OMG review - The Akki-Paresh plays the saviour





328931_($6 Payout) Save 62% on a 8.75x11 Hardcover Photobook 336x280
It seems that the blow that Akshay had with 'Joker' is very soon healed as his next movie 'OMG - Oh My God' does the job what was missing in Joker. The super hit pair of Akshay and Paresh Rawal is given credit for the movie, which might have been otherwise a weaker plot to discuss. The movie talks about the importance of loving the god you believe instead of fearing the god and doing the rituals in the same fear.

Oh My God is the story of a shopkeeper Kanjibhai (Paresh Rawal), who sells antique idols of God at triple times its original price. A tornado destroys his antique store and then he decides to take God to court. When he claims for an insurance reimbursment the company denies this mentioning the mishap as an act of god. Which makes Kanjibhai file a case against all famous saints and gurus - and thereby god. 


As Kanjibhai directs all his ire at God and His "collection agents" – in the courtroom, he describes cash-rich temples as business establishments and their portly priests as salesmen – Lord Krishna decides to step in and do something about the mess that has enveloped his life.

The movie does have a lot of let downs and a series of overacting scenes by co-actors. 

Govind Namdeo as a saffron-clad godman is the top among the list followed by Poonam Jhawer, whose intention was much less but turned out to be a worst of performances. Again this is the reason why Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar is marked as the rescuers. Most of the one liners between them gets in the claps running, but this doesn't mean that every one of this was accepted with a smile!


Oh My God Movie Page


The movie had a court case filed by the Women Congress in Gujarat for hurting the religious sentiments of Hindus. But this case was dismissed without further proceedings and the makers also added in a disclaimer to soften its approach towards the comical situations that were being made: OMG disavows any intention of hurting the sentiments of "any individual, community, sect or religion"

Mithun Chakraborty would have also shone better if there wasn't some of the sequences in the movie. The production of Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar wouldn't be a miss as Joker did. 

All said and done, the movie is a mix of entertainment and some of the real life drama. Inspired from the famous Gujrati play 'Kanji Virrudh Kanji' the makers have done justice to what was to be portrayed, but if you question if this was the correct way, then we would say it would have been lot better, and should have taken the movie to a better level.

Now this has become more strong a news that normal as Anurag was recently seen around London along with Anushka Sharma and Shahrukh Khan. Which was obviously an invite by SRK to visit the sets. Also it has been noted that his wife Kalki Koechlin has also been binding with the SRK camp and is a regular at most of the events in Mannat and SRK's friends.

Anurag's recent movie Gangs of Wasseypur was vowed by SRK through twitter and he was quite excited about the movie also it is said that SRK has requested Anurag to write a story for him and he is eager to work with the director. Anurag who is also interested to work with SRK has agreed to do this under one condition, a source reveals, “SRK asked Anurag to make a film for him. Anurag agreed to it but on one condition. The filmmaker told SRK that he would write a film and even narrate it to him but would hand over the bound script only after SRK signed the film.”

Later, all of them were spotted hanging out at Mannat. 

Also there is the Salman Khan camp who is doing away with the director with well set boundaries.

So we are wondering if the Salman-Shahrukh war is making way for SRK-Anurag friendship! Only time will reveal this, for now we are waiting for the good news of a new movie with SRK-Anurag pairing.

Ranveer and Deepika! What’s going on?






506073_Free Customization

Kya Karu Oh ladies, main hoon aadat se majboor! These lines really suit Bollywood’s soon to be tagged ‘Casanova’ Ranveer Singh.

Two weeks ago we heard the news of Ranveer and Anushka Sharma’s break up. Guess our Bitto has moved on very quickly. If reports are to be believed Ranveer and leggy lass Deepika Padukone were spotted watching Ek Tha Tiger together. Not only this, they also went for a party and remained there till the wee hours of morning.  Ummm... what’s cooking?

Guys if you are thinking that Deepika is the reason for Ranveer-Anushka break up then you are wrong.

