Dil Toh Baccha Hai Jee - Movie Review

Dil Toh Baccha Hai Jee - Movie Review Director: Madhur Bhandarkar Music: Pritam Cast: Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shazahn Padamsee, Shruti Hassan, Shradha Das, Tisca Chopra The last time I had so much fun watching a movie about three guy friends was a decade ago with Dil Chahata Hai. This time it’s National Award winning director Madhur Bhandarkar’s Dil Toh Bacha Hai Jee. Well, there is nothing common between the two movies except for the fact that both the titles start with the word “Dil” and both the movies are about three male friends. Let me tell you the story very briefly. Naren (Ajay Devgn), a banker, is going through mid-life crisis in the middle of his impending divorce. He is head over heels in love with June (Shazahn Padamsee) who happens to be his junior at work and 17 years younger to him. As revealed by her that she was just 3 when he lost his “V” at 20.

Barbara, Kareena Kapoor - Hrithik’s fav co-stars

It’s only on Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan where celebrities open up about almost everything. The Hrithik Roshan and Susanne Roshan episode throws up some serious talks and fun moments. Susanne looked lovely in a short, breezy Nandita Mahtani dress and also gave bold answers to Karan. When he asked Susanne that what she would do if she wakes up as Gauri Khan, Susanne delivered a volley and said: “I would quickly go and give Shahrukh a kiss on his lips.” This one lady also seems to be a big fan of Shahrukh Khan and she is already a great friend to Gauri. It’s a common knowledge that the couple shares an amazing equation. The made-for-each-other couple is madly in love. Karan Johar also posed Sussanne a question about Hrithik’s favourite female co-stars. Pat came the reply from Sussanne: “Barbara Mori and Kareena Kapoor.”

Arbaaz Khan hug Shahrukh Khan

Right from Jan 1, 2011, Bollywood has been on a patch up spree… And the lavish Film-fare nominations bash has turned out to be the icing on the cake. All the stars turned up in their finest designer outfits and were at their best behavior, bonding with the other effortlessly. Must say our Bollywood stars are great actors. While Shahrukh Khan was seen hugging and greeting Salman Khan’s brother Arbaaz Khan, Arjun Rampal was seen accompanying Shahrukh Khan. Arbaaz Khan, besides giving Shahrukh a warm hug, also exchanged warm pleasantries with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. I guess it’s high time Shahrukh Khan and Salman should patch up…

Karan couldn’t decide whom he should call along side Madhuri. Now as per reports, it’s Sonkashi Sinha who will get lucky to be with Mads on Karan’s show.

Dhobi Ghat - Movie Review

Film : Dhobi Ghat Director : Kiran Rao Cast : Prateik, Monica Dogra, Kriti Malhotra and Aamir Khan Rating : *** The Movie Dhobi Ghat, like all Aamir Khan films, comes with a certain amount of marketing baggage attached to it. This time, Khan wants us to believe the film isn’t for ‘everyone’, but for those who enjoy world cinema, or arthouse cinema. To an extent, Khan may have a point. Dhobi Ghat isn’t your typical Hindi film. But then, lately we have been watching supposedly ‘different’ films being churned out by our filmmakers, every now and then. Think LSD, or Udaan. I don’t know if Dhobi Ghat is ‘arthouse’ or ‘non-mainstream’ or ‘world’ cinema. What I can tell you is this – it’s a damn good movie. Kiran Rao makes an assured debut as filmmaker and narrates a sensitive story bereft of hyperbole and drama. The plot isn’t of prime importance, the characters are. And Rao fleshes each of them out with astute understanding and makes them come alive in a way that you’re drawn to

Their body language clearly showed that they were nothing but a couple. Said an eye-witness, “They were together throughout the party. Their common friends, who usually hang out with them, hadn’t accompanied them this time.” Added the witness, “Akshay and Twinkle’s party rocked. The decoration, food, drinks and ambiance were outstanding.

This was the first time they let their hair

Bipasha and John Abraham Together ?

Bollywood Latest Buzz has it that the eight years long togetherness of Actor John Abraham and Bipasha Basu has come to a still. Though this is not the first time that there are talks about their relationship hitting a rough patch, but what supports these rumors is the fact that the duo has not been spotted together in public for an extremely long time. Not only have the couple been skipping the award functions, recently when Bipasha attended Hrithik Roshan’s birthday bash, John Abraham was conspicuously missing by her side. We strongly guess that the item are now bored of each other. Says a source, “They have known each other for over eight years now. But their differences seem to be increasing over time. There seems to be signs of boredom and things are heading for a dead end. Buzz doing the B-Town rounds is that the two don’t seem interested in each other.” Bipasha Basu however maintains that both of them are very busy with their respective works and so this is the case.

Kangana Rides Bullet Bike for Tanu Weds Manu

Bollywood Bold Actress Kangana Ranaut tried her hand in riding a heavy metal Bullet which other wise only a robust man can handle. This was during the shooting for Tanu Weds Manu, Kangana Ranaut plays a small town girl who defies every stereotype attached to girls – like they shouldn’t smoke, drink, or drive. The movie also stars Madhavan, Director Anand L Rai says in his statement: “Since Kangana Ranaut plays a small town wild girl, we wanted her to do all those things that a typical small town girl would not think of doing. So, riding a bike was something that would have helped strengthen Tanu’s character, so we bounced off the idea of Tanu riding a bike to Kangana and she was thrilled to do it.” However, the stunt turned out to be easier said than done because Kangana found out that she had to drive the heavy Bullet bike through narrow, crowded lanes, and that too with one person sitting pillion.
