When it comes to goofy bantering, the two guys Santa and Banta are the tops. A film on their enthusiastic asininity could be just the prescription for an evening of lighthearted entertainment, especially when two actors with impeccable comic timing are playing the lead.
The saddest sight in a comedy is watching two talented comic actors struggling with lines that seem to be written as an ongoing joke on how unfunny jokes can be.
Santa Banta Pvt Ltd takes the two beloved Sikh characters from a million and one SMS jokes in the past 15 years, and squeezes them into a satirical straightjacket so suffocating and turgid it reduces the two comic heroes to a shadow of a caricature.
Don’t get me wrong. This film boasts of a wealth of comic...

Mumbai, Nov 19: What's it about women born Nov 19 - the birth anniversary of former prime minister Indira Gandhi - that makes them clutter-breakers of extraordinary dimensions? Actresses Zeenat Aman, Rehana Sultan and Sushmita Sen are perfect examples - fiercely independent, they redefined the Hindi film heroine and ushered in a new-age post-feminist female protagonist, who could look after herself quite well.
Here's a list of the five roles from the trio that broke the mould, and how!
Zeenat Aman's five ground-breakers:
1. "Hare Rama Hare Krishna": Starting out your career as the heroine's sister? No way! Many leading.

This month seems to be a month of heavenly departures in Bollywood. First, it was the ever green Rajesh Khanna, and now its director-screenplay writer B.R. Ishara, who passed today morning, as he was suffering from tuberculosis and was undergoing treatment at Criti Care Hospital, Mumbai. Readers may recall that he had suffered a major paralytic attack during a Directors' Association meeting last year.
The late Ishara launched Parveen Babi and cricketer Salim Durrani in his film Charitra. Not just that, he is also known to be the man who gave breaks to today's heavyweights like Danny Denzongpa, Reena Roy, Shatrughan Sinha, Raj Kiran, Raza Murad… to name a few. He is survived by his former actress wife Rehana Sultan.
Amitabh Bachchan, who had worked with him in Ek Nazar, tweeted, "The well known writer director Br Ishara passed away early this morning. Brought in fresh style subject for films.
