Hard as we may try to refrain from passing judgments while stating facts, several instances make it impossible for us to draw the line. Honestly, the array of reasons for which Bollywood folk have been put under the scanner of late has progressed from being strange to absurd. Now, however, they seem to be getting comical. Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s recently released track, Besharam rang has courted trouble in Madhya Pradesh, as the ruling and the opposition parties have objected to the use of a saffron costume worn by the latter. Nope, not kidding! The right wing Sanskriti Bachao Manch staged a protest stating, “This is an insult to our saffron dress”. The state’s home minister Narottam Mishra termed the costumes used in the song as “obscene and condemnable”.

“No amount of words can encapsulate the feelings for this film. [Directing] K3G was an absolute honour, solely because I had such a distinguished cast to direct on screen. That soon became a family off screen too. I’m still soaking in all the love it continues to give me — whether it is the music, dialogues, fashion or the emotions that rest with every family.”
Eye-opener!
South Indian films seem to be ruling the roost as nine out of 10 most popular Indian movies (2022) on the IMDb list are from southern states. Needless to say, SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus RRR — starring Ram Charan and NTR Jr — landed the top spot. Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files, the only Hindi language film on the list, followed in the second position. “RRR is a tale of friendship which everyone can relate to, told in a style that’s inspired by ancient Indian storytelling and is a film I hold very close to my heart,” Rajamouli said of the win. The third place was grabbed by the Yash-starrer KGF: Chapter 2, followed by Vikram, which starred the heavyweights of Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu cinema — Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, Fahad Faasil and Suriya.

Ranbir’s comments criticised
Ranbir Kapoor faced flak for expressing his interest in collaborating with Pakistani artistes. Speaking at an ongoing film festival, he addressed a question on his desire to feature in a Pakistani film. “Of course, sir. I think there are no boundaries for artistes, especially for arts. Many congratulations to the Pakistan film industry for [the film] The Legend of Maula Jatt. It is one of the biggest hits we have seen in the last few years. Of course, I would love to.” As it would be expected, netizens began to troll the actor. “How shallow their patriotism is. For money, kuch bhi (sic),” wrote one user. Another added, “It appears, he has got a film offer from Pakistan and wants to see how people will react to the news.”
