The amazing people at Dharmatic Entertainment and Disney+ Hotstar thought that it was a genuinely great idea to release a show called Showtime, starring Emraan Hashmi and Mahima Makwana, in two parts. The first four episodes were released in March, and the next three episodes were released in July. For some reason, if you did watch it and remember nothing about it, there’s a detailed explainer for Part 1 that you can read. Here’s the not-so-detailed version: Prior to his death, the founder of Viktory Studios, Viktor Khanna, revealed that he had an affair back in the day, and his “illegitimate” granddaughter was an up-and-coming film critic, Mahika Nandy.
In addition to that, Viktor’s will stated that Mahika was going to be the owner of Viktory Studios, not his son, Raghu Khanna. That obviously led to a lot of mud-slinging. Mahika tried to make a film called 1857 with Armaan Singh,...

Raghu Ram On How Roadies Ruined His Married Life (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Let’s be honest: many of us had our guilty pleasure in watching Roadies’ auditions. Back in those golden days, the show was a real dose of entertainment, and our beloved judges – Raghu Ram, Rajiv Lakshman, and Rannvijay Singha – entertained us over the years. Unfortunately, several years back, the deadly twin duo of Raghu and Rajiv stepped away as the judges, and it was possibly the biggest shock for the fans.
The duo of Raghu and Rajiv were known for their blunt opinion, unconventional thoughts, and abusive language. Due to these very reasons, the duo had to face a lot in real life, too, and there’s a particular section of the audience that hates them even today. Now, in a recent interview, Raghu revealed that the show left him mentally disturbed, leading to a damage to his married life.

Defining an independent film goes beyond financial considerations to encompass creative freedom, narrative innovation, distribution methods, and a commitment to artistic intent. Independent filmmaking thrives on the passion and vision of filmmakers determined to tell unique stories that challenge and captivate audiences. The following ten examples demonstrate how the cinematic landscape of India continues to evolve; the definition of independent film will likely remain fluid, reflecting the dynamic nature of a medium that constantly pushes boundaries and defies easy categorization. While preparing this list, I considered films that had their world premiere at various film festivals around the world this year.

There was one occasion when Dev Anand, forced to quit a blue-collar job he depended on for sustenance, ripped his elder brother Chetan Anand of Rs (the then) princely sum of Rs 5,000 to launch a less than moral venture, and if this was not enough, began wooing the girl his younger brother Vijay ‘Goldie’ Anand fancied, and eventually in luring her away.
If these sordid revelations shock you, do not think too badly of Dev Anand. For all this did not happen in real life, but in reel life, in the social romantic comedy “Kala Bazaar” (1960), which has several distinctions to its credit but chiefly stands out for being the only film in which all the three Anand brothers acted together.
While Chetan Anand had directed the early Dev Anand films, he had sought to branch out on his own after “Taxi Driver” (1954) to indulge in his own creativity, and...

New Delhi, July 20 (Ians) A team of doctors in Bengaluru has successfully performed the world’s first minimally invasive (keyhole) cardiac surgery on a Bangladeshi man with heart on the right side of his chest, called dextrocardia, instead of the normal left.
Dextrocardia is a rare congenital heart defect, in which the heart is in an abnormal position in the chest. It occurs in 1 in 10,000 people.
The patient Yeashin Bhuiyan, 47, was suffering from complex triple vessel disease — an extreme form of coronary artery disease (Cad), which happens when coronary arteries struggle to supply the heart with enough blood, oxygen and nutrients.
Bhuiyan successfully underwent coronary artery bypass surgery (Cabg) at Narayana Health City, Bengaluru, where doctors performed the procedure by making a small incision on the right side of the chest, making this the first of its kind ever performed in the world.

AnalysisFrom the threat of undesirable interactions with the wildlife that endanger their lives to the systemic tribal acculturation to Hinduism, there is much more to the lives of Kattunayakars than caring for gentle elephant calves, writes Nithya Pandian.ScreengrabIn an interview with the Mid-Day around two months ago, filmmaker Kartiki Gonsalves said she wanted to “give the indigenous people of the forest a voice,” and “capture their symbiotic relationship with their habitat” through her Oscar-winning documentary short The Elephant Whisperers. She also wanted to focus on the positives alone, she said, since “every story talked about man-animal conflicts.” As a developmental journalist who has been reporting on the concerns of indigenous communities in Nilgiris and Anamalai for years, I wonder how difficult it must have been to handpick these positives from an otherwise overwhelmingly negative situation, that holds little hope for tribal emancipation.

Kartiki, who has been a natural history photographer and can conjure up haunting frames with her composition (one look at her Instagram will leave you floored), made her debut with the short film, a short film which took five years in the making. But, all good things take time and when they come to fruition, the world witnesses their power.
Kartiki is hopeful that this win will push many aspiring filmmakers to tell the story that they yearn to tell. She shared with Ians, “I hope this paves the way for young filmmakers who are scared about not having the funding to make a film. I would tell them, just go out there with the conviction of telling the stories that you want to tell to the world and things will fall into place.

Bellie, the woman who raised baby elephant Raghu in the Oscar winning short documentary “The Elephant Whisperers’, has said that she was earlier apprehensive at the prospect.
Bellie and Bomman were recently felicitated by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin.
Talking to the media at a post-Oscars celebration event, Belli said in Tamil: “I was really apprehensive of raising Raghu earlier because I knew that one day Raghu will have to go in the wild, the world where he belongs.”
“To take any child away from a mother is not a painful experience to say the least. But when I came to know that Raghu’s mother had passed away, I couldn’t say no to being with him. How could you say no to such a beautiful baby?”
“The Elephant Whisperers” is streaming on Netflix.
