pyaar impossible website

Pyaar Impossible is Yashraj Films Productions’ new movie starring Uday Chopra and Priyanka Chopra. Its a romantic comedy and is positioned as ” 1 beauty + 1 geek = PI ( Pyaar Impossible)”. Back to men from mars and women from venus concept! Guys, can we please have something new!

Anyway, Uday plays Abhay, a geeky guy and Priyanka plays Alisha. The film is directed by Jugal Hansraj and will have music by Salim-Suleiman. And here is the WTF info of the film – the film is written by UDAY CHOPRA! Yey, we are not joking! 

For more details, here is the website link – www.pyaarimpossible.in . The website has an introduction by Uday Chopra, video blog by Jugal Hansraj on the first day of shoot and some pics of the film’s muhurat. The look of the leading actors of the film has not been revealed yet. Nothing impressive so far!

srk-chak-deIts still not all well between Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. They just pretend, afterall they are good actors. 

If gossipmongers are to be believed, Shah Rukh Khan will not be attending the forthcoming India International Film Academy (IIFA) Awards, of which Bachchan is the brand ambassador.

Since the last few years, the Wizcraft guys (organisers of IIFA Awards) have been trying their luck to get Shah Rukh Khan attend the awards.  But Shah Rukh has skipped it every year, for some reason or the other. And this year, its the same story.

Afterall, we arent the only one who think IIFA stands for India International Film Awards of Amitabh & Abhishek Bachchan.

The Mozart of Madras might be busy with his numerous international projects, but on the election d-day A R Rahman came out of his home early morning to cast his vote. The Oscar winner cast his vote at 7:30 am. His polling station was at the MGR school in Kodambakkam, Chennai.

And guess who missed it, Kamal Hassan. Because his name was missing from the voters list. So, now will Kamal put this issue in the tamil remake of A Wednesday ?

First came out the pics and now the video. Dev Patel and Freida Pinto were spotted together in Tel Aviv. Though the Slumdog Millionaire actors have denied any link ups but it seems they are a couple now. Freida is shooting for Julian Schnabe’s film Miral currently.

If you missed the pics, here is the link.

sallu girlfreind - claudiaHe is not only known for his phirang accent. But Salman Khan loves everything  that got a bit of firangi touch. Look at Katrina Kaif, she   still cant manage a single line in hindi, but is one of the top rated heroines today. Well, it helps to have a friend like Salman Khan.

And according to Mid-day, Salman Khan has a new friend, whom he is helping in her acting career. The friend is Claudia Ciesla, a german supermodel.

And who is this Claudia ?

Well, she began modelling at 15. At 17, she moved to Germany from Poland and became an Internet glamour model. The German newspaper Bild arranged an examination of Ciesla by a plastic surgeon and reported, that her breasts (size: 38DD) were entirely natural. She is currently pursuing an acting career in Bollywood.

 With Sallu’s help, we are sure she can beat Katrina anyday. It all depends on Sallu bhai’s mood and lil bit of luck. Thats it!

kites1Its one of the most awaited film of the year. Anurag Basu’s Kites. Produced by papa Rakesh Roshan and starring beta Hrithik Roshan with Barabara Mori and Kangana Ranaut. Every small detail about the film has been kept under wraps.

Indiafm has published the synopsis of the film. Incase you have missed it, here it is.

In the harsh terrain of the Mexican desert, a mortally wounded man is left for dead in the heat of the desert sun. This is J (Hrithik Roshan) – once a street smart, carefree young guy and now a wanted man. As death looms, the only thing that keeps him alive is the quest to find the love of his life, Natasha (Barbara Mori). A woman, betrothed to another man, surely destined for J. A woman, who comes into his life like a bolt of lightning, and changes his life forever.

Love is a moment. The moment J and Natasha saw each other, words were not necessary. In that moment, they knew instantly that they belonged together. But, something went wrong. The ensuing fight of the two lovers results in a deadly chase. J battles death but nothing can prepare him for what he is about to discover.

