Tashan boycotted by multiplexes

tashan_11 copy copy.JPG

Tashan has run into trouble just a day before its grand release as the negotiations going on between Yash Raj Films and Multiplexes over sharing revenue has gone down the drain.

Around 125 mulitplex chains like PVR,Adlabs, Inox, Fame India, Fun Cinemas, Movietime and Cinemax have restrained from signing an agreement to screen Tashan. So tomorrow Tashan will not see the light of the day in most of the multiplexes or single screens owned by them.

Apparently Yashraj was demanding higher share of profit around 55 percent for first week collections, which did not go well with Multiplex chains.

Sanjeev Kohli, CEO and director Yash Raj Films said, “YRF has not asked the multiplexes for any incremental terms from those concluded for last year. The terms being discussed are the same as those agreed upon for our films of last year. As done in the past, YRF will compensate the multiplexes in the event that a film does not perform to expectation; we have done this last year as well.”

This proves that inspite of having false bikini buzz and zero-size heroine a film can still land into trouble.

Yehi hai industry ka Tashan. ;)

Kareena’s bikinis buzz a false rumor?

104.jpg
 
There was lot of buzz about Kareena’s famous bikini shot for her upcoming movie Tashan. But the actress has denied donning the bikini for Tashan. Yashraj has cunningly used the hype caused around these alleged bikini shots for the publicity of Tashan.

A close friend of Kareena said, “Kareena’s successful film Jab We Met gave a boost to her career. She has managed to get that girl next-door image. That role and film has not only given her several best actress awards but has also made her the highest paid actress in Bollywood. Apparently Kareena is apprehensive about her bikini scene which may kill her new found girl next door image.”

When Bebo was asked about her upcoming bikini scene in Tashan, she denied doing any bikini shoot and said there is no bikini scene in Tashan.

But Bebo, your skimpy dresses in Tashan are almost equal to a bikini.

Bikini or no bikini ki faraq paenda hai?

Saif’s eternal ‘Kareena’ tattoo a temporary one

saif_tattoo210108_445x340.jpg
 
Saif Ali Khan made news some weeks back by professing his undying love for Kareena by tattooing her name on his forearm. His ladylove Bebo was clearly impressed by his eternal gesture.

But then an experienced player like Saif Ali Khan is not dumb to get a permanent a tattoo. Apparently the tattoo is not permanent and needs to be dyed every six days so that it retains its color. And if not dyed at regular intervals the tattoo can simply vanish away.

Now Kareena needs to be alert, like Saif’s love could also be similar to his temporary tattoo, can vanish away anytime.

Race:Review

untitled2.JPG
Many years ago Abbas-Mustan came out with a great hit Baazigar and made the dialogue popular, “haar k jeetne wale ko baazigar kehte hai.” Now we are not talking about SRK, here our Baazigars are none other than duo Abbas-Mustan, who recently experienced haar with duds like 36 China Town and Naqaab, and finally have struck jeet through Race.

Last year Naqaab was touted as the “most shocking thriller” of the year by Abbas-Mustan but it failed miserably. But this time the duo has let their work speak for them instead of making tall claims and Race clearly stands out. Race is a total Saif and Akshay’s movie: they delivered superb performances.

The story of Race revolves around two stepbrothers Ranvir Singh (SAK) and Rajeev Singh (Akshay). The two brothers compete against each other since childhood, and as the rule goes for every game, Saif always ends up winning whereas Akshay is on the losing side. Shot extensively in South Africa, the movie is about betrayal, greed, intrigue and revenge.
Ranvir the eldest of the two brothers is a cunning businessman who is always hungry for success and owns a ranch named Stallions. He gives tough competition to his competitors and doesn’t forgive people who try to act smart with him. On the other hand Rajiv (Akshay) is a total spoilt-rich-brat who loves wine more than the family horses.

Ranvir falls head-over-heels in love with the fashion catwalk queen Sonia (Bipasha Basu). But then a thriller is incomplete without a love triangle. Ranvir’s beautiful and hot secretary is secretly in love with her, but Ranvir gives a damn to her. As expected (from the trailers) Akshay also falls in love with Bipasha, and promises to mend his ways if Bipasha accepts his marriage proposal. Saif Ali Khan like every Indian elder brother sacrifices his love for his younger bro. But then one of the brothers has evil intentions in mind, a murder is committed, and the evil brother gets to walk away with the insurance claim of whooping hundred million.

Now a murder mystery is incomplete without a detective, and we do have one in Race. Robert D’Costa aka RD (Anil Kapoor), who is always munching fruits along with his sexy dumb bimbette secretary Mini (Sameera Reddy) enters the scene of crime and try to solve the mystery of the murder. The thriller gets its dose of humor with this detective-secretary combo. Although the jokes are dumb the audience are left in splits.

The best things about Race are not one but many: Akshay’s negative performance, Pritam’s rocking music, Stunts by Allan Amin, great dialogues, good Cinematography and above all a meaningful ending.

Although the movie is glossy with many action stunts, the director reminds us of SRK’s Baazigar, when one of the brother pushes down the other from the terrace of high-rise building to his death similar to the way SRK pushes down Shilpa Shetty in Baazigar. The first half of Race, kept me glued to my seat, I could not predict easily what exactly will happen in the next scene. With lots of twists and turns, I was munching my popcorn at Rajdhani express speed wondering what is gonna happen next.

