It’s a common misconception that Hollywood is at the top of everything sci-fi. Ever since the ’40s, Japan has actually dominated this field, both in the live-action and animated mediums. China has been making great strides in the genre too. And then there’s the South Korean entertainment industry that’s at the forefront of everything that’s synonymous with the genre. But, as the Asian country that makes the most number of films in a year, India has always fallen short for some reason or another. Yes, even the ones that we consider to be “good” are because we are nostalgic about them, not because they’re qualitatively superior to their peers. That said, recently, I feel that we’re making some competent stuff in the form of Baar Baar Dekho, Churuli, Minnal Murali, and Ayalaan. And, I guess for the first time ever, the Hindi entertainment industry...

Mumbai, March 26 (Ians) Actor Deepak Dobriyal has talked about playing a negative character in the Ajay Devgn-starrer ‘Bholaa’ and revealed the female actor with whom he would love to share screen space in movies.

Deepak said: “Every actor tries to explore different styles of acting to hone their skills and hence I wanted to play this character. To get into the character, for almost a year I sort of changed my personality just to fit into the character better. So, I had stopped saying sorry, thank you, or greeting anyone, and this made me appear slightly more aggressive. But this doesn’t change the fact that I am a kind person, but when it comes to the role, I have to embody the character’s traits.”

“On screen, I would like to have a romantic relationship with Tabu ji. She is such a talented and fun actress. My film...

 A new breed of filmmakers is now busy turning the tables on the fourth estate with movies like 'Paa' and 'Rann'. Incidentally, both star Amitabh Bachchan who often takes potshots at the media in real life.Promos of director Ram Gopal Varma's 'Rann' clearly suggest he is making an attempt to expose errant journalists and their often wanton ways, particularly those from the electronic media.'No one is taking the media head-on here.

2008 was an eventful year for Amrita Rao. She started off with ‘My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves’ which in spite of not doing well at the box office at the least helped showcase a different (read ultra glam) side of hers. A special appearance in ‘Shaurya’ followed but the role was so small that it went relatively unnoticed. However, she bounced back with ‘Welcome To Sajjanpur’ where in her ‘gaon ki gori’ role, she went on to win hearts all over again. From a village setting, she graduated to playing a small time girl in ‘Victory’ which is now finally.

She is someone who can quintessentially and uniquely mirror the term 'Being hot yet living cool' in an apt fashion, for she is none other than Bollywood's very own prized kitten Minissha Lamba, who also happens to be our Birthday girl of the day (January 18th). Her flawlessly famous face, that has graced the cover of numerous magazines and newspapers, also has launched over a million ships (read 'products'). For starters, this 'Beauty on a duty' started out as the cute looking Kashmiri girl 'Ada' in Shoojit Sircar's Yahaan. She showcased her acting skills in films like Corporate, Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. and Shaurya. With Bachna Ae Haseeno, she graduated to the next level…only to show her sexy side in Kidnap. She is someone whom the common man identifies as easily as the hot looking girl next door! Any amount of praises will fall short to describe this heavenly beauty.

Minissha Lamba who tried her best to sizzle in a bikini in ‘Kidnap’ says she loves the idea of watching a film in a single screen theater. She reportedly loves it when audiences whistle at strategic moments.

Reportedly when ‘Kidnap’ was released, the actress took her friends to an old theater in Mumbai to experience what she thinks is the real fun.

The ‘Shaurya’ and ‘Bachna Ae Haseeno’ lass says she doesn’t know how to whistle, but she got very excited when people started whistling when she came out in her bikini-clad.
