Abhishek Chaubey: I'd never make sequel for money
by IANS
Mumbai: At a time when sequels are trending in a big way in the film industry, 'Dedh Ishqiya' director Abhishek Chaubey says he didn't plan 'Ishqiya' part two to cash in on commercial viability of the original. Released in 2010, black comedy 'Ishqiya' was high on content and performances by lead actors Naseeruddin Shah, Arshad Warsi and Vidya Balan, who in the role of a conniving, scheming woman with sexual...

Although Rani Mukerji never really quit films, but over the years the bong beauty’s outing at the Box Office has become less. After enjoying stupendous success in the early 2000s, Mukerji’s has now become selective about the films she signs on. Here is our take on some of the films that we thought should have had Mukerji playing one of the characters. People sat up and noticed a fabulous actress called Richa Chadda in Anurag Kashyap's 'Gangs Of Wasseypur'. Chadda's character, Nagma Khatoon is introduced as a young bride in the first part of the film and her character is shown growing old and eventually playing the mother to Nawazuddin%u2019s character. Rani would have done equal justice to Nagma Khatoon%u2019s character and showcased a character who goes character grows with the narrative of the film.While Vidya Balan is actress par excellence, we think Rani Mukerji as Vidya Bagchi in 'Kahaani' would have been perfect. The gritty thriller would have had Rani walking around on the streets of Kolkata, looking for her missing husband. And the last shot where Balan dresses up in red bordered white saree? Imagine Rani in it, would have been perfect, no?

From 'Gabbar' to 'Paan Singh Tomar', Bollywood had only male gangsters to boast about. But we bring to you the brash, sassy and no-nonsense actresses who dared to play dacoits or gangsters on screen. Neha Dhupia was seen playing a dreaded gangster who hates men in 2010 film 'Phas Gaye Re Obama'. Seema Biswas's portrayal of a real life dacoit- Phoolan Devi in 'Bandit Queen' turned out to be the controversial film. Seema also won a National Award for her role in 1996. Another actress to don the garb of a gangster on screen is none other than Shabana Azmi. Shabana plays Rambhi who picks up gun to take revenge for her husband's death. Apart from mouthing a few abuses, her diction and body language, 'Godmother' makes Shabana Azmi one of the most versatile actress of Bollywood.
