From the heartbreaking but brilliant Rang De Basanti, to the wonderful Delhi 6, to the inspiring Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has brought Indian cinema some of its greatest films.
With his film Mirzya, he has now turned his focus on the Punjabi folk tale Mirza-Sahiban, but presenting it in a unique way. Interweaving the legendary folklore with a contemporary version, this musical brings out the story of a love that will never die. Joining him in transforming this story is the esteemed writer and poet Gulzar. Adding to the worlds of Mirzya is music by the great Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy.
Mirzya introduces Harshvardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher, along with Anuj Chaudhary. Also bringing the story to life are the screen masters, Om Puri, Art Malik, and K. K. Raina.
Some of my absolute favorite interviews to conduct are with directors because they just love talking about their movies.

Disney, proving that they’re an ever-moving machine that doesn’t stop to take a break, has announced their new project. Out of Disney India is coming the two-part live-action version of the beloved story of the mythological epic The Mahabharata. The story of warring clans has gone through innumerable adaptations since its inception in 400Bc, but none have quite made it to such a grand scale as the one proposed by Disney. Directed by Abhishek Kapoor (Rock On, Kai Po Che) and written by Ashok Banker (best known for an eight-part novelization of another massive Indian epic The Ramayana), the film has thousands of shoes to fill. There have been films, stage plays and television shows all trying to capture the magic of the classic tale. A television adaptation that ran from 1988-1990 in India was the highest-rated program of the time period. In 1985, the famed British theatre and film director Peter Brook put together a...

Film: "Mahabharat 3D"; Voices of Amitabh Bachchan, Sunny Deol, Vidya Balan, Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, Shatrughan Sinha; Directed by Amaan Khan; Rating: **
If you were hoping that animation films would come of age with this purported epic, you are in for a disappointment. Though the characters from the Mahabharat have faces and voices of the biggest stars, the images do not add up to a compelling canvas. Not by a wide margin.
Or, perhaps, it's because those eminently known faces and voices assume the roles of the mythological characters that we are unable to connect, let alone empathise with the astonishing tale of valour,.
