The passing of the State Government of India’s new law to increase the age limit for alcohol consumption to 25 stirred up a whirlwind of opposition from the youth. And one in particular was the industry’s very own Imran Khan, who had announced that he would file a PIL against the new law.

Incidentally, the law was passed a little before the release of Delhi Belly. However, Imran, who is busy with the promotions of his next film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, has yet to act on his words.

It has been more than a month and a half and a honeymoon later, but the actor asserts that he has not forgotten to attend to the issue.

Mausam similar to Titanic???

Shahid Kapoor’s fans can’t wait for the release of his film, Mausam which is directed by papa Pankaj Kapur. Shahid as Harry and Sonam Kapoor as Aayat, the duo share an awesome chemistry on screen.

The recent poster of the film, launched by the makers, has Shahid holding Sonam’s hand and the two are lost into each other. The poster is simply mesmerizing but after three to four glances at it, it looked like we have seen the same poster somewhere else, too.

Well, the poster of Mausam is so so so similar to the poster of Titanic. It had the same effect of that of the Mausam poster. Sonam Kapoor’s outfit and hairstyle has so much resemblance to that of Kate Winslet.

‘Aarakshan’ about controversial reservation policies (Preview)

After exploring the dark underbelly of the political world, filmmaker Prakash Jha returns with yet another realistic film based on the sensitive issue of caste-based reservations – “Aarakshan” – releasing Friday.

Aarakshan 200x200

Directed by Jha and co-produced by Prakash Jha Productions and Firoz A. Nadiadwala, the film is a socio-political drama based on one of the most controversial policies of caste-based reservations in government jobs and educational institutions.

The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Manoj Bajpayee, Deepika Padukone and Prateik and was shot in 55 days in Bhopal.

Set in the backdrop of Bhopal, “Aarakshan” is about Prabhakar Anand (Amitabh), an idealistic principal of a college that is considered to be the state’s best educational institution.

Prabhakar has a loyal student Deepak Kumar (Saif), who can do anything for him. He’s in love with Prabhakar’s daughter Poorbi (Deepika) and has a best friend Sushant (Prateik).
Revolving around the controversial issue of Supreme Court’s order on reservation, the film is the story of the youngsters’ love, their friendship, their zest for life and of their dreams for the future.

After the court’s ruling in the film, the story takes a roller-coaster ride of high drama, conflict and rebellion which tests the youngsters’ love and friendship for one another and their loyalty towards Prabhakar.

Although the film deals with a sensitive issue, Jha doesn’t aim to provide a permanent solution for it. He admits that the film has a therapeutic value.

After using the tune of national song “Vande mataram” in a song in his political thriller “Raajneeti”, Jha has used the rhythm of Gujarati hymn “Vaishnav jan to” in “Aarakshan” to enhance its patriotic feel.

Even before its release, the film has found itself in the middle of controversies. While some believe that the film is anti-Dalit, others feel it might create unrest because of the issue it deals with.

Jha’s office and house were Saturday attacked by political activists of the Republican Party of India (RPI) who wanted to obstruct the release of his film.

The National Commission of Scheduled Castes (NCSC) sought to see “Aarakshan” even before the Censor Board watched it as they felt the film should not affect their sentiments.

Civic authorities in Bhopal had also bulldozed the sets of the film because it was erected on disputed land and upset the shooting schedule.

The demolished set that spread over an acre and a half of land included a bungalow that belonged to the character played by Amitabh in the film as well as parts of a stable where informal schools were set up.

Salman was sentenced to one-year imprisonment for killing a blackbuck and a chinkara (gazelle) in Bhawad village near Jodhpur Sep 26, 1998. The sentence was handed down by a Jodhpur court Feb 17, 2006.

The court had found Salman guilty under Section 51 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. After his conviction, he spent three nights in Jodhpur Central Jail before the district and sessions court granted him bail.

Salman filed an appeal against the conviction March 9, 2006.

On Tuesday, District and Sessions Judge (Metropolitan) B.L. Sharma adjourned the hearing till Sep 20.

Public Prosecutor Ramsukh Sharma said that Salman had not presented himself before the court even once since the hearing began on the appeal.

“We argued that Salman could not get exemption from his presence always,” said Sharma.

On the other hand, Salman’s counsel sought exemption from his presence, saying that it could lead to law and order situation as the actor has a huge fan following.

The court rejected the argument and said hearing would be conducted on regular basis from Sep 20.

Salman and seven others were accused of killing a blackbuck and a chinkara in two separate incidents. One of the animals was killed at Bhawad on the outskirts of Jodhpur Sep 26, 1998, and the other at Ghoda Farms Sep 28, 1998.

At that time, Salman and other actors were shooting for the film “Hum Saath Saath Hain”.
