Here's a sneak peek into a promo from the film Halla Bol starring Ajay Devgan and Vidya Balan, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. This video was taken from YouTube.
Halla Bol is about an actor whose conscience is activated due to some incident and he goes on to become a social activist taking on the government. Faintly based on the life of Theatre activist Safdar Hashmi. It is also said that the character of Ajay Devgan is based on Aamir Khan. So there! Aamir Khan rocks again.
Here's wishing Halla Bol a decent run at the box office. Not for any reason but just so that the new year begins on a positive note. All the best Halla Bol.

Latest News-Jodha Akbar delayed till April

1 comments

Jodha Akbar, starring Hritik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is probably the most awaited films of this year. But the jinx seems to be stronger than anyone has expected. The latest news is that fans will be able to see this magnum opus only in April. Ashutosh Gowariker's back is not getting any better and what with the post production work still remaining, the team will be able to make a final print only in March. But they cannot release it because of the exams of children during the period. So it will have to be either April or May. Well, patience has its virtues they say. Lets hope the jinx subsides and the film sees the light of the day and reaches where it is destined to reach. We pray for a speedy recovery for Ashutosh too.

Music Director RD Burman's 14th Death Anniversary

0 comments

Today is the 14th death anniversary of Music director RD Burman or Panchamda as he was fondly called by people who loved him. Everyone loved him. He became immortal right from his first film Chhote Nawab which Panchamda considered his best score ever.
RD Burman scored music for 331 films in 32 years. his timeless classics are still heard by the younger generation as there are a lot of remixed versions of his songs in the market. Although, RD went through a low phase when his last 27 films flopped and filmmakers started to avoid him, Panchamda came up with the fabulous score for 1942-A Love Story which starred Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and Manisha Koirala. This film rekindled his reputation as a genius composer.
Long live the Boss!


Here is a video of the song 'Mehbooba' from the superhit film Sholay on YouTube

‘How can I have an affair with Shahid Kapoor?’ says Vidya Balan

1 comments
Guess who is smiling wide after rumours of Jab We Met star Shahid Kapoor’s clandestine meeting with tennis icon Sania Mirza broke out? It’s Lage Raho Munnabhai’s Vidya Balan. She was heard saying, ‘how can I have an affair with Shahid Kapoor if he is dating Sania Mirza?’

Don’t gloat Ms Vidya, because as far as rumours go, Shahid is having an affair with every available girl. The latest on the Shahid Kapoor link-ups is Amrita Rao. Apparently Shahid enjoyed the movie ‘Welcome’ at a Bombay suburban cinema hall with Amrita Rao and guess what? Pankuj Kapoor and Supriya Pathak were also there with them. Hmm…makes you wonder what’s brewing, doesn’t it?

Shahid seems to be singing ‘Shaayad meri shaadi ka khayaal, dil mein aaya hai’? to every PYT after the break-up with Kareena Kapoor.

Last heard Vidya Balan was saying that she would love to work with the Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali. Hmm…now that is rubbing salt in the wounds of Ms Kareena Kapoor, don’t you think? First she takes her boyfriend and now she has eyes on her director.

Incidentally, Vidya Balan is all geared for ‘Halla Bol’- the film starring Ajay Devgan and herself. It is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and it is said to be a story based on the life of theatre activist Safdar Hashmi.

Its been sometime since a Rajkumar Santoshi film has made big news. Let’s hope the year 2008 starts on a positive note for Bollywood.

Benazir Bhutto was offered a Role in Bollywood

1 comments























The brutal assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan is indeed a black day in the history of Pakistan. All the democratic countries should and have condemned this attack on democracy. May God rest her soul in peace!

Well, her death has brought a lot of interesting tidbits of her life. Like this story I came across through a friend from the Indian Film Industry. Benazir Bhutto had been offered a Bollywood film way back in 1972, when she was a young girl.

She was just 18 when she visited India with her father, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who had come here for the historic Shimla talks in the wake of the India-Pakistan war in 1971. The film was offered to her by veteran comedian I.S. Johar. Of course, she refused the offer because she was never interested in the entertainment business though it did wonders for the career of I.S. Johar.

