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.

It is resurging from 'Raakh'!

Do you remember a film named 'Raakh'?
Do you remember star called Aamir Khan acted in it?

You might say, Ah! When was such a film released?

But those who used to keep track of bollywood films might remember this -came and passed-film 'Raakh'. 

The big news is that it is going to be rereleased after 20 years! 

Raakh was came out in 1989 to critical acclaim and was widely covered by the film critics in the media. It was a project of great importance for many of the cast and crew members who made their debut with this movie. When we contacted Sangeeth Sivan, the Executive Producer of the film, he said, "The entire film is shot like it's a home video. It does star Aamir in the lead, though it is a bit dark."

The movie acted as a crucial platform for many debutants like Aamir Khan, Santosh Sivan (Cinematographer), Sreekar Prasad (Editor), , Aditya Bhattacharya (Director) & Asif Noor (Producer) all of who were under 30 years of age at the time. The commendable fact is that Aditya Bhattacharya, who just 23 then, became the youngest director of Bollywood at that time winning the Best Directorial debut award from the Bengal Film Journalists' Association.

Raakh deals with an Indian Metropolis that is decaying, lawless and tragically corrupt. A typical party ends in untypical violence. Aamir is awkwardly sensitive and inarticulate. Supriya Pathak, the poised distant girl whom Aamir loves with mad desperation, is gang raped. She is a survivor. Disillusioned and practical, she rules out revenge. Supriya has now grown beyond Aamir. Aamir, driven by impotent rage, hesitantly approaches the law. Only to learn that the rapists are the ruling mafia clan whom neither he nor the police can touch while he is violently uprooted from his safe, if lonely, upper class home. Thus begins the chaotic journey that takes him into the precarious outer world. Here, his only friend, a street urchin offers him mute sympathy until Pankaj Kapur- an embittered cop - cynical witness to the first outrage is goaded by his anesthetized conscience to search out Aamir. An adolescent seeking manhood and the older man seeking his lost innocence come together...

The rights for the film Raakh which were originally with the director, Aditya Bhattacharya, have been purchased by Audacity International and Storm. Initially though, Sangeeth Sivan and Asif Noor, the producers of the film, had planned on launching the film on a collectors DVD. However, after purchasing the rights for the same, Audacity International has reworked on the original reels and has digitally re-mastered it. Raakh is all set to re-release on the 12th of June. 

No hassels! These days are dry days anyway as dispute between multiplex owners and producers is not solved yet. 

Orange Dikha To Munh Bola : Asin and Genelia!

With Mirinda ad, Asin has entered in Hindi ad. world. The ad. is quite hillarious going with image of Asin, emerged after ‘Ghajini’. Its catchline is, ‘orange dikha to munh bola, Mirinda’. 

But now competitor Fanta has put young heartthrob Genelia D’souza. 

While Asin has been brand ambassador of Mirinda for last three years while Genelia has become Fanta brand embassador from this year. This fact is regarding with branding orange drinks in Tamilnadu where 25 percent of the total orange soft drink market in the country is consumed. 

Wait and watch for who will be emerging as winner?

Another Desai!

It's after long time, someone from Manmohan Desai's family, a great entertainer,is coming with films! Nope. It's not Ketan Desai, the famous producer-director's son. It's Vaishali Desai, Manjee's grand niece.

She has brought up in Banglore. She has graduated in psychology. She won the Indian title of Miss International 2005. Vaishali was seen first in a Ponds commercial after which she did a Tanishq commercial followed by an Indian Oil Campaign. She was then seen in a Compaq laptop ad and in the very famous Raymond ad and is now being seen in another Tanishq ad with Nafisa ali.

Vaishali's first film Kal kisne dekha is sloted to be released on 1 May 2009 depended upon producers as well as multiplexes strike. With Vaishali, one more star son will foray in Hindi film industry, famously called Bollywood. It is Jacki Bhagnani. He is son of producer Vashu Bhagnani who has produced hit films like 'Coolie No.1', 'Hero No.1', 'Biwi No. 1', 'Mujhe Kuchh Kehna Hai'.

Vaishali will be another desai heroine as Prachi Desai ('Rock on' fame) has been already there to push back Kareenas and Priyankas!

Rimi Sen and Sneha Ullal come back after two years!

This friday, on 9th Jan. 2009, cinelovers will witness return of two beautiful actresses who were in very much news some years before.
Who are they?
They are Rimi Sen and Sneha Ullal. You will say, we know Rimi Sen very well. She is daughter of gorgeous actress Moon Moon Sen but that is not case with the other one.
Boss, you are wrong. Many people mix up identities when there come names of Sen actresses. Riya Sen and Raima Sen are daughters of Moon moon Sen, but Rimi and Rima are non star child actresses.
If you try to recall, before Katrina Kaif got title of ‘Lucky Mascot’ girl, it was Rimi who got this title. Like Katrina, Rimi has also not special or good acting skills, but her presence was lucky enough to make film hit. Be it ‘Baghban’ or ‘Dhoom’ or ‘Phir Hera Pheri’. She was also known as Comedy film director Priyadarshan’s favourite heroine.
But after appearing in not so good film at box office, ‘Johny Gaddar’, Rimi disappeared from the picture. She was not in the news, good or bad, since 2007.
Now on this friday, her first film in the year 2009, ‘Horn Ok Pleassss’ is going to be released. She will be playing double role, first ever in her career, in this film. She is paired against Nana Patekar and Muzzamil Ibrahim, who was lastly seen in Pooja Bhatt directed ‘Dhoka’ (Actually it should be ‘Dhokha’, but as more priority is given to numerology, spelling is doctored.). As name suggests, film is of comey genre. This will be Rimi’s second film with Nana Patekar. Before this, she had worked with Nana in ‘Hattrick’.
Talking about Sneha Ullal, she was considered as look a like of Aishwarya Rai. Salman had identified her. That was the period when Aish had broken up with Salman Khan. Salman was very hearted. He discovered Sneha Ullal and thus Sneha got ‘Lucky-no time for love’. Though, film bombed at box office, but its songs, of which music rendered by Adnan Sami, have been hit and are melodious. After that Sneha was seen in ‘Aryan’, pairing aginst Sohail Khan, younger brother of Salman. Film was good promoted, but it took a long time to get released. Film did not get even noticed.
After ‘Aryan’ Sneha turned towards south and started doing south indian films. But there are no news about she getting success in south.
So, watch out this friday for come back of these two beautiful actresses!
