Aamir Khan Regrets in 3 idiots

Bollywood Mr Perfectionist Actor Aamir Khan feels he should not have taken the role of a college student in 3 Idiots. “I shouldn’t have acted in 3 Idiots as in no way do I look like an 18 year old.

Ferrari Ki Sawaari Kareena or Katrina ?

Bollywood Actor Sharman Joshi is all set to start shooting under the direction of debutant Rajesh Mapuskar and Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s next production, Ferrari Ki Sawaari. But the toughest question is who will play his leading lady. It is learnt that the filmmakers are considering either Kareena Kapoor or Katrina Kaif to play the lead. Interestingly, the female lead’s role was completely absent in the film’s initial drafts. Hirani introduced the role when he took over the scripting of the movie. “Raju was in the process of scripting his next when Vinod asked him to write Ferrari Ki Sawaari. While writing this film, he came up with Joshi’s wife’s character, which is pivotal to the storyline,” reveals a source. Katrina Mapuskar suggested casting Kaif as the wife whose character features in the flashback sequence, in black-and-white. “Rajesh is keen on Katrina as he feels she will look like the leading ladies in the era of black-and-white cinema,” explains a source.

Deepika Padukone Item Number in Dum Maro Dum

Some of the words of Bollywood Actress Deepika Padukone’s item song in the film Dum Maro Dum appear to be objectionable. Some item songs are plain raunchy. Some go further and border on being outright indecent with words that are sure to raise brows. A ‘Munni’ going zandu balm for her darling or a ‘Sheila’ flaunting her jawani may not fall in the category of being vulgar, but the words of Deepika’s item song in Dum Maro Dum are bawdy, to say the least. From some we hear, the song’s lyrics go: Hey…kya phir dekh raha hai, Aaj aankhen sek raha hai kal haath sekega, Aaj dheel chhod raha hai, kal khud hi tokega, Aaj mere liye chair kheech raha hai kal meri skirt kheechega, Kheechega ki nahi? Apparently, Deepika was also not happy with the lyrics of the song, but when she came to know of its context in the plot, she gave in and did the item. She even got a removable cobra tattoo on her midriff with the words ‘Dum Maro Dum’ written in Hindi.

Introducing to you Patiala House as a joint Sikh family, consisting of sons, daughters, ghar jamais and cousins, homing various talents. Unfortunately, none of them could live their dreams, reason being the bigoted and adamant Rishi Kapoor. Times change, people also change but Gurtej Singh Khalon aka Bauji (Rishi Kapoor) wasn’t made out of the changing material ..The movie is about Bauji developing hatred against the goras after a horrid incident of his mentor (Prem Chopra) getting killed under a racist attack … This triggered a sense of deep p

Yeh Saali Zindagi - Movie Review

Producer- Sudhir Mishra Director- Sudhir Mishra Music Director- Nishat Khan Cast- Arunoday Singh, Chitrangda Singh, Irrfan Khan, Aditi Rao Hydari, Saurabh Shukla, Sushant Singh, Vipin Sharma, Yashpal Sharma, Prashant Narayanan, Vipul Gupta A while ago, while chatting him up for my show on TV, I had queried Sudhir Mishra as to why Hindi film industry fails to produce qualitative movies, unlike the 1960s and 1970s, which have tremendous recall value even in the present day? I markedly remember, Mishra didn blink an eyelid while answering this one: "Thats because most producers are not literate enough to understand scripts that could elevate the standards of Hindi films. Film-making for them is limited to the weekend business these days." The proclamation stayed with me! When you saunter into a cineplex to watch a Sudhir Mishra film, its given that this maverick film-maker will serve you non-formulaic stuff. As a viewer, I liked some of his efforts [IS RAAT KI SUBAH N

Priyanka Chopra - Never Seen Rs 6 Crore Cash

Talking with press conference in Mumbai, India. Bollywood Bold and Beautiful Actress Priyanka Chopra said she has never seen cash amounting to Rs 6 Crore, so there is no question of having had it in her house during the recent IT raid. As to the presence of her rumored beau Shahid Kapoor at her house during the raid, Priyanka said since her mother, who usually stays with her, wasn’t at the house, she asked Shahid, who stays three minutes away, to be there on her behalf. Priyanka told the assembled pressmen that she was deeply hurt by the unsubstantiated headlines that unaccounted cash totaling Rs 6 crore was recovered from her house. “You believe in rumors when they run it as front-page news, without checking its authenticity.
