Raavan Music Review

When the credits boast of composer AR Rahman, lyricist Gulzar and director Mani Ratnam, expectations are bound to be high. In Raavan, the trio has brought out a lethal combination presenting a soundtrack that is fresh, high on energy and in tune with the soul of the movie.

Starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, Raavan has six songs but no remixes.

The album starts with Beera that describes Abhishek's character in the film. With strong orchestration, congo beats and foot-tapping rhythm, the song instantly connects with the listener and is highly intriguing. Sung by Vijay Prakash, Mustafa Kutoane and Keerthi Sagathia, Beera is truly enthralling.

Next is Behene de. Wonderfully crooned by Karthik and Mohammed Irfan, it is the best song of the album. Even though it has a 50-second-long and haunting prelude, the listener doesn't lose interest. In fact, the prelude creates more curiosity about what is in store. The track has a punch and holds the attention of the listener till the end.

Changing the mood of the album is the next song called Thok de killi. Sung by Sukhwinder Singh, the fast-paced track is loud, rustic and yet impressive. The increased pace and rise in the tempo towards the end gives an adrenalin rush.

Then there is Ranjha ranjha, which is an average track belted out by Rekha Bhradwaj and Javed Ali. The other songs of the album are so captivating that this one fails to create a mark.

Up next is Khilli re, a slow, soft love song that brings out the longing of a woman for her lover.
Sung by Reena Bhardwaj in her sweet melodious voice, it has a balmy effect and the melody strikes a chord with the listener.

Finally, there is a wedding song Kata kata. The thumping beats and strong orchestration can make it chartbuster. Sung by Ila Arun, Sapna Awasthi and Kunal Ganjawala, the track has a celebratory tune and a Rajasthani folk touch.

On the whole, the album is a musical treat and impresses thoroughly. Away from the usual psychedelic beats and run-of-the-mill compositions, the music of Raavan shows that Rahman is truly a maestro and when he teams up with Gulzar and Mani Ratnam, the result is pure magic.

Deepika Ain't Ready For any Relationship

Deepika Padukone seems to be once bitten, twice shy. The model-turned-actress says that after her break-up with Ranbir Kapoor, she would reconsider revealing private matters in public.

Sporting a leaner-than-ever look on the cover of the May issue of Vogue India magazine, courtesy "religious workouts", and a glow on her face, the 24-year-old actress doesn't regret coming out about her affair but confesses to having second thoughts about revealing such details in the future.

"We were young and in love and I really didn't see anything wrong in being vocal about that. I thought being honest would work well but yes I would definitely think twice (about being so public) again," Deepika said in an interview to the magazine.

Photographed by Atul Kasbekar and styled by Edward Lalrempuia, the actress admitted she has evolved in terms of personal style.

"My style has been evolving and I am experimenting with new silhouettes. Overall though I just believe in being well-turned-out at all times," said Deepika, who is "obsessed" with anklets and ripped jeans.

A high street and denim special, the May issue of the fashion bible hits the stands Friday.

Aishwarya's plan for Vipul Shah

Neither Aishwarya nor Akshay Kumar have any dates to spare to shoot a song for Vipul Shah's Action Replayy. The filmmaker agrees that his stars have a genuine problem, but he is not ready to release the movie without that number.

To bail Shah out, Aishwarya has suggested that he should fly down with his unit to London. She would fly from Cannes to London and shoot the song with Akshay in night shifts when the actor wouldn't be shooting for Patiala House.

"It is very, very generous and considerate of Aishwarya to suggest that she'd join me from Cannes, that I come to London and shoot the song with her and Akshay. She is really working very hard. Both Akshay and she have a genuine date problem," said Shah.

Akshay is in London for 90 days to shoot for Nikhil Advani's Patiala House.

But Shah is still in two minds about whether to take up his leading lady's kind offer.

"I need four days to shoot my song. I don't know if I can impose on director Nikhil Advani's time and money like this. Let's see. In any case, I've now postponed the release of Action Replayy from July to September."

Since the other big Aishwarya starrer Raavan releases in June, Shah thought it wise to re-position his film on a later date.

I never suspect my husband : Dimpy ganguly

Just two months after her marriage to Rahul Mahajan on national television, Dimpy Ganguly is bringing their private life back on the small screen. She tests her husband on a TV show to prove to the world that he is loyal.

