PK Movie Review

Of all films this year, PK is the one that bears the greatest weight of anticipation. On this front, PK does not disappoint. It’s a very entertaining film with something important to say.
I skim through the plot here, without revealing much, for that might dilute the film’s experience. PK lands on earth from another planet, and loses an object of great importance on arrival. His confusion, attempts to cope with life here and search for this object creates many natural moments of hilarity. Concomitantly, a broadcast media student, Jaggu (Anushka Sharma) suffers heartbreak when her Pakistani boyfriend, a gorgeous Sushant Singh Rajput as Sarfraz, ditches her at the altar in picturesque Bruges, Belgium. Jaggu’s fate is predicted by the family god man, played by Saurabh Shukla; reinforcing her father’s (already) overwhelming levels of superstition. Meanwhile, PK’s paths cross with a generous Rajasthani folk singer (Sanjay Dutt). The singer inadvertently ends up leading him to learn Bhojpuri and suggests he go to New Delhi to find his object. Here, he meets Jaggu, a reporter in a news channel who smells a curious story in this funnily dressed man. PK has been advised to seek his solutions with God, and it is his constant quest to find God and communicate with the Supreme Being that drives the crux of the story.
The film’s flaws first- it’s second half can be preachy and at certain points, there are missing threads of logic (For instance, Jaggu never tries to once find out what went wrong with Sarfraz. Not one phone call or email is ever exchanged). Some incidents in the plot also occur too quickly, giving the narrative an artificial touch.

Sonam does not believe that Ranbir-Katrina will tie the knot!

We know Sonam Kapoor to be blunt and forthright. At a recent award ceremony, Sonam, as usual voiced her opinion on something which is currently the hottest topic of tinsel town.
Sonam was asked what is most likely to happen in 2015? Sonam was given the choice of (1) Salman Khan getting married (2) The three Khans doing a movie together & (3) Ranbir - Katrina getting married.
Sonam thought for a moment and said, "Uhhh I don't think either of the three are possible" to which she and Jacqueline, who was standing next to her, burst out laughing.
When asked which one she would love to see happening though, the fashionista said, "Ranbir - Katrina getting married."
Well, what are your thoughts on this?

The episode starts with the telecast of a serious fight between Sonali and Ali on the night of Day 85. Sonali finds her cigarettes missing and she raises a hue and cry for them. Praneet discusses the matter with her and shares how even his ciggies went missing a few days back. Sonali suspects Ali for stealing her candies (cigarettes) but Ali swears on his mother to rub off the allegation.
However, when Sonali holds on to her belief and accuses Ali again, he loses his cool and throws off the fragile cutlery on the ground. Sonali refuses to back off from her stand but an enraged Ali is brought under control by Puneet and others.
The next morning, Upen is seen in a frustrated state ready to pick on a fight with anyone. An argument ensues between Dimpy and Upen when the latter refuses to help Ali in cleaning the bedroom.

‘Bigg Boss 8’ gets extension for 1 month; Farah Khan takes charge as show’s new host!

The controversial reality show never fails to surprise us. And what we have heard lately is the mother of all surprises!
So, this may not come as good news to all Salman Khan fans who have been watching their beloved star hosting the show every weekend.
The makers of ‘Bigg Boss 8’ will be extending the series by a month after arriving at a consensus during a recent meeting. This means that the show won’t be ending on January 4 as was decided earlier but will take a month more to wrap-up.
Now, the surprise is that Salman won’t be taking the show forward as (a) his contracts ends on January 4 (b) he has no extra dates for the show as the shoot of his film ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ is demanding his time.
And guess what, ‘Happy New Year’ director Farah Khan has signed the contract with the channel to host the show after Salman quits.

Yes, we were dating and I am still in touch with Deepika: Sid Mallya

The legal heir to Vijay Mallya's wealth, Sid Mallya is trying to find its feet in Los Angeles, USA. He is hoping to make it big in Hollywood.
The upcoming actor with great looks was recently in news for his alleged friendship with Freida Pinto. Infact, there are many reports that indicate Sid might be the reason behind Freida and Dev's split. Sid clarified his role in an interview to Hindustan Times, "People party with their friends on their birthdays, and I happened to be in that group. There were five of us in the pictures, but I guess I was the only one deemed newsworthy. When the story broke in the UK, they all wrote just about her having a good time. Then, journalists in India saw the pictures and said, ‘Hang on, we know that guy.’ Suddenly, there were rumours of us dating. It’s absurd."

Little AbRam catches dad SRK's FAN shoot

We saw Shah Rukh Khan shoot for his movie 'Fan' outside his home 'Mannat' yesterday. From the pictures, it seems that SRK is playing a fan of himself. While the very interesting pictures from the shoot did leave us amused, it seems that we were not the only ones to enjoy this show.
SRK's little son one year old AbRam was as amused to catch this shoot of his dad. It seems like the little one is wondering why his dad is not being allowed to enter their home!

Shenaz Treasurywala writes an open letter to NaMo, Big B, Tendulkar, Khans, Ambani

Shenaz Treasurywala is all set for the release of her movie 'Main or Mr Riight' opposite Barun Sobit. In the midst of the promotions, Shenaz took some time off to express her concern over the recent rape incidents that have been taking the country by storm. The actress thus decided to pen an open later to none other than the Prime Minister and some other influential personalities of the country. Read on:
Dear Narendra Modi, Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Anil Ambani,
I am writing to YOU specifically because you are the most powerful and influential MEN in our country.
I am writing to you as a woman who grew up in a middle class family in Mumbai.
I am writing to YOU for HELP!
My parents may not like me saying this. I apologize to them if they are reading but this is NOT MY SHAME. It’s THEIR SHAME.
My first experience with the opposite sex, was when I was just 13 and groped by a man (never saw his face but will never forget his hand) while walking in the vegetable market with my mom. She had just given me the worst haircut and as an angry teenager I was upset at her and was lagging behind as she walked ahead. I still remember what I was wearing. It was her dress, mustard with flowers and little bow in the front. How I hate that dress! As if, it was the dress’s fault.
I was shocked at first. Speechless. He disappeared. I just stood there. Tears started pouring out of my innocent eyes. I told my mom who went mad screaming in the market but who knew where that man disappeared to. I still remember the dirty feeling I had and the number of times I showered in my grand-mom’s bathroom after. That feeling never went away.
Since then it was non-stop. I would try to articulate this to my parents and while my mom understood, my dad and uncles told me I was imagining it. Maybe they just couldn’t deal with it. CAN YOU?
When I was 15, I started going by train and bus to St. Xaviers’ College. I was groped and touched and from all angles and this was just how I grew up. Not Just Me but MOST INDIAN WOMEN who don’t have the luxury of cars and drivers.

Anushka will also be seen in Dil Dhadakne Do, Bombay Velvet and NH10, which are all set to release next year.

Action Jackson Review

A dialogue in ‘Action Jackson’ has Ajay Devgn talking to himself when he sees Manaswi Mamgai “Yaar Ye to Mercedes Hain! Ek Baar test drive karna padega!” (This one’s like a Mercedes, must ‘test drive’ her once). A significant part of the first half hinges on the premise of Sonakshi Sinha’s changing luck. It changes for the better when she accidentally sees Ajay Devgn in the nude. So she plots & plans to devise means to see him in the nude again, just so she can land an NRI groom. Just in case you miss the point, an animation shows her pulling his pants off inside a swimming pool. Her air headed friends proceed to chase Kunal Roy Kapur and undress him, for their share of good luck; but to explain why that happens, is beyond my abilities. Cardboard cut out villains punch and beat Yami Gautam twice over, in slow motion, Dolby sound effect mode. Manaswi Mamgai’s character basically walks around in various push up bras, and in a scene, pushes up her assets in front of a mirror.
By now, you get the drift on just how misogynistic and disrespectful to women this film is.

Ungli Movie Review


Here is the movie review for Ungli:
Ratings:2.5/5 Review By: Hungama Network Site:Bollywood Hungama
While the film establishes itself and its characters well within the first fifteen minutes, it loses the grip as it progresses. The first half of the film is effective and crisp, unlike the film's second half, which is stretched, thus, making the film bereft of entertainment value. The end climax scene will be difficult for certain audiences to digest. All in all, if you want to watch a film about rebelling against the corrupt system then UNGLI is a decent watch for this weekend.
Ratings:2.25/5 Review By: Manjusha Radhakrishnan Site:Gulf News
Ungli, led by Randeep Hooda, Emraan Hashmi and Sanjay Dutt, is loaded with noble intentions, but is weighed down by uneven execution and simplistic twists.The Ungli gang’s vigilantism is never grand until the climax, and by then you may be past caring. To watch them repeatedly bring down corrupt traffic constables and dishonest officers who issue driver’s licenses is not exactly riveting.The team behind Ungli may have set out to make a noble film, but where’s the punch?

