Match fixing: Pakistan fast bowler dropped from Indian movie

2010-09-13T23:50:00.000-07:00

The recent match fixing scandal involving Pakistan cricketers has taken its toll on the accused players on and off the field. Pace bowler Mohammad Asif who was expected to star in an Indian movie has been axed from the project following allegations of him being engaged in match fixing.

Indian director, Kaithapram Damodaran Namboothiri, a renowned lyricist and poet, no longer wishes the cricketer to be a part of his Malayalam film Mazhavillattam Vare (To the End of the Rainbow). After a series of meetings with the director’s son in London, the cricketer had agreed to play the role of a Pakistani cricketer who visits India to run a coaching school.

"Asif agreed to take the role in my film, but then there was this scandal in London, so it was very difficult to have him at all in the film," Mr Namboothiri said. The decision was taken as the character that Asif had to pull off in the movie was one with strong moral values who carried forward the movie’s theme of forging friendship through the game of cricket.Earlier the director had approached Wasim Akram to take up the role. But Akram politely declined the offer stating health reasons.

The movie was scheduled to begin shooting in October for release early next year and Namboothiri has confirmed that he hasn’t given up on the project. Last heard, he has kept the role vacant so that a suitable cricketer from the Pakistan team can pick it up.

Hello Darling Hindi MOVIE Music Review

Hello Darling is an upcoming Hindi comedy movie directed by Manoj Tiwari. Music of the film is scored by Pritam. Lyricists of Hello Darling movie are Shabbir Ahmed, Kumaar and Ashish Pandit. Hello Darling movie is set to release on 27th August, 2010.

Hello Darling album opens with “Working Girls” song which tunes on fast-band music. The track is dedicated to the movie storyline. It is a repetitive lyric of Hello Darling Hindi music which is sung by Shweta Pandit, Priyadarshini and Ritu Pathak.

“Attrah Baras Ki” is a rocking song of Hello Darling 2010 music. The track also tunes on fast-paced band music like “Working Girls”. “Attrah Baras Ki” soundtrack is inspired by western music. There is rap music in the background.

“Dil To Saala” is next song of Hello Darling Hindi album sung by Sunidhi Chauhan. It is also an average soundtrack of Hello Darling music. The track is inspired by rap and Punjabi band music. Lyric of the song contains “Ullu Ka Pattha” phrase like “Ullu Da Patha” song of Tere Bin Laden music.

Lyric of “Band Baaja” is written very beautifully. The track is sung by Ritu Pathak, Richa Sharma and Rana Mazumder. It tunes with melodious music. It is really an appreciating soundtrack of Hello Darling music.

“Band Baaja - Remix” begins with blinking music. There is faster band music than its original music. Lyric of the song is also very faster.

“Aa Jaane Jaan Aa” song of Hello Darling music is inspired by old Bollywood lyrics. The soundtrack is sung by Antara Mitra, Javed Jaffery and Akriti Kakkar. The song also tunes with rap music.

Overall, Hello Darling is an average album like Bumm Bumm Bole music. The album has not any new and unique soundtracks for the listeners. Despite it, “Band Baaja” is really very appreciating soundtrack of Hello Darling Hindi music. .

Hello Darling Hindi MOVIE Review

Though Pritam has many chartbusters to his credit, the composer fails to create an impact with the soundtrack of 'Hello Darling'. The film's music lacks freshness and most of the songs have a 'heard before' feel.

The movie stars Javed Jaffrey, Celina Jaitley and Gul Panag, and is directed Manoj Tiwari.

The album offers five originals and one remix.

The first song is the new version of Lata Mangeshkar's classic cabaret 'Aa jaane jaan'. By adding extra beats and new lyrics, Pritam has tried to tweak the song, but the effort hasn't yielded good results.

Sung by actor Javed Jaffrey along with Akruti Kakkar and Antara Mitra, the track fails due to an overdose of electronic elements.

Then there is Richa Sharma, Ritu Pathak and Rana Mazumder singing 'Band baaja', a song with a strong Punjabi influence. The song is neither bad nor brilliant. It is engaging in the beginning, but listners are likely to lose interest as the track progresses.

Next is 'Dil toh saala', a very dry composition with Sunidhi Chauhan behind the mike. This is the title track of the film, but the song has no potential to make it big owing to its unimpressive lyrics and heard-before musical arrangements.

'Attrah baras' crooned by Suzanne D'Mello is a fast-paced dance number. This song too offers nothing great though it might find some place on DJ consoles for a few weeks.

Finally there is 'Working girls' with vocals by Shweta Pandit, Ritu Pathak and Priyadarshini. The song is average and does sound interesting in parts, but on the whole, it fails to engage the listener.

