Season’s Gazings
Chetna Banerjee’s trend guide (non-political, of course) to what happened and how it happened in 2002.



Bollywood arrives in the West,
Hollywood comes calling to India

Of splits & new family profiles
Hinglish-shinglish hai rabba!
The party-ing shot among the chatterati
Badhaai time for movie memorabilia merchandising.
Gourmets flirt with oysters & ducks, foodies go Sachin-gazingLittle bleep-bleep that made cell users lose their sleep
Consumers bargained as brand brats reigned
Of herbal shawls and figures like Emme dolls
War erupts in love zone: Lovers game for POLO!

Bollywood-2002
Year fuelled by controversies
Dharam Pal

HASHILAL Nair's Ek Chhotisi Love Story was in the news before its release with the film-maker being accused of the breach of trust by the renowned film star, Manisha Koirala. Shashilal Nair used a duplicate to shoot some obscenes. After Manisha raised objections about the obscene scenes, the director promised that he would cut them. But when Manisha saw the preview of the film she was shocked to find the scenes in it. With both sticking to their guns the battle also went to court.
