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?

Anurag Kashyap’s dark film ‘Ugly’ trailer is out

The brand new trailer of Anurag Kashyap’s film ‘Ugly’ launched today. The gritty crime thriller is based on the complex relationships that surround a tragedy. The trailer of this dark film promises to captivate the attention of Anurag’s fans and audiences all over.
The trailer begins with a search for a 10-year-old girl called Kali, who has been kidnapped. Rahul Bhat and Tejaswini Kolhapure play Kali’s parents look brilliant as the harrowed parents of the missing girl, even as the trailer makes you wonder uneasily if they are hiding some dark secrets of their own. Leading the search operation is Additional Commissioner of Police and Kali’s step-father- Shoumik Bose played by Ronit Roy, a ruthless but dedicated cop on a mission.
Director Anurag Kashyap definitely leaves the audience asking for more with its pulsating soundtrack (by GV Prakash), exceptional performances and a devastating, heart-rending tale. The film promises to take you on a gripping, sensational journey as the Ugly truth reveals itself.

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.

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.
