It is a known fact that Bollywood is a reflection of the society. Time and again it has showcased the dark realities of our society. In the first few year of Indian cinema, it was widely used to spread across social messages and awaken people to fight for the nation. It was also successful in educating people and helping to eliminate many social evils.

These digits resemble the toll free contact numbers, right? But hey, what’s “Love” doing in there?
1-800-Love is a full on romantic comedy that will rock Bollywood next year. Surely you remember Abbas Tyrewala, the guy who gave us Imran Khan in his very first directorial venture, Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na! Now Abbas is all set to make his second film and “1-800-Love” is the title of this project.
Old Debate Triggers Again!

Are films really a reflection of the society? Or are they catalysts in bringing the desirable, and more often, the undesirable changes in the society?
The debate might have become aged and lost all its impact on the young debaters of India, but the question now hangs like a naked sword on innocent people’s necks!

"Last night, as the events of the terror attack unfolded in front of me I did something for the first time and one that I hoped never ever to be in a situation to do. Before retiring for the night, I pulled out my licensed .32 revolver, loaded it and put it under my pillow. For a very disturbed sleep," Bachchan blogged on Thursday.
We Are Scared

No matter how media talks about the spirit of Mumbai or anyting else, the fact is that we are all very scared. All of us are worried about our safety and security in our own country. It's not just Bombay that has had to fight terrorism, almost all the major cities have borne the brutn of terror strikes in the recent past.
It is very sad to see the victims and families of the dead. The terrorists did not spare even small children. How can such cold blooded murderers and heartless devils belong to any religion? Neither God, nor Allah, nor Bhagwan encourages bloodshed.
