Fans relieved as Shah Rukh Khan returns from US amid reports of injury and surgery

<p><em>Lootera</em> completes 10 years today. The period drama starring Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha in the leading roles continues to be remembered as one of the best in Indian cinema. An out-and-out romantic drama, <em>Lootera</em> has everything, from great music to intelligent storytelling, polished direction and more. In fact, music was one of the highest selling points of the film. Amit Trivedi and Amitabh Bhattacharya lent the music as they composed six songs in total for the film.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Lootera" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8875c763-a261-4582-a93e-941ab740ba70" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-05T184439.668.jpg" /></p>

<h2><strong>Lootera's music is one for all ages</strong></h2>

<p>The songs include “Sawaar Loon”, “Ankahee”, “Shikayatein”, “Monta Re”, “Zinda” and “Manmarziyan”. In addition to Amit Trivedi and Amitabh Bhattacharya, the film has songs by Shilpa Rao, Monali Thakur, K Mohan and Swanand Kirkire.</p>

<p>As <em>Lootera</em>’s album continues to enjoy fandom ten years after the film’s release, Amit Trivedi spoke to WION about the creative genius that <em>Lootera</em> is. The singer got nostalgic about creating music for this beautiful album.&nbsp;Remembering fondly about his time working on <em>Lootera</em>’s songs, Amit Trivedi said, “Time truly flies and it doesn’t feel like it’s been ten years since we made music for this film. <em>Lootera</em> is such a special album for me in so many ways. It’s old school and soul-stirring, probably which is why so many people could resonate with the film’s music.”</p>

<p>“Working with Amitabh Bhattacharya and other talented artists like Shilpa Rao, Monali Thakur, K Mohan and Swanand Kirkire was such an incredible experience with all of them bringing their own unique styles to the album,” Amit said on his collaboration with different artists for <em>Lootera</em>’s album. “I would like to thank the audiences for showering their love on the album even after ten years of its release.”</p>

<p>Directed by Vikramaditya Motwane, <em>Lootera</em> is a 2013 period romantic drama based on author O. Henry's 1907 short story <em>The Last Leaf.</em></p>

<p>For fans of Amit Trivedi, the singer will next be seen performing in Melbourne. He recently announced his live concert in the Australian city. It is scheduled for July 22 at the Melbourne Convention Exhibition Centre as a part of his Indradhanush Concert.</p>

Exclusive | Amit Trivedi gets nostalgic remembering making music for Lootera on its 10th anniversary

<p>South-India has a rich theatrical legacy. Among Karnataka's many stalwarts was Girish Karnad who wrote his first play <em>Yayati&nbsp;</em>in Kannada in 1961. B. V. Karanth, the iconic director of the National School of Drama, set up Benaka, one of Bengaluru's oldest theatre groups. Be it folk stories, social plays, experimental narratives or street performances, Telugu theatre too has always been diverse, responsive to the times it is created in and also rooted in tradition.</p>

<p>In cognisance of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana's deep interest in literature, performing arts, and social issues, Zee Theatre now brings its rich repertoire of socially relevant themes to the Kannada and Telugu-speaking audience. Be it stories rich with emotion, historic narratives, suspense thrillers, legal dramas or socially relevant themes, audiences will be now able to see these teleplays (plays recorded for television) in Kannada and Telugu.</p>

<p>These teleplays address issues like gender violence, class struggle, patriarchy, and colourism and depict the stark contrast between the privileged and the marginalised.</p>

<p><em>Gunehgaar</em>&nbsp;is about the fault lines in the justice system while <em>Gudiya Ki Shaadi, Maa Retire Hoti Hai,&nbsp;Purush</em>, and <em>Ok Tata Bye Bye</em>&nbsp;reveal different shades of patriarchy.<br />
<br />
<em>Agnipankh</em>&nbsp;explores feudalism while <em>Sir Sir Sarla</em>&nbsp;is about the social restrictions placed upon love. <em>Rishton Ka Live Telecast</em>&nbsp;and <em>Shyam Ki Mummy</em> are relatable family dramas. <em>Internal Affairs</em>&nbsp;is about contemporary relationships while <em>Wrong Turn</em>&nbsp;portrays the cycle of cause and effect in human lives. <em>Court Martial</em> addresses casteism and <em>Sach Kahoon Toh</em>&nbsp;is an intriguing legal thriller.</p>

