The 55th Annual Filmfare Awards ceremony will be held at the Yash Raj Studios in Mumbai on February 27, but the organisers have yet to decide who will host the prestigious event.

Last year Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan entertained the audiences with their rib-tickling one-liners, but Filmfare editor Jitesh Pillai is still uncertain about the hosts this year.

"Just hold your breath, wait and watch what's in store," said Pillai.

Organisers say this year they are not introducing any new award category.

"When we started, we had five categories of awards and now we have 37 categories in total. The growth has been remarkable. This year 111 movies are competing for the awards," Tarun Rai, CEO of Worldwide Media Pvt Ltd (a joint venture between the Times of India group and BBC Worldwide), said at a press conference on Wednesday.

Considered one of the most prestigious awards in Indian cinema, the awards function will be organised in association with pan-India mobile operator Idea Cellular.

The nominees for the awards will be chosen through audience poll. An equal weightage will be given to polling results as well as a specially appointed panel of judges.

This year, too, the ceremony will offer power-packed performances and a dose of suspense and excitement.

noreply@blogger.com (Gravity) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:39:00 +0000

This news may surprise you but it is partly true that Shahrukh Khan is married again and that too to a 20 yr old girl! Tillana Desai is a die-hard fan of King Khan. King Khan married her during the promotional event of his latest film, ‘My Name Is Khan’.

Dressed in a bridal outfit, the girl walked down to Shahrukh and narrated a story of how crazy she is about him. Impressed with her story, Shahrukh fulfilled the wish of the girl, he proposed her and slipped a ring on her finger that she had brought with her. It all happened at a five-star hotel in Ahmedabad in the witness of media and many fans of Shahrukh.

Confirms the source, "At his film’s event, SRK had to meet people with unusual love stories. Among the crowd, was 20-year-old Tillana Desai, who had come dressed in full bridal finery. When SRK asked her about her love story, she said she had been in love with a guy since she was seven but couldn’t marry him as he was already married.”

“When SRK asked her who the guy was, he was surprised to know that he was the man in question! She also said that she only uses the products that he endorses and refuses to buy anything else. The girl insisted that SRK should marry her. SRK used his million-dollar charm to overcome the awkwardness. The girl had even brought a ring with her. He went down on his knees and slipped the ring on her finger, saying that this is their rehearsal for the wedding.”

Moved by Shahrukh’s kind gesture, the girl invited him for a dinner to her house but he was too busy for the dinner.

noreply@blogger.com (Gravity) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:36:00 +0000

Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi seems to have taken a fancy to following star couple Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan. He did it yet again Thursday evening when he made an unexpected late entry at the premiere of “Rann where Aishwarya and Abhishek were present for the Amitabh Bachchan starrer.

Vivek, who was linked with Aishwarya earlier, arrived hastily at the venue half an hour after the premiere had begun. A source told us “It’s strange to see Vivek here. We don’t know if he has been invited here or has come over just because he is in the capital for an event.” Vivek was reportedly an uninvited entry at Hrithik Roshan’s birthday bash early this month at Shah Rukh Khan’s house Mannat in Mumbai, where the Bachchan couple was present.
He was also spotted chatting with Big B and his wife Jaya at a recent awards function where Aishwarya and Abhishek were noticed sitting at a far distance.

ISHQIYA movie review

noreply@blogger.com (Gravity) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 11:32:00 +0000

Get ready for ISHQIYA. It isn't the fluffy, candy floss, saccharine sweet story of lovers breaking into songs in mustard fields. In ISHQIYA, you just don't know what turn the story may take next. Not just the story, even the characters here are so impulsive and unpredictable.

You need to have a strong stomach to absorb ISHQIYA. It's high on drama, it's wild, it's real. But it's not dark, it's not sleazy, it's not crass. Set in Gorakhpur in North India, the film has a rustic feel, depicts characters that may make you uncomfortable and is laced with saucy lingo.

Two thieves, Khalujaan [Naseeruddin Shah] and Babban [Arshad Warsi], are on the run from their boss, Mushtaq. They seek refuge at a friend's house, but instead meet his widow, Krishna [Vidya Balan]. The time spent together draws the duo to her, Khalu with his tinted vision of old-fashioned love and Babban with his lustful eye. But the past catches up with all three!

Every actor in ISHQIYA delivers a sparkling performance! Naseeruddin Shah is superb as a romantic. Arshad packs in a bravo performance yet again. Post MUNNABHAI films, Arshad should be liked in this one the maximum. Vidya continues to surprise. It's a dynamic performance undoubtedly. PAA and ISHQIYA are two landmarks in her career.

On the whole, ISHQIYA is definitely worth a watch. The film has a riveting plot, great performances, soulful music, an absorbing story and skilful direction to make the viewer fall in ishq with it. It should appeal to the hardcore masses as also the multiplex junta.

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has taken a bold step which may very rare dare to take. He has acted as a peacemaker between the two warring actors Abhishek Bachchan and Vivek Oberoi.

With this motive, he invited Abhi, Ash and Vivek to his party at ‘Mannat’.

A source close to Vivek says, “Shah Rukh certainly did not want any of his guests to feel tense at his home. Besides, he had personally invited Abhishek, Aishwarya, Vivek and many others to Mannat, when they met at Hrithik’s birthday party in Juhu.”

Shah Rukh Khan helped the two gentlemen to erase the discomfort and created a lighter and friendly atmosphere between the two. The two actors after a while seemed comfortable at each other’s company.

Few days back, Vivek was also seen bridging the gap between him and the Bachchans by talking to Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan. The three got along very well.
