Sharmila Tagore on missing out on Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani with Dharmendra, “I fell ill and couldn’t do the film”

-
“We shared the same birthday. He was my co-star in seven films. I knew he was not keeping good health. But the news of his passing is still very saddening,” said Sharmila Tagore, who worked in films as far-ranging as Satyakam and Chupke Chupke with Dharmendra. She reflected on their screen togetherness. “We first worked together in Devar and then during the same year in Anupama. Two very serious subjects, followed by an out-and-out commercial film Mere Humdum Mere Dost. Shooting with him was a breeze. He was as effortless on screen as he was off it. He was never ‘The Star’ on the sets, always his natural self. There was nothing put-on about him.” Sharmila Tagore recalled her first meeting with Dharmendra. “Before we worked together, we met when I was shooting with Yash Chopra’s Waqt. I don’t know in what context he was there. But I remember he was dressed… how shall I put it… not like a star at all. When s...

EXCLUSIVE: CBFC replaces ‘Modi ji’ with ‘The Government’ in Mere Husband Ki Biwi; reduces ‘sensual audio of woman’ by 50%

-

The big release of the week is Mere Husband Ki Biwi, starring Arjun Kapoor, Rakul Preet Singh and Bhumi Pednekar. The film has caught attention due to its quirky title, the chemistry between the leads and the concept. In this Bollywood Hungama special feature, we’ll focus on the cuts given to the film by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

The Examining Committee (EC) of the CBFC asked for four modifications - one visual and three dialogue-related. The visuals of the 'woman hand gesture' were asked to be replaced. The EC replaced the word 'Haryanvi' with 'Ek Gang'.

Further, they asked to replace 'Modi ji' with 'The Government'. Finally, they asked the makers to reduce 'sensual audio of woman' by 50%. As per the sources, it was probably implemented in the scene, which is also shown in the trailer, where Rakul Preet Singh's character moans loudly while Arjun Kapoor's character kisses her neck, in order to make Bhumi Pednekar's character jealous.

Once these changes were made, Mere Husband Ki Biwi was passed with a UA 13+ rating. This new rating, where the age is mentioned, was introduced reportedly in November 2024. As per reports, U/A 16+ and U/A 7+ ratings have also been implemented. In recent times, Sky Force also received a U/A 13+ rating while films like Chhaava, Deva, Loveyapa, Badass Ravi Kumar etc. were passed with a U/A 16+ rating.

The censor certificate was handed over to the makers of Mere Husband Ki Biwi on February 17. The length of the film, as mentioned on the certificate, is 143.44 minutes. In other words, Mere Husband Ki Biwi’s runtime is 2 hours 23 minutes and 44 seconds.

Mere Husband Ki Biwi is produced by Jackky Bhagnani, who is married to the film’s actress, Rakul Preet Singh. Interestingly, the film releases on February 21, which also marks their first wedding anniversary.

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...
