And we are loving it! Finally. Someone spoke out the truth. Mansukhani deserves it and much more.

Tarun Mansukhani directed Dostana which was a fart that achieved only one thing. An excuse for Abhishek Bachchan to win the award for the best actor in comic role in his Dad’s film award function IIFA 4( India International Film Award of Amitabh, Abhishek & Aishwarya Rai Bachchan). What more ? Yeh, it gave an anthem to all those mothers who don’t understand their gay sons, to sing & joke around…ma da ladla bigad gaya! And guess what, NDTV India was playing the same song when the Delhi High Court ruling came out decriminalising gay sex. What an irony! The song says exactly opposite of what the court said. NDTV India played the visuals of the celebrations with the audio of the Dostana song! The channel lost it long ago. So we are cool with that.

Coming back to the topic. Those of you who follow Pritish Nandy on twiteer, must have read his tweet. And those who don’t, take a look.

Pritish Nandy tweet2

Nandy’s tweet reads – Guess what, Tarun Mansukhani has just claimed that his film Dostana helped change the attitude towards gays in India. What a pompous ass!

As soon as the Delhi High court verdict came out, Tarun Mansukhani gave hundred interviews claiming how his film Dostana helped in changing the attitude towards gays in India. We thought it did the reverse. Made a big joke out of it. For one such interview, click here. And here is one more where he even talks about Brokeback Mountani. Guts!

Aamir Khan & Katrina Kaif

So is Aamir Khan all ready for the Guru Dutt biopic ? Well, he still has to say yes to the film. Ad filmmaker Shivendra Singh Dungarpur has approached Aamir for the same and Anurag Kashyap is writing the script. Nothing has been finalised so far. But it seems he doesn’t mind bit of dress rehearsal. The pic is from the cover of Cineblitz magazine. Aamir Khan as Guru Dutt, hmmm, ok, we don’t have much choice. But Katrina Kaif as Waheeda Rehman ? WTF!! We can’t be so desperate. Just look at her. If only make up & photoshop could get the right expressions. Huh!

And here is the original one.

Pyaasa pic

Talking of Guru Dutt, here is an absolute favourite pic from his other classic Kagaz Ke Phool. So much expression packed in a pic. Aha…pure magic! Waheeda Rehman may keep on denying everything, from scratch to finish, but then how do you get such expressions ? Just acting. Rumours for her, life & death for him. They don’t make them like him any more.

Kagaz Ke Phool

Rensil D’Silva ? He is ad filmmaker & screenwriter ( Rang De Basanti, Luck ) and is making his directorial debut with Saif Ali, Kareena Kapoor & Vivek Oberoi in the lead. The film is titled Kurbaan ( earlier titled Jehad) and is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.

new yorkHere is the dope. Rensil recently checked out Kabir Khan’s New York, the new film from Yashraj Films. And he was shocked to see that two scenes in New York are exactly the same as it is in his film Kurbaan. Now how is that possible ? He quickly called up Karan to inform him about it. Karan generally sends all his scripts to Aditya Chopra for his feedback. Well, the dots got connected soon.

Now, Rensil D’Silva doesnt know what to do. He can’t go back and re-shoot those two scenes. And if he keeps the same scenes, it will look like he copied it from New York. Which scenes ? Read on.

1) The scene where Nawajuddin is driving the car and Katrina Kaif is sitting next to him. The police guys stops the car and asks Nawajuddin to show his license. He doesn’t understand english and so reacts violently thinking that police guys are harassing him because he is a muslim.

2) The second scene is the one where John Abraham introduces Neil Nitin Mukesh to his group. He picks out the traitor in the group and tells him to run away. And then John turns to Neil and asks him to take aim at the guy.

First was Suchita Bhhatia and now its from Karan Johar. what is Aditya Chopra upto these days ?

Strangely, K Jo sold the distribution rights of his two forthcoming films Kurbaan & Wake Up Sid to UTV, instead of Yashraj films who have been distributing his films for long. And now this incident. Will K Jo trust Adi again ? The answer isn’t difficult to guess.

….Ajj din chadheya. The rest of the album has big hangover of Jab We Met (all formula – ek club number, ek romantic, ek sad, ek  emotional ) and too much of punjabhi dhoom dhadaka! Makes it look like as if Punjabi is India’s national identity, culture, language, music, dance, food and everything else!

Twist & Aahun Aahun are peppy numbers for dance floors. That’s it. Ajj din chadheya‘s video is not out but to check out the complete song play the video link.

Lyrics – Irshad Kamil, Music – Pritam. Ajj din chadeya tere rang verga – original line by Shiv Kumar Batalvi.

And like us, if you care about the lyrics, do read on. Our favourite lines in bold.

Ajj din chadheya

tere rang varga

phool sa hai khila aaj din.

 

Rabba mere din yeh na dhale

voh jo mujhe khawab mein mile

usse tu laga de ab gale

tenu dil da vasta.

 

Rabba aaya dar de yaar ke

saara jahan chod chad ke

mere sapne sawar de

tenu dil da vasta.

 

Baksha gunahon ko

sun ke duwao ko

rabba pyaar hai tune

sabko hi de diya

meri bhi aahon ko

sun le duwao ko

mujhko woh dila

mene jisko hai dil diya.

 

Aas vo pyas vo

usko de itna bataa

Woh jo mujhe dekh ke hasse

pana chahun raat din jise

Rabba mere naam kar use

tenu dil da vasta.

 

Manga jo mera hai

jata kya tera hai

maine kaun si

tujhse jannat manga li

kaisa khuda hai tu

bas naam ka hai tu

rabba jo teri

itni si bhi na chali

chahiye jo mujhe

kar de tu mujhko ataa

jeeti rahi saltanat teri

jeeti rahe aashiqui meri

de de mujhe zindagi meri

tenu dil da vaasta.

