...need to feel abashed at not knowing the answer: Indian Actor Shashi Kapoor, 38, is one of the stars in the Asian moviemaking world whose output is prodigious by Hollywood standards but who is seldom seen in the U.S. (Shashi did play opposite Hayley Mills in Pretty Polly.) For the most part, that is just as well. No other region of the world produces such a concoction of Kung Fu, scifi, porn, soapers, chasers and period pieces with such uneven degrees of tackiness and brilliance. From India to Japan, the film studios of Asia churn out more than...
...stars, like Shashi Kapoor, classical dancer Gopi Krishna and lovely Shabana Azmi, 24, do very well working hard at their trade. Most days Shashi, for instance, does two eight-hour acting stints on different Bombay lots, often for his brother Raj's production company. On others, he'll hop a plane for Srinagar for a day's shooting in Kashmir, or roar off in his white Mercedes to Pune (formerly Poona) for a locationer. Then he will rush back to Bombay to read the script for Last Train to Pakistan, his next starring vehicle, and perhaps consider...
...used air force planes for campaign purposes, bribed voters with blankets, clothing and liquor, spent more than the $4,500 limit, and used the Congress Party's symbol (a cow and a calf) in an illicit religious appeal for votes.

Justice Sinha, who is regarded as a staunchly non-political jurist, also found that the Uttar Pradesh state government had illegally assisted her by improving roads, erecting platforms and providing special crowd protection...
...most standards of political corruption-particularly in India, where bureaucratic malfeasance is rampant -the charges seemed trivial. Both hinge on technicalities. Mrs. Gandhi testified that Kapoor resigned on Jan. 14 and began working in her campaign on Feb. 1. The judge ruled that Kapoor's resignation was not valid until it was put in writing on Jan. 25 and that in fact he helped organize her campaign as early as Jan. 7. As for the second charge, Mrs. Gandhi testified that the state's deployment of extra police was necessary for security reasons. The other arrangements, she added...
...quickie weekend at Esalen. Hermann Hesse's novel has been adapted with stuporous devotion by Conrad Rooks, who in 1967 unleashed Chappaqua, a shambling phantasmagoria of the hallucinatory world of alcoholism and drug addiction. His skills have become no sharper in the intervening years. Siddhartha (Shashi Kapoor), as any campus sophomore would know, spends the better part of his lifetime beating the bushes in search of spiritual insight and fulfillment. It is a hard job achieving nirvana, and seems to require a great deal of sitting by babbling brooks and talking in hushed tones. For a while Siddhartha embraces...