Well, I guess, Benazir Bhutto was made for something else. She was probably destined to be part of Pakistan politics and then die for it. God bless her soul!

Welcome 2008!!

So its official now. The year 2008 begins with a lot of hot and happening stories. First in the news is Shilpa Shetty, who got a renewed lease of life after her win in the reality television show, The Big Brother. Can you imagine, she has made an official announcement of her affair with a married NRI businessman by the name of Raj Kundra. I mean, how wannabe can one get?
Let's take a look at other news stories circulating on the first day of the year 2008.

Imtiaz Ali of Jab We Met fame is directing a film starring actor Saif Ali Khan which will also be produced by Saif Ali Khan. His hit film Jab We Met had Kareena Kapoor as heroine. Kareena Kapoor is the current girlfriend of Saif Ali Khan. So obviously, the new film will star Kareena with Saif, right? Wrong. Boss, Imtiaz has lost it right in the beginning of the new year. imagine taking money from the guy to direct a film and not taking his girlfriend as heroine. Guts, boss guts.

Aishwarya Rai still thinks that the world is keeping a watch on her every move. I mean the pregnancy issue is long forgotten ma'm Ash. The world has moved on. But try telling that to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! She is still going around giving statements that none of all that is true. Hmm, makes you wonder why she is going out of the way to deny something like that, eh?

Amitabh Bachchan is proud that Hollywood laughs at Indian films. He has been very vocal about the fact that he doesn't like his film industry to be called Bollywood. Fair enough. But then he goes and makes a statement that the west has started to accept Hindi films and the song and dance cinema that we make, even though they laugh at us.
Duh!! What is there to be proud of Mr Bachchan? The world has accepted the existence of Taliban and Al Qaeda too. So?

Krissh Director Rakesh Roshan is trying to make news by giving statements saying that he is doing a film without Hritik Roshan. (He is only producing it by the way) Bah! What's the big deal Mr. Roshan? Lots of people make films without Hritik Roshan.

Mahesh Bhatt/ Mukesh Bhatt
They always have to have the first and the last word, don't they?
Imagine making and releasing a film like- Showbiz?????Need I say more?

Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are still at it- Fighting each other over something. This time it is the dream role of Jhansi Ki Rani. Aishwarya Rai is signed to play the role in Ketan Mehta's film on Rani LaxmiBai and Sushmita Sen is producing her own film on Jhansi Ki Rani.

Talking about producers, Sony Pictures have not really learned anything from their disaster of a movie called Sawariyaa. They are announcing some more films in 2008. Well, guess some people just don't learn.

And if it is news we are talking about then how can Rakhi Sawant be left behind. Now imagine this. Item girl Rakhi Sawant was performing at the Tulip Star on the 31st December 2007. At the same time Bipasha Basu was performing at the JW Marriot. Comeon there is no comparison, is there? One is a mainstream heroine and the other at best an item girl. Sorry friends, you have got it all wrong. Tulip Star charged Rs. 16000 as entry fees and JW Marriot charged Rs. 12000 as entry. Guess, which hotel got more patrons? Rakhi Sawant at the Tulip Star. So the winner of the year 2007 is Rakhi Sawant.

Clap Clap Clap!!!

Welcome 2008!

Shahrukh Khan

Shahrukh Khan: Call him the Badshah, the King, or whatever but Shahrukh Khan is the undisputed Superstar of Bollywood, no doubt about that. One just has to see the kind of mad fan following he enjoys all over the world and one would wonder if he is an Indian Superstar or some Hollywood star?
Although one doesn't agree with the kind of films he has done or keeps doing, one cannot for a moment deny him the tag of the Shahenshah of Bollywood, purely for reasons commercial.
One thing is for sure, Bollywood needs a Shahrukh Khan and a Salman Khan as much as it needs an Aamir Khan and a Hritik Roshan. Bollywood wouldn't be what it is today without a Shahrukh Khan jostling for space with Aamir Khan at the top. It takes all kinds to make our industry what it is today.
Here are some articles written on the King Khan:
