Aamir gets one better than Shahrukh

They are the two engines of Bollywood driving the industry out of a slump. If Shahrukh with his Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi fueled in new josh to the industry Aamir's Ghajini has given the distributors tremendous confidence in their business. Comparisons between Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Ghajini was quite apparent and this time around Aamir has got one better that Shahrukh.

Shahrukh's fans would argue that its too early to compare Rab Ne.. to Ghajini but this time around even their hero acknowledged Aamir's performance which was flawless. Going by statistics Ghajini received a far better opening than Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi had received. The Aditya Chopra movie has done brisk business in the last two weeks but surely it does not match Shahrukh's performance in Chak De India or Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

Aamir Khan delivered the performance of a lifetime in Ghajini. If Taare Zameen Par showed Aamir's technical understanding of cinema Ghajini is a testimony of his unmatchable acting skills. If Taare Zameen Par showed his courage to venture into unknown territories, Ghajini proved he has not lost his foothold on the mainstream masala movies.

The effort that Aamir Khan put in behind this movie has finally paid off. Be it the stunning physique with eight pack abs that he made or the scarred hairstyle he sported, Aamir left no room for error. A startling fact about Aamir's movies are that even the die hard fans of his rival stars do not like to miss his movies......Read More

Rahul Mahajan to tie knot with Monica Bedi

Rahul Mahajan may have been thrown out of the reality show Bigg Boss but the reality show seems to have earned him his second soul mate in Monica Bedi. If sources close to the couple are to be believed they are planning to tie the knot soon. It was initially thought to be a one sided affair but now it seems cupid has also stricken Monica.

Monica revealed that she knows Rahul's feeling for her are genuine and he wants to marry her. But before such a commitment she would like to talk to him off the cameras which was not possible during their stay at the Bigg Boss house. She added that although she trusted Rahul she was skeptical about marriage as she had committed a grave mistake in the past.

It is interesting as this will be the second marriage for both of them. Rahul was married to Shweta Singh after 13 years of friendship but the marriage ended in a bitter divorce after Shweta alleged physical torture. On the other hand Monica had tied knot with underworld don Abu Salem and had even stayed with him in Gulf with a fake name.......Read More

Bigg Boss inmates make a house break

Bigg Boss and controversy go hand in hand and just before the Grand Finale all the inmates have broken the most important rule. Raja Chaudhary, Rahul Mahajan, Zulfi Sayed and Ashutosh Kaushik jumped the walls of the Bigg Boss house in Lonavla and were caught red handed. The reason given by them was enough to make a normal man go insane. They said they were tired of home cooked food and wanted to taste food outside.

With all the contestants of the fairer sex gone and Zulfi refusing to cook they seemed to have no choice. It was surprising to see them try to scale the wall knowing the entire house is under the surveillance of cameras. As soon as they jumped the walls the security guards present got into action and they were asked to get in the premises of the Bigg Boss house.....Read More

Aamir not happy with Ghajini looks

He is known as the perfectionist actor in Bollywood and with his stunning look in the movie Ghajini he has again proved he is worth the tag. Shahrukh Khan had done it in Om Shanti Om and just when six pack abs was becoming a forgotten term Aamir has induced some fresh air to it. While the world is going gaga about his looks Aamir does not seem to be too happy with his looks.

Aamir Khan suffers from the 'never happy' syndrome like all perfectionists who think they could have done better. In his latest blog amirkhan.com he says "So what do y''all think of the first look of Ghajini? Actually I could have gotten into better shape. Had to stop training during the release of TZP, so, lost a month and a half there. But it was impossible for me to train through that period. And I was also a little careless with my diet around that time. Grrr. How I wish I had found the mental strength to keep at it."

Kyunki it had to end someday

The numerous fight over the TV remote and delay in dinner is soon going to be a thing of the past as Ekta Kapoor's never ending saas bahu saga Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi draws curtains. It is a huge relief for majority of the television audience as Viranis will not be a reason for quarrels at home. From bus stops to the bedrooms there will not be talks of Tulsi and Mihir. With Kyunki Ekta Kapoor's 'K' trilogy of Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki and Kasautii Zindagii Kay finally comes to an end.

