Subhash K Jha, in this new edition of This Day That Year, shines the spotlight on a film that long before Housefull 5, Ram Gopal Varma tried the two-ending gimmick with 2005’s My Wife’s Murder, which he produced that released in 2005.

Pushing the envelope comes easy to Ram Gopal Varma, especially in a film that’s about a man being pushed around by his wife to the point of no return. Anil Kapoor gets an opportunity to play the harassed husband and protective papa all over again.

This methodical actor slips into the role of the distraught husband with an almost discernible whoop of joy. Some moments of this thriller about a loser on the run shake your soul. Others just leave you cold. At the end of the dreadful day, My Wife’s Murder is a film that’s cold at heart. The icy-cold feeling of a life...

If you are fond of shows like this, there is a criminally underrated legal drama that truly deserves your attention. We are talking about the 2022 show, Guilty Minds.

Aamir Khan Nearly Cast In Cult Rom-Com ( Photo Credit – Netflix )

Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan have undoubtedly been two of the biggest and most bankable actors in the Indian film industry. As you know, they have never starred together as lead actors in a film. They had cameos in films like Laal Singh Chaddha and Luck by Chance but did not share screen space in these films.

The Film That Almost Starred Aamir Khan & Shah Rukh Khan

Back in the 90s, the two superstars were almost cast together in a romantic comedy film, which has gained a cult following. The film’s name is Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. According to an earlier report by News 18, Aamir Khan was the first choice to play the lead role of the adorable character Sunil in Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. And Shah Rukh Khan, who was trying to make a mark in the film industry,...

Subhash K Jha, in a new installment of This Day That Year, revisits Romeo Akbar Walter which starred John Abraham, as it completes 6 years.

What makes them do it? No, I don’t mean the bravehearts like Meghna Gulzar and now Robby Grewal who dare to make films about those daredevils who risk their lives to act as Indian spies in Pakistan. But those unsung daredevils who sneak into Pakistan to glean information for their beloved motherland.

Towards the end of this intelligently written, well-crafted espionage drama, our spy hero’s boss, played with wizened aplomb by Jackie Shroff, mumbles, “He gave preference to his motherland over his own mother.”

Just a while back, John Abraham’s Romeo/Akbar/Walter had made Shroff promise, “No matter what happens, my Ammi must be looked after.”

Raw hits those raw nerves that all patriotic cinema avoids. This time, we go beyond the...

Subhash K Jha, takes on Sushmita Sen’s Karma Aur Holi, which released in 2009, in this new This Day That Year feature.

A few minutes into this mish-mash of Woody Allen, George Bernard Shaw, Govind Nihalani, and Keshu Ramsay, you know the narrative is in trouble. The characters who come to Sushmita-Randeep’s home in New York for an afternoon of heavy-duty gossiping, bitching introspection, and confession seem to be speaking dialogues borrowed from a cheap American soap opera. The feelings and thoughts are not only assumed, but they are also devoid of any coherent pattern. The script tries to be sassy without the basic source material to carry off its ambitions.

What was Sushmita Sen thinking when she decided to work in this tableau of titillating possibilities on man-woman relationships all gone to utter and irrevocable waste? Karma Aur Holi with huge dollops of confession thrown in with the...

Talking about why he believes young people are special, he said, “I think they are finding their own ways. They will think what I can’t think, they will see what I can’t see. Painters are your eyes in a way, they show you what you missed.”

"It's silly to not allow everybody to be vaccinated & have age & comorbidity restrictions. Everybody willing to be vaccinated & follow procedure shld be allotted a slot. Only way to prevent #Covid_19 from spreading further & creating a herd immunity," Suchitra tweeted.

While we get to watch new films all the time, the lockdown could be a golden chance to catch up with a few classics across genres.

Directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, the comedy film is about a man pretending to be a driver and fooling his wife's brother-in-law as an attempt to prove that the brother-in-law is not as smart as he claims to be.

Kashyap took to Twitter to thank the Mumbai Police which helped him with filing the Fir.

"Thank you so much for the amazing support and starting the process. Thank you (Maharashtra Chief Minister) Devendra Fadnavis and thank you (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi Sir. As a father, I am more secure now," Kashyap tweeted.

Last week, Kashyap had taken to Twitter to raise his concern about a rape threat his daughter Aaliyah had received from a social media user who claimed to be a Modi supporter.

Kashyap had then tagged Modi in a tweet wherein he wrote: "Dear Narendra Modi sir. Congratulations on your victory and thank you for the message of inclusiveness. Sir please also tell us how do we deal with these followers of yours who celebrate your victory...

Erica Fernandes, Jennifer Winget and Vivian Dsena are among those who have made a mark with their talent in the Indian television industry.

"We have a few Christians in the industry. Of course, we are here to break the stereotypes. Initially, my Hindi was not too good as I used to mostly converse in English. Daily soaps have taught me how to speak well in Hindi and I am thankful for this," Erica told Ians.
