Hotel Rwanda and Paul Rusesabagina’s heart-warming tale
The other day I watched Hotel Rwanda and was blown away. By its message of racial tolerance. Courage under fire. Hoping against hope. Triumph of the human spirit. And the qualities that make it an Oscar-nominated film all the way. By Paul Rusesabagina, the hero of this film based on a true story. History can …
Ranbir-Katrina, boyfriend-girlfriend?
That Ranbir flirts with the young and old is well-known. From Aishwarya Rai to Madhuri Dixit, he has been a lover boy all the way. No wonder then that he should be linked with every actress he works with (and doesn’t). So much so that he becomes the envy of all men in Bollywood, including …
Kareena’s affairs with the Khans
On a recent episode of Karan Johar’s TV talk show, we caught Bebo (that’s Kareena) describing her love for all the Khans. Maybe it’s diplomacy, because she’s working with all the Khans. While her real affection is only for Saif. Now that’s playing it safe, isn’t it? Coming to facts. One of the highest-paid actresses …
Bollywood relationships become In-Your-Face
Meandering trends are always welcomed and devotionally followed at B-town. From the Kali-cut 1960’s to the flower-print ganjees. Summer’ 11 – Personal lives of these gorgeous divas are also projected to go with prevailing norms. The previous favourites were creation of mystery, suspicion and doubt to be in the news. Link-ups between Akshay Kumar-Shilpa Shetty, …
Arindam Chaudhuri and his failed media plans
Arindam Chaudhuri might be great as a business mentor at his institute and the many workshops he conducts. But when he tries his hand in expanding his reach to films and print media, he loses face. His first brush with Bollywood happened with Rok Sako To Rok Lo. And then came Mithya. Both failed commercially. …
Sachin needs a voice coach
Whenever Sachin Tendulkar appears in tv commercials, I wonder why he hasn’t been trained for it… The physical presence is fine, it’s the voice modulation that needs working. Then again, most celebrities need voice training for tv commercials. Genellia D’souza needs to discard her southie accent and get her Hindi right. And to think, she’s …
Nargis Fakhri is the new girl on the block
Ranbir Kapoor, the tomboy who gets all the girls who play his co-stars, has a new girl friend. American model Nargis Fakhri. With Czech and Pakistani genes, she’s the perfect mix of Europe and Asia. A true blue Eurasian. So what does she bring? Vivacity and figure-hugging oomph. But will she click with her first …
Shahid-Priyanka: An affair that never was?
Not sure if there was any love lost between Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. That Priyanka is a vivacious person is well-known. But what isn’t is if her vivaciousness is misconstrued as tacit approval of her co-star’s advances. It has happened with so many of her ex-es. And it happened again with Shahid Kapoor on …
Aamir Khan’s Kiran stutters on style
That Aamir Khan is a great actor is well-known. But his dressing sense leaves a lot to be desired. No, not in films. But at events where he is either the chief guest or the brand ambassador. But what is appalling is his wife’s dressing sense. Kiran Rao wears the most atrocious clothes. But worst …
