Famous Bollywood singer Lata Mangeshkar once said "Mehdi Hasan kay galay mein bhagwan bolta hai" (God speaks through Mehdi Hasan). Mehdi Hasan's singing career began with the ghazal Meray Khayal-0- Khwab Ki Duniya Liye Huway. His magnificent and magical masterpieces have refused to age with the passage of time. There is a long list of ghazals sung by Mehdi Hasan and picking out just one as the best is very difficult. In the mid-eighties, Radio Pakistan's announcer Azim Sarwar said that Elahi Aansoo Bhari Zindagi Kisi Ko Na Day is Mehdi Hasan's number one song, but of course many would argue. Mehdi Hasan's superb art is evident everywhere throughout his work.

White Noise Indian Film in English

Alongside the typical pretty Bollywood romances, a new breed of off the wall films are growing in production. These films are intended specifically for the English-speaking urban elites of India, Indians living abroad and international film enthusiasts. The latest to join such films is White Noise, which premiered in the Indian capital New Delhi. Despite being an Indian film produced by the local media professionals, the film is targeted for English-speaking audiences with very little Hindi dialogue. Even the creators of White Noise don't know where this new trend is going but it is evident that this new film culture is blooming in India alongside the Bollywood mainstream.

Alexander Movie Review

The stars of the film Alexander feel proud about taking the epic tale to the big screen. Based on a true story, Alexander stars COlin Farrell playing the role of a warrior king who conquered most of the known world by the age of 25.
