#MeToo has unearthed the grim reality of our society

Image
(Image Credit: TheWire.in ) #MeToo is actually termed as a campaign by the media; however it isn’t a campaign but actually a look into the grim reality of our society. Our world is focused around looking at women as a means of pleasure, or stalking, and even abusing. The world has moved ahead from the 70’s and while we may consider ourselves as a modern society, we are still living in those old days where women are considered otherwise. Our world has changed, but the revelations coming out everyday have shocked us. From famous names including politicians like M.J. Akbar to recently accused Anu Malik, the harassment saga continues to open up every day. This movement started after Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of sexual abuse, and has been confined to the B-Town right now, we can be rest assured that if other segments of work and business start raising their voices, we may see a lot of names under the scanner and many legacies broken. Today Barkha Dutt took a di...

His voice is unmatchable, and work is even more amazing. The performer could dance, sing, act, mimick and do a host of other things that can and can’t be described in a blog. His work, especially songs are relevant till date and no matter what age group you come from, the essence of the songs never fades. While some of us may call the songs listed below as sad or depressing, let’s understand that there are many songs that the amazing singer sang, and we are listing just 3 of the many that he did which are a true motivator: 3. Zindagi Ka Safar ‘Zindagi ka safar’ is a song that talks about life’s struggles and how every life has to go through a lot of troubles to sustain the competitive and ruthless world.

We all love movies, and let’s accept the fact that we have grown watching some of the most amazing stories come to life.

Rajat Kapoor – Pankaj Tripathi They are two of the most talented people in the film industry today. While Rajat is in the midst of a sexual harassment case now, we hope that the dust settles on this issue, and after the decision is made, we would like to see the director ...

Image
Guru Dutt was the most decorated actor, director and producer of the film fraternity. His work was appreciated by fans during his days, and is still loved by film lovers worldwide. With an array of subjects on which he made his movies, his work has been a source of inspiration for many existing and up-and-coming filmmakers in the film fraternity. Over the years, we have seen many movies on the subjects he created the cinematic brilliance during yester years, but the ones made now have been lost in time, while his movies are still loved by fans. In this article, I discuss four movies that are still favorite: 4. Sahib, Biwi aur Gulam Does this title sound familiar to an ongoing movie series we see in Cinemas very often?

3 reasons why Tanushree Dutta's claims raise some important questions

Image
Tanushree Dutta worked in B-Town for a short span and took a hiatus from the show-biz, until she talked about the sexual harrasment by Nana Patekar. While this issue is still fresh, another case of Vikas Behl has been in the news and his name hasn't been in this case for the first time. Unlike Vikas, Nana has never been accused for such activities, but if there is any truth to the claims by Tanushree Dutta then it is an alarming condition, and the film fraternity as well as the law must take sui-motto of this situation. While some of us may take stands on this issue, we at The Mis Studio condemn any type of atrocities on women, and here are our reasons why this must be looked into well by the law: 1. B-town gets a bad name There is nothing more wrong than a woman in the film fraternity claiming to be sexually abused, and as much as it demeans the person doing such an act, it also puts the lady in a tough spot. With this case, along with Vikas Behl’s case com...

Acting Varun has worked on his acting and the same can be seen in October. Directed by Shoojit Sircar, the movie is a tale of a girl and her journey.