<p>In these thoughtfully curated and archived plays, audiences in Karnataka, Telangana &amp; Andhra Pradesh will also meet a wide range of relatable characters grappling with universal issues and conflicts.</p>

<p>Shailja Kejriwal, Chief Creative Officer - Special Projects, ZEE, says, "Theatre cannot be restricted to just one language. It is rooted in universal concerns and speaks to and for all human beings. This is one of the reasons why we have strategized to make our offerings accessible to culturally vibrant states like Karnataka, Telangana &amp; Andhra Pradesh. We are trying to ensure that no linguistic barrier can restrict the reach of powerful teleplays like <em>Court Martial</em> and <em>Purush</em>&nbsp;or even a social comedy like <em>Gudiya’ Ki Shaadi</em>&nbsp;which is an incisive comment on sexism and patriarchy.” &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Even though the content will play in the original language, the subscribers have the power to switch from Hindi to the language (Kannada &amp; Telugu) through their remote (Dish TV &amp; D2h – Yellow Button; Airtel Digital TV &amp; Tata Play – Blue Button).</p>

<p>These plays will be aired every Sunday at 2 pm and 8 pm starting from July 2023 in a segment titled, 'South Special Theatre.' The plays will be available on Tata Play Theatre in Kannada and on Airtel Theatre &amp; Dish TV &amp; D2H Rangmanch Active in Kannada as well as Telugu.</p>

Zee Theatre launches socially-relevant teleplays in Kannada and Telugu

<p>Tarla Dalal is eponymous with gourmet cooking in India. Even before we had MasterChefs of the world inspire people to tap into their culinary skills and soften to the idea of working in the kitchen out of choice and not need, it was this woman with a smile on her face and apron on self who warmed our hearts to the idea of experimentation and finding love in cooking. Possibly the first who made cookbooks and recipe books a thing in India, there is now a film on home chef Tarla Dalal as it promises to translate the enigma that is Tarla Dalal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Filmmaker Piyush Gupta who makes his directorial debut with <em>Tarla Dalal </em>starring Huma Qureshi in the leading role, spoke to WION about his film and bringing Tarla Dalal to the big screen for the new age who is over exposed to food blogs and food bloggers.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong><em>Here are the excerpts of this conversation:&nbsp;</em></strong></p>

<p><strong>WION:</strong> This is your directorial debut. How did you find the experience?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Piyush Gupta:</strong> I was forced into direction by the writer in me. All I wanted to do was to write a film on Tarlaji’s life. I couldn’t find a filmmaker who felt the same way about the subject as I did. I understood early on that if I want to tell this story, I will have to don the director’s hat too.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Must do's for first-time directors</strong></h2>

<p><strong>WION:</strong> Now that you have sunk your teeth in this pie, what advice would you have for first-time filmmakers?</p>

<p><strong>Piyush Gupta:</strong> I have only one piece of advice for anyone who’s signing up for this rollercoaster ride called direction, that is, to have fun. Don’t let any constraint on the set rob you of your joy. Eventually that joy spills into every shot, every scene, every moment of the film. And that joy gives every film that 'extra something' that can’t be measured by anyone but can be felt by everyone.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Telling Tarla Dalal's story to the world, the right way</strong></h2>

<p><strong>WION:</strong> We all know of Tarla Dalal ji. She was an icon in the culinary world. What kind of preparations did the film demand, to do justice to her life story?</p>

<p><strong>Piyush Gupta: </strong>A lot of preparations went into everything. With our dialect coach Hetal, we unearthed the tone. She was the one who discovered that while Tarlaji was Gujarati, her dialect was influenced by Pune Marathi. So, she spoke Gujarati in a Marathi accent. That discovery changed the way we approached the dialogues completely.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Tarla" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bcb8f2e3-0586-4d3b-b56b-700659775e5b" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-05T152757.778.jpg" /></p>

<p>Suraj Vyas brought to my notice that Tarlaji’s hand gesture could be a result of years of cooking. We took that in for our performance. My DA Raabiya helped my co-writer Gautam and me to tighten the script so that the film doesn’t have a moment where it stops. It’s always moving because we kept getting rid of the excess weight the script was carrying.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tasneem brought in the look. My mother provided her sarees from that period. And my DOP Salu brought his unique eye to the project and gave all his heart and time to make sure that what we shoot is not real but real and beautiful.</p>

