Judgement

After the Bombay High Court verdict allowing entry of women up to the restricted grave area of the Haji Ali Dargah, writer Salim Khan welcomed it by saying that the judgement endorses what Hadees and Quran say.

75-year old actor-filmmaker Manoj Kumar, who recently celebrated his 75th birthday, has been approached by French-Afghan writer Atiq for a contemporary take on the 1961 film Kabuliwala, the big screen adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore’s acclaimed short story by the same name. “Mr Rahimi wants me to act in the movie which will have the same script but will be set in the Afghanistan of today,” the veteran observes.