Ranveer met Deepika at the workshop of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram Leela in which they will be paired opposite each other for the first time.  The two instantly got together and seemed to be enjoying each other’s company.

According to the sources they went to see EK Tha Tiger and then headed to Shaad's residence for a party and remained there till early morning.

 Ranveer and Anushka  both although alleged to be a couple since their film ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ never acknowledged their relationship with each other towards media. They were very well known for their love-hate relationship. News about their on and off break up always kept doing the rounds. Recently news about Ranveer’s growing proximity with Dabaang’s Sonakshi Sinha was spreading like wild fire in the industry. It had resulted to a lot of trouble between the couple. But it was observed that every time rumours about the actor’s alleged link-up came to surface the duo would make a public appearance together, confusing everyone about their relationship status.

Just a month ago before they called it quits, Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma had gone on a long vacation in Paris.  No one really knows what went wrong between them but both called off their relationship. On the other hand, Deepika on the professional front is enjoying all the adulations from her fans for her performance in Cocktail. Everyone is aware of her break-up with Kingfisher’s business tycoon’s son Siddharth Mallaya. It was also said that she left the 16 crore flat gifted by him last year.

So is the closeness between Ranveer-Deepika real or is it another publicity stunt to promote their upcoming movie?

Yash Chopra Romance - Teasers Out





328931_($15.60 Payout) Save 61% on Home Movie to DVD 300x250
Still unnamed (huh?!) but yet the teasers are out for the upcoming Shahrukh Khan - Katrina Kaif starrer. The Yash Chopra romance is what YRF has given the title to the teaser. (view teaser)

The teaser goes through the early 80's and 90's where the magic of Yash Chopra's direction happened and finally comes to 2012 where the movie teaser begins, there are only glimpses of how SRK looks in the movie but for Katrina and Anushka they have ample screen space in the 2 min (approx) teaser. 


The film’s first teaser was shown right before Yash Raj Film’s new release, ‘Ek Tha Tiger’. The teaser also takes the viewers a trip down memory lane showcasing clippings of some brilliant films that the filmmaker has made in the past. 

Although the film is yet to be titled, the trio-SRK,Katrina and Anushka- look splendid in the teaser. The film also brings together AR Rahman and Gulzar together after the Oscar winning work in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. Rahman and Yash Raj have teamed up for the first time ever for this SRK starrer.

The movie will be releasing on Diwali and hopefully it will have a name at that time! (please!!!)

Although this movie has made the three actors, Shahrukh, Katrina and Anushka great friends already. In a recent interview, Katrina was going gaga on the co-actors. “He (SRK) took extra time to stand & rehearse the lines with me and help me out there. He is extremely helpful.”

Kat then talked about her rapport with Anushka Sharma and revealed that the two, for fun sake, used to make their own movie in their heads by writing alternate scenes! So that rumor aint true Kats? No fun!

Katrina added that Shahrukh Khan personally doesn't shows off his stardom and is extremely cooperative on the sets - does that mean someone else does this ? (Hah!)

We are eagerly waiting to see how the king of romance does it when he meets the Yash Chopra once again!

SRK to promote Chennai Express during IPL





328931_($15.60 Payout) Save 61% on Home Movie to DVD 300x250


According to the latest reports, King Khan is set to promote his upcoming movie Chennai Express in the next season of IPL.

SRK is well known for his aggressive marketing style. No one can ever forget the rigorous promotions of Shahrukh’s Ra.One which started almost 4-5 months before the movie’s actual release. This time around the Superstar has planned to promote his film Chennai Express during the opening event of IPL season 6 by a performance.

After the success of Bol Bachchan, Rohit Shetty is all set to start his shooting with the Baadshah of Bollywood for his movie Chennai Express. Reports say that King Khan is planning to market the movie’s name on railway cups and trays since the story of the movie revolves around a train.

