Movies: Legendary Bollywood Villain Pran Gets Dadasaheb Phalke Award!
Pran—a name that
terrorized us as little kids; a name that we loved to adore as we grew older
and a name that has remained with us till now and forever. We were struck with
awe by his villainous portrayals and yet we could not stop liking him—his gait,
his style of talking, his looks, his smart dress code and the eternal cigarette
in his hands. That time we were not capable of judging him as an actor, but the
way he kept us spellbound was only due to his intensely powerful and effective
performances. Since we loved him so much even as a villain we longed to see him
as a good guy on the side of the fighting-for-truth hero. And, we got that
hugely satisfying and gratifying experience too.
Pran Krishan Sikand (born 1920) turned 93 in February this year and yesterday, the 12th of April, 2013, he was chosen for the supreme honour of Indian cinema—the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for 2012. Maybe a little late as the classic Bollywood actor is almost unable to walk around or talk articulately. But…

Big B and King Khan in Kaun Banega Crorepati!
Amitabh Bachchan, the host of the current version of Kaun Banega Crorepati, invited Shahrukh King Khan for a special show yesterday, the 20th of October, 2011. Running for nearly two hours the show had everything the great Twosome was capable of delivering, acting, enacting and just talking.
Basically King Khan came to the show as a publicity stunt for his forthcoming science fiction movie Ra..0ne (meaning Random Access-Version 1.0). But once on the hot seat one has to play. And, Shahrukh played on with his customary wit and presence of mind matched equally point to point by Big B and won 5 million rupees for charity. The invited audience had a treat of lifetime seeing two huge favorites playing it out right before them.
They taunted each other, made jibes at each other and also exchanged seats for brief while. Shahrukh even walked up to Big B and massaged his back trying to catch a view of the host's monitor screen while telling how the massage eases up tension to play the game b…

Look Before You...Invite Amitabh Bachchan!
You invite a celebrity because s/he is a celebrity. Because s/he has accomplishments to make you proud and to add grace to your event.
No longer valid in India that is wonder. Just don't even bother about her/his national or international acclaim. Just concentrate on which caste s/he is born with, which religion s/he adheres to, which language s/he speaks and what are her/his political affiliations. Have the final assessment based on these parameters and decide whether to invite or not to invite.
As the Bandra-Worli Sea Link event controversy in Mumbai still rages on you must put things in focus.
Political parties in India always talk about national integration, but when it comes to integrity they bother only about their own party priorities. They stop recognizing the existence of different states within the wonder that is India, the existence of different languages, cultures or religions, the existence of the fundamental rights of freedom of expression and opinion and event t…
