Jannat revives cricket in Bollywood
2008-05-30 07:37:00
Barring a select few like Lagaan and Chak De! India, movies based on the sports theme have hardly clicked at the box-office. But the Emraan Hashmi starrer Jannat, about match fixing in cricket, has proved the world wrong. Released with 317 prints on 700 screens across the country, the film produced by Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt has completed two weeks and in Mumbai alone it has garnered more than Rs 20.5 million. The film's all India collection is about Rs 200 million and the movie has already made profits, considering that it was made on a modest budget of Rs 100 million. Approaching the third week of its run in 47 cinemas in Mumbai, it continues to draw house-full crowds. Ashok Ahuja, director of Percept Picture Company which is the distributor of the film, gave credit to the marketing strategy for its success. "The out of the box marketing strategy has played an important role in the success of the film. Though it had only one star, we changed the perception of the film thro...

Bollywood speaks on

The action on the field, the edge-of-the-seat, last-ball finishes bring out the boys in men watching the sport. While the sweat and dressing room gossip make women go weak in the knees.

When Bollywood meets Hollywood
2008-05-24 08:06:00
This looks like a plot straight out of a movie: a multibillionaire, in his penchant to strike big in whatever he does, goes out to strike a billion dollars worth of deals with industry players who are world famous. And that too at the cheapest of prices when most in the industry are struggling for funds in a global economic slowdown. The twist is, it happened for real early this week when Reliance Big Entertainment, the integrated media and entertainment arm of the US$75 billion-revenue Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group owned by the sixth richest man in the world with a net worth of $40 billion said that it had entered into a slew of development deals with eight Hollywood -based production houses to make “at least” 10 films in the next two years at a cost of $1 billion.

Boyfriend arrested for slapping Sonal
2008-05-24 07:57:00
Sonal Chauhan, who debuted in recently released 'Jannat', was allegedly slapped by her boyfriend Sahil Zaroo at the city airport. According to onlookers, Sahil and Sonal met at the Santa Cruz domestic airport. While Sonal was collecting her boarding pass for a Hyderabad flight, Sahil got into an argument with her and slapped her. Sonal's father was present there when the incident occurred. The CISF personnel handed Sahil over to Santa Cruz airport police. "Sahil snatched her mobile and tried to embrace her while she resisted. So we slapped theft and molestation charges against him," said senior police inspector S M Ghuge. Surprisingly, Chauhan registered a complaint in the name of Sonal Raghuraj Singh, 21. In her complaint, she said that she was a student. The Andheri magistrate court on Wednesday remanded Sahil Zaroo, who was arrested by Delhi Police two years ago for allegedly supplying cocaine to Rahul Mahajan, to two days police custody for slapping Sonal on Tues...

People think I'm moody and cynical

Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who is to anchor Sony TV's new reality game show 'Dus Ka Dum', has turned a blogger and writes in his first entry that he takes all his decisions on instincts rather than calculations. 'All my decisions are based on my instincts and some people think that I am too moody and cynical,' Salman writes in his blog. 'Believe me, I have been guided by my instincts and my heart all my life! I do not depend too much on intelligence, analysis and calculations.' Salman, who has often been in the news for wrong reasons, says that earlier he had his own reservations about anchoring a show. 'I still remember the day when my brother Sohail Khan brought the proposal to anchor a show for Sony Entertainment Television. I had my reservations. The idea sounded so impractical that I rejected it even without giving it much thought,' he wrote. But then what attracted him to 'Dus Ka Dum'?

After the release of her first Bollywood film Jannat, Sonal Chauhan has become the new blue-eyed girl of the Bhatt camp. TWF correspondent Sreya Basu catches up with this new heartthrob of Bollywood during her breezy visit to Kolkata for the promotion of her film. How did you make it to the Bhatt camp? Till the shooting for Jannat started I did not have the remotest idea that I will take up acting. I was into part time modelling and wanted to become a journalist. But never thought I will land up being a heroine in a Hindi flick. Kunal Deshmukh-director of Jannat-saw me at a restaurant in Mumbai. He came to me and asked for my contact number. In a week I was on the floors shooting. Have you ever taken a formal acting course or felt the need of it? I don't have a formal training in acting.

