Jul 06Amrita Arora dumps boy-friend(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...BollyWood Unsorted, Bollywood Gossip, Bollywood Rumors No Comments » Distance has finally taken its toll on Amrita Arora and her London-based English cricketer Usman Afzal. The couple mutually decided to go their separate ways after their strained realationship for the past few months. Says a source close to the actress, “It was a difficult break-up as both had been very committed for the last four years, but it was inevitable.” Amrita, though, tried hard to work out this relationship as she loved Afzal a lot but it wasn’t meant to be. There were no huge fights and melodrama but a quiet acceptance that both were now headed in two different directions.In an interview, the actress also confirmed the break up reports saying that the reports were true but she didn’t feel like talking about it. However, unlike the other glamorous break ups where a change of hearts often takes place, distance between these ex-lovebirds seems to have ruined this love affair. Besides the distance, Amrita’s alleged link up with upcoming model Sahil Shroff had reportedly not gone so well with Usman. Things turned further ugly when Amrita took off to shoot for a flick on Usman’s birthday. A close friends says, her only comfort is that her best friend Bebo is also there with her. As someone who’s had a long relationship break-up, the girls have something in common. Bebo is helping her cope as she understands what Amu is going through.Amrita has now immersed herself into her work. She has got good releases like Golmaal Returns and Kambakht Ishq and now wants to concentrate on her work. It seems it’s a career decision as much as a personal one.Jul 06Bipasha and Shilpa to come together(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...BollyWood Unsorted, Bollywood Gossip, Bollywood Rumors No Comments » We reported a while ago that former Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty was to become a producer, and today we can bring you news about her first project.

I eat a lot. And I am not embarrassed about it. I know it is kind of impossible to believe that I love eating and indulge in all my favorite foods whenever I get the chance, but that’s the honest truth.” Ash said to an unbelieving audience recently. But in public Ash exercises restraint so that people do not stare at her. At home she gives way to her weakness. The only time Ash had to diet was to prepare for the role in Dhoom 2 in which she had to cut her weight to a miniscule 54 kilos.“It was a painful experience. I had to be 54 kgs and so for a month I was on a strict diet. That was the most painful period for me. And to add to my misery, I had to work out” Ash remembered.At present Ash said she has a good metabolic rate and does not need to work out but she hits the gym a couple of times a week to keep fit. Reminiscing about her movies she says she looks well fed in most movies except ‘Dhoom 2’ in which she looks well toned. But ‘Dhoom 2’ brings back unpleasant memories of her dieting. Ash revealed that during the shooting of Sarkar Raj , the Bachchan family used to carry home cooked food. But Ash said, “ I love all cuisines. And any time is a good chow time.”Jul 06Katrina?s private birthday bash with Salman Khan(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...BollyWood Unsorted, Bollywood Gossip, Bollywood Rumors No Comments » While love couples make news for their love tattoos, their kissing drama and many more indepth love incidents, Salman-Katrina is one such couple that makes news for some slanderous activities, like their break-up, slapping inside van, at coffee shop etc. Those incidents have only made Salman fall below the eyes of his admirers.

