Even as Bollywood actor Aamir Khan touched a new low, with his street-level provocation against Shahrukh Khan, SRK yet again refused to fall into the controversy and chose to ignore Aamir's malicious 'dog' remarks on his blog. Shah Rukh said, "Earlier people used to name their children after famous people. Somebody naming a dog after a known person is a new beginning in that direction. I don't have a copyright over this name if used non-commercially."

Aamir Khan has been under fire from millions of Bollywood fans for his unwanted remarks against Shahrukh Khan, who never tried to join issues with him. It is believed that Aamir has resorted to cheap publicity gimmick to promote his forthcoming film 'Ghazni'.

Sholay Vs Titanic: And the Winner is.....

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 08:09:00 +0000

When it comes to competition between Hollywood and Bollwyood, Hollywood movies hold the advantage in terms of quality, theme and motion. However, Bollywood movies get an edge in providing fun, entertainment and solid melo drama. When it comes to representation, Sholay leads the pack in Bollywood, while Titanic stands tall for Hollywood.

Let's discuss what exactly Sholay and Titanic give to their viewers and why are they considered as the best in their respective industries. It's for the readers to decide which one is the better of the two.

SHOLAY (1975)

Sholay is regarded as the most analyzed movie in Indian cinema. It's an evergreen classic. No matter how many times it is played on Theatres or Television Channels, people never feel tired of watching it. It ran full house for five consecutive years at Mumbai's Minerva theatre. Incredible, but true. Its star cast included Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar, Hema Malini, Jaya Bhaduri (now Bachchan) and Amjad Khan.

The film presents the example of perceptive filmmaking. It has everything: action, emotion, drama, love and entertainment. The story line is simple, yet powerful to move the viewers. A policeman (Thankur), who always love to play with danger, succeeds nabbing a dreaded dacoit, Gabbar Singh. But the dacoit took revenge by killing Thakur's family members and chopping off his both arms. Thakur hires the services of two small-time thieves Veeru and Jai and rest is history.

The film has unforgettable dialogues that are still recited by the movie-lovers in India. Be it acting, music or picturisation, Sholay does not disappoint its viewers. Some of the characters like Gabbar Singh, Basanti, Thakur and Jai-Veeru became legends in Indian Cinema. These names are now a part of Indian household. sholay is unique cannot be recreated. This is proved when a very talented director Ram Gopal Verma produced its remake "RGV's Aag" recently. Not surprisingly, it turned out to be the biggest flop of the year. As long as Indian Cinema is there, Sholay will remain its heart and soul.

TITANIC (1997)

The only Hollywood movie that took the Bollywood by storm is "Titanic". Several movies came and went before and after Titanic. But none of them generated such passion, emotion and sense of love that Titanic did.

Titanic is a 1997 American romantic drama about the sinking of the RMS Titanic. Its star cast included Kate Winslet and Leonardo Di Caprio. They formed the on-screen pair Rose and Jack. The film is based on a true story of the ill-fated 1912 voyage of the ship. The film proved to be a critical and commercial success. It won 11 Academy Awards and generated the highest revenue in Hollywood History - US$1.8 billion.

The love story begins inside ship when Jack proposes Rose, but she declined it because of her engagement obligations. However, later she changed her mind to fall for Jack in a secret romance. Their love gained momentum and they decided the leave the ship. However, fortune had something else for them in store. The ship collided with an iceberg and it was sinking. In between, there was some action, as Rose's finance got to know about their affair. The ship finally sank with thousands of people meeting death. Rose survives, but Jack could not. But their love never dies. It lives forever.

Titanic turned out to be great success worldwide. It swept all the awards. Among all, it received 11 Oscar Academy Awards, The Golden Globe and many more. It was dubbed into all major languages and was screened all over the world. Surprisingly, it received overwhelming response everywhere. No other movie has ever achieved such distinction.

Final Word:

Both Sholay and Titanic have their importance in respective industries. More importantly, while Titanic received accolade across the globe, Sholay did extremely well in countries like UK, Japan, Russia and many others. It's difficult to say which one is better between the two.

While comparing, we must keep in mind that Sholay was made in 1975. At that time, technology was not that much advanced and craze for movies was very low. Titanic holds the advantage because it was released in the modern era. When it comes to comparison between the two, it should be left to the public to decide the Numer Uno.

