Bollywood movie ‘Crew' premieres at Star Cineplex
The latest Bollywood movie "Crew" was released at Star Cineplex on Monday for the Bangladeshi audience, marking the first Hindi film that Star Cineplex has imported through the SAFTA agreement.
Since its release in India on March 29, the film has been garnering good responses in the country’s cinema halls. Discussions have been going on for quite some time about the movie 'Crew' featuring three heroines from three generations of Bollywood, and audiences have been eagerly waiting for the film’s Bangladesh release.
Regarding the release, Star Cineplex's senior marketing officer, Mesbahuddin Ahmed, said, “The movie 'Crew' is being released in Bangladesh through a SAFTA agreement. For the first time, we are importing and releasing Hindi movies.”
“We noticed that our audiences expressed their interest in watching 'Crew' alongside its Indian release, and many anticipating moviegoers have already contacted us to know its schedule. As per rules, Hindi movies cannot be showcased during the upcoming Eid festival, so the shows of the films will be off during Eid,” he said.
The movie narrates the difficult lives of air hostesses or flight attendants in the airline business. However, the movie 'Crew' is being the talk of the town for its ensemble cast featuring three heroines from three generations of Bollywood: Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon.
Produced by Rhea Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Ekta Kapoor, ‘Crew’ is directed by Rajesh Krishnan and highlights the current plight of the airline industry. Tabu and Kareena have worked together for the first time in this comedy-genre movie.
Beyoncé's ‘Act ll: Cowboy Carter’ defies categorisation, redefines American style
“Nothin’ really ends / For things to stay the same they have to change again,” Beyoncé sings on “Act ll: Cowboy Carter,” the opening lines of the opening track, “Ameriican Requiem.”
“Them big ideas, yeah, are buried here / Amen.”
In some ways, it is a mission statement for the epic 78-minute, 27-track release — or at the very least, functions like a film’s title card to introduce yet another blockbuster album.
In the days leading up to “Cowboy Carter,” the superstar said this “ain’t a Country album” but “a ‘Beyoncé’ album” — positioning herself in opposition to country music’s rigid power structures and emphasizing her ability to work with the style with her latest genre-defying opus.
A capital-C country album it is not — and of course it isn’t. Beyoncé is an eclecticist, known for her elastic vocal performances: in a moment, choosing to belt close to godliness and, in another, moving with marked ease into a fractured run, inheriting histories through the vowels she stresses, the handclaps she introduces and the genres she utilizes. (That’s evident in the instruments as well, which range from washboard, pedal steel, banjo, mandolin, Vibraslap, bass ukulele and mandolin, to name a few.)
If the album, five years in the making, was inspired by the racist backlash she faced after performing at the 2016 CMAs with The Chicks, as many fans have theorized, she’s eclipsed it and then some. Tell Beyoncé she isn’t welcomed in your space; she’ll carve out a bigger one.
“Ameriican Requiem” bleeds into a reimagination of a Beatles ’ classic, “Blackbiird.” It was originally written by Paul McCartney about desegregation in American schools with particular emphasis on the Little Rock Nine, the first group of Black students to desegregate an Arkansas high school in 1957. In Beyoncé’s rendition, harmonies are stacked. She’s joined by Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts and Tiera Kennedy — some of the most exciting voices in contemporary country — who are also Black women.
They aren’t the only next generation highlighted on “Cowboy Carter”: Willie Jones’ rich Louisiana tone turns “Just for Fun,” into trail-riding gospel country. Shaboozey’s country-rap marks a pivot in the album’s trajectory on “Spaghettii,” setting the listener up for the singular listening experience of the Patsy Cline-channeling “Sweet Honey Buckiin’,” with its Jersey club beats.
Country veterans, too, appear: Willie Nelson is a rough-around-the-edges radio DJ on the fictional station KNTRY — the resulting effect is an alternative America where terrestrial country radio does not overwhelmingly prefer playing white performers; snippets of Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s “Down by the River Side,” Chuck Berry’s “Maybellene” and Roy Hamilton’s 1957 “Don’t Let Go” bled into Nelson’s smoky voice.
