Even for their other 'Murder' films, Vishesh films had turned to international cinema for inspiration - while the first one was a blatant copy of Richard Gere starrer 'Unfaithful', Murder 2 was inspired by the Korean film 'Chaser'. So it was unlike the production house to finally taken the official route with 'Murder 3' which is a Fox Star ...

In an age when the idea of religious community is determined by stereotypes and old fault lines, Saba Naqvi takes a journey across the country in search of her own identity among people, communities and shrines that challenge our pre-determined notions of what makes a Muslim or a Hindu. Along the way, she finds places and people on the periphery of absolute identities, culling out a unique space for themselves...

Cast: Azim Rizvi, Faith Mehra, Rakhi Sawant, Ashwin Kaushal and Satish Kaushik Director: Ashfaque Makrani Rating: 1 out of 5. It's not every day that you get to see a film which is a collage of yesteryear's films, and that too, a horrible mish-mash. 'Qasam Se Qasam Se' lacks originality from the word go. The premise is simple, but with a hackneyed plot. It is about a college romance between...

The supreme goal was always liberation " mukti. And the spiritual practitioner was always a seeker, never a believer. Over a period of time, the spiritual process has grown concretised, and this sometimes looks like...

Thiruvananthapuram: The ruling CPI(M) and powerful Catholic Church in Kerala are headed for a collision course once again with the apex body of bishops issuing a pastoral letter urging the Christian community to choose only "God-fearing" and "selfless" candidates in polls. The Kerala Catholic Bishops Council (KCBC) circular, read out in most churches across the state before the Sunday congregations, was apparently aimed at the civic polls that are round...
