KKGSR Food Service irritates Arnav

2012-03-28T03:00:00.001-07:00

In Star Plus Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, besides the love hate fight with Arnav, Khushi is now stuck in 300 Rs loan problem which she took from Arnav and she is finding the way to return Arnav’s loan at any cost.

In the yesterday (23 March) episode, it was shown that Khushi got an idea to start her business by providing lunch to Arnav’s office workers to settle Arnav’s loan amount. In the meanwhile, canteen boy complaints Arnav because of his (Arnav) wife Khushi his canteen food has stopped. Arnav asked Khushi to stop this dabba service but Khushi didn’t mind his words because she wanted to pay his loan. Arnav got irritated when Khushi (Sananya Irani) told him that her dabba (food) service name will be KKGSR (Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada).

To stop Khushi, Arnav (Barun Sobti) asked his office workers to cancel all their food orders that they gave to Khushi but the canteen boy who complaints about Khushi says not to stop as he has become business partner of Khushi now.

Khushi never leaves a moment on irritating Arnav. Let’s see what will Arnav to defeat his vivacious, chirpy wife Khushi.

What is Khushi’s business motto Shyam or Arnav

2012-03-28T02:55:00.002-07:00

While making ways to create problems for Arnav (Barun Sobti), Khushi (Sanaya Irani) has now made some unpredictable plan in Star Plus’ Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon.

The recent episode showed that Khushi has taken her new avatar of business woman and now she is serving lunch to the employees at her husband Arnav’s company ASR Group. Though it is something uncommon act for a person who is wife of a rich business tycoon to do catering in her husband's office, Arnav’s Nani and Arnav’s sister Anjali supported Khushi. But Arnav is not amused with Khushi’s act.

In fact, it is not very clear as to what is the main motto of Khushi behind her business idea because only returning Rs. 300 to Arnav, should Khushi do such business. But, Khushi is very serious with her business, so there may be something else in Khushi’s mind.

Lets wait and see whether this is ploy of Kushi to show the door to her obsessive lover Shyam of it is one of her tricks free herself from the forced marriage relationship.

Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon: Honeymoon bring Arnav, Khushi close?

2012-03-28T02:44:00.000-07:00

However, the family came up with a new plan where they decorated the house like honeymoon. Arnav and Khushi were surprised to see it, but Aranv’s sister Anjali says Arnav and Khushi to forget their fights and enjoy their honeymoon.

Arnav and Khushi agree to patch up for the sake of Anjali (Daljeet Bhanoot). To bring close Arnav and Khushi, Anjali asked them to go for a dance. During the dance, Arnav and Khushi get tension and Anjali’s husband Shyam (Abhaas Mehta) constantly looks at Khushi (Sanaya Irani). Seeing Shyam, Arnav got furious on him and recalled Shyam and Khushi’s hugging during Payal and Aakash’s engagement.

Arnav (Barun Sobti) got very aggressive, and then he danced with Khushi passionately. The family was very happy thinking that, finally their plan to bring close Arnav and Khushi works.

Besides it, the family decorated their room with candles and flowers. Anjali switched off the light of Arnav where he does his office works. Anjali also closed the doors of Arnav’s room.

Now, both Arnav and Khushi are together in their room. So, let’s see this will this honeymoon melt Arnav’s heart for Khushi.

Jodi Brekers Movie Review

2012-02-23T22:40:00.000-08:00

Cast: R Madhavan, Bipasha Basu, Omi Vaidya, Milind Soman, Dipanita Sharma,Mrinalini Sharma, Helen

Directed by Ashwini Chaudhary

Rating: **1/2

Hearts and buttocks may not serve the same purpose but when in love, both are subject to equitable amount of pain. This is one of the many pearls of wisdom you might pick up from this rom-com about breaking marriages and bandaging hearts. While similar films have managed well in exploring the intricate particulars of relationships, this one dares to not take itself as seriously and makes for a flaky yet pleasant watch.

