Superstar’s cousin became a 70s heartthrob after 2 hits, later vanished from Bollywood: Where is Tariq Khan now?

Published by Webster

He was one of Bollywood’s most recognisable young stars of the 1970s, winning over audiences with his boyish charm, dancing skills and hit songs. After making a striking debut and following it up with another successful film, he seemed destined for a long innings as a leading man. Yet, at the peak of his career, the actor chose to step away from Bollywood and explore an entirely different path. Aamir Khan’s cousin Tariq Khan left Bollywood after not getting substantial work. Tariq Khan’s Bollywood journey Tariq Khan comes from a family with deep roots in Hindi cinema. He is the son of Azhar Ali Khan, who was married to Anzie Khan, the sister of Nasir Hussain and Tahir Hussain, who produced several notable films. He is also the cousin of superstar Aamir Khan and filmmaker Mansoor Ali Khan, making him part of one of Bollywood’s best-known film families. While Tariq’s father wanted him to become a doctor, the actor was never too interested in academics. He was interested in films and, instead of directly giving …

Like Karan Johar with rom-coms, Bruno Mars brings to life another 70s disco hit with ‘I Just Might’ | Hollywood News

Published by Parlour News

It isn’t Liberace, but it’s catchy as hell. I have said that sentence about Bruno Mars’ songs since I was in the 10th grade, and this man is delivering to this day. Mars is soon about to come out with his latest album, Romance, which is releasing on February 27, and he has just released the first single, ‘I Just Might’. Okay — no matter how chipper a person you are, you can’t listen to disco songs all day, or even some days of the week. But just like ‘Hot Stuff’ grew on Matt Damon in the Ridley Scott movie The Martian, Mars (a lovely coincidence) keeps releasing disco hits which you can’t help but move your head to. See, I like ‘serious music’ as much as the next guy, but sometimes you need a track that you can listen to without focusing on the lyrics, the time signature changes, and the fact that the singer was balancing herself on a tightrope while singing the G7 note, the highest note ever sung by your favourite …

Movie Review: A real-life ’70s hostage drama crackles in Gus Van Sant’s ‘Dead Man’s Wire’

Movie Review: A real-life ’70s hostage drama crackles in Gus Van Sant’s ‘Dead Man’s Wire’

Published by Parlour News

It plays a little loose with facts but the righteous rage of “Dog Day Afternoon” is present enough in Gus Van Sant’s “Dead Man’s Wire,” a based-on-a-true-tale hostage thriller that’s as deeply 1970s as it is contemporary. Movie Review: A real-life ’70s hostage drama crackles in Gus Van Sant’s ‘Dead Man’s Wire’ In February 1977, Tony Kiritsis walked into the Meridian Mortgage Company in downtown Indianapolis and took one of its executives, Dick Hall, hostage. Kiritsis held a sawed-off shotgun to the back of Hall’s head and draped a wire around his neck that connected to the gun. If he moved too much, he would die. The subsequent standoff moved to Kiritsis’ apartment and eventually concluded in a live televised news conference. The whole ordeal received some renewed attention in a 2022 podcast dramatization starring Jon Hamm. But in “Dead Man’s Wire,” starring Bill Skarsgård as Kiritsis, these events are vividly brought to life by Van Sant. It’s been seven years since Van Sant directed, following 2018’s “Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot,” …

The director, known for films like “Aamir”, “No One Killed Jessica”, has huge posters of iconic films “Deewar” and “Sholay” in his office in suburban Mumbai but the inspirations behind the “Raid” movies were far more varied. “There were a lot of films in the ’70s and ’80s, where upright characters were fighting people who were corrupt or who were going against the law. There are a lot of films that inspired us. I will not want to name any particular film. “So, this upright officer was intended to be like that of the ’70s and ’80s movies,” Gupta told PTI in an interview. The inspiration …
