Watched Back to Back Blockbuster Movies, Krrish-3 and Ram-Leela:

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:43:00 -0800

Watched Back to Back Blockbuster Movies, Krrish-3 and Ram-Leela:

Day before Yesterday I have watched two Blockbuster Movie of this year.1st I have watched record breaking movie Krrish-3 and then after Ramleela. Both movies were totally different from each other, Krrish-3 first movie which counts as real superhero movie of India with competent enough to fight with Hollywood movies and Ram-leela a movie with full desi tarka with 10 sexy songs in the movie.

The role of Hrithick Roshan and Kangna Ranawat in the movie Krrish-3 was remarkable, the hard work of all the actors in movie Krrish-3 was visible and it’s encouraged audience a lot of time to put their hands together. This is first time the action in the movie was similar to Hollywood action movie. Awesome move I watched very late but happy to see the first full proof Hollywood movie.

Our second movie was on the gap of only one our- Ram-leela, It was also good movie, but very long. Our generation does not have so many patients to watch such a long movie. Acting wise every actor, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone have done magnificent. But the Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has shown his Leela in the movie and not able to edit the picture and make it shorter. A lot’s of songs without any meaning without any timing.

But friend with mine has liked more to Ram-Leela than Krrish-3. This is called every one test is different. In all I can say both movies were paisa wasul movies.

THE NEW IDEALS OF INDIAN POLITICS

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 6 Nov 2013 07:33:00 -0800

THE NEW IDEALS OF INDIAN POLITICS:

I am a social scientist by degree and by heart also. I believe in development not in the politics of development. There is difference between these two terms. Development means, a positive change in structure, processes, socio-economic aspect of people. It can be defined by some other way but the root of development is always similar to the above definition. And the politics of development is in one sense marketing of development. And I don’t think that marketing is not important but how you do it is very important. Business has at least some ethics on which they deal with but in the politics of development there is no place for ethics and ideals. The sales man of development has clear instruction to sale at any cost. Because there is no set standard in the market and no one regulates it. So you can sale a product at any cost by saying any specification, whether you had that specification or not, no one going to counter you because others are also following the same strategy. Here I would like to convey that political regulation in India is very poor.

I have gone to the some business aspect of politics but I must say that our politics have gone to the stage in which, we the common people have role like a spectator in the fixed match. In which we will cry, laugh and enjoy for the victory of our team but reality is, the victory and loss has been fixed by the playing teams before the match. Our emotions, sentiments, enjoyments, sadness and most importantly our thoughts have been controlled by some of these teams for their games and the game is fixed. We the common people don’t have option, the next channel has same story. You can understand how our political parties work.

You will be thinking that I am not coming on point, yeah that’s true because I was building the foundation for my thought “The new ideals of Indian politics”. It’s not an easy topic but I would like to reflect my views on it because it’s important for me and others, who think Indian politics, must have good ideals for development. Below I am talking about what the current new ideals is working in Indian politics.

The first new ideals of Indian politics are, “there is no permanent friendship in politics”. The statement is approved by our current prime minister (DR. Manmohan Singh) also. What they want to prove by this, that they are cheater and cheating is not a big offence so they will do it every time for their political benefit. Why they feel that the political friendship which they have done is not the friendship of only two persons. It has been approved by lakh of people and if lakh and crores of people have approved this friendship, how can you break it without asking from those crores of people for your personal political benefit, if, it is not cheating then what? And this ideal is very common in Indian politics and leaders. You have seen the current break up of BJP and JDU in Bihar from NDA, 17 year friendship has been approved more than 5 times by “Janta” and they have divorced without asking from that “Janta”. This is one example of new ideals of Indian politics a lot more is there. I don’t support this ideal and political parties must stop doing these types of cheap things.

The 2^nd new ideals of Indian politics are “Why don’t you remember what you have done at the time of your government”. This is one another statement you would have listened thousand times by different spokesperson of top political parties at different news channels. They never thought that by blaming the past government on any issue doesn't have any solution to the current problem. But they just pinpointed the past of his opposition and opposition becomes silent and the ruling party assumes that they have solved the problem. Is this the right solution and answer for the people? No... Not at all but what to do, who will tell them that look Mr. Ruling party you have not given any solution, you have just recalled my painful past which I never want to remember.