Bollywood Stars fall for Pets

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 04:45:00 +0000

It's really heartening to see Bollywood going pet friendly. Starlets like Urmila Matondkar, Sushmita Sen and Rani Mukherjee have shown their interest in pets. Sushmita, who always roar to make a dent in traditional male bastion, find dogs more reliable than men. She may not have a true man in her life, but she has at least 6 loyal dogs of various breeds.

Rani and Urmila treat their dogs as their own children. These strong, power babes believe that it's easy to handle the pets than men. In today's modern world, the female celebrities look for a companion who will remain loyal and dedicated to them. Since they hardly find men trustworthy, they turn towards pets as their companions and bring them us as their own children.

It's not that just the young celebrities are obsessed about their pets. Veteran actress Raakhee treats Pari as her second daughter. She is just crazy about her. Interestingly, her estranged husband Gulzaar also spend most of the time with his pet dog Pali.

The 10 Movies that rock the Bollywood in 2007

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 03:20:00 +0000

Bollywood movies always provide a mixture of fun, action, music and emotion. People in the Western World always wonder how the Bollywood movie makers mix up things so easily. Although Bollywood produces movies in the range of 200 - 300 per year, only a few movies manage to get to the top. This article lists the 10 Best Bollywood Blockbusters that have boosted the Box Office to a great extent.

You may not find some of your favorite movies in this list and I apologize for that. It's true that there are at least 20-odd movies that did well on the box office. However, we had to list the 10 best ones based on popularity, wholesome entertainment, industry reviews and box office reports. Here they go:

1. Guru: Guru is the biggest blockbuster of the year. The movie also set the stage for the biggest celebrity wedding of the year between Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. Critics admit that it is indeed a masterpiece. Be it the flawless direction of Mani Ratnam or the scintillating performance of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwahrya Rai, the film has everything for all kind of viewers. Music in the film is amazing and some of the songs have become big hits.

If you have watched Abhiskek before, you will admit that he exceeded all the expectations with his spectacular performance in Guru. No one could have done better than him on this role. Other stars like Mithun Chakraborty, Madhavan and Vidya Balan did proper justice to their respective jobs. This is a movie you will never forget.

2. Chak De India: A bunch of teenager girls with no acting experience under the leadership of Bollywood Superstar Shahrukh Khan took the entire nation by storm. Yes, we are talking about Chak De India. It's strange to see a movie based on Hockey doing great in a cricket crazy nation. The movie does not talk about fun and entertainment. It's about skill and substance.

The movie shows how a discarded hockey captain of India got a bunch of young girls and led them to win the Women's Hockey World Cup in style. Skill, emotion, patience, determination and challenge are the essence of this movie. It has everything to be nominated to Oscar. And who knows, India may not come back empty-handed this time.

3. Namaste London: After Aankhen and Waqt, director Vipul Shah and Actor Akshay Kumar have come up with another big hit - Namastey London. The biggest plus point the director enjoyed was the story line. It was a strong story based on the integration of Indian and Western culture. The film talks about Indians, Pakistanis and British people. It also evokes patriotism and emotion. The movie successfully generates the "feel good" factor, which makes it different among all.

4. Ta Ra Rum Pum: Motor Racing in India is still a dream despite the success of Narain Karthikeyan and Karan Chandok on the global arena. However, Saif Ali Khan, as a F1 driver, did a grea job to make Ta Ra Rum Pum a big hit on the box office. Sports, thrill, music, and emotion everything is there. And above all, it's a film for family and children too.

Personalization of the script makes Ta Ra Rum Pum different from others. The film revolves around the journey of a person from pit-crew to a successful FI driver. This is an amazing movie - worth watching for everyone.

5. Partner: Love Guru Speaks! Yes, this is the theme around which the movie Partner is built. However, you will get more than what you expect when you watch it. Partner is the biggest comedy hit of the year so far. Govinda and Salman Khan are at their best when it comes to comedy. And, together they form a great "partnership".

Salman as Love Guru and Govinda as a buffoonish did a great job and make people crazy with their performance. Romance, comedy, love and emotion, everything is there in Partner.

