First it was Shah Rukh Khan, who made us cringe and gasp in equal measure when he revealed his ripped middle-aged torso.

In 2005, India imposed a ban on scenes of actors with cigarettes dangling from their lips in films and television. The inane justification behind the action was that it glamorised the use of tobacco. After much criticism, the angered stars and filmmakers can finally pop a Louis Roederer Cristal again this year, as the Delhi [...] [...more]

Every so often, a well-known actor seems to have the urge to make more effort with their silhouette and better their body image. This could be due to personal choice, or to fit into a certain kind of role for a forthcoming film. More to the point, it could also have a little bit of the “Keeping-up-with-the-Jones” [...] [...more]

When I first saw the previews of Ghajini, with the tattoos covering Amir Khan’s body, I immediately thought of the tattoos all over Guy Pierce’s body in Christopher Nolan’s 2000 masterpiece, Memento. This made me skeptical. Another rip-off of a Hollywood film? After watching the movie, I could definitely see the similarities. The writer/director, A.R Murugadoss, doesn’t offer [...] [...more]

It’s no secret that Bollywood is, and has always been a male-dominated industry. The men get paid more, and enjoy much longer, illustrious careers, while their female equivalent see their fee and film offers reduce greatly once they hit 30. Bipasha Basu, possibly the most forthright and outspoken actress in Bollywood (bar perhaps Kareena Kapoor) has [...] [...more]

VH1 calls it “hotrageous couples”; we call it on-screen chemistry. Hollywood has Brangelina and we have Abhiaish. Rumours escalating around talented and beautiful people who work together are nothing new for the 24/7 gossip society of the UK and US; what is new however is how this media frenzy from Hollywood is moving it’s way on [...] [...more]

If you are starved to see Salman in his element; craving to swoon over Shahrukh and his infectious persona (and a six-pack); longing to see Kajol’s seductive smile and yearning to stare at Hrithik as he woos you; you don’t have to wait for their next movie to hit the big screen. Waiting around for the next [...] [...more]

If an alien had landed at the Bollywood IIFA awards in Bangkok last week, it would have been forgiven for thinking us Asians are a light skinned lot.
