Wasssup ..
There I go again! But guys you have to give it to me for perking you up rather than dribble and babble the usual salaam namaste. hello .. hi and all niceities. So to get u in the groove and all live and kicking, lemme tip ya on some hot and cold stuff. With temperatures soaring high, inners are getting outta our celebrity pants.. (nah! now don’t you get all kinky and thinking) but one can’t help and not go on a fantasyville with perfectly Chiseled Hrithik sporting for a ‘banyan ad’ and our leading ladies flashing their black sexy lacy numbers so ooomphaticaly ..Phew! some hot news. Well on the other hand Cold is our box office like the ice age, which is just not seeing the daylight in spite of some authentically ‘different’ films getting released… from Eklavya to Honeymoon Travels.. films all over are just going flip – FLOP.. So if you are wondering what’s more on the list then go ahead and read on ..
Break ups – Make ups – Not really a Sa(i)fe deal
There’s a saying in Hindi language, which goes something like ‘Haath dho kar peeche padhna’ but my take is that when we are behind one celeb’s A$$ we make sure we wipe it off from the industry’s map! Now look at our poor Saif Ali Khan, first his breaking with his wife, Amrita Singh made headlines then everything goes rosy for him with the entry of gorgeous Italian Rosa. And after that a sudden Heart attack is predicted but what turns out actually is an unexpected heart break .. OMG! can you please spare us on the gory details and talk of his acting prowess that seems to be improving day by day.
Did You say Music from that side of the LOC – Baby Just bring it on !
We might not share so friendly relations with thy neighboring country but when it comes to music and lyrics, Boy! Pakistan bands and Musicians are getting lapped up by Bollywood like fresh creamy cupcakes ..Whether it was late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to recent yuppy boys Atif or Ali Zafar, these guys surely have the so called innate talent. And what’s current is a band called “Call” that seems to have given an awesome track for Abhay Deol’s forthcoming film “Ek Chaalis Ki Last Local”.. so if you still haven’t tuned in you better do so now!
Swing it like Sachin !
After ‘Bend it like Beckham’ I thought of this stupendous title reading ‘Swing it Like Sachin’ – well it has the wicketness and the heroism cocktailed .. Hows that! And careful folks, don’t even think of copying or getting inspired for the title has already been copy righted (courtesy - IndiaFM.com) anyways talking of the game of Cricket, the world cup mania is catching everyone like flu. And hand it over to our Industry for not catching the flu but the opportunity to come up with cricket theme films. To talk of first in the queue is Milan Lutharia’s Hattrick then Subhash Kapoor’s Say Salaam India... after that Meerabai Not Out and Bombay to Goa. Can’t say which one will get bowled or will smoothly be fielded ..
Ashley Judd is here for AIDS and not Ads!
Kidding you not but last week a curious onlooker at Kamathipura innocently asked my friend ‘What is the ‘gori firang’ aka Ashley Judd doing out here? ..and my friend tries to explain she is here for the cause of AIDS and the ignorant fella looks all understanding and says “oh which ad as in ‘Aid’ is she shooting for?” hmmm… well Shush will you please come forward and explain our people in their Local language to get the right message across! Well however they may deal my bet is still on Vishal Bhardwaj’s short film for the same cause
Is Arranged marriage really a revamped concept for Bollywood?
This little issue is about our latest released film ‘Just Married’ directed by Meghna Gulzar that has finally seen the multiplex screen. But now that the film has surfaced above others to name Salame-e-ishq and Honeymoon Travels, critics link the film to Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s cinematic sensibilities and are applauding it for reviving the arrange magic back into our systems... well guys can’t we let that lady bask in her creative glory !
All I got to say in the end is take light dude!
Keep watching this space for another dose of chatpatta ‘chat’ masala till then wear ‘Team India’s winning cap’ and enjoy the live screens put up all over the town’s happening water holes, so what’s you waiting for just get on the pitch and
Cheer India!