The film ushers us into the curious life of Sid Khanna (R Madhavan), a marriage breaker by profession and a divorcee by marital status. Although he isn’t a divorce lawyer, he lies very well and helps people part with their insufferable partners without getting bankrupt due to alimony. His friends and supporting cast include sexual athlete and bartender Nano (Omi Vaidya) and a couple who devise their screen time between offering advice and passing snide comments. Without any drum rolls or slow-mo intros, Sonali (Bipasha Basu) strolls into Sid’s favourite bar and into his life. HerAmy Winehouse eyes and playful manner impresses Sid enough to hire her as his workmate and she instantly hops on the offer.

After a speedy and entertaining first-half, the inevitable and predictable disaster occurs. Love. Sigh. And like a morning after the misadventures of a drunken night, it all seems to be going down. But dodging Bollywood clichés, it doesn’t become the crux of the separation, which naturally needs to happen. And the melodrama and grumpiness associated with the same is kept to a bare minimum. In fact, what is novel here is that love isn’t chased or forced but is allowed to brew over the entire runtime of the movie. So when it does reach a sweet spot, it sinks in with ease and is more believable and beautiful.

While many argue that R Madhavan is wearing an astronaut suit under his clothes, in actuality, it is just his bloated self. While for an actor of his caliber, a couple of gigagrams on the face and several gallons in the rest of him can’t take away from his performance and it doesn’t. Only bother, when he lip-syncs to songs, his lip movements look like streaks flickering on a humungous canvas. On the other spectrum of the lard horizon, Bipasha is glowing and skinnier than ever before. For skeptics, who feel Bipasha has little to offer apart from her appearance, I couldn’t agree more. But here, she’s almost tolerable, if that could account for a minor achievement. Omi Vaidya is a show stealer for his inimitable comic timing and the re-enactment of his legendary ‘3 Idiots’ horror speech is 24 carat. And while forcing an actor to recreate a successful scene is a horrible idea, here it just works. Vaidya’s character is trying to pull off a sex guru with just a bar menu in his hands. His opening verse, “Ek Old Monk ne kaha tha, apne andar ke Black Dog ko sambhal ke rakhna, warna mathay pe Black Label lag jayega.” Milind Soman and Dipanita Sharma are both stunning mannequins as their roles are mere props who talk only a little more than they express.

The story may not be entirely original yet the dialogues are refreshingly clever and crisp, keeping the pace of the film intact. The golden line being, “The best part of kissing is the unsure and unsettling feeling experienced just a moment before a kiss when you don’t know exactly how it’s going to turn out.” Greece is a country that doesn’t need a professional photographer to extract the plentiful shades of blue that the sea offers. But having one here only made it better. The music by Salim-Sulaiman is strictly average and even the high-pumping party numbers don’t induce any tapping of foot.

As Madhavan and Bips team up to snoop around, they remind you of Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo. But when they get intimate, your fond association with the adorable bhalus is scarred forever.

IPL 5 auction: Chennai Super Kings buy Ravindra Jadeja for whopping $2 million in tie-breaker

2012-02-03T23:38:00.001-08:00

NEW DELHI: Dashing wicketkeeper-batsman Brendon McCullum was the first to be auctioned as he was bought for $900,000 by Kolkata Knight Riders followed by the Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who was clinched by Chennai Super Kings for whopping $2 million in the tie-breaker.

Who got whom | Batsmen | Bowlers | All-rounders | Wicket-keepers

Meanwhile, KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan tweeted: Feel shy sitting on auction table with all the bigwigs...so waiting outside and enjoying a cuppa coffee & brendon return to team...

Royal Challengers Bangalore bought seamer R Vinay Kumar, who had a base price $100,000, for $1 million.

Fast bowler RP Singh, who had a base price of $200,000, was bought by Mumbai Indians for $600,000.

Jadeja, who had a base price of $100,000, was bagged in a tie-breaker between Super Kings and Deccan Chargers.

The $2 million budget cap for the auction means Super Kings have spent all their money on a single player and cannot participate in the auction any more.

Delhi Daredevils bought all-rounder Andre Russel, who had a base price of $50,000, for $450,000 while Mitchell Johnson was bought at his base price by the Mumbai Indians for $300,000.