Jul 05Singh Is Kinng(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...Bollywood Music No Comments » 'With big power comes bigger responsibility' is the saying that fits in perfectly well for a film like Singh Is Kinng. Reasons are aplenty, the stakes are really-really high and expectations have been unparalleled. Wanna reiterate the reasons? Well, this list is long. Read on. a) Singh Is Kinng is THE Akshay Kumar ever since Namastey London. Heyy Babyy was superhit but it also featured Riteish Deshmukh and Fardeen Khan. Bhool Bhulaiyaa was a superhit as well but left his fans asking for more, courtesy his entry only around the interval point. Welcome was a blockbuster but it was clearly dominated by Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar. And though Tashan had Akshay Kumar as the best part about it, in entirety the film made for a miserable viewing. No wonder, Singh Is Kinng turns out to be THE film for Akshay Kumar that would further reinforce his hold amongst the masses. Write your own music review of Singh Is Kinng b) Vipul Shah and Akshay Kumar. Together they have given Aankhen, Waqt and Namastey London. Singh Is Kinng is undoubtedly their biggest and most prestigious project together. c) The Anees Bazmee factor. He has a superhit No Entry and a blockbuster Welcome with Akshay. The expected super-success of Singh Is Kinng should bring Bazmee - the entertainer, into a different league altogether. default-300x250.tpl d) Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. After an average runner like Humko Deewana Kar Gaye, they haven't set a foot wrong with Namastey London and Welcome. Move over Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif is the new darling of the nation when it comes to being paired with Akshay Kumar! e) Title of the film - With one masterstroke, Akshay and company have attacked a bulk of the mass audience across the globe. There is no reason why a catchy title like this shouldn't promise a blockbuster start for the film across India, UK and USA. f) And of course Pritam, the man who is entrusted with the responsibility of creating music for the biggest film of his career so far. After a smash 2007, he has Race and Jannat ruling the charts for months now in the current year. Along with one of his favorite lyricists Mayur Puri, he must have been under huge pressure to deliver a kind of score which would cut across boundaries, work amongst all age groups and turn out to be a true-blue commercial masala entertainer. Does the team deliver? Does the album meet the sky high expectations? Does it justify all the hype surrounding it? Does it guarantee a success for those who have invested crores in the music and the film? Does it turn out to be a true 'paisa vasool' entertainer? The answer to that is, as you would have guessed by now, a solid YES! Thump. Now that's sheer thump what you witness in the title song 'Singh Is Kinng' that marks the opening of the album. The song in picture is not the one which is currently on promos (the Pritam version) but the much hyped Snoop Dogg version. A RDB track composed by Calvin Broadus with Surjeet Singh, Manjeet Ral and Kuljeet Ral, 'Singh Is Kinng' is one such chartbuster number that ensures that you don't have to worry much about what would follow next. And that's quite a saying considering the fact that the 5 tracks to follow are composed by Pritam which itself promises an entertaining ride. However, sheer beats which accompany 'Singh Is Kinng' (which brilliantly amalgamates Western and Indian style) make this number deserving enough to be heard and seen on the big screen, let aside your own state of art home theater/music system. It's the power in the composition which ensures that the song is a chartbuster in the first listening itself. Now the wait begins for the music video of this track which one expects to be a nothing short of being brilliant considering it also sees Akshay Kumar singing a few Punjabi lines in the middle of the proceedings. Does he do well? Oh, yes of course he does. From here on Pritam takes over and his tracks from this point ensures that it doesn't turn out to be the situation that one saw last in Humko Deewana Kar Gaye [Remember how Himesh Reshammiya's title song version had camouflaged the remainder of the album which was composed by Anu Malik?). In case of Singh Is Kinng, that won't be the case even by anyone's wildest imagination as Pritam gives a great account of himself and creates a sound that keeps the Punjabi flavor of Singh Is Kinng intact. This is very much visible in his song 'Jee Karda' which has one of his favorite and most successful singer Labh Jan Jua arriving on the scene. But before his arrival it is Suzie.Q who steals the scene with her English rendition. It is a trademark Pritam sound that opens 'Jee Karda' which soon brings the Punjabi flavor on. While Labh pumps up the jam and in the process gives Akshay Kumar yet another hit song, Suzie.Q continues to make her presence felt and adds on to the cute-sexy-glamorous image of Katrina Kaif. This is followed by the Hyacinth created 'remix version' which requires just 30 seconds to establish itself into the collection of the season for all up market DJs. If the