The 3^rd new ideals of Indian politics are “Secularism”. This word was so much used by our political party that many times, I have been confused and have gone to see the meaning of the word again and again. But every time it’s give me same meaning that –“the belief that religion should not be involved with the ordinary social and political activities of a country- Cambridge advanced learner dictionary”. And if I will go by this simple dictionary meaning, then no any party in this country can challenge that they are secular. All of them here or there have used religion for their political benefit and so that in India there is no secular party at all. Now it’s clear that no one is secular and trying to be secular for the politics of Vote. Now we also understand that the political party will not stop fighting on secularism, then why not we change our perspective and will give more importance to Nationalism. So why not we decide that we will only vote on nationalism and our political leader must have to talk about their nationalism rather than showing their fake secularism. The meaning of Nationalism is a belief, creed or political ideology that involves an individual identifying with, or becoming attached to, one’s Nation- Wikipedia

The Indian politics has many more new ideals, which is meaningless, worthless and no use for the people of India. Our politics and leaders are not able to give meaningful way to the new generation. As a new generation guy, I would like to see three simple ideals in our political leaders and in our politics, 1^st truthfulness towards people and system, 2^nd vision & plan for the future India and 3^rd his/her consideration of any individual of India as Indian. I think if our political representative will have only these three thing then that's enough for our country democracy and progress.

You know, today we are busy in working and career and forget to spent some time with families and friends even in festival seasons. I can't say that you don't take your family and relationship by heart but the situation around us is more likely for such conditions. Some important causes for such circumstances are our offices tight working schedule and job locations. We do job very far from our native place and it is one of the good reasons that we do not reach in festival seasons too.

How Indian will Celebrate Diwali?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 8 Oct 2012 03:06:00 -0700

This is really a common man question that how people will celebrate this diwali. Due to the recent hike of prices in regular eatable things people are very worried. Salary is constant but prices are going frying everyday at new height. Corruption is one of the biggest reason in India for all the reasons. This is not the new story but in current fiscal of Congress Government it has increased too very high distance.

Saving is about to nothing in the account of people that's why Govt. has likely to increase FDI in retail, Insurance and more other sectors. I just want to put one question that is there no way to improve financial situation in India other than increasing prices and FDI. Cutting saving of common people is not the solution to improve conditions in India.

How do we get out from these problems this Diwali is the question to work upon. People have to work more and try to source some other alternatives to earn money. I know it is not possible for all because a lot of people are working in industries and they are limited source earn money like either they can over time. Be connected with people whom you know because it helps a lot to know new things.

Celebrate or not you can still send Diwali SMS/wishes to people. Love is everything. The best Things in festival is to live with your family, relatives and friends. Closeness with family and relatives give confidence and strength to do new.

Pitch, not rash shots caused batting collapse: MS Dhoni

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 04:52:00 -0700

HAMBANTOTA: Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni blamed the unpredictable pitch for his team's abysmal batting performance in the lost second ODI against Sri Lanka, rejecting suggestions that rash shots led to the stunning collapse.
India were on Tuesday bowled out for 138 in 33.3 overs -- their fourth-lowest ODI total in the past five years -- by the host team, which chased down the target in under 20 overs. The five-mrrently tied 1-1.

Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi on Thursday arrived in Kokrajhar to review the situation in the riot-affected areas where curfew was relaxed for a few hours.

Scattered violence continued for the sixth day on Thursday in riot-torn lower Assam districts where one person was killed related stories

The curfew in Kokrajhar has been relaxed but not in the three other districts - Dhubri, Chirang and Bongaigaon.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is likely to visit Assam's restive Kokrajhar and Chirang districts on Saturday, officials said on Thursday.
When asked about Prime Minister's visit, officials in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said: "Yes. It is still being planned."
Curfew had been relaxed in Kokrajhar district till 12 noon, while in Chirang district it has been relaxed from 12 noon to 5pm.

