Master of make over
A name synonymous to Bollywood, colours and traditional Indian wear, Manish Malhotra is one of the few designers who have managed to balance the delicate relationship of costume designing and mainstream designing. Having given a new lease of life to actors like Urmila in Rangeela and Karishma in Raja Hindustani, Manish believes in the power of styling.
Singing Queen, after Kinng
Year 2003. A teen singer created sensation by getting nominated for all the possible awards in the best female playback singer category. And she went on winning the whopping eight titles, including the national award. That’s how the beautiful and extremely talented young crooner Shreya Ghoshal announced her entry in Bollywood.

Tale of two cities
Two different cities in two different parts of the globe, yet what baffled us were the striking similarities between the two. When one of them is swank, with ultra modern architecture—Brasilia, the other one is more basic and beautiful—our very own Chandigarh.
Daddy's Girl
Aishwarya Rai took time off from her busy shooting schedule in Kochi for Mani Ratnam's Ravana to fly back to Mumbai for dad Krishnaraj Rai's 70th birthday.
Krishnaraj got the surprise of his life when Aishwarya showed up for a very special family reunion on Thursday.
Son-in-law, Abhishek Bachchan was also expected to attend but couldn't do so.

Fading of a genius
The maverick's magic is withering. That's why the saucy storyteller and master craftsman, who once churned out hits like Karz, Vidhaata, Hero, Pardes and Taal, is now struggling to play to the audience pulse.

Heavy metal rush
Zip, zap, zoom. If you have flagrant disrespect for vehicular etiquette, this one is for you. In Death Race, you can't decide who is driving whom—men taking over the metallic monsters or vice-versa.
Paul Anderson’s Death Race has Jason Stutham, Natalie Martinez and Ian Macshane

Horse sense
This is one of the few cities where horse-drawn carts are prevalent. Sometimes, while driving around, I stop next to these horses and wonder what a bizarre world it must be for these creatures.
