Like the bz Basel reported that opened Studio Central last weekend its doors again to the public. Yashonda Thotakura, Sunanda Boppana and Supriya Karanam also operate a film distribution company specializing in Bollywood productions, which brings Indian productions to cinemas across Switzerland. "We then came across the opportunity to rent the Studio Central," says Yashonda Thotakura. However, as far as the culinary offer or the furnishings are concerned, the Studio Central differs from a conventional cinema: not least because the cinema is a listed building. Again, there are popcorn and coke at the bar. Indian cinema for all   The films and the cinema should be made available...

A dentist by trade in Melbourne, Surapaneni Theja 's parents moved from Vijayawada, India in the early '90s is 'surprised' by the huge fan base that has formed after he recently appeared on ABC's Hard Quiz, but we've checked him out and are not shocked at all.

Of all the books Charles Dickens wrote, none has been more often adapted for the screen than “A Christmas Carol,” drawing under its spell stars as diverse as Albert Finney, Bill Murray, Jim Carrey, Mickey Mouse and the Muppets. Rather than retelling the classic once again, fresh take “The Man Who Invented Christmas” focuses on Dickens himself, revealing the equivalently satisfying story of how the English author conceived his beloved yuletide novella — while offering a chance for a splendidly cast Christopher Plummer to play Ebenezer Scrooge in the process. Satisfying as it is to see a late-career Plummer tackle the iconic role, the subject of this particular film remains Scrooge’s creator, who may have had more in common with the old miser than audiences realize. The year was 1843, by which time Dickens (played here by “Downton Abbey” star Dan Stevens) had already tasted success, only to lose his publishers’ confidence after a series of “flops” (although the colorful term woul...

Los Angeles-based Indian American actor-director Anisha Adusumilli ’s debut short, “First Date,” is among six short films from across the globe screened at the 22nd annual South Asian Film Festival held in Florida Oct. 1 to Oct. 3. The premise of this hilarious short, which will see its Southeast premiere at the prestigious film fest is: Deepak meets his future bride, Rashmi, for the first time. She’s not exactly what he expected but everything he’s ever wanted. “First Date” is a passion project stemming from pressure from Adusumilli’s mom to find a man and get married, and a direct result of her putting Adusumilli on an Indian dating site without her knowledge, she said in a statement. The comedic short is a fantasy (literally and figuratively) she had as she wondered what it would be like to be arranged in marriage as a first-generation South Asian in this app-driven, millennial dating world. An artist from a young age, Adusumilli began studying classical piano at the age ...

'Spooks: The Greater Good'  (102 mins) :   Director  Bharat Nalluri , UK,  Spooks the movie? It's going to be DYNAMITE. Big budget, big stars, the film version of the TV hit is about to explode into cinemas... From James Bond to George Smiley, back-stabbing British spies have opened a rich commercial seam for film-makers as they photogenically ply their end-of-Empire tradecraft in the shadows. Fox’s very modern TV show 24 sprung from this vein, and was enthusiastically co-opted and beamed back to the UK by the BBC in Spooks, a BAFTA-winning TV show which ran for 10 series (from 2002 to 2011). Set in a goldfish bowl office in Thames House called “The Grid” where paranoid agents double-crossed each other with reckless abandon on a weekly basis, Spooks took an average 6m viewers in the UK and was syndicated to more than 25 countries (although it never quite stuck in the US). Irresistible figures for a big-screen outing, it seems, and the TV series original dir...

Anne Aneesha Chowdary , who was the only Telugu girl to make it to the top five finalists at the recent ‘I Am She’ beauty paegent, recounts the experience and how she missed the crown by a whisker. There’s a reason why filmmakers in the Telugu film industry hardly cast Telugu speaking actresses in their films and instead look for aspiring actresses or models from Mumbai. Acting in films and modeling is still considered a taboo in most Telugu households. No wonder, it was a pleasant surprise when people realised that one of the finalists in the ‘I Am She’ beauty pageant, which was recently held in Hyderabad, was a Telugu girl from Hyderabad. Aneesha Chowdary impressed a lot of people at the contest and she was within touching distance from ending up in the top three contestants, who’ll represent India, at Miss Universe, Miss Globe International and Miss Asia Pacific World beauty pageants later this year. Born and brought up in Hyderabad, she completed her schooling from Bharatiya...