Apple releases OS X Mountain Lion system upgrade

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 08:13:00 -0700

OS X Mountain Lion makes it easier to share material to social networks and also introduces a notification panel similar to that found on many smartphones.
The news was revealed in the company's third quarter earnings release.
Mac sales were 2% up on the year, but the results fell short of many analysts' forecasts.
The firm's shares dropped about 5% in after hours trading on Wall Street.
Mobile to Mac Apple first announced the latest update to its operating system in February. The update continues a trend to introduce features to its desktop and laptop families that have already been implemented on its iPad and iPhone mobile devices.
These include the ability to upload and synchronise material with its iCloud internet storage service; the introduction of the iMessage service allowing text message-like chats between the firm's computers and handsets; the ability to easily share material to Twitter; and an application to compare the user's video game scores against those of their friends.
The firm has also taken steps to aid its expansion in China including the adoption of Baidu as a search service built into its web browser's toolbar, and buttons to make it easy to share material to the Sina Weibo microblog, and the video sites Youku and Tudou.
However, the firm's decision to keep its Mac system distinct from iOS for mobile devices is set to be challenged by October's Windows 8 release by Microsoft.
Microsoft is offering users the chance to run the same system on both their tablets and desktop computers, making it easier to share software between them.
Windows 8 - and its touchscreen Metro apps - have been described by Microsoft as the biggest revision to its interface in over a decade. But one analyst said Mountain Lion was more of an incremental step forward.
"While there are a lots of new features this is not a major upgrade like the last version Lion was," said Brian Blau, research director at tech research firm Gartner.
"But Apple has also been improving its Office-like software and creation applications along the way, so maybe it didn't need such a big revision. And you have to bear in mind it is only charging $20 [£13.99 in UK] for the change."
By contrast Microsoft is charging $39.99 for a Windows 8 upgrade, while Linux-based systems, such as Ubuntu and Debian, can be downloaded for free.

Bollywood News Ranbir to croon 'Jumma Chumma'?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 03:15:00 -0700

The Ranbir Kapoor - Deepika Padukone starrer Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani has been making headlines for the past few days. Now yet again, the Dharma Productions film has come into the spotlight as reportedly the super-hit track 'Jumma Chumma De De' from Amitabh Bachchan starrer Hum will be recreated in the film. The original, which was a duet, composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, and sung by Kavita Krishnamurthy and Sudesh Bhosle featured Big B along with Kimi Katkar. The modern day version of this song will feature Ranbir and the actor will also be singing a few lines himself in the song. Apparently, the makers wanted naughty, perky rhythms and lines that would suit Ranbir, and hence settled for the colourful track. Though sources in Dharma refused to comment on the track's inclusion, Adarsh Gupta, Business Head, Saregama, has stated that the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani team has acquired the rights of the chartbuster. sources:http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/news/1511523/Ranbir-to-croon-%27Jumma-Chumma%27%3F

Assam burns, 32 dead, thousands homeless

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 09:15:00 -0700

Sectarian strife raged in interior areas of Assam's three districts on Tuesday even as security personnel shot dead four miscreants, taking the death toll in the region to 32.

A worried Chief Minister Tarun Gogoiurged Home Minister PChidambaram and Defence Minister AK Antony to rush more paramilitary forces and troops to end the savagery.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi called up Gogoi to know the latest situation. An estimated 40,000 people have fled their homes looking for safer areas.

Many who lost their dear and near ones wept openly.

A total of 28 people have died in the violence in both Kokrajhar and Chirangdistricts since July 19 as mobs of Bodos, who are tribals, and the Bengali-speaking Muslims set upon each other.

On Tuesday, security forces gunned down four miscreants in Kokrajhar, pushing the death toll in the two districts to 32, authorities said.

Shoot-at-sight orders and an indefinite curfew have been imposed in the worst-hit Kokrajhar district. In Chirang, a night curfew has been clamped from 6 pm to 6 am.

Miscreants continued to set fire to houses left vacant by thousands who have fled to safer areas. The fire brigade and security forces struggled to put down dozens of fires.

Inspector General of Police SN Singh said that 19 people had been killed inKokrajhar and nine in Chirang.

He said the situation in the region was tense, and added that additional security forces had arrived in the two districts. More forces were being sent, Singh said.

"Incidents of violence are taking place mainly in the interior areas of the districts. About 60 villages, mostly abandoned, were burnt by miscreants in the two districts," said another official.

