Alt Balaji, Ektaa Kapoor, and Shobha Kapoor booked under POCSO Act for web series allegedly involving minors in obscene scenes: Reports 

-

The MHB police have registered a case against Alt Balaji Telefilm, its producer Ektaa Kapoor, and Shobha Kapoor under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. Reportedly, the case stems from a Borivali court order, following a complaint filed by Swapnil Rewaji, a yoga instructor from Borivali. The complaint, initially lodged with the MHB police in 2021, alleges that obscene scenes involving minors were filmed in three web series produced by Alt Balaji, including Class of 2017 and Class of 2020.

Obscene Scenes and Allegations The case, reportedly registered on October 18, 2024, accuses the web series of featuring inappropriate scenes involving minors, including actors dressed in school uniforms engaging in ‘lewd’ acts. The complainant, Swapnil Rewaji, claims that the content in these web series not only objectifies minors but also puts them at risk of harm due to the nature of the filming. As per reports, the FIR states that a minor girl was subjected to obscene filming and lewd communication between February and April 2021. Legal Charges Filed Based on the Borivali court's directive, the MHB police have invoked multiple legal provisions, including Sections 13 and 15 of the POCSO Act, which deal with the use of children for pornographic purposes. Additionally, the case includes charges under Section 67(a) of the Information Technology Prevention Act, Section 292 of the Women Prohibition Act, Sections 293 and 295(a) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and the Prevention of Cigarette and Tobacco Products Advertisement Act. These charges collectively focus on obscenity, the inappropriate portrayal of minors, and content that could be harmful to children. Investigation Underway As of now, the police investigation is ongoing. The authorities are looking into the allegations of obscene filming in the web series produced by Alt Balaji. However, neither Alt Balaji Telefilm nor its producers, Ektaa Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, have released any official statements regarding the case. The investigation is expected to continue, with more details likely to emerge in the coming weeks.

‘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...
