2012-08-17T07:50:00.001-07:00

Bollywood stars often make headlines with their eccentric and erratic ways of living. Parties, get together at functions and events is a common phenomenon where they get drunk and tend to behave haphazardly.

We tend to forget sometimes that our favorite stars have a life beyond the big screen and they too are human like us! When a normal layman gets drunk, its of no interest to people. On the other hand, if a leading star was found in such a condition, they are sure to be caught on camera.

We have created a collage of pictures of the few top actresses in a drunken state. The photographs of Vidya Balan, Sonam Kapoor, Amisha Patel and Manisha Koirala have been taken from all over the internet and showcases your favorite heroines in a state of bliss!

Gangs of Wasseypur 2 - A revenge saga...

2012-08-15T23:11:00.000-07:00

Gangs of Wasseypur 2 is a revenge saga carried from one generation to the next generation. This is the final chapter in the bloody lives of the avenging 'Gangs of Wasseypur'. Sardar Khan's sons are at war with Ramadhir Singh's men; and the knives clash and the bullets flash; till either drops dead.

Watching a 3 hour movie is an intense experience, and specially when it is an Anurag Kashyap flick. He does not allow you time to breathe or sit back, and I have just spent 3 hours leaning forward, sitting at the edge of my seat (almost falling out of it sometimes).

Kashyap is India's best amongst his contemporaries can be proved by one scene, and one scene alone: Faisal moving his family and subsequently himself during a murderous attack on their home. The camera continuously tracks the actor for the entire scene, and it looks as if the shot has been canned in one continuous take. This delightful sequence is a personal favorite and certainly a first for Bollywood. A similar moment in the first film is the last one after Sardar Khan is shot. Which leads to the question, "Why does everybody else find it so bloody difficult to combine cinematic excellence with realism ?" Certainly doesn't seem to be an issue with Anurag Kashyap.

And finally, the music. It blows your socks off, with bang-on-target lyrics. The best of the lot for Wasseypur 2 is 'Taar Bijli' and 'Chhi Chha Ledar'(sung by aTh 12 year old).

The only problem with Wasseypur is that it becomes emotionally taxing and mind numbing. I zoned out for some time, affected by the absolute mayhem being unleashed.

Take a bow, Mr Kashyap for the best film series of Bollywood. I am going to be a fan all my life.

Tumhi Ho Bandhu - A new song from COCKTAIL!

2012-05-28T04:56:00.000-07:00

Its the movie Cocktail which is creating a buzz with the new peppy track 'Tumhi ho Bandhu' sung by Neeraj Shridhar & Kavita Seth featuring Deepika Padukone, Saif Ali Khan & Diana Penty.

Again Diana Penty has stolen all the show with her cute looks. She is looking amazing shadowing Deepika Padukone in the whole song. Seems bollywood has got a new super heroine and a fresh face for the directors who have got bored of Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra.

Music of the film releases on 7th June, 2012.

COCKTAIL time!

2012-05-23T10:01:00.001-07:00

Trailer of Saif Ali Khan's new flick 'Cocktail' is out. The film is produced under the banner of Illuminati Films and directed by 'Homi Adjania' the director of an off beat film 'Being Cyrus'. 'Cocktail' is wriiten by 'Rockstar' fame Imtiaz Ali and Sajid Ali.

'Cocktail' seems to be a young love story as 'Deepika Padukone' and 'Saif Ali Khan' return after Love Aaj Kal and Aarakshan with a debutant 'Diana Penty' which brings freshness to the star cast.

“Some friends are too good to be shared” - a tag line that shows that 'Cocktail' is a perfect blend of love, drama & friendship. A modern romance with a twist of the traditionalist, fun, and most importantly high-spirits. Movie also has a famous song by Punjabi singer 'Yo Yo Honey Singh'.

Everyone is looking forward for the release on 13th July, 2012.

Katrina got kissed!

2012-01-17T07:51:00.000-08:00

Yes! SRK is the lucky man who got a chance to kiss gorgeous Katrina Kaif at Colors Screen Awards 2012.

Shahrukh Khan took the advantage of Salman Khan's absence at the 18th Colors Screen Awards and planted a sweet lil’ peck on Katrina Kaif’s cheek onstage.

