Deepika's uncanny resemblance with Kalpana in KHJJS

Deepika's uncanny resemblance with Kalpana in KHJJS.

It is a known fact that 'Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Se' is a true story. A film about a revolution that too place pre-independence of India, the film stars Deepika Padukone as Kalpana Datta, one of the two female revolutionaries (along with dozens of others boys and men) which were led by Surjya Sen (enacted by Abhishek Bachchan).

Since the female protagonist is a Bengali here, one would have thought that Ashutosh Gowariker would have opted for someone with Bengali roots for the film. However, he chose Deepika who basically comes from South of India. Why was that so?

"I had seen the photograph of real life Kalpana Dutta, whose character was required to be depicted on screen," informs Ashu, "The moment I saw the photograph, I could visualise Deepika bearing an uncanny resemblance to Kalpana. I knew that I had got the perfect face."

What further added to Ashu's decision was the solid impression that Deepika had made on him post 'Om Shanti Om'.

"I was stunned with her work in 'Om Shanti Om'. She was so fabulous there and never gave an impression of being a newcomer," he remembers, "I decided that I would work with her if there was ever an opportunity. She has done around half a dozen films now and has further improved her craft. She has corrected her mistakes and taken many positive step ahead."

Well, if her career best performance in 'Break Ke Baad' is anything to go by, if Deepika has indeed moved further ahead in KHJJS, then it would be one worthy watch for sure.

Ranbir – B-town’s Mr. Bean?!

Well girlies don’t be stumped, but indeed the handsome kapoor bachcha is gonna try donning the popular silly-smart character.

Our birdies found out that in Anurag Basu's forthcoming movie 'Barfee' Ranbir’s character will be on the lines of Mr. Bean.

And now, for this role our hot dude has to change his entire body structure, from slim-trim physique into a plump one. So from coming January Ranbir is said to change his dietary habits to put on more weight….

Sanjay, Karishma marriage on the rocks again

Sanjay, Karishma marriage on the rocks again.

Buzz about the Sanjay Kapur and Karisma Kapoor wedding ending grows stronger as Sunjay is spotted in company of divorced Delhi socialite-model.

After raised eyebrows about Karisma's continuous stay in Mumbai away from her hubby, one now hears hushed whispers about her hubby's close proximity to the ex-wife of a New York-based wealthy hotelier.

Sanjay has been spotted at the capital's high-profile bashes in her company. Any onlooker would realise that they are more than Just Friends.

Says a source, "They seem to have been throwing caution to the wind, of late."

Adds the source, "The two seemed to have found solace in each other as both have had their share of troubled marriages."

The socialite-model who is into luxury fashion retail has a daughter from her marriage to the NRI, who made news after a rehab stint to quit drugs at a Byculla hospital last November.

She had a high-profile wedding that was described as India's most extravagant shaadi and was later made into a TV documentary.

Only time will tell if this relationship is a casual fling or something serious.

Those in the know state that Karisma Kapoor had married Sanjay Kapur on the rebound immediately after her breakup with Abhishek Bachchan to whom she was engaged.

Sunjay was earlier married to fashion designer Nandita Mahtani whom he divorced just days before his marriage to Karisma. Nandita is now seeing Dino Morea.

According to the buzz, the Sanjay-Nandita marriage broke up due to certain reasons which now continue to plague Karisma.

Karisma was not keen to relocate to Delhi after her marriage. Sanjay cannot understand why.

Buzz is that Lolo is keen to return to B-Town something Sanjay is not too excited about.

Karisma Kapoor and Sanjay Kapur have had a rocky relationship ever since their marriage in 2003. Buzz about strains in the marriage have kept erupting periodically over time.

Even after Samaira was born in March 2005, there was speculation that all was not well on the marital front.

Something went right with the couple because Lolo was pregnant again and delivered a boy Kiaan Raj in March this year. But yet again there is discord and marital woes.

Mumbai: Police complaint lodged against Shekhar Suman.

Mumbai:  An FIR was lodged against television actor Shekhar Suman, stand up comic actor Bharti Singh and a television channel at the Pydhonie police station for making a dig on Islamic Kalma on a television show.

The complaint has been lodged by Muslims who were hurt at the joke.

In one of her acts, Bharti allegedly cracked a joke on the Islamic Kalma with Suman repeating the same. This led to protests.

Raza Academy's General Secretary Saeed Noori along with Maulana Sayyed Moin Ashraf and Sohel Lokhandwala, a former MLA, visited home minister R R Patil to voice their protest on the issue.

"The episode was aired on November 20. Both Shekhar Suman and Bharti Singh are to blame, and since the channel had aired the show, we have filed an FIR against them too," said Noori.

