We had no clue about this film. Who made it, when, where, why and how! Found this promo while surfing the blogosphere. And it looks damn interesting. Starring Vinay Pathak, Mahie Gill, Sourabh Shukla and Mona Singh, its directed by Srikant Velagaleti. Shot on a budget of 4 crore….its the indie gang!

It was D-day yesterday. Not sure what adjective should we use for the man called Guru Dutt. Asked the magician we know, to look into his treasure box and gift us something. So, here it is. ..Kitna rangeen hai ye chaand sitaaron ka samaa….Guru Dutt and Sadhna in an unreleased film called Picnic. It was shelved due to Gurudutt’s death.

BTW, our magician’s name is Pavan Jha and you can follow him on twitter here.

Madam Mahalingam has been missing in action since some time in Bollywood.  Why ? Because she is busy in Hollywood. Or what she believes is Hollywood. She keeps on tweeting every possible pic that she clicks when she meets any lil’ known face in Hollywood. And there is no news of her so called Hollywood debut Hisss yet!

Anyway, the first teaser trailer of her new film Politics Of Love ( or Love, Barack ) is out. Take a look and yawwwwn!

BTW, it seems the only thing she has gained so far is a fake accent. Click here and enjoy!

And if you are still interested, here is the official synopsis of the film….

The world’s hottest election just got much hotter… Politics has never been this sexy… She was swift-boated by sex-tape! – Politics makes strange bedfellows, but never stranger than when, a month before the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, Kyle Franklin, a sexy, savvy, African American conservative falls for his Democrat counterpart, Aretha Gupta, a beautiful, idealistic local Obama volunteer coordinator. Sparks fly, tempers flares, heads turn, and romance blossoms for this mismatched pair of campaigners in the frantic and intoxicating days leading up to Election Day. Can the politics of love conquer all?

Starring Loretta Devine (Crash, Dreamgirls), legendary Oscar nominee Ruby Dee, Brian White (Stomp the Yard, Tyler Perry’s I Can Do Bad…), Gerry Bednob (40 Yr Old Virgin) and Bollywood star Mallika Sherawat (Hisss, Murder).

The theatrical trailer of Pradeep Sarkar’s new film Lafangey Parindey is out. It stars Neil Nitin Mukesh and Deepika Padukone. Produced by Aditya Chopra (Yashraj Films), its written by Gopi Puthran, has music by R Anandh (the limca jingle is also by him) and lyrics by Swanand Kirkire.

He was born to fight…she was born to fly….where are we heading, Dada ? They will fly & fight together!  Deepika delivering tapori dialogues sounds incredibly funny! A Bambaiyya blind babe ??!! And somehow, it doesn’t feel, look or sound like a Pradeep Sarkar film. May be he is trying to do something new. Anyway, Check it out.

We are back! Yes, we know you guys missed us a lot. But what to do, we were busy with life. A separate post coming up soon on matters of life and more.

Sudhir Mishra is ready with his new film, starring Irrfan Khan, Chitrangada Singh and Arunoday Singh. Woohoo! Set in Delhi, its written by Manu Rishi. Though we dont know much about the story of the film yet but it seems to be on the lines of Mishra’s Iss Raat Ki Subah Nahi.

But Mishra is confused on the title front. The film was earlier titled Dil dar-ba-dar or DDBD! But it seems, by popular demand now the title might be changed to Yeh Saali Zindagi. Wondering why ? Because…

Zindagi pe tera mera kisi ka na zor hai…

hum sochte kuch aur hai….woh saali sochti kuch aur hai….

yeh saali zindagi…yeh saali zindagi…..

Yes, that’s the lyrics of the title song of the film. Its by Swanand Kirkire and music is by Shantanu Moitra. Sudhir has also released a small clip from the film to give you a feel of the film. Do watch and help him decide, whats better – Dil Dar-ba-dar or Yeh Saali Zindagi ?

Our vote goes for DDBD! Plus it seems like an ode to the cult classic Om Dar-ba-dar. If you haven’t seen it yet, you seriously have missed something. But then, Yeh Saali Zindagi seems catchy too, and if the duo Swanand-Shantanu has delivered a tkiller title track like Khoya Khoya Chand again, then YSZ would be damn good! Aha, we are also getting confused. Why blame only poor Sudhir Mishra for getting in that confused state! Plus any buzz for an indie film is always good!