<p><strong>WION:</strong> Did you face any challenges while filming for <em>Tarla Dalal</em>?&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Piyush Gupta:</strong> There is a three-page long monologue of Nalin (Sharib Hashmi) towards the end of the film. It was my favourite scene and I wanted it to be organic just the way my co-writer Gautam and I wrote it. I wanted the apology to feel earnest and real. And for me, the only way we could have achieved that was by doing the scene unprepared. So that’s what we did.</p>

<p>We didn’t rehearse the scene at any time before the shoot. My DOP Salu Thomas didn’t do any blocking. Our steadicam operator Harshil had no idea how the actors would perform the scene. Right before the shoot, I told Sharib to think of the scene as his opportunity to apologise to his wife for all things his wife never blamed him for. I think it worked but only time will tell.</p>

<p><em>Tarla Dalal </em>will stream on ZEE5 from July 7.</p>

Tarla Dalal is eponymous with gourmet cooking in India. Even before we had MasterChefs of the world inspire people to tap into their culinary skills and soften to the idea of working in the kitchen out of choice and not need, it was this woman with a smile on her face and apron on self who warmed our hearts to the idea of experimentation and finding love in cooking.

Tarla Dalal is eponymous with gourmet cooking in India. Even before we had MasterChefs of the world inspire people to tap into their culinary skills and soften to the idea of working in the kitchen out of choice and not need, it was this woman with a smile on her face and apron on self who warmed our hearts to the idea of experimentation and finding love in cooking. Possibly the first who made cookbooks and recipe books a thing in India, there is now a film on home chef Tarla Dalal as it promises to translate the enigma that is Tarla Dalal. Filmmaker Piyush Gupta who makes his directorial debut with Tarla Dalal starring Huma Qureshi in the leading role, spoke to WION about his film and bringing Tarla Dalal to the big screen for the new age who is over exposed to food blogs and food bloggers. Here are the excerpts of this conversation: WION: This is your directorial debut. How did you find the experience? Piyush Gupta: I was forced into direction by the writer in me. All I wanted to do was to write a film on Tarlaji’s life. I couldn’t find a filmmaker who felt the same way about the subject as I did. I understood early on that if I want to tell this story, I will have to don the director’s hat too.

Mahesh Babu can't stop gushing as daughter Sitara features on Times Square billboards

<p>In recent times, regional stories have amplified voices against oppression and discrimination and countered patriarchy with great success. Here is an overview of some Kannada and Telugu offerings that have unapologetically brave, inspiring, and self-willed female protagonists.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Purush</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
Marathi playwright Jaywant Dalvi's <em>Purush</em>,&nbsp;was adapted into a Hindi teleplay by Zee Theatre and is now available in Telugu and Kannada as well for audiences in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. Starring Ashutosh Rana and Gulki Joshi, the story depicts a battle of wills between a corrupt politician and a young, idealistic girl Ambika. After a horrific gender crime, the story reveals that patriarchy comes in many shades. But as Ambika defies societal norms to fight for the dignity of every oppressed woman, the teleplay also showcases her indomitable spirit that refuses to be broken.</p>

<p><img alt="Purush" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="48db4abc-498a-45de-9fe3-9c8d720df04f" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-05T113220.622.jpg" /></p>

<p>Helmed by Saurabh Shrivastava,<em> Purush</em> also features Paromita Chatterjee, Deepak Qazir, Kranti Prakash Jha, and Neha Sar. Watch this thought-provoking drama in Hindi, Kannada, or Telugu at Tata Play Theatre on the 8 July and Dish TV Rangmanch Active and D2H Rangmanch Active on 15 July.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Urvi</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
"Some women fear the fire. Some women become it," Director B.S Pradeep Verma’s powerfully crafted 2017 Kannada film <em>Urvi&nbsp;</em>exemplifies this idea. The film was screened at the 12th Cyprus International Film Festival and won much acclaim at home too for its refreshing theme.</p>

<p><img alt="Urvi" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fbbf63cc-6e17-4dbf-975f-f9fbd3fa1af4" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-05T113024.247.jpg" /></p>

<p>The film takes us on a riveting journey with three women who find themselves trapped in difficult circumstances. These women, portrayed by Shweta Pandit, Shruthi Hariharan, and Shraddha Srinath, unite to plot revenge against a common enemy responsible for ruining their lives. What happens next is a wrenching study of the power dynamics between genders and the resilience and strength women display to just survive in a patriarchal milieu. You can watch the film on Amazon Prime Video.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Shuddhi</strong></p>

