20th anniversary EXCLUSIVE: Madhur Bhandarkar says corporate booking, in a healthy manner, began with Corporate: "Half-day was declared in some offices; employees were encouraged to watch the film"; reveals, "Many people STOPPED consuming soft drinks after watching it!"

-
Corporate (2006) completed 20 years on July 7 and it’s a film that Madhur Bhandarkar considers his favourite. Starring Bipasha Basu, Kay Kay Menon, Raj Babbar and Rajat Kapoor, the film was loved for its subject, shocking climax, performances, music, etc. Despite dealing with the complex worlds of corporate business and the stock market, the narrative was easy to understand, an aspect that was widely praised by audiences and critics alike. On Corporate’s 20th anniversary, Madhur Bhandarkar went down memory lane and shared fascinating trivia. You had made Page 3 (2005) and it was a sleeper-hit. What made you make a film on the corporate world at that stage? Corporate was a film which was ahead of its time. It was a very different world for me. I didn’t have a story. The title fascinated me and I decided to make Corporate, obviously based on the corporate world. I collaborated with writer Manoj Tyagi, who had written Satta (2003) and Page 3 with me. He was an MBA guy and had a lot of kn...

Elon Musk Responds To Rumors That He Had An Affair With The Wife Of Google’s Founder Sergey Brin

-
Over the weekend, a genuine controversy broke out in the international media. The Wall Street Journal's reporters discovered that Elon Musk had a relationship with Nicole Shanahan, the wife of Sergey Brin, a friend of theirs. Insiders claim that the Google founder learned about his wife's adultery in December of this year. The pair also filed for divorce in January, claiming "unresolved issues" as justification. It was particularly ironic in this case as Sergey had once saved Elon's company from bankruptcy. After that, the billionaires grew close and frequently hung out with one another. According to rumors, Musk reportedly bowed down to plead for Brin's forgiveness once he learned about the affair. The two ex-friends, however, lost contact following this event. Elon, who meticulously reads every article about himself in the media, remained mute for a considerable amount of time. He ultimately chose to make a statement, though. The world's richest billionaire tweeted: "This is all pure nonsense. I'm friends with Sergey, and yesterday we attended a party together. Nicole, I've only recently seen a handful of times, and she was usually accompanied by others, the millionaire remarked. He also mentioned that he hadn't had any sexual activity recently. And everyone who uses the Internet knows that this is a blatant exaggeration. After all, Ilona has a number of young children. The social media site filed a lawsuit against him earlier this month after he declared he was abandoning his plan to acquire the company. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Mr. Musk has the largest estimated fortune in the world, which is more than $240 billion. Mr. Brin is the seventh richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $95 billion, based on the same index. Inquiries from the BBC for comments were not immediately answered by Ms. Shanahan, Mr. Brin, or Google.

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...