The violence has also spread to Dhubri district bordering Bangladesh. Police opened blank fire there on Tuesday to contain unrest.

In Dhubri, curfew has been imposed in some "sensitive areas" includingGouripur, Golakganj, Bilasipara and Chapar.

The three districts - Kokrajhar, Chirang and Dhubri - share a contiguous landscape. While Dhubri is bounded by Bangladesh in the south, Kokrajharand Chirang border Bhutan.

More than 40,000 people have abandoned their homes and taken shelter in relief camps set up by the district administration.

According to official sources, the violence started July 19 after gunmen attacked two student leaders in Magurbari Thursday.

Following this, four former Bodo militants were shot dead.

Both the communities then began attacking each other, accusing each other of orchestrating ethnic cleansing.

Assam's Parliamentary Affairs Minister Nilamoni Sen Deka and Revenue Minister Prithibi Majhi were deputed by Chief Minister Gogoi to visit the troubled spots.

Director General of Police Jayanta Narayan Choudhury reviewed the security scenario with police officials.

Railway officials said the running of several trains had been severely affected. All inbound and outbound trains were halted at various stations between Guwahati and Alipurduar.

This has left thousands of train passengers stranded in the state.

"While 20 trains have been rescheduled, 12 trains which were supposed to pass through the violence affected areas have been cancelled," said a North Frontier Railway official.

Some miscreants attacked the Guwahati-bound Rajdhani Express atGosaigaon Tuesday, forcing the authorities to take the train back toAlipurduar.

Ek Tha Tiger in a new controversy

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 01:55:00 -0700

Even though Salman Khan's forthcoming film Ek Tha Tiger has been creating waves with its promos, all is not well with the film. Vikram Vashishtha, who happens to be the nephew of real life spy (late) Ravindra Kaushik, has sent a legal notice to the production company (Yash Raj Films) asking for a special screening of Ek Tha Tiger. The copies of the legal notice have also been sent to Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and the Film & TV Producers Guild and Film Federation of India.

Talking about this issue, Vashishtha told a leading daily that (late) Ravindra Kaushik, his maternal uncle, who was with RAW (Research Analysis Wing), displayed his talent at the national level dramatic meet in Lucknow, which was also witnessed by some officials of the Intelligence Wing. He was then contacted and offered a job for the secret intelligence in Pakistan. Later, he was sent to Pakistan for the purpose.

Vashishtha also added that the promos of Ek Tha Tiger bore a striking resemblance to his uncle's experiences in Pakistan and hence his family has sought legal assistance to either have a look at the original script or view the film before it releases. Meanwhile, Madhav Mitra, Vashishtha's counsel claims that the resemblance is on the account that the promos show that ISI (Pakistan agency) and RAW (Indian Agency) indulged in day-to-day war. He also added that the promos reveal that the agent named 'Tiger' worked in Pakistan and had an affair with a Pakistani girl, fought for the country as well as for his love. He reasoned out stating that since Shashi Vashishtha, the mother of his client Vikram is (late) Ravindra's only sister, the family has the full right to either go through the certified screenplay or watch it prior to national and international release. sources: http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/more/news/view/id/1510144

100 killed as Iraq suffers worst day of violence in two years

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 01:17:00 -0700

Iraq suffered its worst day of violence for two years yesterday (Monday), with more than 100 people killed in a wave of bombings and shootings.
An attack by gunmen on an army post at Dhuluiya, 45 miles north of Baghdad, in which 16 soldiers were shot dead or killed by grenades, heralded a series of bombings across the country. Car bombs hit Sadr City in Baghdad, a large, poor Shia neighbourhood which is a regular target for sectarian killing, Hussainiya, another Shia suburb, the towns of Taji and Khan Bani Saad just to the north of the city, and Kirkuk, a city in the north contested by Arabs, Kurds and minority populations.

Insurgents mounted at least 27 different attacks in 18 cities, security and medical officials said. Officials reported at least 107 people killed by Monday afternoon, with more than 200 wounded. William Hague, the British Foreign Secretary, condemned the attacks, saying: "Coming at the start of the holy month of Ramadan, a time of peaceful reflection and prayer, these attacks demonstrate an appalling disregard for human life. We will continue to support the government of Iraq in its efforts to defeat terrorism, and to provide security for all Iraqis."

