Return of 'Ba Bahu Aur Baby'!

'Baa Bahu Aur Baby' has returned!

The show of Hats off production had gained so much popularity in its first season, but somehow channel (star plus) kicked it like football. Show in first season used to be on air on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But whenever there would be some award show like star parivar or iifa, 'Baa bahu..' would be telecasted on another time or even cancelled. Show was then shifted to Saturday and Sunday. Frequently changing time of these show without any advertisement or notice made its loyal audiences disturbed as they could not keep track of the show.

Hope this time it doesn't get kick frequently.

This time the actress playing Leela is changed. Lubna Salim was doing fine job but somehow actress has been replaced. First episode of 'Baa Bahu..' made impression on me that the new heroine playing Leela bhabhi is not fit for this role as I have good impression of Lubna Salim (remember, the way she used to say, 'Ye to hona hi chahiye?' and 'kya Gattubhai, aap bhi?')

Even in first season, when character of Pravina was made to death by scriptwriters, I was disappointed because Vaishali Thakkar has masterly acted as Pravina. (She had acted superbly as vamp in 'Ek mahel ho sapno ka' also, do you remember?)

Lets wait for new actress getting fit in Leela Bhabhi's role.

The heroine who is often called bold girl in times of 70s and 80s is all set to make your memories live . Zeenat Aman will be seen

And that's not all friends, Zeenie is all set to strum the strings and recreate the magic of Chura Liya (Yaadon Ki Baraat)

Be it Rakhi or Rekha, successful marraige is doubtful!


Countdown has begun. Saturday is d-day. Many anxious viewers will witness Rakhi’s swayamwar coming to an end with marriage to Elesh Parujanwala. For fulfilling Rakhi’s demand that she will not abandon her work for sake of marriage, Elesh has agreed to settle down in Bharat.
But there is big question about success of marriage. However, there was question for marriage itself taking place. Two contestant who were eleminated from show, disclosed that there will be no marriage. It is just drama. When it will come to end, final contestant will be asked for choice between Rakhi and money and he will prefer for money.
As for now, it doesn’t seem that as per these abovesaid contestant’s claim, marriage will not take place. It will happen and with big hype. Bandbaje ke saath dhoomdham se shaadi hogi. Badi Nautankee hogi. Claims one source.
If you have seen film ‘Salaam-e-ishq’ then you can say, everything in Rakhi’s case is happening as per film. In the said film, Priyanka is an item girl. She does everything as per decided. One unknown person Salman suddenly claims to be her childhood boyfriend, then he proposes her. Tenu le ke main javanga. Tinu Anand, secretary of Priyanka explains her that she will get lots of publicity by this stunt and she agrees to him.
Now the question is what after marriage? Can she be just an ordinary housewife? No. She has straightly said no. She will not put an end to her career. And we have seen her behaviour with her boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi. No self respecting husband can live like Abhishek with Rakhi. Rakhi is overambitious.
We have also seen unsuccessful marriage of Rakhee Gulzar and Rekha. So, after some months, if we heard news of divorce of Rakhi, we shouldn’t get surprised.

The first Indian Television Wedding to be attended by the viewers


Grand welcome! Must say it really looked like the Indian Televisions biggest wedding ever that was held at RK Studios on Saturday, June 25th morning. Over 800 people from all across India came to attend the wedding and blessed the Pavitra Rishta couple.

No stone was left unturned to make the guests comfortable. Ostentatious reception, floral decoration all over, elaborate & authentic maharashtrian food, superb entertainment by L’il Champs’ kids and Dance India Dance winner, Salman Khan, really made everyone feel special at the ceremony. Proper arrangements were made to attend the guest. For ladies special arrangement for Mehniwali’s was made and male attendees couldn’t escape the pagdis being tied on them. Too royal a treatment….

For the first time in the history of Indian Television, a show’s wedding ceremony was connected directly to the live audiences in the form of a mega on-ground event. The response from its’ viewers has been humongous which is evident from the fact that so far more than 50000 sms have been received in response to the channel’s invitation to all its’ viewers for attending the wedding. The show’s ardent fans from various parts of country like Pune, Nasik, indore, Delhi, Kanpur, Amritsar, Lucknow, Rajkot to bless the newly weds.

Besides this, hundreds of enthusiasts attended the wedding from Mumbai. Interestingly, some innovative ways made this possible. Savita Prabhune aka ‘Sulochana’ (Archana’s mother in the show), commuted in a local train starting from Chatrapathi Shivaji Terminus to Dombivli Station to invite the fellow commuters for the wedding. On a Sunday morning, Sulochana personally visited viewers’ homes in different locations of Mumbai who welcomed her in the traditional Maharashtrian saree with haldi and kumkum and blessed her for the auspicious occasion. The show’s producer, Ekta Kapoor, herself visited Pune’s Dagru Seth Halwai Temple to seek blessings for Archana’s wedding and meet the fans in the city.

The families of Archana and Manav are enjoying this beautiful moment and are busy preparing for the wedding. Celebrations are in full swing, shopping on a high spree, Archana’s elder brother is into sky-scraping preparations; sisters all set to look hoity-toity, parents are more than happy to see all this go so smoothly. May heavens’ choicest blessings shower on this newly wed couple!

What's your rashee : Ga Ga Gayeja!


For some years, there is trend of minimal songs in film. Many films even have not a single song.
But in Hindi cinema, a film without song, as per my view, is like body without soul!
Remember, Rajshree's 'Maine Pyar Kiya' did not only bring back malodious music but also trend of more than 5 songs in a film!
Now, Ashutosh Gowarikar's 'What's your rashee' will revive this trend as it will have 13 songs!
You can guess length of film if it has 13 songs! But Ashutosh is known for lengthy but tight script. As he has very good music sense it is for sure that 'What's your rashee' will entertain musically also.

Oops! SRK did it agian!



Oops! Shahrukh did it again!
No! As you assume, there is no any hidden reference towards KJo! But here we are talking about Ashutosh Gowarikar who approached Shahrukh for his upcoming film and SRK starightly refused to work with ace director.

Remember? SRK refused 'Lagaan' script also and then Ashutosh went to Aamir and Aamir took risk to work with Ashutosh. He got succeed. After that SRK realized Ashutosh's talent and accepted to work with him. Result was 'Swadesh'! But alas! Though being a good film with good music it failed.

Probably that's the reason why SRK may be refusing Gowarikar's film! But don't forget SRK that Ashutosh has given last year mega hit like 'Jodha Akbar'.

Is Shahrukh mistaking again?

Bald Look!


Changing hairstyle has been trend since Amir’s new hairstyle in ‘Dil Chahta Hai’. From Amir to Shahrukh and Abhishek to Ajay Devgan, every actor is trying with new hairdo. But one man who rarely changed his hairstyle was Amitabh Bachchan! Yes was! Because he will be seen with new hairdo in his new film ‘Pa’.
Don’t believe?

Look yourself in pic. Yes, it is no one but Amitabh Bachchan. It is not first time Amitabh has gone bald! Before this, he was seen bald in ‘Coolie’. Don’t remember? Try to recall that famous song ‘Lambujee Lambujee’.



Pa is being directed by the ad whiz R. Balakrishnan (popularly known as 'Balki') and who had earlier directed the Big B-Tabu starrer Cheeni Kum. Even though every minute detail of this film is being kept under strict wraps, rumors have it that the film is about a child who ages much faster than any normal child would do. If you thought that the adjoining picture of Big B took the daylights out of you, then, let us tell you that the real surprise of the film lies in the fact that Amitabh Bachchan plays Abhishek Bachchan and Vidya Balan's son in the film.