Shahid-Vidya stories are False
2008-05-22 08:04:00
Shahid Kapoor is a thorough professional and will not let anything come between him and his work. Not even lousy stories that are circulated in print. The actor, however, wishes to clarify his stand on a story printed in a tabloid recently. It said that how Vidya (Balan) and Shahid had gone out for lunch and did not return for over three hours bringing the shooting of Ken Ghosh's new untitled film produced by UTV to a standstill. But a close friend of Shahid's clarified that, "while that Vidya his co star from Kismat Konnection and a very dear friend had dropped in to say hi after which they proceeded to catch a quick lunch during the lunch time which lasted for 45 mins. And that as a professional Shahid would never hold up work for hours on end just to have lunch with a friend, the story is untrue". Recently there was also another report that Shahid interferes in the shooting of the film and likes calling the shoots for the same. Ken Ghosh clarifies this baseless stor...

It’s sad yet true. Sanjay Gupta’s much waited and hyped flick, Acid Factory, will showcase Dia Mirza as ‘sex bomb’ replacing its previously finalized diva Bipasha Basu. With elapsing time and increasing expectation from audience Bipasha had already visualized the releasing day of the flick. The proud Dia, replacing the bong beau, exclaims, “In all my previous films I have portrayed common and very normal girls. I am quite happy and excited about my present offer of a sexy and hot character with which I can play a completely different role from my previous ones.” Being the only heroine to show her glitz amongst the six Bollywoody hunks, Dia is already flying high in the sky.

Offbeat film fever grips Kumar Mangat

Kumar Mangat, whose film Omkara catapulted him to the position of one of Bollywood's leading producers, says he prefers to fund subjects that would get national awards. "I don't produce films for just money. My aim is to fund films which will give me revenues as well as earn me respect," Mangat, who first produced the Ajay Devgan-Kajol starrer Dil Kya Kare in 1999, told IANS. "I'm eyeing scripts that would get national awards and also win accolades globally," he added. Mangat tasted success in the industry with Omkara, Bollywood's take on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy Othello, which fetched rave reviews and critical acclaim and caused film distributor Eros International's annual profit to jump. "I loved the script of Omkara. It was a very different script, which Bollywood had never worked on. I knew it would do well and as expected it worked wonders and since then I have decided to produce at least one different film in a year apart from fundin...

Bollywood muscles in on Hollywood
2008-05-22 07:51:00
With India's entertainment billionaires seemingly blessed with limitless pockets, Bollywood is flexing its movie muscle, taking on Hollywood in unexpected corners of the globe and buying up theatres worldwide. "Bollywood now has the muscle and (Indian) corporates have big money," prominent Indian filmmaker Jagmohan Mundra told AFP. Mundra said Bollywood companies began the bid to buy into Hollywood cinemas and distribution networks after Indian films failed to get a wide showing in the West. The slew of major entertainment deals announced this week at Cannes, the world's biggest film market, underlined Indian cinema expansionism. Reliance BIG Entertainment, for example, the entertainment branch of India's mighty Anil Dhirubhai Ambani (ADA) Group, unveiled plans to spend one billion US dollars by the end of 2009. ADA plans to use the cash to produce a slate of films in nine languages while ensuring the movies make it onto cinema screens outside India as well as on home v...

Bollywood's 'blog wars'

They are being described as the Bollywood blog wars. Some of India's top film stars have taken to blogging in a big way. But in a country where many fans accord their stars almost god-like status, not everyone is happy with what is being said. In recent posts, two of India's top stars have upset fans of the country's most popular actor, Shah Rukh Khan. Veteran superstar, Amitabh Bachchan, on his blog, first described Shah Rukh Khan's new television quiz show as a flop. Now he says his comments have been misunderstood by the media. "Shah Rukh has been and is a friend and a wonderful colleague. He has never ever crossed that very delicate line between familiarity and respect," he wrote in a recent post. "I will apologise to Shah Rukh a hundred times if there is an iota of doubt in his mind about my conduct and behaviour towards him," he said.

Changing partners is very oldy vogue in Bollywood and when it comes to super-spoilt-stars like Salman , the trend hits its most effective zone. Thus when the news of Salman adding spice to his life with the Brazilian model Bruna broke out, Katrina felt alarmed. But Katrina must have taken a sigh of relief after Brazilian model Bruna dismissed the rumours about her relationship with Salman Khan. The model turned VJ has stated that there’s nothing cooking up between her and Bollywood’s spoiled brat Sallu Mia. The gimmicky date between Salman and Bruna fueled up more after the news of Salman again slapping Katrina on the sets of Subash Ghai’s Yuvraj hit the media. But Bruna had quoted that Salman is totally devoted towards Katrina, who had been with Salman whenever she met him. Meanwhile, Bruna also added that she is involved in a relationship with a restaurateur named Sunny who owns two resto-lounges in Mumbai.