He kissed Katrina on the left cheek during a performance, sparking rumours of alleged troubled married life with Gauri. Gauri Khan reacted for the first time saying "If you have a charming superstar for a husband who is always surrounded by pretty ladies, it’s time you start expecting such fleeting kisses"

Later Shahrukh tweeted "Too much fun with Vidya…Madhuri.. Katrina… Sajid. Hope the audience enjoys it too. Now looking forward to Zee after screen awards…loving it.”

Katrina did not seem to be flattered by SRK's impromptu act.

Time to watch ‘Chikni Chameli’

2012-01-09T01:55:00.000-08:00

After the success of hot sizzling item numbers ‘Munni Badnaam hui’, ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’, ‘Jalebi Bai’ etc. Karan Johar is back with ‘Chikni Chameli’ in his new movie AGNEEPATH.

The much awaited item number Chikni Chameli from Karan Johar’s film AGNEEPATH is out and the choreographer Ganesh Acharya, who directed Katrina Kaif's dance moves in the popular item number Chikni Chameli, says she was the perfect choice for the number and that nobody could have done justice to the song.

The song is composed by national award-winning duo Ajay-Atul and sung by Shreya Ghoshal, has become the USP of Karan Johar's Agneepath, a remake of Amitabh Bachchan-starrer 1990 movie of the same name. It has garnered over five million views on Youtube.

Katrina Kaif is garnering a lot of praise for gyrating to item number 'Chikni Chameli', but the actress says the 'lavni' style dancing was not a cakewalk for her.

"The response to 'Chikni Chameli' has been fun so far. It was hard work. It was very fast and it was not a style I was used to, but I took it as a challenge...I think we all went for it as a team and did the best we could. I am happy people are liking it," the 27-year-old actress said.

Katrina has some plum projects in her kitty -- she is working on 'Ek Tha Tiger' with Salman, 'Dhoom 3' and Yash Chopra's untitled new venture which is expected to feature Shah Rukh Khan.

Review: Don 2 The Chase Begins Again

2011-12-22T23:22:00.000-08:00

Don 2: The Chase Begins Again

Even Amitabh Bachan never thought that one of his hit will be remade and that too with a sequel where his character will be portrayed with larger than life and glossy image.

Don 2 being one of the most awaited release of the year lacks the story, plot and script which is dull and almost boring. "The King is Back" shows the entry of King Khan in his new rugged look with his old hair dreadlocks and a beard. Though he has been shown with cool looks like the way he enters in the song "Zara Dil Ko Thaam Lo" where he sways his shoulder while he walks.

Movie is pacing with a slow script which sometime looks very dull. The movie takes forward the story of the dangerous underworld kingpin Don, played by actor Shah Rukh Khan. In this edition, the film picks up from the climax of the 2006 film and the protagonist returns with more pulsating action as he seeks European domination after ruling the Asian underworld. Mr. Khan reprises the role of Don and actress Priyanka Chopra returns, too, in her role as Roma.

Film is a perfect combination of style with substance,and is worth a one-time watch for all, but is a treat for SRK fans.

I will rate this movie 3/5

Best Hollywood Movie

2010-08-03T23:34:00.000-07:00

Few movies are the all time best movies which one always like to watch and always look for that kind of movies. One of that kind of movie and also stated as Hollywood's all time best movie is 'The Shawshank Redemption'.

Director Frank Darabont adopted the screenplay from a Stephen King novella and made his directorial debut with this movie. Movie is all about two prisoners who met in the prison and were imprisoned for many years lived their life in solitude. It tell the story of a prisoner Andy Dufrense (Tim Robbins) who has been into prison for a killing his wife and her lover which he didn't commit and has to serve two life sentences in the prison. He meets a fellow prisoner named Red (Morgan Freeman) in the jail who is already serving a life sentence for murdering when he was young and can get anything in the jail. He later on becomes the best buddy of Andy and helps him getting different things in the prison.

The prison life of Andy has been described in a very smooth way and the ups and downs in his prison life are shown in a seamless manner. The whole story is narrated by Red in the movie by which director keeps the few parts of Andy's life quiet mysterious. The slow but steady flow of movie makes it more interesting and keeps us glued. The climax of the movie is outstanding and touches the heart.