The combination attack is a signature al-Qaeda tactic and demonstrates that, despite a decrease of violence overall and claims that some of its fighters have travelled over the border to Syria, the terrorist organisation can still pull off regular "spectaculars".

Despite being largely brought under control by an alliance of American force and local tribal militias in the years before US troops withdrew from Iraq, the local al-Qaeda franchise has maintained the ability to strike every three to four weeks. Last month, 72 people were killed on one day during a series of bombings timed to coincide with a Shia religious festival.

At the weekend, the group posted a rare statement online saying it was "returning to strongholds" from which it withdrew during the US campaign, suggesting that it felt more confident since the final pull-out of American troops in December. "eThe majority of the Sunnis in Iraq support al-Qaeda and are waiting for its return," the statement, signed with the nom de guerre of its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The attack on Taji caused the highest casualty toll yesterday. In another trademark al-Qaeda tactic, a series of car bombs attracted the emergency services, which were then hit by a suicide bombing. At least 42 people were killd. sources: http://www.dnaindia.com/world/report_100-killed-as-iraq-suffers-worst-day-of-violence-in-two-years_1719005

Abhay Deol to star in Vibhu Puri's Bambai Fairy Tale

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 09:15:00 -0700

The buzz is that Abhay Deol is all set to star in debutant director Vibhu Puri's Bambai Fairy Tale. It is a period love story set in the city of dreams, Mumbai. Apparently, Abhay will not only star in the film but also produce it.

It's been a while since we last saw Abhay in an out and out romantic film. Defying his chocolate hero looks, the actor has been quite choosy about doing a love story. Even though he debuted in Imtiaz Ali's Socha Na Tha which was a romantic film, he has rarely been seen in one after, barring Anurag Kashyap's Dev D and the forgettable Aisha. His last film Shanghai was a political thriller. So it will be a nice change to see him in a romantic avatar once again.

A source close to Abhay reveals, "After Shanghai, Abhay was looking to do something entirely different. He loves to experiment with his image. When he heard the narration of Vibhu's story, he loved the idea. After a few meetings, the actor green lighted the project. He is also keen on producing the film but the talks are still on."

Reportedly, Vibhu, the writer of Saawariya, was supposed to make his directorial debut with Chenab Gandhi. Unfortunately, the film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Rajeev Khandelwal and Vidya Balan film got shelved due to the fallout with his producer, Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Interestingly, Bhansali's next, Ram Leela, is also a period love story set in Gujarat. Source: http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/more/news/view/id/1507208

Petrol price to be hiked by 70 paise a litre from midnight

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 08:59:00 -0700

MUMBAI: The state-owned oil marketing companies (OMCs) have decided to increase petrol prices by over 70 paise a litre with effect from midnight, after two successive rounds of rate cuts in the last month. The increase in petrol prices was triggered by the increase in cost of Indian basket of crude oil prices in the last one month, which is hovering over $104 per barrel, according to Petroleum and Planning Analysis Cell (PPAC) data.

With effect from mid-night petrol prices would cost Rs 68.48 in Delhi, Rs 74.23 in Mumbai, Rs 73.16 in Chennai, Rs 73.61 in Kolkata, Rs 75.80 in Hyderabad and Rs 77.30 in Bangalore. Delhi witnessed a hike of 70 paisa per litre while Bangalore witnessed a hike of 91 paisa per litre over the prevailing prices.

"It has been decided by Indian Oil Corporation to increase petrol prices by Rs 0.70/litre with effect from midnight of 23-24 July, 2012," said a statement by India's largest fuel retailer Indian Oil Corporation adding that the said revision has been necessitated due to increasing international oil prices and movement in rupee-dollar exchange rate.

The average price of Indian basket of crude for the relevant pricing period considered is $101.28 per barrel while international petrol price is $111.59 per barrel and the rupee-dollar exchange rate is pegged Rs 55.36 against the dollar, forcing the state-owned firms to incur a loss of Rs 1.41 per litre on petrol sales in the domestic market.

