Nevada, (ANI): Hindus have asked the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to introduce a new award category of "Best Bollywood Film" for films made in India. Rajan Zed, a leader of the Indian American community here, said in a statement that India had the largest film industry in the world and thus it deserved at least one category in Oscars where its movies could compete among themselves. This gesture would bring more credibility to Oscars also in the international arena, as it was long overdue.

He further said that cinema in India, based in Mumbai and various regional centers, reportedly produced much more films and drew much larger audience globally than Hollywood (which released only 610 movies in 2008). It was, therefore, unfair for such an influential cinema not to have its own category at Oscars. Foreign Language Film Award at Oscars, where only one picture was accepted from each country, did not do justice to such a large industry, Zed added. Academy, launched in 1927 and dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of motion pictures, has over 6,000 artists and professionals as honorary members, including actors like Jack Nicholson, directors like Steven Spielberg, executives like Steve Jobs, musicians like Elton John and writers like Ruth Prawer Jhabvala etc. Located in Beverly Hills, (California), the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will host the 82nd Academy Awards on March 7, 2010.

Perhaps the wonderfully talented Shah Rukh Khan, beloved of millions, should limit his superb skills to doing what he does best: making great movies and enhancing the silver screen. His lectures on geo-politics, America's role in the world, security procedures and international diplomacy are a little bit hilarious. So you endured a bit of questioning at Newark because your baggage hadn't arrived on time, Shah Rukh? So what? As Meghnad Desai said on Face The Nation , what's the big deal? Be like APJ Abdul Kalam and just get on with it.

Hundreds of Muslims and Sikhs were rounded up and questioned post-9/11. All forms of abuse of human rights were recorded. Where were the high grandees of the UPA then? In India, the shocking truth is that Muslims find it difficult to get housing. Our security personnel routinely discriminate against anyone in a beard or lungi . Muslims face the most horrendous injustices in their daily life, and yet we are getting all holier-than-thou about racial and religious profiling in America? Racial profiling is an infringement of personal liberty, of course. But let's not pretend it does not exist right here in India under a different name. We Indians simply do not understand why important people should submit to rules and regulations. If you are "important" or a "celebrity" we expect to subvert queues and rules. In addition to Independence Day and Republic Day, we should have a Let's Stand in Queue Day. A day when every Indian - rich, poor, big, small, celebrity, common man - stands patiently in queue, awaits his turn and submits, if necessary to security procedures. Let's be honest and open about the need for checks in our society, not whip up self-righteous rage about protocol on the one hand, and propagate a secretive bigotry on the other.

New Delhi (IANS): Has patriotism been diluted in the films being made nowadays? Bollywood filmmakers admit high-voltage patriotic movies like "Purab Aur Paschim" are no longer being made, but insist they haven't stopped visiting the theme even though the numbers have come down.

"I don't think filmmakers are not interested...at least after what 'Rang De Basanti' did. It created a kind of revolution in portraying anger and love, and proved that young India could love a patriotic film," Madhur Bhandarkar said. "Taking patriotic values and making a film out of them is quite tricky. The scenario has changed a bit because making a patriotic film not only involves lot of hard work but it needs to be poignant so that it can connect with the audience... that's why 'Rang de Basanti' worked and the three films on Bhagat Singh weren't appreciated," he explained.

The film fraternity is extremely displeased with the US immigration authorities for treating him not as a celebrity but a terrorist. Actress Priyanka Chopra wrote in a Twitter post, "It's shocking, disturbing and downright disgraceful. Such behavior fuels hatred and racism." She further expressed surprise over the incident saying that Shah Rukh Khan is a "world figure." Shah Rukh's close friend and director Farah Khan was also dismayed at the treatment meted out to the superstar.

B-Town has recently seen a flood of firangis making their way into films. Nothing seems to be stopping them then be it the language, the culture difference or the climatic conditions. In-fact, firag face gives a film an edge over others films, considering the fact- Indians even today are crazy for firangi-divas. Someone who recently joined this bandwagon is Brazilian girl Giselle Monteiro who was kept under wraps by filmmaker Imtiaz Ali before the release of Love Aaj Kal. Giselle Monteiro started her modeling career at the age of seventeen. This pretty girl is just one film old with Love Aaj Kal, where she donned the character of old-fashioned Harleen Kaur with such perfection that she would give a run-for-money to any bolly-actresses today in Bollywood.

This can be taken as a clear indication from Katrina to Salman that in the matter of her professional life, she likes to take the verdicts of her own and in that case she doesn't think much about anyone else whether it's Salman's so called enmity the King Khan Shahrukh Khan. If everything goes in accordance with the plan, this big- budget Yashraj movie is likely to go on the floors in the early days of the next year.

Reports claim that Karan Johar has cancelled the Pune shooting schedule of his upcoming film Kurbaan as he doesn't want to take any chances. The 180-member strong crew along with Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, who are the lead couple of the film, were to shoot in Pune for two days, but the schedule has been postponed as of now. Meanwhile Hrithik Roshan asked his Kites co-star, Mexican actress Barbara Mori to fly from Mexico to India, since her home country is where the swine flu situation is much worse than it is here in India.

New Delhi (IANS): Teenage pregnancy, terrorism, an out-and-out actioner or a spooky jungle thriller-Bollywood newcomers like Shruthi Haasan, Ruslaan Mumtaaz and Arunoday Singh are opting for different themes and strong scripts rather than being lured by big banners and typical potboilers.

"I've never understood what is or is not commercial. I chose 'Luck' because I loved the concept. I'm glad I was a part of it. I chose a script that excited me and I will continue to do so-whatever the genre may be," 23-year-old Shruthi told IANS. Similar is the case with Arunoday Singh, grandson of Congress veteran Arjun Singh. Arunoday is making his entry into Bollywood with Piyush Jha's "Sikandar" and he plays a militant. Set in Kashmir, the film is slated to hit screens Aug 21.
