Ram Kamal Mukherjee je kritikom bollywoodskej kinematografie, známym svojimi bystrými komentármi o indickom filme. Jeho raná kariéra sa sústredila na žurnalistiku, kde prispieval do významných publikácií a skúmal životy filmových hviezd. Mukherjee sa neskôr presunul k písaniu fikcie, kde čitateľom ponúka pútavé príbehy, ktoré sa ponárajú do ľudskej skúsenosti. Jeho tvorba sa vyznačuje bystrým pozorovaním zábavného priemyslu a rozvíjajúcou sa majstrovstvom vo fiktívnom rozprávaní.
There can be no last word on Sanjay Dutt. Ever. Even as he walks a free man after more than three decades of prison terms and controversies, Dutt remains a classic case study in all that defines the 'star' system in Hollywood industry known for its deep-rooted sense of entitlement.
One of the most enduring divas of Hindi cinema, a producer and director for films and television, dancer and choreographer par excellence, magazine editor, an active member of Parliament and now a singer, Hema Malini wears many hats with admirable ease. No other industry name comes close to matching the breadth of her achievements. In an industry where the male star has traditionally driven the commercial success of films, Hema was an exception, with her name alone sufficing to ensure a film's box-office glory. She was, arguably, India's first female superstar. Apart from starring in mainstream super-hits like Johny Mera Naam, Jugnu, Andaz, Seeta Aur Geeta, Sholay and, more recently, Baghban, she received critical acclaim for her performances in Lal Patthar, Khushboo, Kinara, Meera, Ek Chadar Maili Si and Razia Sultan. But there is much more to her than just her Bollywood journey. From her efforts at reviving and sustaining classical dance to her graceful handling of her personal life and the controversies that have plagued her in her political avatar, from her relationships to her religious beliefs and her recent tryst with singing, Hema Malini: Beyond the Dream Girl covers it all. With detailed interviews and exclusive anecdotes from her family, friends and co-actors, this is an inside look at the remarkable life of one of our greatest cinema icons, someone who has truly lived life on her own terms.
