  • He is making his debut as a director with the upcoming Dabangg but he is not new to this industry in any way. Abhinav Kashyap assisted in the making of 2004 film Yuva; he wrote the dialogues for Manorama Six Feet Under and 13B, he also co-wrote the film Jung. All said and done, making a debut and that too with Salman Khan is definitely something to talk about and an experience worth recording. Creating a character like Chulbul Pandey and showcasing Sallu bhai in a never seen before avatar has taken the entire nation by storm. If we say it's the most awaited film till now, it would be a massive understatement. Bollywood Hungama gives all you Dabangg fans an exclusive opportunity to chat up with director Abhinav Kashyap. Log on to our celebrity video chat on Wednesday, September 8, at 1500 hrs IST and ask him all your questions! ]]>" target=_new> by Bollywood Hungama News Network
    
    
  • He is one of the senior most music composers of our industry who has given us some melodious music in films such as Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Mohabbatein to name a few. His latest composition 'Munni Badnaam Huyi' from the Salman Khan starrer Dabangg has already become a nationwide rage. He is none other than Lalit Pandit. Lalit will be live on Bollywood Hungama's video chat today, September 7, at 1700 hrs IST. So don't miss this chance of chatting with this talented music composer.]]>" target=_new> by Bollywood Hungama News Network
    
    
  • The Bheja Fry director Sagar Ballary is ready with three films, to be released one after the other in the next one year. Bheja Fry 2 is the one that is being most talked-about. Cutting down the controversy over the casting Ballary, currently shooting with director Madhur Bhandarkar for Hum Tum Aur Shabana says Rajat Kapoor was never meant to star in the sequel to Bheja Fry. "As in any ongoing series, only the character of the hero namely Bharat Bhushan played by Vinay Pathak would remain constant. All the rest of the characters, including Rajat Kapoor changes every time," explains Sagar. Sagar says the rumour about Rajat Kapoor opting out was spread by an actor who was sacked from Bheja Fry 2. "That actor thought that by spreading rumours about Rajat, she was covering her own tracks. I'm very happy to say Bheja Fry 2, as too my other two new films Nimbu Paani (for children) and Hum Tum Aur Shabana which I am shooting now are absolutely original. As for Bheja Fry it was inspired by a French film (Francis Veber's Dinner Game), no doubt. I am happy to see a new Hollywood film Dinner For Schmuks based on the same matter. If I may say so myself my Bheja Fry was far less slapstick than the Hollywood film." Sagar's new film Hum Tum Aur Shabana is partly set in the fashion world, and that's where Madhur Bhandarkar came in on Thursday. "We shot him on the ramp. He plays one of the judges at a beauty pageant. At the end he walks the ramp with the models."]]>" target=_new> by Subhash K. Jha
    
    
  • Picture this: A teenage youth watches his parents bickering and squabbling. This upsets him no end. He wants his parents' life to be perfect. He goes back into time. He lands up in the 1970s, the era when his parents were bachelors. The adventure begins... A super cool idea, isn't it? That's the gist of Vipul Shah's ACTION REPLAYY, which brings Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan together after a hiatus [after KHAKEE]. Remake of Vipul Shah's hugely successful play by the same name, ACTION REPLAYY seems to have loads of entertainment to offer, which has always been the film-maker's forte. In fact, the 15-minute showreel that this writer watched, besides the first promo that will be unveiled shortly, ACTION REPLAYY comes across as a film that's high on entertainment. Also, like OM SHANTI OM and ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI, ACTION REPLAYY projects the retro look - the 1970s era and ambience - with utmost élan. In fact, you can't help but get transported into the era within seconds of watching the showreel. Akshay and Ash carry the retro look with flourish and I am sure, it will be the talking point once the promos are launched. This Diwali, get ready to embrace two solid entertainers. Having watched the showreel of both ACTION REPLAYY and GOLMAAL 3, one can safely assume that this will be the best Diwali ever, in terms of business. Fingers crossed!]]>" target=_new> by Taran Adarsh
    
    
  • Okay, so everyone's speculating about the release date of Aamir Khan's DHOBI GHAT. Besides the fact that it's an Aamir Khan production and is directed by his wife Kiran, the film is being eyed minutely because it stars Aamir in a pivotal role. In the past, Aamir has released his movies in Christmas - TAARE ZAMEEN PAR [2007], GHAJINI [2008] and 3 IDIOTS [2009] - and it's said that Aamir will bring DHOBI GHAT this Christmas. But the truth is something else. Aamir is not releasing DHOBI GHAT on 24th December this year. In fact, he has finalized the month of release, but not the date of release of DHOBI GHAT. Aamir confirmed it to this writer: "We are thinking of February 2011 for DHOBI GHAT. Not locked the final date yet." That should put an end to all speculation... and those planning to release their films on 24th December this year, can heave a sigh of relief.]]>" target=_new> by Taran Adarsh
    