Chennai Express will be a hard core commercial film with a romantic angle starring Shahrukh Khan & his Om Shanti Om co-star Deepika Padukone. The story is about a man travelling from Mumbai to Rameshwaram and his experiences during the journey. There is a lot of romance keeping Shah Rukh Khan in mind but it will also be a typical Rohit Shetty film like the cars blowing and other lot of action.

Buzz was that the Golmaal filmmaker was previously supposed to do a remake of Gulzaar’s Angoor, but kept the project at the backburner since he realised getting dates from SRK is a big task! Apparently there were also rumors about a fall-out between Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgan as the Singham star was upset of not being part of good friend, Rohit's next flick. But later both rubbished such gossips.

Will SRK and Rohit's jodi be a SuperHit?  Will the King Khan's marketing tactics work this time? Time will only tell...

Hollywood’s Natalie Portman asking Saif Ali Khan for an apology





384529_Take Flight with our Aviator Eyewear!
When news of Saif working on a film project with Oscar winner Natalie Portman were doing rounds in the Bollywood industry  another news of the Hollywood actress threatening to sue the Nawaab for spreading false news have surfaced.
 
"A love story we are working on... It's a secret...We are doing a film with Natalie Portman,” texted the Bollywood actor to a leading Indian newspaper, last week. However when probed for further details he remained mum and avoided to disclose any information. It was said that the movie will be a romantic-comedy.

With Cocktail getting the thumbs up from the viewers, Saif stated that he hopes to continue doing romcom even after ten years. "I hope I can do romantic films at the age of 50. There is no age for romance. If the story is nice and the character suits you then why not do it. It is not like you can do only action films at a certain age.

As long as you look good doing the part, there should not be any problem," Saif said in an interview. 
If the news of his movie with the Hollywood actress would have been true, then Saif Ali Khan would have been the second Indian actor to work with Natalie in a movie. The Black Swan star had previously worked with Irrfan Khan in an anthology film- New York, I Love You, joining several love stories set in one of the most loved cities of the world, New York itself!

Everything seemed right until the legal team of No strings attached actress got on the phone and threatened Khan with a law suit. Well, it seems news travelled to the star, who was completely unaware to the fact that such a movie was in the works.

The team wanted Saif Ali Khan to apologise for using the actress’s name for false publicity.

Later the Bollywood star took back his words and was quoted saying: “It was a joke, I am sorry. It’s just that I am very annoyed with speculations on all the aspects of my life. If this goes on, I might just start making up stories like these to entertain myself. Hope people will understand that.”

Hey Saif, if you want to make fun next time, better stick to your Bollywood co-stars to avoid such kind of trouble!

545845_Shop Women's Clothing at Figleaves.com!
Shruthi Haasan, the multi talented actress, who can sing and also write! She has been much in news for the way she takes up her roles in movies as well as personal life. She has gone through the ups and downs even being the daughter of legendary Kamal Haasan, she knows that she has a great path to travel.

Shruthi has been recently signed up for Prabhudeva's next movie which is again a romantic hard-to-hard love movie. The movie will see Kumar Taurani's son Girish playing the lead. 

Prabhudeva, who has had three back-to-back 100 crore hits in the industry has now shifted his base to Mumbai to concentrate more on his work than travel. Prabhu Dheva confirmed Shruti's presence in the project saying, "We were thinking of a new girl. But Shruti seems a better option. She has everything it takes." Prabhudeva was speaking to TOI.

 "It is as massey as Rowdy Rathore. That is the only language I know. It will be targeted at single-theatre audiences. But we will put some elements for the multiplex audience as well." adds in the choreographer turned actor turned director. He is happy to have shifted to Mumbai and says "I am staying in Boney Kapoor's old place in Green Acres as they've shifted to a new bungalow."

Good Luck Prabhu!

Meanwhile, there are many eyes which are looking up at the duo performance of Shruthi Haasan and Kamal Haasan, but it seems that it is Shruthi who feels she is not yet ready for the performance. “Shruti feels that if she acts in her father’s film, she would like him to treat her like another actor, and not his daughter. And she knows that the only way she would be able to do justice to her role is if she establishes herself first. Till then, she isn’t in a hurry to work with him,” says an insider close to Shruti.

