Moreover, even the stars who would normally stay put in Mumbai on Dec 31 are headed to exotic locales.
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are on their way for a chilled out vacation in the Swiss Alps. Hope there are no bhel puri restaurants there to give Saif the stomach cramps. Akshay Kumar is already on a holiday with wife Twinkle Khanna, son Aarav and Dimple Kapadia and his mom Aruna. For them, the celebrations began on Dec 29 with Twinkle’s birthday and will continue till the January 1. Shilpa Shetty is on a vacation with her beau Raj Kundra in Spain.

Katrina Kaif has been in London for the Christmas reunion with her family and is expected to join Salman on 31st evening. Malaika Arora would be performing on stage at a hotel in Singapore, while Celina Jaitley will perform at the New Year bash at City Pavilion in London. Arjun Rampal, Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani and the rest of Rock On gang is headed to Dubai. They initially planned an outing in Goa but changed the plan after the government canceled outdoor parties. Shahrukh Khan is in Los Angeles to shoot Karan Johar’s film My Name Is Khan. He, Gauri and the kids are likely to fly to Uganda for a brief holiday. Kajol and Ajay Devgan have left for their farmhouse in Karjat. They are expected back on Jan 2 after which Kajol would fly to the US to shoot with SRK. John Abraham and Bipasha Basu will most likely head to Goa.

Britney dating Bollywood choreographer!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Got Bollywood) — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 05:22:00 +0000

London (ANI): Popstar Britney Spears is reportedly dating Bollywood dance instructor Sandip Soparrkar, who choreographed her raunchy 'Womanizer' video. Apparently, the 27-year-old flew to Jodhpur for a romantic three-day Christmas break with Sandip who is a pin-up in his native India.
The couple has been dating for three weeks. The Mirror has learnt that the couple even exchanged homemade pressies under the tree. A source said: "It's early days but their romance is going from strength to strength. Britney and Sandip tried to keep their reunion in India hush-hush as they're determined to have a relationship just like any other couple.
"Sandip is very down to earth and keeps Britney grounded. He's also quite spiritual and sensitive, which is a side of him she adores. For Christmas, Sandip or Sandy as Britney calls him presented her with a traditional Indian sari. She wore it during a candlelit dinner. The pair were whispering and giggling all night. Sandy ordered local delicacies including chicken tikka and a cottage cheese curry. Britney was nicking the dough balls from his plate. It was really cute."Britney, who met Sandip at a party thrown by Madonna earlier this year, is spending the New Year back in Los Angeles.

Akshay Kumar Gifts Twinkle a Bentley Car

noreply@blogger.com (Got Bollywood) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 16:31:00 +0000

Akshay Kumar is a loving husband, so what if he charges the poor producers 9 crores for a mere dubbing job even when the world economy is down in the dumps. Look what nice things he does with all the money. He pays heavy income tax to the Indian government and keeps his wife happy… Thats perhaps the greatest achievement for any Indian man - because these two things are literally impossible to achieve for many Indian men.
He decided to gift her a lavish Bentley Car worth 3 crore to his wifey dear on her birthday on 29th December. Apparently he spent so much for her because he was extremely proud of her and wanted to give her the best of everything because he owes his success to her.
Apparently he handed the car keys to his wife before he flew off to Hong Kong for Christmas Show. Twinkle was overwhelmed with joy we heard.

Akshay you are truly a KING....

Aamir blogs about his tension

noreply@blogger.com (Got Bollywood) — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:59:00 +0000

A day just before the release of Ghajini, Aamir Khan went into great depression thinking about the future of his flick. In his blog entry, he wrote that he was suffering from prenatal depression and behaved like a zombie.

He writes, “The last 24 hours have been (the) most traumatic… I am emotionally totally drained just before any of my films release I go into a pendulum mode. One sec I feel very optimistic about the film and the next I’m sure no one’s going to like it. I lose my smile, my appetite (and) my sleep.”

“On the whole, I am listless and walk around like a zombie. VVC (Vidhu Vinod Chopra) accurately described it as prenatal depression. The film is about to be delivered and will be out of our systems so to speak. Then, it will have a life of its own which we have absolutely no control over.”

“It’s too tough making films. All the two years of planning, preparation, creative discussions, the struggle to shoot the film and the sleepless nights of post-production ultimately culminate in a three-hour experience in the darkness of a cinema hall.”

“(And) this time around it is a remake of a Tamil film, so I am especially anxious. ‘Ghajini’ was a huge success in the south and Surya (Sivakumar) had done an excellent job in the original. I hope that I have been able to do justice to the film.”

Well Ghajini’s 100% collections at the box-office must have surely vanished his depression.

Dostana

noreply@blogger.com (Got Bollywood) — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 20:48:00 +0000

It's all happening in the Beach Party Capitol of the world..Miami is the setting for Dharma Productions latest offering "Dostana" - serving a cocktail of all ingredients to do with Friendship, Fun, Frolic and that thing called Love but with a slight twist, there is a small case of pretending to be Gay!!

