Sarojji was a perfectionist: Prabhudheva
Ace-choreographer filmmaker actor Prabhudheva calls the late Saroj Khan “a legend beyond legends.” “Her dance numbers were not just about dancing. A whole universe of feelings and moods went into them. I don’t know if any choreographer in India was as popular as Sarojji. She was equally popular in the North and South.

Sarojji was an institution: Remo D’Souza
Choreographer-director Remo D’Souza had the unique privilege of working with the legendary Saroj Khan in her last film. Says Remo, “When I was offered to do Kalank by Karan Johar and he mentioned that I’d be choreographing a song with Sarojji, I was scared and excited. Scared, because Sarojji had such a larger than life persona, and she was an institution. I considered her my grandmother. She was definitely the grandmother of choreography in Hindi cinema. Before she came there were great choreographers. But none got their due recognition. Sarojji paved the way for all of us cho | Click Here...

There are many stories floating around about various entertainment-related events being cancelled. But the one that caught my eye had to do with Salman Khan’s underproduction action drama Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. Reports stated that the Thailand schedule of Radhe had been cancelled due to the coronavirus scare. And then came the report that another schedule of Radhe had been cancelled in Azerbaijan.

Review of Street Dancer: Is a whole lot of fun
Starring Prabhudheva, Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor, Aparshakti Directed by Remo D’Souza Rating: **** ½(4 and a half stars) Impressively, Prabhudheva gets top billing in this zany political parable about how India and Pakistan can beat the Gora Log, a.k.a the First World, if we only stop bickering about cricket and politics. Prabhu remains one helluva of hellraiser on the dance floor. By the time he gets down to doing his own Muqabla song in a trance dance, this time choreographed by director Remo D'Souza, he becomes the sole of the film, and I do mean SOLE. That | Click Here...
5 Reasons Why Remo-Varun-Shraddha-Prabhudheva Will Wow Us Again
Street Dancer is Remo D’Souza’s genre-defining film. Remo is the master of dance movies. He proved it with ABCD (2013), ABCD 2 (2015), and now there is the third film in the franchise, not called ABCD 3, but Street Dancer, which returns to spin a swirling spell. Sure, Remo erred with Race 3, which, by the way, made enough money to be considered a hit by normal standards, but not Salman Khan's. 3D seems to have made a comeback of sorts in 2020. Tanhaji in 3D is already a hit. Street Dancer is Remo’s third dance film in 3D. And this time, the 3D dance | Click Here...
Dabangg 3 Collections drop drastically on Monday
Film trade’s hopes that the collections of Dabangg 3 would improve were dashed. The film is heading towards being a major disaster. There was a drop in the collection on Day 2 sending alarm bells across the trade about the commercial viability of Salman’s Dabangg franchise. Now post-weekend on Monday the collections have dropped drastically, by up to 60 percent in several areas.

Review of Dabangg 3: Salman, Please Take A Break
Starring Salman Khan and…does it matter? Directed by Salman Khan (officially Prabhudheva) Rating: Are you joking? Okay then *(1 star) Salman Khan is such a huge star. He can get his audience to watch something relevant, or at least something coherent. Dabangg 3 is neither relevant nor coherent. It is a film (if we may call it that) which makes any sane rational human being beg for mercy. What wrong have we done to deserve almost three hours of this tedious over-saturated bombastic and imbecilic torture masquerading as a movie which brings back the overgrown b | Click Here...
Farce & Furious: 5 Plus Points Of Dabangg 3
1. It’s directed by Prabhudheva and not the hero’s talentless brother who directed the second film in the franchise. Still, Part 3 is no patch on Part 1 (by the way what happened to its director Abhinav Kashyap?). But it’s better than Part 2. Which isn’t saying, much, really.What the faraq! 2. While the rest of the cast looks jaded and saturated, Saaee Manjrekar is a whiff of fresh unpolluted air, simper-free and unspoilt and not in awe of her superstar-hero. In comparison Sonakshi Sinha looks jaded and blasé. Despite their embarrassing age difference, Salman and Saaee look | Click Here...
Dabangg 3 subdued release, will it be a Salman blockbuster?
All eyes are on the Salman Khan-Prabhudheva combination as they unleash Dabangg 3 this weekend. This hit franchise seems to have hit a rough spot with its release of the third part. Marketing experts say the buzz is just not strong enough. And the number of theatres and screens is far lower than the first two Dabangg films. Says trade analyst Atul Mohan, “The film’s marketing team is to be blamed for this. They thought Salman Khan alone is enough and the film doesn't need a | Click Here...
Dabangg 3: Would Salman take credit for editing? – Prabhudheva clarifies
By now everyone who works with Salman Khan knows he is in it the whole hog. Salman oversees every project he is cast in. He has a say in the casting, music, direction, editing, and marketing. That’s the package deal that even Prabhudheva can’t escape. Prabhudheva who directs Salman in two back-to-back projects Dabangg 3 and Radhe has happily “allowed”(not that Prabhu had any choice in the matter) Salman to sit on the editing of Dabangg 3. A source very close to the development reveals, “Almost every shot of Dabang | Click Here...