"As the price movement is quite volatile, it has been decided that an increase of Rs 0.70 a litre (excluding state levies) may be effected at this juncture and the situation watched for some time depending upon which a further view will be taken at an appropriate time," said the IOC statement hinting at another price hike if the crude oil prices continue to rise.

The marginal hike in rate follows reductions last month by Rs 2.02 per litre on June 3 and Rs 2.46 a litre on June 29 after the Rs 7.54 per litre increase in rates, the biggest in the history, effected in May this year.

Oil firms have already lost over Rs 2300 crore on sale of petrol in April and May this year and IOC alone lost to tune of Rs 1050 crore.

The under recoveries (loss on sale of sensitive petroleum products below market prices) of the oil firms are projected to be Rs 1,60,000 crore as these firms are losing Rs 10 per litre on sale of diesel, Rs 27 per litre on sale of kerosene and Rs 319 per cylinder on sale of cooking gas.

Following are the revised petrol prices in four metros

Delhi Current Price: 67.78 Revised Price: 68.48 Increase: 0.70

Kolkata Current Price: 72.74 Revised Price: 73.61 Increase: 0.87

Mumbai Current Price: 73.35 Revised Price: 74.23 Increase: 0.88

Chennai Current Price: 72.27 Revised Price: 73.16 Increase: 0.89 Source: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/Petrol-price-to-be-hiked-by-70-paise-a-litre-from-midnight/articleshow/15108284.cms

Mumtaz (actress)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 03:40:00 -0700

Mumtaz (born 31 July 1947, Bombay) is a Bollywood actress, best remembered for her roles in Tere Mere Sapne (1971), Khilona (1970) and for her 8 films opposite Rajesh Khanna. Her performance in Khilona got her the Filmfare Best Actress Award, while the film itself won the Filmfare Best Movie Award. She is cited as the top most Bollywood actress in the period 1969-76.[1] Mumtaz was born to Abdul Saleem Askari and Shadi Habib Agha in Bombay now Mumbai, India, on 31 July 1947. She entered Hindi cinema at age 12.[2] She started as an extra in films in the early 1960s. She accepted small roles in big films like Mujhe Jeene Do and big roles in small budgeted stunt films like Boxer, Samson, Tarzan, and King Kong. In the 1960s, she starred in as many as 16 action films with freestyle wrestler Dara Singh and was labelled as a stunt film heroine.Dara Singh-Mumtaz pair had 10 of the 16 films as box office hits.Faulad, Veer Bhimsen, Samson , Hercules, Tarzan Comes to Delhi, Sikandar E Azam, Rustom-E-Hind, Raaka, Boxer, Daku Mangal Singh were her successful films with Dara Singh.In the films that the pair Dara Singh-Mumtaz did together, Dara's remuneration was 4.5 lakh per film and Mumtaz's salary was 2.5 lakh per film.[3] She first gained attention in a supporting role as a vamp in the A grade color hit film Mere Sanam (1965). The memorable sexy song "Yeh Hai Reshmi Zulphon Ka Andhera" was picturized on her. The success of the film led to another sizzling song "Aye dushman jaan" in another big-budget film Patthar Ke Sanam. Finally, she gained major attention when she played one of Dilip Kumar's leading ladies in Ram Aur Shyam (1967). The film became one of the top hits of the year, and she received her first Filmfare nomination as Best Supporting Actress. Suddenly, Mumtaz was flooded with offers but not for major leading lady roles. She supported Sharmila Tagore in several films in the late 1960s, such as for Saawan Ki Ghata, Yeh Raat Phir Na Aayegi, and Mere Humdum Mere Dost. She had a memorable song and dance number "Aaj Kal Tere Mere" with her co-star Shammi Kapoor in the hit film Brahmachari (1968). It took Raj Khosla's blockbuster Do Raaste (1969) starring Rajesh Khanna to finally make Mumtaz a full-fledged star. Oddly, it was an inconsequential girlfriend role, but director Khosla, so good at picturizing songs, filmed four hit songs on Mumtaz.[4] The film made her hugely popular, and she acknowledged that, even though she had a small role, it was still one of her favorite films.[2] In 1969, her film Do Raaste and Bandhan with Rajesh Khanna became top grossers of the year earning around 6.5 crores and 3 Crores respectively.[5] When earlier, she had played a small role as Rajendra Kumar's sister in Gehra Daag, now she was elevated to playing his leading lady in Tangewala. Shashi Kapoor who had earlier refused to work with her in Saccha Jootha because she was a "stunt film heroine" now wanted her to be his heroine in Chor Machaye Shor. Mumtaz acted in 108 films in a career that spanned just 15 years till 1977. She won the Filmfare Best Actress Award for one of her favorite films Khilona in 1970, and she was "very happy that the audience accepted her in an emotional role."[2] Mumtaz acted with Feroz Khan, Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar and Biswajeet but her pairing opposite Rajesh Khanna was the most popular with the audience and critics alike. Mumtaz had 8 superhits opposite Rajesh Khanna as the solo lead hero in the period 1969-1975.[6][7] Her own other favorite films from her carrer are Tere Mere Sapne for director Vijay Anand, as well as Roop Tera Mastana, Aap Ki Kasam, Prem Kahaniand Aaina. Mumtaz decided to marry millionaire Mayur Madhwani in 1974 and at that time shooting for three films Aap ki Kasam, Roti and Prem Kahani with Rajesh Khanna was yet to begin.She decided to complete these three films and complete her other pending projects of that time Lafange, Nagin and then leave the industry permanently. She returned for one final appearance 12 years later in the 1989 film Aandhiyan, which flopped in India and became silver jubilee hit in Pakistan and after that she turned down other film offers. In 1996 she received the Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award. In June 2008, she was honored for her "Achievement in Indian Cinema" by the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) in Bangkok. Mumtaz has featured recently in UniGlobe Entertainment's cancer docudrama 1 a Minute with a number of international stars. Mumtaz married Mayur Madhvani on 29 May 1974; they have two daughters, Natasha and Tanya. Mumtaz has acknowledged she successfully battled cancer.[8] Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumtaz_(actress)

