Subhash K Jha revisits 2007 and the zany film Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd, which starred the brilliant cast of Abhay Deol, Minissha Lamba, Shabana Azmi, Boman Irani, Kay Kay Menon, Raima Sen, Karan Khanna, Sandhya Mridul, Vikram Chatwal, Ameesha Patel, and Dia Mirza.
Reema Kagti’s debut film Honeymoon Travels Pvt Ltd has enough chutzpah to keep you purring at the blend of parody and pathos. Once you get into the narrative groove of these imperfectly matched couples riding into a hectic, hilarious honeymoon in Goa, you’re in for a minor treat. The six couples are joined at the hip and the lip by some commanding inflexions that bind the people in a tongue that’s easy to identify… provided you’ve ever been married. Even if you haven’t been on a honeymoon, get a load of these feisty honeymooners, feasting on the first flush of love, romance, sex,...

Barry Humphries has been admitted to hospital with “serious health problems” after a major surgery, reports claim.
The comedian, 89, was admitted to hospital in Sydney this week following complications with a recent hip replacement surgery, Australian news outlets report.
Appearing on Sunrise on Channel Seven on Wednesday (19 April), journalist Peter Ford said that there were “serious concerns” for Humphries, who is currently surrounded by his loved ones in hospital.
“At this moment Barry is [in] a serious condition but being kept comfortable. He’s surrounded by family,” Ford said, adding that a statement would be shared with the media imminently.
The reporter said that things were looking “tough” for Humphries – best known for his drag alter-ego Dame Edna Everage – but that he had a “fantastic” team of medical professionals supporting him.
“I reckon Barry has a fighting spirit and he’s not going to give up easily,” he said.

Succession viewers have joked that a debate stemming from the show’s latest episode is the new version of “the dress”.
HBO’s hit drama is currently airing its fourth and final season, which has already seen plenty of explosive plot moments.
*Succession spoilers below – you have been warned*
After the shocking death of Logan Roy (Brian Cox) in episode three, episode four saw the family dealing with the aftermath and considering what happens to Waystar Royco next.
Only adding to the confusion, Frank (Peter Friedman) produces a document, partially written in pencil and never shown to Logan’s lawyers, suggesting that Kendall (Jeremy Strong) should succeed him.
Kendall’s name has been underlined, but his siblings Roman (Kieran Culkin) and Shiv (Sarah Snook) qucikly point out that the clumsily drawn line could have been Logan crossing it out.

Rachel McAdams has revealed the astonishing slew of hit movies she turned down while on a two-year hiatus in the 2000s.
In 2006, McAdams was being hailed as “the next Julia Roberts” after breaking out in beloved films such as Mean Girls and The Notebook.
However, after refusing to appear nude for a Vanity Fair cover shoot alongside Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley that year, McAdams flew home to Canada.
She “spent her time biking around Toronto, spending time with her family, and recentering,” according to a new interview with Bustle.
According to the magazine, McAdams turned down five major films while “recentering” between 2006 and 2008:The Devil Wears Prada, Casino Royale, Mission: Impossible III, Iron Man, and Get Smart.
“There’s certainly things like ‘I wish I’d done that,’” McAdams said. “[But] I step back and go, ‘That was the right person for that.’”
All five films went on to be box office smashes,...

Adolfo “Shabba Doo” Quiñones, the dancer-actor who rose to fame starring in “Breakin'” and its sequel “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo,” died Wednesday. He was 65.
No cause of death has been announced. Just a day before he was discovered unconscious, Quiñones had posted a photo of himself smiling and giving the peace sign in bed, writing, “Good news y’all! I’m feeling all better, just a wee bit sluggish from my cold, but the good news is I’m Covid 19 negative! Woo hoo!”
Besides appearing in the “Breakin'” films, both in 1984, he had a featured role on the big screen in “Lambada” in 1990. Prior to taking to the movies, Quiñones was already a part of pop culture history for choreographing and appearing in Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long” video.

I’m not American, but that doesn’t matter.
Living in Melbourne, Australia, means I have spent a large amount of the year in a strict lockdown. But I am extremely thankful that we have a leader who did something about that and now we’re back out in the world and I have been able watch Mank and Ammonite in cinemas this last week. Here’s some other things I am personally thankful for in the world of movies and entertainment that kept me sane in 2020:
The Film Experience, “It’s fashion”; The Invisible Man; having a new Scream movie to obsess over; Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets; Kristen Johnson as director; Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny; “Oh, the fracking?”; that tracking shot in The Vast of Night; the rest of The Vast of Night; randomly remembering that The Forbidden Dance and Lambada were made by rival producer...

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released its annual list of invited new members, and it’s clear they’re continuing to try to make their membership younger. On the list alongside veterans like John Hawkes and David Duchovny are a slew of twentysomethings, including Mia Wasikowska, Ellen Page, Jesse Eisenberg, Mila Kunis, Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Lawrence, and Rooney Mara. The Board of Governors also decided to extend an invitation to Restrepo codirector Tim Hetherington, the first time Academy membership has been bestowed posthumously. As a side note, it’s also a hoot to now say the phrase Oscar voter Russell Brand.
