Calling the shots
Poonam Pawar She would cry whenever and wherever it was required. In fact, she still does. She would sing and dance in the sarson ke khet, around the tube well, and off late in malls and foreign locales. She would gladly slip into a designer wear, let her hair down and perk up the glamour quotient. Other than that… well, she has always been a reason behind all the major fights, and she single handedly changes the climax of any movie. The honourable actresses in Punjabi cinema have always done their required bit of song, dance and drama.

The stage is set…
Rajiv Mehta, Vandana Vashist, Chakresh Kumar and P Chandershekar The true essence of theatre lies in the relationship between human and society, and one cannot thrive in the absence of the other. While reflecting upon this understanding, the Department of Cultural Affairs and Tagore Theatre Society have come up with a venture that aims to showcase the finest literary works of Munshi Prem Chand, one of the foremost Hindustani writers of the early 20th century.

Al Pacino Al Pacino likes Once Upon A Time…
If the promos of Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Dobaara have heightened the anticipation for the film, here is the ultimate endorsement. Akshay Kumar, the film's menacing Shoaib, essaying the finest grey character of his career, has found an admirer of epic proportions. The romantic drama, directed by Milan Luthria, has caught the attention of the original Godfather, Al Pacino, who was blown away by the film's theatrical trailer and by Kumar's towering presence in the film.


Nod of approval: Al Pacino

CELEB POINT
Facing life head on!
Far from the madding crowd, I decided to take a break with a few friends. We decided on my farmhouse in the outskirts of Mumbai. With ma's aloo ka paranthas packed for the road and a flask of garam chai to complement the rain, we left for our adventure journey. What could be better than Kishoreda's lovely voice to Panchamda's music playing in the background?

Beyond backwaters
There's a Jewish connection in the form of a synagogue built in 1615, there's Jerusalem's legacy in the form of St Thomas Syrian Church. Thrown in is also some literature on the Portuguese connection. If history doesn't entice you, then handicrafts will. Wake up to the rhythm of looms, at the hub of Kerala's handloom industry in a sleepy village of Balaramapuram. Let the aroma of spices be a way of life while the stay lasts.
