“Russian Film Days” in India will be held from 12th till 15th October for the 4th time. This time it will be a part of cultural events at Russia-India Annual Summit and the meeting of the president of Russia and the Prime-Minister of India. The film festival is still expanding the boundaries: the most successful and prominent films will be shown not only in Delhi but in Pune and the capital of Bollywood Mumbai as well.
The opening ceremony will take place at Russian Center of Culture and Science in New Delhi on October, 12. An intense program of the festival is to be opened by a world premiere of “Last Trial” directed by Alexey Petrukhin. The film, which dwells on acute social issues, will be screened 1,5 months prior to the first night in Russia (November 28, 2018). It will be presented by actresses Ann? Churina and Alisa Grebenschikova.
An audience in India will have a chance to watch Russian iconic films which were released this year and have already gained wide popularity. Among them, there is the leader of Russian box office – drama on sport “Ice”, cosmic drama “Spacewalkers”, the first part of a cinema series “Gogol. The beginning”, the comedy “Well, hello there, Oksana Sokolova”, fairytale “The Last Warrior” and animation “Sheep and Wolves”.
The films will be presented by honored guests from the Russian film fraternity Anna Churina, Valentina Mazunina, Artem Tkachenko, Alisa Grebenschikova, Victor Khorinyak.
“Russian Film Days” in India are instrumental in improving contacts with the creative and economic elite as well as strengthening bonds in the cinema industry, instigating cultural exchange and shaping the image of Russia as a partner of India. Past experience makes its success this year obvious.
Forum producer, the adviser of the Russian Filmmakers Union, “The Hollywood Reporter” Russia editor-in-chief Maria Lemesheva, who heads the Russian delegation, says, “Every year the festival “Russian Film Days” is becoming more and more large-scale and it has always been popular with the audience. More than 15 thousand people have watched Russian films in India for the past 3 years. We believe that cinema language is one of the most uniting elements in culture. This year we will present the most striking films made in Russia and we hope they will be as popular in India as they have been in Russia”.
The first festival “Russian Film Days” in India dates back to 2015. It was mentioned in the joint statement of the president of Russia Vladimir Putin and the Prime-Minister of India Narendra Modi during the BRICS summit.
The fourth festival is organized by LLC Cinemarus and supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, Russian Filmmakers Union, Russian National Fund of Copyright’s Holders Support, Embassy of the Russian Federation in the Republic of India, Russian Center of Science and Culture in New Delhi and Star Media Film Company.
The dresses that are worn out are often discarded, but what happens if you were in love with the touch and feel of a particular dress and somehow don’t want to discard it even if it doesn’t fit you anymore. Modify your worn out or old outfits into something more meaningful that you can carry on wearing in the present day.
Ashima Sharma, owner of Ashima S Couture and Nidhi Yadav, founder, AKS Clothing are sharing some tips to modify an existing outfit that is worn out.
*Making a top out of a worn-out dress: Take your dress and cut it the required size of a top and sew the raw edges from inside. Then, using the dress’ inseam as a guide, cut the top of the dress’ sleeves down to where it hits the mid-section of the upper arm. Now, sew 1/4th inches of the raw edges inside the sleeves to create a clean edge. To make it look more stylish, take a yard of a ribbon and cut it in half and sew one ribbon per side, to the inside of the dress. Now tie these ribbons to create a cute bow on your shoulder.
Pakistani designer Khadija Shah, whose label Élan is making an India debut, finds both the neighbouring countries sharing the same taste and sensibilities along with similar culture and identities. She says she planned to bring the brand to India as it has received a love from here.
“India is a country with tastes and sensibilities very similar to Pakistan. We share a similar culture, history, and identities. Over the years, Élan has received a lot of love from India, from some getting in touch with us for couture and bridal wear, to others reaching us in markets like Dubai and Singapore for our ready to wear collections.
Undeniably, Ranbir Kapoor’s personal style is quite impressive. Be it a traditional attire or a tuxedo, Kapoor knows how to carry himself with utmost grace. As the actor turns a year older on September 28, let’s take a look at some of his best fashion statements of 2018.
While attending Sonam Kapoor’s reception ceremony, the Brashmastra actor looked dapper in a textured white kurta-pyjama combo teamed with an asymmetric bandhgala from Manish Malhotra.
Dia Mirza pulls off ethnic wear with so much ease that she has been an inspiration to many. Recently, we spotted her hosting the Champions of the Earth Awards at New York alongside Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin. For the event, she chose a Payal Khandwala sari from the designer’s Gemini’18 collection and we think she looked gorgeous in it.
The grey and gold coloured sari was teamed with a top featuring an interesting neckline detailing. For the accessories, stylist Theia Tekchandaney picked a statement necklace and matching earrings. A neutral make-up palette with a gorgeous half-tied hairdo gave finishing touches to her look.
Esha Gupta knows how to make heads turn with her impressive sartorial choices. Her casual outfits have mostly managed to get a thumbs up from us and this time too, it was no different. Clad in a pink and red outfit, we think the Rustom actor looked lovely.

Are bucket hats back for good again? If the ongoing ten day long Paris Fashion Week is any indication, it may be a good time to clean the dust off your old bucket hat and put it back on. The runway in Paris is considered to be a place where trends are set, and this season, there are a lot of bucket hats.
For those of you who want to know what a bucket hat is, it is a wide, downward-sloping hat made of cotton, wool or other heavy duty fabrics. Known to be first adopted as a high fashion item in the 1960s, it was later revived several times in both street fashion and on the ramp. In what was a thing of the ’90s, looks like it is set to hit the wardrobe again.
White and blue seem to be the favourite colours of Bollywood celebrities these days as most of them have been spotted donning these hues while sashaying down the airport. While Anushka Sharma, Esha Gupta and Malaika Arora sported a mix of both the colours, Shilpa Shetty picked a monochrome outfit. Let’s take a look at some of the interesting airport styles from this week.
During Sui Dhaaga promotions, Anushka Sharma had shown us some great ways to sport stylish outfits – right from her monotone ensembles to jumpsuits and floral dresses. Looks like the fashionable streak is going to continue.
Recently, the 30-year-old was seen stepping out in an all-blue outfit from her own brand, Nush and she looked lovely in it. Her ensemble included a pair of flared, paper bag waist jeans that was combined with a ruffle top in a slightly darker shade. Stylist Allia Al Rufai added oomph to her monotone outfit by pairing it with golden heels. For the make-up, artist Sandhya Shekar rounded off her look with a dewy sheen and well-defined eyes whereas, hairstylist Franco Vallelonga styled her hair in a messy ponytail that complemented her look well.