Noori said the home minister was shown the episode during the meeting. "We have registered a case against Shekhar Suman, Sony TV and Bharti Singh under section 295 of the IPC for hurting religious sentiments," said Senior Police Inspector Shamsherkhan Pathan of Pydhonie police station.

But Shekhar Suman, in his defence, said, "It was Bharti who unknowingly made some disparaging remarks. How are the judges responsible for it?"

David Dhawan’s Son To Debut In Karan Johar Film.

This is perhaps the biggest launchpad that a newcomer in the Bollywood film industry has ever got. If reports are to be believed, Varun Dhawan, director David Dhawan’s son and Sidharth Malhotra will make their debut in Hindi cinema in a Karan Johar production. And what is more, Karan Johar’s best friend Shah Rukh Khan will also be associated with the upcoming venture. According to reports doing the rounds in the media, the film will be produced by Karan Johar’s production house Dharma Productions in association with SRK’s production house Red Chillies Entertainment.

Both Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra served as assistants to Karan Johar during the filming of My Name Is Khan. The new film starring Varun and Sidharth will reportedly have female leads as well. A source very close to the film’s unit has told the media that Karan Johar may be roped in as the director of the launch venture. Though it was reported earlier that KJo will only produce the film, he is also planning to direct it now. However this piece of news has not been confirmed by the director or his representatives.

The Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra debut platform will also be the first film where buddies Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar will come together as producers. Though the actor – director duo have been part of several films together in the past, this is the first time that they will produce a film together.

Winona Ryder Is Sorry For Abusing Natalie Portman.

American actress Winona Ryder is very sorry for the verbal abuses that she was forced to hurl at fellow actress Natalie Portman. Well, not literally, Winona Ryder had to enact her role of a disturbed ballet Dancer in the upcoming Hollywood venture ‘Black Swan’, in which she is shown ill-treating her rival and likely replacement Natalie Portman.

In a statement to the media, Winona Ryder says that she is not used to using such abusive language in real life and probably that was the reason why she became all the more affected while filming such violent scenes in front of the camera. The Darren Aronofsky film sees Winona Ryder in the role of the prima ballerina of a ballet group and her character is required to continuously insult Natalie Portman’s character, which in turn helps her to better her act as a balletdancer and also brings in good results for their ballet group.

According to reports in the media, Winona Ryder was so disturbed by her ill behavior towards Natalie Portman, albeit in front of the camera, that she actually apologized to her in writing and also sent the actress a present to make up on all the harsh words that she had to listen from a senior actress. Though we have not been able to getNatalie Portman’s reactions after the incident, we are sure that she must be really happy!
Darren Aronofsky’s thriller ‘Black Swan’ centers on the relationship of a prima ballerina and her younger competitor. The film also stars Mila Kunis alongside Winona Ryder andNatalie Portman.

Rakht Charitra 2 A Story Of Terrifying Vengeance - Release Date Dec 3, 2010

Rakht Charitra 2 A Story Of Terrifying Vengeance - Release Date Dec 3, 2010.

Calcutta, Nov 27, 2010 (Washington Bangla Radio) The 2nd part of Ram Gopal Verma's RAKHT CHARITRA (2010) film will release on December 3, 2010 in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil languages.

With a star cast of Vivek Oberoi, Suriya, Shatrughan Sinha, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Abhimanyu Singh, Aejaz Khan, Sushant Singh, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Radhika Apte, Priyamani, Zarina Wahab, Ashish Vidyarthi & others, Rakht Charitra is a two-part trilingual language film by Ram Gopal Varma, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, inspired by the life of the slain political leader Paritala Ravindra, played by Vivek Oberoi, with Surya enacting the role of Maddelacheruvu Suri, Shatrughan Sinha playing N. T. Rama Rao set in the backdrop of the political bloodshed that raged the Anantpur District in Andhra Pradesh, India for over 40 years.

Acclaimed film-critic Nilanjann Nandi wrote in his review of the first part, "When Ram Gopal Verma met the press a week before Rakht Charitra Part 1's official release on the 22nd Oct 2010, amongst many things that he said about this movie, he said that, "THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR THOSE WHO LIKE KARAN JOHAR'S FILMS" - by this, what he meant was: "Rakht Charitra" is a movie from an absolutely different genre of film machine, the RGV factory which churns out movies which is made for am absolute different pack of film-goers, who enjoys movies like: Company, D Company, Shiva, Satya, A Wednesday, Black Friday, Dayavan and Hollywood flicks like The Godfather, The Untouchables, Mississippi Burning, The Quick and the Dead and even old English movies like The Sicilian Clan and Mafia.

These movies have one thing in 'common' and that is REVENGE.

As the saying goes: "Revenge is a dish best served cold..." it is not always true...However, Revenge is the purest form of emotion which is definitely 'right'; whether served cold or hot! Revenge is a form of emotion which not always happens in the spur of a moment, and is often justified, at least from the victim's point of view."

