The concept of the body double is quite spread throughout the movie industry, with people looking like the stars doubling them in stunts or in erotic scenes. In India and Bollywood, though, where a number of stars are bigger than life, it has risen to a whole other level, with film star lookalikes being as much part of Indian popular culture as the revered actors who front the movie industry, even starring as so-called “duplicates” in broadly comedic versions of original films by the megastars they resemble. Documentary director and producer Geetika Narang Abbasi profiles three career duplicates – Kishore Bhanushali, who doubles as Dev Anand; Firoz Khan the Amitabh Bachchan lookalike and Prashant Walde, who makes a living mimicking Shah Rukh Khan.

“Dhaka Dream” review is part of the Submit Your Film Initiative
The film begins with the focus being on a bus going to Dhaka and its passengers, before a fast backward scene brings us to some time before, in a rundown city outside of the capital, where the ten main characters of the film face a number of issues that force them to leave. Nikhil, who is the closest thing to a main protagonist we have in the movie, is the owner of a barber shop he inherited from his father. One day, however, he finds it occupied by a local governor who also happens to run a crime syndicate in the area, and neither the police nor anyone else seems to be able...

Indore, Feb 20 (Ians) Swashbuckling batsman-wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan hammered 173 off just 94 balls - including 19 sixes and 11 boundaries -- to propel Jharkhand to a humongous 324-run win -- the third highest margin by runs in the world -- over Madhya Pradesh in a Group B match of the Vijay Hazare Trophy here on Saturday. Jharkhand collected four points from the win recorded at the Holkar Cricket Stadium.
Later on Saturday evening, Kishan was picked, as deputy to preferred wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, in a 19-member Indian T20 squad for five T20 Internationals against England from March 12 in Ahmedabad.
Captain-cum-opener Kishan's previous highest score in List A matches, classified as domestic limited over matches, was 139. His whirlwind innings helped Jharkhand to an insurmountable 422 for nine wickets off the allotted 50 overs.