Rajesh Khanna is no more

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 06:35:00 -0700

Bollywood's original superstar Rajesh Khanna, who charmed his way into the hearts of millions of swooning women in the 1960s and 70s, died in Mumbai today. 69-year-old Khanna, who shot to superstardom with the 1969 hit Aradhana opposite Sharmila Tagore, passed away at his home, a day after being discharged from Lilawati hospital. He had been ailing since April.

Expressing shock at the the demise of Rajesh Khanna, veteran actor Hema Malini said she always hoped that he would recover.

"We always thought he would come back (from the hospital). We are in shock right now," Hema told a TV news channel.

Though a romantic hero, Khanna essayed a variety of roles with ease in his illustrious career spanning four decades. His portrayal as a cancer patient in the Hrishikesh Mukherjee-film Anand(1971) in which he got the better of Amitabh Bachchan left many teary eyed.

Nicknamed "Kaka" by his adoring fans, he is survived by estranged actress wife Dimple Kapadia and daughters Twinkle and Rinkie, all of whom were by his side when his end came.

Khanna's family as also Lilawati Hospital authorities were tightlipped about the nature of the actor's illness.

Sridevi special appearance on Aamir Khan show

noreply@blogger.com (marrysen) — Sun, 13 May 2012 10:10:00 -0700

Aamir Khan brought up the issue of child sex abuse in the second episode of "Satyamev Jayate" Sunday. Yesteryears screen diva Sridevi made a special appearance on the show, her first appearance with Bollywood's Mr. Perfectionist. The 48-year-old came to meet Harish Aiyer, one of the victims of child abuse who told Aamir that he was abused by a man for 11 years. He also said that when he tried to tell his mother, she didn't take him seriously. At that time his only support was his dog and Bollywood movies, especially the ones starring Sridevi. And that is why the actress was invited on the show. Harish was excited when he received a gift from his favourite star. On the show, Aamir spoke to several other victims who narrated their horrific experiences of being molested, sodomised and threatened by their tormentors. Cinderella Prakash, another victim, said how she was abused by a 55-year-old man when she was just 12. According to a survey, 53 percent children who went through child sexual abuse were boys. Aamir concluded the show with Good Touch, Bad Touch workshop for children to teach them about the importance of understanding sexual abuse and recognising predators. The actor also appealed to people to press the government to pass the Protection of Children From Sexual Offences Bill in parliament.