 

Rabba mere din yeh na dhale

voh jo mujhe khawab mein mile

use tu laga de abb gale

tenu dil da vasta.

Rabba aaya dar de yaar de

saara jahan chod chad ke

mere sapne sawar de

tennu dil da vasta

 

Ajj din Chadheya

tere rang varga.

Luv KhannaAbout half a million (ok..make it lil less) readers are reading our blog everyday looking for some Luv Khanna! We are completely clueless about this Mr Luv or Lust Khanna and so decided to google more about him.

Luv Khanna is 26 year old model & engineer from Delhi. And the reason why people are looking for him is because he is on Rakhi Ka Swayamvar. The tv show on NDTV Imagine. Or its a game show ? Or new season of laughter challenge ? Yeh, think so. Is it for real ? Or scripted ? Whatever. And he is considered to be a strong contender. Those of you who are dying to see more of this Luv Khanna, check out the video. Its a must watch. Don’t miss the last bit. Kalyug ka Ram. We are ROFL!

To know more about the other insane grooms who want to marry Rakhi Sawant for whatever reasons, click here. Pics, asl & profession.

Suchita BhhatiaWho is this Suchita Bhhatia ? Whats her background ? That’s what Kabir Khan, the director of New York is wondering. And like him, if you are in the same boat we got the dope.

Suchita Bhhatia – Freelance writer. Have worked on Ad films with Dibakar Bannerjee. Done the making of Piyush Jha’s Sikandar & Bhavna Talwar’s Happy. Last job with Bhavna Dharam Talwar. Is from Delhi.

new yorkHer story – In 2006, she emailed Aditya Chopra introducing herself as a screenwriter. Chopra replied back and asked her to meet Arjun Sablok. She met Sablok & narrated him two story ideas. One was Osama – A Love Story. Two lead characters. Set in New York. They are in college. Fall in love. Gets married. 9/11 happens. The guy is muslim, is picked up and is sent to jail. Illegal detention. Torture. Harsh life. He comes out of jail and joins a terrorist group. Her script is registered with FWA ( Film Writers Association).

The basic premise of the story suspiciously sounds similar to New York’s main plot.

Yashraj Films version – Arjun Sablok says he doesn’t remember meeting her or hearing any story similar to New York. Kabir Khan has no clue because she never met him and doesn’t even claim so. Kabir Khan says she is doing it all for free publicty and claims that Aditya Chopra doesn’t reply to any stranger’s email.

Current status – Suchita has lodged a complaint with FWA ( Film Writers Association). Submitted email proofs and her story. Yashraj Films has decided to file a defamation case againt her. Is it to scare her or is it for true ? Not confirmed yet.

The HangoverIts The Hangover. By plagiarising or by buying the official remake rights. Its the Death at a Funeral of 2009. It was the same scene with Death At A Funeral last year and Indra Kumar made it into Daddy Kool. Ofcourse by plagiarising and had to pay later on. Click here for full report.

Back to The Hangover. It got the star ratings and box office business too. Whoever has seen it, loved it. Its the current remake favourite of bollywood. Almost every producer wants to remake it because in bollywood, comedy is considered to be safe bet always. Wish we could just learn one lesson for them. How they delivered such a big hit without any big names attached to it. Few things we will never learn.

Also in the queue, is a fourty plus actor who made headlines for his marriage, re-marriage & politics recently. He is already talking to the producers of the film. But it seems Warner Brothers is not willing to give the remake rights to anyone. They want to produce the remake themselves.

Looking at Warner Brothers’ slate of film here, Saans Bahu Aur Sensex & Chandi Chowk To China, we suggest that its better to make some money by selling the remake rights, instead of delivering one more dud. 

BTW, we loved it! Its the rudest, crudest & funniest film of the year! Don’t miss it. The fat bearded Jesus is the show stealer.

Last time it was Dev Patel on the sets of Freida’s new film. This time Freida came to see Dev in Philadelphia where he is shooting for M Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender. Check out the pic & the video. Need we say more. Jaanam samjha karo.

Sometime back it was….fuharein…..baucharein…nazarein….kuch boondein chura lo na……featuring Sushma Reddy….we had the Limca jingle in non-stop loop. After that it was a long dry season. Finally we have discovered two new jingles and are hooked on to it. Check them out. We are going mad googling who wrote & composed the jingles. So far no clue. If you have any clue, do let us know.

First one is of Bajaj Allianz. Yaara o yaara…..yeh kis pyaari hifazat me befikri ki halat hai…the shot of the woman on the bike, tied to the man….aha…visuals that match up with the lyrics. The voice is Sukhwinder Singh for sure. Lyrics ? Music ? Gulzar & Vishal Bhardwaj ? Thats what a comment on the video link says. Not sure. Can anyone confirm.

The other is Samsung mobile featuring Aamir Khan….Sirf ek hal hai…jeena ka yeh pal hai…..thodi zindagi chakh lo…. Our status is the same with this one. No clue who has written & composed it. We are born curious. Till we get to know, will be having sleepless nights.

BTW, we have the full audio of the Limca jingle…..fuharein…baucharein….If you want it do lets us know. We will happily share. And if you got no clue what we are rambling about, check out the video. Its written by Swanand Kirkire. Music ? We are lost again. Any jingle guys reading us  ??

We are feeling lazy today. Blame it on the monsoons. So, instead of writing posts we are just uploading pics. Here is an exclusive pic of Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori with Michael Jackson. They met Jackson during the shoot of Anurag Basu’s Kites in LA.
