Responding to petitions filed against films like Dabangg 2 and Race 2 for alleged vulgar content, the Delhi High Court slammed the Censor Board of Film Certification (Cbfc) for being too generous in clearing films. A bench comprising Justice V.K.Jain said that recently the Cbfc has been very lenient in passing or giving certificate to almost every film without any objections. However while hearing the Pil of lawyer Sanjay Kumar seeking a ban of 'Fevicol Se' item song from Dabangg 2, the bench ordered him to delete names of Kareena Kapoor, Arbaaz Khan, Sajid-Wajid from an array of parties and file a fresh memo of parties. The bench also refused to stay the release of DVD's of Dabangg 2 and Race 2 and their further screening on TV channels. The bench added that the content of films should not be degraded and should be such that the whole family can comfortably watch together.

Every year, the Director’s Guild of America does incredibly well in acting as an indicator for the Best Director Academy Award. Their nominations usually match up to what the Academy chooses and more often than not, so does their winner. This year, the Guild is honouring Ben Affleck, Kathryn Bigelow, Tom Hooper, Ang Lee and Steven Spielberg with nominations.
While those are all excellent choices, there are some very obvious omissions. David O. Russell anyone? What about Quentin Tarantino? Django Unchained and Silver Linings Playbook are two of the year’s best films and if I was voting, I would put Russell and Tarantino in over Hooper and Lee. But that’s just my opinion. I would also say that Paul Thomas Anderson deserves to be up there more than Ben Affleck does.
You can check out the full list below but as we wait to hear who the Guild will choose,...

Ata Pata Laapata is an exciting musical satire on the corrupt bureaucratic systems which have deep roots not only in the governing stratum but also reflects in our society.
It marks the Directorial debut of one of the finest actors of Hindi Cinema Rajpal Yadav, also embarking a new style of experimental cinema on the lines of Broadway.
Ata Pata Laapata (Apl) uses intelligent metaphors and musical odes, to expose the undercurrent of corruption in a common man’s life and brings forth the power struggle between the chair holders and contenders staking the welfare of the people and development of the nation. The story is woven around a common man resident of Izzat Nagar Manav Chaturvadi (Rajpal Yadav) whose house goes missing and he files an Fir and what follows is a chaotic roller coaster ride of confusion, political melodrama and much more.

Government worker whose family is too poor to afford a television celebrates with film stars
A poor government clerk from a remote and poverty-stricken region of northern India was partying with film stars on Thursday night after becoming the first person to win 50 million rupees, worth over $1m or £634,000, on an Indian gameshow.
In an astonishing real life version of the plot of the 2008 Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, whose impoverished hero from a tough neighbourhood of the Indian commercial capital Mumbai wins the biggest prize on a TV quiz show, 27-year-old Sushil Kumar answered a final question correctly to take the jackpot of the massively popular local edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
"We can't believe it. The whole village have come to our house. We are worried that my dad will die of happiness," Sunil Kumar Patel, the winner's brother, told the Guardian. "We can't speak to Sushil.
