Hit & miss
In Chandigarh to promote their film, Chakradhaar, the cast of movie decodes
why not all Bollywood hit films are good and why not all good films are a hit…
The dynamics of Bollywood is ‘a bit’
difficult to comprehend. ‘A bit’ if you can after some contemplation figure
out why Shanghai (which had a storyline) couldn’t gross 100 crores unlike
Rowdy Rathore (storyline in this case means how many men could Akshay Kumar
single-handedly kill)! Why remake of regional films are a hit and original
scripts very few; in case you still want to stick to the ‘a bit’ part! In
Chandigarh to promote their film, Chakradhaar, Yashpal Sharma, Akhilendra Mishra
and Abhishek Anand besides the immediate job at hand (promotion of their film)
try to demystify Bollywood.

Script for success
In Chandigarh for an interaction, film-maker Kurt Inderbgitzin says it’s a
specialized job and one requires thorough training before making films
 You
might pick up a camera and start filming, but in a similar way, you can’t
really hang a stethoscope and start operating! For Kurt Inderbgitzin, CEO, of
Annapurna International School of Film and Media, “That’s bizarre.” That
too pronounced with the right emphasis to bring home the surprise! “You can’t
start constructing a building unless you’ve been to an architect school. Then
what makes you think that you can start making films or be a star unless you’ve
had training. I promise you, film-making is as complicated as making a
skyscraper.” In Chandigarh for a seminar and interaction on the new courses
they’ve introduced, he’s ready to start from the ABC of film-making. One at
a time!

Get gorgeous with Simone Singh
Simone Singh is remembered for her roles in Kal Ho Naa ho, Being
Cyrus and TV serial Heena. She is a regular on the social scene in
Mumbai. The beauty is blessed with glowing skin and she shares her tips
on skincare.
Drink plenty of water even if you are not thirsty during the
monsoons. It is a process that flushes out toxins. Choose warm water
over cold.
Always use a reputed face wash that suits your skin type. Soap is
a complete no for the face. Use face wipes to keep skin oil free.
Clean, tone and moisturise. Use cleanser at the end of the day to
get rid off the dirt, then use a toner to get rid of excessive oil
and finally moisturise your skin. This balances the skin and allows
it to breathe.

The year ahead
If your birthday is June 16...
Celebrations are indicated with news of births, followed by weddings and career prospects. You have to let go of the past if you wish to get out of the sentimental mood, which grips you. Extra caution and care seems to be the word of the hour when handling finances. You will be irritated with the behaviour of the people around you. Some of the good opportunities will come through new people you meet. Do not come under pressure of others when making important decisions. Watch out for individuals who might try to mislead you. Friends are urging you to throw caution to the wind. You are rarely the one who will splash out cash without thinking first. At least your judgement regarding home affairs is smooth so stick to your plans in this area.