Ask Shruthi about it, she says “I’d love to work with my dad. But I want to perfect myself first. I want him to treat me like any other actor and not be partial. That’s the only way I’ll be able to give my best.”

I am unhappy with Madhuri Dixit - Sampat Pal Devi



When Madhuri Dixit decides it is always a big news and is wide spread - the fans around her readily accepts her acts and when she said she is doing Gulab Gang, her fans were thrilled but it seems that not everyone shares the same emotion. Sampat Pal Devi, an activist and founder of Gulabi Gang is extremely angry about the latest news and she is ready to take her rage against the film makers and Madhuri too!

“I am unhappy with Madhuri Dixit. She is going ahead with the film without even checking with me. Without our permission, Madhuri shouldn’t work in such a film,” says an irate Pal. “Meri izzat ka sawaal hai (it’s all about my dignity). The film can’t be made without my approval.” adds Sampat Pal.

“Do filmmakers ever make a film based on real life? They come up with movies merely based on newspaper reports and Internet stories. Madhuri Dixit kya hai hamare aage? (who is Madhuri Dixit in front of me?). People like her are just making money while we help the poor for free.” says the 65 year old, furious Sampat Pal Devi. 

The film makers had earlier mentioned that this doesn't bear resemblance to the organization of Sampat Pal Devi, but she disagrees "Instead, they claim it’s a different film. But my question is: where is this Gulab Gang? In which part (of country) are they active? They have to clarify these details. Everyone knows it’s our gang. In the coming days, we will protest against the film,” she says, adding, “If the film gets made, I will go across the country and create trouble for the makers.”

With these rages in progress, the filmmakers had also claimed that the Gulab Gang members were also aware of the movie and were eager to meet the Bollywood beauty, but the president disagrees it strongly and denies any such act from their team "Who’s going to meet them? I am the leader of the gang. How can someone else meet them on our behalf? How can they make a film by simply wearing pink saris?”. Sampat Pal is also planning a legal attack over the movie.

The movie has been conceptualised by Soumik and Sinha. The film will release on March 8 (International Women’s Day), 2013.

The Gulabi gang is a group of women vigilantes and activists originally from Banda in Bundelkhand district, Uttar Pradesh.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulabi_gang

Ranbir, Kareena, Zoya : Is it beating high?




The first cousins will finally share a common screen space and this will happen for the first time with Zoya Akhtar, we are still in confusion clouds but that is the strongest beat that we are receiving from the Bollywood sources. It seems that the wonder director has finally managed to grab dates from the two superstars of Bollywood. It is said that nothing but the pure strength of script did drive the two actors into the project and it is in a stage of finalization. 

Zoya Akhtar who did magic on her first venture ZNMD is being eagerly awaited by the community when she plans her next and this time too, she doesn't want to keep it low. Zoya met Kareena on the sets of Talaash and narrated the script to her. Kareena loved the script and readily agreed to play the part. Ranbir has also given his green signal to the script. According to sources, both Ranbir and Kareena were always aware that they couldn`t pair romantically for any film. So for them to come together for any project, it needed to have an extraordinary script. The film will now go on floors by the end of this year. 

 "Zoya will be reviving the brother-sister relationship genre. And she has now managed to cast real life siblings Ranbir and Kareena for it," the tabloid quoted the source as saying.

So we might see another brother sister saga in Zoya style!

This time he has decided to do an overall makeover, and this is for his upcoming movie Bhag Milka Bhag. 

Farhan had been showered with praises from all over the world and he looks pretty much close to the original flying Sikh, Milkha Singh. Among the few elites to comment on his new looks was Arjun Rampal, who was stunned by the new looks of Farhan, "that pic of u as Milkha is just outstanding, wow, what a transformation, way to go or shall I say bhag Milkha bhag.Super proud” 

Farhan, did politely thank everyone who did take the time for supporting his efforts and added up "Hello all. Thank you so much for the positive vibes you're sending re the Milkha Singh look. It's adding more zip to our stride.” One of the most beautiful comments that the actor received was from the daughter of Milkha Singh, Sonia Singh, who couldn't hold her surprise after seeing the actor.

