Rishi Kapoor slams Abhijeet over ‘insensitive’ tweets after Salman Khan verdict

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 08 May 2015 04:11:00 +0000

Bollywood veteran actor Rishi Kapoor was among the first few to tweet in support of Salman Khan after the verdict in 2002 hit-and-run case was announced. The actor had written: “The Kapoors are with the Khans in their difficult time. Time is the biggest healer. God Bless!”
However, he took exception to singer Abhijeet Bhatacharya‘s rather bizarre Twitter posts where he blamed the accident victim for ‘sleeping on the road and getting killed.’

In a series of tweets, Rishi Kapoor said ‘wannabe Chamchas of Salman siding him with ridiculous support.’ Salman was found guilty of all the eight charges including culpable homicide in the 2002 hit-and-run case and has been sentenced to five years in jail.
Here are Rishi Kapoor’s tweets:

Angelina Jolie has double mastectomy to reduce risk of breast cancer

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 14 May 2013 15:53:00 +0000

LONDON Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has had a double mastectomy to reduce her chances of getting breast cancer and says she hopes her story will inspire other women fighting the life-threatening disease. Jolie wrote in the New York Times on Tuesday the operation had made it easier for her to reassure her six children that she will not die young from cancer, like her own mother did at 56.

"We often speak of 'Mommy's mommy', and I find myself trying to explain the illness that took her away from us. They have asked if the same could happen to me," wrote Jolie, 37. "I have always told them not to worry, but the truth is I carry a 'faulty' gene."

The Oscar-winning actress said her doctors had estimated she had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer. "Once I knew this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much as I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy," she said. Partner and fellow Hollywood star Brad Pitt was by Jolie's side through three months of treatment that ended late in April, she said. The two got engaged last year.

Jolie said that even though she had kept silent about her treatment while it was going on, she hoped her story would now help other women. "I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that they, too, will be able to get gene tested." Breast cancer alone kills about 458,000 people each year, according to the World Health Organization. It is estimated that one in 300 to one in 500 women carry a BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 gene mutation, as Jolie does.

OPENNESS PRAISED CNN anchorccannounced on Tuesday that she had breast cancer and was also getting a double mastectomy. Sambolin, who anchors CNN's "Early Start" morning show, discussed her condition on the show while talking about Jolie's procedure. "I struggled for weeks trying to figure out how tell you that I had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was leaving to have surgery,"

Sambolin, 47, said on Facebook. "Then ... Angelina Jolie shares her story of a double mastectomy and gives me strength and an opening." Jolie's decision was also welcomed by breast cancer patients and charities. Richard Francis, head of research at the Breakthrough Breast Cancer charity in Britain, said it demonstrated the importance of educating women with the gene fault.

"For women like Angelina it's important that they are made fully aware of all the options that are available, including risk-reducing surgery and extra breast screening," Francis told Reuters. Breast Cancer Campaign Chief Executive Baroness Delyth Morgan said Jolie's openness in talking about her experience and her decision to have surgery would raise awareness of the disease and its risk. Jolie won a 1999 best supporting actress Oscar for "Girl, Interrupted".

She lends her star power to a range of humanitarian campaigns, including serving more than 10 years as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. In April, she urged governments to step up efforts to bring wartime sex offenders to justice.

Sonam Kapoor turns to fashion Desiner

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 11:28:00 +0000

The actress, who delivered the biggest hit of her career with I HATE LUV STORYS, sure seems to have some hidden talents as her friend, Kunal reveals. "Sonam is a multi-tasker and she has multiple talents. The fact that her father-sister duo is producing the film gave her a lot of creative freedom and the power to implement them. In fact, I was amazed by Sonam's fashion sense and her understanding of the adorable characters in the film," admits Kunal Rawal, who is an accomplished high-end designer.

CHECK OUT: Sonam Kapoor's style mess

She may have rubbished co-star Abhay's intelligent image but the actress sure knows her pr�t and her haute couture. And having an upcoming rising star like Kunal as her friend helped her a lot in helping Abhay don a highly stylised look making him the next hunk in town. After doing films, which have been appreciated for his performances, now Abhay is paying some attention to style too and the duo of Kunal Rawal and Sonam Kapoor are his partners in crime.

Kunal has designed the looks for the male leads (Abhay Deol, Arunoday Singh and Cyrus Sahukar) for the movie AISHA (an adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Emma') by Anil Kapoor Films Company production. In the romantic film, AISHA, where Abhay Deol plays Arjun Barman (an investment banker), designer Kunal Rawal says that his brief was to style Abhay according to his profession. "Abhay is a clotheshorse. His character is the perfect dresser. Strait-laced yet fun and casual but his outfits are slightly slicker. He's every girl's dream. We have given Abhay suits in mixed subtle colors, suits without belts, vintage tie clips, vintage YSL belts from New York in contrasting colors. Arjun loves his brown belts and shoes."

