Three years after her husband passes away, the widow of the Patriarch of a famous Namboodiri (Brahmin caste from Kerala) family becomes pregnant. The prestige of the family is paramount and the Namboodiris have devised a way to get the family out of this so-called sticky situation with their respect intact. Learned Namboodiris from all over the land would assemble at the house and conduct an enquiry into what happened and all who were responsible. All the while, the family needs to treat these esteemed guests to daily feasts and monetary allowances. In the end, the woman who brought disgrace to the family would be ostracised and left at the mercy of lechers who wait at the gates.
Though it might seem cruel and matter-of-fact, making a motion picture about such a topic is not easy, as it should make sense to the intellect, be aesthetic and challenge status quo.

It's known to all and sundry that director Sooraj R. Barjatya and actor Salman Khan have teamed up for Rajshri's forthcoming venture. According to reports in the media, the film is titled Bade Bhaiya, with Salman essaying the title role. The film marks the return of Salman to family dramas -- and Rajshri -- after back to back comedies and action films. "First of all, I wish to clarify that the film is *not* titled Bade Bhaiya," the normally reticent Sooraj R. Barjatya informs me. Speaking exclusively to this writer, the director of super-successful films such as Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Koun, Hum Saath-saath Hain and Vivah says that his new film will follow the tradition of Rajshri movies. "It's about familial bonding, about relationships and traditions. I've already completed scripting the film. We begin filming next year," the soft-spoken director divulges. Barring Salman, no other actor has...

There was a time in the Hindi film industry when idealism was highly valued. From Guru Dutt’s Pyaasa to V. Shantaram’s Do Aankhen Baarah Haath, from Mehboob Khan’s Mother India to Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s Satyakam, the protaganists were people who lived and died for their ideals. Their idealism was stubborn even though it gave them great personal pain.
Things started changing in the 70s when the hardships of stubborn idealism gave birth to personal frustration in the new generation – which found an outlet in the angry young man persona. At the same time, the hippy culture was bringing in a new wave of individualism. The youngsters of the era started turning rebels which was well captured by Raj Kapoor in Bobby, which had teenage lovers rejecting their parents authority and eloping. However the idealism was not totally lost, as the older generation held on to it. Film...

The loving mums, the stable dads, the annoying sisters and the protective brothers; Bollywood films are jam-packed with them. However, in true tradition, these relationships bring with them the trusted grandparents, the aunts, the uncles and the cousins without whom, one has to admit, a big fat Bollywood family would be incomplete. We enjoy the laughs and the shared experiences that these families have to put smiles on our faces and we also feel sadness in our hearts in their pain and disagreements. This week we’ve hand-picked some of the films which make us want to be part of an extended family.
Quite possibly one of the first songs which come to mind when thinking about families is from the film Hum (1991): Ek dusre se karte hai pyar hum. It signifies all that we love about the families of Bollywood. The film’s plot was centred on a man,...

Amrita Rao (Photo: Luv Israni)
Though she made her debut in 2002 in Ab Ke Baras, it was Ken Ghosh?s Ishq Vishq that got her visibility. But it was only four years later in 2006 that the Rajshri Film Vivah made people sit up and take notice of Amrita Rao.
This week Amrita will be seen in her second Rajshri Productions film. On the eve of the release of Love U?Mr Kalakaar the petite 29 year old talks to Udita Jhunjhunwala
This is your second film with Rajshri Productions, after Vivah. How different was it working with a newcomer director, S. Manasvi?
It was not very different. Fortunately Manasvi shares very similar notions and ideas to Sooraj Barjatya?s, so he was almost like an extension of Sooraj ji which was lovely. The crew was very young, so it was like a picnic on the set. We never felt pressure to deliver,...

"I'm really looking forward to working with Shahid," says Kunal Kohli. The director tweeted on Sunday morning: "Shahid Kapoor and me working together in my next film. Will hopefully sign the heroine in the next few days. Will keep you posted." The yet untitled film will be starting in April once Shahid wraps up the shooting for Mausam. Kohli will be producing-directing the film. Kunal's film with Shahid is a love story and will have music by Pritam while Prasoon Joshi is writing lyrics. Has he finalized the actress? "I haven't decided the actress. I wouldn't want to speculate as I don't believe in it. I will tell you once it's finalized. We've just finalized Shahid. He was going away to Punjab to shoot Mausam and I was releasing Break Ke Baad. In the middle of it we finalized and signed." Kohli had earlier announced a film with Saif Ali Khan.