“Omg u actually look like dad. All the very best.” To which Farhan replied: “Your tweet made my day. Thank you so much” and she adds “my kids were like why are there two nanas. but really all credit goes to u. great work done.”

Farhan looks to have done a overall makeover, as he looks more athletic than he looked in ZNMD. He has toned down his muscles to match the athlete icon. The movie is directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and will have Sonam Kapoor playing the lead lady. The director mentions that the movie is not related to sports but focuses on the human spirit and works on how the athlete mold himself to make it to the olympics and bite the gold there.

Vidya continues her search for missing husband




Yes, that has been what the actress is doing for promoting her next movie 'Kahaani' in which she plays the character who comes to Kolkatta in search of her husband. And during the promotions of the movie Vidya Balan has tookup a mock search across north India in search of her husband and make the idea reach the mass in her own style. This started with her Dirty Picture promos, where she had performed, dressed like Silk Smitha on the dance floor in Malls.

When asked about if she got the idea from where Aamir had left his film promotions, she was open enough to confirm that she was extremely impressed with the actor and was silently following him "Of course, I do follow his style for film promos. And not just that, I have no qualms in saying that I'm hugely inspired by Aamir Khan even though I have not worked with him as yet," says Vidya.

Aamir Khan, during promotion of his movie 'Ghajini' had come up with his bald look and also had shaved the fan heads to resemble his looks. The media had also asked her about her latest style of movies that she is performing which requires less a presence of a male protagonist, she was quick to respond her views and she says "No, I don't feel so. Its just that, for the past few films I have been getting strong roles and so people have started saying that when I do a film there is no need of a male counterpart. I suffice as the hero. But I feel that every field requires a natural balance of men and women." 

She also took time to promote her next item number, Ferrari Ki Sawaari, and says "Please don't say it's an item number," Vidya hastened to call out before adding, "I prefer to call it a special appearance. Having said that, I'm sure the audience will love my dance, inspired by a folk art form, in the film. As for sexy moves, even though I'm fully clad the sensuality, the sexy moves and my expressions are enough to display oomph." 

Vidya will be doing Ghanchakkar with Emran Hashmi next and there are rumors that she will be the main lead in Sudhir Mishra's, 'Mehrunnissa' but Vidya hasn't confirmed this yet A lot people have been asking me about "Mehrunissa" but till now I have not signed it. Sudhir ji may be planning to approach me but he has not done so."

Kuch Spice....Online !!!




Kuch Spice To Make It Meetha is the first commercial venture which is officially being released on-line. Its a 25-minute short-film. The movie released online on February 29, can be watched in any part of the world.

First-time director Adeeb Rai says, “There are rapid changes happening in the entertainment industry and I wanted to exploit the online medium. We wanted to tap the pulse of the GenX viewers. Marriage is a big question on every youngster’s mind. It leads to confusion, conflicts and friction. So in this film, we talk about all of this and how to make it meetha !”

23 year old Adeeb, a fresher from a film school started working on this project a year ago. Working on a shoe-string budget, he didn’t have the luxury to splurge like other filmmakers. He said, “The actors did not take a rupee from me”. So did Adeeb Rai choose to release the film online because of budget constraints ? He says, “I never thought of releasing it in multiplexes. It is not a niche, festival film meant for a small audience. It had to reach the masses. So the best way was to release it online. It wasn’t the small budget. If I had chosen multiplexes, then it would have released in just one city.”

The actors say it was his enthusiasm that led them to be part of the project. “His extra enthusiastic nature lured us into the project. We never thought of doing it for popularity. In fact the online release is a bonus,” says Nauheed. She plays the character of city-bred Tarana. “It is a fun character and the subject is something that youngsters will relate to”. For Adeeb Rai and his young crew, it is their grand debut in the Hindi film industry.

