Movie Review :- Oh My God

Movie Review :- Oh My God

Straight on, OMG is Paresh Rawal's movie - and one of his best. Akshay Kumar plays a small and sacred role but OMG is largely powered by Rawal's performance as Kanjilal Mehta, a cynical Gujarati shopkeeper in Mumbai's Chor Bazaar, hardcore atheist who merrily dupes the believing into buying Krishna statues before whom Kanji trills, "Kootchie kootchie, natkhat!" The atheist even disrupts a matki phoro ceremony for Krishna where, despite a cracking guest performance by Sonakshi Sinha and Prabhudeva to 'Go-Go-Go-Govinda' - watch the latter's buttery moves and the former's rock-chick hair - Kanjilal rains on the party. 

 

An earthquake follows, reducing just one shop to rubble - Kanjilal's. His insurance company refuses to pay, citing an act of God. Facing ruin, Kanji takes God - as represented by 'collection officers', religious leaders Swami Leeladhar (Chakrabarty, super), Siddheshwar (Namdeo, hamming it up to Italian deli-level) and sexy sanyasin Mata Gopi (Poonam Jhawar) - to court demanding compensation. Goons try to kill Kanji - but 'consultant' Krishna Vasudev Yadav saves him via a thrilling motorbike ride - then moves into his house. The trial circles deep philosophy, yet tongues stay firmly in cheek as Kanji tells the outraged swamis, "Ye mujhe kya Gita sikhayenge - inka IQ room temperature se bhi low hai."

Movie Review :- Kamaal Dhamaal Malamaal

Rewind to two friends, David (Om Puri) and Peter's (Paresh Rawal)fallout, where David went on to marry Mary (Peter's sweetheart), and they both settled in the same damned village; with the burning issue being a 22-carat gold 'cross' stolen from the church (for Christ's sake!). David's son, Johnny (Shreyas), called Bakri by all (since he lacks 'balls' and bheja; bleat, bleat!), is in love with Peter's daughter, Maria ( Madhhurima), who has a female bodyguard called Bulbul Pehelwan(Pratima Kazmi), total Dabangg Sallu-style. And while his cranky, overworked baap digs away (like a Mumbai BMC labourer on a normal day) at the barren land; Bakri dreams of being a crorepati soon, by collecting lottery tickets. Enter the silent, brooding, hungry-man-with-no-name (Nana Patekar), who is probably David's long-lost son (Amen!) or maybe not? He eats like a beast and digs like miner (probably looking for missing parts of

Movie Review :-  Kismat Love Paisa Dilli

This one's no 'stand-up' comedy. Neither will any part of you feel like giving it a standing ovation. This is as much of a dhoka, as the slang version of KLPD actually suggests. It is a string of episodes, part slap-stick, part-ridiculous, part comedy (the smallest part, of course) that all happens in one long night. It starts right here. 


At a fashion show called En'gay'ged 377 (corny!) hosted by legendary 'man-eater', Rohit Pichwadia (hinting at some back-door activity, if you didn't get it), where Lucky ( Vivek Oberoi) lands up to help his buddy shoot the event. He ends up spiking drinks by peeing into it (say it... yucks!), and falling for Lovina (Mallika Sherawat). He follows her into the night, where one by one the nocturnal

It was my dream to work with SRK : Katrina Kaif

SHAHRUKH KHAN, KATRINA KAIF

Katrina Kaif has teamed up with Yash Chopra for Jab Tak Hain Jaan and says that the veteran filmmaker should drop the idea of retirement as he still has the zeal to make amazing cinema."I don't think he should retire. He has an amazing sense of emotion and passion for cinema. I think it will be sad. He is a legend and I don't think anyone can match him up," she said at the launch of song Saans from the film here Tuesday.

On his 80th birthday, Chopra had announced that Jab Tak Hain Jaan will be his last film as director.

Talking about her experience with Chopra, Katrina said she was shooting a difficult scene and everyone was trying to explain how to do it, but the filmmaker started cracking jokes to lighten the mood.