Rahul and Dimpy episode is the grand finale of UTV Bindass' "Emotional Atyachaar" - a show about infidelity. And Rahul has emerged clean.

"I didn't conduct this test because I had any doubt on Rahul. It's just because ever since we have got married, many people have asked me, 'if he is trustworthy, do I find him dependable and why I married him despite his reputation?'. So this was done to shut them up," Dimpy, 21, told IANS.

The episode featuring flamboyant Rahul trapped between two females will be aired on Friday 11 p.m.

"Rahul is the most loving and caring husband and extremely dependable. Now all those people who doubted his integrity can see for themselves," she said.

Dimpy had pipped 14 contestants and over 16,500 applicants on Imagine TV's "Rahul Dulhania Le Jaayega" to marry Rahul, son of late Bharatiya Janata Party leader Pramod Mahajan.

The young model is enjoying every bit of her married life and says she wants to "take it easy" on the professional front.

"This is our courtship period since we didn't get too much time alone before we get married. We're still exploring new things about each other and want to enjoy this time. So I want to take my time to (start) work," she said.

Genelia Replacing Rani Mukherjee

It's a common adage that 'Bollywood is the place where fate changes every Friday'. The same fact can also be reflected on the ever-changing ad arena. On one hand, where (almost) every single brand is trying to enhance its image by appointing Brand Ambassadors dime a dozen, even the Bollywood actors are also having a field day, under the sun!


In a place where 'replacement' seems to be the key word, comes yet more news which only reinstates the said term. India's most popular (natural) soap Margo, till lately, which was endorsed by Rani Mukherjee. But sources said that she has been replaced by the 'bubbly-cious' Genelia D'Souza.


With this endorsement, it will be the ninth brand in Genelia's kitty. For starters, the brands that she is endorsing includes the likes of Spinz, Cadbury's Perk, Fanta, Virgin Mobiles, LG Mobiles, Fastrack watches, Dabur hair Oil and Garnier.

To sum up, Genelia seems to be the flavour of every season and every reason!

Tamanna Thanks Director Shankar

No, this is not for roping in the actress for any future project from the director’s stable.
But for heaping laurels on her that she would soon occupy the place of Simran in Tamil film industry at a recent function in Chennai.

Says Tamannah, “I never expected that Shankar sir would appreciate me like this. His words were very encouraging and I am thankful to him for holding me in such a high position. A top filmmaker like Shankar hailing me is not a small thing.”

She adds: “Though I was there in a couple of Tamil films earlier, it was Shankar sir’s S Pictures that gave me a break with ‘Kalloori’.
It was only then I was able to occupy a decent position in Kollywood. So I am always grateful to him.”

Reiterating that her relationship with Karthi had never crossed the professional limits, Tamannah says, “We are good friends and good colleagues.
There is nothing between us beyond that point. We both are professionals

Katrina Kaif in tamil 3 idiots

Actress Katrina Kaif is in advanced talks with a South Indian production company to star in the Tamil remake of Rajkumar Hirani's record breaking film 3 Idiots.

3 Idiots, which is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, starred Aamir Khan, R Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor and Boman Irani. The movie has so far been the biggest grossing Indian film of all time.

While speculation has been rife about the Tamil and Telugu remakes of 3 Idiots, Businessofcinema.com has it from reliable sources that Katrina Kaif will most likely be starring in the Tamil version of the film along with Tamil superstar Vijay.

Additionally, another leading Bollywood actress, whose name cannot be revealed at this point in time, has been approached for the Telugu version of the same film along with Telugu actor Pawan Kalyan.

According to market speculation, south Indian production house, Gemini Film Circuit, has acquired the Telugu and Tamil remake rights of 3 Idiots from Chopra. However, an official announcement has not been forthcoming.

According to a source close to the development, both the Bollywood beauties are being offered a huge amount for the remakes of 3 Idiots.

Opposing Amitabh's Visit to srilanka

Canadian Tamils joined protests against the proposed visit of Amitabh Bachchan to Sri Lanka to attend a Bollywood awards ceremony.

After a large number of Tamils protested outside the bungalow of Amitabh Bachchan in Mumbai, Canadian Tamils too raised their voice against the superstar's visit to Sri Lanka to be the chief chief guest at the India International Films Awards (IIFA) function in July.

"Amitabh Bachchan is a great hero for us in the Tamil diaspora, but we are very disturbed and profoundly saddened by our hero's proposed visit to a regime which has perpetrated crimes against Tamils,'' said the Canadian Tamil Congress in a statement recently.