The story of Kuch Spice To Make it Meetha revolves around a hotly debated topic, 'The attitude today’s youths have towards marriage and commitment'. His next film, Main Aur Mr Riight has a strong connection with Bengaluru and will go on floors this April. 

The director hopes that this movie throws open opportunities for people who have new and different ideas but are unable to execute them either because of financial constraints or lack of support from the industry. “This initiative should encourage filmmakers and technicians to showcase their talent.”

One Movie,Two different climaxes !!!!




One of the most awaited movies of 2012, Ek Deewana Tha, starring Prateik Babbar and Amy Jackson written and directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, is all set to hit the screens today.

A different love story, which revolves around a mechanical engineering graduate, ardent about being a film maker and his neighbour, who is a year old than him. Its all about the trials and tribulations they face in their love. This movie is a remake of the director's own Tamil movie, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (VTV) starring Simbu and Trisha which was remade in Telugu as Ye Maaya Chesave starring Naga Chaitanya and Samantha. But it is said that Ek Deewana Tha is going to be very different from the Tamil and Telugu version.

It's quite amusing to know that Ek Deewana Tha will have two endings, yes TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS WITH TWO DIFFERENT ENDINGS !!!!! For the first time in our country, a Bollywood film is releasing with two different climaxes at once!!! While the most popular ending will be the one at the theaters, elite screens will have what can be called the 'Director's Cut' (as the director feels there are quite a few audiences who would love the director’s cut) which will be screened only at selected theatres.

But Why is the climax different from the Tamil and Telugu version ? Gautham Menon says, "No two men think alike !!! So when it came to catering to my core audience, I had to think differently each time. It was like three different directors working on the same story. The Tamil audience is more receptive to unusual endings. Thus we had a coming-of-age climax for that audience. The Telugu version had a feel-good climax because the audience there prefers happy endings. However, the climax of the Hindi version will warm the viewer's hearts, will be very endearing.... it is going to be something unexpected". 

Gautham Menon has shot three different versions of the climax and is unwilling to reveal the one he is going to use. What could be the climax ??? 

Stay tuned to know more about the movie reviews....

Shahrukh waiting on Aamir?




Now that is the buzz in Bollywood, Aamir Khan will decide whether Shah Rukh Khan will sign a new film or not. Its not a irony that we are talking about but it seems that the production team associated with SRK is waiting on Aamir Khan's movie Talaash's release and the success it gains.

The matter spiced up when Gautham Vasudev Menon's movie 'Vettayaadu Vilayadu', a tamil movie has plans of being remade in Hindi and the director has expressed his desire to cast in Shah Rukh Khan as the lead role. The movie speaks about a cop who tries to pursue a serial killer, it is also said that the lead role was suggested by Kamal Hassan, who had played the hero for the original movie. But since playing cop is a new territory for SRK, he is still thinking about it and this is where Aamir Khan's role starts as he is going to release a movie with a similar story line, Talaash.

SRK is currently thinking of doing this slow and it might take a good five months of time before he makes up his mind. Currently he is working on two projects one from Yash Chopra and another from Rohit Shetty.

So we are eagerly waiting on you King!

ISHQIYA 2 is gonna be a cult movie - Arshad



Arshad Warsi is all plans for the new year. He had been much appreciated for his role in the movie Ishqiya in which he shared screen with Naseerudin Shah and Vidya Balan. The movie makers are now planning a sequel to it and it should be on the table pretty soon.

In a recent twitter post, Arshad Warsi mentioned " Spent New Year's (eve) chatting with Vishal Bhardwaj and Abhishek Chaubey, looks like ISHQIYA 2 is gonna be a cult movie... different in every sense,"

He is set to play a rustic guy once again. In the first instalment of "Ishqiya", which bagged four national awards, Arshad essayed Babban, a hot-blooded, lustful man, who scoffs at the idea of true romantic love. The first version had hit the screens in 2010.