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Review: the return of the era of gangster’s movie
By Kriti Pandey - Monday, July 26th, 2010 5:26 pm

Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai
Director: Milan Luthria, Producer: Ekta Kapoor,Shobha Kapoor, Release Date: July 30, 2010, Language: Hindi, Genre: Action / Romance, Star Cast: Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Kangna Ranaut,Prachi Desai,Randeep Hooda,Gauhar Khan,Avtar Gill,Naved Aslam,Sanjeev Wilson,Mehul Bhojak,Ravi Khanwilkar,Amy Kingston

Movie Review : Once upon a Time In mumbaai talks about an era which takes us back through the memory lane in to the abyss of the mafia world ruling Mumbai in the 80’s when Mumbai breathed terror all the time. According to media speculations the move centers on the lives of Dawood Ibrahim and Haji Mastan who were the order of the day at that time. The movie directors, spokesmen and disclaimer all claim that it has no inspiration from any person’s life and that the similarities are mere co incidences but the parallels are too distinct too ignore.

The quality of the movie lies that besides the powerful storyline of the rising of the prince and the falling of the reigning King, the music of the movie does the wonders for the audience. The compositions are just awe-binding.

Set in the era of 1970s the movie tracks the careers of two famous gangsters Sultan Mirza palyed by Ajay Devgan and his recipient in line Shoaib Khan a classic character played by Emraan Hashmi and then their conflicts, which ensues when Shoaib challenges his protector and claims to rule the underworld of Mumbai is simply marvelous.

Director Milan Luthria’s has worked extensively for the movie which is completely visible in performances of the lead gangster’s as well as Randeep hooda as the tale narrating police officer, the jewellery shop romantic scenes from Prachi’s and Emraan conflicts with Ajay.
Pritam’s music is already rising up the charts doing the trick for the movie. The on screening pair of Ajay and Kangana ( a 70’s actress) is replete with amazing chemistry. And added to this romance is the pair of Prachi and Emraan.

Milenge Milenge Movie Reviews

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:54:00 +0000

Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor ,Satish Kaushik ,Satish Shah ,Aarti Chhabria ,Delnaaz Paul,Kirron Kher , Himani Shivpuri

Director: Satish Kaushik

Milenge Milenge - Agar tum time par aaye to…

Kareena Kapoor plays Priya, an orphan who believes in tarot cards, destiny and all that jazz. During a visit to the tarot card reader (Kirron Kher) she comes to know the date when she'd meet her soul mate. Enter Immy (Shahid Kapoor),having all the qualities the tarot card reader said Priya's love wouldn't have…like lying, smoking, drinking alcohol etc. However, having chanced upon the gorgeous Priya's diary he tries to fake it out as her 'destined guy'.

However, as predicted his facade soon falls off and a miffed Priya leaves him saying if they're truly destined they will get back in touch. How? She asks Immy to write his name and number on a currency note. She writes her name and number in a book. If the note finds a way back to her, or the book to him, they are 'meant' to be in love. Sounds familiar? Yes, serendipity!

There are two things that go against Milenge Milenge in a very bad way.

One that it's not at all contemporary. Anything and everything about the film is outdated. Dialogues are ancient! It seems as if it was made for another era's college students who have now grown up and won't relate to it. They may go all nostalgic, maybe. And the movie has nothing that can make the present generation of youngsters to relate with. Heck, the leads don't even use cellphones!

The second thing that goes against the film is that the script and screenplay is not original. Okay, we're not against adaptations or remakes if it's done tastefully. But this film just makes you go 'why'?

The music doesn't help either.

As a consolation- there are some moments of genuine comedy. Like, when Shahid and his friends dress up as girls to go to the hostel. It may be cliched but it's a tried and tested way of eliciting laughter and it doesn't fail this time either.

Shahid Kapoor looks adorable. Young full of zest, peppy. He is all energy. Kareena Kapoor looks curvy…although it's a pity they haven't been brought out well by her several seasons old costumes. The chemistry between the two is not all sparks but dewy and delicate. Kind of sweet! Both have justified their characters within the limits of the scope given to them.

Satish Kaushik and Satish Shah are typically themselves. Aarti Chhabria at times looks like a tart. Delnaz Paul is convincing. Kirron Kher looks apt. Himani Shivpuri is good.

If you're a diehard fan of Shahid-Kareena then maybe, you'll like this film. Or else I suggest you'd rather wait for the DVD.

KHATTA MEETHA

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:40:00 +0000

Akshay Kumar as Sachin Tichkule.

Trisha Krishnan as Gehna Ganpule.

Makrand Dashpande as Azad Bhagat.

Rajpal Yadav as Rangeela.

