Why Hrithik Roshan’s film is called Kites

2010-03-28T03:58:00.002+05:30

Finally, we know why Kites is called Kites. Producer Rakesh Roshan and director Anurag Basu, makers of Kites, one of the most eagerly awaited romantic films of this summer disclose the inspiration behind their film’s title.

“The idea for Kites came to me when I was gazing at the sky and saw two kites flying,”. It looked very romantic. It was very intriguing – the way they came close, played, almost embraced each other and then drew apart. Unaware that someone else was pulling the strings and could cut them loose. I sat down and penned a story around this idea.” notes Rakesh Roshan.

“Kites is a metaphor in the film. Kites fly against the wind and not with it, stronger the wind blows, higher they fly,” adds Anurag Basu who penned the screenplay and directed the film.

Arshad Warsi says "Story and screenplay of Hum Tum Aur Ghost are mine"

2010-03-28T03:40:00.001+05:30

Arshad Warsi admits he had differences with the director Kabeer Kaushik of his first production Hum Tum Aur Ghost. "Yes we did have differences. There were some scenes which I thought should've been shot differently. The post-production was done by the entire crew. But of course Kabeer Kaushik would get credit as director. But the story and screenplay were mine. So it was my vision to begin with."

Arshad Warsi admits he has hiked his price after the success of Ishqiya. But he isn't sure if he'd be paid what he's asking.

Says the actor, "I'd have asked for what I deserve even if Ishqiya hadn't worked. I'm finally asking for the price I deserve. I was completely underpaid earlier. I'll ask for a certain price now (Rs. 3 crores). If I don't get it I'll continue to be an underpaid actor for films I believe in. For example if I am asked to do a sequel to Ishqiya, I wouldn't ask for money. I haven't ever asked for money for the Munnabhai movies. If I feel the film helps me in any way as an actor I'll cut my price."

But Golmaal, Arshad feels is a commercial film and therefore should be lucrative for him. "Golmaal doesn't help the actors at all. It only helps the director. Munnabhai does help the actors. Even Dhamaal whose sequel I'm doing doesn't help actors. Golmaal and Dhamaal mean another hit for me. Nothing more."

Between Golmaal 3 and Dhamaal, Arshad is doing Mani Ratnam's assistant Bijoy Nambiar's gritty real-life drama. "After Golmaal 3, I'll do a small-budget film before going into Dhamaal. It's the kind of film that enthuses me as an actor. I play a cop in a real-life setting in Mumbai."

Arshad was almost not in Golmaal 3 because of the price factor, though he gives another reason for his near non-presence in Golmaal 3. "I needed a gap of at least two weeks between the last day of my own production and the first day of the shooting of Golmaal. After running around like a mad man for the promotion of Ishqiya and completing Hum Tum Aur Ghost, I really needed a break. I've had no chance to relax. But now I'm starting Golmaal 3 on the day after the release of Hum Tum Aur Ghost. So no respite. I really begged them for time off."

[UG] Dance Flick (2009) BluRay XviD

The worlds of dancing and spoof step up and throw down in DANCE FLICK, the latest melange of movie parody from the Wayans clan. As the film opens, we meet Thomas Uncles (Damon Wayans Jr.), a hip-hop hopeful whose dance-competition loss puts him in debt to
gargantuan gang leader Sugar Bear (David Alan Grier). But his luck begins to change when he meets the new girl at his performing-arts high school, Megan White (Shoshana Bush), an aspiring ballerina whose Juilliard dreams are shattered when her mother dies a heroically protracted death on her way to Meganâ€™s audition. Though they start as prickly competitors, it isnâ€™t long before Thomas and Meganâ€™s mutual love of dance enables them to overcome the social and racial barriers between them. But will their unlikely love story be enough to inspire all of the schoolâ€™s students, rekindle Meganâ€™s dreams, and save Thomas as he returns to the hip-hop battlefield of his earlier defeat?

She played a supermodel in Fashion and Raaz 2 and has looked different, like a whiff of fresh air in each of her films. In Vaada Raha, I Promise, she will be seen in sarees.

The curly (or wavy) haired Pahadi beauty who could give any city bred girl a run for her money, tells us what how to be fashionable and re-invent yourself all the time.

1) Fashion is a job. You cannot look good and be comfortable. If you want to look good, be prepared to work for it.

I love fashion immensely; it is a passion for me. I had a great time shopping in Milan. I think it makes sense to splurge.

On one item than buy a bunch of things that aren’t expensive. Quality is more important than quantity. 3) You should wear something continuously and get recognized for it and then move on to something else.

