International Film Festival, Alia Bhatt and Rekha take the stage in elegant sarees to win the night

by
Alia Bhatt
  • At International Film Festival, celebrities walked the red carpet.
  • Rekha and Alia Bhatt went to the awards show and talked openly.
  • The night was won by the two Bollywood queens thanks to their sarees.

At last night’s Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival in Mumbai, celebrities walked the red carpet. Anupam Kher, Varun Dhawan, Tejasswi Prakash, Dulquer Salmaan, Shriya Saran, and Rishab Shetty were among the numerous celebrities who attended the event. Veteran actress Rekha and Alia Bhatt also went to the awards show and talked openly on the red carpet. The night was won by the two Bollywood queens thanks to their stunning sarees and remarkable elegance.

At the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival, Alia Bhatt and Rekha took home the night’s award. On Monday, the two of them attended the festival. Rekha looked as elegant as ever in her signature beige and golden silk saree, while Alia chose a saree with white net embroidery. On the red carpet, the two women shared candid moments and posed for the photographers.

A gold patti border, intricate floral thread embroidery, and sequin work adorn Alia’s ivory saree. The pallu fell from her shoulder as she draped the saree in a traditional manner. The ensemble was completed by a matching blouse with a cropped length, plunging neckline, half sleeves with sheer panels, and thread embroidery.

Last but not least, Alia styled the six yards with only a diamond ring and matching, sleek earrings. The glam picks were completed by center-parted open tresses, a delicate black bindi, a nude pink lip shade, subtle eye shadow, light mascara on the lashes, blushed, glowing skin, and kohl-lined eyes.

In contrast, Rekha wore a beige silk saree with a floral pattern and a wide golden patti border, and she looked as glamorous as ever. The veteran star chose a gold blouse with a round neck to complement her signature six yards in traditional fashion. Rekha ultimately selected gold jhumkis, matching bangles, a ring, a bold red lip color, sleek eyeliner, heavy mascara, gold eye shadow, and minimal glowing makeup to complete the look.

In the meantime, Alia Bhatt won the Best Actress award at the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival for her performance as Gangubai Kathiawadi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film. A special award was also presented to Rekha for her “Outstanding Contribution to the Film Industry.”

Anurag admits that Sanjay Leela Bhansali despised Dev D

by
Anurag
  • Anurag Kashyap spoke about filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in a new interview.
  • He also revealed Sanjay’s reaction to his Dev D (2009) adaptation.
  • Both films are based on Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic Bengali novel Devdas.

In a recent interview, Anurag Kashyap discussed the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. A few years after the premiere of the director’s Devdas (2002), which starred Shah Rukh Khan, he also discussed Sanjay’s response to his film Dev D (2009). The renowned Bengali novel Devdas by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay is the basis for both movies. However, according to Anurag in a recent interview, Sanjay “hated” his interpretation of Devdas.

Sanjay did not like Dev D, according to Anurag Kashyap, who even said that Dev D had “ruined Chandramukhi and Paro.” In Sanjay’s Devdas, Aishwarya Rai played the role of Paro, Devdas’ childhood friend, while Madhuri Dixit played his confidante Chandramukhi, a courtesan. Mahi Gill portrays Abhay’s childhood sweetheart in Anurag’s contemporary rendition of the Bengali classic, which is set in modern-day Punjab and Delhi and features Chanda (Kalki Koechlin), a sex worker.

