Clothes are not the problem, it’s the mentality: Prachi Tehlan Even though the world is progressing, mindsets of certain people are still stuck in the Stone Age, and actors become the easy targets of such regressive mentalities. Slut-shaming is one such issue that is faced every now and then. From Deepika Padukone to Priyanka Chopra, Sana Sheikh, Esha Gupta etc., everybody has fought back situations where they were trolled for their attires. Prachi Tehlan, who is portraying a ‘tomboy’ in her ongoing show ‘Ikyawann took the podium to express her viewpoint. “Passing judgments on what a person wears has always been disturbing for me. While playing the character of Susheel in my show, I got a better understanding of how such unpleasant and unwelcoming comments influence a girl’s mindset. Nobody has the authority to bash others for their dress sense,” said Prachi. Talking about any bad experience she had, Prachi is thankful that she never dealt with anything as such. “Since the d

#AnnaKareninaVronskysStory (Russian dubbed in English with Subtitles) Rating: * * An all too Royal Regression. Anna Karenina made her choice, leaving her son Sergei to grow up struggling to understand why his mother took such a tragic and terrible path, and Count Vronsky was haunted by the memory of the woman for whose death he still blames himself 30 years later. The film though is a tragedy because of it’s atrociously casual American accented dialogues and delivery which kills most of the drama and renders the magnificence of the Eurasian setting impotent. #RGStudios #RakshaEntertainment #LeoTolstoy #MeghnaC #BazingaPR #ElizavetaBoyarskaya #MaksimMatveyev #VitalyKishchenko #KirillGrebenshchikov #MakarMikhalkin Runtime: 130 mins Hollywood Film Review Johnson Thomas An all too Royal Regression Film: Anna Karenina: Vronsky’s Story Cast: Elizaveta Boyarskaya, Maksim Matveyev, Vitaly Kishchenko, Kirill Grebenshchikov, Makar Mikhalkin Director: Karen Shakhnazarov Rating: * * Runtim

From Hollywood to Bollywood, heart-break is the HIT formula From Bollywood chartbusters like ‘Raanjhna’ to Hollywood classics like ‘Titanic’, all these became hits because the viewers built an emotional link with the characters. But it’s not just limited to movies. Even the television show makers are tracing these steps to increase the viewership and thereby raise the TRP. The best example is the ongoing show Big Boss. The reality show showed an interaction of the contestants, who have been on a house arrest, with their loved ones. The emotional sequence, where Hiten and Shilpa touch the feet of Puneet’s father-despite their internal clashes- strikes the right cords with the audience. At the same time, a discriminatory decision by ‘The Big Boss’ to not allow Hiten to talk or meet his wife Gauri was found unfair and unjust by the audience. People took to Twitter to criticize the move which evidently proves that how connected people are to this show and its contestants. Speaking