"By visiting Sri Lanka, Amitabh Bachchan will be lending credibility to a regime which has destroyed Tamils ruthlessly and committed horrendous human rights violations,'' said Canadian Tamil Congress national spokesman David Poopalapillai.

"When Tamils continue to suffer in Sri Lanka and numerous human rights bodies have implicated the regime in crimes against humanity, we plead with a person of Bachchan's stature not to go there to help a government that is desperately seeking recognition from the world community in spite of its crimes,'' he said.

Seeking solidarity from the Bollywood super star, the Tamil leader said, "We want to bring to his notice the decision of the Commonwealth nations last year not to allow Colombo the right to hold the next meeting. If the Commonwealth can snub Sri Lanka, why not Amitabh Bachchan? He should respect our feelings. We love him and we are great fans of his whole family, particularly his daughter-in-law Ashwariya Rai.''

Tamils marched from the super star's Pratiksha bungalow to his Jalsa residence in Mumbai and met him Sunday, urging him to boycott the Colombo awards ceremony.

Canada is home to 300,000 Tamils from Sri Lanka, making them the largest group outside the island nation.

Canadian Tamils were in the forefront of worldwide protests against the Sri Lankan military assault against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam last year.

Vidhya Balan Exhausted of shooting

Vidya Balan, who has been shooting outdoors on the streets of Delhi for "Who Killed -Jessica" from dawn till 10.30 pm (local time), is extremely exhausted.

"There's no time to do anything. By the time we wrap up, all I want to do is crash out for the day," she said. 

"Sadly, I haven't even been able to meet my sister who stays in Gurgaon (on the outskirts of Delhi). She's a wife, mother and a jobholder. By the time she comes from work it's too late for us to meet up," the actress said. 

However, Vidya is quick to point out that she loves Delhi. 

"I love the wide open spaces, the broad streets and the crowded lanes. Rani (Mukerji) and I have been shooting outdoors. Since she's my favourite actress from the immediately-senior generation, I am happy to be sharing camera space with her," she said. 

Priyanka Chopra Slamms reports about Buttler

Actress Priyanka Chopra has slammed reports that her Scottish friend Gerard Butler has been signed to play one of her husbands in the upcoming film Saat Khoon Maaf.

The film, which will be helmed by Vishal Bharadwaj is said to be a celluloid version of the Ruskin Bond's book Susanna's Seven Husbands.

Six out of the seven male leads have been finalized with Naseeruddin Shah, John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Irrfan Khan, Anu Kapoor and Naseer's youngest son Vivaan acting in the film.

It was reported in the media recently that Butler is tipped to play the role of the seventh husband after Priyanka used her personal rapport with Butler to rope him in for the film.

"Guys just to clarify things.. Gerard butler is not in saat khoon maaf..I don't know where these fictional stories come out as news," Priyanka wrote on her Twitter page.

The National-award-winning actress also insists she will be more careful with her tweets on the micro-blogging website in the future.

"I'm almost scared to tweet nothing now cause of journos and their overactive imaginations who make up stories by just presuming my mindframe," Priyanka wrote.

Butler, who had visited India last year had met Priyanka on the sets of her film What's your Raashee and she is said to have thrown a farewell party for him.

Shammi asks Deepika for fresh dates

Veteran Bollywood actor Shammi Kapoor had such a good time sipping coffee with actress Deepika Padukone, that he has asked her out once again.

"Morning love. How are thee? Only get to see you in (Vijay) Mallya match. Another cuppa another day? What say you," the 78-year-old actor wrote in a post on Padukone's Twitter page.

However Padukone, who is busy shooting for her upcoming movie 'Break Ke Baad', politely declined the offer.

"namaste shammi uncle! would love to... only thing is I've been shooting everyday and packing up way past your coffee time," she said in a reply on the microblogging website.

The 24-year-old actress had earlier admitted of getting the surprise of her life on being asked by Kapoor for a cup of coffee.

"I've met Shammiji a couple of times and always felt this warmth towards him and I can feel the same from him. Even his wife has been very nice to me. Apparently he was tweeting me and I didn't even imagine that Shammiji would be on Twitter. But that happened just before I came here so when I go back I'll have my coffee date with him," Deepika had told PTI in an interview.

