In how many ways do we love Shakespeare’s paean to love about the doomed alliance between two socially unequal lovers? I am not too sure how far back the co-directors of Sanam Teri Kasam (Stk), this week’s love-lorn saga would like us to go? Is it Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet or Erich Segal’s Love Story?
Either way, Stk is a winsome nugget on love romance and heartbreak with two very watchable newcomers helming the rapturous emotions, navigating the nifty numbers (Himesh Reshammiya) and namkeen dialogues through a coherently charted route to a tragic finale.
A charming simplicity and an arcadian innocence runs through Sanam Teri Kasam, a film far superior in its aspirations and achievements than its namesake released in 1982.

The makers of Vicky Donor are back with 2015’s first family entertainer, Piku starring stalwarts Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Irrfan! Quirky and funny with oodles of situational humor, the film highlights the eccentricities within every Indian family, told in signature Shoojit Sircar style.
If the popularity of the trailer on the social media platform is anything to go by, Piku is amongst the most anticipated films this year. While this film about a crazy father-daughter duo is packaged with ingredients that make for a perfect family comedy, director Shoojit Sircar seems to be bringing back the slice-of-life-cinema which was made popular by filmmakers like Hrishikesh Mukherjee.
A huge admirer of Mukherjee’s work, Shoojit explores a relatable story and human relationships reminiscent of Hrishikesh Mukherjee films like Gol Maal, Mili, Chupke Chupke, Guddi promising clean entertainment to the audiences after a long time.

Seems the tryst with the retro feel and ’70s look in Bollywood continues with Anurag Basu’s upcoming flick Barfi! Set in the 1970′s the director and costumer designers really studied the costumes and worked hard to make sure the costumes in Barfi! fit with the era, but also keeping in mind who the characters are. The director wanted Ileana D’Cruz to look like a small-town girl from Darjeeling and so keeping the essence of her character in mind, they designed her costumes accordingly.
Says the costume designer Shefalina Gupta, “The idea of ’70s fashion is rigid, with big collars, bright prints, tight bellbottoms and, of course, polka dots. Ileana’s character, Shruti, however, is an innocent, sheltered girl from Darjeeling. Anurag wanted practical clothes for the character. Since Shruti stays in Darjeeling, she has to look like a small-town girl. So post marriage, she doesn’t wear chiffon,...