Bollywood living in 3-day weekend era

It is official now. Bollywood now lives in the era of three-day weekends. Only a few films collect anything to talk about beyond the initial three-day period. The million rupee question is, “Picture ki opening kitni lagi?” And when Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) Tashan failed even to garner a decent opening both on domestic as well as foreign shores, people inside and outside YRF were a worried lot. Budgeted at Rs 40 crore, the movie opened with an initial of 52% in the first week, with collections dropping to 35% in the second week. The failure to reach an agreement with the multiplexes only added to the woes. It is a failure, even Director and CEO, Yash Raj Films, Sanjeev Kohli accepts. “Tashan has been a disappointment commercially, as much was expected from it. But we believe, the audience is the best judge and we accept their verdict,”

Big stars and the small screen
2008-05-20 07:39:00
In the mid-80s Shah Rukh Khan started on the small screen before graduating to Bollywood to become a big star. Now with the advent of satellite television, top stars are cashing in, making a lot more here than in movies and for much less effort. BELIEVE it or not, India’s number one star, Shah Rukh Khan, makes more money from television than from films. He reportedly earned Rs 75 crores (RM57mil) last year from endorsements of various products and services in television ads. This was more than what he made in fees as a Bollywood hero. From endorsing cellular phones to cellular phone service providers, King Khan can be seen marketing cars and cola drinks. And in between those ads, he appears on the small screen anchoring a much-hyped show for which he is paid a humungous amount. The actor who began his career on the small screen back in the mid-80s and successfully graduated to Bollywood to become a household name is now seen more in television commercials than on the big screen.

And updating themselves to the modern times are Bollywood stars who, after staying away from the most popular Internet fad, have finally given in to the idea of blogging. Not just blogging, they are mixing it with some slogging as well.

If the onlookers of Zee Cine Awards are to be believed, both Saif and Kareena were all over each other in London. So much so, that there was no dearth of PDA. They could barely keep their hands off each other. They even went as far as requesting the organizers to book them a hotel which was far away from the hotel where the rest of the guests were putting up.

Panchvi fail and other Bollywood blog tales

It's no longer about cold wars. The starry world of Bollywood is busy with caustic combats instead. So Aamir Khan writes a cheeky blog entry describing his smelly dog named Shahrukh while Amitabh Bachchan rates Shah Rukh Khan's new reality show as "Panchvi Fail". Bachchan goes on to compare Panchvi Pass's ratings with his own high-ranking KBC show. Salman Khan is brattish as usual, checking on Akshay Kumar's fee before naming his price. The gloves are off in Bollywood. While yesteryear stars Dilip Kumar and Raj Kapoor and other antagonists kept their mutual dislike private, today the bitching is out in the open. The change has perhaps to do with Bollywood's changing dynamics. Bachchan has reportedly been paid over Rs 100 crore for his blog, so dishing out controversy is part of the domain, quips an industry watcher. Aamir probably felt that Bachchan was stealing the limelight, so he posted a mischievous comment. Two months ago, Aamir had demoted SRK, calling him the ...

Dog fight: SRK answers Aamir

The battle of the blogs has just intensified, what with the Taare Zameen Par self-crowned genius and the universally acknowledged clutter-breaker Aamir Khan proclaiming that he has named a dog Shah Rukh Khan. The shocking display of insolent humour has sent shock waves in the otherwise-insulated and unconcerned film industry. Says a very popular character-actor who has worked with both the actors, "I guess the freedom provided by a blog tends to loosen tongues. Amitji has never been known to be as undiplomatic as he's on his blog. Aamir must have thought it's time to increase the odds, what if Amitji's blog gets more eyeballs! Also, his nephew's film is around the corner. During the release of Taare Zameen Par Aamir created a controversy by taking on Amitji and Black. Now for the nephew it's Shah Rukh being called a dog. All I can say is, life's a bitch." Shah Rukh remains characteristically unfazed and humorous in the face of his colleague's uncharitable and tast...