The ’50s cuts are an inspired choice; Beyoncé has chosen to reference the decade in which format-based radio emerged and, as a result, country music’s racial lines were all but codified. The effects are still felt. One frequently referenced study, conducted by University of Ottawa professor Jada Watson, examined over 11,000 songs played on country radio from 2002 to 2020 and found that artists of color made up only 3% of all airplay, two-thirds of which were men. In even her interludes, Beyoncé has taken her listeners to school.
“Jolene” is a reimagined take on the 1973 Dolly Parton original; it’s preceded by “Dolly P,” a spoken-word interlude from Parton. “Remember that hussy with the good hair you sang about?” she says, referencing “Becky with the good hair” from “Sorry” off 2016’s “Lemonade.” “Reminded me of someone I knew back when, except she has flaming locks of auburn hair. Bless her heart! Just a hair of a different color, but it hurts just the same.”
Beyoncé’s version, of course, is very Beyoncé — there’s no shrinking and begging for this woman to step off; it’s a warning.
Perhaps Beyoncé’s clearest predecessor on this album is Linda Martell, the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry. Martell’s 1970 landmark record “Color Me Country” should be considered country canon; she offered Black women rare visibility in a genre stereotypically associated with whiteness.
She also appears twice on “Cowboy Carter,” first providing clarity on the complicated origins of country in “Spaghettii.”
“Genres are a funny little concept, aren’t they?” she says, laughing. “In theory, they have a simple definition that’s easy to understand. But in practice, well, some may feel confined.”
Shared histories and families are abundant on Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter”: “Protector” begins with Beyoncé’s daughter Rumi Carter asking for “the lullaby, please,” leading into a tear-jerker of an acoustic ballad centering motherhood.
If listeners position “Act ll: Cowboy Carter” next to “Act l: Renaissance,” they might view the record as a continued dialogue in the Beyoncé mythos: “Lemonade” established Beyoncé’s dedication to Black empowerment. “Renaissance” reclaimed House music for its Black progenitors in a sprawling release that placed techno, Chicago and Detroit house, New Orleans bounce, Afrobeats, queer dance culture and beyond on the same dance floor — and highlighted the frequent invisibility of Black performance in music history books. “Cowboy Carter” does something similar with country music — and, in true Beyoncé fashion, extends well beyond it, as vessel, captain and crew on this journey.
“Bodyguard” borders on soft rock; “Ya Ya” interpolates Nancy Sinatra’s “These Boots Were Made for Walkin’” and The Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations”; “Riiverdance” and “II Hands II Heaven” bring back the electronica of “Renaissance.” “ll Most Wanted” features the raspy-rich Miley Cyrus, and interpolates Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide.” “Levii’s Jeans” modernizes the timeless combination of R&B and country ballads, amplified by a surprising collaborator in a crooning Post Malone — lest we forget he also hails from Texas.
“Oh Louisiana” is helium-injected blues and funk; the classic guitars on “Daughter” lead into Beyoncé singing the famous Italian aria “Caro Mio Ben” in the original language. If you’ve been waiting for her opera moment, here it is.
When she’s back to English in the refrain, she declares, “If you cross me, I’m just like my father / I am colder than Titanic water,” reminiscent of outlaw country’s murder ballads and a successor to Bey’s first ever country song, “Daddy Lessons” from “Lemonade.”
Effortlessly — and momentously — “Cowboy Carter” weaves canonized classics into the same breath as Beyoncé's country music evolutions and Black music history preservations. If the Beatles and the Beach Boys are unimpeachable, so is Martell, so is Beyoncé, and Adell, and so on.
The magic here, of course, is Beyoncé’s mastery of art and message. And at the center of everything is her larger-than-life performance — serious and jubilant, like when she plays her nails as percussion, an ode to Parton doing the same on “9 to 5.” (That’s on “Riiverdance,” a club song that also references country’s Celtic folk origins.)
On “Cowboy Carter,” historical course-correcting and evolution go down with honey. Lessons are learned on the dance floor, on the radio, at the imagined honky-tonk, in headphones.