6. Bheja Fry: Comedy in a different style - is Bheja Fry. It defies the traditional bollywood comedy sequences, yet goes straight into the heart of people. Debutant director Sagar Ballary did a credible job with a bunch of talented actors like Rajat Kapoor, Vinay Pathak and Sarika. Vinay Pathak is at his best when it comes to the comedy scenes that create a difference. Storyline is novel, creative and simple. No dancing sequels, no action or love triangle. Yet, it proves to be the best among all. Although Bheja Fry looks more like a stage play, it is indeed a crowd-puller movie.

7. Gandhi, My Father: Gandhi, My Father, is an unexpected entry to the top ten movies this year. Before it release, the movie was dubbed as an Art Film and was expected to do well among selected viewers. However, it turned out to be big hit, as people adopted and admired this movie. The success of Gandhi, My Father, came as a big relief for producer Anil Kapoor, who did his best to bring an unfolded story to the big screen.

This film portrays Gandhi’s personal and darker side of life and his relationship with his eldest son Harilal. It depicts the life of a man who is estranged between his public duty and his duty towards his family. It shows Harilal’s decline towards alcoholism and converting to Islam as a rebellion against his father. The storyline of this film basically revolves around the conflict between the aspirations and expectations of a son and principles of a father. Both Darshan Jariwala as Gandhi and Akshaye Khanna as Harilal have done proper justice their respective roles.

8. Shootout At Lokhandwala: This film has some of the big stars of Bollywood such as Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Vivek Oberoi, Arbaaz Khan, Tusshar Kapoor and Sunil Shetty. However, it will be remembered for one man - Vivek Oberai's coming-of-age performance. The story is about a young group of gangsters who defy their boss in Dubai when it comes to dignity and pride, but finally ran into the ATS (Anti-Terrorist Squad) and were mercilessly killed.

All the actors did their job very well. Director Apoorva Lakhia has given the right treatment the movie requires for its impact. Overall, Shootout At Lokhandwala leaves a significant impact on the viewers.

9. Aap Ka Suroor: Himesh Reshammiya's debut film Aap Ka Surror created a sensation in India. The journey of Himesh from a TV Producer to a Music Composer was long. However, he took little time to hit the Big Screen. Nobody has a doubt on his singing skills. However, people are curious to know about his acting skills. Himesh is not a Star, but his performance in Aap Ka Suroor is definitely laudable.

There is nothing new in the story. This is the same story we have watched hundred times in Bollywood movies. But it is presented beautifully and Himesh did a fair job with his limited acting skills. The movie became a hit, not for his acting skills, but for the reputation he enjoyed among the masses for his singing quality.

10. Heyy Babby: This is the latest Bollywood release, yet already became a hit. It's the debut movie of Sajid Khan as a director and he came up with his best. "Heyy Babyy", which features Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan, Ritiesh Deshmukh and Vidya Balan had a huge opening on the box office in the first week itself.

Three men with different characteristics ran into a girl Vidya Balan, who wanted to avenge the betrayl she had from numerous guys. And, she really made them dance on their toes. A great movie with beautiful comedy sequences. It's worth wathcing with friends.

Katrina meets Salman in Jodhpur Jail

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 14:55:00 +0000

Salman gets a breather in Central Jail in Jodhpur, when his girlfriend Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif and other members of his family met him on Sunday.

Policeman Suspended for giving "Jadoo Ki Jhappi" to Sanjay Dutt

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 08:24:00 +0000

Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil ordered inquiry into the policemen at Yerawada Jail socializing with Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt on his release from the prison on August 23. Media footage showed Sanjay Dutt hugging a Pune police jawan and shaking hands with 6 others. The policemen were deployed outside the jail to ensure security.

The policeman who hugged Sanjay Dutt, has been suspended and a departmental inquiry has been ordered against all those involved in this incident. The police code of conduct forbids the police personnel to socialise with convicts. The government wants to know whether the jawans took the initiative of socializing with the actor, or it was the actor who took the initiative.

Two Celebrity Convictions that sink the Bollywood

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sat, 25 Aug 2007 04:13:00 +0000

Within a month, the Bollywood witnessed two celebrity convictions and is all set to lose crores of Rupees if these celebrities go to jail. First came the news that Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt was sentenced to six years in prison for purchasing illegal weapons from the accused in the Mumbai Bomb Blast case in 1993. Although he got an interim bail from the Supreme Court, he will be back in prison soon.