Deccan Chargers bought Parthiv Patel, who had a base price of $200,000, for $650,000 after quite a fight with the other franchises.

Rajasthan Royal bought Bradley Hodge for $475,000. Sri Lankan master batsman Mahela Jayawardene has been bought by Delhi Daredevils for $1.4 million.

Mumbai Indians bought Herschelle Gibbs for $50,000 while Dinesh Chandimal bought by Rajasthan Royals for $50,000. Both the players have been bought on their base prices.

Muttiah Muralitharan was bought by Royal Challengers Bangalore for $200,000 while England's paceman James Anderson was the first to go unsold in the IPL 5 auction.

Darren Bravo, Ian Bell, Upul Tharanga, Adrian Barath, Tamim Iqbal and VVS Laxman went unsold at the IPL 5 auction.

A total of 146 players will be auctioned for the available 29 slots as the auction for the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League got underway in Bangalore.

The auction got a big twist just hours before the players' auction after Sahara India pulled out from the ownership of IPL franchise Pune Warriors.

Sahara India has been denied replacement for injured Yuvraj Singh for the upcoming fifth edition of Indian Premier League.

"It was an emotional decision for us to start this sponsorship but our emotions were never appreciated and many genuine situations were not given due consideration at all," Sahara said.

Sahara India also requested BCCI to pass on Pune Warriors team to some other interested party immediately.

The franchises have a maximum of $2 million to spend at the auction as they bid to strengthen their line-ups ahead of the tournament which will be played between April 4 and May 27.

The exceptions are Bangalore and Pune, which have already spent some money retaining their respective 'replacements', Chris Gayle and Sourav Ganguly.

The auction will be conducted by Richard Madley, a professional auctioneer from England who has conducted each of the previous IPL player auctions.

The 2012 auction happens to be the cheapest of the five so far. The purse has been tightened keeping the cricketers and vacancies in mind.

Sahara withdraws Indian cricket team sponsorship and Pune Warriors ownership

2012-02-03T23:20:00.000-08:00

NEW DELHI: In a surprise development, the Indian cricket team's longtime sponsor Sahara India on Saturday ended financial ties with theBCCI and also pulled out of the IPL by withdrawing from Pune Warriors' ownership just hours before the players' auction.

Sahara, which has been the team sponsor for 11 years, signed a renewed agreement with the BCCI on July 1, 2010 till December 31, 2013.

Sahara was paying Rs 3.34 crore per Test match, one-day international and Twenty20 international under the new terms.

"...after an 11-year journey as sponsors, we can say with surety that cricket has become very rich. Many rich people are there to support cricket with a strong will to do so. So, with absolute peace of mind we can exit from cricket under BCCI and are exiting with a heavy heart," Sahara India said in a statement.

"It was an emotional decision for us to start this sponsorship but our emotions were never appreciated and many genuine situations were not given due consideration at all," the statement read.

Sahara, which entered the cash-rich IPL bandwagon last year along with the now-disbanded Kochi Tuskers Kerala, complained that several requests put forth by it with regards to players and the number of matches were not accepted by the BCCI.

"Our first entry into IPL was thwarted in 2008 when we were disqualified, owing to a small technicality on the whims and fancies of BCCI. Yet our Bid was not opened," the statement said.

"Last year, Sahara entered the IPL on the basis of information in the media and everywhere else that 94 matches will be played among 10 teams. The bid price was accordingly calculated, but only 74 matches were played. We are still pursuing continuously with the BCCI to refund the extra bid money proportionately. It has been denied on the basis of strict rules.

"In the interest of the tournament, we repeatedly tried our best to pursue the BCCI for open auction of all players so that we achieve level playing field and all teams are equally balanced from the quality players' point of view. Again, as per BCCI's strict rules it was denied and again, we were deprived of natural justice. 12 of the best players were retained by the existing teams then," it added.

"The two new teams then requested for allowing us at least one extra foreign player but that too was denied, quoting rules."

Sahara's marquee player in the IPL is skipper Yuvraj Singh, who is currently recovering from tumour in the lungs.

