Imtiaz AliYes, Seven fucking crore! For Love Aaj Kal. And we are happy to know and share the info. Because this is one director who made it all by himself. From nobody to saat-lakhiya director as people in Jamshedpur must be calling him. 

He was paid only 25 Lakhs or so for Jab We Met, which is hard to believe. But it may be true because Socha Na Tha was a big flop though we don’t know of anyone who doesn’t like it. Some even prefer it more than Jab We Met. But as they say, strange are the ways of life! Learn to live and deal with it.

From the promos and songs of Love Aaj Kal, it looks like win-win situation for Imtiaz again. He is trying to get Hrithik Roshan for his next film. It seems Roshan baba is giving him sleepless nights to him. We will keep you posted on that too.

Here is a recent interview of Imtiaz Ali – on his love-on-the-run triology, Jamshedpur days, dialogue writing and more. Enjoy.

Whats in a name!

BTW, someone whose opinion we value, told us today that we are fucking pretentious ( is the spelling correct ? Hmmm…we are not sure). Because our blog is called fight club and we are happy to serve gossip. Its NOT done. Ouch!

Not that it matter much to us but we are thinking about other options now. Because we believe everyone loves gossip. Some just deny it. So our fight club will surely have gossip. If not, we are willing to change the name of our blog.  We have shortlisted some options so that the theory of gossip gels well with our blog’s name. Let us know what do you prefer.

1. www.bhaagbhonsdiaandhiaaye.wordpress.com (what a title)

dibakarDibakar Banerjee is gearing up for not one but two films. A quickie and a biggie!

The quickie starts next month. Its in digital, about the digital world and will have new faces.  Love, lust, betrayal, sex, all packed in shoe string budget. The film is produced by Ekta Kapoor. Dibakar & Ekta! Whats the common ground!

The biggie is a political thriller and goes on floors by the year end. Dibakar’s current favourite Abhay Deol will be in it for sure. Its a satire about politics at the basic level. We know that Dibakar has also signed Imran Khan to star with Abhay Deol. But we are not sure if its the same film or not. Will keep posted as we get more details.

The theatrical trailer of Imran Khan’s new film Luck is out. The film is directed by Soham Shah. It also stars Sanjay Dutt, Shruti Hassan ( debut film), Mithun Chakraborty, Danny Denzongpa and Ravi Kissen. Take a look.

And what we think about Luck, click here to know. Why we are shouting “plagiarism” again! We got all the details of the films from which Luck is copied

BTW, we are suffering from mixed emotions these days. Happy and sad. Why ? Because a popular movie blog is not only copy-pasting our content but even copying our style!

Anu AhujaShe has come out in public in support of her husband Shiney Ahuja. On television channels. Anupam Ahuja or Anu Ahuja, even organised a press conference today. She got her freinds and neighbours together and tried to made it look like a false case. The rape of her maid by Shiney Ahuja. She says that Shiney is completely innocent and he has been framed!

But here is the real dope. Direct from the horse’s mouth. We ofcourse can’t name the horse but here is the goss.

Off the record Anupam Ahuja has confessed that she knows the truth. She thinks Shiney is a dumb guy but he is not a rapist. He surely had sex with the maid but it was with her consent. It was consensual. But Anupam Ahuja will not make the confession public because her priority now is to get Shiney out of jail. 

13 Tzameti

               +                 Intacto                   

 

=    Luck              

Thats what the buzz is! And trust us, its all true. If you dissect Luck scene by scene, its called plagiarism! Only difference is its bollywoodised (or say bastardised ) version of the two. In Sanjay Gupta style, Luck will be all dhoom dhaam zhoop zhaap! Its directed by Soham Shah ( Kaal ) and stars Sanjay Dutt, Imran Khan, Shruti Hasan (debut film), Mithun Chakraborty and Danny Denzongpa.