Ghajini - A Must Watch

noreply@blogger.com (Got Bollywood) — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 05:55:00 +0000

Ghajini is a powerful movie, sucking you into the violent and disturbing world of a man terribly wronged. It's a movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat from the start and is replete with violence, even after three cuts by the censor board. True, the violent scenes come and go, but it's not the violence per se that is disturbing but the way it is portrayed - with plenty of blood and gore. Despite this the movie has managed to win a U/A certificate.

That said let me say that Ghajini is a well-made film with brilliant music by A.R Rahman. Yes, it's a three-hour masala film and kind of in your face, but then that is what we look forward to in Bollywood don't we! The director, A. R. Murugadoss has done a decent job, even though the story of the film seems to have been lifted from Memento, a film by Christopher Nolan. And Aamir's Hindi version is a remake of the Tamil one, which was also directed by Murugadoss. Everything about this movie, from the cinematography (Ravi K. Chandran), Editing (Anthony) and Art Direction (Samir Chanda) is above average. The fight scenes are the best I have seen in a Hindi film.

He ably ropes in a couple of unwitting investors adds it with another interesting jape without an inkling that it'll blow on his face, to come up with the number.
Now will these riches double or get them into trouble…?
Wait to watch a rib-tickling, non-stop laughter riot to find for yourself. Add to this the comic presence & performances of Jhonny Lever & Rajpal Yadav.
Let's share a little secret here: Rajpal is one of the investor. And the poor man has borrowed money from a Don. And the Don's totla played by the versatile, Sharad Saxena.
Bipasha Basu & Rimi Sen complete the ensemble cast.

2008's Top Bollywood Hits

noreply@blogger.com (Got Bollywood) — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 02:36:00 +0000

This year we've seen some big banner releases like Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, Mere Baap Pehle Aap, Sarkar Raj, Bhoothnath, Tashan, U Me Aur Hum, Krazzy 4, Jodhaa Akbar, Jannat and Race. Unfortunately, only a handful have been successful at the box office. We take a look at the biggest hits of 2008, so far.

Race Trade analysts unanimously agree that Abbas-Mustan's Race was the top grosser of the year so far. There were a lot of things going for it. Race was a good thriller, with a lot of action and twist; the film starred stunning actresses like Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu and Sameera Reddy; and it had some of Pritam's best music. "It has been a very poor beginning for the year, as the industry has been slumping," Taran Adarsh, trade analyst, says. "The industry is in a critical condition. We have had a quantum of releases but unfortunately, most of them were flops. There were few hits." "The industry seems to have lost direction," Vinod Mirani, rediff.com's trade analyst tells us. "Creativity is nil. Most films are remakes of foreign movies and badly adapted. Local distributors, who dared to invest, lost money even if the producer did not."

Jannat Emraan Hashmi's Jannat came second on the hit list. Audiences seemed to love his boy-next-door appeal in the film. Besides, the film had a gripping second half, and a good climax. Pritam scored big on the music once again. "Only two films sustained: Race and Jannat," Mirani says. "Krazzy 4 did well too, despite having average content. They were feel-good, paisa vasool films." Taran Adarsh generously included more films in his hit list. "Race, Jannat, Jodhaa Akbar, Sarkar Raj and U Me Aur Hum were the only movies that did well because of their content and tight script," he said.

Jodhaa Akbar Ashutosh Gowariker's historical love story, Jodhaa Akbar, could not cash in on its big star cast: Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. One of the main drawbacks was the film's duration. If it could have been shortened by 30 minutes, it may have seen a better fate at the box office. Yet, the film can be listed in the top five hits of the year, thanks to the poor run of movies at the box office this year. "The industry this year has been worst than the last," Taran says. "The rise in inflation has increased ticket prices, so people don't want to buy a ticket worth Rs 200, only to watch a flop film like Haal-E-Dil, Khushboo and Jimmy."

Sarkar Raj Ram Gopal Varma seemed to want to revive his sinking career with Sarkar Raj, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The film had a good story, great performances and excellent cinematography by Amit Roy. And that seemed to work for the audience. "This year, movies flopped because of bad scripts and content," Adarsh says. "The biggest flop would be Tashan, which broke the all-time low record of Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag. After that was Jimmy, the debut of Mithun Charkraborty's son Mimoh, and then, Kumar Mangat's daughter Amita Pathak's launch in Haal-E-Dil." Komal Nahta, trade analyst and editor of Film Information claims that there are many good films to watch out for this year like Pokhiri, Ghajini, Singh Is Kinng and Rab Ne Bana De Jodi.

Khuda Kay LiyeNo one expected Pakistani low-budget film, Khuda Kay Liye, to do well at the Indian box office. Even though the film did not feature big stars, it did quite well. So why have there been no big hits in 2008 yet? Are we missing the Khans on the marquee? "It's not because there was no Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan release." Adarsh explains. "If that was the case, we would not have had a hit in Jannat. Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman do not weave a magic wand. It is the film that works, the subject, music, treatment and emotions." "Movies like Aamir were critically acclaimed. But then, movies are made for masses, not for multiplex audience. And the masses want entertainment,' Komal Nahta concludes.

