As Bollywood's love affair with London continues with films being shot at various locations here, British film authorities have now unveiled a new map that lists venues where recent blockbusters were shot. So the next time tourists from India come visiting, they can visit locations where popular films such as Kabhi Khushie Kabhi Gham(Osterley Park) or Mujhse Dosti Karoge (Starford Station) were shot. The new movie map is eighth in a series of maps designed to encourage tourists and cinema-lovers alike to discover the capital through films. More than 40 Hindi films were shot in London last year. Some of the most popular locations for Indian films have been Trafalgar Square, Natural History Museum, Tower Bridge, the Royal Albert Hall, Millennium Dome, the houses of parliament, Nelson's Column and the London Eye.

Pakuranga dancer, choreographer and Bollywood dance teacher, Viraf Todywalla knows how to shake his booty and he’d love to see more people doing the same. Viraf has just this week released a new DVD, V4U Dhoom3 Nite, a 90-minute overview of the Dhoom3 concert held earlier this year. The July concert followed hugely successful earlier concerts in 2005 and 2006, which helped raise the profile of Bollywood dancing in Auckland. “Bollywood dancing attracts a wide range of students who love its verve and funky attitude,” Viraf says. “You don’t have to be a dancer to learn and for many people it’s a chance to try something quite new. However, it also appeals to young people with Indian heritage who want to retain their cultural ties but prefer this modern twist on tradition.” Viraf teaches Bollywood dancing at his Pakuranga studio every Saturday and Sunday and also operates a classical Indian dance class at Elm Park Primary School on Wednesdays. A dancer since his teens, he came to New Zealan...

MOSCOW: After remaining out of the silver screens for years, the Bollywood has now re-entered into the Russian homes since the launch of India TV channel. The paid cable TV channel, devoted to Bollywood, has seen its viewership surge dramatically since its launch last year by the Red Media group, Russia's largest producer of theme channels, and it now broadcasts 24 hours a day. "Its audience is currently estimated at 5.5 million viewers, but has the potential to grow tenfold to 50 million," India TV channel's editor-in-chief Yuri Podstolnikov was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti news agency. According to Podstolnikov the only factor holding back the growth is that so far only 15 per cent of the country's households have the equipment to receive cable television. The channel is especially popular with the older generation, which is still nostalgic about Bollywood in the Hindi-Roosi Bhai-Bhai days. During Soviet era, Bollywood movies like Awara, Bobb...

Australian Customs is this week on the verge of destroying more than 11,000 pirated Indian movies that arrived in both Sydney and Melbourne via Sea Cargo in March. The DVDs arrived from Singapore in two commercial consignments containing pirated Bollywood movies and thousands of DVD covers. Customs officers were forced to seize the goods because they contravened the Copyright Act. "These counterfeits represent a deliberate attempt to rip off the legitimate DVD rights holder,” said Customs acting national manager for trade policy, John Potter. "Illegitimate importers who attempt to flout Australian law will forfeit their goods and lose their money," Potter said. According to Customs, a recent OECD report into counterfeiting and piracy indicates that the international trade in this area could be worth up to US$200 billion in 2005 alone. The report states items that counterfeiters and pirates produce and distribute are often substandard and can even be dan...

Ten short films with themes as diverse as love and gang war have been sewn together into a new Bollywood movie, as a traditional industry experiments with new formats. "Dus Kahaniyaan" (Ten Stories) brings together 12 writers, six directors and some of the Hindi film industry's top actors such as Sanjay Dutt, Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi. The films are about, among other themes, marital blues, illicit relationships, bold love and Mumbai's underworld. "This is the first time an Indian movie is trying to be different in its approach to cinema," director and producer Sanjay Gupta told reporters on Wednesday. After decades of serving three-hour-long formulaic cinema, Bollywood filmmakers are being forced by a maturing audience to reconsider their style and content. One of the shorts, "Strangers in the Night", narrates how two strangers meet and become physically close, only to be left emotionally devastat...

The perfect face. A hunk of a hard bod and the attitude of the supermodel. Arjun Rampal makes for the perfect himbo. But surprise, surprise. This hunk’s more than just style’n’sinews. He is a thinker too. As picky about his roles suddenly as he’s been about the fit of his low-waisted jeans. Which is why he’s surprised us all by putting the ‘metrosexual’ avatar in the deep freeze and drawing on histrionic skills to do a serious role in Rituparno Ghosh’s ‘artistic thriller’ The Last Lear . And he’s flaunting more than just a hot body here. Find out for yourself... When a heroine sheds her glam avatar, she’s an ‘actor’. What happens when a hunk like you drops panache for the performance? Well! I’ve come a long way; and working with Rituparno has been a revelation. And it’s true; I am not ‘Arjun Rampal’ in the The Last Lear . I’ve never worked so intensely on any film before; with Ritu as a director, we had to learn and study the characters in depth. It’s not ...

The image of the angry young man helped Amitabh Bachchan usurp the throne of Super Star of Bollywood from Rajesh Khanna. However, things changed with the entry of the Khans who brought the mushy love story back into vogue. In the time of feel-good films and light-hearted comedies, the punch of a full-fledged action flick had been missing in Bollywood for some time. Not anymore. Hrithik Roshan made a comeback with the fightfilled Krrish , Shah Rukh Khan stars in Farhan Akhtar’s Don and next will be the much-awaited Dhoom II . Audiences can also look forward to seeing John Abraham, who made headlines with his action sequences in Dhoom , star in the action-packed Kabul Express . The list doesn’t end here. There are several action films on the anvil, slated for release next year. It would seem safe to say that this is a time when mushy romance movies can take a back seat to a more hard-hitting genre in Bollywood. Sham Kaushal, action director of Krrish, Don and Kabul Express , feels that...
