On Sunday, a paparazzi account posted a video of this opulent SUV on social media, along with the news that Khushi Kapoor had bought it. Speaking of the opulent car the actress bought, rumors have it that it comes in two versions and is anticipated to be one of the best-selling Mercedes G-Class cars.

This came at a time in the 1970s when new-wave directors defied social norms to exhibit pictures that celebrated sexual liberation. The main driver of it all was this one low-budget movie that turned one person into a star while destroying another.

Ace cinematographer Sudarshan Nag, who started his career with B R Ishara’s Chetna, was recently felicitated by the Western India Cinematographers’ Association (WICA). He was presented an award for his outstanding contribution to the Indian film industry.

In another set back to the film industry, the news of the passing away of writer-director BR Ishara has brought everyone and everything to a standstill. He was recently diagnosed with Tuberculosis and was undergoing treatment at Criticare hospital in Juhu. Ishara, known to be the first director to have started the tradition of shooting in bungalows, shot into prominence with his first film <em>Chetna</em> that starred Rehana Sultan – whom he later married – and Anil Dhawan. The film was completed in just twenty five days.