RGV's next based on a true story Agyaat is reportedly inspired by Varma's own experiences

2009-07-21T21:34:00.001+05:30

Not many know that Agyaat, a thriller about a film unit shooting in the dense jungles, has been partially inspired from RGV's experiences while shooting Jungle.

Jungle was shot at Bandipur Forest reserve in Karnataka. The unit was put up at a resort far away from the dense forest.

It seems while shooting for the film, few people in the unit got a sensation of being watched by some one while they were alone.

"One of the girls in the unit had lost her way for half day and she came back and just couldn't talk anything. She refused to stay in the jungle even for a day. She came back to Mumbai that very day," Varma said.

"We couldn't exactly pin point what it was but few people clearly felt it. They would get a feeling of being followed even when they would walk alone. Few people thought it is para normal presence, few
people thought may be a wild animal. And few even thought it was be Veerappan’s men keeping a watch on us," Varma adds.

This dramatic experience was later developed in to Agyaat by RGV.

On Saturday, another special preview of the thriller was held at Film City in Mumbai. This time it was attended by Bipasha Basu, Arshad Warsi, Celina Jaitly, Rohit Shetty and Mimoh Chakraborty.

Now, Dev Patel in a Tamil remake? Makers hope to sign up the Slumdog star for their next movie

2009-07-21T21:32:00.002+05:30

British-Indian actor Dev Patel, who starred in Oscar winning film Slumdog Millionaire, could in all probability star in the Hindi remake of Tamil movie Nadodigal.

Addressing reporters here Sunday Nadodigal director Samuthirakkani said that talks with Dev are underway.

"We are hopeful of signing him up for the lead role in the yet-to-be named Hindi remake of Nadodigal. The Telugu remake will go on the floors next month with Ravi Teja in the lead role and we will start shooting the Kannada remake in December with Puneet in the lead," said Samuthirakkani who will direct all the three versions.

Released last month, the film starring director-actor Sasikumar, Abhinaya, Ananya, Vijay Vasanth, Bharani and Ganja Karuppu is running packed houses at 168 centres in Tamil Nadu.

The total cost of the film was Rs7.40 crore. According to the distributors, the film is expected to gross more than Rs30 crore once it completes 100 days," said Samuthirakkani.

Nadodigal, an ode to friendship, revolves around Karuna (Sasikumar), Chandran (Vijay Vasanth) and Pandian (Bharani) – the three youths in a small town who share good camaraderie and their friendship spills over to their respective families too.

The film does carry an appealing message for today's fast paced society.

There are three actresses in the film and one of them is Abhinaya, who is deaf and dumb. But Samuthirakkani says he didn't face any problem while instructing her.

"I had no problem to communicate with her. Her mother assisted us and she has done an excellent role despite her handicap," said the director.

The film also stars Ananya and Malaysia-based Shanthini.

Lakshmi wants to mellow down The girl who's reportedly dating Dhoni wants to be 'homely'

2009-07-21T21:30:00.002+05:30

Tamil actress Lakshmi Rai, who is rumoured to be dating Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni, wants to get rid of the glamour girl tag and is keen to do meaty roles to prove her acting prowess.

"I haven't got the right breaks at the right time. I'd like to do films with the likes of S. Shankar and AR Murugadoss and would also like to star opposite superstar Rajnikanth. I have proved that I can act beside looking glamorous. I hope that in the near future, the glamour girl tag would give way for a 'homely girl' image," Lakshmi told IANS.

Lakshmi doesn't have too many films to boast about except Dhaam Dhoom, in which she played a doctor. Therefore the good performance of Vamanan, which released last week, makes her happy.

"I have been getting many phone calls from friends and well-wishers appreciating my look in the film. I am grateful to cinematographer Arvind Krishna for having shown me so nicely in the film," said the actress who dons bikini in Vamanan.

Lakshmi now pins her hope on Naan Avanillai 2. She says her role in the movie, which has five actresses including her, is quite significant.

"When the film releases, my stand would be vindicated. Though all my Malayalam films have done reasonably well, I'm concentrating only in Tamil films as I want a foothold here." she said.

REVEALED: SRK's hot getaway The star has reportedly bought a house in Central London

2009-07-21T21:28:00.001+05:30

We all know King Khan loves living life king-size. Recently after wrapping up the shoot for Karan Johar's My Name is Khan, Shah Rukh Khan set off for London with his family to enjoy a much deserved vacation.

Unlike other stars who would probably check into a hotel when they're in London, Shah Rukh Khan stayed at a house he bought in one of London's most expensive localities (Park Lane, Central London).

