Mansoor Khan reveals Aamir Khan rewrote the climax of Ek Din When asked whether he had any difference of opinion with Aamir over Ek Din, Mansoor said, “Today, I’m not that clued in, as I don’t watch films. But I still have my sensibilities intact. I believe in dealing with certain scenes with restraint rather than going over the top. I have a fairly good sense of story. I told them: I have come to help you. What I feel strongly about, I will tell you.” He further added, “Like we shot a song towards the end of Ek Din in Japan. Aamir saw the rushes and said that the girl …

Comedian-turned-actor-turned director: Vir Das has added another feather to his colourful hat. His directorial debut, Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos, hit the screens today. And if the early reviews are any indication, it is just as zany and crazy as his comedy. Vir Das in a still from his film, Happy Patel. On the eve of the film’s release, Vir spoke to HT about donning the director’s hat, why he chose to make a spy comedy, and reuniting with Aamir Khan and Imran Khan. Excerpts: HT: Over the years, you have donned many hats, from comedian to writer, and actor. How did director happen? Vir Das: Co-director, to clarify. Kavi Shastri and I make everything together. For the longest time, this script lived in our heads. Being a director is the closest thing to being a stand-up comic you can imagine. As a stand-up, you control the lighting, the vibe, every word of content, and the performance. As an actor, you have to submit to someone else’s vision. Being a director is the closest experience to …

Redefining stardom: How Deepika Padukone rewrote the role of Bollywood’s leading lady

Redefining stardom: How Deepika Padukone rewrote the role of Bollywood’s leading lady

Published by Parlour News

Deepika Padukone – who turns 40 today – didn’t enter the showbiz industry to be a leading lady. Slowly, and almost deliberately, she rewrote the rulebook. For a long time in Bollywood, the concept of a leading lady came with ready-made rulebook. She was expected to look perfect, romance the hero flawlessly, and have nothing much to add when the plot demanded either heroism or emotional depth. Then arrived Deepika Padukone! Slowly, but with consistent efforts, she rewrote the rulebook. But did she change thing overnight? No. Deepika made her Bollywood debut with Om Shanti Om in the most traditional way. She looked beautiful, elegant, and was comfortably put in a male-star-driven story. But what really gave her an edge over others was intent. She didn’t find comfort in playing safe versions of herself. Instead, she made conscious efforts to take up different roles and stretch limits of what a typical heroine could actually do and lead. For instance, consider Cocktail. The film – which had released in 2012 – is often referred to …

When Two Aamir Khan Movies Rewrote Box Office History

When Two Aamir Khan Movies Rewrote Box Office History

Published by Parlour News

December 25 is usually remembered for festive cheer. But in the history of Hindi cinema, the date carries another legacy; it marks the rare moment when a single superstar, in two consecutive years, took the box office by storm with films that could not have been more different in tone or treatment. One was a gritty revenge saga driven by rage and physicality. The other was a warm, funny, thought-provoking drama that questioned the meaning of success. Together, they altered not just earnings charts but the very storytelling grammar of mainstream Bollywood. (News18 Hindi) The two films were Ghajini (2008) and 3 Idiots (2009), both headlined by Aamir Khan. Released exactly a year apart, and coincidentally on Christmas, the films travelled to opposite ends of the emotional spectrum yet converged at the same point; massive commercial success and cultural impact. (News18 Hindi) Ghajini arrived first, an intense psychological action-thriller inspired by its Tamil namesake. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the film told the story of Sanjay Singhania, a wealthy businessman suffering from short-term memory loss who …

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Saturday said that prolonging the conflict with Pakistan is not the biggest priority for India right now, while dismissing the comparisons between former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s actions in the 1971 war with those of the current escalation after Operation Sindoor. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has denied any comparison between 1971 war and 2025 Operation Sindoor aftermath.

Indira Gandhi rewrote the map of the subcontinent, but the circumstances were different. Bangladesh was fighting a moral cause, and liberating Bangladesh was a clear objective. Just keeping on firing shells at Pakistan is not a clear objective,” Tharoor was quoted by ANI news agency as saying. He said that prolonging the conflict would have resulted in many deaths on both sides. “Today’s Pakistan is a different situation. Their military equipment and the damage they can do are different. Bangladesh was fighting …

When Robert Downey Jr. Rewrote Iron Man’s Final Line In The Avengers

Published by Webster

Here’s The Iron Man Line Robert Downey Jr. Wrote For The Avengers (Photo Credit – Instagram) Robert Downey Jr. had a habit of making Tony Stark’s lines snappier, and The Avengers was no exception. The film originally had Stark waking up after nearly dying and asking, “What’s next?” But RDJ wasn’t having it. Joss Whedon, who had already reworked Zak Penn’s script, scribbled out multiple new versions in a notebook, trying to find the perfect fit. But even with those revisions, Downey still wasn’t satisfied. The actor wanted something lighter, more offbeat. That’s when he threw in a completely random suggestion: Shawarma. A throwaway joke? Hardly. The improvised line made the final cut and led to one of the most iconic post-credits scenes in Marvel history. At a press conference – just days after The Avengers‘ Hollywood premiere – Robert Downey Jr. casually let slip that the cast was reuniting that night to film an extra scene. Whedon had realized the shawarma gag had comedic potential if they actually showed the Avengers following through on …
