Ramu’s ROFL video of Agyaat – The Jungle song!
Posted: July 17, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, first look, News, shit, songs & videos, ThoughtsTags: Agyaat, blog, Jungle, jungle song, Ram Gopal Varma, Ramu, video
You can trust him to do anything! Ram Gopal Varma or Ramu, he swings better than any pendulam ever made on this earth. From one extreme to other. How ? Nobody knows the answer and we dont think we will ever find an answer. A new promotional music video of Agyaat is out and Ramu has posted it on his blog. Its called the jungle song. We think its the ROFL video of the season. We have put the video here, check it out.
Dear Ramu,
Enough of school girls in skimpy clothes! How much of desperately-trying-hard-to-be oriental porn can we handle ? Huh. Bored.
FC
And talking of Jungle, remember that killer song from Ramu’s another Jungle…patli kamar…teerchi nazar….jaane de na julmi mere pyaar udhar hai. Impossible to believe that its the same Ramu! Now check out this video.
Luck & Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hain’s test screening report
Posted: July 16, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, cast & crew, News, ThoughtsTags: Ashtavinayak Films, Imran Khan, Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hain, Jacqueline Fernandes, Luck, Milap Jhaveri, Mukesh Talreja, Nikhil Advani, Ritesh Deshmukh, Ruslaan Mumtaz, script, Shruti Hassan, Soham Shah, test screening, Warner Brothers
One was “tremendous” and the other “stupendous”.
Test screenings are not common in bollywood. We are all about hiding, too scared, if its bad, then ? Things are slowly changing, better safe than sorry.
But can someone tell the makers of both the films, Luck & Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hain, that test screenings are done to gauge audiences reaction and not for press release or create buzz or any kind of publicity. Its to make the film better and not the film’s publicity better. Also, we wonder what can one/two screenings reveal when the target audience is huge and so diverse.
Luck is produced by Ashtavinayak Films, directed by Soham Shah and stars Imran Khan, Shruti Hassan, Mithun Chakraborty and Danny Dangzongpa. According to this report, the test screening report was “tremendous”. Click here to read our post on the script of Luck. May be we are not the correct target audience for Luck!
Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai is proudced by Nikhil Advani/Mukesh Talreja/Warner Brothers and its the directorial debut of writer Milap Jhaveri (Hey Baby, Naksha, Pyare Mohan, Home Delivery, Lucky, Musafir, Masti, Kaante) and stars Ritesh Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandes & Ruslaan Mumtaz. According to Milap, the reponse was “fantastic” and “stupendous”.
With “tremendous” and “stupendous” reports, hope we will get to see two good films soon. You can read the Indiafm and Mumbai Mirror news reports here & here. Btw, if Nikhil Advani is really giving out his script of Patiala House to readers to get feedback as mentioned in this report, someone please do mail it to us moifightclub@gmail.com . We will make sure that he gets the most honest feedback!
Reliance-Spielberg BIG deal – all the details
Posted: July 16, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, cinema, Hollywood, News, ThoughtsTags: Anil Ambani, BIG Entertainment, deal, Dreamworks, Reliance, Stacey Snider, Steven Spielberg, Walt Disney
Anil Ambani is all set to make all his hollywood debut. He met with DreamWorks Studios partners Steven Spielberg and Stacey Snider on wednesday and announced one of the biggest deals in recent times. We have simplified all the details for easy read.
– The new motion picture company formed between Reliance BIG Entertainment and DreamWorks has been functioning since November 2008 from DreamWorks’ office in Los Angeles, California.
– There will be an initial investment of $825 million, available for film production. $325 million would be Reliance’s contribution, $150 million from Disney and the rest would be from banks and financial institutions.
– DreamWorks will eventually make 5-6 films per year with the funding.
– The Walt Disney Company will handle marketing and distribution of the films around the world, except for India where Reliance BIG Entertainment will have the distribution rights.
– DreamWorks will start the first film for the new studio later this year.
In India, Big Pictures has not been able to produce a single decent film so far. With deep pockets, they are willing to put money wherever they can spot a star. On their own, they havent developed any film/script/property. Few months back, they shut down their writing department as well and fired all the wrirters. A classic case of Big is NOT always better.
Rakhi Sawant to stay single even after the swayamvar!
Posted: July 15, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, gossipmongers, News, shit, televisionTags: NDTV Imagine, Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, Rakhi Sawant
Like us, if you are quite vella and scratching your head wondering WTF is going to happen to Rakhi Sawant after the show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, we got some fresh goss.
