Tanushree Dutta – Hair We go…

The actress, who's turned into something of a style chameleon this year, was spotted showing off her new 'do – turning heads of passers-by, and the assembled paparazzi. Tanu who has been known to change her fashion sense now and again is back but this time in a different way as she is ready to spark a bob revolution by cutting her hair in a short bob. She recently got a new hairdo from hairstylist Guy Kremer in Calcutta and the reason behind this is to beat the scorching heat in her own way. “I like experimenting with my hair and after getting this hair cut I m getting lots of compliments from near and dear one. hope my fan like it as well.” says, Tanu.

 Govinda’s daughter; Bollywood’s new glamour girl

She unintentionally created quite a stir when she escorted Salman Khan during the IIFA Awards a year ago. Ever since, there has been speculation that Govinda’s beautiful daughter Narmmadaa Ahuja would enter Bollywood. Putting rumours to rest, it’s now clear that the girl will soon follow her dad’s footsteps into the world of cinema.

Narmmadaa is said to be a bubbly and spunky girl, full of enthusiasm and go-getter spirit. Though she carries off Indian as well as western looks and styles almost effortlessly, she might best fit in a glamour girl image. What’s more! The girl has already been signed by a famous producer, whose name will be revealed only next week.

Meanwhile, numerologist Niraj Mancchanda (who has added the extra ‘m’ and ‘a’ in Narmmadaa’s name) says, “Watch out for her. She will get a lot of offers after August.” Let’s see if his crystal ball of numbers creates more magic.

Vidya's Story  

Vidya Balan's drastic weight loss put Ishqiya producers Vishal Bharadwaj and Manasi Maroo into a quandry. There was some patch work to be done and Vidya had to don the same costume for continuity. The costumes that she was to wear for the film now do not fit her and had to be altered completely. A source said, "Vidya had lost 10kgs and is looking absolutely stunning. However her Ishiqiya costumes no longer fit her and thus had to be altered to her size." But the change was
worth it as the source continued saying, "Though the unit was compelled to alter Vidya's outfits the result was worth it. Vidya looked absolutely gorgeous in the shoot."  It may be known that Vidya
has become a fitness freak and does not miss her daily dose of exercises. "Keeping fit has benefitted Vidya a lot. It has brought a glow on her face."

AFTER SRIDEVI  MADHURI AND KAJOL , KAREENA IS THE ONLY ACTRESS WHO CAN CARRY ON SOLO FILMS WITH SUCCESS

 There are only a few actresses who can carry the film on their shoulders. In the olden days it was Nargis. The actress became immortal with Mother India. The 70s was ruled by Rekha. Came in the 80s and it is Sridevi who did the honours. Madhuri and Kajol reigned supreme in the 90s. But in the milliennium era it is Kareena Kapoor who calls the shot. A trade pundit said, "Kareena is the only actress who can give solo hits. She has the guts and the talent to carry the entire film on her shoulder." Jab We Met was a sparkling example of what Kareena can do. "When it comes to choosing an actress that will guarantee safe returns at the box-office, it is Kareena kapoor. Producers in business will vouch for that. Kareena has that zing in her that very few actresses possess," said the trade source.

 Preity Zinta

Preity Zinta's laptop has been bombarded with mails from her friends and fans wishing her luck for IPL and also congratulating her on her team's victory at the recent matches held in South Africa. Most mails praised her team saying that the players were extremely dexterous on the field.
Says a source, "Preity is quite touched by so much of love and affection from people. She has been down with severe throat congestion and thats why her doctor dint allow her to travel  and take a 10 hour fight and so her couldnt come down to vote. Otherwise, Preity is one actor who has always been a front runner in lending her support to issues concerning India. She has always been a responsible citizen."
"Inspite of being unwell she is still cheering for her team. She has now fallen in love with cricket. She respects the players a lot because she thinks they are the ones who are the real heroes since they dont even get "retakes" to prove their performance!!", adds the source.

Madhuri and Ranbir in Prakash Jha’s next?

The current buzz is that Madhuri Dixit will be seen opposite Ranbir Kapoor in director Prakash Jha's next untitled venture. Mads has worked with Ranbir's father Rishi Kapoor years ago in 'Yaarana' and 'Prem Granth,' so she must be comfortable with the Kapoor family.

Bollywood's old trend has been pairing older men with younger girls.  Be it Rishi Kapoor in 'Deewani,' Big B in 'Suryanvansh,' or even recently SRK in 'Om Shanti Om' and 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.'  These older male actors have shared sizzling chemistry with their younger female leads.  Will an older female actor be able to create on screen magic with a younger lead? Only time will tell.

But since Shahid Kapur and Vidya Balan and Ranbir Kapoor and Bipasha Basu have been successful on screen, we ask why not?!

Zulfi ties up with Suresh Raina to start clothes boutique

Actor Zulfi Syed has collaborated with his friend and cricketing sensation Suresh Raina to open a snazzy clothes boutique in the latter’s hometown Ghaziabad.

Zulfi, who already owns a hi-end boutique called ‘Flo’ in Mumbai, has been doing roaring business, designing for top shots like Sahara supremo Subroto Roy and cricketers Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Raina.

Talking about his upcoming venture with Raina, Zulfi says, “I was wondering how to take my clothes business further, when we hit upon this idea. The boutique at Ghaziabad will only be the beginning of a clothesline chain which Raina and myself have dreamed of.”

Confirms Raina, "Zulfi is a very good friend and I'm looking forward to opening many more boutiques across North India. My hometown Ghaziabad has no such shops and I want to make my city more fashionable than what it is today. I dedicate my store to my birthplace. Our people all look good and have purchasing power too and I think since there are no fashion shops, they would want to visit my boutique all the more. And I don't play cricket for all 12 months. So when I'm not playing, I can spend my time looking after my business and develop it."

What’s more! If this new venture succeeds, then the enterprising duo also plans to start a café business in Ghaziabad. Here’s wishing them the best.

 The star cast of the movie, which appeals to the young generation, includes Kunal Khemu, Boman Irani, Soha Ali Khan, Cyrus Broacha, Simone Singh, Mahesh Manjrekar, Amit Mistry and Vinod Khanna.

 The script is the strong point of the film. Each and every character has a specific role in the movie.

 Now, the film's opened for public in all the major multiplexes plus in the single screens of the country.

 The story of film revolves around two robbers, Kunal Khemu and Cyrus Broacha, who operates illegal business of SIM cards.

Director Ravi K.Patwa made fun with history because actor Vikram Kumar refused to give date, he shown rebirth of Alexander

Ongoing tussle between phas come as a boon for small films. Makers of small films have got opportunity to release their films without any competition from big films. Royal Utsav was released amidst this strike and benefitted the most and doing well on box office. It seems to be a historical film but rebirth of Alexander is more than liberty. You cannot play with the facts. As sources reveal that recarnation of Alex was a afterthought decision. It all happened when Vikram Kumar, who is playing Alexander had a face off with the director about the characterization of Alexander. He didn’t agree with the director and refused to give dates. Director Ravi K.Patwa didn’t want buckle before illogical demand of the actor and changed the script altogether and came in another actor in as Alexander was made to take rebirth in India . How convincing the change of the storyline is will be decided by the audience but we can say when ego takes over the creativity, film suffer most?
Film ‘Royal Utsav’is should end the story of Alexander- the great, who was probably the first undisputed ruler of the world. But Alexander died an untimely death. Despite being the ruler of the world, his soul was unsatisfied and restless at the time of his death. Director : Ravi K. Patwa,Producer : Anju R Patwa,Cast : Vikram Kumar, Monalisa, Sudesh Berry, Master Abhishek Sharma, Tripta Chopra, Antra Vishwas & Charu Arora.

Killer looks and Diamond murders!

It is an interesting and engaging flick. A thriller with characters who shuffle between time zones in the mind of the protagonist seeking answers to the unknown. Unilux Films’ thriller Diamond Murders, directed by national award-winning director Ashoke Vishwanathan stars actors Rajit Kapur, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Simone Singh, Victor Banerjee, Raj Zutshi and others, saw an interesting shoot at BB Bungalow at Mudh Island.

Other than the quest for the mysterious coveted diamonds shots with Rajit Kapur, Priyanshu Chatterjee and Toby the four-legged detective assistant, an interesting underwater jewel sequence was also shot at the venue with Priyanshu Chatterjee and Simone Singh.  While Rajit Kapur seemed to be changing from one guise to another, Priyanshu Chatterjee was haute and happening looking straight out of Tum Bin, while Kolkatta’s singing sensation June Bannerjee crooned for her video that starred Simone Singh.

Cinematographer Vivek Banerjee was at his trickiest best using camera techniques instead of the chroma to shoot double roles of Raj Zutshi, while director Ashoke Vishwanathan was seen talking about an interesting sequence where Sherlock Holmes comes to life in the Bollywood flick to meet Rajit Kapur. Now that is one interesting sequence, we are looking forward to checking out as well…

Mazhar Kamran's "MOHANDAS" chosen for International Competition at  Fribourg International Film Festival

 Indian-themed cinema seems to be flavour of the times. The official list of 14 films selected for International Competition section of the Fribourg International Film Festival (FIFF) have been announced.

From India, "MOHANDAS" a film directed by Mazhar Kamran, has been chosen by the selection board of FIFF.

“I am happy that an Indian film has been chosen in Competition. Especially a Hindi film. Hindi cinema has been largely ignored internationally, though Bengali and Malyalam films have been celebrated in the past. For various reasons there are barriers for Indian films-- and 'Mohandas' also has songs! So I find it encouraging that European film enthusiasts are opening up to our kind of story-telling and taking a serious interest in our  film-making.”  Comments this soft spoken director who has been invited to Switzerland to attend the film festival.

