Advaita Kala, also considered a pioneer of India's chick lit genre, says women are also heroes and need better representation in Bollywood.

That's where his roots, family and career are," said Ghosh. Ghosh...

Kolkata: If Vidya Balan-starrer Kahaani has catapulted director Sujoy Ghosh into the big league, it has also benefited much-neglected single-screen theatres in the city that have done roaring business for three weeks now.

New Delhi: "Nomoshkar, ek minute." Remember this phrase. The next time a nondescript Life Insurance Corporation agent rings your doorbell in the middle of the day and reaches into his worn leather side bag, you may want to barricade the door and call the police.

New Delhi: As a straightforward, salt-of-the-earth thriller, Kahaani is unusual for its lack of a typical star cast. Its protagonist is a heavily pregnant woman in her mid 30s, the story unfurls in a city rarely used as a backdrop for mainstream Bollywood films and there is not even a lip-synched song in the narrative. Without any of the paraphernalia that go into making a typical Bollywood hit film, Kahaani...