According to Buzz18’s Juicy Mausi, Rakhi Sawant will remain single even after the Swayamvar. It seems there is no clause in the contract which states that she HAS to marry someone at the end of the show.
Rakhi Ka Swayamvar is getting quite lot of balls, oops, eyeballs for obvious reasons and generating good buzz. Also, because of the show, NDTV Imagine has moved from No. 5 potition to No.4, replacing Sony.
In the finale, the contestants will be asked to choose between a large sum of money and Rakhi Sawant. And when they do, Rakhi will throw a fit and walk away! ROFL! Marega…jiyega….shaadi karega….TRP ke liye kuch bhi karega!
Bollywoodpopat also reports the same. According to the report, some astro-numerologist Sandhiya Mehta (kaun hai yeh ?), the show is all fake, only good publicty for Rakhi Sawant and great TRP idea for NDTV Imagine.
Wooohoo…we never Imgine-d that we will write so much about Rakhi Sawant!
BTW, if you are still vella and bored, watch this hilarious video. Its a must watch!
Akshay Kumar’s new film – Thank You
Posted: July 15, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, cast news, NewsTags: Akshay Kumar, Anees Bazmee, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Singh Is King, Thank You, UTV, Welcome
According to the news buzz, Akshay Kumar has signed a new film with UTV Motion Pictures. The film will be directed by Anees Bazmee and is titled Thank You. It seems Akshay has been a fat paycheck even during these recession times. The big question is will Akshay Kumar score a hattrick with Anees Bazmee after Welcome & Singh Is King ?
Thank You is a comic caper and Neil Nitin Mukesh will also star in it. The leading ladies are yet to be finalised.
BTW, we think Akshay Kumar (AK) should change his name to PAK – Punju Akshay Kumar. Because in almost every other film he is playing the same good ol’ Punju and doing similar stuff.

When Big B becomes Buddha B…
Posted: July 14, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, gossipmongers, shit, ThoughtsTags: Amitabh Bachchan, Big B, blog, karan Johar, Mid-day, Sarita Tanwar, Subhash K Jha, SUV, Tushar Joshi
…he rambles on and on and on. Signs of being senile ?
Those of you who follow Buddha B, oops, Big B’s blog, you know what we are talking and those who don’t, read on. Mid-day, the Mumbai based tabloid is known for giving finger-fucks to celebrities and they make sure that they give their best. And their latest love is Amitabh Bachchan.
Recently Mid-day’s Tushar Joshi did a story on Amitabh Bachchan, how he doesnt practice what he preaches. He supports going green but drive in SUVs, the gas guzzlers. You can read the full story here. Phir kya tha ?
The finger-fuck did the trick, Bachchan went on a rampage on his blog and came up with the lamest reply through a blogpost. He attacked the reporter (Tushar Joshi), Entertainment Editor of the tabloid (Sarita Tanwar) and rambled non-stop without making any sense. And even took digs at Karan Johar. Here are some gems from his post…
I am aware that my acumen in keeping the press happy and co operative is abysmal. I am not generous enough in entertaining them to either media jaunts to out of town activities, especially those in foreign lands, and neither do I have the required savvy to invite them to social gatherings and parties like a Karan Johar does for his birthday to Sarita Tanwar and others of her ilk.
And his biggest lie…
If media needs to be nurtured for personal gain I would imagine it would destroy their very tenets of unbiased reporting, would it not. In keeping with that sentiment, if I have desisted, is there some error being committed on my part ?
(Can someone ask him about the pest called Subhash K Jha ? The whole world knows that Jhaji is Bachchanophile. Jhaji is the point person for Bachchan family to plant their news pieces and so he gets every exclusive news about Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. In return, he just has to keep on sucking upto the Bachchan family. )
BUT… dearest Sarita Tanwar of Karan Johar party invite… I have a suggestion to make. When the removal of my one such SUV will save the world from hundreds of years of existence, would it not be worth its while to extend the life of our planet even further. I mean think of your grand children to the power of infinity pushing yellow pencils for Mid Day in cyberland !! Thats an exciting proposition is it not ? Or would you rather let good ol’ smsed Tushar do the noble deed ?
And.. I say… tell this chap Tushar to stop using his mobile. Have you any idea what the radio activity each call and sms sent, creates for the environment ?It all adds up deary !! Lets start at home first, no ? So this is fixed then.. no mobile phones ok ? When you need to communicate, just walk across to AB’s house and ask him the question. What is a couple of kilometers ? Nothing ! Will help burn the calories, keep you fit.