36 China Town

noreply@blogger.com (Got Bollywood) — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 22:59:00 +0000

36 China Town, with all its tinsel and glamor, is located in Goa, India, a major tourist attraction because of it's scenic beauty and casinos. Chief Inspector Karan of Goa Police is told that an anonymous phone call has been received informing that the owner of 36 China Town as well as the owner of Hollywood Casino, Sonia Chang, has been murdered. When the Police rush to the site, they do not find any dead body, but instead several hand and foot prints, including those of aspiring Bollywood actor, Raj Malhotra; a runaway daughter, Priya; an addictive gambler and hotel owner, Natwar, and his wife, Gracy; a visitor from Bombay, K.K., and his wife Ruby; a local playboy and hunk, Rocky. In addition to these, the Police also have to question Lobo, the butler, and his wife, who claim they were away at the time of the crime; and last but not the least Mr.Dixit, Mrs. Chang's lawyer. What Karan finds is that all of these suspects are lying about their whereabouts at the time of the victim's death, and all have sufficient motive to kill Sonia, and it will be up to him to discern the truth from the lies, and not only figure out the real killer but also find sufficient evidence linking him to this crime.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

noreply@blogger.com (Got Bollywood) — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 03:15:00 +0000

It is a Sweet, Enjoyable

Release Date : 12 December 2008

Aditya Chopra made his first movie, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge in 1995, his second, Mohabbatein in 2000, and now, he finally comes up with his third directorial venture Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. His forte remains romance, just like his father Yash Chopra. His latest outing at the box office has all of the same elements and he uses his favorite actor Shah Rukh Khan, in the hope of unleashing the same fever that his earlier two films had done. But the times have changed. Somehow, in the last two weeks it seems as if people have aged nothing that Chopra or SRK could have forseen. Seen in the light of all that has happened in our environment, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, fails to rekindle the magic of love. It remains a nice, sweet film, with its moments, but cannot hope to aspire to greatness, something that one was expecting. Even though SRK plays an older man married to a much younger woman, there is not much that has changed. He is given an alter ego called Raj, who, as if, by proxy, does everything that SRK does in a movie all those goofy expressions, the hamming, the tongue in cheek, over the top characterization. It still reeks of SRK as we want to know him in most of his screen avatars. Where the love angle is concerned, one feels, that the actual moment, when the realization of love hits the character of Taani, played by Anushka Sharma, just doesn't arise from the given context but seems forced artificially from outside. There are hardly any signs in the film itself of Taani ever feeling more than grateful to Surendra Sahni. The process when a gratitude change to love is hardly clear in the movie. That, one feels, fails to raise the level of the movie. What should have been the moment of the movie is squandered with Chopra resorting to divine interpretation. Besides that one flaw, the film moves very smoothly and captures the small life and loves of Surendra Sahni very well. In fact, SRK really seems to get into the mood of things and makes the nondescript Surendra Sahani of Amritsar, a most loveable and endearing character. The story of this oddly matched couple caught in this loveless, boring marriage takes a turn for the unexpected when the wife, Taani, decides to enroll for dancing lessons from a bunch of teachers who have arrived straight from Mumbai. In the hope of getting an opportunity to see his wife happy and joyful, Surendra decides to change his attire off goes the boring hairstyle, the moustache, and the regular trousers and shirt. With the help of his childhood buddy, played by Vinay Pathak, the boring Sahni becomes the loud, swaggering Raj. His intention mainly was to watch his wife dance. But he is mistaken for one of the students and is forced to join the class. To his delight, he finds himself paired off with none other Taani. Thereby begins his second life, where he begins to woo his wife, makes her laugh, dances with her, and eats paanipuri galore with her, all under the guise of Raj. The problem arises when Taani actually falls in love with Raj and agrees to run away with him. For Sahni, it is important that Taani loves him and not his alter ego Raj. He desists from telling her truth as he wants her to make her choice. With a little bit of help from the Almighty, Taani realizes that she actually does love Surendra and decides against running away with Raj. Of course, Surendra and his wife go on to win the dancing competition and live happily ever after.The film is dominated by SRK and he does not disappoint. He is quite loveable as the boring husband as well as the swaggering Raj. Vinay Pathak, as his friend, turns in another seamless performance. The scene when the two friends get drunk is quite well done. Both actors seem to share a good chemistry. Some of the other enduring moments in the film take place when Surendra takes his wife to the movies, as even the scene when she comes to his office to give him his lunch. All these scenes are very well done and full credit to the director and the actors for that. There has been much speculation about new find Anushka Sharma. She is no beauty but has been presented very well in the movie. There is a certain girlish charm about her which goes very well with her character. Actually, she is perfectly suited to play the role of Taani, and turns in a very natural performance. Being a Yash Raj banner film, the production values are excellent as always. The music is peppy and very catchy, specially the song 'Haule haule.' Even the other tracks in the film go well with situations in the movie. This feel good film from the house of the Chopras may just break their recent jinx at the box office. In totality, the film is enjoyable in most parts because of SRK. But it remains a small, sweet film, with no aspirations to greatness.
