Movie releases or not, Bollywood is always abuzz with a lot of action.

So after Abhinav Kashyap's Besharam much hyped and eagerly awaited Besharam ended up as an assault on the viewers' senses, troublemakers over on Twitter reciprocated in kind when the hashtag #MoviesWorseThanBesharam went viral a day after the film's release.

Ekta Kapoor, while defending her epic flop Kahaani Hamaaray Mahaabhaarat Ki, said, "Can’t make anything without experimenting."

We'd like to know, what exactly is she experimenting with in her a couple of dozen odd television shows? Shades of lipstick? Necklines? The weight of lehengas her female protagonists sleep in?
