 [h=3]Thrissur Pooram: Will security concerns go up in smoke?[/h] "What is Thrissur without pooram?" asked Mar Andrews Thazhathu, Archbishop of Catholic Church in Thrissur district of Kerala as he joined protests against the restrictions imposed on the festival. For people of Thrissur district, the pooram -- a mega spectacle involving a large number of caparisoned elephants, numerous temples and giant colourful fireworks -- is an obsession, that has only swelled over the years. Kicked off more than 200 years ago by Shakthan Thampuran, then ruler of Kochi, the festival sees a flurry of people from across the state flowing into the district over the course of a week.

 [h=3]Tiger Shroff's Statement Has Upset The People Of China?[/h] Tiger Shroff’s recent revelation of the fact on how Kung Fu was originated in India has caused people of China to react in a strong manner! Shortly after Tiger’s statement was learnt by the Chinese people, they have started writing to the makers of Baaghi, director Sabbir Khan on their respective social media platforms raising several questions about the actor’s statement. This particular incident seems to have created an entire debate on the fact, Kung Fu one of the most popular forms of martial arts was, in fact, originated in India! Recorded history also states that Kung Fu, as an art was originated from the teachings of an Indian Buddhist monk, Bodhidharma, who arrived in China from India in the 6th century! The actor also mentioned that he strongly feels that Bodhidharma most definitely brought a form of martial arts with him, most likely Kalaripayattu, and transformed the newly formed Shaolin temple and the Buddhist monks settled there into dedicating themselves to Kung Fu and becoming a warrior elite whose fame spread throughout China and then all over the world.

I wish that the day will come when ONLY movies without song and dance will be successful! :moony: [h=3]Bollywood films don't always need a song and dance - Shah Rukh Khan[/h] By Serena Chaudhry LONDON (Reuters) - The Indian film industry is changing and films no longer have to have a song and dance sequence to be successful, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan said on Wednesday. Khan, who was in London on a brief visit to promote his latest film, told Reuters in an interview that while "Fan" had a theme song, it did not actually feature in the movie and had been used purely for trailers.