"The actor has always said that London is one of his most favourite places to relax and unwind. Every year, during the kids' vacation, the family of four heads off to the Queen's country. He has been spotted spending evenings with Aryan and Suhana at Hyde Park, a stone's throw away from Park Lane," a source was quoted by Mid-Day as having said.

The source further told the paper that a regular apartment in the area costs anywhere between '2 million pounds and 8 million pounds.'

Apparently Shah Rukh Khan bought himself a house with five bedrooms, which cost him close to 7 million pounds."

We're not quite sure how often Shah Rukh visits this place. But we're quite certain it must be a helluva room... with a whew!

A source told movie website Bloody-Disgusting.com that Danny Trejo will reprise his role as Machete, a madman hellbent on revenge, and De Niro will play a senator who double-crosses him. The filming on the spin-off is scheduled to begin on July 29.

Sandra talks about making babies The Proposal stars tells why she is not getting pregnant

2009-07-21T21:26:00.000+05:30

Sandra Bullock says that she’s frustrated people keep asking why she hasn't had children of her own.

The Proposal star – who married motorbike enthusiast Jesse James in 2005 and is step-mother to his three children, Chandler, 15, Jesse Jr, 12 and Sunny, five - is tired of people asking her why she hasn't had her own baby yet, reports Contactmusic.

She said, "It always seems that people want to talk about my uterus. I''m not talking about their vagina or their penis. Why are they talking about my innards?" The actress says that she avoided falling pregnant earlier in her life because she didn't want to be a selfish mother.

"I didn't want to have a child without a partner and I loved kids too much to have them right then, because I knew that the minute I have children my life would change," she said.

"And then I met Jesse and I went, ''Wow! There's that feeling of wanting to procreate because I love someone and I see him to be a good father,'' she added. The 44-year-old also says that she enjoys the challenges of looking after her step-children and loves them as if they are her own.

She told Britain's The Times newspaper, "A life is a life. Whether or not it came from your body should be secondary, in my opinion. If tomorrow I got home and went, 'Oh my gosh, I'm pregnant'. I''d be like, ''Wow! Isn't the universe amazing?'' But what I learnt was that it's being more of a parent to care for a child that''s not yours. It's harder."

USER REVIEWS: Harry Potter 6 Here's what users had to say about the boy wizard

2009-07-21T21:23:00.003+05:30

The critics might have hailed this movie as a masterpiece. And the box office collections might be extremely encouraging.

But has the average buzz18 user liked Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince? We invited our users to write in their reviews. And this is what they had to say:

'Great film but not a good recreation of the book'

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince starts off at the end of the last film right after Voldemort appears at the Ministry of Magic. The first two thirds of the movie is filled with great acting CGI and music but in the last part, the film simply trails off.

What happens for instance to the fight between the Death Eaters and the Hogwarts' students and the Order? Or to Dumbledore's funeral? The film ends with Dumbledore's Phoenix flying away, which begs the question where will the elder wand end up in the last film?

And then the Burrow is destroyed too, which makes me wonder where the wedding will take place in the last film.

Since they also took out the final fight scene Bill was not bitten by Fenir Greyback. So where does that leave Bill? Will he be a werewolf in the last film or a normal person? All in all it is a great film in its own rights but if u look at it as a recreation of the book it

The film does however have a few great moments. Like that one when after seeing Ron and Lavender together Hermione asks Harry if that's what it feels like when he sees Ginny with Dean.

All in all Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a great film in its own right. But if you look at it as a recreation of the book, the movie leaves a lot to be desired

BO Report: Potter spoils Bollywood's Jashnn Hollywood blockbusters rule the roost

2009-07-21T21:22:00.001+05:30

First it was Transformers: The Revenge of the Fallen and then it was Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. For perhaps the first time in a long while two big-ticket Hollywood blockbusters have made a dent in the collections of Hindi movies for two weeks consecutively.

Last week the boy wizard cast his spell at the box office and managed to spoil the party for Vishesh Films' Jashnn and Rahat Kazmi's Dekh Re Dekh.

Needless to say the three releases of the week before that – Shortkut..., Sankat City and Morning Walk – have ended up as box office disasters too.

Genelia to repeat Jaane Tu... act The actress is even doing another Pappu... song in her film Life Partner

2009-07-21T21:13:00.000+05:30

Genelia's forthcoming film Life Partner sees the actress reprising the shades of her character in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.

According to a press release, Life Partner too revolves around a bunch of friends with the focus being on Genelia.

About similarities between the two characters, Genelia said, "I was really surprised and was telling everyone in Life Partner that it might look planned. I am very excited and looking forward for the release of Life Partner, it is almost one year and I have had no release."