Alia Bhatt has a crush on Ranbir Kapoor

Alia & Ranbir Kapoor

Actress Alia Bhatt confesses she has a huge crush on actor Ranbir Kapoor.

"I have always loved Ranbir and I love him even more after 'Barfi!'. He is my biggest crush and he will always remain my biggest crush," the 19-year-old said here Tuesday at a promotional event of her forthcoming debut film "Student Of The Year".

Asked which Khan would she like to work with from Bollywood's popular Khans - Shah Rukh, Salman or Aamir - Alia said: "These three are such big stars, how can I choose one? I want to work with all three of them."

What makes Kareena a true Diva?

She already has Bollywood in awe of her looks and attitude and now Kareena is all set to take the west by storm with her forthcoming flick ‘Kambakkht Ishq’.

It is believed that Bebo will be seen playing her real stylish self in this super stylish flick. The only difference between the real and reel Kareena is that she will be seen playing a Hollywood diva. Kareena’s character will be high on fashion as she plays a supermodel.

Reportedly, her makeup and hair has been done by Hollywood make up artists and hairstylists. Since she has a super glam look in the film, designer Akki Narula has designed her attires. Aki Narula had earlier designed her super hot, super trendy look for Tashan. Those who have seen the rushes of ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ feel Bebo looks simply superb.

Is Hollywood taking note of our Bebo?

What makes Kareena a true Diva? Comment below.

Her beautiful looks
Her sexy figure
Her attitude
Her fashion sense

Kat wants young co-stars!

Sorry dudes ... we don’t’ mean to offend ya, and we know you guys are ruling the roost, but the lovely Katrina Kaif wants to work with 20 somethings, too. When we asked her how she felt about finally getting a chance to work with stars of her age (John and Ranbir), she replied, “At the start of my career I’ve worked with the best and the biggest of stars like Akshay and Salman.

My best friend is Boney Kapoor’s son Arjun, we hangout with David Dhawan’s son, and we’re all friendly with Ranbir too. I have the best of all worlds. I’m excited about Rajkumar Santoshi’s film with Ranbir; as I am about Priyan’s De Dhana Dhan with Akshay.” It’s exciting alright. We heard that RK ended up hurting her while doing an action sequence. Now we know why Akshay is her favourite co-star. Though we have to admit ... Ranbir is the cutest lover-boy on-screen. And we guess off-screen, too (how would you know?). Well, Ms. Padukone could tell you more if you want. Not that she’s dying to!

'Unbutton' act at LIFW may land Akshay in trouble

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar may land himself in the soup as city police have started inquiry into his alleged obscene "unbutton" act during the Lakme Fashion Week here.

We are conducting an inquiry into Akshay Kumar's alleged obscene acts during Lakme Fashion Week held here recently after we received a complaint from a person called Anil Nair, a police officer said.

The complainant raised objections on Akshay's unbutton act in public, the officer said.

On Monday, mid-way between his ramp walk, Akshay Kumar walked towards his wife Twinkle Khanna, who was seated in the front row and allegedly asked her to unbutton his jeans during the fashion show.

Asked if a police case is likely to be registered against Akshay and the organisers, the officer said, if the inquiry finds them guilty of obscene act, they will register a case against the actor and the organisers.

Ajay Devgan back with Kajol on Birthday

Ajay Devgan celebrates his 40th birth anniversary today, April 2, 2009. From shooting for his home production All The Best ’ at Lonavala, he will be coming back to Mumbai to spend some quality time with his family. There are no big party plans as Ajay simply wants to chill with wife Kajol, daughter Nysa and close family members.

Here’s wishing the actor a very happy birthday as we go on to list some of the major achievements in his professional and personal life.

Ajay Devgan’s real name in Vishal Devgan. Interestingly his character was named Vishal in several films including Bhoot, Deewane and Kanoon .

For his very first film Phool Aur Kaante, he won the Filmfare Best Male Debut Award. Much against his unconventional looks, he made his mark with a powerful performance and kick-started his career with action.

