On popular Urdu writer Saadat Hasan Manto's birth anniversary today, we take a look at his relationship with Indian cinema. Not only did Manto write films, he also once appeared in film star Ashok Kumar's movie at his behest.

Scene Stealer: In this weekly special, we select one scene from any film, series or show and discuss why it still speaks to us. Today's piece features the heartwarming 'kheer' scene from 2015 release Masaan.

Shahid Kapoor's Aditya was perhaps the most subdued of all characters in the movie despite being the male lead. He was not making grand plans or gestures. Unlike his female counterpart Geet, played by Kareena Kapoor.

The first three months of the year has slipped us by, and 2022 has managed to offer a mixed bag of movies -- they have been polarising, they have served spectacle and they have been heartwarming. Here are some of the Indian releases so far that made news, not always for the right reasons.

Moon Knight episode 2: It is a pleasure to see artistes like Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke together in several frames, but the Marvel series could benefit from pacier episodes.

Witty, sharp and thoroughly entertaining, Ocean's 11 might be the most frivolous fun director Steven Soderbergh has had.

On Ajay Devgn's birthday today, we revisit some of his best performances in films like Omkara, Raincoat and Zakhm among others. Did your favourite movie of the actor make the cut?

Directed by Aneesh Chaganty, Searching is a unique thriller about parent-child relationship, told in a wholly novel fashion. Only 102 minutes long, Searching is taut, tense and always on the target.

Over the years, British star Benedict Cumberbatch has played awkward, charismatic and intelligent personalities with incredible conviction. Be it Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Strange, or the genius computer scientist Alan Turing.

This film came to Abhay Deol at a point when he had only done romantic comedies. But in 2007, with Manorama Six Feet Under, Deol played a version of himself that had never been seen on screen before.

With only seven episodes in its kitty, creator Greg Daniels gives his all to Upload Season 2. A couple of more episodes, however, would have made the narrative richer and more dense, like the first season of the show.

In Jhund, Amitabh Bachchan essays the role of Vijay Barse. The actor has donned the character of Vijay over 20 times on screen.

Upon its release, Danny DeVito directorial Matilda failed to spread magic at the box office, but the fantasy film has accquired something of a cult status over the years.

The making of George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road was fraught with tension. But the sweat, blood and tears at least amounted to something in the end -- 10 Oscar nominations, including one for Best Picture and Best Director.

On Shahid Kapoor's birthday, we take a look at his successful and evolutionary collaboration with director Vishal Bhardwaj, through the lens of Kaminey and Haider.

Despite some of its drawbacks, When a Man Loves a Woman is still a worthy watch, if only to see Meg Ryan and Andy Garcia play off each other wonderfully in the romance drama.

On filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker's birthday, we revisit the quietly rousing Swades, featuring superstar Shah Rukh Khan in top form.

Inside Out was nominated for two Oscars, and crashed the ticket counter upon its release. Safe to say, you can include this one in the slowly building catalogue of modern animation classics.

Ahead of Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday and Dhairya Karwa-starrer Gehraiyaan's release, we revisit these five well-made relationship dramas.