The soundtrack may not do any good for the film and none of the songs is likely to become chartbusters.

Hrithik Roshan’s wax statue to be added to Madame Tussauds museum

2010-07-09T00:33:00.000-07:00

Hrithik Roshan’s wax statue to be added to Madame Tussauds museum

After Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan, it’s Hrithik Roshan’s turn to have his wax statue in the famous Madame Tussauds museum, London. The statue will be installed in the museum during the first half of next year.

Andre Timmins, one of the directors of Wizcraft, told IANS, "We began our association with the world-famous Madame Tussauds museum in 2000 when at the inaugural International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards in 2000 at the Millennium Dome, Amitabh Bachchan was announced as the first ever Indian film star to be honoured in wax. Then followed a string of select Indian stars and we are very pleased that Hrithik Roshan now joins this esteemed waxed league, within a decade of entering the film industry."

Madame Tussauds has disappointed the admirers of SRK and Ash earlier as the statues didn’t turn out to be as impressive as expected. All that we can do now is to hope that this isn’t repeated in Hrithik’s case.

When asked about her role in the movie, Mugdha said, "Help was a big challenge for me as it is a performance oriented role and on the other hand I also had to look glamorous in accordance with looking ghastly, so the efforts doubled up. Well for the bikini shots, I wasn't conscious much as I was in the character of Pia (That I play in Help) and it was requirement for the script and I am so happy that the result has been so good. But I had to work real hard to maintain my body in shape and happy that it shows in the photos."

Aruna Shields’ love-making scenes don’t help Mr. Singh/Mrs. Mehta

2010-07-06T02:21:00.000-07:00

She made her debut in Vivek Oberoi’s caper film, Prince – It’s Showtime. The movie tanked though it had a good opening weekend and Aruna Shieldswas noted solely for her bikini act and the kissing scenes with her co-star. She managed to get cast in another Bollywood movie with less-known faces.

Her second movie, Mr. Singh/Mrs. Mehta made up for the absence of big stars by its abundance of love-making scenes and Aruna took it upon herself to make the movie hotter by shedding all her inhibitions and her clothes. Three long sequences of love-making have been featured in the movie for which the movie got an A certificate from the censor board which passed it without cropping any of the love-making scenes.
Despite the over the top nudity, the movie failed to take a decent initial at the box-office. For some reason the movie turned out to be a disaster which validated that sex doesn’t always sell.

Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan may be going through a rough patch in their careers at the moment with both Kites and Raavan tanking at the box-office. Guzaarish - Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film may work as a shot in the arm for these two and the first look of the movie looks promising.

2010-06-22T11:57:00.000-07:00

Wherever Sherlyn Chopra goes and what ever she does creates a storm. Proving this was her recent ban from the micro blogging site Twitter. If what we hear is to be believed then the seductive temptress Sherlyn Chopra has been banned from posting images on Twitter.

IIFA Awards 2010 winners list; 3 Idiots tops the class

2010-06-15T12:24:00.000-07:00

If there is one event (other than Filmfare Awards) that Bollywood and those who keep an eye on its proceedings look forward to with pounding hearts, it is IIFA Awards. The International Indian Film Academy Awards placed India on the international map in every possible way, presenting Bollywood as an equivalent of Hollywood.

Stars are whisked away to exotic locations around the globe where the glitzy and glamorous event of global standards and panache was held right front of thousands of admirers. IIFA has been instrumental in blurring the lines between Bollywood and Hollywood with actors from the latter stream dropping by to say a word and to share the excitement.

This year’s IIFA was held at Colombo, Sri Lanka and just as everyone expected, the blockbuster of the year 3 Idiots got nominated in a staggering 14 categories. So who walked away with that perfect smile and that precious piece of regalia signifying cinematic excellence? Take a look at the list of winners to see if your secret skill in predicting the future works or not.

Kites loses altitude in second week

2010-06-15T12:21:00.001-07:00

After receiving an admirable opening week response, Hrithik Roshan-Barbara Mori starrer Kites was seen losing height rapidly in its second week. Though it has action, romance and hummable tracks, all of which packaged into a technically immaculate and visually stunning movie experience, Kites found it hard to maintain its position up in the air. The movie's fate looks sealed at the moment and the producers will have to look for other options to make profit out of it.

Analysts regarded media reviews as one of the reasons for the dull response. It appears that mixed reviews confused those who pick movies based on movie critic recommendations. On one end, a band of reviewers showered praises on the movie’s styling, action, romantic nuances, the chemistry between the leads and overall treatment. On the other end, the anti-Kites brigade took to bashing the movie for its lame plot, weak supporting cast and lacklustre climax. Viewer reactions were equally divided creating a rather cluttered and seemingly unreliable word-of-mouth publicity. There hasn’t been such a Bollywood movie in recent times which divided the opinion of critics and viewers as much as Kites did.