His unavailability in the IPL this season prompted Sahara to ask the BCCI that the price of the batsman be added to their overall purse for the players auction but the request was turned down.

"Yuvraj Singh, who is truly like one of our family members, is, quite unfortunately, passing through a bad phase health wise, undergoing treatment for critical illness, overseas.

"Our duty is to take care of him, so Sahara has decided to pay him his full fee this year with condition as a Guardian that his priority should be health care and he should not play till he has fully recovered," the company stated.

"We requested the BCCI on the basis of the fact that we have only one Indian marquee player, that we be allowed to add price of Yuvraj Singh in our auction purse, during the February 4 auction because we had later taken Sourav Ganguly at 0.4 million.

"Again, we have been denied on the basis of the rule book. Yet again, a case of being denied natural justice. We think this peculiar situation of Shri Yuvraj Singh is silent in the rule book because it probably talks only about players who are temporarily injured."

Sahara is apparently also unhappy with the fact that Royal Challengers Bangalore were allowed to buy replacement player Chris Gayle this season.

"The manner in which Gayle was bought was not liked by many franchises including Sahara," a Sahara official said on condition of anonymity.

Sahara said even during the Champions League Twenty20, an injury-plagued Mumbai Indians were allowed to field an extra foreign player due to the crisis in the team but such gestures were never extended to Pune Warriors.

"Incidentally, once during the Champions League, one of the Indian IPL teams had a lot of injured players so they were rightly, out of natural justice, allowed to break the rules and take one extra foreign player. We appreciated this natural justice," it said.

"We really feel such one-sided emotional relationship cannot be dragged any further. We are withdrawing from all cricket under BCCI," it added.

But the company said that it would pay its sponsorship free for the next few months giving time to the BCCI to find a new sponsor. It also promised to pay the dues of its IPL players and staff.

"We don't want to give any problem to the BCCI and we also feel that the players should not suffer. BCCI will definitely take 2-4 months to get a new sponsor and we will continue paying the sponsorship money till then," it said.

"All other IPL team players, coaches and other such associates will definitely get their due this year, in case they do not get a chance to play," it said.

Detailing what it felt were the BCCI's attempts at slighting the company, Sahara was also unhappy about the fact that its logo was removed from the team shirt during the 2003 World Cup and a couple of other tournaments on directives of the ICC.

"Once during a World Cup tournament, Sahara's name was not allowed because there was a clash of our Airline with a South African airline. In two major tournaments, the team had to play without the Sahara logo," Sahara said.

"It was ICC's decision so we could realise that it was for no fault of BCCI and we also did not want the players to suffer. As per the rules, we were not supposed to pay sponsorship money for those matches but we still paid the players share of the amount in entirety. Sadly, we never found BCCI believing in genuine give and take," the company stated.

Having withdrawn from cricket under BCCI, Sahara said it would put in Rs. 1000 crore in a welfare foundation.

"We are very happy to take a decision that the cricket money will be diverted to social work. We are declaring to put immediately Rs. 500 crore in Sahara Welfare Foundation, which will be run with the association of eminent persons of our country. For the programme as mentioned below, Sahara declares to put around Rs. 500 crore more in the next 1-2 years as per the need of all the programmes," the company said.

"We are working on various programmes including financial implications etc since we have taken this decision after continuous persuasion with the BCCI failed, meaning on the February 2, 2012. But we waited upto the auction day that our request to BCCI would be accepted. But again, there was no natural justice."

Sahara said it would develop "20 Rural/Semi Urban Sports Promotional Centres including Rural/Semi Urban Cricket promotional Centres."

"Centres will have diversified sports disciplines viz. cricket, hockey, soccer, formula1, tennis, golf, wrestling, boxing etc. One international standard sports academy shall immediately be developed at one point in India. All best selected students shall ultimately come to this International Class Sports Academy."

Sahara also announced that a support fund for old (retired) and present players who, at times, face "miserable days regarding medical bills, girls marriage, shelter etc."

"Every year minimum 10 crore will be distributed - Rs 3 crore for cricketers. Rs 7 Crore for all other disciplines."