    
  • This is a follow up to the article 'Aishwarya Rai Bachchan signed up as brand ambassador of Danone?' reported on August 23, 2010. After the article got published, Aishwarya's publicist gave out a press release stating that she has not been signed up by the brand. The brand's spokesperson in India has also stated that Aishwarya was never approached by the brand. Bollywood Hungama, here, would like to clarify that, the question mark that had been added on the article, clearly indicated that it was just a market buzz that we reported. In no way, did we confirm this news or buzz, to be precise. And in order to 'authenticate' the market buzz, there were repeated attempts made to Danone's office numbers in India, which yielded no results. The said statement was posted as a questioning of the market buzz.]]>" target=_new> by Bollywood Hungama News Network
    
    
  • Gaurang Doshi who has been part of the Bollywood for quite sometime and has even produced Amitabh Bachchan-Akshay Kumar-Arjun Rampal starrer film Aankhen (2002) has been under self inflicted house arrest along with his house help since Wednesday. Doshi was to appear in front of the court for a dowry harassment case filed against him five years ago, failing which two uniformed men came to Doshi's apartment complex to arrest him. Fearing the arrest, Doshi hid in his house hoping that after a point in time the officials would give up and leave. He disconnected his phone, his doorbell and stayed in, in complete silence. Any attempts by the officials to call out to him, knock the door, shout at him were met with utter silence for the past four days. The officials can't break in simply because they don't have the warrant too and Doshi is making most of the situation. As a way to drive him out, the officials have now cut off the electricity and water supply, they hope that such a step would frustrate him and he would have to eventually come out. Doshi has stated over telephonic conversation that he is not in Mumbai but is in Delhi launching his next film. His wife however claims that he is still in the house hiding. In 2005 Doshi's wife, Madhuri, filed a case of cruelty and dowry harassment against her husband after 10 years of marriage. The trial is on at the Girgaum court but Doshi skipped the hearing after repeated summons. But now the court has issued a non-bailable warrant against him. In 2007, Flora Saini, an aspiring actress and model had filed a case against Doshi, alleging he sent her obscene text messages and even threatened her. He was then arrested by Oshiwara police for assault and rape before being released on bail.]]>" target=_new> by Bollywood Hungama News Network
    
    
  • She is someone who truly has acting in her genes. After all, she is the daughter of acting stalwarts Shatrughan and Punam Sinha.

  • Recent reports claimed that actor Asin had refused good friend Sridevi's film offer, citing date issues. The fact behind the story is that the actor was made no such offer. A spokesman from Boney Kapoor's film production unit said they are quite amused to learn about the report. Says Boney Kapoor, "We are working on the scripts of BE POSITIVE [the sequel to NO ENTRY] and MR. INDIA 2. I am not someone who will approach actors with an incomplete script. Let the script get completed, only then will I announce the star cast." Asin says, "I share great personal relations with Sridevi, Boney-ji and the entire family. I was shooting in Chennai when I heard about the report. That's just impossible."]]>" target=_new> by Taran Adarsh
    
    
  • Tonight, Colors, the leading entertainment channel, launches its brand new show, KHATRON KE KHILADI and along with it, a major promotional campaign of another show, BIG BOSS, will also take off. Yes, you read it right: The first promo of BIG BOSS, hosted by Salman Khan, will be launched tonite. Okay, why am I discussing KHATRON KE KHILADI and BIG BOSS? Let me explain. Colors have decided to launch eight new promos of BIG BOSS and all of them [yes, all eight] have been directed by Milan Luthria, the director of the recent hit ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI. Confirms Milan, "Yes, we had so much fun making the promos. The interesting part is, Salman will be sporting a new look in every promo. Also, each promo has been shot on a different set." Milan hasn't worked with Salman before, so how was it working with him for this ad campaign? "Great! We hit it off instantly. It was fun," he adds. Who recommended Milan Luthria for this ad campaign? "I was his [Salman] preference, but my name was recommended by Sunil Manchanda [SALAAM-E-ISHQ, CHEENI KUM] for this hi-profile campaign," Milan reveals. Has Salman watched ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI? "Not yet, but he has asked me to keep a screening for him. He has been travelling for DABANGG promotions, hence was hard-pressed for time. However, his family, including his father, have watched the film and loved it immensely," Milan says.]]>" target=_new> by Taran Adarsh

Golden Bird – India

Posted by AJ on 1st February 2008

Many times I have thought, is it true that some times back India was called “Golden Bird”? Was India truly to rich that everyone in world was willing to come to India? If all these are true then, how many years back was this situation? And the answer is here.

This statement of Lord Macaulay clearly states that before British government India had superior culture and education system. It was they who moulded our culture in such a way that we did what they wanted us to do.
Honestly I want to see India at this position again. And I think I can see that happening soon.