This Maharashtra Police, I tell you, they are second to only the Scotland Yard of Britain. Right now they are smarting because of 26/11. You need to treat them with care. All of them use the Bolero SUV and the Qualis SUV. You mess with them baby, they run you over with them SUV over your chest. Think of your walking journalistic future Tushaaar !! They do not make guys like you any more !!
And some more…
No plane , no Union. Simple no ? Stop King Fisher, go meet Vijay Mallya at his pad in Goa. In Goa eh.. remember Goa ! I tell you why. The beach in front of his gorgeous palace is being eaten up with the sea coming in… because of what, Tushar, Sarita… whoever is listenning… global warming !! Go stop Jet Airways ! They are retrenching heavily. They will love you for this.
Sarita and Tushar… get rid of your mobile, your electricity, your air travel, your cars, your news paper, push yourself back to prehistoric times and show me the way to progress so that we are not referred to as a developing nation a nation that is referred to insultingly as the third world. We want to compete with the world, to bring our standards up.
Finally….
STOP PRINTING MID DAY MATES IN YOUR PAGES….!!!
Sarita, I know that you have published today a rejoinder to your yesterday’s headline, where you have tried to nullify the damage done by your previous article. But remember always if you have the right to be the keepers of society so do I. If you have the right of cynicism, so do I. If you exercise the right to pull my leg I shall pull yours as well. And every time you shall abuse me wrongly I shall rightfully correct your abuse.
Mr Bachchan, what are you eating, drinking or smoking these days ? Mid-day will be Mid-day. Why get dirty with them ?
And if you still have some patience to read the full post, click here. Don’t say that we didn’t warn you. Never before a celeb blog been so boring and nonsensical.
Sameera’s bye bye to bollywood!
Posted: July 14, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, gossipmongers, News, ThoughtsTags: bollywood, quit, Sameera Reddy, Sanjay Gupta
Times are changing and surely for good. According to this report in Hindustan Times, Sameera Reddy is all ready to quit bollywood. Reason – She is not getting any good offers! Is that any news ? She should have packed up long back. We hope she quickly packs her bags now before someone approaches her and makes us suffer one time. Enough of Reddy’s T & A.
BTW, we wonder if Sanjay Gupta is the reason. With no sugar daddies to help her out, what will Reddyji do. And if you havent read Guptaji’s quote on Reddyji, do click here.
NDTV India – which moron decides Mumbai Central’s content ?
Posted: July 14, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, News, News Channels, plagiarism, televisionTags: Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao, Mayuri Dongre, Mumbai Central, NDTV India, reality show
Because he/she surely doesn’t understand any shit about entertainment news. Saw the Monday bulletin (13th July- 23:00) of Mumbai Central on NDTV India. The central theme – We copy reality show formats like we plagiarise hollywood films. Its the same story on big and small screen. Dude, its not! One is with proper license and the other is just copy-paste.
The big mistake – 90% reality shows on Indian television are NOT plagiarised. The format is owned by some foreign production house and its shot here with proper license. Its NOT copy-paste job as the scene is with our films and as NDTV India made it to be. Someone needs to tell this to the editor of Mumbai Central. Because the anchor Mayuri Dongre repeated the same lines some two hundred times in just 15 minutes. Yeh bhi churaya hua hai…isme bhi desi tadka laga hai bus…..hamara show kab aayega….kab hamara sar uncha hoga ?
Can someone explain it to me what and how is the logic of having sar ooncha ? These reality shows are popular in many countries across the world and its the same process everywhere. Someone designs the show, owns it, gives license to other parties and makes money. From Kaun Banega Crorepati ( Who wants to be millionaire) to Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao ( I’m a Celebrity…Get me out of here), every show is done after paying the license fees. Many times even the production house which owns the rights to the show are also involved in producing the show in other countries. So whatever NDTV India showed today at 23:00 pm on Mumbai Central, it was factually all wrong.
When it comes to entertainment news, they suck big time. The other day, a voiceover said Anurag Basu is the director of Black Friday! Anurag Basu ??!! Can’t they make out the difference between Anurag Basu and Anurag Kashyap ? And how it gets passed ? One person writes it, someone checks it, third person does the voiceover and finally a fourth one approves it. How come no one notices it ? Huh!
Hope the moron of Mumbai Central is listening! Otherwise, at this rate, NDTV India will soon become INDIA TV.