"We shall discuss with other federations where we are sponsoring different disciplines of sports and as per the genuine need for better promotion, we shall enhance the sponsorship amount."

Agneepath Movie Review

2012-01-30T04:19:00.000-08:00

Karan Malhotra's 'Agneepath' is definitely a visual spectacle but do we have an appetite for a three-hour-long revenge saga complete with blood, gore and heightened melodrama any more?

Rajeev Masand in his review commends the acting but rightly points out that it's 'over-indulgent':

Debutant director Karan Malhotra's re-telling of Mukul Anand's 1990 vendetta movie 'Agneepath' is a glossy, well-acted production. Compared to recent 'mass entertainers' that tend to lazily sacrifice story and plot for retro-style action and star appeal, this remake rolls along like a well-oiled machine. And yet, after watching three hours of stabbing, gunfire, blasts, and hand-to-hand fighting, you realize the film is somewhat crippled by its over-indulgent length.

Malhotra's remake might be a tribute to the cult classic but the close-ups and the loud background score is almost reminiscent of RGV's films. Mayank Shekhar in his review says:

The debutant director (Karan Malhotra) is an equally unapologetic devotee of Bollywood's old-world scale and melodrama that few get right. He does, to a great extent, though almost every scene's an announcement, the jarring background score is always in jaagran (or concert) mode, and the camera is constantly at close-up or mid-shot, which can get exhausting to the eye.

The other flaw that really drags the film is the love angle between Hrithik and Priyanka. Taran Adarsh seems to think that the film is overall brilliant but even he agrees that the romantic track is completely unnecessary:

Most Hindi films initiate with a bang, but run out of gas by the time they reach the finale, often getting deflated in between as well, but AGNEEPATH is vigorous from the very commencement to the absolute conclusion. The conflict at the very initiation and also towards the closing stages, the tension between Vijay and Kancha and also between Vijay and his mother, the game of one-upmanship played by Vijay to grab power… AGNEEPATH is one exhilarating ride. A vendetta story needs to be garnished with several terrific dramatic moments and Malhotra does just that. His handling of the subject deserves brownie points. The only 'hiccup', if one may say so, is the romantic track towards the first hour, which is lackluster.

Gaurav Malani hails the film saying that this is "how a remake is supposed to be! Retaining the spirit of the original and having a soul of its own":

The remake isn't essentially remodeled to modern times because the film retains its original era thereby reviving the raw essence of the 1990 film. And beyond the epoch, Malhotra also imparts the cinematic treatment of that time period to his film. So both the villain and hero have stylized entries, their confrontations boast of high-voltage drama and, in the climax, when the bruised and battered protagonist rises to take revenge (in exactly the same manner like his father was killed), he wins instant applause.

I agree with the stylized entries and the high-voltage drama but what I don't understand is why did the protagonist wait for 15 years to avenge his father's death? His master plan was a completely futile exercise because 15 years of strategizing and planning boils down to a mere fist fight between him and the villain.

4 Ways to Get a Promotion in 2012

2012-01-30T03:52:00.000-08:00

Things are looking up for the job market in 2012, but we're not out of the woods yet. If you're hoping for a promotion in the new year, be aware that it will be tough--but not impossible.

Follow these four tips to get a promotion and climb the corporate ladder even in a stagnant economy:

1. Focus on achievements. No one gets a promotion without being valuable to a company, and the best way to show your value is by focusing on your achievements. Rather than describing your day-to-day duties, focus on things you accomplished at your current position, namely, specific results.

Using numbers is a great strategy. For example, "increased profits by 40 percent" or "doubled sales in the first quarter" give tangible, measurable amounts of value you provided your company. When talking to your manager about a promotion, make sure to convey your value in the form of your achievements.

2. Ask for more. Show that you're ready to take the next step by taking on more responsibility. Ask for--and volunteer for--more tasks and projects, especially those that correspond with your desired post-promotion position. Also, take the initiative and go the extra mile on anything you're assigned. In order to get a promotion, you need to show you're not only able to handle extra responsibility, but able to produce quality work at the same time.