Kites is a story of love that goes beyond barriers, boundaries and cultures. It is a story of passion that defies every rule, of a relationship which takes two lovers on a journey that is filled with violence and death, of precious moments that are unforgettable. Finally it is a story of betrayal that is beyond comprehension.

ram-gopal-varmaControversy’s child Ramu doesnt want to sit silent. After Censor Board banned his jana gana rann promo of the new film Rann, Ramu has now decided to move to High Court to appeal againt the ban.

The film stars Amitabh Bachchan,  Ritesh  Deshmukh, Sujeet and Paresh Rawal in the lead. 

Here is Ramu’s letter about the ban and his plan to move to High Court.

The Censor Board has decided to refuse to certify ‘Jana Gana Rann’ for Public Viewing.

The Censor Board order alleges that the promo violates guidelines 2(xix) of Section 5B2 of the Cinematograph Act 1952 and also constitutes an offence under The Insult to National Honours Act, 1971.

 This action of the Censor Board is arbitary and unconstitutional. Guideline 2(xix) of the Section 5B2 of the Cinematograph Act 1952 says :

“national symbols and emblems are  not shown except in accordance with the provisions of the Emblems and Names (Prevention of Improper Use), Act 1950.”

 According to this interpretation by the Censor Board, no Indian Film can show the Tricolor, Rashtrapati Bhavan or the Parliament House. And, if the Censor Board did take that position, they could ask us for relevant cuts in the promo. In the whole promo of  2 mins and 10 secs there are two shots of the same for exactly 8 seconds.

The Second objection raised by the Censor Board is The Insult to National Honor Act amended in 2003. The relevant section (Section 3) states as under:

 “3. Prevention of singing of Indian National Anthem, etc.

Whoever intentionally prevents the singing of the Indian National Anthem or causes disturbance to any assembly engaged in such singing shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both.”

The act relates to preventing the singing of the National Anthem in public or causing disturbance to any assembly. In this case there is no such violation.

Article 19 guarantees freedom of speech and expression and freedom of trade amongst others fundamental rights. Every citizen has the right to freely express and freely carry the trade unless it is contrary to the peace and integrity of the country. By denying me the right to release this promo to the public at large, the Censor Board is violating my fundamental right.

i didnt. I have never done. Its Mothers Day. Its all over the place.

Do you feel guilty ? I dont. I never do. I dont even remember her birthday. I dont bother. Like a true anti-family anti-social guy, i never cared much about birthdays of my siblings,parents and relatives. They all know. They dont feel bad now when i dont wish them on their birthdays. I dont even like celebrating my birthday. Wish everyone could erase that day from their diary. Reason ? Just like that. Are there are more like me ? or am i the only one ?

If you want to know more about how and why of Mother’s Day, here is the wikipedia link. And if you want to know more about Ana Jarvis, who took the intiative for celebrating Mother’s Day and how it became one more holiday, here is the wikipedia link. 

And if you are just a selfish inglorious bastard like me, here are two songs for the d-day, enjoy. Mother’s Day is just another excuse. One is mumma from Dasvidaniya, sung and composed by Kailash Kher. The other is from Rang De Basanti. Luka chhupi, sung by Lata Mangeshkar and A R Rahman. Music – A R Rahman.

piyush_pandeysays Piyush Pandey, Executive Chairman & NCD, India and South Asia, O & M.

This is in reply to music composer Vishal Dadlani’s blog rant where he linked zoozoo with voting pattern in Mumbai. He also criticised the Zoozoos saying they are irritaing gay mice. If you havent read it yet, here it is.

Piyush Pandey’s reply is published in today’s Sunday Mid-day. Here it is…

I am ashamed that he lives in Mumbai and yet he  is ashamed of Mumbai.

I hope he doesnt have children otherwise they would be very hurt because he wants to break the necks of all Barbie dolls…rathr insensitive, dont you think ?

If he believes I am writing this letter because I am involved with zoozoo, he’s sadly mistaken. Because yes, Zoozoo are loved by everyone else but him. And if he is so insensitive to the world around, then he should change his name from Vishal Dadlani to Vishal Dudlani.

Well, Vishal asked for it. Because liking or disliking the Zoozoo is fine but he linked up two completely different issues. Is Dadlani or Dudlani going to reply to Piyush now ?