He won his first National Award in Mahesh Bhatt’s last directorial venture Zakhm. Ajay Devgan won acclaim for his stirring performance in the film, much against his initial action-star image.

After dating actress Kajol for around five years, the duo got married on February 24, 1999. Kajol subtly expressed her love for Ajay Devgan in a public event when she received the Best Actress Award for Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge . She dedicated the award to an anonymous person shooting in Darjeeling. Later it was known that Ajay Devgan was shooting in Darjeeling.

Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was one of his finer performances where he played a husband who helps her wife find her first love. With the film, Ajay Devgan also entered into distribution business.

Ajay Devgan won his second National Award for The Legend of Bhagat Singh , a biography on the legendary freedom fighter of India. By now he was already established as an actor of high caliber.

His latest achievements include U Me aur Hum , a film that he has written-directed and acted with wife Kajol. His sensitive direction and heart-rendering performance established him credentials as a promising filmmaker as well.

Katrina: I'm a hopeless romantic

At times she’s a phataka, at other times, she’s a pure ‘Barbie’ babe (no barbs intended here). And at times (when the flashbulbs are off, and the media is at safe distance) she’s her sweet, simple, giggly self. The twenty-something, ‘kool Katz’ supposedly takes her work far too seriously, Something she says herself; so, in one casual moment, we couldn’t resist asking her what her trigger of release was? What actually pressed her buttons? Bursting into an energetic smile (we wonder where she gets so much of that from; Sallu, maybe?) she replied, “Playtime! Yaay! Not having makeup on. That thrills me. I started modeling when I was 14-years-old. So I do miss having time for myself. I miss having pani-puri on the streets, and doing such things by myself. Also, I’m a huge movie fan. Especially of grand, sweeping, romantic classics like Casablanca and Gone With The Wind. I can watch those movies over and over again. I guess I’m just a hopeless romantic. I am a Cancerian, na?” Well, well! How one wishes life was one romantic fantasy. We’re sure Katz agrees? Gottit Sallu? Now take a cue from this Barbie...

Arbaaz’s new female interest?

And while big bro Salman has been all over the place for his quotes, escapades and autorickshaw rides, bhaiya Arboo (cute name, haan, Malaika?) has been working hard like a silent warhorse too. And the results are now there for all to see. Believe it or not, besides the couple of good movies he’s signed, he has also launched his own production house (which will hopefully see a big launch with bro Sallu and Katz in his first venture) and now he’s gotta brand new lovely lady in his life as well. Hold your horses Malaika, we only meant leading lady. Apparently Arbaaz has been going all out to promote a hottie model from Bangalore, Madhuri Bhattacharya, who co-stars with him in two movies, Prem Ka Game and Bachelor Party. Arbaaz who plays an outrageous flirt in the movie (a married one that too), gets to romance the newbie on-screen, but off-screen this happily married man is damn clear about one thing, “For me portraying infidelity is only for the screen. Never in real life” says Arbaaz. Wah ustaad....we like this andaaz. He could well be missing his bachelor days (now is there one married man who doesn’t?) but with a super-sexy gharwali like Malaika, who would care about a baharwali. Right, Arboo?

Shah Rukh Khan: I terminate my rivals

Mr Bionic Man is at it again. With even more ‘titanium’ (and various metallic parts) inside his body, Shah Rukh Khan actually laughed aloud when we called him ‘Terminator’. “Yes. I’m a Terminator. I terminate my rivals. I terminate obstacles and I’m now even more ‘bionic’ than before” he told us. And all the ‘metal’ is probably putting more steel in his spine too, when it comes to dealing with ‘shouldering’ all his roles and responsibilities. In fact, he’s hit the floor running - from walking the ramp, to shooting for Karan’s film, to planning his cricket strategies to shooting videos ... Phew! Now isn’t that too much bojh on his brand new shoulder? Well, it’s only because his recently operated shoulder is still in the healing process. Otherwise our King Khan can stalwartly carry the cross of Bollywood on his big, broad shoulders, hai na? And while his whirlwind activity is on, we heard that Gauri and buddy Karan Johar have been tut-tutting and are becoming overly protective about that still ‘sore’ part of him. He’s shooting for My Name Is Khan, and Karan’s been overtly careful to shoot only some easy portions with SRK, no heavy-duty stuff for him for sometime. Hmnnnn. Does this also mean that he won’t be jumping on some cricketer and wrapping himself around him...a la Shoaib Akhtar last year? Hmnnn and double hmnnnn!