3. Up your skills. Show your employer that you're committed to a future at your company and to a higher position by investing in some professional development and training programs. Staying on top in the business world means keeping your skills up-to-date with the newest technology, best practices, etc.

Not sure what skills you should improve? Look into the skills necessary for the position you want. What are some skills people at that level have? More importantly, what are some skills people at that level should have but don't? If you can offer a necessary skill that's currently lacking at your desired level, you're offering your employer a great opportunity to promote.

4. Be patient. Even though hiring is expected to rise this year, companies are still bouncing back from the recession and the economy is still tough. If you've made it clear you want a promotion and have done your best to showcase your achievements, capabilities, and skills, the rest is out of your hands. It may be the case that your company isn't in a position to promote at the moment; while this is disappointing, it's a situation that will hopefully change in the future. Keep up the good work, and keep making your goals known.

Shah Rukh has been bonding with Katrina

2012-01-20T20:57:00.001-08:00

Poor Gauri Khan! If worrying about her hubby Shah Rukh Khan's growing closeness to his Don co-star Priyanka Chopra was not enough, it now seems that the Baadshah's 'begum' might now have fresh worries to make her frown.

Sources claim that the chikni chameli actress was spotted emerging from SRK's vanity van during the recently held Screen Awards. This has certainly raised quite a few eyebrows as the King Khan's vanity van is generally considered to be out of bounds to everyone and Kaif reportedly was in his van for almost an hour!

Incidentally, it was during Katrina Kaif's birthday party that friends Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan got in an argument and have been going out of their way to avoid each other ever since then. We can't help wondering if this piece of news shall escalate the Khan war to new levels.

Vodafone wins $2.2-billion tax bill battle

2012-01-20T20:47:00.000-08:00

NEW DELHI/LONDON (Reuters) - Vodafone Group Plc (LSE:VOD.L - NewsVOD.L) won a $2.2 billion legal battle against the tax department in a Supreme Court ruling that analysts said would encourage foreign investment and clear the way for the company's planned initial public offering in India.

India's reputation as an investment destination has taken a hit over the past year as the economy slowed, government reforms stalled and corruption scandals - notably in the telecoms industry - heightened concerns about government policies.

"All this talk about uncertainty for foreign investment, well, I hope for one area, this judgment clears the air," Harish Salve, one of India's top lawyers who argued for Vodafone in the case, said after the verdict was announced on Friday.

The tax demand was over Vodafone's $11 billion deal to buy Hutchison Whampoa Ltd's (HKSE:0013.HK - News0013.HK) Indian mobile business in 2007. The UK-based company had appealed to the Supreme Court after losing the case in the Bombay High Court in 2010.

The verdict, which sent Vodafone shares up as much as 2.5 percent in London, was a rare piece of positive news for foreign investors in India over the past few months.

Just last month, plans to open up the country's $450 billion retail sector to global supermarket operators were derailed by political opposition.

Investment proposals in India plunged 45 percent to a five-year low in 2011 as companies halted projects, many citing red tape and administrative gridlock, according to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy.

"I think it's a good decision," said Pranav Sayta, a tax partner, Ernst & Young. "It will help investments into India. It's definitely good for the industry. The confidence level on the Indian judicial process should certainly go up now."

"CAPITAL PUNISHMENT"

The demand for $2.2 billion in capital gains tax "would amount to imposing capital punishment for capital investment since it lacks authority of law...", K.S. Radhakrishnan, one of the three judges ruling on the case, said in his order.

The court ordered the tax office to refund to Vodafone with 4 percent interest the 25 billion rupees it had been asked to deposit pending a ruling.

Vodafone, the world's largest mobile operator by revenue, had argued that Indian tax authorities had no right to tax the transaction between two foreign entities.

Even if tax was due, the company had argued, it should be paid by the seller not the buyer.

Indian authorities had said the deal was liable for tax because most of the assets were in India and because under local tax law, buyers have to withhold capital gains tax liabilities and pay them to the government.

Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee told reporters he would study the court's judgment. He did not elaborate.

CUT-THROAT COMPETITION

Vodafone is the largest overseas corporate investor in India but has come to symbolise the perils foreign firms face doing business in the country.

