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...

They Say Kanye West Lauded Hitler And The Nazis In Meetings, According To Former Colleagues

-
According to a recent explosive revelation, Kanye West has been using anti-Semitic language in the workplace for years and has even bribed one employee to keep quiet about it. According to NBC News, 45-year-old Yeezy CEO Kanye West settled a lawsuit filed by a former employee who claimed he heard the billionaire publicly praise Adolf Hitler and the Nazis on many occasions during business meetings. According to the report, West has rejected the allegations contained within the deal. However, NBC News also spoke anonymously with six other persons who claim to have heard West either reference conspiracy theories about Jewish people or glorify Hitler in a professional context during the past five years. Both of these statements were made by individuals who were not identified in the report. Only Ryder Ripps, a conceptual artist who collaborated with the divisive designer intermittently from 2014 to 2018, has gone on the record, saying that he has often forced back on West's sentiments because he is Jewish himself but has never considered the remarks were hazardous. According to the designer's allegations, the Stronger rapper reportedly remarked, "You're not insulted that like I'm interested in Nazis or anything," He had previously told him a bunch of stuff about how Nazis are excellent at propaganda. Ripps did not take West seriously before. Still, everything changed when the Praise God rapper made a series of anti-Semitic statements in recent weeks, including threatening to "go death con three on Jewish people," both online and in interviews. The artist told NBC News that what they were doing was hazardous, filthy, and aggressive. This seems to be a trend, and the fact that it's increasing in intensity by multiples of three suggests that it's part of a bizarre Nazi obsession fueled by vicious hatred.

‘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...
