We now dive into Part 2 of the songs of Bollywood. 90s Bollywood had a hefty past of classic films and songs to surpass. From Dilip Kumar walking along a cliff, Dev Anand comically falling down, Raj Kapoor thinking about death and legacy, to Rajesh Khanna staring out at the sea (on another cliff), Sunny Deol stomping his feet as his gang mates went up the hill and Rishi Kapoor righting the wrongs of his past life through a song. How do you top that and still be the lovable, funky, fun and completely absurd Bollywood we knew and love… Easy! From the soft, easy listening music and some jazz combinations of the earlier films, the music and dance sequences transposed to low budget big band music taking on the blasting of the base club beats Ko-ing the western world with a bigger dose of desi swag.

Bollywood is known around the world for lights, colour and songs. In 90 years of Bollywood cinema, you can be sure that there has been a song for every emotional moment whether happy, sad, surprised, action, romance or drama. Of course Bollywood thus has plenty on offer when it comes to festival time. Festivals are the chance for hardworking people around the world to stop and mix fun, religious belief and Bollywood together in open air function spaces as they dance the night away to some great tunes. At this time of year, the main festivals to consider are Navratri and Dusheera. Below are a few examples of what Bollywood has given over recent years.
We start with Navratri, a time for lengha, garba and dandiya in its most famous form, particularly in Gujarat. For Bollywood, this is obviously a time to show off some dance skills but also a time...

For all those cinema lovers who are planning to catch up on a Bollywood film at 6 pm in a multiplex, you will have to rethink about your plans. The reason being Maharashtra's Culture Minister Vinod Tawde's announcement that the multiplexes should now be screening Marathi films during the prime time from 6pm to 9pm. This decision was taken in the state assembly which was held yesterday.
Tawade reasoned his move stating that when Ashok Chavan was the acting Chief Minister, he had given concessions to multiplexes that the morning time (shows) will be reserved for Marathi cinemas. Tawade added that, he has only changed the same to prime time now, but had not changed the number of shows the multiplexes will have to organize.
Tawade's decision has met with mixed reaction from the Bollywood fraternity. While on one hand, Ritesh Deshmukh termed the decision as 'welcome news', on the other hand,...

It is hard to believe, mainly because his songs live on even today, through numerous singers who base their styles on him from Kumar Sanu, Abhijeet, Vinod Rathod to the younger singers of today such as Babul Supriyo or Shaan. Further Kishore Kumar lives in through the regular remixes and renditions of his songs each and every year.

Producer Vinod Bachchan's film Zilla Ghaziabad staring Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi has run into legal trouble. A legal notice has been sent to Vinod and his production house Soundarya Films by Krishna Devi, wife of the alleged Up gangster Mahinder Singh Fauji to stop the film as it is reportedly based on Fauji's life. Mahinder Singh Fauji was reportedly a Up gangster, who was killed in a gang war in Ghaziabad 15 years ago. As his family got to know that a film is being made called Zilla Ghaziabad, which is based on the gang wars of the 90's and Arshad Warsi plays the role of a character named Fauji, they decided to take immediate action. Krishna Devi has petitioned the Delhi High Court to halt the film as they are worried it might show Fauji in bad light. However, Vinid Bachchan maintains that his film is a pure work of fiction.

Amitabh Bachchan’s warrior film shelved due to weak script
Hrithik Roshan won every child’s heart with Krrish; Shahrukh Khan promises super-heroism with the upcoming Ra. One. However, when it was Amitabh Bachchan’s turn to save the world, his superhero film was shelved on account of a weak script.

Based on the epic novel Chandrakanta written by Devaki Nandan Khatri in 1892, Talisman was meant to see senior Bachchan in the lead. A teaser-trailer of the film, high on CG and featuring Amitabh Bachchan, was released a few years ago, pitting a mythological warrior against a massive army . The promo even had a ‘coming soon ‘ title at the end.
While some speculate that the death of the un-filmed super-hero was due to creative differences between Producer Chopra and Writer/Director Madhwani,...