This reputed European film festival, now in its 23rd year, is dedicated to promoting quality films from all over the world and this year's focus is on discoveries and trends. It is widely known for its critical selection. This year it is headed by the noted film critic from Paris,  Edouard Waintrop, and it will run from  14th to 21 March 2009.

Mazhar Kamran's film MOHANDAS is his debut film as director. The film has received outstanding ovations already at several film festivals so far -- from New Delhi to New York. With this selection, the film has gone notches higher in the International Arena and is poised to establish its worldwide acclaim.

Following this, there  is another big event for the film coming up soon.

MOHANDAS has also been officially selected for the 52nd edition of the prestigious San Francisco International Film Festival to be held in April-May 2009. This is the longest running film festival in America and one of the only three in the US that features a FIPRESCI jury. 

Produced under the banner of Vertika Films and directed by Mazhar Kamran, 'Mohandas' is about a young and bright student who obtains a degree and lands a coveted job in a corporation. Unfortunately, when he arrives at his new office to begin work, he learns that a man has already taken his place. Based on this simple yet frightening premise,  Mazhar Kamran has directed a stunning contemporary political thriller that is steadily gaining worldwide acclaim.

Director Mazhar Kamran started out as a cinematographer and has been known for the cinematography of many remarkable and successful films of recent times, such as Satya, Kaun, Jhankaar Beats and Masti. In the cast of Mohandas are Sonali Kulkarni, Nakul Vaid, Sushant Singh, Sharbani Mukherjee, Aditya Srivastava, Govind Namdeo and Akhilendra Mishra. MOHANDAS will release in theatres in India in April 2009.

Linda to spice up the screen with a Bikni scene in Aloo Chaat!

Linda Arsenio has done a bikni scene in film  "Aloo Chaat" in Anuj Saxena Maverick Productions produced  in association with Robby Grewal's Red Ice Films. She was not informed about the bikni scene so she was very upset when she was told to wear one. She put her foot down and chose to wear a sarong over it as the scene was to be picturized on Delhi roof where she is sun bathing and all neighbors come to their roof to see a gori firang having a sun bath. She may be an American but she is very traditional in her thought process.Linda  is an American who was born and raised in Dallas, Texas.  She is of Salvadorean and Yugoslavian decent.
 She knew at a very young age she wanted to be in films as she discovered the beauty, passion and power of films that moved her within and became determined to do the same for others She played lead heroine role of American photo journalist in Yash Raj "Kabul Express" that was shot entirely in Afghanistan.  After having the lovely opportunity to be a part of this production she shortly thereafter shifted her base to Mumbai and currently resides in Versova.  She was spotted by the producers of Aloo Chaat in Kabul express and called for a meeting and she landed the role in Aloo Chaat. She says, "It's true I was not aware of bikni scene in Aloo Chaat. I suggested that I wear a Sarong over it and the director Robby Grewal understood my view point and my suggestion was accepted". Hope her bikni scene spices up the screen.

Producer Ravi Kishan’s Bihari Mafia

Ravi Kishan who introduced Bhojpuri Cinema universally has started producing films and aims to make films with positive messages for the society. 

His home production company Mahadeva Production has produced Bihari Mafia in collaboration with a corporate film production company Baba Films. This film is going to be release on 11th March at Bihar and 20th March at Mumbai.

Ravi Kishan says that Bihari Mafia has commercial cinema masaala as well as  potraying the present day social reality. In focus are the Mafia of Bihar and U.P. and he has tried to present the way some vested inerests exploit the weaknesses of some misguided youth introducing them to crime world. These same victims then turn into Mafia on their own and start exploiting others.

Abhay Sinha, of Yashi Films, says that Ravi Kishan has utilised his career long experience in making this film. The main strength of Bihari Mafia is its cast, all of them are associated with stage for long. The technical side of Bihari Mafia directed by Babloo Soni is very strong too.

Main actors of the film include Ravi Kishan, Namrata Thaapa, Brijesh Tripathi, Awadhesh Mishra, Shri Vallabh Vyas, Vandini Mishra, Sikandar Khan and item girl Sambhawna Seth. Namrata Thaapa is super star of Oriya Films.

In its history of 50 years Bhojpuri Cinema industry has given dozens of memorable films, but unfortunately only one film, Kab Hoi Gawna Hamaar, was able to win National Award. Now Bihari Mafia is expected to end that dry spell of award less years.

Bablu Soni, director of Bihari Mafia, was associate director of Kab Hoi Gawna Hamaar. He is famous for bringing alive real life stories in films. His previous Bhojpuri film Banke Bihari, MLA too was a grand success. Bablu Soni says until Bhojpuri Cinema is able to compete with Hindi cinema on same or better footing, it wont earn the respect that is due to it. He also denies that underworld is glamorized in this film and sone particular Mafia is favored by this film. On the contrary potrayal of Mafia life will force the misguided youth to revert to civilized society.

Film critics are of the opinion that Ravi Kishan has given his best in the film. Ravi Kishan too hopes after reviewing the final product that Bihari Mafia is worthy of a National Award.
