Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra spotted in Shahid’s Jaguar



Mumbai: They were ex-flames but now they have done a film together and currently they are being spotted together for the promotions of their upcoming flick. They are Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra who once dated when they were shooting for the film ‘Kaminey’. But soon their romance ended up and they parted ways. Now they have done a film ‘Teri Meri Kahaani’ together directed by Kunal Kohli. The movie is all set to hit the screens but before the film releases, they are doing the important and necessary work of promotion these days.
The duo is not leaving any stone unturned to promote the movie in an apt manner. They have constantly been doing the promotions in various manners. Both have been attending various events and making their appearances on various television shows and radio programs for creating the hype for the flick.
Yesterday Shahid and Priyanka were spotted together in Shahid’s lush vehicle. This is what happened that post the promotional activity at two radio programs, Shahid asked Piggy Chops to get into his red hot Jaguar that is a two seater from there they headed for attending the press conference at a five star hotel in Juhu, Mumbai.
The reports have it that Shahid had bought this car for Rs. 1.5 crores earlier this year. The movie ‘Teri Meri Kahaani’ consists of three eras- 1910, 1960 and 2012. The film has been well in news and the pairing of the ex-flames is also igniting the sparks inside the viewers’ hearts.
Expectations are high that the flick will make good at the box office. Apparently it seems so, but what destiny has in store for the flick will be revealed upon the release. Till then, we can only wait and hope for the best. Wish the film good luck.

Sujoy Ghosh to start sequel to Kahaani



Mumbai: Sujoy Ghosh is a talented filmmaker and script writer, this is now proved and the entire film industry and the masses admit the fact. With the box office and critically-acclaimed hit Kahaani, Ghosh has proved that he can make the films which can ignite the ticket window with gusto. We have learnt that Sujoy is currently writing two scripts to make two Hindi films which he will soon begin in India.
There is no denying at all that all and sundry are now waiting to see what Sujoy Ghosh will bring up for them on screen to watch? For the anxious people, this is the big news that the luminous filmmaker and writer is presently working on two scripts sitting in London. Sujoy himself tweeted to fans on his page that he was working on two screenplays – one for Amitabh Bachchan and other for Vidya Balan.
It has been learnt that for the project on Vidya, it will be a sequel to Vidya Balan’s mega successful film ‘Kahaani’. Sujoy mentions that once he finishes off with both the screenplays, he will be able to decide on which project he is to start working first. If the sequel to Kahaani is announced, it will be a treat for the movie’s fans. But what nice it would be if the sequel of the movie will be made after some hiatus since we all know when a gap happens, the interest quotient becomes stronger. Thus the moviegoers have to give some gap (as the movie has just been released recently) so that they can develop the interest and curiosity for the film.
Kahaani’s rights have also been sold out to regional movie makers to remake the film in regional languages. The talks are also going on with Aditya Chopra for Kahaani’s remake in English language for the world audiences in particular to Western viewers.

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan’s marriage date fixed



Mumbai: We have been continuously hearing about the wedding date of Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan’s marriage but all those were the big ripples making the rounds of the media. A lot has been written in media about the marriage date and a lot has been penned on their ongoing romance. Their being spotted together and getting cozy and all sorts of things were projected and are being focused in the entire media. Their romance is high in the air. Few days back, there were rumors about the wedding date i.e. 16th October but Kareena, in an interview, strictly and sternly denied all the reports saying all focus of the media and people was on her relationship and marriage. She also said there was no planning of marriage yet and that she was focusing on her movies only. But now her mother-in-law to be Sharmila Tagore has made it confirmed and put the silence mark on the wedding date’s rumors saying ‘yes, this (16th October) is the marriage date, we have zeroed in.’
So now what will you say Kareena, hmmmm? Obviously now Sasu Maa has made it confirmed now you will only be silent and your silence will make it confirmed.
Sharmila Tagore says that the marriage will happen on the same date and there will be a reception but not that big. The reports have it that the marriage will take place at Patudai’s ancestral home where only the close family members will be there to bless the couple. Later, another wedding reception will be arranged in Mumbai for family members and close friends. This too will not be lavish.
Kareena has confirmed Sanjay Leela Bhansali that she will continue shooting for his film Ram Leela as she has to continue with films post the marriage. Well, let’s see if Saifu gives you permission post marriage.

Indian Idol 6: Delhi ka Dhamaka


The Biggest Musical Talent Hunt of India is back and how! From a person who once tried to make an everlasting impact on the judges in the first edition of the show but failed to an Amritsari lad who has a story to share, the Delhi auditions telecasted on the 1st of June marked the return of a new season of the highly anticipated reality television show ‘Indian Idol’ with the right amount of punches. Plus, the eminent judges panel comprising of the ace composer Anu Malik, suave musician Salim Merchant and the versatility personified Sunidhi Chauhan echoes the sky rocketing expectations that the Edition comes along with.


While people crowded like a swarm of busy bees in their quest for honey, their destinations was easily perceived. Five years gone by yet the grit, the compassion and most importantly the motto remains the same. Being tagged and crowned as the Nation’s next Singing Sensation is what remains the ultimate goal for every contestant on the show. Heart renching stories to captivating dreams, the auditions at the country’s capital city were on an all time high. People poured in from all corners of the Northern states with variegated ‘vesh’ but similar ‘bhasha’, the sound of Music. Some carved their niche with soulful melodies, some tried their luck with rhythmic sufi ballads and some catapulted to super success with the iconic Bollywood chartbusters. But one thing is for sure, the talent crunched out from the nooks of the Nation is all set to bedazzle the lovely audience: all and sundry! And guess what given the power packed and enthralling performances that the stage is set for, you would not even mind that extra blabbering from the all time over enthusiastic Anu Malik saab.
One by one, luckily got to witness as many as a handful of fans waiting to meet him, touch him, and even say ‘I Love You’ ;a feat which he might have never enjoyed in his 20 year long career. Apologies! Where many auditions were perfect concoctions to kill Music along with its sur and taal complete ‘Band Baaja Baraat’ style, there were too many peaks with a few valleys in between. One of the major ups of the episode would definitely be the treasured finds from the beloved ‘Pink city’ Jaipur. ‘Alaaps’, ‘ragas’ and ‘harkats’ galore, Jaipur auditions were testament to some beautiful auditions. Certainly a reason to call the city the Embodiment of Talent!
Shouts, screams and few jumps later, the tempestuous talents were en route to Glory. But with competition and wins, comes heart breaks and dejections too. This episode was hardly different! While some artists flew their way to chase their long awaited dreams, some suffered a setback. But nevertheless when God closes one door, he surely is in the mood to open a lot more doors to catch your Dreams!

Mumbai:
 Hardly there would be anyone who raises any finger on this super brilliant actor’s acting skills. He is laced with endless amount of talents. He possesses the ocean of brilliance. Utterly in love with theater and literature, this actor is simply breath-arresting. He is a legend and whatsoever role is given to him, he slips into the skin of the character to bring out the originality in the role. He was once the king of parallel cinema. He is none other than Naseeruddin Shah. Well, after learning the name, you must have understood that this man deserves more praises than the ones written above.
These days he is often seen in specially knitted roles as we all know that he is a true fit for the characters which are written specially and which need special attention. Once Naseer is offered the role, he then brings in the creativity in the role on screen which user would love to watch it.
Debutante director Manish Srivastav wrote a script of a film ‘Charlie Ke Chakkar Mein’ and he specially put Naseer into mind by the time he was writing the screenplay. He then approached to the actor and gave him the script to read. Once Naseeruddin Shah finished with the script, not only did he sign the movie but also agreed to do the film at very low fee. Reason? He loved the screenplay utterly. Besides the film carries the majority of the cast which belongs to theater. This also enticed the star. The film will be produced by Karan Arora of High Ground Enterprises Ltd. The movie is presently under production and will be released by early next year.
The debutante director got supremely impressed by the sweet gesture of the actor. Manish is so impressed by Naseer and he has been a fan of him since the days of his parallel movies.

Manam Koththi Paravai – Movie Review



Movie Title – Manam Koththi Paravai
Director: Ezhil
Cast: Siva Karthikeyan, Athmiya,. Parotta Suri, Singam Puli, Ilavarasu, Ravi Mariya and Srinath, Chaams
Music: D Imman
Rating: ★½☆☆☆ 
Manam Koththi Paravai Tamil film hits the screens. The flick is a pure entertainer but this entertainer has any oomph values and entertaining masala for the audiences? For this, read on the review. There is another question arises in the mind whether the leading hero Siva Karthikeyan has the potential to carry the movie on his shoulders. Well, it does not seem so since the guy is not potentially strapping to lift the flick. Ezhil directs this venture that features Siva Karthikeyan, Athmiya,. Parotta Suri, Singam Puli, Ilavarasu, Ravi Mariya and Srinath, Chaams among others.
Ezhil has previously directed the flicks like Poovellam Un Vasam, Thullatha Manamum Thullum and Deepavali. He has come up after some hiatus and this time around, he emerges with this entertainer Manam Koththi Paravai. The enterprise is the fusion of romance and comedy. The director and the writer have tried to make it a thorough entertainer by using the required spices to allure the cinegoers.
The flick talks about the friends whose one stupid act makes them land into big trouble of their life. Will they be able to get out of it is what forms the rest of the film. D Imman has scored the music for the flick.
Kannan (Siva Karthikeyan) happens to be a simple village guy who falls in love with his neighbor Revathy (Athmiya). She is the daughter of the family who terrorizes the entire village and their fists do the things for them. The father of Kannan (Ilavarasu) is a building contractor. Kannan’s friends want to see the lovers united. But her wedding gets fixed with an affluent and influential guy from the neighboring village. Now Kannan’s friends have very limited time to do the things as per their plan. Help is taken by two of Kannan’s friends from Mumbai (Sreenath and Chams). They abduct Revathy. From here the big trouble starts off.
Plot is not unique or novel at all, we have grown seeing these kinds of movies. Screenplay is good and attracts but carries some loopholes as well. Execution by Ezhil is attention grabbing and you would love to give distinction marks. Music by D Imman is ordinary. Cinematography is appealing.
Siva Karthikeyan delivers the goods well but he is not potentially powerful to carry the movie on his shoulders as a solo lead which is why the director adds other characters of his pals in the movie. Athmiya is good to watch. Siva’s friends enact their parts well. Rest of the cast fills the bill also.
Final Verdict:
On the whole, Manam Koththi Paravai is a time pass entertainer.
