Jackky Bhagnani returns to acting after six years with Independence Day anthem 'Tere Rang Mein': "I wanted the street credibility and respect of Gen Z"

It’s been quite some time since I faced the camera. So, I thought the best way to come back is with the right cause,” Bhagnani said.

Jatin Pandit opens up on his relationship with brother Lalit Pandit; says, “Even his kids don’t talk to me”

Jatin-Lalit remains one of the most celebrated music composer duo from mainstream Bollywood. Some of the most celebrated works of the siblings include Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Khamoshi: The Musical, Yes Boss, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Fanaa, etc. But the two composers part ways around a decade-and-a-half ago due to some differences and that was the end of the association.

During an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Jatin Pandit from the Jatin-Lalit duo opened up about his changed equation with his partner over the years. When asked whether he would like to team up with Lalit again, he was quick to say, “I have told this 100 times. I am always ready. But it has to happen from both the sides. But I have stopped saying anymore because I was refused so many times. So I said theek hai, I have to respect everybody’s privacy.”

Jatin added that he understands why his partnership with Lalit is difficult to forget for Hindi song lovers. “We attained such success after working together,” he said. “When someone wants to resolve something and speak his heart (out), it can happen. But what if there’s no such thing in someone’s heart?”

Jatin and Lalit did come together for a musical show in 2020. But Jatin said that he was unaware about it when it was announced. “Lalit ji did a show and he didn’t consult me,” he said. “He said he is doing ‘Jatin-Lalit night’ and gave my name. But I didn’t make an issue out of it. I thought as he has given my name, I should honour it and do this show.”

Jatin is also unable to ignore what he felt was Lalit’s change of behaviour after the show. “After the show, I had immediately organized a big dinner at my place. Till the time the show was happening, he was all okay. Then all of a sudden, he just changed. He didn’t even call me for his next show and then some people approached him for a musical. Not as Jatin-Lalit.”


Earlier this year, Lalit did another show where songs from his combination with Jatin were performed. This too hasn’t gone down well with Jatin. “He later did another show and again he sang the songs composed by us as ‘Jatin Lalit,’” he added. “There is only one individual song of Lalit ji that became a hit. If you are doing the whole show with Jatin-Lalit’s music, you can at least call Jatin and inform. The sad part is that even (his) kids don’t talk to me.”

Looking back at their initial days, Jatin recalled that they got a big project back then because of him. “I am a God-fearing person and I have been very instrumental in joining Jatin-Lalit as a team and getting him the film Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikandar,” he said. “I had got that film, he hadn’t. He told me (back then) he wants to join me and I honoured that.”

Said, ‘Love pe emphasize karoge toh pata chalega ki love ka song hai. Warna theek se Loveria word ka impact nahi padega’”

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...

Omen (Augure) review – Baloji offers secrets and sorcery in Congolese homecoming

Musician and film-maker’s story about a Belgian-Congolese man who takes his white wife to DRC to meet the family is complex, risky and bold Congolese-born rapper, musician and film-maker Baloji (né Serge Baloji Tshiani) was a prizewinner at Cannes last year with this feature directing debut: a dynamic, teemingly populated, multistranded and tonally elusive picture which I initially thought would benefit from comparisons with Jordan Peele’s horror classic Get Out. In fact, it’s more complicated than that. Koffi (Marc Zinga) is a Congolese man living in Belgium and married to a white woman, Alice (Lucie Debay). They are about to have twins and Koffi feels that he cannot put it off any further: whatever his family will think, the couple must journey back to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to let them see Alice and let them get used to the idea. It particularly means propitiating his fiercely conservative mother Mujila (Yves-Marina Gnahoua). He takes care to shave off his westernis...