Shilpa Shetty Supports Lalith Modi

Lalit Modi, under the Income Tax department's scanner for financial irregularities, continues to get the backing of the IPL franchise owners with Rajasthan Royals co-owner Shilpa Shetty defending the event's embattled Commissioner.

"I support Lalit as someone who has been part of IPL. It is Lalit's brain child. Because of Lalit IPL happened," Shilpa told PTI.

"If there is something murky happening behind the scenes, I am unaware about it and in that case, let law take its own course. However, people should not jump to conclusions. Till you are not proven guilty, you are not guilty," she said.

"We must not forget that it was Lalit who made IPL successful in the overseas market. We must give him that credit. It is all because of his effort that IPL has become successful across the world," she said.

Shilpa's statement comes in the wake of recent media reports of an Income Tax department probe revealing that Modi holds a silent stake in three IPL teams - the Rajasthan Royals, Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab.

"I don't understand what is happening. Every day, new things are coming out. As far as our (Rajasthan Royal) papers are concerned, we have all legal documents. About the remaining teams, I have no idea. I don't know who is involved and from where has the money come," the actress said.

"As an Indian, I think we all should be proud of IPL. It has generated not just a lot of revenue but also pride in the sporting space and created job opportunities. IPL has been good in a lot of ways," Shilpa added.

Katrina stands takes initiative against female infanticide

Bollywood star Katrina Kaif who has always voiced her support towards fighting for the cause of female infanticide recently inaugurated the opening of the “Little Darlings Programme” –meant for the care of abandoned toddlers.

Following in her philanthropic mother - Suzanne Turquotte’s footsteps the beautiful Katrina Kaif took a private charter from Mumbai to Tamil Nadu to make her presence felt as she visited the Claretian Mercy Home run by the CESSS in partnership with Relief projects India (RPI) and Sisters of Charity of St.Mary.


The name of the department that provides skill development facilities to the children who are in the toddler age bracket was coined by Katrina who has actively participated in all the services of Claretine Mercy Home.

Katrina Kaif who was the pioneer in having her brands tie-up with charitable causes was present to extend her support for a program that would nurture abandoned babies with all the possible nutritional and health care, directly over see the education and growth of differently-able children and also in the near future start a separate home for those infants who are unlikely to be adopted.


Katrina’s says, “ I love kids and hence this is a cause that is very dear to me. I am immensely proud of my mothers work and only hope to be of a greater support. “


Katrina Kaif the flavor of the season has her hands full this year with 'Rajneeti', 'Tees Maar Khan' , 'Dostana 2' and her plethora of brands. However the star has always managed to take out time to pursue her humanitarian efforts.

Aishwarya rai's first fullfledged Comedy Film

Aishwarya Rai has three very different films coming up this year, but director Vipul Shah says his film Action Replay will bring to the audiences her first full-fledged comedy.

"Of course comedy, which is the hardest genre to do, is not taken seriously at the awards. But in my film, Aishwarya has done comedy for the first time. She may have attempted it here and there earlier. But this is her first full-fledged comedy role. But she's welcome to get the awards for her other two releases...I don't mind," Shah said.

Mani Ratnam's Raavan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish are the other two films she will be doing this year.

While Bhansali's Guzaarish is set to release in November, Raavan and Action Replay, which also stars Akshay Kumar, are due to hit the theatres in quick succession within a month.

While Raavan is slated for a June 18 release, Shah is all set to release his film in July, arguing that the two films are completely different in mood, theme and treatment.

But the filmmaker had a bitter experience last year when his Salman Khan-starrer London Dreams released a month after the actor's home production Main Aur Mrs.Khanna.

Now apparently Shah plans to sit down with Mani Ratnam and figure out a release strategy whereby neither film suffers.

He said: "Raavan and Action Replay are very different films. And I thought I'd release (mine) in July. But I think I'll now discuss it with Aishwarya and Mani Ratnam. We need to work as one big family in this industry.

"Besides, I still have a song to shoot whereas Raavan is complete. I've yet to figure out when I can shoot it because both Aishwarya and Akshay are constantly travelling. We were supposed to shoot it earlier this year in the snow in Manali. Now we may go higher up at the Rohtang Pass or change the location for the song completely," the director added

Kamal Haasan or sanjay dutt to play the role of osho

Almost two decades after his death in his ashram in Pune, charismatic yet controversial preacher "Bhagwan Rajneesh" - also dubbed the "Guru of Sex" due to his advocacy of free sex - is to be resurrected in a film on his life and actors like Sanjay Dutt and Kamal Haasan from the Indian film industry are being considered to play the main lead.