Anurag responded, “He (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) despised it,” when asked what Sanjay thought of Dev D in a recent interview with Unfiltered By Samdish. You have damaged Chandramukhi and Paro, he claimed. He mentioned it to Vikram (Vikramaditya Motwane), his assistant and a co-writer on Dev D, rather than to me. Bhansali is an expert. He is a complete freak of genius when it comes to music and dancing. He has now also learned about violence. He displayed violence in Gangubai (Alia Bhatt’s 2022 film Gangubai Kathiawadi). I went and told him, “tu apne limitations se bahar nikla,” since I was so ecstatic about it (you are now coming out of your limitations)

Anurag continued by describing how Sanjay had been angered by a magazine article he had once written about the film Black (2005). Anurag claimed the director of the movie with Rani Mukerji and Amitabh Bachchan believed he was “his adversary.” Black asked Anurag if he liked him, and Anurag said, “I didn’t. I refused to believe it. Sanjay was really unhappy when I wrote about why I didn’t believe it. Since it was personal to him, the work was not intended for publication. Hum dost ho gaye hain, ab wapis. When the ice breaks, it will be mujhe karna pada khud jaa ke (we are friends again after I went and broke the ice with him)… Anurag is an extremely reserved individual.

He has a terrible public presence. I keep reminding him that he should let go of that. He takes his time before he can trust someone. He also manages his personal trauma. He grew up watching the movie business extremely carefully and detested it.

Alaya F and rookie Karan Mehta played the main characters in Anurag Batra’s final movie, Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat. It became available on February 3. The movie saw Anurag and Amit Trivedi, who had previously collaborated on Dev D, return to the romantic musical genre.

RRR gets on the BAFTA 2023 longlist instead of Gangubai Kathiawadi

by
RRR
  • The longlist for the BAFTA 2023 (British Academy Film Awards) has been released.
  • RRR, the SS Rajamouli film, has now joined the race.
  • Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is no longer eligible.

The Alia Bhatt-starring film Gangubai Kathiawadi is apparently no longer eligible for the BAFTA 2023 longlist. RRR, the SS Rajamouli film, has now joined the race, though.

The longlist for the 24 categories of the BAFTA 2023 (British Academy Film Awards) has finally been released. The SS Rajamouli-directed film RRR, one of the biggest blockbusters to come out of India in 2022, has been added to the BAFTA 2023 longlist under the heading “Film not in the English language.” The creators of RRR announced the incredibly thrilling update on Friday, January 6, via a social media post. However, the film Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is no longer eligible for a BAFTA.

Rumor has it that the film starring Alia Bhatt has been nominated for every major category on the BAFTA 2023 longlist, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Leading Actress. As part of the BAFTA Awards campaign, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali attended some significant events in London. This time, the director gave his first-ever BAFTA masterclass, during which he spoke at length about his storied Bollywood career. During a Q&A session, he spoke with film students as well. Bhansali had already received a BAFTA nomination for the beloved Devdas, starring Shah Rukh Khan, in 2003.

RRR on the BAFTA longlist for 2023
On the other hand, the Ram Charan-Jr. NTR starrer has unquestionably made quite an impact on international platforms and has received nominations at major prestigious film awards in 2023. ” The BAFTA longlist for the “film not in the English language” category includes a mention of RRR. It is located next to “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Argentina, 1985,” “Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths,” “Close,” “Corsage,” “Decision to Leave,” “EO,” “Holy Spider,” and “The Quiet Girl,” among others. ” SS Rajamouli’s film has been added to the longlist, according to the official press release posted on the BAFTA website.

The RRR
The imaginary meeting of Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komuram Bheem, two of Telugu States’ most renowned liberation fighters, is at the heart of SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus. Ram Charan plays Alluri Sitarama Raju in the project, which was written by KV Vijayendra Prasad, and Jr. NTR plays Komuram Bheem. Bollywood icon Ajay Devgn had a cameo appearance, and Alia Bhatt played Alluri Sitarama Raju’s lady love Sita in the film. A follow-up to RRR is expected very shortly.

Gangubai
The biographical drama is based on a real-life lady named Gangubai Kothewali, a sex worker who subsequently rose to become a mafia queen. It was the first time Alia Bhatt and filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali worked together on camera. Alia received a great deal of praise for her outstanding work as the title character Gangubai in the movie, which also starred Ajay Devgn in a supporting role and a stellar ensemble cast that included Vijay Raaz, Shantanu Maheshwari, Seema Pahwa, and others.
