usic Happening-Gulzar - Ilayaraja together Again
A legendary pair will soon be working together again, much to the delight of their fans. After 26 years, veteran lyricist Gulzar and music maestro Ilayaraja are teaming up for 'SRK'. The last time they worked together was in 1983, for the Sridevi-Kamal starrer 'Sadma.


Profile-Anoushka Shankar
Being Pandit Ravi Shankar's daughter is daunting - he is one of the best known musicians not only in India, but the world over. Howver, his daughter Anoushka Shankar, a sitarist , like her father, seems anything but awed. She does not want to deny her history just because her father is who he is. He is also her guru and she will always be proud of the fact that she is his daughter.


Music Happening-The Music Goes on in Mumbai
The November 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks have made a deep impression in the minds of its cosmopolitan inhabitants. For law and order personnel, it means more vigilance, increased security, and sleepless nights. Still, the city has returned to normalcy surprisingly fast and we applaud its spirit.


Movie Review-Gulaal
Set in the fictional Rajpur town of modern-day Rajasthan, Gulaal is rife with stories of student politics, a secret local rebellion for an independent Rajputana state and love taking it forward. The meek Dileep Singh (Raj Singh Chaudhary) is an idealistic man who gets caught in the whirlpool of student politics. Bollywood gets yet another talented actor in Raj Singh Chaudhari who happens to be the co-writer of the film's story


Interview-Mahalaxmi Iyer on Rahman
Earlier people criticized him as the keyboard man only but for singers he gave us superb melodies to sing and the way he records a number even the singer doesn?t know how it will sound in the end and we end up being surprised by his virtuosity. He completely deserves the recognition he has got and it'll help all of India.


Movie Review-Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge
DRJ (meaning �you�d keep on searching) makes one intensify his search to find out as to what the director was aiming at his fans. If you are looking for intelligent comedy flicks like the Amol Palekar-starrer �Golmaal�, you might as well find that your hopes are once again dashed by this film.


Profile-Soha Ali Khan
Soha is one of few artists who manage to combine mainstream 'commercial' cinema and arty films successfully. She loves variety and that makes it easy for her to take on both types of films. She does a few films because she wants to give her best. Otherwise, she is not too motivated to join the rat race in Bollywood, where actresses kick each other out of the way to achieve that elusive Number One status which never lasts anyway.


Music Snippet-Sa Re Ga Ma of Bollywood
Kylie goes Blue in Bollywood, Honorary doctorate for Rahman, No surprise in Filmfare awards, Professionalism personified, Rapping away, Asha never forgets, The Rs. 80 lakh song, Chaat, anyone, Classical Music and Dance Festival, Lata recovering from knee surgery