The masses found it hard to appreciate a Bollywood movie which has got an abundant usage of Spanish and English which stole away collections from single screens. Surprisingly, Hollywood imports, Prince of Persia and Shrek 4 found many takers in the same move-going crowd.

Overall the movie has done business of close to 600 million in India and is yet to make profit. the overseas market hasn't responded in the expected manner too, though the movie did break into the US box-office Top 10 on its opening weekend.

Sherlyn Chopra to come up with her fitness DVD

2010-06-15T12:12:00.001-07:00

It’s more or less a trend among Bollywood actresses with near-perfect bodies to come up with fitness DVDs featuring them teaching you yoga and aerobics. They are grabbed off the racks by fans who can’t get enough of their dream hotties. Need we say specifically that the sales of these DVDs have more to do with the killer bods of the actresses than with anybody’s interest in staying fit? That’s how Shilpa Shetty made more money with her yoga DVD and Bipasha Basu’s aerobics DVD still manages to earn her a decent chunk of cash every month.

We call it a strong motivation for someone like Sherlyn Chopra to release her own fitness DVD and in fact she is coming up with her best option to tease admirers while they are at home. The DVD in question will cover her daily fitness routine which is a mix of weight training, hot yoga, functional training and martial arts.

Talking about her inspiration to enter into the fitness DVD segment, Sherlyn says, “I have been inspired by Jane Fonda to take the plunge into starting my business venture. While researching about the industry I found that most exercise DVD’s are boring to watch. So, I planned to bring a great visual appeal by flaunting my body for my fans.”

Mallika Sherawat kisses a Python at Cannes!

2010-05-20T10:34:00.001-07:00

The things that an actress has to do to promote a movie - attending parties, film festival visits, sweating out at stage shows, blowing kisses at the crowds at promotional events, posing for pics with fans, kissing kids, kissing snakes...ehm...kising what? That's the first thought that came to our mind when we got to see the pics of Mallika Sherawat posing with a giant python at Cannes. Just when we thought it was going to end with the well-fed reptile wrapped around her neck, Mallika planted a kiss on the python. Boohoo...Emraan Hashmi!

No, this is no rubber snake. This happens to be the real thing and the whole snake-charming act was part of a photocall to promote her upcoming international project - Hisss. The movie aims to revive the "Nagin" genre of Bollywood movies on a larger scale and is being promoted as an international project.

We wonder what the python would have said had it been blessed with the gift of speech.

Barbara Mori’s topless scene removed from Kites

2010-05-15T11:02:00.000-07:00

A controversial scene featuring Mexican actress Barbara Mori topless has been axed from the Indian version of Rakesh Roshan’s big-budget movie Kites. The scene was spotted in the international trailer of Kites. Indian audiences will get to see the censored movie while the foreign audiences will get the chance to jaw drop at the aforementioned scene.

Rakesh Roshan defended the trailer.

"The promos for both the international and the Indian audiences are the same, and the kiss is in both. As far as the topless scene is concerned, it's not true. I don't make such films. For the Hollywood version, they wanted only 90 minutes, so we removed all five songs."

The movie has two versions – a 130 minute Hindi version which hits theatres on May 21 and a 90 minute English version (without the five songs) which will glide in on May 28.

Barbara Mori said: "There is so much kissing in Hollywood and Mexico. Everyone is kissing everywhere. But, in Bollywood, no one's kissing? I asked Hrithik why they take the camera away and show flowers and all. And he was laughing at me and saying, 'Oh, it's all changing now. Now we're kissing plenty.

King of Flops 2009 - Akshay Kumar

2010-05-15T10:43:00.000-07:00

Akshay Kumar had a flop-infested 2009 despite having the chance to star in the most hyped and highest budgeted movies in the history of Bollywood itself. 8*10 Tasveer, Chandni Chowk to China, Kambakkht Ishq and Blue were trumpeted around prior to their respective release dates. Each one had new premises, cutting edge technical brilliance, exotic locales, Hollywood connections and astronomical budgets to boast of. The combined budget of these movies equals the total budget of some nations. Now that may have been a bit of an exaggeration. But Rs. 3 billion isn’t too less a sum to dismiss off and the movies didn’t deliver as expected.

2010-05-15T10:42:00.000-07:00

He earned positive remarks for his fabulous debut in Saawariya, but Ranbir Kapoor didn’t taste box office success of superstar league till 2009. Saawariya flopped and though Bachna Aae Haseeno did fairly well, the Khans and the Kumars were not threatened a wee bit by the new Kapoor on the block.

