With the mulitiplex-producers strike over, the publicity and promotions of new releases has started in full swing. Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal starring Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone is up for release soon. Here are some new pics from the film.
For Love Aaj Kal’s plot/story/synopsis, click here. And for the first promo/trailer of Love Aaj Kal, click here.
For Kangna Ranaut fans, here is a good news and a bad one.
First the good news. Kangna’s oficial website is finally up and running. The address is www.realkangnaranaut.com/. Kangna has started her blog also and plans to interact with her fans directly through the blog.
Now the bad news : Kangna Ranaut has split from her boyfriend Adhyayan Suman. The reasons, too many. The young actors want to focus on their respective careers. Adhyayan’s closeness to Shahana Goswami. Adhyayan’s dad Shekhar Suman never approved of Kangna. And both of them are not getting enough time for each other. So they met, discussed and parted ways. Old is out, young is over, what’s next Kangna ?
There are days when we dont feel like getting out of bed. Because from bed we get down to the floor and ROFL!! It was one such morning. And the credit goes to Guptaji.
Sanjay Gupta is married now (Its not funny). Oops remarried(Thats also not funny). To his ex-wife Anu Lekhi (This is WTF moment!). Wondering why ? Because Guptaji has a roving eye, had quite a number of flings and suddenly he felt like becoming one-woman-man!
Times of India has more deatils about his remarriage…how,when,why and where. You can read the full article here.
To quote him from a recent interview….
As for the rest of the women, just as I’ve left my days of adapting foreign DVDs behind, I’ve also left the Reddys behind.
Guptaji, we are not sure about the Reddys but let Alibaug release and we will get the original dvd out of closet!
Its not actually a new composition by A R Rahman. But its based on the music of Aazaadi song from Bose, the film directed by Shyam Benegal. BSF is Border Security Force (Seema Suraksha Bal) incase you GQ is really low. They could have surely done a better job with the video. Enjoy!
….we think so! Because not many can claim to die at the pleasure point! We know one person who will surely endorse our view. Ram Gopal Verma. Now why we are talking death and sex on a cinema blog ?
If you are still not aware, its because actor David Carradine is dead. David, the dude from Kill Bill. The cause of death – sex act gone horribly wrong. His dead body was found in the closet of a luxury hotel room in Bangkok, with a rope tied to his neck and genitals. Gossipmongers suggests its called auto-erotic asphyxiation, a practice designed to boost sexual pleasure. You can read more about his death here.
The actor was in Thailand to shoot a film called Stretch. Blame it on our sick sense of humour, but why would you stretch yourself so much for sex ? On second thoughts, its fine to do so but not in auto-mode sex!And complete no-no if you happen to be Bangkok where its dirt cheap.
We are the last guys to talk moral issues but we could not stop ourself from wondering why would David do it if he was…
1. In Bangkok. Just shout out and you will get sex.
2. He was 72! Not the right age to expriment.
3. He was married five times! And still nobody with him.
Who would have thought BILL would KILL himself and in such a shocking way! RIP!
Though numerology sounds a big joke to us but if given a chance, we would like to change RGV’s name. From Ram Gopal Varma to Ram Gimmick Varma. Because the man is always upto some gimmick. And here is the new one.
His last gimmick for Phoonk worked out well, giving him the much needed hit. Though many questions regarding the Phoonk contest were left unanswered. It was the same with Darna Zaroori Hai contest.
This time its about Agyaat. Before he scares you, he is asking you to scare him. Its a contest to promote the film. You can shoot a short film and upload it on Agyaat’s website. If it manages to shock or scare him, you will get a chance to make a horror film for UTV and Ramu.
Its just an announcement so far. We are waiting for the exact details. How, when, where, dates….will post it soon. But knowing his past record, we will trust the “Agyaat” but not RGV!
It seems to be a lucky day for cinema maniacs like us. We were surprised to find the script of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s new film Guzaarish in our mailbox. Yes, yes!! Thank you, whoever did the good deed of the day! (if you got anything to share, do remember to mail us at moifightclub@gmail.com).