Italian film director Antonino Lakshen Sucameli, an Osho disciple himself, is in talks with production companies in both India and abroad as well as senior Indian actors to resume work on Osho: The Film, which was conceptualised more than five years ago.

The 54-year-old, who was in Nepal this month to attend a course at the Osho Tapoban in Kathmandu, is now back in India to hold talks with powerful Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan and Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, an associate in Nepal said.

"The shooting will start by next year," Swami Rishi from Osho Tapoban, Kathmandu told IANS. "Part of the film will be shot in India."

When Sucameli, known for his mystic films Blue Line and Zorba Il Buddha, began work on the script, Kabir Bedi and Irrfan Khan were also approached to act in it. The director is still looking for a Hollywood actress to play Clara, the journalist through whose eyes the mesmerising - as well as turbulent - life of Osho will unfold.

Inspired by Bertolucci's Little Buddha and Oliver Stone's JFK, Sucameli plans to weave in his film videos on Osho, who was born Chandra Mohan Jain in Madhya Pradesh in 1931 and in the 1970s established himself as a new age guru advocating a luxurious life-style as well as experimental therapies that combined sex with violence.

When Clara arrives in the ashram to investigate Osho's life, including his deportation from the US in 1985, she falls in love with his Indian security chief Satyam, and an East-West love story punctuated by flashbacks from India's colonial past forms the core of the film.

Sucameli met Osho in 1978 when he arrived in India and became his disciple.

Osho's sensational life has attracted other filmmakers as well. In 2006, an Indian company, Media One Venture of Chandigarh, had announced plan to make a film, Guru of Sex that was to have cast Sir Ben Kingsley as Osho.

Katrina Unveils Nakshatra Diamond's new variety

Katrina Kaif launched the Nakshatra Vivaah – an exclusive wedding line from. She was accompanied by Gitanjali Group CMD Mehul Choksi.

The new collection and campaign is inspired by the ancient Indian texts..

“Today’s Indian bride wants to be modern and traditional at the same time. We have created the new Vivaah collection from Nakshatra to suit her needs. Each piece has a unique contemporary look, but is also based on the seven stone floral clusters which is considered in Indian mythology to be a symbol of Divine Luck,” said Choksi.

Kaif says, “Diamonds are a unique gemstone, and have a very special place in the hearts of most Indian women. And the much loved floral pattern that inspires the designs in this collection adds both beauty and good luck. I believe that every Indian bride would really love to have jewellery set like this for her special day.”

Singam Unites Sun and sony

Two leaders in Kollywood – Sun Pictures & Sony Music - join hands for Suriya starrer ‘Singam’. This marks the beginning of the association Sony Music and Sun Pictures.

After redefining music marketing in Kollywood with chart busters like Dhasavathaaram, Vaaranam Aayiram, Aayirathil Oruvan, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa and Sakkarakatti, Sony Music has taken another gigantic step to consolidate its leadership.

Kareena Kapoor Scared Under Water

It took Kareena Kapoor close to six hours to shoot an underwater scene for Kambakkth Ishq .

The actress was shooting a scene at Goregaon Sports Club a few days back. It was a scene in continuation to a previous one shot in Italy. Scuba divers were there to guide Bebo but the actress was feeling jittery underwater.

She dived in as many as four times but quickly emerged back again because she was scared.

The actress has told a tabloid that she felt "claustrophobic" underwater and therefore kept pulling back to the surface after every dive.

Her co-star Akshay Kumar and the scuba divers on the sets guided her and assured her that she could do it. Eventually, some water was reportedly taken out of the pool and after many retakes Kareena did manage to shoot the scene.

'Kambakkth Ishq' has Kareena playing a starlet. The movie is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Sabir Khan . It has cameo appearances by Hollywood stars like Sylvester Stallone, Brandon Routh and Denise Richards.

Jacqueline Fernandez to do an Item Song

Sri Lankan beauty Jacqueline Fernandez will now be seen in an item number in Sajid Nadiadwala's Housefull which releases later this month.

The Bollywood actress' second film Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai with Riteish Deshmukh released today.
In Housefull, the 2006 Miss Sri Lanka grooves to the remix of hit song of Laawaris - Apni toh jaise taise.