The movie was released in the year 1994 along with the movies "Forest Gump" and "Pulp Fiction". It was nominated for 7 Oscars but unfortunately didn't won any of them. I would surely recommend you to watch this movie

I will rate this movie 5/5

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Movie Review

2010-08-01T11:20:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time in MUMBAAI is a Balaji Production movie directed by Milan Luthria Ajay Devgan,Emraan Hashmi,Prachi Desai and Kangana Ranaut. It is a movie said to be based on the life of the famous Mumbai gangster during 1960s and 1970s named Haji Mastan who became the first celebrity gangster of the city, expanding his clout in the Indian film industry.

Once upon a time in MUMBAAI takes us back in era of 1970s when the city of gold was ruled by the underworld dons like Haji Mastan an Daud Ibrahim. It tells us the story of rise and reign of the don Sultan Mirza (Ajay Devgan) who later on had differences with his own family and his biggest fan Shoaib Khan (Emraan Hashmi).

The movie begins with a regret of ACP Agnel Wilson (Randeep Hooda) claiming that it was he who did not take any serious actions against the rise of Shoaib Khan 18 years ago. It shows that Sultan Mirza falls in love with the Bollywood actress Rehana (Kangna Ranaut) which causes him to enter into the production of her new upcoming films. Side by side the twilight of money and fame leads Shoaib to do all kind of illegal work. In this way the saga of two big smugglers has been shown in a way that power and money is not stable it keeps on transferring from one to another.

Its difficult to see periodic dramas in Bollywood and that too without historical characters. The movie shows the era of 1970s so the director has done good work in taking us back to 1970s. He has taken good care of each and everything whether its shoes, cars or the buildings shown in the movie, all resemble 1970. Movie tends to be a good entertainer and has a crisp in the script.

Movie moreover glorifies crime and shows how the underworld don is treated as 'Robin Hood' by the people. Intense acting done by Ajay Devgan and Emraan Hashmi is a treat to watch. Movie also has a good music with numbers like' Peeloon', 'Tum Jo Aae' etc which has been given by Pritam Chakrobarthy. Overall its surely a one time watch movie and a good time pass for the weekend.

I will rate this movie 2.5/5

Salman is Dabang

2010-07-27T08:28:00.000-07:00

The trailers of Salman's upcoming movie 'Dabang' have created a wave in the tinsel town. Dabang is a home production movie of Salman Khan which has been produced by his brother Arbaz Khan.

The 44-year-old actor grew out a mustache for his role in his upcoming flick Dabang. The movie is likely to release during EID this year (September 10th).

The sweet and cute girl is playing role opposite to Salman Khan.

Dabang means fearless cop and in the movie Salman plays a role of a cop named Chulbul Pandey aka Robinhood Pandey. Everyone will expect it as a same hit like Wanted and break all the records of Wanted.

Salman had been also hospitalized while shooting for the action sequence in the movie. Salman's fans and well wishers wish him lots of luck for the new movie...

Lets see what happens Bebo, all the best Madhur sir... :)

Khatta Meetha Movie Review

2010-07-25T08:42:00.000-07:00

Khatta Meetha is again a Priyadarshan directed movie and produced by Akshay Kumar for the first time. The film is being promoted as the RK Laxman-inspired voice of common man explained in a comic way.

The film is based upon a loser named Sachin Tichkule (Akshay Kumar) who is considered as a good for nothing road contractor and is heavily under debt and have no money to bribe officials for hi contracts.

Its neither a full fledged comedy movie or a topic based movie. Director got mixed up with both the things that people coming to watch a comedy film will be disappointed as the movie is less in comedy and more about the evils like bribe within the government departments and how it affects common man's life. Also the newcomer Trisha fails in portraying the image of municipal commissioner and also the film lacks the chemistry between the actor and the actress.

Khatta Meetha shows Sachin Tichkule as an irritated and screaming character. All the characters are quite irritating in the movie which shows that director was quiet confused whether he wanted to make a comedy movie a or something else. The movie contains very less Meetha part but is more and off can be called as a Khatti film.

I will rate this movie 2/5.

Tere Bin Laden Movie Review

2010-07-22T10:02:00.000-07:00

Osama strikes again but this time not with any terrorist activity but with a comedy act in Tere Bin Laden. A new low budget comedy movie based on the life of a reporter (Ali Zafar) who wants to immigrate to America and comes across the look alike of Osama Bin Laden is truly a laughter riot.

