The Hangover’s bollywood makeover!
Posted: July 27, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, cast news, gossipmongers, Hollywood, NewsTags: Abhishek Bachchan, Anees Bazmee, bollywood, Firoz Nadiadwala, Katrina Kaif, Paresh Rawal, remake, Ritesh Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt, The Hangover
Ages ago, we told you so! Here is the post where we wrote about how bollywood biggies are desperate to remake The Hangover.
And according to Mumbai Mirror, Firoz Nadiadwala has purchased the remake rights of the film. But according to our sources, the final deal is still not done and negotiation is on. Papers not signed yet.
The remake will be directed by Anees Bazmee. Abhishek Bachchan will play Bradley Cooper’s role and Paresh Rawal will step into the shoes of Zach Galifianakis. Ritesh Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt and Katrina Kaif might join the gang too. The 4o plus actor whom we mentioned in our earlier post is Sanju Baba who is damn interested to get the remake rights for his production house.
All we can say is what happens in Las Vegas, should stay in Las Vegas. And should never come to bollywood!

Trust Bhatts to turn a film out of every single news headline. And here is the latest one. Remember 26th July ? Tum Mile starring Emraan Hashmi & Soha Ali Khan, directed by Kunal Deshmukh and produced by Mukesh & Mahesh Bhatt. Here is the theatrical promo of Tum Mile.
what do you do when you suck at singing, dancing and acting ?

You join politics! And that’s what India’s first Indian Idol Abhijeet Sawant has done. Sawant has joined Shiv Sena.
Abhijeet Sawant suddenly shot to fame when he won the first season of Sony Tv’s show Indian Idol. We were never too fond of him. He became gaurav of Marathi Manoos. But then everything went wrong. His albums flopped, accused of plagiarism, got bad reviews.
He moved to reality shows. Tried shaking his legs. No more luck there. Someone saw an actor in him and decided to gamble his money with Lottery. Have you even heard of it ? Obviously the film sank without any trace.
With nothing more to do, Abhijeet has joined politics just before the Maharashtra Assembly Elections. Shiv Sena’s Executive President Uddhav Thackeray made the announcement and welcomed Sawant in the party. With Shiv Sena facing tough competition from MNS, Sawant’s singing will surely manage some crowd at the rallies. Votes ? We aren’t sure.
Connecting the dots – LAK’s Aahun aahun, deewane tere & kadi te !

If Pritam is here, can plagiarism be far behind! Or may be, its just his bad luck. Some sound somewhere always sounds similar! Check out this song.