It’s a massive album that will require close examination for full enjoyment — but Beyoncé fans have long learned to be great students.

Iconic ‘Titanic’ door prop that saved Rose fetches over $700K at auction
In a momentous sale that has captivated movie buffs and collectors alike, the infamous piece of wooden debris that kept “Titanic” movie’s Rose afloat — and arguably led to Jack's demise — has sold for a staggering $718,750 at auction, reports the BBC.
This piece of film history has been the center of a long-standing debate since the movie's release in 1997: could it have supported both Rose and Jack, potentially saving them both from the icy grip of the Atlantic?
Rare video of 1986 dive in Titanic wreckage to be released
The prop, which has ignited discussions among fans for over two decades, was a highlight at an auction featuring items and costumes from Planet Hollywood's extensive collection. The scene in question features Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, insisting the makeshift raft was only big enough for Rose, played by Kate Winslet, leading to his tragic end in the cold ocean waters.
The debate over the scene reached such heights that even "Titanic" director James Cameron addressed it in a 2012 "Mythbusters" episode. Amidst criticism of Rose's perceived selfishness and Jack's decision-making, Cameron asserted that the script necessitated Jack's death, humorously noting that perhaps the prop should have been made smaller to avoid doubt. "The dude's going down," Cameron stated, putting a script-driven end to the speculation.

Heritage Auctions, which handled the sale, revealed the item, often mistaken for an actual door, was based on a piece of the ill-fated 1912 voyage's debris.

Rafiqul Alam’s new Liberation War song released in Ayub Bachchu’s composition
Eminent singer and freedom fighter Rafiqul Alam’s new Liberation War song has been released on Independence Day this year, written and composed by the late rock legend Ayub Bachchu for the distinguished artist back in 2005.
Rafiqul Alam, who calls Ayub Bachchu “the Van Halen of Bangladesh,” reflected on the time Ayub Bachchu gave him the song “Shadhinota.”
“The posthumous song of Ayub Bachchu is titled 'Shadhinota' which speaks of glorifying 'Shadhinota' (independence) itself. It talks about what 'Shadhinota' is to the people of Bangladesh, how passionate we as a nation are about our Liberation War, and that it was in exchange for blood that we got our independence,” said Rafiqul.
“Back in 2005, when we were working on another project, we discussed collaborating on a song on several occasions, but it didn’t happen for many reasons. At last, he gave me this song, and it was a very sensible choice to give me a song that speaks about our history,” said the veteran singer describing the background journey of the track.
Rafiqul Alam is a renowned playback singer and vocalist, trained by Pundit Haripada Das. In his journey, he has been groomed by several legendary music directors, among whom he calls Satiya Saha his musical father.
Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra was a milestone in his path, where he performed many of the classic songs both in group and solo during the Liberation War of 1971. “Moder Gorob Moder Asha” was one of these songs.
The music arrangement of “Shadhinota” is performed by Rafiqul's son, Farshid Alam, a singer-songwriter, composer, and bassist. His debut in music arrangement for his father happened through this song.
“The Western and Eastern ratio in the composition of Ayub Bachchu songs has always been 50/50, but, in this case, I think he chose a 40/60 approach (40 being Western and 60 being Eastern) since my father was the singer,” Farshid said. “For me, it was not an easy job to maintain that harmony in my arrangement. I hope I did justice to the song, and I wish Ayub Bachchu could have listened to my arrangement of his composition.”
The song is available on Rafiqul Alam’s YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEMFmXASNsk.

Kate, Princess of Wales, says she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy
Kate, the Princess of Wales, said Friday she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy.
Her condition was disclosed in a video message recorded on Wednesday and broadcast Friday, coming after weeks of speculation on social media about her whereabouts and health since she was hospitalized in January for unspecified abdominal surgery.
Kate asked for “time, space and privacy” while she is treated for an unspecified type of cancer, which was discovered after her surgery.
“I am well,” she said. “I am getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal.”
Kate, 42, hadn’t been seen publicly since Christmas until video surfaced this week of her with her husband, Prince William, heir to the throne, walking from a farm shop near their Windsor home.
