Errors not regretted!
What happens when Shakespeare's Comedy Of Errors gets a Punjabi twist? We have a film called Double Di Trouble. And, with Bollywood actor Dharmendra, leading the pack, the fun multiplies manifold
Shakespeare's
plot crash landed in Punjab and the vernacular interpretation followed.
Three cheers: Gippy Grewal, Dharmendra and Gurpreet Ghuggi.

A royal salute
Sushmit Sen's musical tribute to India's National Anthem has a certain kind of meditative quality, which gives the song a defining edge. With an illustrious career spanning 20 years, Susmit Sen, who is the founder-member of the band Sushmit Sen Chronicles, for long has also been the lead guitarist of the band Indian Ocean. The Indian National Anthem is a song from his upcoming album Depths of the Ocean. Performed live on Balcony TV Delhi, the Six String Salute will indefinitely touch the nationalist in you.
Control freaks
One more comedy film, but this one is minus the jatt element. Gaurav Singh, who is directing Control Bhaji Control, is sure about his script and execution, but the question is will he be able to control the box office?
This could be rated as the second most favoured word of the Punjabi film industry. While they let the
'jatt' be, the industry is keen on exploring more of bhaji. First, they landed bhaji in a huge problem (read Bhaji in Problem), and now they are asking him to control.
Team players: (L-R) Gaurav Singh, Karan Kundra, Simran and Sandeep.

Life’s lessons
A certified life coach, Ramon Lamba, wants to teach life skills that help one to take care of one’s physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual well being
You are God’s own creation; he has put everything in you to achieve your purpose — is what Ramon Lamba practices and preaches. How else would you explain the rise of a girl, raised in conservative business family; married soon after class XII in an equally rich conservative business family? Neither in Ramon’s birth home or the one she married; daughters or daughters-in-law worked.
 Movie reviews
Lost in transit
As it is Hindi masala films are only occasionally and that too accidentally inspirational. And when the film happens to be a sequel, never mind the tag line- join the fight-or the fact that it was released on the Independence Day, it can be anything but stirring.
So, Singham Returns, a sequel to Singham, can only be old wine in the same bottle. Brace yourself for more of the same. Only the dare devil police officer Baji Rao Singham (Ajay
Devgn) is now DCP in Mumbai, a city of nearly two crores manned by less than fifty thousand police personnel.

Tabu will be seen in Haider next and she is being spotted at events too. She talks about her life, her movies, and Haider, among other things.
Simple & stupid: I'm single and living alone. So, people assume that I'm a recluse. It annoys me but adds to the mystery and mystique. Had I been married or in a relationship, things might have been different. Sach to yeh
hai, my life is simple and stupid. Chahe jitna bhi khod lo, kuch nahin niklega.

The year ahead
If your birthday is August 17...
Though you are honest and ethical, number 8 makes you shrewd and successful in the world of business and commercial enterprise. You will have to work with autonomy, as superiors will not have time to give you directives. However, this will not be a problem. Try to be more affable and avoid imposing your point of view. Many will go through a spring cleaning phase. Family obligations may get in the way of your experience of pleasure and of the achievement of your personal goals.

The North Country Mall celebrated this Independence Day with tri-city residents, in a manner which local denizens like best- with Food and Fun. It was aptly been named Colours of India. Stalls from almost all corners of India were set up. Culinary delights like Mumbai's famous vada-pao, Lucknow's nawabi pulao and biryanis, mouth-watering street foods of
 Amritsar are all there at the festival. There was a South Indian corner and an area had been dedicated to Rajasthani fare like the sumptuous dal batti
churma. Colors of India was a melting pot of India's diverse food culture. The idea was to use food as a factor that unites the entire country like nothing else. Cooking challenges and opportunities too were available in plenty.
