Ghostface returns to theaters on March 10 in Scream VI, which means you have two more months to revisit the franchise up to this point. There are of course five Scream movies to date, but did you know that there’s also an unofficial Bollywood remake of the slasher classic?!
Titled Sssshhh…, the Bollywood version of Scream was released in 2003, seven years after Wes Craven’s horror masterpiece changed the game and pulled apart slasher conventions. As Paul Lê explained right here on Bloody Disgusting last year, “The bones of the original story are here, but everything else feels absolutely unfamiliar to Ghostface fans.”
Sssshhh… was directed by Pavan S. Kaul and written by Arshad Ali Syed, and we’re excited to announce that the film is coming to Screambox in time for Scream VI‘s arrival in theaters.
The Bollywood film becomes a Screambox SVOD Exclusive on February 3, 2023!

Just like her character Damini Roy from ‘Four More Shots Please!’, actress Sayani Gupta always speaks her mind. She agrees, though, that it can backfire sometimes. Sayani in a conversation said: “It always backfires but that’s not the point. You say something because it bothers you and you feel like you need to lend your voice to it.”
“You pick and choose your battles but you don’t shy away from speaking your mind for injustice so that is something I have lived by all my life,” she added.
Sayani agrees that she is under more scrutiny as she is an actor.
“The fact that I am an actor makes want to get better but it doesn’t stop me from saying what I believe in. But having said that, we are getting older… figuring lesser battles to fight because you feel sometimes what is the point.”

Actress Kirti Kulhari, who is currently enjoying the response to the recently released third season of her International Emmy-nominated streaming show, ‘Four More Shots Please’, shared some interesting anecdotes about her character Anjana from the series.
Talking about the relatable factors of her character, she said: “In terms of story, of course, everything that’s a part of Anajna’s life is something that I have to play with full conviction.

"After reading the script, I was skeptical about how will they position something that's palatable but at the same time make a bold statement? Another big concern for me was the fact that I had to play a mother. I wasn't ready for this and I had the fear of being typecast into that role, which has been quite prevalent in the industry," Kirti said.
"I kept questioning whether I should take the plunge and play a role, which could probably change my image and affect the type of work or opportunity that could come my way.

Love Aaj Kal
Starring Kartik Aryan, Sara Ali Khan, Arushi Sharma
Written & Directed by Imtiaz Ali
The post-intermission section of Imtiaz Ali’s confounding “love” story opens with what looks a video of a cheesy rapper exhorting the persuasions of that bewildering emotion called love, the same one that Kartik Aaryan in a semi-sepia flashback is heard telling his friends feels like someone strangling him in his sleep.
That’s how we often feel while watching Imtiaz Ali’s antidotal love story. Consciously or otherwise Ali denudes the feeling of love of all romance, makes it look like a train hurtling torrentially into the land of trauma . So fasten you seatbelts, for a ride into the choppy waters of a love relationship, with Kartik Aryan playing the cross-generation double loverboy with all the earnestness of Charlie Brown sneaking midnight treats for Snoopy.
Honestly, there is no way of telling the two Kartiks apart.

Laal Kaptaan
Starring Saif Ali Khan,Manav Vij, Zoya Hussain, Deepak Dobriyal
Directed by Navdeep Singh
Laal Kaptaan is an extraordinary film, powerful brutal visceral and very very tragic. The enormity of its grief is felt in the palpable treatment of the theme of patricide and other family crimes common to Mughal history. The blood-soaked script takes a swipe at the cruelty of history but converts some of the barbarism into a state of perdition and atonement that do not add up to a climactic catharsis. No such closure in this film, thank you.
At the vortex of the film’s implosive violence is the mysterious frighteningly forlorn figure of the Naga bandit played with virulent intensity by Saif Ali Khan. Khan, in a performance that will define his career, moves like a bloodthirsty spirit in the quest for revenge from an entitled wealthy but strangely unfulfilled ruler Rehmat Khan...

The second edition of the L’Oreal Paris Femina Women Awards took place in B’town a few weeks ago to honour women.
The likes of Sonam Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vidya Balan all graced the awards ceremony. We of course had our eyes on the red carpet to see whether the stars could impress us with their wardrobe choices.
Scroll down to see, which stars looked hot and which did not.
Sonam Kapoor looks like a modern day fashionable princess in this Atsu gown. Although the print is quite bold and loud Sonam carries it off really well. Sonam’s tiara compliments the look and her hairstyle very well.
Verdict – Sonam Kapoor is Hot!
Kunal Kapoor opts for two contrasting looks and it does not work very well. Kunal should have paired the top with smart black trousers to finish of the look rather than pairing it with casual jeans.

Director Ram Gopal Varma describes his forthcoming movie as a "men's film" and says it was natural for Amitabh Bachchan to spearhead the show in the promos of the movie."Isn't that obvious? With the kind of personality and the stardom that he enjoys, it is but natural that Amitabh Bachchan would be spearheading the entire film," Varma said.If one goes by the film's synopsis, there are other characters like Sudeep, Riteish Deshmukh, Mohnish Behl, Paresh Rawal and Rajat Kapoor who have been described to be quite important.