Kensington Palace had given little detail about Kate’s condition beyond saying it wasn’t cancer-related, the surgery was successful and recuperation would keep the princess away from public duties until April. Kate said it had been thought that her condition was non-cancerous until tests revealed the diagnosis.
“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” she said.
The news is another stunning development for the royal family since the announcement last month that King Charles III was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was caught while undergoing a procedure for a benign enlarged prostate. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement that Kate “has shown tremendous bravery.” He added: “In recent weeks she has been subjected to intense scrutiny and has been unfairly treated by certain sections of the media around the world and on social media.”
Charles, 75, has withdrawn from public duties while he has cancer treatment, though he’s appeared frequently in photos carrying on meetings with government officials and dignitaries and was even seen going to church.
Kate, on the other hand, had been out of view, leading to weeks of speculation and gossip. Attempts to put rumors to bed by releasing a photo of her on Mother’s Day in the U.K. surrounded by her three smiling children backfired when The Associated Press and other news agencies retracted the image because it had been manipulated.
Kate issued a statement the next day acknowledging she liked to “experiment with editing” and apologizing for “any confusion” the photo had caused. But that did little to quell the speculation.
Even the footage published by The Sun and TMZ that appeared to show Kate and William shopping sparked a new flurry of rumor-mongering, with some armchair sleuths refusing to believe the video showed Kate at all.
Earlier this week, a British privacy watchdog said it was investigating a report that staff at the private London hospital where she was treated tried to snoop on her medical records while she was a patient for abdominal surgery.
The former Kate Middleton, who married William in a fairy-tale wedding in 2011, has boosted the popularity and appeal of the British monarchy worldwide more than any royal since Princess Diana.
The princess is the oldest of three children brought up in a well-to-do neighborhood in Berkshire, west of London. The Middletons have no aristocratic background, and the British press often referred to Kate as a “commoner” marrying into royalty.
Kate attended the private girls’ school Marlborough College and then University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she met William around 2001. Friends and housemates at first, their relationship came to be in the public eye when they were pictured together on a skiing holiday in Switzerland in 2004.
Kate graduated in 2005 with a degree in art history and a budding relationship with the prince.
‘Quran is crystal clear’: Will Smith
Hollywood icon Will Smith recently shared his profound appreciation for the Quran, describing the Muslim holy book as “crystal clear” and lauding its simplicity.
In a conversation reported by Al Arabiya, Smith recounted his experience of reading the Quran last Ramadan. “I loved the simplicity; the Quran is so clear; it is crystal clear. It is hard to walk away with misunderstanding,” Smith remarked.
He was moved by the spirit of the Quran, which he found to be “so beautiful and clear.”

Delving deeper into his spiritual journey, Smith revealed that he has explored the holy texts of Judaism and Christianity as well. He expressed amazement at the deep connections between the Quran, Torah, and Bible.
“I was surprised how it is like one story, from the Torah through the Bible and into the Quran. I never totally understood Abraham as the father and then the split with Isaac and Ishmail and it was beautiful to get the completion of that comprehension,” he shared.
Smith, who is currently visiting Saudi Arabia, also opened up about his affinity for the Middle Eastern country and its culture during a podcast with MBC.
With a touch of humor, Smith, who portrayed the Genie in the live-action movie "Aladdin," quipped: “I think I was a Genie in a past life. I am so at home; I love it here.”

Singer Khalid no more
Popular band singer Khalid passed away on Monday evening. He was 60.
He breathed his last around 7:15pm at a city hospital while undergoing treatment there, lyricist and composer Prince Mahmud confirmed.
Family sources said the body will be taken to Gopalganj after Namaj-e-Janaza at Green Road Jame Mosque on Monday at 11 pm. Later, he will be buried in the family cemetery there.
Khalid is best known for his songs "Shorolotar Protima", "Himaloy", "Kono Karonei", among dozens of other hits during the 90's and 2000's.
Born in Gopalganj, the singer started his journey in the world of music in 1981.
