I noticed something curious. Director Siddharth Anand of the film ‘Fighter’ says that his film flopped because 90% of Indian moviegoers have never sat in an airplane! I was amazed, amused, but, most of all, I was worried. Worried, because this is how the maker of a Rs 400-crore film thinks!
My mind instantly went back to Shakti Samanta’s ‘An Evening In Paris’ (1967), where a bikini-clad Sharmila Tagore is sea skiing as Shammi Kapoor courts her hanging from a helicopter. After learning what Malhotra had said to explain why his film had failed, I wondered how many people hang from a helicopter to court a woman! I don’t know anybody who has done such a thing and still, ‘An Evening In Paris’ was a major hit! I can cite hundreds of such examples.
Of course, the audience must first identify with the subject of a film. The other factor...

The wedding celebrations for the Deshmukhs and D’Souzas ended with a star studded bang at the reception function on Saturday February the 4th. Now it’s the moment you all have been waiting for, time to see who looked hot and who did not!
Aditi Gowitrikar
Although Aditi’s saree wasn’t something to rave about, it wasn’t something to warrant a rant about either. She looked quite cute and glamorous.
Hot.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
By now you all must know that Ash made her first official non-hospital appearance post the baby at the reception. She opted for a Manish Malhotra anarkali and looked rather gorgeous!
Quite Hot
Alvira and Arpita Khan
Sallu Miya’s two sisters were in attendance, perhaps on behalf of him who couldn’t make it to the wedding celebrations. Alvira went for what appears to be a half/half net saree, Arpita stuck to her favourite designer Sabyasachi.

Film maker Anil Sharma is flustered that even though close to a decade has passed by ever since he made an all time blockbuster in the form of Gadar - Ek Prem Katha (2001), the tag of 'jingoistic' director continues to be attached to him. He agrees though that his interim films like The Hero (2003) and Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo (2004) have come close to being patriotic saga. "However, terming them as jingoistic is taking things a little too far", fumes Anil Sharma whose...