original came with its own thump, this one only takes the effect forward and makes sure that if a dance floor is unavailable, you won't mind hopping on to your car and hitting the highway for a long ride! Now this one throws in a surprise. Pritam composed title song 'Bas Ek Kinng' isn't half as enthralling on being heard on TV. But hear it on a high volume on a music system and chances are good that the number would leave you on a high. The comparisons are obvious and the fact also remains that the Snoop Dogg title song is indeed better than this one but by itself, 'Bas Ek Kinng' does turn out to be a number which would make an impression on the big screen. Yet another number which has the 'thump' factor keeping the album's mood upbeat, it has singers of varied sensibilities - Mika Singh, Neeraj Sridhar, Ashish Pandit and Hard Kaur (for rap) - coming together! In fact the way Hard Kaur begins her rap for the 'remix version'; you know that it is going to be indeed different from the routine remixes. Termed as a 'Tiger Style Mix', this one turns out to be a better version and one now waits to see if the makers would opt for yet another music video here! Welcome to the North belt and the areas dominated by Punjabi in overseas! Daler Mehendi's 'Bhootni Ke' is so rooted to the Punjabi folks that one wonders whether Pritam had perhaps resided in Punjab to truly imbibe the culture, mood, folk and flavor of the state in his sound and then create the song! This one is foot tapping from the word 'Go' and is about a bunch of friends teasing the groom on his marriage. Mayur Puri's lyrics are perfect as per the situation and are witty while giving Pritam enough fodder to make sure that the song doesn't come with a single dull moment. Let the song's promotion begins and it should soon find a place amongst marriage processions and other festivities, at least up North! Later DJ Amyth arrives with his 'remix version' of the song and transports the song from the fields of Punjab to the discotheques in metros! Yes, this one works too! Surprisingly, after all the 'josh' created successfully by Daler Mehendi, the makers also incorporate a 'Tiger Style Mix' version by Mika. However, one wonders if this was indeed required as Daler version was in any case a winner and though in isolation the Mika version would have worked too, here it turns out to be 'just another' version! It's a complete about turn after four dance numbers with the arrival of romantic 'Teri Ore'. If you have liked 'Bol Na Halke Halke' [Jhoom Barabar Jhoom] and 'Falak' [Tashan], then chances are quite high that you would love 'Teri Ore' which has Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Shreya Ghoshal proving yet again that they are an unmatchable couple when it comes to delivering a romantic duet. The duo takes the listeners to the interiors of India which is distanced from the hustle-bustle of the city life and makes this well written Mayur Puri track a delightful hearing. Not to leave the urban audience behind, Clinton and Eric Pillai arrive with their own 'Lounge Mix' version and create a setting which would allow you to settle down on a couch with dim lights, a candle dinner and a bottle of wine! Yet again Shreya Ghoshal and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan demonstrate their standing in the music scene and ensure that when it comes to singing, it is sheer quality that attracts them! Pritam's lucky mascot Neeraj Sridhar arrives in the very end with whom he has given countless hits till date. This time around it's the time to get into a club with a demand for a drink and getting high while singing 'Talli Hua'. With Labh Janjua for company, Sridhar's 'Talli Hua' (that again has a strong Punjabi flavor) may not turn out to be another 'Teri Aankhen Bhool Bhulaiyaa' but still manage a good standing for itself to make Singh Is Kinng an overall package album that would be lapped up in dozens by the masses. A club number about friends making merry, it later sees a 'Jay Dhabi Mix' version with Style Bhai arriving after a long time with his rap. The add-on effect only aids in keeping the tempo high for this album that more or less stays consistent in the kind of sound which it brings with it. Singh Is Kinng boasts of being a chartbuster album - there are no doubts around it. While the 'Bas Ek Kinng' is already popular, the Snoop Dogg version of Singh Is Kinng would register tremendous hype for the film and the album once it is out. 'Bhootni Ke' and 'Jee Karda' are sure shot chartbusters which wouldn't take much time to be grabbed by the masses while 'Teri Ore' and 'Talli Hua' have all in it to be popular once the film releases and is accepted by the audience. The album is another highlight of Pritam's career and would ensure that his super-success run continues. Singh Is Kinng could have taken a bumper start at the music stands had it seen a uniform release across the globe. Since it has seen a scattered release both within and outside the country, it may not open at the #1 position that it truly deserves. However, in a week's time once the album is available all over, it would be time for the music company to uncork the champagne once it starts ruling the charts all over.

