Ranbir's mom raises doubts on Deepika

It is a well known fact that Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor are struggling to keep up their relationship. Ranbir's mother Neetu Singh is not doing any good to their relationship either with her comments. Neetu was heard as saying Deepika was just another girlfriend in her son's life. The actress of the yesteryears also added that both of them were young and marriage was a long way to go and it was also not sure if they would stick to each other.

Neetu was initially not fond of Deepika and this had resulted in Deepika and Ranbir's first breakup before their Bollywood debuts. Neetu had a liking for Ranbir's Saawariya costar Sonam Kapoor who was known to them since childhood. Deepika's entry marked the end for Ranbir-Sonam friendship......Read More

Salman's father says he is married to Katrina

It is said that art imitates life. Have Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif tied the knot? Well if Salman's father Salim Khan is to be believed the two stars are now man and wife. In a recent article that appeared on the Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna, Salim claimed that that two have tied the knot and religion was not a big issue in the Khan family. He added that he himself had married Helen and son Arbaaz tied the knot with Malaika Arora.

The paper however apologized for the report saying that Salim has been misquoted and Salman and Katrina were still single. Katrina Kaif on her part had demanded a formal apology from the newspaper saying that she was still very much single. She said it was not a small issue and her concerns were more than just movie and endorsements.

It may be mentioned that Saamna was the first to report about Sanjay Dutt's marriage to Manyata when many others had rubbished that claim. What might have added fuel to fire was the fact that Salman had......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

If there is one actor in Bollywood who works hard on his look for each of his movies it has to be Aamir Khan.

Aamir who plays a student in the movie has shed around 8 kgs to look lean and young. He said it it was very challenging to put on weight for a movie and shed it for the next. Interestingly Aami's character in the movie draws inspiration from the real life of Ghajini director A R Murugadoss. Aamir added that being an actor, his body was his instrument and he had to change his appearance for new roles......Read More

Salman Khan and Aamir Khan seem to be getting closer by the day. Sallu has so much admiration for the perfectionist Khan that he wants to turn his student.