'Cheers...' celebrates Dharmendra's 50 years in B'wood

After "Apne", Sunny Deol is once again teaming up with dad Dharmendra and younger brother Bobby for "Cheers - Celebrate Life". The actor-filmmaker says the film is a celebration of his father's 50 years in Bollywood.

"Dad (Dharmendra), Bobby and I are doing a great film with Sangeeth Sivan called 'Cheers - Celebrate life'. Actually, we are trying to celebrate my dad's 50 years in the industry with the film," said Sunny.

"We are going to start shooting next month onwards now that dad is fine after the knee surgery (last year). Hopefully, we will release it this year itself under our banner Vijeta Films so as to keep fresh the essence of his 50 years," he said.

Besides "Cheers", Sunny is also busy wielding the megaphone for his second directorial venture "The Man" in which he stars with Shilpa Shetty.

"'The Man' is the key thing that I'm working on as of now and it's going to be a good film ... that I can promise the audience. I directed a film called 'Dillagi' earlier and it didn't do well business-wise, but people loved it. Obviously now with my next film that I'm directing, people are going to check if I still have got it (in me) or not," he said.

Considering his diminishing on-screen presence, is the action star now shifting gears to don the director's hat?

"I don't know. I can't say anything right now because things change so rapidly. You never know what is going to happen tomorrow. All I know is that there are lots of things to do," said Sunny, who was last seen in "Heroes" in 2008.

He may not be sure of his future directorial ventures, but he is confident that he wants to produce "good cinema" under his banner.

Apart from his Bollywood career, Sunny, a "fitness freak", has also associated himself with a health club chain - Club Fitline. He was in the capital recently to launch its first centre.

Sunny has been away from the limelight but feels that brother Bobby and cousin Abhay have been making their screen presence felt.

"Abhay is doing very well in his career. Unfortunately his earlier films didn't bring him that popularity, but people who saw him were always fond of him because he did great work from 'Socha Na Tha' (2005) itself.

"Bobby's career is doing pretty well too. It's just his bad luck. He is a great actor and a very goodlooking boy with a great personality. It's just sometimes things don't fall right. Otherwise he has done good cinema," the actor said.

Sunny has no plans to launch his sons in the near future and says he is happy giving his sons Karan, 18 and Rajvir, 14, a chance to "pick their own space".

"They are still young. I want them to study as of now and have their own space. I'll let them grow up to be wanting to be something and then whatever they decide to take, I'll definitely be with them," he said.

Apart from "Cheers" and "The Man", Sunny's other projects include "Right Ya Wrong" and Bhushan Kumar's next project with Kangana Ranaut.

Ayesha Farhan to tie the knot by February end

The latest buzz doing the round of Bollywood is Ayesha Takia and her restaurateur boyfriend Farhan Azmi will finally get married by February end.

The couple was supposed to tie the knot last year on Christmas Eve but they postponed following the terror attacks in Mumbai on 26/11.

Apparently Ayesha who broke down completely after the Taj attack decided to delay her marriage. Apart from that Farhan’s father Samajwadi Party leader, Abu Azmi was in a hospital recuperating after an operation.

According to a close friend of Ayesha, wedding will take place in Mumbai. However the actress is frantically running around shopping for her trousseau.

Being a professional Ayesha will complete Revathy's film which is woman oriented film after marriage.

Kareena refuses to talk about katrina

Kareena refuses to talk about katrina

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor is not vying for the crown of Bollywood queen despite her hit performances and high profile brand endorsements because she feels that kings and queens only exist in a pack of playing cards.