Debutant Director Abhishek Sharma did a really good job. He not only gave a new avtaar to the terrorism king but also made him quiet humorous. Sugandha Garg the lady behind Osama Bin Laden's (Pradhuman Singh) make-up did a fair job who made Pradhuman's facial features almost same as real Osama.

Its good to see the kind of set created by the director really looks similar to Pakistan. The movie being directed by an inexperience director has some flaws but are ignored as the story is very funny and entertaining.

People are surely going to enjoy this movie as the script is witty, crispy and very humorous. The new Osama Bin Laden will rock the world this time. The new crew and cast have really worked hard and their hard work will be appreciated by the people.

Its a kind of comedy which can make you fall from your seat and spill your popcorn on the floor, so beware and tighten your belts after you sit :-)

I will rate this movie 3/5

Inception Movie Review

2010-07-12T02:44:00.000-07:00

Inception is the Christopher Nolan directorial, who earlier directed hits like 'The Dark Knight' & 'Momento'. Inception is the another very good venture of him which has been directed in an undoubtedly outstanding way, which left me wondering that what was real and what was not in the whole story. Again it had few similarities with movies like 'The Matrix' but was different in its own way.

The plot has been marked by elaborately complex details, with a twist-and-turn, that keep-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat type feel. The movie does not contain brainless action, its a well composed movie with strong emotion, drama and right amount of action.

Leonardo DiCaprio did another good job which will be remembered by the people forever. He plays the role of an extractor or a thief who enters the dreams of the businessmen with the use of technology and steal their business ideas. Later on he gets a proposal from Saito (Ken Wanatabe) to enter into the dream of his business rival Robert Fischer Jr. (Cillian Murphy) to put an idea rather than stealing his idea which help Saito to dissolve his rival's business. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) takes this as an opportunity to meet his children after long time.

Inception is a masterpiece which may get an Oscar, but its too early to say. The very few visual effects in movie are really good and cinematography has been well as well. Hope this sci-fi hits the mind of the people very well.

I would rate this movie 4/5

Milenge Milenge Movie Review

2010-07-10T11:24:00.000-07:00

Milenge Milenge has finally released. Shahid - Kareena duo can finally be seen on the silver screen after a long time. Movie was scheduled to be released soon after their hit Jab We Met, but was affected by lovers spat.

Anyways movie has finally released for the 72mm screen and story is all about that love has binded the whole universe in its own way. Movie coming after a long time shows that its a kind of old faishoned movie, the plots of which have been used in the new or recent movies in a very different way.

Milenge Milenge also has some devices used in such a way which sometimes are heart-warming and sometimes quiet irritating. Use of elevators and flights have been quit well in the movie which help directr to keep the lovers apart for the two hours. The OK types chemistry between the actors is even not able to help the movie to pull crowd towards the theaters.

Finally movie cannot be the same hit as Jab We Met, but can be watched if you don't have anythin to do this weekend.

I will rate this movie 2/5

Knight AND Day Movie Review

2010-07-09T22:08:00.000-07:00

After the full of error A-Team comes a new action movie, Knight And Day. All are waiting eagerly to watch the famous Vanilla Sky chemistry again on the silver screen. Will the old be gold again?, is a question arising among many viewers.

Knight And Day directed by 'James Mangold' famous for his 'Walk the Line' casts Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz.

Knight And Day is a FUN! Ride. The story goes with June Havens (Cameron Diaz) finds her everyday life tangled with that of a secret agent who has realized he isn't supposed to survive his latest mission. As their campaign to stay alive stretches across the globe, they soon learn that all they can count on is each other.

Its a good entertainer rather than any subject like movie which are released to win awards. This movie might not win any award but will surely entertain you. Movie walks a fine line between comedy and action and contains many twist and turns. One hour forty nine minutes spent in the cinema hall will be a good worth for this movie.

Both the starts justify their stardom, Tom Cruise proves again why he is still a STAR and Diaz holds her role very well and looks even prettier than before.

Watching this movie will not be a money waste but will a time pass and worth for this weekend.

I will rate this movie 2.5/5

Your comments will be welcomed. Do watch the movie and let me know if I went wrong somewhere :)
