Zindagi’s Farar to premiere at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival 2023

<p>Indian fashion designer Archana Kochhar made a splashing entry at the New York Fashion Week (NYFW) with her show featuring the exquisite 'Anant' collection at the High Water rooftop, New York. The event showcased a collection combining the elegance of Indian weaves with the modern vision of Indian women in Independent India.</p>

<p>Her collection called “Anant” was divided into three segments. In collaboration with the Government of Maharashtra, India, Archana introduced vibrant rani pink hues and modern silhouettes, showcasing the handwoven Paithani Sari. The state government supported Archana with the sari's splendid fabric as a gracious endorsement for the collection.</p>

<p>This segment titled ‘Maharashtra Heritage’ celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the Indian state of Maharashtra. The segment ‘Global Resilience’ symbolising globalisation included the global cobalt sari-gown silhouette, signifying a woman's resilience in balancing the divine masculine and feminine within. The final segment, ‘Diversity in All Shades’, incorporated delicate pastel hues celebrating the diversity of the female form in all shapes and sizes – a tribute to every woman's inherent beauty.</p>

<p>The name 'Anant' in her words, reflects the collection's infinite possibilities, drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of Indian culture and its continuous evolution. Along with getting digital dominators to be an essential part of the show, Archana also aimed at being eco-friendly by using ‘ahimsa silk’, a silk that doesn’t harm the silkworms while extracting silk.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The showstopper, the Miss World 1997 Diana Hayden, graced the runway in New York wearing an exquisite piece, while the Jikaria sisters stole the show with their opening act.</p>

<p>Speaking about her collection, Archana Kochhar said, "The 'Anant' Collection, while paying tribute to the timeless elegance of Indian weaves and the evolving landscape of women's fashion in independent India, also proudly features influencers as the face of this artistic journey. I'm deeply thankful for the support of the Maharashtra Government in bringing this vision to a global stage like New York Fashion Week, where we take immense pride in presenting Indian creativity to the world through this unique collaboration."</p>

<p><em>Made in Heaven</em> actress Sobhita Dhulipala&nbsp;would like to be challenged in the next role that lands at her doorstep. In an interview, Sobhita revealed that she would like to pay a female don. This comes close on the heels of announcement of <em>Don 3</em> in which Ranveer Singh will replace Shah Rukh Khan after the latter stepped away from the film post the <em>Zero</em> debacle. Now that the makers are thinking of reviving the hit franchise, they are also looking for a leading heroine for the film.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Sobhita keen to play Roma in Don</strong></h2>

<p>Amid a lot of speculation about who will star opposite Ranveer Singh, Sobhita wants makers to consider her for the feature. On whether she would like to be cast in Roma’s role in the film, Sobhita said, “I would be thrilled to (be part of <em>Don 3</em>). After Made in Heaven 2 came out, there were so many people who were like, ‘Tara is feisty’ and ‘Tara’s energy is like Roma’s vibe’. So, that comparison was flattering, I love the films. Priyanka was amazing as Roma. Just the prospect that people thought this was a well-suited thing was amazing. I would love to audition for it (<em>Don 3</em>).”</p>

<p>It was a full-on fun night at The Jonas Brothers concert as pictures of Priyanka Chopra and Preity Zinta enjoying themselves surfaced on the internet. The Bollywood divas had a great time together and were spotted dancing to songs by the boy band. The Bollywood divas posed happily for the cameras while they danced to and sang the hit numbers from The Jonas Brothers’ latest album.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>The Jonas Brothers concert took place at Dodgers Stadium, Los Angeles</strong></h2>

<p>The Jonas Brothers concert took place at the Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles, California. The concert had all three brothers – Nick, Joe, and Kevin perform in a jam-packed stadium. The stadium saw Nick Jonas’s wife Priyanka Chopra cheering him on as she danced with her friends. We also spotted her Bollywood colleague Preity Zinta as the two girls stole the limelight. Preity opted for a black sheer top with red checks mini skirt.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Priyanka Chopra, meanwhile, opted for a black cut-out dress for the night. With her hair open and a dress that accentuated her curves, Priyanka&nbsp;looked like a million bucks. &nbsp;Her dress featured noodle straps, and cut-out details on the torso and waist, exposing her toned midriff. She accessorised her look with pretty high heels, stacked bracelets, gold jewellery, and a gold-chained shoulder bag.&nbsp;</p>

PICS: Priyanka Chopra, Preity Zinta can't stop dancing at The Jonas Brothers concert