"I think kings and queens are in cards, not in Bollywood, " Kareena told reporters at an event here Saturday.

On being asked her opinion about Katrina Kaif as an actress, Kareena bluntly said: "I don't talk about other actresses in press conferences."

Kareena was present in the capital to promote a new initiative by hair removal cream brand Anne French.

She is looking forward to the release of a number of films in her kitty including Rajkumar Hirani's "Three Idiots" and Sajid Nadiadwala's "Kambakkht Ishq".

In "Three Idiots", she stars opposite Aamir Khan. In "Kambakkht Ishq", she will be sharing screen space with Akshay Kumar for the seventh time.

About working with the two actors, Kareena said: "I pick up the best from whoever I work with. When you are working with someone, you kind of get tuned to the way that actor is working. I would like to pick up all the best qualities from both these people."

The actress also spoke about her experience of working with Hollywood stars Sylvester Stallone and Brandon Routh in "Kambakkht Ishq" and said it was "an honour".

Aishwarya gains a lot from her Rajini Sir!

Ash got special treatment while shooting for 'Endhiran' with Rajinikant. It's not just the big bucks that she's earning from the film.

The film also called 'Enthiran' or 'The Robot' has been shot in undisclosed areas in and around Chennai. They also shot in Vellore or Ennore amidst tight security.

Now whenever the Southern superstar is shooting in Chennai, he gets to eat homemade food prepared by his wife Latha and this piping hot and tasty food is delivered by his aide at the shooting.

And benevolent Rajini shared his lunch with Aishwarya Rai, Shankar, and some other unit members. Ash is a fan of South Indian food and has been asking Rajni's aide as to how each dish is prepared and the right way to pronounce its name!

Rajini also shared books on philosophy with Aishwarya and Shankar! Well, so apart from the big bucks Ash also got lots of knowledge about philosophy, theology and South Indian food thanks to Rajini!

Let's Kiss: Kareena and Saif finally lock lips

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are sharing a happy moment on screen. They are kissing onscreen for the first time for their untitled film directed by Renzil D'Silva for Dharma Productions.

A source has confirmed the intimate scene, "Last week, Saif and Bebo shot for their kiss in a Chembur studio. The kiss is part of a song.

The actress who has done kissing scenes on screen before was quite comfortable with the idea of lip-locking with her beau. She even was seen calmly discussing the angle and the intensity with the director."

An insider adds, "At one point it was discussed if the scene was necessary and it looked like the couple had their doubts about the screen smooch.

Rensil looked unhappy and had a word with Saif. The director convinced him to do the scene. Saif in turn made Bebo understand that it was necessary and she agreed."

It took just about five takes to get the kiss right.

John is like my brother, why would he refuse me

We read about John Abraham sportingly pitching in with a song and dance for Bipasha Basu and his newly-found sibling Neil Nitin Mukesh's sake in new director Jehangir Surti's Aa Dekhe Zara.

Nothing there that was hard to believe. After all, John did a walk-on appearance in John Mathew Mathan's Shikhar, for Bipasha's sake.

Couldn't have been for the film's leading man since Shahid Kapoor and John, as we all know, couldn't see eye to eye, thanks to Kareena Kapoor.

But with Neil Nitin Mukesh it was different. John apparently dotes on the younger actor. When they were shooting in Philadelphia for Kabir Khan's New York they were so chummy they became inseparable twins, gyming swimming and bonding in the freezing cold and flourishing fabulously on a fish diet.

John, in fact, urged Bipasha to work with Neil in Surti's Freeze, now entitled Aa Dekhe Zara. Bipasha too is very fond of Neil.

So it came as no surprise to know that John had agreed to do a song and dance in Aa Dekhe Zara, for his mashuka and chote bhai's sake.

But here comes the clanger. John is no longer doing that song. Why this change of plan, and that too at the eleventh hour? Has John opted out?

According to Neil John's presence didn't fit into the song. "John has not opted out of the song. It so happened that the song didn't fit in correctly. But it was sweet of him to have agreed.

