The Nawab and his showgirl - Yahoo! Movies UK:

"It was not love at first sight for them but it lasted till the cricket legend passed away yesterday. It all started in 1965 when leading Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore met the sauve captain Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi at a common friend’s party.

But it was not easy for Tiger to win his lady love’s heart so he gifted her a refrigerator to win her heart. But finally it was roses that did the trick. ”She batted for four years,” Pataudi declared in several interviews later." Like any Bollywood love story, there were hurdles with both set of parents throwing spanner in it. While Sharmila's parents were not open to the idea of their daughter getting married to a Prince, Pataudi’s parents were not happy with having a sex symbol as their daughter-in-law. Eventually both relented and the duo got married in 1969 and she became Ayesha Sultana after converting to Islam.

Their marriage broke all stereotypes as Sharmila went on to give hits like ‘Chupke Chupke’, ‘Mausam’, ‘Amar Prem’ among others. She once said in an interview, 'I haven't given up anything (after marrying Tiger). He is very liberal in his views. I've gained a lot of experience and gained another culture, cuisine, and way of dressing. I've benefited a lot.' This is one love story which lasted 42 years.

2011-08-13T00:09:00.000-07:00

The Smurfs

The Smurfs (French: Les Schtroumpfs, Dutch: De Smurfen) is a comic and television franchise centred on a group of small blue fictional creatures called Smurfs, created and first introduced as a series of comic strips by the Belgian cartoonist Peyo (pen name of Pierre Culliford) on October 23, 1958.

The original term and the accompanying language came during a meal Peyo was having with his colleague and friend André Franquin at the Belgian Coast. Having momentarily forgotten the word "salt", Peyo asked him (in French) to pass the schtroumpf . Franquin jokingly replied: "Here's the Schtroumpf — when you are done schtroumpfing, schtroumpf it back..." and the two spent the rest of that weekend speaking in "schtroumpf language". The name was later translated into Dutch as Smurf, which was adopted in English.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a 2011 American science fiction film directed by Rupert Wyatt. The film stars James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow and Andy Serkis. It is a reboot of the Planet of the Apes series that will act as a foundation with an origin story for a new film series. Its premise is similar to the fourth film in the original series, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), but it is not a direct remake in that it does not fit into that series' continuity. It was released in the United States, Canada and India on August 5, 2011.

Production
In a segment of a video blog post, director Rupert Wyatt commented on the originality of the plot: "This is part of the mythology and it should be seen as that. It's not a continuation of the other films; it's an original story. It does satisfy the people who enjoy those films. The point of this film is to achieve that and to bring that fan base into this film exactly like Batman Begins."

In an interview in 2009, Wyatt said, "We've incorporated elements from ["Conquest"], in terms of how the apes begin to revolt, but this is primarily a prequel to the 1968 film... Caesar is a revolutionary figure who will be talked about by his fellow apes for centuries... This is just the first step in the evolution of the apes, and there's a lot more stories to tell after this. I imagine the next film will be about the all-out war between the apes and humans".