<p>"The fire within us should enlighten others too!" says a fiery protagonist in Adarsh Eshwarappa's Kannada film<em> Shuddhi.</em> The film begins with Karlyn Smith (played by Lauren Spartano), an American visitor to Bengaluru&nbsp;who befriends two journalists (played by Nivedhitha and Amrutha Karagada ) and then plunges the audience into a whirlpool of gender crimes and mysterious killings. A criminal is on the run, and a cat-and-mouse game ensues between him and the three women.</p>

<p>The film asks what can society and lawmakers do to make women safer in a country where rape occurs every few minutes. The film also stars Shashank Purushotham and can be watched online on various streaming platforms such as Neestream.</p>

<p><strong>Mahanati</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
This 2018 Telugu biopic became the highest-grossing female-led South Indian film at the time of its release and also fetched the National Award for Best Actress to&nbsp;Keerthy Suresh. The film retells the fascinating story of Savitri, a legendary actress, singer, and filmmaker who left an indelible mark on Telugu and Tamil cinema.</p>

<p><img alt="Mahanati" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="67981f62-7d69-4cea-8516-1e086b8db9c8" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-05T112758.000.jpg" /></p>

<p>Helmed by Nag Ashwin, the film beautifully shows the rise of a young girl from a village to a cinematic icon who triumphed over trials, tribulations and immense heartbreak to carve a matchless legacy in her own right. Keerthy Suresh delivers a miraculous performance and plays Savitri with utmost grace and authenticity. Dulquer Salmaan plays Jaimini Ganeshan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu plays a passionate journalist who uncovers the many secrets of Savitri's life. It is streaming&nbsp;on Amazon Prime Video.</p>

<p><strong>Ammu</strong></p>

<p>Released in 2022, Telugu hit <em>Ammu</em>&nbsp;is a stunning rejoinder to domestic violence that is normalised in society and follows the story of a woman determined to bring an end to her abusive husband's reign as a police officer. &nbsp;Ammu is portrayed with raw emotion by Aishwarya Lekshmi who makes the audience feel both the vulnerability and the simmering rage of a battered wife.</p>

<p><img alt="Ammu" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="54509e32-c315-4b4a-9104-ed120240996c" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-05T112645.750.jpg" /></p>

<p>Directed by Charukesh Sekar, the film displays the harsh realities of domestic violence and the lengths a woman may go to seek justice and protect herself. <em>Ammu</em> sheds light on the urgent need for a more empathetic society where the cycle of abuse can be broken once and for all. The film also stars Naveen Chandra, and Bobby Simha and can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.</p>

Five powerful regional narratives that challenge patriarchy fearlessly

<p>Good news for the former <em>Game of Thrones</em> family! The duo met on the sets of the most-watched shows of all time, fell in love, got married, and are now expanding their family. We are talking about Kit Harington and Rose Leslie. The duo welcomed their second child recently.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A representative for the couple confirmed the news to People and said that the couple is “delighted to have welcomed a little girl into the family.”</p>

<h2><strong>Kit Harington announced the couple's second pregnancy during the Jimmy Fallon Show</strong></h2>

<p>It was first revealed that the couple was expecting their second child when Kit Harington made the announcement during an appearance on <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon</em> in February. He had then said that their two-year-old son was “about to get the shock of his life.” Explaining his state of mind to the TV show host, Kit said that his mindset is completely different this time around than it was when they were preparing for their first child.</p>

<p><img alt="Kit and Rose" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e10afe78-2dd0-4e40-8e51-b3ee7ccba308" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-04T102317.494.jpg" /></p>

<p>Kit Harington, who played Jon Snow in <em>Game of Thrones</em> said, “I’m terrified. You know, with the first baby, you’re like walking on clouds and dancing through fields of daisies for nine months — well, the man is, anyway. But this time, the reality check comes much shorter. You get practical real quick.”</p>

Game of Thrones stars Kit Harington, Rose Leslie welcome second child

<p>India is a huge market for luxury brand lovers who like to splurge and show off wealth, with the country being home to a sizeable number of millionaires and billionaires. While there’s a huge space for luxury retailers to capitalise on this, there is a growing market for those who like the idea of wearing chic cloths that offer the luxury of expert craftsmanship using high-end quality material but ‘quiet luxury’: sans any logo or hyper monogram that a large percentage of high-end consumers are usually after.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is 'Quiet Luxury'?</strong></h2>

