Despite all the negativity and controversy surrounding the making of his Shahid Kapoor and Genelia D’Souza starrer, director Ken Ghosh has wrapped up principal shooting of his yet untitled film (no, it is not called Yahoo). Slated for early 2010, lets hope he recreates the magic of Ishq Vishq (2003). However, there’s more to Ken. …
After a drought of good movies, Bollywood is back with the Akshay Kumar starrer Kambakkht Ishq. The makers are leaving no movie fan undisturbed with their hype and hooplah. So what’s the film all about? A love story set between two people who hate each other – Hollywood stuntman Akshay and feminist super model/aspiring surgeon …
Bollywood hottie Kangna Ranaut is the newest entrant to the world of blogging (http://blog.realkangnaranaut.com) after Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgan, Shilpa Shetty and who have you? So what’s different? For one, she’s the hottest girl on the movie ramp. Two, she’s a victim of mischievous publicity… from rumours about her appearing nude in the sequel …
There’s news that Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle met Aamir Khan recently in Mumbai to persuade him to be part of his next film. Though, nothing is finalised just yet (we know how long it takes for a film from start to execution), one hopes Aamir takes to it like fish to water. After all, …
The stupendous success of Aamir Khan starrer Ghajini (it made Rs 200 crore worldwide at last count and is recognised as an all-time Bollywood blockbuster) is making me wonder if the film really deserved it. Here is why I think it isn’t really a great film: 1. It’s not an original story. The main premise …
I am eagerly looking forward to SRK’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi slated for December 12, 2008. Directed by the magical Aditya Chopra, his first outing as director in ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’ was mythical (a theatre in Mumbai is still playing one show of the film for the last ten years – an all-time …
The other day, I watched Ajay Devgan’s first directorial venture, U Me Aur Hum. Unlike many favourable media reports and the box office collections (“Average”), I was mighty disappointed. The first five minutes usually tell me if i would like the movie or pan it. This one didn’t tickle me at any point in its …
I am glad Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par made it as India’s official entry to the Oscars. And unlike his previous Oscar entry, Lagaan, this film isn’t that long and neither do the songs seem out of place. So he doesn’t have to remove the songs to appease the Oscar jury this time, because they …
When I was a kid, i used to look forward to the annual international children’s film festival. Today, children are the most ignored. Both by their parents and by the filmmakers. In this scenario, when Makdee, Hanuman (whose sequel Hanuman Returns is about to be released) and My Friend Ganesha become box office successes, it …
Just read a few posts of Aamir on his blog (http://www.aamirkhan.com/blog.htm) and came away happy with the feeling that here is a guy who tries to expell everything he holds closer to him and interacts with the others like any normal human being. I think this is important at a time when stardom is as …
Just yesterday, I watched Ajay Devgan’s first directorial venture, U Me Aur Hum. Unlike many favourable media reports and the box office collections (“Average”), I was mighty disappointed. The first five minutes usually tell me if i would like the movie or pan it. This one didn’t tickle me at any point in its two-and-a-half-hour …
