Kronos Quartet Joins Legendary Singer Asha Bhosle at UCLA Liv... 8/1/2005 In more than 300 film scores, Burman entranced audiences with melodies steeped in intrigue, festooned with jewels, and stained with tears and henna — an eclecticism mirrored in ever-surprising combinations of Indian classical and folk music, swing jazz, psychedelic rock, circus music, can-can, mariachi, and more. Bhosle has sung in virtually every Indian language, as well as in Russian and Malay. The ever-intrepid Kronos Quartet will be joined by legendary Bollywood playback singer Asha Bhosle in a tribute to one of classic Indian cinema's most popular and prolific composers — and Bhosle's late husband — Rahul Dev "R.D." Burman. newsroom.ucla.edu /page.asp?RelNum=6336   (1075 words)

In Animated Moves Kaul who had the privilege of assisting the late Raj Kapoor in films like Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Henna and Premrog admits he has learnt a lot from him. He even completed the mahurat shot, but unfortunately the film did not work out when he was alive.’’ After having received various awards, including the prestigious national film award and the Salaam Bombay award for the best patriotic film, for his last film Param Vir Chakra, Kaul promises to surprise the audience with his latest flick Bhaggmati-The Queen of Fortunes, which is slated for release in August. cities.expressindia.com /fullstory.php?newsid=140219   (403 words)

Metropolis - Kikujiro's summer Although the film, Kikujiro No Natsu (titled Kikujiro for foreign distribution), was one of the most popular among audiences at the festival, it failed to win any awards, but has nevertheless already been picked up by several international film distributors. The road-movie concept is highlighted by innumerable humorous episodes and weird personalities, including a couple of Harley bikers, a would-be-novelist and a child molester, with these episodes separated by TV sketch-like titled sequences, such as "henna ojisan". Though certainly not the tightest of his films, and not rising to the masterly levels of Sonatine, Kikujiro No Natsu still bears the unmissable trademarks of Kitano Takeshi. www.metropolis.co.jp /tokyoculturearchive299/271/tokyocultureinc.htm   (403 words)

American University Library - Islamic Mediagraphy The film includes the ceremonies as well as the Urdu songs (with English sub-titles) that are part of a traditional Ismailite wedding.

SPLICEDwire "Monsoon Wedding" review (2002) Mira Nair, Naseeruddin Shah, Vasundhara Das Meanwhile, amusing pre-wedding chaos includes an endless parade of family arrivals, a constant ringing of cell phones, a gaggle of aunts and female cousins dominating Aditi's time with henna tattoos and other traditions, and the bride's flustered father (Neseeruddin Shah) humorously butting heads with everyone. The charm of this film should waft through your living room like good cooking. This is easier said than done, since even the night before the wedding she's still being led to temptation by a lover she's trying to leave behind -- a married, egocentric and manipulative TV talk show host. www.splicedonline.com /02reviews/monsoonwed.html   (488 words)

Monsoon Wedding Monsoon Wedding is a nice melding of the two, presenting a decidedly Indian film in such a manner as to appeal to all audiences. Henna painting and traditional wedding garb mix with cell phones, GRE studybooks and cooking shows on tv. Monsoon Wedding is about the melding of two cultures, traditional Indian and Western (well, maybe not "Western" per se). www.haro-online.com /movies/monsoon_wedding.html   (608 words)

Monsoon Wedding (2001) Visually, Monsoon Wedding is a feast for the eyes, from the brightly retro credits sequences, to the miles of marigold garlands draped everywhere, to the bride’s elaborately henna-painted hands, to the colorful silk swirling around cousin Sasha (Kamini Khanna) as she spins through a sensuous wedding dance. The film operates on different social levels as well, with the story of the upscale arranged marriage interposed with the hesitant attraction between Alice (Tilotama Shome), the maid of the bride’s family, and P. Dubey (Vijay Raaz), the goofy wedding planner they’ve hired. A wedding is even more problematic than a family reunion, because a wedding is a juxtaposition (not to say a joining) of two families. decentfilms.com /sections/reviews/1710   (588 words)

Rotten Tomatoes Forums - Guy Maddin: Cowards Bend the Knee Given its world premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in January, Cowards requires the viewer to watch it through a series of 10 monitors installed behind peepholes for that added dash of lurid pleasure. This sex, murder and henna-rinse ghost thriller shot in gorgeously flickering black-and-white is centred on the derring-do of a scoundrel named Guy Maddin, who plays hockey for the Winnipeg Maroons hockey club and whose mom, like Guy's own, owns a beauty parlour. With Cowards, "it was weird making a movie with a protagonist called `Guy Maddin,'" says his namesake. www.rottentomatoes.com /vine/showthread.php?t=218146   (588 words)

DVD Review - Demetrius And The Gladiators "Demetrius and the Gladiators," released in 1954, was the sequel to Fox’s box-office smash "The Robe," which came out one year earlier and ushered in widescreen movie going with the introduction of Cinemascope. "Demetrius" earns points for having Susan Hayward play the wayward Messalina; with her henna mane and sultry voice, any man would be nuts not to follow her to perdition. The film opens exactly where "The Robe" left off. www.dvdreview.com /fullreviews/demetrius_and_the_gladiators.shtml   (877 words)

Scarlet Fever! You can see the toll Scarlet Fever has taken upon young Mena simply by the malaise on her face in the American Pie still (far right); even though the fever will probably break, we still fear that, in her weakened state, Mena will sign on to yet another film with "American" in the title. If anyone can pull red off, it's Nicole--thereby making her a danger and a contagion to all the women of America who spy a package of Clairol at the grocery store and actually believe that they will emerge from their bathroom, two henna-stained hours later, and look like the picture on the box. By contrast, one of the more godforsaken cases of Scarlet Fever in the ward. www.dailydigest.net /scarletfever.html   (895 words)

portland imc - 2004.08.18 - Deliberate EUGENIC RADIATION POISONING of 100,000+ Sephardi/Yemeni by Israel/U.S. in 1950s The expose began with the presentation of a documentary film called, 100,000 Radiations, and concluded with a panel discussion moderated by TV host Dan Margalit, surprising because he is infamous for toeing the establishment line. Everyone notices that Sephardi women in their fifties today, often have sparse patchy hair, which they try to cover with henna. Every Sephardi child was to be given 35,000 times the maximum dose of x-rays through his head. portland.indymedia.org /en/2004/08/295000.shtml   (895 words)

Personalities of Indian Cinema - Writers Directors & Lyricists In 1951, he launched his own production unit Naya Sansar, but his best scripts were the ones he wrote for R.K.

GupShup - Night of Henna You want to root for the home team, and goodness knows how hard it is to get an independent film made these days, but while the San Francisco-made "Night of Henna" is colorful and has its heart in the right place, its story of intergenerational conflict between immigrant parents and increasingly Westernized children falls flat. Hava is amazed at the freedom women have in America, and she shocks her family by taking a job at a coffee shop run by a fellow Pakistani, Baboo (Reef Karim of 'Flavors' Fame). Unbeknownst to her, Mom and Dad have arranged a marriage to Salman (Suhail Tayeb), who is dating a white woman and happily pursuing his own independent American lifestyle. www.paklinks.com /gs/printthread.php?t=176590   (1361 words)