Like I said John didn't fit into the film's situation. He had agreed. And there was no reason for him to opt out. There's Bipasha and now there's me, his younger brother. He'd have gladly done the song for us."

However Bipasha tells another story. "John was never supposed to be part of any song in Neil and my film Aa Dekhe Zaraa. That was wrong news."

Even my Bikinis and zero figure make news: Kareena

Even my Bikinis and zero figure make news: Kareena

Her confidence and attitude might reflect on her face but Kareena Kapoor seems to claim that she's not arrogant at all.

She's said, "The world is yet to understand what is it like being Kareena Kapoor. They are busy making speculations. Let them do so."

She makes it clear that she's not happy about the fact that her flop films make a lot of unnecessary news.

She's said, "When any of my film flops, every news channel would run it as a ticker. I guess the case is that I was never an underdog.

People and media like those who come from small towns and make it big. They don't like people who are something and manage to achieve bigger things in life. We have to keep innovating ourselves constantly but they enjoy running us down."

She's proud of 'Tashan' for which she flaunted her size zero look throughout 2008.

She says, "Irrespective of the fact that the movie worked or not; every single bachcha knows about the film — my bikini shot, orange juice diet and… zero figure. Even my daughter will know about the film."

Only talking about the love of her life Saif warms her up.

She says, "He is too relaxed. He is in his own industry. Saif will never sign a film until it interests him to the core. Not even, if it calls for sitting idle for a year. He only works in films he believes in. And one of them is the upcoming Saif's home production, directed by Sriram Raghvan where we'll act together."

Come what may and whatever the world says, this gal loves to pull a Kapoor and flaunt her attitude every single time. That's Kareena Kapoor for you.

Size doesn't matter to me!!!

It would be a double celebration for Aishwarya and Abhishek in New York this week.

On 3 Feb it was the premiere of her latest international film Pink Panther 2 followed by Abhishek's birthday two days later. The couple plans to bring in his birthday in style.

In New York, Aishwarya is looking forward to the release of her film.

"They wanted me to be here for the film's promotion from earlier on. But I couldn't because of my prior commitments in India. We've a series of premieres lined up beginning with the one in New York on 3 Feb.

From there it's a crazy whirlwind trip that will take me to several countries and continents from Paris to Berlin to Moscow to Madrid. The final destination for my 15-day trip will take me to a screening of the film at the Berlin film festival. Then I'm back and I go straight to resume Mani Ratnam's film."

Aishwarya will be returning to India on Feb 14. "Abhishek is in New York with me. But he won't be able to accompany me for my other premieres because he has to be in India for the promotion of Delhi 6."

A part of the press has been writing about how minuscule Aishwarya's role is in Pink Panther.

Sighs the diva, "It's a bit silly and exhausting to even talk about the length of my role based on what's seen in the trailers. Did anyone question my role in Khakee when there was only one shot of me in the promo? Isn't that a very myopic view of contemporary acting? In my very first film Iruvar I thought I transcended this footage fetish, "

She makes it crystal clear thar footage is not a burning issue for her. "The choices I've made in my career aren't just about footage but an opportunity to work with actors directors and technicians who enrich my life.

Believe me working in Pink Panther was a joy. It was a wonderful experience working with a stalwart like Steve Martin and the rest of the cast and crew.

Why spoil it by questioning how much footage I have? So many Indian actors have worked in international ensemble casts."

Getting somewhat indignant Aishwarya Rai, "I didn't work in Pink Panther 2 because it was an international project. I got the script. I chose to be happily be part of the film. They shot exactly what I was offered.

I don't need to work with stardust in my eyes. Of course Pink Panther is a Steve Martin vehicle. Is that something to question?

All the rest of the wonderful cast including Jean Reno and Andy Garcia play supporting roles. I treasure the experience of working in Pink Panther 2."

Interestingly Aishwarya was offered the lead opposite Will Smith in 7 Pounds which opens in Mumbai this week.

"Will Smith and I will work together for sure, " laughs Aishwarya. "There have been a number of offers. Dates just don't work out. If he's keen to work with me, so am I."
