MP High Court gives clean chit to Jodhaa Akbar.
MP High Court gives clean chit to Jodhaa Akbar.
The fans of Hrithik and Aishwariya in Madhya Pradesh can heave a sigh of relief, as Jodha Akbar has been cleared off the ban. The High Court gave the verdict in the favor of UTV Motion Pictures.
Siddhart Roy Kapur, director of UTV Motion Pictures said,”The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled in favour of UTV and we are commencing the screening of Jodhaa Akbar immediately across the state. This is a huge boost to all advocates of creative freedom in our country, and we are very grateful to the court for recognizing the validity of our stand and allowing Jodhaa Akbar to resume screenings.”
Director Aushotosh Gowariker was also relieved and happy with the court verdict. He exclaimed, “The film portrays love between two cultures and religions through a marriage of alliance between a Mughal emperor and a Rajput princess. This is an alliance that took place 450 years ago; an alliance that we need to respect, admire and learn from even today. He also adds that a disclaimer had been inserted at the start of the film saying that the film is a work of fiction and it draws from history but at the same time it is not the exact representation of it and there can be other viewpoints.”
MP walo now you can hit the theatres with vengeance as you can’t afford to miss the sizzling chemistry between Hrithik and Aishwariya.
First Peak into SRK’s Om Shanti Om
Yet another Shahrukh Khan starer and a mega production is coming to light this November – it is none other than Farah Khan’s second film “Om Shanti Om”. Revisit the 70s of Bollywood with film!
Here is the synopsis of the film’s promos as circulating on net:
Noor-e-haq sham-ae-ilahi ko mita sakta hai kaun Jiska haami hai khuda usko mita sakta hai kaun
Alright, so the hardcore Urdu couplet that kick starts the promo of Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om rewinds you back to the sixties social, a la Yash Chopra’s Waqt where the poetic meaning forewarned us, as to what is going to follow. Well, it goes without saying that the premise of this hugely mounted entertainer has movies as its backdrop. Shah Rukh is a junior artiste with star-gaze as his only respite; while ravishing Deepika Padukone is the proverbial amply-endowed star of the sixties-seventies, with a smile that kisses her dimples like the dewdrops sliding on a nubile flower petal.
The dream girl is off to a premiere of her big ticket flick while love-struck SRK (in a check coat) is driven away by guards forcefully. Montages of transition follow. A convertible biggie car stops with a screech. ‘STAR’ shines on its number plate. SRK has a Filmfare award in his hand while Padukone draped in a Kanjeevram sleeveless sari dances away to glory on a big dhol (obviously it’s an ode to Sridevi of Himmatwala). Helen is not to be left behind, as totally transformed Deepika oozes out of a life like cage draped in the Monika ensemble. Phew!
SRK on his part showcases many of the characters that he has played in his career. There are traces of Raj-Rahul as he dances in a lavish party, sings the open-chested romantic duets, rides a macho bike, the blood smeared Baazigar who also dabbles in Devdas for a while. There’s a Shah Rukh Khan voiceover that takes this ninety second promo forward proclaiming adherence to escapist cinema. Yes, no bad endings for this one. “Picture abhi khatam nahin hui hai,” he says in an inebriated tone.
So what do you have to say about ‘Om Shanti Om’ first look??? Let’s hear it from you
Dhoom 2 makes it international, more food for Dhoom 3
Dhoom 2 is always in news and so there is more food for thought for Dhoom 3 which is on cards. We always knew that Dhoom 2 had international standards in terms of action and now we have been proved right. Action sequences in Dhoom 2 have been nominated for the prestigious Taurus Stunt Awards.
Fight Master Alllan Amin who directed the stunt scenes is all excited about the nomination. “I am very proud of the fact that we have won a nomination. It’s a first,” says Amin. Remember Hrithik and Ash’s scene where they jump from the cliff, with actors volunteering for the scene the directed had no qualms about shooting the scene. And it was mind blowing! The makers had also roped in Australian stunt master Vic Armstrong to execute some of the stunts. The Hollywood stunt coordinator is all praise for Hrithik Roshan: “Hrithik is one of the fittest actors I have seen recently and those efforts made the stuff on Dhoom 2 look exceptionally good”. Armstrong has directed Tom Cruise and Pierce Brosnan. Let us hope to win this international award! It sure is going to set new standards for Yash Raj Films and Dhoom 3.
Aishwarya- Hrithik Liplock chopped from Dhoom 2
Disappointment rings for all those who again want to see the most gorgeous lady being
kissed (literally as she doesn’t do much in the scene). The controversial Ash-Hrithik liplock has been chopped off from the movie Dhoom 2 on Bachchan family’s request. The liplock had raised eyebrows and sparked off controversies soon after the movie was released on November 24 last year. The Bachchan family’s reaction to the scene was very obvious that they didn’t want their would-be-bahu to have any questionable story in filmdom. To top all that Abhishek was not in talking terms with Hrithik after he saw the movie. But to request the producers to chop off the scene was very unmindful of them. Sounds as if none of Bachchans: Amitabh or Abhishek have done anything of the sort in movies!
Dhoom 3 in muddy waters
There is some bad news for Dhoom makers- Maharashtra’s
State Transport Commissioner, Shyamsunder D Shinde, feels that the movies fast scenes and rash driving will have a bad influence on the youth has asked the Censor Board of India to delete them from the film. If he will have his way then making of Dhoom-3 might face hurdles. Would Chopra reconsider the script then? But what’s Dhoom without any stunt and speed?