Jul 05Manisha to skip her movie releases next week(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...BollyWood Unsorted, Bollywood Gossip, Bollywood Rumors No Comments » Manisha Koirala is travelling so extensively with golfer-boyfriend Chris that she won’t be here on July 11 when her long-delayed lavish musical “Mehbooba” releases.The same day the Bengali and Hindi versions of Rituparno Ghosh’s “Khela”, featuring Manisha in the lead, are opening as well. Surprisingly, Manisha has not dubbed for either version of “Khela”, not even in Hindi. “She has been travelling extensively and we just couldn’t wait any longer,” “Manisha is the most easygoing, obedient, disciplined and hassle-free actress I’ve worked with. Believe me, I’ve worked with the most temperamental Bengali actresses in the world. I had heard Manisha is difficult. Not true at all. She just surrendered to my vision.”Ajay Devgan used to tell me Manisha is like a man on the sets. She gets ready for a shot in three minutes. I’ve worked with actresses who have failed to get ready even after three hours of makeup,” Ghosh added.Ghosh is, in fact, planning another film with Manisha.”She’s so lovely and I know exactly what I want to do with her in my next film. In ‘Khela’, she has a very interesting role as the neglected wife of a self-centred actor (played by Prosenjeet).””Khela” is Ritu’s first film with a child at the centre of the story. “It’s about a film unit that wants a particular child for a role. When the parents refuse, the boy gets in touch with the film’s hero and suggests they kidnap him because he wants to do the film. The hero (Prosenjeet) and the film’s art director (Raima Sen) do just that.””Khela” will be Ghosh’s first Hindi-Bengali bilingual. But he has another one, “Sunglass”, coming up very soon.”That was like making two different films because the male lead in Hindi is R. Madhavan and in Bengali it is Tota Roy-Chowdhary.”Jul 05Akshay Kumar and Sajid USP of new Hindi channel Colors(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...BollyWood Unsorted, Bollywood Gossip, Bollywood Rumors No Comments » A couple cycled into the hall, a young girl dressed as a bride came in a ‘palki’ and a group of people shouted “Vande Mataram” in unison - this is not the description of a theatre performance but the launch event of the new entertainment channel Colors. The event held here Thursday was to announce new General Entertainment Channel (GEC) Colors - a joint venture between entertainment company Viacom Inc and India’s media conglomerate Network 18 Group. The shows on the channel, launching July 21, range across genres - fiction, family dramas, chat shows, reality shows and some blockbuster Hindi movies. One highlight of the channel would be “Fear Factor- Khatron Ke Khiladi”, which has 13 female Bollywood celebrities playing contestants. Bollywood star Akshay Kumar will host it. Another highlight would be a chat show by Sajid Khan, titled “Sajid’s Superstars”.“We had done a lot of research on market concepts to see what sells and what does not to get an idea of what people want,” Rajesh Kamat, chief executive officer, But why should the audience watch Colors when there are already so many channels running soaps and other entertainment programmes? “It is a household channel. There is a mythological show, Indian version of ‘Fear Factor’, which would cater to the youth. We have put ‘Fear Factor’ at the 10:00 p.m. slot on weekdays. People who watch ’saas-bahu’ might just shift attention from it to watch ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’.” The channel is being aggressively advertised in 20 cities across the country and Kamat claimed that every possible media vehicle has been used.Jul 05Aamir Khan and Vikram Bhatt?s Bond of Friendship(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...BollyWood Unsorted, Bollywood Gossip, Bollywood Rumors No Comments » Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and director Vikram Bhatt’s comradeship goes back a long way and that is why the former agreed to play the trailers of his friend’s next film “1920? with his home production “Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na” that released Friday.

The role is about the life of a 26-year-old and Shah Rukh is 40 plus. It doesn’t suit him,”But Mirza has his other blue-eyed actor Juhi Chawla in a supporting role. “Juhi does a little cameo role in the film. She has done it exceptionally well and I am very happy with her,” he said. Shahid Kapur, known for his chocolate boy looks, was Mirza’s choice to play the protagonist opposite Vidya Balan. But this pairing has come under much criticism. But the seasoned director insists they make a good pair. “If they would not have paired well, why would have I cast them together?“Shahid and Vidya look very nice in the film and that is the reason why I’ve cast them. I come from a socio-political background and I have made the film keeping my sensibilities in mind.There were media reports about Vidya looking too “mature” for Shahid, but Mirza rubbishes them all.“I don’t think she looks old. It’s the media image that has been created after her role in ‘Parineeta’ and probably that’s stuck on to her,” he said.“Kismet Konnection”, which releases July 18, is the story of an architect running out of luck and how he meets a girl who becomes his lucky charm.Mirza, who has earlier made movies like “Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman”, “Yes Boss”, “Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani” and “Chalte Chalte”, took a hiatus from the film industry after his wife’s death but returned last year to announce this venture.“I have been out for a long time. It is my children who asked me to come back. I was working on some other scripts, but when my daughter shared the script of this film. I asked her to work on it,” Mirza said.The director thinks the film is truly unusual and says it was made almost effortlessly.“Somehow I feel that the film was destined to be made. From the time we got ourselves involved in it to the release, it is happening all on its own,” he said.Jul 05?Jaane Tu ya Jaane Naa’ takes a flying start(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...BollyWood Unsorted, Bollywood Gossip, Bollywood Rumors No Comments » Box-office throws a lot of surprises and that’s the beauty of this business.