The Crew:
Producer: Akshay Kumar, Vijay Kumar
Director: Priyadarshan
Lyricist: Irshad Kamil, Shehzad Roy, Nitin Raikwar
Music Director:
Art: Sabu Cyril
Sachin Tichkule (Akshay Kumar) is a struggling Road contractor and he is very desperate to be successful in a society that is tilted deeply towards the corrupt, the mean, the selfish and the law breakers

Even though Khatta Meetha is a remake of the 1989 film Vellanakalude, it is also based on the murder of PWD engineer Yogendra Pandey from Bihar who was killed by the road mafia in 2009.

However, Khatta Meetha is not as serious as the basis for the plotline. Akshay plays the role of Sachin Tichkule, a struggling road contractor who seems to have no luck in making it big in show business. In order to make it big you need money to bribe people with - which Sachin has none of! What makes matters worse is that the municipal commissioner that Sachin works for turns out to be his ex girlfriend, played by Trisha, who now hates him!

Throughout the movie it seems like Sachin simply has the worst luck ever. As Sachin swerves his way from one disaster to the next, the film reveals the extent of corruption and bribery in the system. Sachin displays how to work the system in order to get where he needs to be.

What Worked:
Akshay Kumar is and always will be a good actor. His on-screen chemistry with newbie Trisha Krishnan works just fine and there are a few funny scenes that actually hold up the movie.

What Didn't:
The makers of Khatta Meetha should have focused more on getting the story straight. Or getting a story at all. The topic of corruption has been dealt with many times and this movie just doesn't stand out in a crowd.

Slated or Rated:
Watching this movie is definitely more Khatta than Meetha; the jokes in this flick - that is supposed to be funny - mostly fall flat and the film certainly lacks a solid story. If you're going to make a satire, the jokes need to fall in place and not be all over the place amid chaotic screaming.

Director Rahul Dholakia
Producer Bunty Walia, Jaspreet Singh Walia
Starring Sanjay Dutt, Bipasha Basu, Kunal Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Mahesh Manjrekar, Shernaz Patel, Yashpal Sharma, Vipin Sharma, Aman Verma, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Rajesh Khera, Murli Sharma, Jyoti Dogra, Denzil Smith, Yuri Suri, Ehsaan Khan

Lamhaa directed by Rahul Dholakia is a film about Kashmir. The film tries to touch upon many issues, from scheming politicians, to the appalling condition of the army men, to sex scandals, and what not thus ending up being convoluted. The film has been in the buzz from quite a long time.

The film opens with Indian Military Intelligence suspecting a plot to disrupt and paralyze Kashmir and an attempt to do a successful repeat of what was a failed attempt in 1989. That's breaking of the state of Kashmir away from India, hand in glove with Pakistan. A retired paramilitary commando Vikram (Sanjay Dutt) is sent to investigate and avert it.

In Kashmir, he goes undercover posing as press photographer Gul Jehangir. Haji (Anupam Kher) an influential separatist leader has had 17 attempts on his life so far in the last 18 years and Vikram through his sources concludes that last attempt on his life was an insider's job. He succeeds in gaining the trust of Haji's protege Aziza (Bipasha Basu) and convinces her that there is another attack planned on his life.

Atif (Kunal Kapoor) a former militant and love interest of Aziza who has had a fall out with Haji hopes to bring peace to the valley by participating in the upcoming state elections. But then as Vikram digs further he realizes the mess has only got deeper. Nothing is actually what it seems and there is hardly any one who can be trusted.

LAMHAA
First things first! Lamhaa has been filmed in Kashmir and you're awe-struck by its beauty, with DoP James Fowlds doing a splendid job in capturing the scenic locales on celluloid. The constant shaking of the camera also gives a real feel. Unfortunately, Lamhaa, though controversial in nature, merely touches the tip of the issue, instead of going all-out and narrating a story that offers reasons and perhaps, a solution to the crisis.

Performance wise, Sanjay Dutt is decent in the film but his character seems shallow. Bipasha Basu is pretty convincing in her de-glam avatar. Kunal Kapoor is good but falters while delivering his political speeches. Anupam Kher is impeccable.

On the whole, Apart from bringing some already prevailing issues of Kashmir to the big screen, Lamhaa doesn't offer much to rave about.

Dimpy Ganguly accepted that she is deeply in love with Rahul Mahajan in an interview by Hindustan Times. Her fate will be decided by Rahul Mahajan tonight (March 6, 2010). Check out, Dimpy Ganguly's interview before the Grand Finale by Rachna Dubey.

Seems like you're already in love.Rahul can make anyone fall in love with him, even if she thinks she doesn't want to fall for him.But there's a 13-year age gap between you and him...I don't think or sound like a 21-year-old.

I can sense Rahul and I will get along well despite our age difference.Doesn't your family have a problem with a pending court case against him and his divorcee status?It was my decision to participate in the show.

My father was the most apprehensive of the lot. But when he met Rahul, he was convinced he is a nice guy.Your co-contestants felt you played it smart.I've heard what they had to say about me behind my back. It's not in good taste. Read more:
