Bollywood is 'Crazy Sexist', Says Research

A recent research and analysis by researchers into Bollywood films have forced them to conclude that Bollywood movies are "still crazy sexist". The team of researchers analysed as many as 4000 Bollywood movies to reach this verdict. Over the years, women portraying central characters in Hindi cinema have been few and far between. Those portrayed, including the protagonists, are rarely holistic and mostly subject to ingrained biases. “Different features like occupation, introduction of cast in text , associated actions, and descriptions are captured to show the pervasiveness of gender bias and stereotype in movies,” a recent analysis of Bollywood movies by IBM and two Delhi-based institutions revealed. You can reach the whole research analysis HERE. The research paper is the only document of sexual bias in Bollywood till date. To study the gender disparities, researchers used an IBM dataset of Wikipedia pages of 4,000 Hindi movies released between 1970 and 2017, extra...

Good News! Ex-flames Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor to REUNITE!

Maybe it is because of their shared past or because of their exceptional chemistry, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone remain one of the most viable onscreen jodis. Even after their breakup, the two never let their personal issues affect their professional space. While most of the separated couples refrain from taking up projects alongside one another, Deepika and Ranbir gave us two memorable movies including Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Tamasha. And now we hear that director Imtiaz Ali, who last directed them in his film ‘Tamasha’ is keen to bring this hit jodi together, however not for a movie but for a play. While it is being said that Imtiaz has expressed his deep-down desire to both the actors, but it is still not confirmed if Deepika and Ranbir have given their nod of consent. As of now, Imtiaz is busy working on his upcoming flick ‘Raula’, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma. Deepika on the other hand has her dates occupied for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ‘Pad...

Here's why Aamir Khan does NOT want to work with Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma!

Expect Bollywood to churn out shocking stories with every passing day. From cat-fights to finding new love after separation from wife, the industry is filled with all kinds of gossip! Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan is currently busy with the shooting of his next film 'Thugs of Hindostan.'