Finally, some sanity in Pritam’s world!
Luck Film Reviews – we told you so!
Posted: July 24, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, cast & crew, film review, gossipmongers, News, ThoughtsTags: Anand Vaishnav, Anupama Chopra, Aslibaat, Buzz18, CNN IBN, Danny Denzongpa, film, Gaurav Malani, Imran Khan, Indiafm, Indiatimes, Khalid Mohamed, Luck, Minty Tejpal, Mumbai Mirror, NDTV, raja sen, Rajeev Masand, rediff, review, Sanjay Dutt, script, Shruti Hassan, Soham Shah, Taran Adarsh
We are not too fond of shouting “we told you so” from the rooftop again n again but then, we really don’t have a choice. When we read the script of Luck and posted our thoughts on it (click here & here ), many raised their eyebrows as high as Eiffel Tower. As if we were faking it! And if the early reviews are any indication, all you guys with raised eyebrows can suck your towers!
The film stars Imran Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Shruti Hassan, Danny Denzongpa, and Mithun Chakraborty. Its directed by Soham Shah.
Raja Sen ( Rediff ) – What the luck is this ? – 1/5
Gaurav Malani (Indiatimes) – Director Soham Shah rubs too hard on luck but at the same time stresses on the adage that ‘the only thing certain about luck is it’s going to change’. On that thought here’s wishing him better luck next time – 2 /5
Rajeev Masand ( CNN IBN ) – Luck, neither smart nor spectacular – 2/5
Khalid Mohamed ( Aslibaat) – Luck kiya jaaye ? No way – 1/5
Taran Adarsh (Indiafm) – On the whole, LUCK rides on star power, adrenaline-pumping thrills and a concept that’s novel for the Indian screens. Despite some loose ends, these three factors primarily would ensure a Lucky journey at the box-office – 3 /5
Minty Tejpal ( Mumbai Mirror) – Yuck! – 1/5
Anand Vaishnav (Buzz18) – Despite a solid start, by the time it ends you might say…Is Luck Se Mujhe Bachao – 1.5 / 5
Anupama Chopra (NDTV) – It might be unintentionally funny entertainment on a slow night when you have nothing else going on. So I’m going with two out of five stars and recommending that you wait for the DVD – 2/5
And surprisingly, some of the reviewers seems to share the exact thoughts as we put in our previous posts. Raja Sen felt it was like boring Khatroon Ke Khiladi episodes and Anupama Chopra mentions 13 Tzameti and Intacto sequences in her review.
Dear Imran, here is our next red alert for you!
Pics : Hrithik Roshan’s redemption & sin
Posted: July 23, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, gossipmongers, News, pics, ThoughtsTags: Barbara Mori, Hrithik Roshan, Kites, Rakesh Roshan, Suzanne Roshan, tattoo
The pics have been carefully leaked out. The intention is clear. But here is the most funnies part. It seems Hrithik Roshan got his wife Suzanne’s name tattooed when she was out of town. As a big surprise for her. Suprise ? Oh yeah. And then leak it out to the media for the world to know.
The first four pics are, well, what we would like to term as redemption! The pain. And the last two are the ones which started it all. According to gossipmongers, Hrithik was seriously flying high with his Kites co-star Barbara Mori. Even daddy Rakesh Roshan knew it all. When Suzanne got to know about it, she planned the masterstroke. Leaked out the news to tabloids and made Roshan boy deny it all and come back to home quickly. Indian actors dont fuck around. They are straight out of K Jo’s cinema – its all about loving your family.
And now these tattooes. Roshan junior will remember the fun, the sin and the redemption whenever he meets a new Barbara in his life again! Strange are the ways of bollywood!
Fox Star Studios has bagged Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan!
Posted: July 23, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, cast & crew, gossipmongers, Hollywood, News, Story / Plot / Synopsis, Thoughts, XclusiveTags: Dharma Productions, Fox Star Studios, Kajol, karan Johar, Kareena Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, My Name is Khan, Qurbaan, Ranbir kapoor, Rizwan Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, UTV, Vivek Oberoi, Wake Up Sid, Yashraj Films
Yes, its confirmed. Since its inception, Fox Star Studios, a joint venture between 20th Century Fox and STAR Network, hasn’t been much active. It started business with the big one Slumdog Millionaire. But could not manage much business because the whole world had already seen the film by the time they decided to release it in the theatres in India.
Recently Fox Star Studios signed the deal with Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions for rights of My Name is Khan for a whopping 100 crore. The figure is not yet confirmed but thats the number doing the rounds. Earlier this year, Karan Johar tied up with UTV for his other two productions, Qurbaan ( Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi ) and Wake Up Sid ( Ranbir Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma). And now the deal with the Fox Star Studios. Seems like its the end of Yashraj films-Dharma Productions’ dostana, who earlier used to distribute all of Karan Johar’s films.
My Name is Khan stars Shah Rukh Khan & Kajol and is directed by Karan Johar. Its the story of Rizwan Khan, a man with asperger syndrome, whose son gets killed in a racial attack and he is branded as a terrorist. Rizwan then decides to meet the President to clear his stand. Eventually it turns out to be a big campaign across the country and makes him famous. Rizwan’s punchline says it all – My Name is Khan & I am not terrorist! It has superhit written all over it. Seems like a good deal for Fox Star Studios.
Rakhi Sawant will marry Elesh Parujanwala!
Posted: July 22, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, gossipmongers, News, pics, television, ThoughtsTags: Abhishek Awasthi, Chitiz Jain, Elesh Parujanwala, Manas Katyal, Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, Rakhi Sawant
Thats what Mumbai Mirror claims. Rakhi Sawant is finally getting married to Elesh Parujanwala on the show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar.
At this stage, there are three finalists – Manas Katyal, Chitiz Jain and Elesh Parujanwala. Elesh is 30 year old Gujrati businessman based in Toronto. Runs family business and wants to get into entertainment industry in Mumbai. Seems like a perfect match. Rakhi will get deep pocketwala NRI and Elesh will find a getaway for his bollywood aspirations! If nothing, Nach Baliye guys will surely call up the pair.
BTW, there have been few other rumours doing the rounds. First, She will not marry anyone. The finalist will be offered big money and will be asked to choose between Rakhi Sawant or money. He will go for the cash.
Second, Rakhi’s ex-boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi will turn up at the show, do some drama and she will finally end up with him. With Rakhi, anything is possible. You never know!
Whats’s next ? Rakhi Ka Honeymoon and Rakhi Ka Divorce!
Kaminey- Whose story is it ?
Posted: July 22, 2009 by moifightclub in bollywood, cast & crew, News, Story / Plot / Synopsis, Thoughts, writingTags: Abhishek Chaubey, Kaminey, Kampala, Mira Nair, Sabrina Dhawan, story, Supratik Sen, Vishal Bhardwaj, Yuganda
First we read that there are four writers who have been credited for Kaminey. Vishal Bhardwaj, Supratik Sen, Sabrina Dhawan and Abhishek Chaubey. And now there is one more addition.
In an interview to Mumbai Miror, Vishal has clarified that the story started with a fifth person. To quote Vishal
Four years ago, Mira Nair assembled writers from America, India and Canada to mentor ten students from Asia and Africa. This scriptwriting workshop was held in Kampala, Yuganda.
A young writer from Nairobi showed me a script which was a story about twin brothers and what happens in their life in a span of 24 hours. It was like parallel cutting and I really liked that approach. Mira and I spoke about it at length and both of us felt that it was a typical Bollywood masala movie.
I was in touch with that writer for the next six months. He also sent me another draft. Then two-three years later I asked him to sell me the idea. He was in need of money so I sent him some 4000 dollars and bought the script to make any time.
I picked up that idea and added Bollywood masala and my dark and serious side to it. So now, one brother stammers and the other has a lisp. I thought that it would be exciting to make. But it wasn’t that easy. It was very tough and I had to work really hard. I would never like to make such a film again.
We wonder if the person is credited in the film. Because in publicity material there is no mention of any fifth person. But then, do you credit someone for story idea ? May be, or is it more than an idea. Unlike others, who makes sure to hide every source of inspiration, even if its remake, it feels good to read that Vishal is giving credit to the person who deserves it. Wish he had given out the writer’s name too.