Just when Bollywood was recovering from the shock of Sanjay Dutt's conviction, another conviction rattled it. This time it was "Bollywood badboy" Salman Khan. Salman Khan was sentenced to five years in prison by a lower court in a Black Buck hunting case. He had filed an appeal against the verdict in a higher court. However, the higher court upheld the lower court verdict, which mean Salman will have to go to jail for five years.

Sanjay Dutt’s conviction would lead to a loss of Rs 90-100 crore for producers whose films are under production. The films include Kidnap, Mr Fraud and Alibaug. If the conviction takes place, the filmmakers will either shelve their films or replace Dutt with other actors. That would result in a huge loss for the filmmakers. also, it may not be possible for them to replace Dutt with other actors. If the films are shelved, the loss and its impact would be unbearable.

The situation is no different in case of Salman Khan. Salman's conviction will result in a Rs. 70 - 80 crore loss for the Bollywood. Since Salman's recent release "Partner" has been a huge success, the Bollywood heavily relied on him for other big projects. His projects under production include Rumi Jaffery's ''God Tussi Great Ho'', Boney Kapoor's untitled venture, Atul Agnihotri's ''Hello'', ''Mera Bharat Mahan'', Subhash Ghai's ''Yuvraaj'' and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's ''Sawariya''. If Salman goes to jail, the loss for the Bollywood could be much more than expected.

Certainly, it's not a great time for the Bollywood. With some big hits like "Partner" and Chak De", Bollywood was expected to go for a boom in the later half of 2007. However, the conviction of Sanjay Dutt and Salman dampened the mood and spirit. Now filmmakers and the entire Bollywood fraternity are keeping their fingers crossed to see what course the law will take in the coming days.

Hotpari is back?

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 07:30:00 +0000

It seems that some people are playing hide and seek game with the viewers using the websites http://www.hotpari.com/ and http://www.damesndesires.com/. If the owners of those sites are already behind the bars, who are those people who activated those sites a few days back? The sites were banned following the busting of the sex rackets involving Bollywood actresses and the owners of these websites. However, to the utter surprise of the viewers, the sites staged a comeback just after 15/20 days and were clearly visible to all.

However, now the sites are completely banned and cannot be opened. That may be a huge relief for thousands of people who condemn such sex rackets involving high profile starlets. It is expected that the cyber cell of the police department will take necessary steps to prevent those websites from showing up again on the web and also act against such websites that operate under the guise of informative channels.

Rakhi Demands Costume Payment

noreply@blogger.com (sindhu nair) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 11:10:00 +0000

Rakhi Sawant as usual created another drama on the sets of her forthcoming movie Buddha Mar Gaya, this time for costumes. It is said that in this movie she wore her own costumes rather than those selected by the film crew. The reason for that what Rakhi gave was that those costumes were ill-fitting and too tight for her – in short she did not like them hence preferred to wear her own ones. This is not all, the main issue right now is that she is demanding to be paid for those costumes from the producer.

But Rahul Rawail had a different story to tell. This is what he has to say “obviously, we had a problem as we had already structured a look for her in the film. Rakhi is quite erratic. She said that she had tried the costumes but didn’t like them. In fact, she said that they were very tight. But my dress assistant came and told me that she had never tried any of them in the first place. In fact, she came and told me that she loved the costumes. I guess she has amnesia as she forgot that she was cribbing about the same costume a day prior to it.”

It seems that Rakhi has made it a custom that wherever she goes drama undoubtedly follows!!!

Vivek says SORRY, Salman did not Forgive

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 07:06:00 +0000

The 10th Rajiv Gandhi Awards function at the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre, NCPA, witnessed a dramatic situation with Vivek Oberai offering a public apology to Salman Khan at the end of a dance program. On his way out after a dance performance with Koena Mitra, Vivek stopped before Salman, put his hands together and bowed before him. Vivek grabbed his own ears and bowed and uttered the word 'Bhai', but Salman turned away and shook his head, a complete snub to Vivek's apology.

Even Shilpa Shetty, who was seated next to Salman, requested him to forgive Vivek, but Salman did not relent and preferred to ignore him. Salman and Shilpa Shetty were honored for excellence in cinema and entertainment.
