Bollywood’s dancing queen, diva, and indeed an idol among millions of Indians across the globe, Madhuri Dixit-Nene is now all set to feature in a Marathi film.
Currently untitled, it is a slice of life film that revolves around the self-realization journey of a woman (played by Madhuri) with a dash of humour attached to its narrative style. The film will be directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar who has also written the film along with Devashree Shivadekar. The film is co-produced by Subhedar and Aarti Subhedar of Blue Mustang Creations along with Vivek Rangachari and Arun Rangachari of Dar Motion Pictures (producers of The Lunch Box)
Madhuri genuinely believes cinema is beyond language and an effective story shown with expressive visuals can break language barriers and enthrall audiences across the globe.
Talking about the subject, Madhuri expressed, “It is a story of every household yet it has a silver lining.

Apparently, Wonder Woman and the rest of her superhero kind have no place in school . or, at the very least, not in one particular school. One little girl had no idea what was to come in simply using a fun Wonder Woman lunch box to carry her Pb&J. But alas, it's 2015, and well, the girl's school quickly banned her lunch box from the premises for the most ridiculous reason. An Imgur user posted a series of pics to the photo-sharing platform revealing that the daughter of a friend was banned from bringing her Wonder Woman lunch box into school. Though the user wouldn.t name the school in question, photos of the offending lunch box and the letter from the school were posted. The lunch box, which you can see here, has a old-school image of Wonder Woman.s face on the front, while the back has her full...

A grab bag of new specialized openings were led by "The Lunch Box" (Sony Pictures Classics), a low-budget Indian film from a first-time director that nabbed attention at Cannes last May and showed significant early life in its two-city opening. Two other more unusual offerings showed modest per screen averages in wider breaks: "Repentance" (Lionsgate) played mainly in African-American theaters, while Russian war film "Stalingrad" (Sony, in IMAX 3D) was ill-timed. "The Wind Rises" (Disney" had much bigger success in its expansion. "Ernest and Celestine" (GKids) was strong in its single theater Los Angeles debut. Opening "The Lunchbox" (Sony Pictures Classics) - Criticwire: B+; Metacritic: 74; Festivals include: Cannes 2013, Telluride 2013, Toronto 2013, AFI 2013 $51,325 in 3 theaters (PSA: $17,108) Falling just short of "Gloria" as the best non-exclusive limited subtitled opening in recent months, and the best one for Spc since early last summer (Pedro Almodovar's...