Sajid said Jacky, as Jacqueline is popularly called, fitted the bill to carry off the song, which also stars Akshay Kumar and Riteish.

"She will be seen in an out and out glamorous avatar in the song. Jacqueline has never looked finer and Akshay and Riteish are at it again with their comic best," Sajid said.

The remixed song is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and choreographed by Farah Khan.

"After watching her in Aladin and glimpses of Jaane Kaha Se Aayi Hai, the team was convinced that Jacky could essay the character brilliantly. And after watching the song everyone agrees that she hasn't disappointed," Sajid said.

R&B singer Rihanna dates Baseball Player

After months of speculation, R&B singer Rihanna has finally confirmed that she is dating baseball player Matt Kemp.

"Umm, he's my boyfriend," said the 22-year-old singer. "It's new, and it's fun, and it's nothing too serious, you know. I don't want anything that's going to take up so much of my energy and time right now in a bad way. I just want to have fun, and that's what it's about," aceshowbiz.com. quoted her as saying.

Rihanna and Kemp were introduced by friends in November last year. The two sparked romance rumours after they were spotted having an intimate time during their vacation at a luxury resort in Cabo San Lucas earlier this year.

Gul Panag--Locked in train restroom

Bollywood actress Gul Panag found herself accidentally locked in the toilet of a train on her way to Chandigarh.

The Dor star was travelling in Shatabdi Express and was worried that the latch was not strong enough to hold the door, but it turned out to be more strong than expected.

"Got locked in toilet of Shatabdi. Was worried about the latch not holding and thus my modesty, but turns out it held good. More than good(sic)," the avid Twitter user wrote on her account.

The 31-year-old actress struggled inside for a good 10 minutes before she managed to open the "rusted latch".

"Ten min spent in wildly moving jail (toilet) was not #fun. On a brighter note, about to reach C'garh(sic)," she wrote.

Gul is not the only one to have found herself in such a situation, actress Priety Zinta was locked in the Delhi airport toilet in January and had to climb out of it as the door did not budge.

Ironically, Gul was in the capital recently to propagate the right to sanitation among school children on World Health Day at a function organised by Sulabh School Sanitation Club and Sulabh International Social Service Organisation.

Geeta Basra stalked and tortured

Bollywood starlet Geeta Basra is being stalked by a young man for the past six months and even though she has taken the matters to the police, there hasn't been much respite.

Though the 26-year-old actress hasn't seen this man in person, she is being constantly harassed through phone calls and SMSs, something which is making it hard for Geeta to even "find breathing space" for herself.

The actress had as many as 100 texts in her phone mailbox on a single day with dozens of calls from the stalker.

"It is all getting really sickening now and it was about time I took the matter in my hands," said Geeta who made her presence felt in Bollywood with Dil Diya Hai followed by The Train (both with Emraan Hashmi).

"There are fans and followers and there is nothing wrong at all if they try to approach you, strike a small conversation and give you your space. However, this particular fan has crossed all limits and has now driven me to a point where a strict action has to be taken against him," she told PTI.

Calling himself Akshay, this obsessed fan started making phone calls to Geeta six months back. However, once Geeta got a hint that the fan was crossing the lines of being just a fan/follower, she started keeping her distance and avoided his calls.

"This is when this guy started harassing me through SMSs. He started texting me with messages like Yeh nan samajhe ki main aapko tang kar raha hoon. Agar aap call pick karte toh main khush hota. Maine tumse pyaar kiya hai, koyi drama nahi chal raha, samjhi (Don't think that I am trying to harass you. If you would have picked my call, I would have been happy. I love you and it is no drama)'.

"When I didn't respond to him at all, the frequency only increased rather than going down," says Geeta approached the police after the matter went out of her control.

The police then called the fan on the number from which he was sending SMSs to Geeta. On being warned, he did relent for a while. However, it was back to square one soon after and the stalking continued.

"As it happened, he started calling from different numbers. He had six of them and kept using them on rotational basis. He was never threatening but always said that he would kill himself if I didn't pick his call or respond to him.

"Really, I had no right reasons to care and kept ignoring him. This is where things took a turn for worse as one fine day he announced loud and clear that he was taking his life," Geeta remembers the horrific days gone by.

Manisha Koirala Getting married

Bollywood actress and the daughter of one of the most powerful political houses in Nepal, Manisha Koirala, seems finally set to tie the knot - and in Nepal.