Kyunki had a fairytale run in the beginning and made stars out of ordinary actor like Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay. It even outstripped Kaun Banega Crorepati to become the most popular television show. The audience were so much into the show that Mihir had to be made alive even after his death. The Indian Television Awards became a one serial show and the woman folk around the country put everything in the backseat for that half an hour.......Read More

Star Plus to take Kyunki Saas...off air

Balaji Telefilms and Star India Pvt Ltd are again at loggerheads after Star decided to terminate the telecast of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi from Nov 10. Balaji which produces the serial argues it as breach of contract by Star. Yeh Rishtha Kya Kehlata Hai is all set to step into time slot of one of the most successful Television shows ever.

Star had recently scrapped its exclusive content deal with Balaji and even sold back 26% equity to Ekta Kapoor. Another major area of concern for Balaji Teleflims is the drastic falling of its share price at the stock market after Star had scrapped the deal. Balaji which produces six serials for Star Plus currently is not denying legal actions against the Rupert Murdoch owned group.....Read More

Is Amitabh overworking himself?

As the 'Superstar of the Millennium' Amitabh Bachchan lies in the hospital and fans pray for his speedy recovery all across the country a question arises has Big B overworked himself? There may be no correct answer to this question but the fact remains like all human beings our beloved Big B is also showing signs of ageing.

Over the last decade the legendary actor has been as busy as he was ever in his illustrious career. In the last ten years he has worked in a whopping 67 movies which have also included narration and guest appearance. In the same period his nearest competitors Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan have been associated with 46 and 42 projects respectively. Add to this the two seasons of Television show Kaun Banega Cropepati and numerous ad campaigns that he has been a part of. All this has definitely taken a toll on Amitabh's body.

All his contemporary actors like Shatrughan Sinha, Vinod Khanna and Rajesh Khanna have faded away into Bollywood's pages of history but Big B resists to bow down. Be it in Mohabbatein with Shahrukh Khan or in Baghban with Salman Khan he has always given the younger generation a run for their money. Perhaps it is no coincidence that the tinsel town's hottest babe Mallika Sherawat finds Amitabh Bachchan the hottest among all the actors in the industry......Read More

Abhishek still no match for Hrithik

Ever since Abhishek Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan made their debut in 2000 they have regularly been compared and pitted against each other. Having Bollywood genes in their blood both have had a similar childhood and grew up around the silver screen. But when it comes to acting and stardom Hrithik has always been miles ahead of Abhishek.

Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai and Refugee released in the same year. Roshan Jr announced his arrival in style while Abhishek had a tough time stepping into his father's shoes. When the two stars came together on screen for first time in Dhoom 2 also featuring Aishwarya it was Hrithik's show once again and he seemed to be too heavy for Abhishek. Critics would argue that Hrithik was given a better role but a good actor will make his presence felt even in a cameo. Isn't Sholay more remembered for Amjad Khan than for Amitabh and Dharmendra.

Then came the biggest battle between the two stars when Abhishek decided to Drona to challenge Hrithik who had become Bollywood's most famous superhero after his breathtaking performance in Krrish. This time too sadly Junior B failed to put up a show against his childhood friend Duggu. Not only the film fail to achieve a good opening across the country, it is now even been compared to Tashan another disaster of the year.......Read More

Aamir Khan: India's Oscar Man

There is a saying 'history repeats itself' and for Aamir Khan history has indeed repeated itself. In 2002 his first home production Lagaan was nominated for the 74th Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Language Film category before loosing out narrowly to No Man's Land. His Rang De Basanti was also nominated for the prestigious awards. This time around his directorial debut Taare Zameen Par is again going to the Oscars.

The entire nation has set its eyes on the Academy Awards as ever since Taare Zameen Par released. It was instantly touted to be a Oscar material. In the recent years perhaps no other Indian movie has had such a consensus while being nominated for the prestigious awards. The movie which portrays the story of a dyslexic kid played by Darsheel Safary is perhaps India's best entry into the Oscars.....Read More

Sardars in Bollywood movies

They were once used to add a comic angle to the scripts but now it seems scripts are being written around them. Yes we are talking about our very own Sardars. Portraying a Sardar seems to have become the coolest thing in the industry right now. After Akshay Kumar rocked the nation with Singh Is Kinng we will soon see Salman Khan playing a Sardar in Heroes. Saif Ali Khan is the latest to join the club and will be seen in a turban in his home production directed by Imtiaz Ali.

The reason behind this paradigm shift seems to be the international markets which presently contribute a huge share of the gross revenue of the movies। Today scripting of the movies is done keeping in mind a wider and plural audience. The substantial presence of the Punjabis across the globe is another factor contributing to this. रीड मोरे
