 When Preity Zinta got a man thrown out of a movie theatre

 
Mumbai: B-town’s dimpled beauty Preity Zinta, who is know for being head strong, once again proved that she is a “no-nonsense” girl. The actress, who was last seen in ‘Ishq in Paris’, asked a person to leave a movie theatre as he refused to stand for the National Anthem of the country before the movie began. Preity took to Twitter to share her experience. "#bangbang be4 Bang Bang ! Had2 throw a guy out of the Theater as he refused 2stand up4 our National Anthem! Can u believe it?Now movie time. — Preity zinta (@realpreityzinta) October 7, 2014."
 
This is not for the first time that ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ actress has done something that is socially not acceptable. The actress went on to delete the tweet, however our twitterverse couldn't help but react to Preity's moral policing. 
Here's how the twitteratis reacted:

Will Maratha Mandir stop screening DDLJ?

Iconic 90's blockbuster Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (DDLJ) may be ending its record run at Mumbai's Maratha Mandir soon, . The film starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol was written and directed by Yash Raj Studios head Aditya Chopra and has been running in Maratha Mandir since its release in 1995.

For almost two decades, the film has been screened at the theatre as the morning show at 11:30 am, running full house to this day.

Media reports suggest that the theatre's manager Manoj Desai may be looking to stop screening the film.

The film if it continues to run at the theatre would have completed 1000 weeks at the box office on December 12.
There has been no official comment from YRF on this report yet.  

Digital v/s Film – the debate rages on Film-Making Seminar in Mumbai invites experts from both sides

Digital versus film’ has been a topic of debate in the photography world and the film industry from over a decade now, and although photography and film making is now dominated by digital operation, the older photochemical methods continue to serve some traditional users and applications. To, share perspectives and explore this subject further, leading camera rental firm Accord Equips has planned a Digital Film-Making Seminar on Saturday, 18th October 2014.
To be held at Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics (MAAC) in Andheri (west), the Digital Film-Making Seminar has been designed for students and budding film makers to understand the medium better and train for what the future holds.
Accord Equips has put together a panel comprising names that would bring immense value to the seminar. The headliner will be Mr. John Mathew Matthan, ad film maker and director of the Aamir Khan starrer Sarfarosh. Joining him would be Mr Harmeet Singh, veteran cinematographer with over 30 films under his belt and Mr Amole Gole, who is hailed for his DSLR camera work on Hawa Hawaai and Stanley ka Dabba. Mr Neil Sadwelkar, a digital post production expert who runs the popular blog neilsadwelkar.blogspot.in will guide the participants on editing. Lastly, Canon brings in their experts to explain the emerging trend of 4k cameras
The brain behind the Digital Film-Making Seminar, Mr Tejash Shah, Managing Director, Accord Equips says, “When we started as filmmakers, we didn’t have such events to guide us. I believe our seniors’ experiences can guide us for the real world’s challenges,” adding, “This is a non-profit initiative by Accord Equips, the money being charged is only to get a really serious audience. It is just our way of giving back to the industry.”
In the cinema hub of India, it is essential to educate the future film makers of the techniques of the yore and those to come.

Ranbir Kapoor may have spent a couple of days recuperating from his tonsil surgery right after his birthday on September 28, but it seems that his rumoured girlfriend Katrina Kaif also had to make a quick stop at the emergency room.

The actress, who held a surprise birthday bash for Ranbir, apparently took her job as the hostess too seriously and burnt her thumb while lighting the candles on Ranbir's birthday cake.

Minor injuries apart, the rumoured lovebirds will finally start shooting for Jagga Jasoos, Ranbir's first home production with Anurag Basu and have a difficult but fun shooting stint to look forward to. The actors will be busy filming the project in Mumbai, Manipur and Thailand for next the three months.

So, while Katrina may have burnt her hand with the candles, the other flame continues to burn bright.
