The hits and misses of the week.
'The day I am bored with acting, I will shift to something.'
From kicks to cuts, Subhash K Jha gives the latest Bollywood buzz...
The films that mattered: Here's looking at the half yearly box office report of 2017.
'I don't have a family member in the industry and haven't been launched opposite a superstar. I don't have multiple film deals with any studio. It's difficult because I have to prove myself with every film.' Yet, Taapsee Pannu is one of the the busiest actresses in Bollywood.
Happy birthday, Manish Malhotra! His friend wish him a happy 50th birthday.
'It is great that I am making this film after 20 years with my son.' 'People loved some 8 to 10 scenes in the original and we have got some of it in this film.'
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly at the movies!
'I have a goal that one day, before audiences walk into a theatre, they will think that it's a Taapsee Pannu film and so, it will be worth their time and money.'
'When a girl, travelling alone with her headphones on and listening to music, reaches home safely, that will be the success for me.' PINK producer Shoojit Sircar and his team thanks everyone for making his film a success.
We look at 52 of them, spread over 52 Fridays, in a two-part special. Here's the first part.
'We are not in the crore game, at least not me.' 'So when I do a film, I do it purely on its merit, where I think we will go ahead and make a fantastic film.'
'Bollywood runs on the idea of age.' 'The moment you're single, even if you're 40, you're still appealing, you're still young.' 'The moment you're married, even if you're 25, it's uh huh. She's not sexy anymore.'
'Doing a biopic on Irom Sharmila is too big a responsibility. I have to analyse a lot of other things before I take that up. I don't want to face the backlash it will get if I do that role. This is the best time to be an actor.' Taapsee Pannu up, close and personal.
'Disney is presenting Black Panther as Manoj Muntashir's film.' 'Such a big studio, a billion dollar film is being released as Manoj Muntashir's film.' 'It is in the same space of Baahubali, which I wrote.' 'The film has got a kingdom, kings, treachery... things which are very much up my alley.'
'The 17-year-old boy, who pulled out Nirbhaya's intestines, should have got the harshest punishment because he was not human at the time.' 'Instead, he was given a sewing machine and some money to have a new beginning!' 'Are we giving out incentives?' 'Are we telling our unemployed youth that if they do something like this, the government will give them jobs?'