The 40-year-old actress, the country's most eligible single woman, will finally say "I do" to Nepali businessman Samrat Dahal with the wedding set for June 19.

"Mutual acquaintances told me about a week ago that Manisha Koirala was getting married in Nepal," said Nepali film director Dipendra Khanal, whose upcoming release "Dharma" will mark the return of the actress to the Nepali film industry nearly two decades after she left Nepal to storm Bollywood.

Manisha, presently shooting in Kerala for a Telugu film, will return to Kathmandu on Friday, Khanal told IANS.

She was in Nepal last month to attend the last rites of her grand-uncle Girija Prasad Koirala. At a press conference afterwards, she said the patriarch of Nepal's politics and five-time prime minister had lamented to her that nobody loved him; people flocked to him only to get something out of him.
She was asked about her wedding plans but she parried the questions without divulging her new romance.

The would-be bridegroom was reportedly educated in the US and is a businessman. While not much is known about him, his father Surendra Dahal made his fortune in the leather industry.

The wedding will be a three-day extravaganza that is expected to see Mumbai's stars descend on Kathmandu.

Manisha, grand-daughter of Nepal's first elected prime minister Girija Prasad Koirala, had a minor fling with politics in 2005 when she supported King Gyanendra's bid to seize power with an army-backed coup.

However, the move backfired and led to the abolition of monarchy in Nepal, once the world's only Hindu kingdom.

It is being speculated that Manisha could enter politics finally. Her aunt Sujata Koirala is the deputy prime minister of Nepal while two of her uncles are MPs.

Her father Prakash Koirala was a minister in King Gyanendra's cabinet but was expelled by his Nepali Congress party that led the pro-democracy movement against the king.

Manisha acted in just one film in Nepal, Pheri Bhetaula (We will meet again), that was, however, never released.

She got her big break from modelling in Nepal when she was cast by Bollywood director Subhash Ghai in Saudagar and then went on to act in such acclaimed films as Mani Ratnam's Dil Se and Mumbai, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Khamoshi and Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 1942: A Love Story.

Up in the Air Film review

Up In The Air is a terrific film. It’s sparkling. It’s sad. It’s deeply engaging and painfully insightful.

George Clooney plays Ryan Bingham, a man who fires people for a living. He spends 300-odd days a year on the road but this isn’t a problem. Bingham has turned air travel into high art. He’s happy to call a soulless airport hotel home. But Ryan’s comfortably numb life gets a jolt when he is asked to take a younger colleague on his road show. And he enters a relationship with a woman who seems as happy as him to keep it no-strings-attached. She says: think of me as you with a vagina. But that not as easy as it seems. Ryan discovers that family and relationships are a little more than mere baggage.

Working from a novel by Walter Kirn, director Jason Reitman creates a film that is so poignant and rich, that you actually find yourself sympathizing with Bingham, a man who is a corporate downsizer and gives motivational talks on how to avoid commitment.

Reitman doesn’t sugar-coat the humiliation and sadness of being fired. What Bingham does is brutal and nasty.

At one point, his colleague, played terrifically by Anna Kendrick, eagerly asks: For the love of God, can I fire the next one please! But Reitman expertly and effortlessly mines this material for laughs and emotions that never veer into melodrama or sentimentality.

The centerpiece of the film is of course Clooney’s heart-wrenching performance. Here is a global superstar working his legendary charm. But at the same time, he isn’t afraid of being and looking human, and more than a little frayed at the edges.

Up In The Air will devastate you even as it makes you laugh. If you’re going to see one film this weekend, make it Up In The Air.

Paiyaa Film Review

Paiyaa is the first summer release, which had huge expectations due to promotions and the good looking stills of tamanna. But the end product doesn't look promising as expected. In the trailer, they had mentioned Paiyaa to be from the makers of run, sandakozhi,,, but to be frank, paiyaa doesn't even get close to those blockbuster movies from Lingusamy,

Story Analysis:

Karthi(Siva) an engineer by profession is in search for a job,during that process he end up landing in Mumbai and gets into trouble with Mumbai dada(Miliand Soman). Tamanna (Charu) is an innocent gal, due to some family trouble, she runs out of her home and is also in search for a job in bangalore. As usual villains follow her to bring her back to home, this is where Siva meets her. Siva falls in love with charu at first sight. At certain point, he also gets a chance to take charu to mumbai to drop charu at her grandmother's home. During the journey, siva's love strengthens but he wouldn't get a chance to propose her. As usual again all the baddies land at Mumbai and Siva fights them.The climax is all about how siva save himself as well as charu from the gang & how Siva and Charu join together.

