"I still maintain that he DID NOT commit suicide" - The INSIDE story on the last 24 hours of Guru Dutt's life; a brother's emotional recollection

-
The 100th birth anniversary of one of the greatest film personalities ever, Guru Dutt, is celebrated on July 9. He died at the age of just 38 but the contribution he made to cinema has been unforgettable. No wonder that 60 years after his passing, he continues to be talked about and remembered. Some believe that he committed suicide while some don’t believe this theory at all. Devi Dutt, brother of Guru Dutt, spoke at length with Filmfare 9 years ago about why he was sure that his brother didn’t end his own life. In the April 2016 issue, a detailed interview of Devi Dutt was published in which he talked about Guru Dutt’s beginnings, his relationship with Geeta Dutt and a lot more. At one point, he explained what happened on October 9, 1964, a day before Guru Dutt was found dead. Devi Dutt said, “After Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam (1962), Guru Dutt and Bhabhi (Geeta Dutt) had patched up. It was decided that the entire family would stay together at 48 Pali Hill once it was redeveloped. On Oct...

Diljit Dosanjh takes jab at Telangana Govt over censorship during Hyderabad concert: “When artists come to India from other countries…”

-

Punjabi music sensation Diljit Dosanjh addressed the controversy surrounding the Telangana government’s ban on some of his songs during his electrifying Hyderabad concert on Saturday night. Despite the restrictions, the singer entertained a packed stadium, taking a humorous yet pointed approach to the censorship.

Telangana Govt’s Ban on Diljit’s Songs The Telangana government had earlier issued an order prohibiting Diljit from performing songs referencing alcohol, drugs, and violence during his Hyderabad concert. While performing, Diljit subtly criticized the decision without naming anyone directly.

“When artists come to India from other countries, they are allowed to do whatever they like, sing whatever they want, koi tension nahin… But when an artist from your own country is singing, people have so many problems,” he remarked. Diljit Dosanjh's reply to Telengana government who asked him to censor lyrics related to violence or alcohol. byu/sheilakijawani_gone inBollyBlindsNGossip

"Some People Can't Digest My Success" Diljit further commented on the challenges he faces as a homegrown artist. “Some people cannot digest the fact that such big shows are happening, that tickets are getting sold out in 2 minutes,” he said. “Bro, I've been working for many, many years now. I have not become famous in a day.” A Creative Response to Censorship The censorship did not dampen Diljit’s spirit. Instead, he adapted by altering certain lyrics in his songs that referenced alcohol or violence, much to the delight of his fans. This creative workaround showcased his ability to entertain despite the restrictions. Diljit on Black Marketing of Tickets During the concert, Diljit also spoke about the global issue of ticket black marketing. “Government ispe kaam kar rahi hai,” he said, acknowledging the steps being taken to address the problem while highlighting its prevalence worldwide. Dil-luminati Tour in Full Swing Diljit’s Hyderabad concert was part of his ongoing Dil-luminati Tour, which kicked off in Delhi on October 26. The singer is set to perform in cities like Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Pune, Kolkata, and Mumbai before concluding the tour in Guwahati on December 29.

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...