Genelia has also revisited her popular number Pappu Can't Dance. Apparently while shooting for a song from Life Partner, everyone kept reminding Genelia about he popularity of the Pappu song.

Genelia later requested the choreographers to include the Pappu step. They were a little hesitant but understood her sentiments and let Fardeen Khan and her dance to the step.

The song in question is called Teri Meri Ye Zindagi and has been picturised on the couple during their honeymoon in the film.

Sarkar 3 is shelved for good! RGV also confesses that his relationship with Bachchans is over

2009-07-21T21:12:00.002+05:30

When Ram Gopal Varma started working on Sarkar, he hoped to make a trilogy, just like The Godfather. However it seems like the third part of the franchise won't happen after all.

"Sarkar 3… is shelved for sure," the director told Mumbai Mirror adding that he could not do 'justice to it' since the graph would go down with the third film.

Sarkar released with much critical acclaim and box office success in 2005. It was followed by its sequel Sarkar Raj in 2008, which received mixed response from the critics as well as the audience.

Ram Gopal Varma hoped to make the third part where Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's and Amitabh Bachchan's characters would take the plot forward. However the maker says that despite having worked with his team of writers, he has not been able to come up with a script he's satisfied with.

"If you have seen The Godfather, the first part where Marlon Brando plays the head of the family is easily the most arresting of the three films," he was quoted by the paper as saying.

In an interesting confession, Ram Gopal Varma also mentioned that his 'screen relationship with the Bachchan family is over'. Further he refused to discuss 'the extent of proximity' of his relationship with the First Family of Bollywood.

Much is being speculated about the rumoured split and while none is speaking, this is perhaps one of the most candid confessions in the matter.

Varma however did assure that he would make 'something with 'the three Bachchans at some other stage in life'.

GOSS: Preity Zinta loses her cool? Rumour has it that the bubbly star wasn't amused when her nose bled

2009-07-21T21:11:00.002+05:30

A little birdie tells me that ad filmmaker Pradeep Sarkar has been getting it back from a lot of pretty women these days.

It seems the poor fellow spent much time and energy trying to get Deepika Padukone to enact an intimate scene for an advertisement not so long ago.

Now when he was shooting with Preity Zinta in Chennai, the 'bubbly' actress lost her cool when her nose started bleeding! I am told that the soaring temperature in Chennai got to the pretty damsel who then simply couldn't keep her composure.

It seems she threw quite a fit on the sets and was even heard telling her staff that she wasn't getting younger by the day and that she simply hated outdoor shoots.

Of course, after she was given adequate medical assistance Preity Zinta cooled down immediately.

Oddly enough the shoot was for a face bleach brand!

MJ's death to be treated as murder Police say there will be a criminal trial

Michael Jackson's death is to be treated as a murder and would be investigated as such after an autopsy has shown that the King of Pop died from an overdose of heavy-duty painkiller Diprivan, police said.

Police have told Jackson's family that they will press charges against one or more people within a few days and that there will be a criminal trial. According to Thesun.co.uk, the astonishing development was revealed in an interview by Terry Harvey, a long-time friend of the Jackson family.

"The autopsy shows that Michael died of a drug overdose with Diprivan and a range of pills in his stomach. He had needle marks on his neck and all over his body. The authorities have told the family the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) are pushing for a criminal charge," said Harvey.

"It is likely to be second-degree murder, due to the actions which led to his death. They have been assured that someone, or maybe more than one person, will be brought to trial. The family is working with the DEA and Los Angeles Police Department to work out which doctor prescribed Michael these drugs and how far back this serious problem runs," he added.

Last week La Toya Jackson told the News of the World she knew who had murdered her brother.

Jackson died in Los Angeles June 25. He was 50.

HOT: Irrfan gets steamy with Dia! The intense actor gets romantic with with the Mirza babe in Acid Factory

2009-07-21T21:09:00.002+05:30

Dia Mirza has high hopes from her forthcoming film Acid Factory. She is the only female face in this all guys action flick. And given that it's a Sanjay Gupta film, she is bound to be presented in an extremely glamorous look. The film is about a bunch of bad guys who wake up in an acid factory without any recollection of their past. The star cast is a mix of intense actors such as Manoj Bajpayee and Irrfan Khan and chocolate boys Dino Morea, Fardeen Khan and Aftab Shivdasani.

Now since Dia is the only heroine, one would have expected her to be paired opposite Fardeen or Dino. But surprisingly Dia romances the brooding Irrfan Khan in the film. Going by the promos, the couple share a steamy chemistry in the film. And fans who have got used to seeing Irrfan as the investigating officer in so many films, might be in for a surprise.