Too sudden, too soon: Bollywood on Phillip Hughes' death

An array of Indian film celebrities Thursday expressed shock at the demise of Australian batsman Phillip Hughes, who died after being struck on the head by a cricket ball. The incident, they said, reminds one of how fragile life is.
The 25-year-old Hughes, who represented the national team in 26 Tests between 2009-2013, fractured his skull and suffered massive bleeding in his brain after being hit by bowler Sean Abbot's bouncer in a Sheffield Shield match between South Australia and New South Wales at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) Tuesday afternoon.
He underwent surgery, but succumbed without regaining consciousness.
Mourning Hughes' death, a string of actors and filmmakers took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the incident as well as to express their sentiments for Abbot.
Here's what they had to say:
Karan Johar: No age to go... thoughts and prayers with the family... this is just too sad...#RIPPhilHuges.
Farhan Akhtar: Phil Hughes Rest in Peace. Sean Abbott Live in Peace.
Arjun Kapoor: That's how fickle life is... RIP Phil Hughes... and my heart goes out to @seanabbott77. They were just playing cricket at the end of the day.
Rahul Bose: Just heard the tragic news. #PhilHughes this is the first fatality in the sport I am hearing of after Raman Lamba. A sad day for cricket. Coming as I do from a sport where death is a clear if very remote possibility #rugby seems crazy for someone to lose one's life in cricket. Let us resolve to stand by Sean Abbott too, at this time. It's a sport and he mustn't blame himself for what happened. #RIPPhilHughes

Happy Ending Movie Review

Here is the review for the movie Happy Ending. Watch out this space for more updates!
Rating:4/5 Review By:Subhash K Jha Site: IANS
Happy Ending is a film that strives to wear its aura of urbane cool by making the actors so familiar with their characters that the line dividing the performers and the performances seems redundant. Shot in San Francisco and Los Angeles, the film is very good-looking.The three cinematographers Chase Bowman ,Yaron Levy and Mahesh Limaye shoot the characters against backdrops that would have served as postcards if the plot didn’t invite the locales to be characters.
Saif hits some brilliant notes in his part. But does he seem effortless because he’s done it so many times before? He is not afraid to seem less than heroic . The women perpetually succeed in doing that to him. Kalki Koechlin as the blissfully devoted girlfriend brings such a remarkable charm to her character’s annoying devotion to her man that you wonder if Yudi wouldn’t be doing the right thing in simply settling down with this utterly and hopelessly devoted lover-girl.
Rating:/5 Review By:Sneha May Francis Site: Emirates247
DK and Nidimoru, who had earlier worked on the wacky ‘Go Goa Gone’ and ‘99’, pick characters and scenes off Hollywood rom-coms, and weave them into a Bollywood love story brimming with romantic songs and plush international locations. It’s almost like they’ve taken the cues from their own megalomaniac superstar Armaan-ji, who is in search of a script that’ll win him the 'masses and classes.' On many levels, ‘Happy Ending’ is a reflection of its own effort.

Hot! Watch it here as Salman calls Katrina 'Kapoor'

We know that Salman's ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif took an active part in Arpita Khan's wedding celebrations. We also heard how Salman pulled Katrina's leg calling her 'Kapoor'. Well, they say your eyes can never lie to you. Therefore we bring to you the video so that you can watch all the action as it happened.
Watch a merry and joyful Salman call out to Katrina from the stage. Salman is seen saying, "Katrina Kaif.....Kapoor....Ithna bada chance miss kiya Khan hone ka bhai". To this, Aamir bursts out laughing as the audience joins in and cheers on. But Salman saved the best for the last when he said, "Dil se shukriyada karte hai aapka" (I thank you from the bottom of my heart) to which you can see more outbursts of laughter.
Salman was surely at his wittiest best here, surely. However, the question is, what was Salman so thankful about? Was it because Katrina let go of the chance to become a 'Khan'? Well, go figure!

Unveiled: Why Kim Kardashian dropped out of 'Bigg Boss 8'!

Kim Kardashian, the queen of reality TV anywhere in the world, has dropped out of Bigg Boss Season 8.
Her appearance was touted as the Bigg ticket to rescue the show's mediocre ratings this season. But Kim's fee, of 5 crores per episode, turned out to be the deal breaker.
With reports of Kim 'interested' in meeting Salman also planted in the media for PR, this announcement now looks premature. The monies weren't locked on the deal, and therefore, Kardashian will now stay away.

All roads in Hyderabad led to Salman Khan’s sister’s wedding. The wedding lasted for nearly 6 hours.
The Bollywood turn-out was surprising, to say the least. While Shah Rukh Khan who had promised to be at the wedding couldn’t make it finally(for reasons best known to him) Priyanka Chopra’s conspicuous presence at the wedding caused many eyebrows to be raised.
Says a friend of Salman’s, “She has hardly been a favourite of Salman. I believe she stalled the shooting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani for two days to be in Hyderabad for the wedding. Bhansali has an expensive set waiting. But Priyanka chose to fly out for a wedding where she was not that urgently required.”
