Remember when a visit to the pictures meant being treated to an eclectic 2D cabaret of newsreels and shorts before the feature even began? Nah, neither do we. But that doesn’t mean we don’t yearn for those halcyon days of cinematic variety, which is why we’re bringing you a new feature – one of our favourite short films, every single week. Simple really.

This Bollywood movie ticks all the boxes. There’s jewels. There’s dancing. There’s more glitter than you can shake a stick at.

Hitchcock and the guy that made Anvil! A match made in heaven…

Doe-eyed actress to follow in Michelle Pfeiffer’s steps, but NOT Halle Berry’s. We don’t talk about that bloody film.