The company has made India the centrepiece of its fast-growing emerging markets portfolio, designed to balance out slowing growth in more mature European territories.

But while it became India's third-largest mobile carrier by subscribers, Vodafone took an impairment charge of $3.56 billion on its Indian operations in 2010 due to cut-throat competition and skyrocketing spectrum costs.

Vodafone agreed to buy out Indian partner Essar Group for $5 billion last year, putting an end to their highly fractious relationship that had spilled over into the open.

"We are a committed long-term investor in India," Vodafone Chief Executive Vittorio Colao said in a statement after the court verdict. "We will continue to grow our Indian business -- including making significant investments in rural areas and in 3G network coverage," he said.

With more than 880 million mobile subscribers, India is the world's second-biggest telecoms market after China. Vodafone has about 148 million users in the country, making up a considerable chunk of its 400 million subscribers worldwide.

The once-booming market has struggled in recent years, however, as 15 companies engaged in fierce competition.

A massive telecoms licensing scandal that came to light in late 2010 has also dampened investor enthusiasm.

Vodafone has said it has plans to launch an initial public offering of shares in its Indian business but has not set a timeframe.

Robin Bienenstock, an analyst at Bernstein Research in London, said she expected Vodafone to announce an IPO for 30 percent of the Indian business later this year that could raise 3.4 billion pounds.

"The resolution ... will reassure investors, the majority of whom we think had resigned themselves to Vodafone being required to pay, and also to those who suspected that the final liability may have been greater than the original demand," Bienenstock said in a note.

Friday's ruling will also be welcomed by other multi-national companies that could potentially face tax issues in India over cross-border deals.

Last year, India's finance ministry said it was looking into whether Kraft Foods (NYSE:KFT -NewsKFT.N) would have to pay taxes to Indian authorities in its $19 billion takeover of Cadbury in 2010.

Global brewer SABMiller (LSE:SAB.L - NewsSAB.L) and AT&T Inc (NYSE:T - NewsT.N) are also involved in tax disputes in India, media reports have said.

EXCLUSIVE: Jodi Breakers Music Review

2012-01-19T23:36:00.000-08:00

First things first – last year the unexpected success of Tanu Weds Manu and the year prior, an unprecedented hit from the Yash Raj stable Band Baaja Baaraat spawned a mad rush of spin-offs.

If you look closely – Bittoo Boss has modeled itself on BBB’s loutish character of Ranveer Singh and Jodi Breakers takes a leaf from TWM – from poster design to Madhavan’s presence as lead – cannot entirely be incidental, him greenlighting a project on a similar theme of marriage. Though the makers promise a very hatke film, soon we’ll find out how Jodi Breakers borrows from our Hollywood bhai log. That’s in other news.
The music, composer Salim Merchant singing the opening track Kunwara, has us so ingrained in our memory as his voice for Ranveer Singh crooning Jigar Ka Tukda (Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl) that we can’t tell which one is better? Ek toh Salim’s unique talent for singing through his nose, and then all this Kunwara binness sounding so baasi – just look at the video picturisation – a roly poly Madhavan cavorting with semi nude firang chicks dressed in soap suds – really now, it can make anyone lose their shirt, barring Maddy

Could it get any worse after Kunwara? Bipasha Basu arrives with the eponymous song Bipasha – designed to raise a torch to her mirage like form – a bewitching beauty so far hidden from our lusty middle-east, slo-mo gaze. Which brings me to wonder if Kareena’s Bebo Main Bebo (Kambakht Ishq) actually had some spunk, or atleast it was a harebrained ditty to shake your ponytail to? Shradha Pandit sings, ‘I’m not so easy, I’m not so easy, you can never ever get Bi-pa-sha.’ We tried.

The first big award night of the year, the coveted Colors Screen Awards was a starry affair attended by the who's-who of Bollywood.

And as usual, no award night is complete sans starry tanturums and controversires, so even this night had it's own share of hullaballoo. From Salman being sidelined to Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara team boycotting the award ceremony - there was enough masala to talk about!

However, besides the serious stuff there were tonnes of endearing and entertaining moments as well.