Performance wise Akshay Khanna is the best in his negative avatar, Saif Ali Khan (he should take tips on working out from his zero size girlfriend) delivers a power packed performance as an intense elder brother and shrewd businessman, rest all are mediocre. Amongst all the ladies in the movie Bipasha Basu stands out, Katrina Kaif looks strikingly beautiful but fails to strike the right acting chord, Sameera Reddy acts as the Indian version of dumb blonde and provides enough justice to her role. Anil Kapoor provides the comedy element to the movie, but his acts looks monotonous.

Overall the movie is great, can be watched once (once you know the mystery its no more fun), the ladies up the sex quotient and great powerhouse performances by Saif and Akshay. A total paisa vasool movie. Don’t forget to check out the car blast scene in the first half of the movie. I expect Race will recover its investment and break the 30 crore barrier in its first week collections itself. Go Race yourself to the theaters.

My Rating: * * */ 5

Bebo gets richer and richer

kareena-kapoor-interview.jpg
Bollywood actresses are raking in a great moolah, and are now not far behind than their male counterparts. For instance Kareena Kapoor who is riding high on her success with Jab We Met has bagged a Rs3.5 crore deal with a leading studio, and close on the heels of this deal, Bebo has bagged yet another Rs3.5 crore venture with another production company.

Kareena will star alongside John Abraham, in the untitled flick, which will be directed by veteran writer-turned-director Rumi Jaffery.

A close pal of Bebo says, Kareena stands to be one up over Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Till yesterday Ash was the highest paid actress in the film industry. But that does not hold true anymore. Ash gets paid Rs. 3 crore for a film, while Kareena gets a neat Rs.3.5 crore! That makes her the highest paid actress in the industry today.”

Lets see if Kareena will be able to repeat her success story. Then we can decide if she is worth those crores or not.

Kareena: I don’t diet

kareena1909_430x.jpg

Folks, you all must know about Kareena’s weight obsession, crash dieting and how she collapsed on Tashan’s set. But the actress has denied being on crash diet, and obsession for size zero figure.

Kareena said, “I am not thin. The media makes me out to be. I don’t diet. One look at me and you know I am quite healthy.”

Despite collapsing and crash dieting, Kareena still manages to make her self glow, we might think the result is because of her relationship with Saif, but the actress retorts,  “It is the success of my films that’s making my skin glow.”

I always believed box-office successes makes the actors grow, but in Kareena’s case they are making her glow. :)

Saif’s nawabi andaaz of giving gifts to bebo

>saif-kareena-tashan.jpg

Well Saif is a loyal ambassador of Royal Stag because he truly lives up to his name by making his life large, and it is applicable to the expensive buys he gifts his ladylove. In true Nawabi Style Saif is going all out to profess his love for Kareena. He already has tattooed her name on his arm, gifted her a ring worth one crore and a pair of diamond jhumkas are on their way too. And now he has gone a step ahead by chartering a private jet for Kareena Kapoor

According to a close associate, Kareena is said to be very fond of Goa, “Both Saif and Kareena are busy in their respective film projects. The duo gets very little time to spend together. Though Saif is very busy, he always makes a point to visit Kareena. He does everything for his Bebo. She loves Goa, that’s why the duo decided to spend time together in Goa. So in his typical extravagant gesture, Saifu has chartered a jet especially for her so that she can fly to Goa whenever her heart desires.”

Ahaan! So what next Chote Nawab?? I suggest a romantic trip to the moon with your honey. :)

Shahid Kapoor gives up smoking

shahid_kapoor_114_1024x768.jpg

Handsome hunk Shahid Kapoor who was a teetotaler and non-smoker, had taken up heavy smoking in order to come out of the depression caused by his break up with sexy Kareena Kapoor. Gosh! Shahid you must have realized by now that Kareena doesn’t deserve your love, so why to get into depression. Just dump that girl out of your mind!!!

A close friend of Shahid revealed, “Shahid was a complete teetotaler, but he started smoking on the sets of Kismet Connection in Canada after his break-up with Kareena. He was often stressed out and we didn’t realize what was wrong with him. Suddenly, we saw him smoking heavily during the shoots. We thought it was work-related stress, but we were worried when we saw that he had become a chain smoker.”

Friends bugged him alot and advised him against becoming a chain smoker as it would ruin his health, and thankfully Shahid has realized his folly. As said by the close source, “Shahid realized that a lot had changed in his personal and professional life. Kareena has moved on and so has he. He has accepted things and is happier after Jab We Met was hugely appreciated. He doesn’t need cigarettes anymore!”

Shahid’s personal trainer and close friend Abbas Ali also confirmed the news, “Shahid is training very hard these days. But a few days back there was something amiss; he was not achieving the desired results. When he asked me what was wrong, I told him that his smoking was causing him much harm. Thank goodness, he kicked off the habit and has stuck to it.”

Shahid had taken up smoking on the sets of Kismet Connection and now has given up the habit prior to its release.

Yeh hui na kismat ki baat!