Bruce Lee biopic tracks action hero”s early life

Bruce Lee biopic tracks action hero”s early life.

HONG KONG: Authenticity is the heart and soul of the new biopic “Bruce Lee, My Brother,” the early life story of the man who put Hong Kong action films on the map, its director told The Hollywood Reporter.

As its title declares, the film pieces together the superstar”s childhood — Lee would have turned 70 on Sunday — and young adulthood from the memories of his four surviving siblings, Phoebe, Agnes, Peter (who died in 2008) and Robert.

“The Lee family supplied us with all the details and the tidbits of their family life,” director Raymond Yip said. “So we took great care to be loyal to the truth and avoid anything that felt fake, which made it rather difficult for us in terms of creating the structure of the script. But the Lee family was very pleased with the result, especially with how close it was to what actually happened.”

The biopic took years to put on the screen, not least because of the difficult task of finding a young actor to play the role of the iconic megastar. “We”ve been on the lookout for a possible candidate all over China since 2008, but no one could capture the Hong Kong spirit of the young Bruce Lee,” Yip explained.

But when writer-director team of Alex Law and Mabel Cheung, invited the film”s producer, Manfred Wong, to a screening of their opus “Echoes of the Rainbow,” the search was over. Aarif Rahman, a 23-year-old singer-songwriter who made his acting debut (and stole the show) in “Echoes,” was locked in as the young Bruce Lee.

“Including Lee”s brother Robert, we were quite amazed by how much Aarif resembles Bruce. No one can say for sure whether an actor really embodies Bruce”s spirit except for his family. So it was a go from then on,” Yip recalled.

The film began pre-production in March to push for a November 25 release in Hong Kong. The HK$36 million ($4.6 million) project has been snapped up by distributors in over 10 territories.

The Hong Kong-born Rahman, of Malay-Arab-Chinese ancestry, will have to shoulder any potential sequels for the Bruce Lee life story, said Yip.

“We certainly hope to continue telling Bruce Lee”s story, but it depends on how this one is received, especially on the public reception of Aarif as Bruce Lee. Lee was a legendary figure. Who plays him in the film is the biggest issue for us as filmmakers. But I have faith in Aarif,” Yip said.

Although the biopic tracks the early life of the kungfu master from his birth in San Francisco, old Hong Kong plays a key role. The film shows Lee and his friends as fixtures in the mid-century Hong Kong film industry, allowing the filmmakers to reenact scenes from famous movies of the age.

“Bruce Lee grew up on soundstages. But the films-within-a-film were also a way for us to recapture the collective memories of the Hong Kong people,” Yip said.

Baby boy for John Travolta after son's tragic death.

LOS ANGELES: Actor John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston announced the birth of their third child, a baby boy born nearly two years after the death of their 16-year-old son Jett.

The baby, named Benjamin, was born at a hospital in Florida on Tuesday evening weighing more than 8 lbs (3.6 kg), according to a statement from Travolta's publicist.

"John, Kelly and their daughter Ella Bleu are ecstatic and very happy about the newest member of the family. Both mother and baby are healthy and doing beautifully," the statement said.

Jett, the first child of Travolta, 56, and Preston, 48, died of a seizure in January 2009 while the family was on vacation in the Bahamas. Travolta confirmed after the death that Jett was autistic.

The "Pulp Fiction" and "Grease" star and his actress wife spent a year out of the public spotlight grieving for Jett. The family was also the victim of an alleged $25 million extortion plot over the death that ended in a mistrial for those accused.

Travolta was back on the red carpet in January to promote his comedy adventure movie "From Paris with Love" and Preston appeared in the Miley Cyrus movie "The Last Song" in April.

Joe Jonas escapes arrested at airport

Washington, (ANI):Ashly Greene has revealed that she and her beau Joe Jonas were nearly arrested because the Camp Rock 2 star had mistakenly placed some knives in his carry-on luggage while they were to fly out of Abu Dhabi over the weekend.

"We were going from the Middle East to New York, so [there was] tons of security, tons of screenings. We got through one, surprisingly enough," Usmagazine.com quoted her as telling on Lopez Tonight Tuesday. By the time they reached the second checkpoint, the Twilight actress says airport security 'looked at us with these stern faces like, what's in your bag?'

Remembering that Jonas, an avid cook, had purchased a cheese-cutting knife set during their trip, Greene asked her beau of four months if he'd accidentally put them in the wrong bag. Jonas' response, 'Whoopsies!' "Whoopsies doesn't cut it. We were going to get arrested!" Greene said.

After explaining the mix-up, security allowed Jonas to stow his knife set under the plane. "It was embarrassing," Greene added.

