“When you have both genders represented, then you have a healthier point of view. You don’t feel a hierarchy; you don’t have anyone feeling like they are being left out or bullied or humiliated. Sometimes, being the only girl on a set, you can feel like a sexual object,” she said.

The Cirque du Soleil song in question is “Steel Dream”, which was composed by Benoit Jutras for their ninth stage production called “Quidam”. The track also appeared on an album that came out in 1997.

The group is seeking USD 800,000 in copyright infringement damages from Timberlake as well as Timbaland, J-Roc and James Fauntleroy who all collaborated with him on “Don’t Hold the Wall”.

Sonam Kapoor starrer ‘Neerja’, which still continues to run in theatres, has earned a total of Rs. 75.34 cr., till date. The film, released on February 19, had its victory march and had crossed the Rs. 50 crore mark in just 10 days of its release. The film is dominating the box office despite new film releases. The film opened to great reviews from critics and fans alike.

On day 1, Neerja earned a mere Rs 4.70 crore but it saw a jump on Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday it collected Rs 7.60 cr while Sunday’s numbers were the highest of the weekend.

Neerja, which released over 671 screens in India, has shown good occupancy in theatres across the country backed up by strong content and good word of mouth.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the current numbers, saying, “Phenomenal love pouring in for the film.”

The film’s business witnessed growth towards evening/night shows and the numbers multiplied rapidly especially at the metros.

Neerja also delivered a fantastic opening weekend of $ 1.56 million in the international markets (Rs 10.7 cr.)

Neerja marks to be the highest opening weekend for a female centric – 15 rated film in the international markets. (The censor rating of 15 restricts the family audiences in North America, UK, Middle East and Australia)

Indian Express film critic, Shubhra Gupta wrote: The question was always going to be, can Kapoor, who has always played itty-bitty ditsy roles before (with patchy​ results in a string of others), carry off that demanding role? Short answer : yes.

In “Neerja”, Sonam played a real life character — a flight attendant who displays bravado on a hijacked plane to save the lives of passengers by risking her own.

Sonam admits that the portrayal of women in films has become stronger over the years, but she still feels that in terms of remuneration, discrimination against actresses exists.

It has been a while Taapsee is working in films and is really fond of reaching sets before time to absorb the nature of the same and coincidentally bonded with Amitabh sir on the same lines, source close to the film said that both the co-actors were early to sets everyday rehearsing and adapting the environment.

Taapsee said, “I always feel coming early on sets and having enough time in your hand to not only get ready but to feel at ease in the new location is important for me as an actor. Once I am ready I don’t even wait in my van for someone to call me, I myself step down to the set and sit there to absorb the surroundings. And it’s amazing to see that Bachchan sir reaches the location before time and doesn’t mind sitting there and waiting for his shot to be called.”

Sonam Kapoor along with her father and veteran actor Anil Kapoor will be launching ‘Mere Papa’ song by Gulshan Kumar’s daughters Tulsi and Khushali Kumar. The song was sung live by Tulsi Kumar earlier at the show ‘Suron Ke Rang’ held in 2015.

To pay tribute to his father late Gulshan Kumar, son Bhushan Kumar had organised ‘Suron Ke Rang’ where many film celebrities had come together. It was at that event where Tulsi performed the song which left everyone teary-eyed. It was then that Bhushan decided to make it into a song which would feature both his sisters Tulsi and Khushali.

‘Mere Papa’ has been sung by Tulsi Kumar herself with lyrics written by the extremely talented Manoj Muntashir.

Tulsi said, “I was my papa’s favourite and most pampered child. When I went to the studio to record the song I got extremely emotional and just couldn’t hold myself. But I guess it was my father and his blessings that gave me the strength to record this song so beautifully. Ever since the song was performed at the show, I received a lot of fan mail where everyone showered their love for this song as it struck an emotional chord with all listeners.”

“The biggest compliment came from singer Sonu Nigam (who I really look upto) that this is by far the best rendered song by me and it made him super emotional. My father wanted to see me become a singer and today where I am is because of him. ‘Mere Papa’ is my tribute to him,” she added.

Khushali also said that she couldn’t hold her emotions back while Tusli was rehearsing for the song. She said, “Our father dedicated his life to music and always taught us the language of music. He always used to say that music is such a strong medium to express your feelings which you generally cannot do with even words. Main chaand kahoon.. mujhe chaand mile.. kaise kaise jaadu kare .. Mere Papa.”

The song will be launched by Anil Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor in Mumbai today.

Kung Fu Panda 3 review: Three and half stars

What the world wished someone would tell them has now been said. At being told he need not count his dumplings, Po chortles, his eyes a wondrous round, “I always knew I wasn’t eating up to my full potential!”

So now you know. The film series that has made such light work of weighty matters packs in yet more and lands neatly on its feet, both grown-up and child-like.

Master Shifu (Hoffman) is looking for some “alone time” for further spiritual development, and tells Po (Black) to take up his teaching duties. Nervous Po messes up the first teaching session with the Furious Five. However, before Po has the time to fret, a person who looks surprisingly like him, Li (Cranston) lands up in the Valley and beats his dumpling-eating record. It takes a few seconds and some incongruous words before Li and Po, apparently the only two pandas left in the world, realise they may be father and son. Ping (Hong), a goose who has raised Po as his own son, looks on in unconcealed but not ill-intentioned jealousy.

Meanwhile, an old enemy of Master Ooogway, Kai (Simmons), has come back from the spirit world to take over the Jade Palace. Kai has been capturing the ‘chi’ — the spiritual energy that exists in all living beings — of all the kung fu masters in China, and becoming more powerful. Pandas have the power to invoke chi too, and when Li offers to teach Po that in the secret village of the Pandas, Shifu urges him to accompany his father there.

In this secret village, Po learns to live the easy life, including the art of snoring, sighing, munching a twig while leaning on the balcony to look at a setting sun, and to just go rolling down a mountain instead of walking. And, of course, to relearn the joy of just eating, without watching.

When danger comes eventually, it is these tricks that come handy. One of the overriding themes of Kung Fu Panda 3 is the refrain, first by Shifu and then by Po — “I am not teaching you to be me; I am teaching you to be you.”

However, the DreamWorks animation says it more effortlessly in action, drawing out each of its village-ful of characters with warmth and detail. Even Mei Mei (Hudson), the coquettish ribbon dancer who renders jelly-like even her pendulous panda audience.

The 3D stands out, as the story travels from the Valley to the panda village up a snowy mountain, and then literally takes a dip into a golden, fluid spirit world.

While the film is a bit rushed in the beginning, particularly in its introduction of Kai and his intentions, Black hauls it back into place everytime he is on screen. And that is irrespective of whether he is the son out to impress his new-found father, the nervous student under the watch of a critical master, a reluctant leader called upon to play the hero, or even a vainglorious youth enjoying a victory.

A close second are the two dads of Po, played by Cranston and Hong to an almost perfect tango. When Ping tells Li, “I realised that sharing Po with you didn’t mean less for me but more for him”, that’s a movie line for eternity.

That brings us to the other heroes of this film, Kung Fu Panda’s dependable writers Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, who once more make space for everybody, the big guys and the small beings, in a film that makes size so relevantly irrelevant.

After all, when again would you be called to eat up to your full potential?
