Prime act
One fine day, we found everybody in Punjab singing. On yet another, we found most of them acting in front of the camera. And then we saw every singer was acting! Finally, we saw a non-singer joining the bandwagon and walking away with accolades. The success of Jatts in Golmaal has brought Aarya Babbar into the race. In an industry dominated by singer-actors, Aarya along with others, who are either ready or have already made an impact on Punjabi cinema, have only sung in the bathrooms!

Its latest victim, Jiah Khan, adds to the sad suicide statistics of Bollywood and goes onto become yet another case study on the flipside of tinsel town.

Beyond the obvious
The best thing about theatre is the liberty you have to introduce changes whenever you feel that the play isn’t going the way you want it. The irony of life is that, unlike theatre, it doesn’t really give you a clean slate to start all over again, sometimes not even a fair second chance.