Aditya change plans for Dhoom 3
Aditya has been constantly changing decisions on the cast and the crew of his upcoming trilogy (if it can be called so) Dhoom 3. But one thing was fixed that after Sanjay Gadhvi deciding to part ways with Yash Raj Films, Aditya himself will be directing the movie but now even that remains under thought. Aditya is now thinking of giving the project to
Scriptwriter Vikram Krishna Acharya. Dhoom 3 will be Vikram’s directorial debut.
Acharya wrote the screenplay and dialogue of both Dhoom versions and the dialogue for Pyaar Ke Side Effects and Guru, and is writing the script for Dhoom 3 as well. Chopra plans to start filming towards the second half of the year, around the time that Gadhvi starts filming his first movie outside Yashraj, for Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision. That’s not all… And he has planned a casting coup with Shah Rukh Khan (in a negative role) and Aamir Khan hot on his heels as the policeman. What’s more, Hrithik Roshan will also be a part of the project, insists the source, although he may not have a fullfledged role. “Adi wants to make it a multi-starrer. It all depends on how the script shapes up but he’s definitely keen on pairing both the Khans together for the first time and also Hrithik Roshan,” says the source. Lagta hai ladai badi dhoom se hone wali hai!!!
Dhoom III on cards
Dhoom III is on cards but this time its not Sanjay who will
direct this movie but Aditya Chopra. Yes the ace director will be back on the hot seat after six years. His last film was Mohabbatein. And guess what who is in- The King Khan Shahrukh will play the negative role in Dhoom III- and that, I think will be a hit role as for SRK’s immense affinity for being a hero in a negative role. But I wonder what Saif is going to do in the movie- will he be a threat to Abhishek? But believe me it will be a tragedy to break Abhishek and Uday’s chemistry. Amir is no more on the cards and Ash as predicted will be there in the third film too.
An insight into the thoughts of the man who has a problem with the Ash-Hrithik smooch!
So everybody is talking about the famous anti-smooching case that’s been filed against Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan by some crazy advocate Shailendra Dwivedi… lets see who the man is and what does he have in his mind…
I read his interview at rediff.com and couldn’t help but get amused that a man like him is actually a successful advocate!!! Seriously guys… you wanna know what kinda explanation he has to give for his suing Ash-Hrithik and not Mallika Sherawat or any couple who have locked lips on-screen???
The half bald man says “I didn’t see any of Mallika Sherawat’s films, therefore I am not aware of these things. I happened to see Dhoom 2 and I found the scene objectionable. It is a film that one cannot see with one’s family, and therefore I filed a case.”
Well I don’t know whether you consider this a case of “Ignorance is bliss” or something else… but we, in clear cut English call it a PUBLICITY STUNT! Had you sued all the Mallika Sherawat films till now, you wouldn’t have gotten HALF as much of popularity as you’ve received with just ONE case… I guess its time the people of Indore opened their eyes and stopped wasting their precious Gandhigiri on this moron’s words…
Oki… go ahead… SUE me for this………
P.S. The court’s verdict comes out on Jan 4th so you know from where to get the info right???
Aishwarya and Hrithik targeted for obscene scenes
After the release of Dhoom-2, Ash and Hrithik have been in news more than Ash and Abhishek. Earlier for Bachchans’ denial of Ash’s bold moves in Dhoom-2 and now Shailendra Dwivedi, advocate, has filed Obscenity case before the judicial magistrate in Indore on behalf of RK Batham who said that the scenes in Dhoom-2 involving Ash and Hrithik are degrading to women and are vulgar. May be the person needs to see the movie again to spot Bipasha doing some skin show. 
The question is that why are only the bigies targeted for such deeds, are the song-album people and of course reality shows like Big Boss doing any less? And let the women folk think whether they really need to define liberation in terms of their favorite actor’s characters in the films. Come on people talk some sense and not such rubbish. How about giving some comments on this guys…voice your opinions if u really feel about the issue. Let the fire spark!
DHOOM 2 collections break records in USA & UK!!!
Oki people… while Sowmya gives you the rough collections of DHOOM 2 in her tid-bits of Bollywood podcast, lemme give you the exact figures the magnum opus managed to rake in the US of A and UK…

However, Daniel Craig ruled the screens as James Bond in his Casino Royale in the UK… But still, D2 managed to collect £415,701 (just about 3.5 crores!), which is much better when compared to Ben Affleck’s ‘Hollywoodland’ which managed to pull in a mere £65,735…

Abhishek and Hrithik getting fond of each other
also has been talking fondly of Abhishek. And they have decided to keep this fondness for each other forever by promising each other that they would do one film together every two year. Well my dear stars if you decide to be peaceful and humble what will the media have for news! Anyway lets see how far this ‘Jigri’ Dosti goes on.Dhoom II, listen to the review
Dhoom II is high on adrenaline and on machismo and at the same time it’s a super cool flick. Made with a huge budget and on a canvas thats never seen before in Bollywood. The makers of the film have made everything from the skies to land and even under water a part of their canvas making Dhoom not just stylish but also larger than life.
So what better way we thought to start of an all new series of podcast than review the biggest film that Bollywood has to offer this season. Here is the cool duo of Sowmya and Sandeep having a blast as they put together the pieces of Dhoom II exclusively for you… listen to this and enjoy also don’t forget to send in your feedback…
