There was a time when Michael Caine was among the most macho people on the planet. When Sean Connery threw in the towel and stepped out of the Bond franchise in 1967, exhausted and fearful of typecasting, headhunters were on the prowl in search of the next Bond. This was the embarrassing period when the Australian actor George Lazenby awkwardly reprised the 007 role in..
It is sometimes comical to see how relatives react to an ailing person in the family, especially in a close-knit Indian family. There is a common belief that clan members must stay with a dying relative to aid them into the next world. In reality, the truth is far from this...
Look-alikes are not just a phenomena in fiction. I have seen look-alikes (if not 100%, then upto 90% at least, they were look-alikes). Hence I can safely say that look-alikes are a reality. Not just the twins and not just … Continue reading →.....

The girl in the Pulitzer-winning picture, Phan Thi Kim Phuc, was in Trảng Bàng, South Vietnam. North Vietnamese soldiers wer.....
This is a low-budget independent production in the vein of Vivek Agnihotri's 'The Files' series - Kashmir Files and Kerala Files. It may be a response to the many Christian evangelist films we have seen before. If those films try to ridicule some Hindu beliefs as archaic and nonsensical, this one questions Christians about their own scriptures...
Since the use of the hijab forms the core of the story, it is necessary, as an outsider, to comment on what I observe of the practice of hijab around me. What started as a means for upper-class women to drape their heads for protection against storms and as status symbols slowly evolved into a clan identity. In ancient Arabic culture, peasants and slaves did not wear headscarves. At first, h.....
Let us examine the films of the Pre-Code era. This period refers to movies released after the 1920s, when sound was introduced, transforming silent films into talkies. The Pre-Code films came to an end with the enactment of the Hays Code. What sets these movies apart is their frank depiction of contemporary issues without censorship, including women..
Sometimes, a filmmaker does not know exactly what he wants to make – a comedy or an actioner or an emotional drama. Such kind of confusion (naturally) renders its adverse effect to the product made by him. Ditto has happened … Continue reading →.....

It is said that the Vikings came like thunder on the seas in dragon-headed boats, slicing through the fog, with braided hair and axes oozing with legend. They came as raiders, traders and conquerors. The Viking Age, spanning from 793 CE to 1066 CE, was marked by bloodshed, bravery and superstition. Their presence was felt from North America through to Constantinople, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia...

Are your current bad times secondary to the karma from previous births? Is your repeated poor life choice innate? Just because mental illness runs in your family, you should not resign yourself to the fact that the black dog will bite you one day...

During my teenage years, one of my old relatives died. As close relatives, we, the children, had to show our faces. I distinctly remember that the day she died was the third day of the Chinese New Year. A huge crowd had gathered in front of her house. The deceased's family lived in one of the city council's closely knit houses provided to its staff...