Dolly Bindra to return to ‘Bigg Boss’

Dolly Bindra to return to ‘Bigg Boss’

Mumbai: The most appalling TV personality, Dolly Bindra, might soon be back on the Idiot Box.

The loud-mouth former ‘Bigg Boss’ inmate, who was kicked out of the house after her ugly row with Sameer Soni, is reportedly returning to the mad house. And it’s all due to viewers’ demand, or so the channel states. Like it or not but Bindra will be back to giving hell in ‘Bigg Boss’ come Saturday.

The move is quite a desperate one considering the house has gone a lot quieter after Bindra’s exist. And with the show becoming boring, the TRP is hitting an all time low.

However, even though the TRP’s will get a boost by Dolly’s entry in the show, the inmates won’t be too happy with this wild card entry.

Confirming the news, a source said, “Dolly Bindra was the lifeline of the show. Ever since she came on the show as the wild card entry, she made life miserable for the contestants, especially Shweta Tiwari. The channel enjoyed an all-time high with her on the show. Despite Pamela Anderson`s presence or Sameer Soni`s return to the show, there has not been much excitement on the show.”

Reports also suggest that the channel has also been getting a lot of feedback from viewers, urging them to bring Dolly back on the show. However, when dolly was questioned about her return to Bigg Boss, she said, “I can`t comment and I am not aware of anything. Whatever questions you have should be directed to the production house Endemol. All I can say is that I am a person who speaks the truth and will call a spade a spade. If given an opportunity to go back, I will be the same.”

Break Ke Baad Review- fails to connect.

Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Karan Johar's Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai continue to inspire and motivate film-makers to this date. Danish Aslam's debut film Break Ke Baad borrows from the above-mentioned films, besides Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal and several other Film churned out by Yash Raj and Dharma.

I don't think it's sacrilege to seek inspiration from a great film, a taut script or soulful music, but the storyteller ought to take that extra effort to present something more than what we've watched before, in his/her film. That's where Break Ke Baad fails to connect.

Break Ke Baad deals with space issues in a relationship, a much exploited and abused word used a lot in the present-day scenario. Space is almost like a break-up mantra and Break Ke Baad explores this concept rather than being a conventional love story. It has that typical Hollywood inspired urban drollness, approach and responsiveness, but what comes across on screen is a poor replication of romance-laden movies that we have enjoyed over the years.

Break Ke Baad goes wrong, sorry horribly wrong in its writing. The screenplay is full of glitches, the writing is juvenile, the situations are amateurish and I actually wondered how a shoddy screenplay like the one in Break Ke Baad was green-lit and approved in the first place. The intention was to make a cool film for the urban youth, but the writers [screenplay: Renuka Kunzru and Danish Aslam] have messed up and how!

Final word? A boring fare that gets unbearable after a point!

Abhay [Imran Khan] and Aaliya [Deepika Padukone] have known each other since they were kids. Their friendship turned into love at the tender age of 15, when Abhay realized that Aaliya is the girl for him.

Aaliya's life is defined by her burning desire to become an actress and she is unmindful of what or who comes in her way. Abhay, who is still unsure about what he wants to do, finds himself competing with Aaliya's incessant plans and projects to fulfill her dreams. Things come to a head when Aaliya decides to go to Australia to study and Abhay has to deal with the prospect of a long-term relationship, secretly fearing that he will lose Aaliya forever.

They decide to give their relationship a break, so that Aaliya can pursue her dreams. As time passes by, Abhay realises his skills, while Aaliya realises that there is no joy in achieving one's dreams if one has no one to share it with.

The basic idea of Break Ke Baad may compel you to think that it's going to charter a new path completely, but what comes across is a sham. I mean, the lovers break up for a flimsy reason [there's no persuasive rationale actually], then become friends, then go separate ways, then become friends again, then argue animatedly and then get married. Besides, the film is talk-heavy, extremely verbose and the chatter is pointless, senseless and ludicrous.

One fails to understand why the girl drops the guy like a hot brick. Actually, there's no valid reason for her to do so. He is so committed, so devoted, so trustworthy that any girl would give her left arm to be with him. But the girl comes across as a no-brainer and expectedly, realizes her folly only towards the finale [as expected in a screenplay of convenience]. Besides a faulty Screenplay, even the supporting characters [Sharmila Tagore, Shahana Goswami] are wasted.

Director Danish Aslam has handled a few moments well, that's it. A love story ought to be embellished with a lilting musical score, but Vishal-Shekhar disappoint this time. The songs are strictly okay and one misses that winning track that makes a love story memorable. Cinematography [Andre Menezes] is alright.

Both Imran and Deepika take a step forward as actors. Having watched Imran closely from Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Na days, I feel that he has come a long way in his fifth outing and you can see a marked difference in his performance.