Things took a dramatic turn in 2009 as Ranbir Kapoor kicked off his conquest with critical and commercial success in the form of Wake Up Sid. Sid was an entertaining and nostalgic trip down the memory lane and appealed to youngsters and families alike. The chemistry between the Ranbir and Konkona Sen was exceptional and the camaraderie shared by the supporting cast was another feel-good factor. The moderate budget made it a highly profitable investment for its makers.

Mild March with a surprise hit

2010-05-15T10:39:00.000-07:00

March was quite mild in terms of box office takings. Of course, My Name Is Khan was a strong holdover in the month, but new releases failed to hold on even on their release dates. The only saving grace came in the form of a comedy flick starring Ajay Devgan which posted the highest collections in the month. However March did have some quality movies to boast of. Though none of them succeeded in getting the crowds to shell out for the tickets, quality cinema was in theatres for those who wished to savour it.

The first week of the month saw the release of ATITHI TUM KAB JAOGE?, ROAD, MOVIE, ROKKK and THANKS MAA and among the group Ajay Devgan’s Athithi Tum Kab Jaoge did receive some guests as viewers. The word of mouth publicity maintained its steady collections and it earned its makers a decent profit. Road, Movie didn’t embark on a trip down the box office lane as its dull 15% opening was too meek. The case was similar for Rokkk and Thanks Maa.

The second week had YAAA WRONG, HIDE & SEEK and NA GHAR KE NA GHAAT KE and all of them failed miserably. Sunny Deol’s box office potential has nosedived completely and Right Yaaa Wrong proved it outright. The poor response was attributed to the IPL tournament which kicked off during the same time.

LOVE SEX AUR DHOKHA was the star of the third week. The critically acclaimed movie opened quite well in metros and considering the low budget it will be a profitable venture for its makers. ShAAPIT got off to a gentle start in single screens and may break even by the end of the month. LAHORE, a sports movie with kick-boxing as its premise was highly regarded by the critics, but that wasn’t the case at the BO. The opening was extremely poor and it won’t recover its costs.

The last week of the month began with a sight of abandoned cinema halls. HUM TUM AUR GHOST, WELL DONE ABBA and MITTAL V/S MITTAL were the key releases. But the lack of star power was evident in the results card. Well Done Abba and Mittal v/s Mittal received good reviews but as expected didn’t do so well in theatres.

Katrina just can’t stand Priyanka Chopra

2010-05-15T10:36:00.000-07:00

It started with ‘Namaste London’ and is still on. Katrina Kaif’s every single movie as a solo actress has been a hit, and the actress knows her brand pretty well. This may be the reason for Katrina to opt out from one Anurag Basu film opposite Ranbir Kapoor, as Priyanka Chopra was also said to be a part of the cast.

Soon after reports aired that Priyanka Chopra will also be a part of the film, comes news that Katrina has opted out of the film.

“When Katrina agreed to do Anurag Basu’s film with Ranbir, no mention was made of another heroine, and certainly not of Priyanka. However, when word about this reached her, she found the whole idea of the credit titles reading ‘Ranbir-Katrina-Priyanka’ too gimmicky. Not that she has anything against Priyanka or any other co-star,” said a close friend to Katrina.

Aishwarya Rai: Raavan's Ragini

2010-05-15T10:05:00.000-07:00

Aishwarya plays Ragini, a classical dance teacher in Mani Ratnam's much-awaited Raavan (Raavanan in Tamil and Villan in Telugu). The first look of the movie shows her dancing gracefully in a song . Talking about her role, she said: "This was an extremely challenging role for me. To shoot in Hindi and Tamil at the same time was quite a task. But the experience was so wonderful that if Mani sir asks me, I am ready to do it all over again." "Ragini is a strong woman and very relatable to the modern Indian woman. She speaks her mind. I say 'discovery' because we kept discovering fantastic locations and got to see so many places. We used to trek every morning to be on the sets. The role remained a mystery because I was playing the leading lady and there I was with no make up, no fancy clothes and all drenched in rain with mud all over. But that's what Mani sir expects from us to keep it all as real as it can get," she added. Interestingly, Aishwarya Rai started her film career with Mani Ratnam's Tamil film Iruvar in 1997. "I understand a bit of Tamil and speak a bit of it. For me, it is very important that I understand the meaning of my dialogues before I deliver them. I can't just mug up the dialogues. So for Raavan, I made sure I knew what I was saying and yes, I have improved a lot on the language and I am confident about doing more Tamil stuff in future," she revealed. "After Raavan, it was like: Come on! Bring on Robot (Endhiran)," she added.