Interestingly when we asked Irrfan why a serious actor like him had accepted a Sanjay Gupta style film, he said, "I get to romance Dia. That's reason enough to do this film."

"Apart from romancing Dia, I have also done a number of risky stunts for the film," Irrfan added. About doing a hard core commercial action flick, Irrfan said, "When I asked the director to explain my role he said, 'All your life you have stressed over character details, now is your chance to have some fun. So just enjoy!'"

"Prince was taciturn, unusual for him, but we still had a hug," mirror.co.uk quoted Lester as saying.

"Paris gave me a tight hug and we just held each other for a while. We were both welling up. I told her that her dad would always lie in her heart and be remembered by at least half of the world. Paris replied: 'I'm just glad he is at peace'," he added.

'Colors' completes one year! Viacom 18's entertainment channel celebrates its first anniversary today

2009-07-21T21:01:00.001+05:30

Colors, India's leading Hindi general entertainment channel (GEC) by Viacom 18 Media Pvt Ltd (a joint venture between Viacom Inc and Network18), celebrates its first anniversary by setting record-breaking milestones.

Colors made fiscal 2009 a truly remarkable one in Indian television history, as it saw the birth and unprecedented rise of one of India's most preferred GECs. Within a year of launch, Colors has surpassed entrenched incumbents with exceptional program performance, innovative show formats and a fast growing loyal audience base.

Colors has been widely heralded as a "game changer" in the intensely competitive and cluttered GEC space and has had a significant "category growing" influence as well.

Key Highlights for FY 2008-2009:

Programming: Post a high decibel launch with flagship format show, Khatron ke Khiladi, Colors embarked on series of daily and weekly shows which have gradually built a loyal base of viewers for the channel and led to its leading position. Within nine months of launch, shows such as Balika Vadhu and Jai Shri Krishna established COLORS reputation for differentiated entertainment along with shows such as Na Aana Is Des Laado and Uttaran.

Advertising: Colors has generated a lot of advertiser traction commensurate with its stupendous viewership performance and robust revenue run rate.

Platform diversification and Affiliates: Colors has made major forays in terms of distribution in international markets, especially those with a large NRI diaspora, such as India, Australia/ANZ, Fiji, Japan/Korea/Taiwan, Nepal, Maldives and Sri Lanka. The channel plans to enter markets such as US, UK and the Middle East shortly. Distribution revenue has begun since the beginning of the new financial year and this holds tremendous upsides in the future, as the brand gets strengthened. The channel has also made headway in terms of content syndication deals for some of its leading shows in the sub-continent and the Middle East.

Awards: In view of the impressive launch and growth of the channel's viewership, Colors won several awards at all leading television award platforms ranging from India Today Women Achievers', Indian Television Academy, Gr8 Television to the PROMAX awards.

Colors also innovated with films — always a big draw with audiences — screening them without breaks.

It started out as the 10th general entertainment channel in India, but after a year in that space, Colors has ended up at the top.

Colors climbed to the No 1 position (TAM, TG C&S 4+, HSM) in week 15 of 2009 and 38th week post launch. Its journey has been remarkable. From 81 GRPs (Gross Rating Points) and the No 3 position on the day of the launch, Colors crossed 100 GRPs in the 2nd week; 200 GRPs in the 9th week; 250 GRPs in the 16th week and 300 GRPs in the 32nd week.

Sony to make film on Jacko's last moments High School Musical director Kenny Ortega will helm the project

2009-07-21T20:58:00.002+05:30

Sony is to release a movie based on more than 80 hours of footage filmed during Michael Jackson's final days, as he was rehearsing for his comeback concerts in London, trade paper Variety reported Monday.

Sony is expected to pay over $50 million for the rights to the footage, which was offered by concert promoter AEG to Hollywood film studios over the weekend.

The film will include several videos that were shot and meant to be shown during the concerts, including an alternative version of Jackson's most famous video, Thriller.

High School Musical director Kenny Ortega, who shot the rehearsal footage, is expected to become the director of the film, which could be released before year's end.

Though Universal, Paramount and 20th Century Fox were also interested in the footage, Sony had the inside track since the studio owns the music publishing rights to Jackson's songs.

The report said that AEG is also selling TV and video rights to the tribute concert featuring Justin Timberlake and other artistes, scheduled for Aug 29, on what would have been Jackson's 51st birthday.

The singers will perform the songs that the King of Pop had planned, accompanied by the band that rehearsed with him.
