Mind your morality
Mind your child’s TV viewing if you want him to mind his language. This is what the commercial for a telly channel suggests. And the parents of our slang-spouting generation of brats couldn’t agree more.
After the huge success of half-a-dozen films made on mythology, it is now television’s prime time slot that seems to have undergone a 180-degree change with mythology serials for children profitably replacing the saas-bahu sagas.

Cinderella customised
Children’s books have got
all personalised

One hour of life, one hour of serious introspection and the same
duration to attain salvation, so many things lined up to happen in
mere 60 minutes.

Creative muse
It’s a tribute to the man we all loved and lost — Aditya Prakash. The man who gave us art as a member of the Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi which he led as the chairperson for the last council, gave us theatre as a leading member of Abhinet group and as the architect of Tagore Theatre, gave us Chandigarh as a team member of the Capitol Project!

Spice up
The long & short of legs

Shyam, Shreyas & smiles
After doing a cameo in Shaurya, Amrita Rao will be seen as an illiterate village girl in director Shyam Bengal's first comedy Welcome to Sajjanpur.

Mock tales
More pagalpanti, less plausibility
Driving the audience mad, with senseless fare, the latest telly shows are scripted around lunatic characters
Madness is like gravity…what you need is a little push.And the push is constant and up-to-the-minute, when it comes to the small screen.

Hari Puttar - A Comedy of Terrors is scheduled for Sep 19 release.
