Mumbai, Feb 18: Victor Banerjee's brief role in Yash Raj Films' (Yrf) may have irked some of his colleagues and fans, but the acclaimed veteran actor defends it by saying that he has a "kitchen to run".
"Why did I do such a brief role? Simple! The truthful answer is I have a kitchen to run. Those who don't like me working in such films unfortunately won't contribute to an out-of-work actor's pension," said the 67-year-old.
"Besides, at the end of the day, all work is a challenge and therefore fun," added the Bengali actor, who has worked with the likes of David Lean, Satyajit Ray and Shyam Benegal.

When it comes to certain stars, the film makes money regardless of what the reviewer says. Then they start looking like small street dogs barking at a huge elephant: Shyam Benegal
Quite a few things in cinema transcend logic, and this is one of them. Films that stick like a bone in the throat of film reviewers go on to do phenomenal business at the box office (yes, we may be referring to Bodyguard) while films that are praised liberally are often left famished when it comes to making money. There seems to be a discord between filmmakers, film reviewers and the audience in the largest film-producing country of the world. What then is the role of a film reviewer and a film review in a space that is churning out all kinds of cinema parallely?
“Your reader has to know much more than whether the film is good or bad,...

Rivalry and oneupmanship are not peculiar to mainstream cinema. Offbeat filmmakers and actors are often locked in bitter battles of supremacy. During Smita Patil’s lifetime she was in a constant battle with Shabana Azmi, and the outspoken Mrinal Sen could never see eye to eye with Satyajit Ray.The latest arthouse battle seems to be between two prolific Hindi-Marathi actors-filmmaker Amole Palekar and Ananth Mahadevan. The two have a shared history of non-mainstream performances and directorial ventures. Lately Mahadevan scored a whopping whammy at the National ...

A bouquet of films from India, from different genres and regions, is being showcased at the 64th Locarno International Film Festival here in an effort to dispel the notion that the Indian film industry, one of the largest in the world, means just Bollywood song and dance. .The aim was to familiarise the Locarno audience and give them an overview of the development of Indian cinema. Now that.s very difficult when you think of what a vast country we are and to do it in about 13-15 films,. said Uma Da Cuna, programmer for the Indian films at the Open Doors section at the ongoing fest. .So I started with silent cinema .Prapancha Pash. (1929) by Franz Osten and from there we went progressively to Guru Dutt and Raj Kapoor. It can.t be a very comprehensive programme, but just enough to show over the decade what we were doing,...

Pitobash Tripathy
Think Pitobash Tripathy as Mandook in Shor in the City, or Raj Kumar Yadav in Love Sex Aur Dhoka and Ragini Mms. Or think Divyendu Sharma a.k.a Liquid in Pyaar ka Punchnama. Call it the “Indian New Wave” or the surge of new blood into Indian Cinema, the common thread that runs through it is that these youngsters have formally been trained in film schools before making their mark in the industry.
Love Express, the latest release of Mukta Searchlight Films marked the debut of 10 artists and technicians from Whistling Woods International Film School in Mumbai. Cycle Kick, another Subhash Ghai production which is scheduled for a release on June 17 features graduates from the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune in lead roles. Director-producer Subhash Ghai says, “How many stories can you write keeping stars in mind? If we have to tell new stories and entertain in a new fashion,...

Rekha
Rekha has turned down the Dada Saheb Phalke Award; Asha parekh will receive it instead
The Dada Saheb Phalke Academy is all set to host their 11th award function on May 3 and had pitched in the legendary Rekha for the Legendary Icon Cine Artiste Award. However, Rekha did not accede to the proposition. Rekha, who is famous for her onscreen mujras, wanted to perform at the event. Unfortunately, owing to space constraints, Rekha’s desire to perform at Bhaidas hall could not be fulfilled.
Asha Parekh
The hall has a 1000 seater capacity and a rather small stage. Ashok Shekhar, director of events of the Dadasaheb Phalke Academy, confirmed, “She (Rekha) wanted to perform at the awards but then the stage at Bhaidas is too small. Rekhaji will give away the Phalke Ratna award to Dharamji (Dharmendra).”
It has been decided that the event will be organized at Filmcity next year,...
