There was a time when Manoj Bajpayee was the next big thing. He was not the leading man in Satya but he became synonymous with Satya instead of JD Chakravarthy who played the titular role in the film. This was a real acting star, someone who could take on the biggest and privileged dynasts of […]

Sonakshi Sinha supporting a hippie look.

Sonakshi Sinha is back, but not in a film but in a music video, that too as a singer and not only as the singer. To be honest it is not sure whether to be elated or terrified with the prospect of Bollywood actresses releasing singles, especially after the ‘exotic’ stuff Pee Cee came up […]