We will reserve our comments on the script for the script review post later on. But as we read the script, we were trying to imagine the visuals, and all we could see was three films – Charulata, The Painted Veil and The Sea Inside.
We are starting a new feature – CYCQ – Check your CQ (Cinema Quotient)! If Guzaarish is Charulata meets The Painted Veil meets The Sea Inside, see if you can crack the story. Do sprinkle some ‘magic’ in the plot.
The film stars Hrithik Roshan, Aishwarya Rai and newcomer Aditya Bal. Mail us or comment here!
….For Rajiv Menon’s new film Dhun starring Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai.
Its a film in which music plays an important role as both the lead actors play the role of musicians. And the story is about how their professional lives affect their personal relationship. Post-Slumdog Millionaire, Rahman is overloaded with work and too busy with his international projects. Menon had two options – either to wait or go for a new music director.
Rajiv Menon is now talking to Vishal-Shekhar for the same film. Menon is in Mumbai now and have met the music director duo .
Try these three steps if you are in desperate need for some cash.
First – Pick up any recent issue of Filmfare.
2nd – Lets put the bet. You say – Filmfare sucks!
3rd – Open the magazine. You will win!
Because week after week, they suck! And they are getting better at sucking upto the stars. The recent issue is a fashion special (ROFL, do they know the meaning of “special”? ) and they prove it again. It got nothing except the great cover pic ( Imran Khan & Sonam Kapoor). DONT buy and waste your money. Trust us!
And here goes our dissection ( not specific to this issue) –
Editorial – Jitesh Pillai’s editorial should get the Razzies immediately, if there is any such award for editorial piece! He still sound like a star-stuck kid, and issue after issue he has the same thing to say….how much hard work they have put in the current copy! His editorial sounds more like a press release issued by some star’s publicist. Dude, go watch some “cinema”, look beyond the stars, stop sucking them for a while and if nothing works out, get a job as some star’s secretary. Your sucking up will help you for sure. .
Gossip – they serve old thakela goss. Read Mid-day and Mumbai Mirror instead and you get the best gossip every morning. Why wait for 2 weeks and pay more! Just for the gloss. Naah, doesnt make sense
Cover Story – Their covers are only A-list stars. There are hardly 20 A-list stars. And Filmfare has to do 24 covers in a year. They repeat, its d same shitty cycle – SRK, Aamir, Kareena, Saif, Bachchan and the same set of boring oooh-di-la-lah questions with equally boring answers! What are you eating, have you lost or gained weight, what are you shooting, nothing beyond that.
Interviews – They got the worst team of writers. Its a serious competition out there, who can write the worst piece. Since last few issues they are trying to have a more personal approach but nothing adds up to the drab copy. Do they even have copy editors ?
Sneak Peek – Here they still score some points, sometimes. May be, once in two months. Because they have one thing for sure. Access to the stars.
Features – Not a single damn bright idea! You wonder if the smooth glossy paper will make your arse feel better if you can use it for toilet paper!
Trend stories – They are the last one to spot the trends, after its been done to death in newspapers,magazine and tv channels.
Photo feature – Yes, they get the biggies here and some great pics too. But whoever writes the text with those pics, needs to be fired! Now!
Shatrughan Sinha’s Q n A – Is there anything new there ? Ramu’s blogs and his answers are more entertaining. And you dont have to pay for reading blogs.
Last piece – Jitesh, you dont have to do it again! Front and back. Just do it once dude. Or you like it both ways ? Its anyway fuckall, we can do without the bad aftertaste of the concluding piece.
And if you dont agree, just pick up the recent fashion special issue of Filmfare and tell us if you think there is any bright idea there. We will surrender. One page pic, one page of shitty writing, the magazine is full of it. There is nothing that you dont know or havent read. They havent tried anything new. New feature, new way of presenting, new text, nothing!
For all you Filmfare fuckall fellas, here is something tht you must die. Go and check out the latest issue of Empire Magazine, the 20th anniversay special. Its a cover to die for! And you will get what we mean by the “big idea”! Magazine ho to waisa ho, warna na ho!
And oh yeh, we got money from Cineblitz and Stardust to write this nasty piece on Filmfare! Atleast they are honest, they dont suck upto anyone!
