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...

Hilaria Baldwin Has Said That She And Alec Will Have To Wait And See Whether They Decide To Expand Their Family

-
Even though Alec and Hilaria Baldwin already have seven small children, there is still room for more children in the family. The Baldwins are not ruling out the possibility of having more children. I would never have changed my mind if I'd known then what I know now. In an interview that was published on Monday with Us Weekly, Hilaria Baldwin said, "Seven kids in, I feel like I am." However, it's just Alec and myself; she pointed out. Therefore, only time shall tell! The 38-year-old yoga instructor from Boston and her actor husband, who is 64, just became parents to the newest member of the Baldwin family, a girl named Ilaria Catalina Irena. Ilaria was welcomed into the family by older siblings Carmen, 9; Rafael, 7; Leonardo, 6; Romeo, 4; Eduardo, 2, and Lucia, 20 months, in addition to Ireland, Alec's 27-year-old daughter from a previous relationship with Kim Basinger. In a separate interview with Us Weekly, Hilaria explained, "I have to confess that once I reached three kids, I just welcomed the craziness." We have a crazy and entertaining house for guests. There is constantly something going on. The fitness instructor said immediately after giving birth that she was battling with tremendous mom guilt, a sensation that still creeps up sometimes, despite the fact that she was ecstatic about the arrival of Ilaria on September 22nd. In her interview with The Huffington Post on Monday, she said, "I think many parents, whether they have one kid or a million, feel like we are never enough." However, she added that she is attempting to push into self-compassion and remind herself that she is only one person trying her best. The host of the Mom Brain podcast continued by saying that her most difficult challenge these days is to be fully present for each of her children. She said that she only sometimes succeeds in striking the perfect balance between helping the two eldest children with their bedtime homework, spending time with the middle children playing, and continuing to breastfeed the two youngest children.

-
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. Last month, Interstellar re-released and received a rocking response. However, it just had a one-week run. If you missed watching the cult film in cinemas, here’s a reason for you to rejoice. The film will be back on the big screen on March 14, that too in IMAX. Moreover, Warner Bros will also bring back Dune: Part Two on the same day in theatres. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Interstellar has a huge demand as it’s a film worth watching in theatres, that too IMAX.

‘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...