Some sequences are straight lift from 13 Tzameti and Intacto. Remember the famous spine chilling bulb sequence of 13 Tzameti. The concept has been completely plagiarised, without the bulb.

13 Tzameti is an absolute favourite of ours and its was directed by Gela Babluani when he was only 26 years old! If you havent seen the film yet, you need to watch it now! Don’t miss it. BTW, here is the scene that we are talking about.

                                     

The best thing about blogs – we got no censors! And for publicity, the filmwalahs would do anything. The publicists of Pankh leaked out this nude pic of Maradona Rebello. Its a still from the film. Censor Board has not passed the scene and it has been edited out. So all you folks who have been googling Mardona Rebello Nude – here it is! Have a look.

(PIC removed on request)

The story of Pankh is similar to the story of child actor Ahsaas Channa (remember the kid in Ramu’s Vastu Shastra/Phoonk….she is not she, we mean, he is always dressed up as a girl. His dad filed a case against the mother for exploiting Ahsaas. For dressing him up as a girl to get more work in films. Nobody had any clue about his gender till the matter reached court)

In similar way, Pankh is about a boy who is treated as a girl by his mother since childhood and how he becomes confused with his sexuality as he grows up. It stars Bipasha Basu, Lilette Dubey, Mahesh Manjrekar and Maradona Rebello in lead role. The film is directed by debutant Sudipto Chattopadhyay and is produced by Sanjay Gupta’s White Feather Films.

Ashutosh GowarikerAccording to reports in today’s Mid-day, director Ashutosh Gowariker was damn pissed off at the IIFA Awards (Macau) because Boman Irani and Ritesh Deshmukh took dig at many actors and films while hosting the awards.  On stage, he also questioned how Priyanka Chopra can win the Best Actress Award for Fashion.  The links to the stories are here and here. And we are ROFL since we read these two reports. Why ? Read on, a letter to Mr Gowariker.

Dear Ashu,

Hope you dont mind it. Calling you Ashu. For us and many others, this whole award business is a big farce. Only three kind of people attend the awards – 1) Those who are going to win 2) Those are going to make money by performing some naach gaana 3) Those who don’t have any kind of work.

Mr Gowariker, is this something new to you ? Something that you don’t know ? Itsn’t it all a big joke and simply money making business ? Otherwise why would an award function will have a brand ambassador ? And that too Amitabh Bachchan.

Who handles IIFA Awards ? Its made to sound like some heavy film body  ( India International Film Academy or some shit like that)but at the end of the day its Wizcraft. Just an event management company! With just a single aim – Make money and more money! Indian cinema it isn’t. Its not even hindi cinema. Its just the popular hindi cinema. Films that are all about the stars. Nothing beyond that.

Dear Mr Gowariker, what are you cribbing about ? When you participate in such a farty show, you are part of the joke and when you are part of the joke, just shut up and laugh at the joke. You don’t have a choice.

And talking about wrong choices, did it bother you because Aishwarya Rai didn’t get it ? Or was it because Aishwarya Rai was the main lead in your film Jodha Akbar ? If you are so holier-than-thou, why not raise voice against all the wrong choices ? Why not boycott all the awards show ? Thats much better! The shows which still don’t bother to respect the talents but just the stars.

Its just a TV show, Mr Gowariker! Get it in your head. Or if its already there, stop pretending!

The more stars they get, more money they will make from tv rights. They have to do naach gaana and crack jokes to make it entertaining. That’s it. So WTF are you talking!

ps – This is without any kind of bias against you. We love your films. Lagaan and Swades score high on our list of all time favourite films. No conspiracy theory here!

Here is the first look of Ranbir Kapoor starrer Wake Up Sid. The film is produced by Karan Johar, directed by debutant Ayaan Mukherjee and Konkona Sen Sharma stars opposite Ranbir in the film. The story is set in Mumbai and its a love story of an aimless young guy (Ranbir Kapoor) who falls for an older and simple woman (Konkona Sen Sharma), a writer from Kolkata.
