Akshay-Twinkle in obscenity row


Akshay Kumar recently walked the ramp in the Lakme Fashion Week for designer Tarun Tahiliani. After doing his act he went to wife Twinkle Khanna and asked her to unbutton his jeans. This act brought in cheers and roar from the crowd but a certain section was shocked and considered it to be obscene and in bad taste. Little did Akki know that his unbuttoning act would turn into a major obscenity row.

A social worker Anil Nair has submitted a written complaint against the actor, his wife Twinkle, the designer and the organisers of the show to the Vakola police station. He has urged the police to book them for indecent, vulgar and obscene behaviour and submitted clipping and photographs of the event. He said they should be booked under section 292 related to sale of obscene objects and section 293, related with sale of obscene objects to young persons.....Read More

CC2C comparable only to Tashan

Akshay Kumar was till a few days ago called the King of Bollywood who knew the tricks of making Box Office hits despite poor reviews. But one week into the release of Chandni Chowk To China it has been proved that the throne still lies with the audience who can outrightly reject a nonsense which they did in the case of Chandni Chowk To China. Being the first major release of there year CC2C had huge expectation on its shoulder.

Coming after the success of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Ghajini the movie was expected to give the industry more to cheer about after it had starved for big hits last year. Not only did CC2C flop the movie is now being put in the league of Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, Drona but the ideal match has to be Yash Raj Films' Tashan.

Like Tashan Nikhil Advani's Chandni Chowk To China had everything a huge star cast, expensive sets, exotic locales, well shot stunt scenes and most importantly a tremendous marketing campaign. But Nikhil Advani and his team should not have forgotten the integral part of a movie the SCRIPT and the SCREENPLAY which were the only things missing in the movie!

The movie was perfect example of mindless direction on an apology of a script penned by Rajat Arora and Sirdhar Raghvan. The audience were left wondering where was the story? It seemed that stars were choreographed to perform stunts throughout the course of the movie. CC2C with its stunts and songs seemed more like a circus show that a movie.

The only difference with Tashan is that in CC2C even Akshay played a very ordinary part unlike Tashan where only his role was appreciated. Unlimited laughter coupled with funny stunts are becoming an Akshay Kumar trademark. But the problem is the audience tends to get bored with the same kind of roles served under different movie names......Read More

Akshay refuses to accept Screen Award

Akshay Kumar the undisputed king of Bollywood carries a grief with him of not winning the Best Actor Award ever in his life. But the actor surprised everyone with his humbleness and humility when he refused to accept the Most Popular Actor Award for his performance in Singh Is Kinng. Akshay's argued that Aamir Khan deserved it more for his performance in Ghajini.

Akshay said that Aamir had delivered an awesome performance in Ghajini and it is he who deserved the award. He requested Aamir to accept the award in his place. Akshay's gesture has earned him praises from all quarters in Bollywood and set the right tone for his latest movie Chandni Chowk To China.....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
