Manorama, who was known for her comic and negative roles, never got her due from the Hindi film industry. Now when, seventeen years after her death, memes are devoted to her comic virtuosity. It is emphatically tragic that she died in penury.

Hema Malini, who was ‘tortured’ by Manorama in Ramesh Sippy’s Seeta Aur Geeta, remembers the senior actress fondly. “She was so convincing as my wicked aunt; the audience hated her for torturing poor Seeta, and that was me. I remember there was a scene where she makes me undrape my saree. I was shaken after that scene. So evil on screen! But such a warm, friendly human being in real life.”

Sadly, the Indian moviegoing audience largely confuses the actor for the character and the character for the performance. Another brilliant actress, Shashikala, was hated by the public as she largely played negative characters. Sharmila Tagore once...

When after watching Jagmohan Mundhra’s Provoked at a special private screening with Aishwarya Rai in 2006, I had turned to her to ask how she looked so convincing as a victim of domestic violence, she had smiled wanly and replied, “Because I’ve been through this.”

The guy she was dating her had pushed her down the stairs once, just like Saumya Sood’s husband in Do Patti, a crackling hissing free-falling thriller-styled fire-and-ice drama about twin sisters who resolve to take the lout in their own hands when the law fails.

I don’t wants to give away too much of Kannika Dhillon’s nimbly written script. Suffice it to say, Do Patti has its highs(the skygliding scenes help) and lows. While the “twist” in the climax is like blowing smoke rings with an extinguished cigarette , the rest of the film has its inspired interludes, especially in the...

However, this classic – the good one and the bad one – with the same facial identity has hardly gone wrong. And Bollywood turned into a classic goldmine when it explored the theme with twins – be...

The festival of Raksha Bandhan is one of the most awaited festivals for the Indians and the diaspora. The festival, which is celebrated on a full moon day during the Hindu month of Sawan, has a special place in the hearts of all the siblings and cousins.

Cinema, too, has given an ode to the festival in different forms, most notably in the form of relationship dynamics between the characters: a special scene which becomes the essence of storytelling or a song that outlives its artistes and the film itself.

As we celebrate Raksha Bandhan on Wednesday, here are 5 films that celebrate the spirit of this ocassion:

1. ‘Rakhi’: The film which was released in 1962 stars Raju (played by Ashok Kumar) and his little sister Radha (played by Waheeda Rehman) as orphaned siblings, who look after each other. However, in the course of the narrative, the two have a rift...

The 46-year-old Oklahoma woman is in India to get married to Jaipur man, Rishi. Jen and Rishi had met before the pandemic, during one of her India trips. Despite her not having liked him initially, Jen accepted Rishi’s proposal a month into the meeting. After two years of being separated by distance, Jen flew to India again.

However, 90 Day Fiancé star Jen Boechner was taken aback when she found out that Rishi’s family was already looking for brides for an arranged marriage.
