EXCLUSIVE: Inox R City Ghatkopar at it again; after viral Mission Impossible fiasco, theatre now cancels Khuda Gawah’s special screening: “Patrons were angry; some had come all the way from Andheri, Panvel”

-
In the post-pandemic era, there has been a renewed interest to watch re-releases or special screenings of older classics on the big screen. Hence, many such shows often get sold out or have high occupancy. And when patrons travel from one part of the city to another only to realize that the show has been cancelled, one can imagine the frustration. This is what happened on Saturday, June 14, during the special show of Khuda Gawah (1992), starring Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi, held at Mumbai’s Inox R City Ghatkopar. The show was scheduled for 5:30 PM in the 160-seater audi of Screen 7. Just around the show time, the management informed the patrons that the show had been cancelled as the content hadn’t been delivered to the cinema hall. As per reports, the show had an occupancy of nearly 90%, that is around 140-145 people were present. As expected, the patrons created a ruckus. Bollywood Hungama spoke to Sriram Jay. He revealed how things unfolded, “I had booked the tickets of Khuda Gaw...

Queen Elizabeth II modeled a brooch given to her by her parents for her 19th birthday

Queen Elizabeth II modeled a brooch given to her by her parents for her 19th birthday. At the Royal Chelsea Flower Show, Queen Elizabeth II wore a ruby ​​and sapphire flower brooch given to her by her parents for her 19th birthday. This is reported by the Daily Mail. This year, several displays at the annual Royal Flower Show in Chelsea are dedicated to the celebration of Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee. The day before the official opening, Elizabeth II arrived there. She wore a pink dress, on the lapel of which she attached a brooch. The Cartier jewel, featuring pink and blue sapphires, rubies, and diamonds, was presented to the Queen in 1945 by her parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. Her Majesty rarely wears a brooch. The last time she was seen with this jewelry was in 2011 during a tour of Australia, and before that - at a Christmas ceremony in 1990. Buckingham Palace confirmed the Queen's presence at the event at the last moment. During her 70 years on the throne, Elizabeth II visited the flower exhibition organized by the Royal Horticultural Society more than 50 times. In addition to the monarch, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie and Princess Beatrice and her husband Eduardo Mapelli Mozzi arrived at the event. Earlier, It was reported that the Elizabeth II metro line in London stopped two hours after its opening. A fire alarm has halted traffic between Paddington and Tottenham Court Road stations. Pictures and videos shared on social media show firefighters arriving on the subway. “Earlier, the station sounded the fire alarm, but now it has opened. The line has reopened and all services are operating as normal,” the London Transport Authority said later.

‘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...