<p>Drew Barrymore will soon be back on the seat to host her eponymous chat show. The daytime talk show will begin its new season soon as Drew put out a lengthy statement in support of this decision. The show will be following all the rules of the SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is the first time that Drew Barrymore will return to the hosting duties amid strikes. She had previously stepped down from hosting the MTV Film and TV Awards in May, in a show of support and solidarity for the striking WGA members. In her statement, Drew said, “It had a direct conflict with what the strike was dealing with which was studios, streamers, film, and television. It was also in the first week of the strike and so I did what I thought was the appropriate thing at the time to stand in solidarity with the writers.”</p>

<h2><strong>Drew Barrymore's talk show announces new season amid strikes</strong></h2>

<p>She then detailed why <em>The Drew Barrymore Show</em> wrapped and said that “its last season was on April 20, so the talk show never had to shut down due to the writers strike.”</p>

<p>On her comeback, Drew Barrymore said, “However, I am also making the choice to come back for the first time in this strike for our show, which may have my name on it but this is bigger than just me. I own this choice. We are in compliance with not discussing or promoting film and television that is struck of any kind. We launched live in a global pandemic. Our show was built for sensitive times and has only functioned through what the real world is going through in real-time.”</p>

<h2><strong>Will Drew Barrymore get boycotted?</strong></h2>

<p>After Drew Barrymore posted about the return of her talk show, the Writers Guild of America, East shared a statement on X (formerly known as Twitter): “The @DrewBarrymoreTV Show is a WGA-covered, struck show that is planning to return without its writers. The Guild has and will continue to, picket-struck shows that are in production during the strike. Any writing on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ is a violation of WGA strike rules.”</p>

<p>However, Drew Barrymore’s work as a performer on <em>The Drew Barrymore Show</em> is not a violation of current strike rules because the syndicated daytime show, distributed by CBS, is covered by a different SAG-AFTRA contract than the one in dispute. This is the contract that covers talk shows, game shows, variety shows, and soap operas was renewed and ratified by union members in 2022.</p>

<p><em>The Drew Barrymore Show</em> season 4 is set to premiere on September 18. Actors who appear as guests in the upcoming season will have to follow SAG-AFTRA strike rules, which include not discussing or promoting any struck projects.</p>

<p>Two of the most noteworthy names in the film critics world, David Denby and Joe Klein were against his film. The film is now considered one of the greatest. Both David and Joe had back then said, “Hope to God that this doesn’t open in your neighbourhood.”</p>

Now, after so many years since the release of the film, when Lee picked up an award, he remembered Roger Elbert coming to his defence when everyone else was against him. Spike Lee remembers being slammed by critics for film Do The Right Thing At the Toronto International Film Festival, Spike Lee said, “Your husband got behind me when those motherf**ers in the press were saying that Do the Right Thing was going to incite Black people to riot.” As he accepted the award, Spike added, “That this film should not be shown in the United States.” Two of the most noteworthy names in the film critics world, David Denby and Joe Klein were against his film. The film is now considered one of the greatest. Both David and Joe had back then said, “Hope to God that this doesn’t open in your neighbourhood.” Watch Adarsh Gourav's interview with WION here: High-profile celebs at Toronto Film Fest In addition to Spike Lee, Colman Domingo, Vicky Krieps, Patricia Arquette, Pedro Almodovar and Shawn Levy were honoured at the Toronto International Film Festival Tribute Awards.

<p>The Toronto International Film Festival kicked off its 48th edition. The newest edition of the festival premiered animation icon Hayao Miyazaki’s <em>The Boy and the Heron</em>. This is their first feature in a decade that made to TIFF’s opening day. The crowd cheered on the film and his studio, Studio Ghibli for the film.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>The Boy and the Heron open&nbsp;TIFF 2023</strong></h2>

<p>Before the lights dimmed and people settled after <em>The Boy and the Heron</em>’s premiere, Cameron Bailey, the CEO of TIFF, told the audience, “For me no film shows the power of cinema as an art form that’s both personal and global more than the one you’re about to see.”</p>

<p>He went on to say that Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron is the “…most mature, dazzling expression of his vision.”</p>

<p>While the festival opened to a thunderous response for the film, TIFF is rather dull owing to the dual Hollywood strikes. Hence, there are fewer red carpets and a lighter presence from film journalists.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Toronto International Film Festival will run from September 7 to September 17, 2023.&nbsp;</p>
