hope we start creating more original content and exploring different genres—because honestl...

Elsa Hosk appeared in Cannes in a dress from Valentino

-
Elsa Hosk appeared in Cannes in a dress from Valentino. While pregnant Adriana Lima conquers the red carpet of Cannes with her bold look, her colleague Elsa Hosk delights fans with bright colors. The supermodel of Swedish origin has long won the love of the audience at the grand Victoria's Secret shows, dazzling guests with her cold beauty. This time, the snow queen of the fashion world has opted for a textured dress from the new Valentino collection in a bold shade of fuchsia. A plunging neckline, combined with a flowing thick crepe cut and a long train, gives the outfit a special shape, thanks to which the star resembles a freshly blossomed bud of a delicate May rose. Fragile shoulders looked advantageous against the backdrop of a semi-fitted style, and long matching gloves added a more dramatic effect to the image. A glittering choker and diamond bracelet complete the look, perfect for the flawless star. The model's platinum tresses were styled in a braided updo, and the slightly dewy makeup with silver shimmer was a breath of fresh air on this special day. In a previous post, The 2022 Cannes Film Festival has officially kicked off. The annual event is one of the most glitzy red carpets in the world, second only to the Oscars and the Met Gala in pomp and scope. A-list stars fly in from Hollywood and travel from all over Europe to climb those signature red steps. Of course, they must be dressed in their best suits and dresses, which are often tailored by the best fashion houses or taken literally from the catwalk. After canceling the ceremony in 2020 due to the pandemic, Cannes went back offline last year. And in 2022, celebrities with renewed vigor took up their favorite pastime - to shine, surprise and shine.

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...