<p>Quiet luxury usually refers to clothes that come from uber-luxurious brands that offer staples at exorbitant prices but without the cliche showoff that comes attached. Think of Mark Zuckerberg’s regular black, white, and blue tees that he’s usually spotted wearing. Taking inspiration from this, there is now a branch of quiet luxury that offers non-branded luxurious clothes to people who appreciate opulence without the pomp. If you love the luxurious Louis Vuitton suits or Tom Ford leather jackets but don't want to shell out those astronomical figures, there are manufacturers who are offering perfect solutions. One such case is ANTIBRND. Able Sunny, cofounder of ANTIBRND came up with the idea with his other founders, out of personal reasons.</p>

<p><img alt="luxury" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9ef3c363-cb21-46a3-a266-41a9b1ff2599" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-04T105122.648.jpg" /></p>

<p>“Even though our country makes products for most of the major luxury brands of the world, we Indians were always deprived of quality, be it apparel or other products. Not being able to afford a leather jacket at a point when we really wanted one was the turning point. We found a way out by finding a manufacturer to make one within the budget. Figured this should be available for others as well. Since we were already in the garment business, it became easier to connect the best Indian manufacturers and customers directly,” said Able Sunny.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>You can now buy from manufacturers who make luxury fashion at a fraction of its cost</strong></h2>

<p>Imagine walking into the factory that makes shirts for DKNY and asking them to make you a black shirt. You want the same exact high-quality material, the same meticulous craftsmanship, and similar designs. The only thing that is missing is the big logo. If you paid the shirt maker fairly for the materials and the labour, the shirt would run you about Rs.1200, which is a tiny fraction of a Rs.16000 shirt you would pick up at a branded store. These quiet luxury companies sell those clothes without the outrageous price that comes along with the logo. It is disrupting the luxury manufacturing and retail industry in India with its direct-to-consumer approach.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="luxury" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="42cdb23e-ff10-4816-a7ef-408c0d960190" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-04T104647.346.jpg" /></p>

<p>This company has no direct relationship with luxury brands. They are just a platform that enables manufacturers across categories, to make the best products, take the inventory risk and and earn by connecting customers directly to them. They use the same best resources big luxury brands use such as the fabrics, manufacturers, trims, etc, and sell it to the customer at a much better deal. “Every product is freshly made by the same manufacturer by sourcing similar or even higher quality materials from the vendors. We are able to provide higher value because there is no high-end branding, fashion shows or high-end store rent to pay for. The manufacturer takes the risk of the inventory and earns much more than while working with the brands,” explained Sunny.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>It works for people who don't care about logos</strong></h2>

<p>But ‘quiet luxury'&nbsp;only works for people who don’t care about their wardrobe having branded clothes. It caters to people who care about quality and value for money. ANTIBRND, for example, has people who are seniour employees of companies and are highly paid, as early adopters. These are people who are in the age of 28-55 and earn upwards of Rs 700,000 a month. “There is no need for them to prove anything to others and they are aware of how the industry works,” Sunny said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“Also a big majority of the middle class like us, for whom the price of branded goods was a barrier to good quality. Our products start at just 599 enabling them to experience luxury quality without breaking the bank,” he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kevin Spacey might be eager to return to work, but his past lingers on as the man who accused the Oscar-winning actor of sexual assault called him a “slippery, snaky, difficult person” while detailing the experience. The victim said that the sexual assaults caused him shame, anxiety, and depression.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The victim worked with Kevin Spacey in the early 2000s when he came to the Old Vic Theatre. “I can’t stand watching the man. It makes me feel sick," he said. The man cannot be identified under British law. In a video from his police interview, he is quoted saying, “It does make me feel a bit sick talking about it.”</p>

<h2><strong>The details of the alleged sexual assault</strong></h2>

<p>It started with Kevin Spacey questioning him about his sexuality. Kevin then allegedly became “touchy-feely" and moved on to aggressive groping when they were alone together. “He was right from the get-go grooming me," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Kevin Spacey has pleaded not guilty to a dozen charges involving four men for events that date from 2001 to 2013. The charges include sexual assault, indecent assault, and causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity without consent.</p>

<h2><strong>If convicted, Kevin Spacey can go to prison</strong></h2>