Finally! After juggling boyfriends right, left and centre & how, (some we have witnessed too and thats for another day), Manisha Koirala (41) tied the knot with Samrat Dahal. And its back to her roots! Samrat (34) is also from Nepal. But who is this Samrat ? Click here to read more about him and his family. Check out the pics in the slide show. Wishing her all the best!

Blame us for connecting the dots, but are we the only one to spot this strange coincidence –  Manisha Koirala gets married, Arvind Swamy getting divorced after sixteen years of marriage and Mani Ratnam is getting butchered by everyone. Aha, life! The trio who gave us that gorgeous Bombay. Those were the days, the days of raging hormones and then Mani gave us that famous “Bombay run” by Koirala! So, here it is…to good ol’ days…

Also, the way Vidhu Vinod Chopra shot her in 1942 – A Love Story, our heart skipped million beats! Its difficult to imagine what all she could have done with her career and what she did! Now, that deserves a lonnnng post. Till then…kuch na kaho

After much countdown, the first theatrical trailer of Aisha is out. Its directed by Rajshree Ojha, produced by Anil Kapoor and PVR Pictures. Music Director is Amit Trivedi and stars Sonam Kapoor, Abhay Deol, Ira Dubey, Arunoday Singh, Cyrus Shahukar, Lisa Haydon and Amrita Puri. Written by Devika Bhagat, its based on Jane Austen’s novel Emma. Have a look and don’t forget to leave your comments.

And here is the official synopsis of the film…

Aisha is a girl with a simple diktat – everyone’s business is her business. Arjun is a boy with even a simpler set of beliefs – Aisha should mind her own business. Caught in the Delhi upper class world with its own set of social rules, Aisha navigates her world with a great sense of style and even greater optimism. Caught in her web are her best friend Pinky, the small town girl Shefali, the west Delhi boy Randhir and the hunk Dhruv. Aisha will make sure everyone dances to her tune. And all Arjun wants to do is disentangle that web and get Aisha out of an impending sticky mess. Who will succeed and who will succumb? Welcome to Aisha’s fabulous world where playing cupid is as easy as 123…if only that Arjun would stay out of her way!

Time to leave your brains at home, again! At the rate at which Priyadarshan makes movies, we are thinking of opening a brain deposit counter. Might be a good business idea. What say ?

Anyway, the two maha-duds have come together again. And its called Khatta Meetha, directed by Priyadarshan and stars Akshay Kumar. Is it a remake again ? Don’t care much but if someone knows, do enlighten us. Here is the first teaser trailer of the film.

The first trailer of Vikramaditya Motwane’s Udaan is out. And its pitch perfect. The trailer exactly tells what the movie is all about.

And now the problem! Why is the text in the trailer straight lift from one of our favourite trailers of last year – Where The Wild Things Are! If you dont believe us, just play the video. Inside all of us is HOPE. Inside all of us is Fear. Even the way it comes on screen, is the same. After Cannes, we had to see this ? Can any soul enlighten us ? Who cut this trailer ? Someone surely is Un-certain of few things! Beware!

For our review of Udaan, poster, pics, synopsis and all the jazz from Cannes, click on this post and follow the links given in the post.

Grow up guys! And if you don’t know the trick, then the best way is to watch Kate Winslet’s movies.  We just love her! Anyway, here is the tv commercial. It was shot for Newyork Lotto, way back in 2000 and stars Bipasha Basu and Vivek Oberoi. Click on the play button to know if its really a big issue.No pun intended.

We don’t think so, but we got so many requests in our mailbox, we thought its better to put the TVC here than to reply to each post. It seems a body double was also used for her. But then there are close-up shots of hers. And it all looks fake too!

So, what ? During the initial days everyone is willing to go that extra distance. Rewind back to the initial days of  most Hollywood superstars, you will be surprised and if you are not aware of it, your jaws are gonna drop and how! Don’t hurt yourself much while googling. Now, they are many paid sites which will offer exactly what you are looking for. 😉
