Karisma Kapoor on 35 years of debut film Prem Qaidi: ‘I was straight out of school’ | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

Karisma Kapoor has completed 35 years in the film industry today. Her debut movie, K Murali Mohana Rao’s musical drama Prem Qaidi released on June 21, 1991. Karisma was just 16 when she starred opposite Harish, who was a year younger than her. The actor can’t believe it’s been 35 years, and shares the memories of her first film with SCREEN in an exclusive interview. “My first movie released four days before my 17th birthday. So, I was straight out of school. I went to junior college for a few days, and then I was straight on the set of Prem Qaidi. I do remember the mahurat shot also. Time has flown by really fast,” says Karisma. One of the early challenges of facing the camera in the early 1990s, she recalls, was to face the scorching light that accompanied action. “The lighting was very harsh. We used to struggle to barely open our eyes,” adds the actor. Since then, she’s witnessed several technical changes happen in moviemaking, including the transition from film to digital …

Lagaan and Gadar Ek Prem Katha: 25 years later, have we become more violent? | Bollywood News

Published by Parlour News

It’s been 25 years since I saw Lagaan in a theatre in Chennai. I still vividly remember cheering and clapping as if I was watching a real cricket match and shedding tears when Bhuvan’s (Aamir Khan) rag-tag team of inexperienced villagers defeated the British team from the cantonment that rules over several villages in the region. Interestingly, on the same day that Lagaan released, that is the 15th of June 2001, Gadar: Ek Prem Katha was also released in movie theatres. It was our own Barbenheimer moment when films starring two mainstream stars, Aamir Khan and Sunny Deol, released in theatres on the same day. Each film came with its own risks. Lagaan had a very unusual story that had never been explored on the big screen before. The film also had no recognisable stars or actors apart from Aamir Khan and veteran actor Kulbhushan Kharbanda. Gadar, a love story set in post-Partition India and Pakistan, had the colour palette and production values of 90’s Bollywood cinema and television. Its leading lady was a relative …

4 min readHyderabadApr 29, 2026 09:02 PM IST It took less than 48 hours for Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke to go from a promotional release to a banned track. In the weeks since, the song from KD: The Devil has attracted NHRC notices, a parliamentary debate, a public disavowal from performer Nora Fatehi, and summons from the National Commission for Women. At a press conference held with the film’s team, Kichcha Sudeep became the most prominent voice to stand beside director Prem through all of it, arguing that the director’s record in Kannada cinema deserves more weight than a single disputed song. At a recent press conference held with the film’s team, Kichcha Sudeep was asked about the controversy surrounding Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke, the Hindi version of the song featuring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt that drew a wall of criticism for its sexually explicit lyrics. Rather than distancing himself from the episode, Sudeep chose to speak in defence of the man who directed the film and wrote the original Kannada lyrics. He pointed …
