The legendary playback singer, Asha Bhosle, turned 90 on Friday, and it was disheartening to see that most celebrities forgot to acknowledge her birthday. Known for her versatility, and melodious voice, Asha is one of the most successful singers in Hindi cinema though her body of work extends beyond just the Hindi cinema. In her career spanning over eight decades she has recorded songs for films and albums in various Indian languages.
She has received several accolades, in addition to two Grammy nominations. Bhosle is also honoured with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, and Padma Vibhushan. The Guinness Book of World Records acknowledged Asha in 2011 as the most recorded artist in music history.

The recently released track ‘Mallaah’ (Boatman) by the band Agnee, which is known for the song ‘Aahatein’, was initially created to be a romantic ballad but lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya turned it into a philosophical song with his words. Koco of Agnee made the revelation as he recollected the journey of the song.
‘Mallaah’ takes listeners on a journey of self-discovery and introspection. It captures the quintessential Agnee sound combined with Amitabh Bhattacharya’s lyrical genius. The song uses metaphors of the Mallaah, representing a protector, a saviour and a confidante.

Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh, Mohammad Kaif and Suresh Raina (all cricketers) stopped the shooting of an advertisement to lend their support to a two-hour protest against the Pulwama terror attack on February 14, organised by artistes and technicians belonging to 24 film associations, at Filmcity in Goregaon here on Sunday.
Spear-headed by the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (Fwice), protesters also cautioned filmmakers against working with Pakistani talent or releasing their films in Pakistan.
"The federation won't allow Pakistani artistes to work in Indian films. Also, we won't let producers release their films in Pakistan. The entire trade (with Pakistan) will be called off as far as the film industry is concerned," Fwice chief advisor Ashoke Pandit told Ians.

I am always wary of musicians turning actors. But guess what? Salim Merchant does a decent job in the short-film released on Tuesday. Entitled Fired its title has a layered relevance in the plot. You see, Tillotama Shome (yes, that’s the calibre of co-star Merchant must match up in his acting debut) has just been Fired from her job. She is understandably upset. She calls her chef boyfriend to share the news.
“Don’t drive. Just walk to the restaurant,” Merchant suggests gently, knowing fully well that an angry woman behind the wheels could be dangerous to mankind.
Tillotamma, more glamorous and hip than any of her recent roles have allowed her to be (why is she always playing under-privileged women in suffocating situations?) arrives at the restaurant and begins to break the chocolate cookies angrily in her plate.
Nice touch that. Merchant’s calm beau character Anand’s...