Cast and Crew Analysis:

This is karthi's first commercial film, so at times when he speak some serious dialogues, the audience are at splits. He still has the hangover of 1000 thil oruvan movie. But still, he did his part well. He should improve a lot in dancing and concentrate more on his sense of costumes.Tamanna looked ravishing and cute. She has improved a lot in acting. Special mention should be made about the costumes of tamanna, It really suited her well and color tone of her dress was perfect.

Miliand Soman looked dangerous but didn't impress us in anyway. Apart from him,, there were 'n' villains and all looked alike with huge body and long hair, it was irritating to see them.

Yuvan was the biggest plus for this movie, all songs were catchy, and he scored well with the back ground music, everything was perfect. Editing by anthony was good. Cinematography by madhi was worth mentioning. Few of the stunts looked good and as usual some superman stunts were there.

General Analysis:

I think Lingusamy can't ever come out from the effect of making run/sandakozhi. In the same fashion, there is a fight before interval and a fight in climax.First half was good with some comedies and songs, But the second half was not up the mark. Towards the end, the speed of the screenplay was very slow.

In spite of having 4 choreographer's for the movie, all the visuals for songs were not up to the mark, to put in one word, all songs were wasted on screen. They should have done justice to yuvan's music. karthi should join in some dance school and learn to dance soon, he cant just randomly lift his legs and hands and go around the actress in forth coming movies.

Over all it's a movie which can be seen once for the sake of yuvan's music, tamanna and of course karthi. Apart from it, this movie has got nothing great which is worth mentioning. But tamanna fans don't ever miss this movie.

Expected Days Of Successful Run: 30 Days

My Verdict: Above Average

Bottom Line: Tamanna fans don't ever miss this movie and especially addada mazhai song !..

My Ratings:2.5/5

Barefoot campaign by Heather Graham and Kristen Bell

Hollywood beauties Heather Graham and Kristen Bell are planning to walk barefoot for a day to raise awareness about poverty-stricken children who don't have the luxury of wearing shoes.

The two stars are teaming up with American footwear firm TOMS Shoes and ditching their stilettos on 8 April to prove how difficult it is to live without shoes, Contactmusic reported.

They're also urging fans to come forward and participate generously to the cause.

"I'm going barefoot for one day without shoes to raise awareness about the impact a simple pair of shoes can have on a child's life. So join me on April 8. Take off your shoes and spread the word,"
Bell said.

However Graham admits she is not very comfortable about the prospect of walking barefoot.

"I'm pretty nervous about it because I live in New York City and it's really, really gross here," Graham said.

Hairspray star Brittany Snow and documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock are the other Hollywood A-listers who have decided to be a part of this endeavour.

Priyanka Tweets About Children's education

With India giving children the right to elementary education, Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra has decided to be at the forefront of affairs and contribute in whatever which way she can in making the act a success.

"Education is now a fundamental right! The PM (Prime Minister Manmohan Singh) has enforced the Right of Children to free and compulsory Education Act...It's a landmark move," Priyanka posted on her Twitter account.

"This ensures that every child, irrespective of gender or social education, has a right to education. This is the first step...but there is much more to be done to ensure that this act translates into concrete and meaningful steps.

"Not preaching, but let's find ways to help make this a reality in whatever way we can. I'm reaching out to the NGO's I support to see how I can contribute," added the 27-year-old.

The Right to Education Act promises 10 broad objectives including free and compulsory education to all children in the 6-14 age group. This means millions of children will now get education at least up to class eight. Currently, in India, nearly 200 million children in the 6-14 age group are in schools while nearly 8.1 million do not go to schools.

Aamir Khan to Host Crorepati - 3

Bollywood's Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan is likely to host the fourth season of TV's most popular game show Kaun Banega Crorepati?, according to unconfirmed reports.

In the past superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan have played hosts. While Big B hosted the first and second season, SRK took over the reigns from him for the third season.

Reports also suggest that Aamir, who is riding high on the success of 3 Idiots, is still undecided. Let's hope we get to see Aamir soon on the small screen.
