The theatrical trailer of Mira Nair’s new film Amelia is out. It stars Hilary Swank, Richard Gere & Ewon McGregor.
Amelia is based on the life of legendary American pilot Amelia Earhart. She disappeared while flying over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to make a flight around the world. For wiki link on her, click here.
But filmmakers ko mangta hai toh mangta hai! Sanju Baba or Sanjay Dutt. The old haggard actor, the beefy body which has turned into a booby body now is still here. The style n tantrum quotient is still high. Or he likes to believe so. But we dont see that turning into ticket sales. Not sure why the producers and directors still queue up for him. So what was his last hit film ? Hmmm…ahhh…nooooo….leave it!
Coming back to the topic. Check out the three promotional videos featuring Sanjay Dutt. From Soham Shah’s Luck (aazma song), EMI and C KKompany. Tells us whats common in all three videos.
Got it ? Its Sanjay Dutt’s dance steps. The great footwork of Sanjay Dutt is the same in all three videos.
He doesn’t move. Its the chair or the king size sofa! Imagine this. The choregrapher has to choreograph a song with Sanjay Dutt. The poor soul must be trying to figure out how to move the chair/sofa, in which direction to move it, to make Dutt look cool. Since Baba can’t dance, he sits on the chair/sofa, stares into the camera & just poses. The chair/sofa is put on a moving stage and is moved with the overweight Baba on it. And he charges a bomb for this. Plus the tantrums. Sitting and posing on a chair was never so expensive.
To make sure that it doesnt look boring, throw in some foreign extras in skimpy clothes and its done. Enjoy the videos.
But the big question is where the hell is Mallika Sherawat ? The motor mouth siren who hit the headlines with bold statements has vanished from Bollywood these days. Hissss is the new ssshhh in her life. It seems she is in Los Angeles, trying her luck in Hollywood and is busy with her new film Hissss in which she plays an icchadahri naagin! Wooh!
And the dare bare actress is smart enough to keep herself in the news and make the right buzz. She was spotted with musician Yanni and well known music composer Ric Wake recently at Ivy Restaurant, Los Angeles. And if rumours are to be believed she is in serious discussions with Yanni and Ric as she wants to perform a snake dance during his next concert in India.
We wonder if Yanni will play the naagin dhun for Mallika Hissss Sherawat to dance ? If nothing else, she is hitting the right notes atleast.
BTW, Hissss is directed by Jennifer Lynch, daughter of David Lynch. And the cluless bald man with Mallika is Govind Menon ( of Khwahish, Kis Kiski Kismat and Bachke Rehna Re Baba shame)
There are four pics and a video of Mallika Sherawat with Yanni and Ric Wake. Check them out.

The naagin dhun is back and how! We are loving it! Here’s the new song from Imtiaz Ali’s new film Love Aaj Kal. Its called twist. The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Rishi Kapoor. Enjoy!
Vodpod videos no longer available.
The theatrical trailer of Imran Khan’s new film Luck is out. The film is directed by Soham Shah. It also stars Sanjay Dutt, Shruti Hassan ( debut film), Mithun Chakraborty, Danny Denzongpa and Ravi Kissen. Take a look.
And what we think about Luck, click here to know. Why we are shouting “plagiarism” again! We got all the details of the films from which Luck is copied
BTW, we are suffering from mixed emotions these days. Happy and sad. Why ? Because a popular movie blog is not only copy-pasting our content but even copying our style!
Accused of plagiarism! And according to news reports, the music composer has hit the half century mark on plagiarism charts with this song. After West, the current trend is to look east for inspiration and Pritam does the same. The song in question is Hai Junoon from Kabir Khan’s New York. Its plagiarised from a song called Naluri Lelaki by an Indonesian band Samsons. Check out the two songs and see if you think the same.
There is an interesting twist in the tale too. It seems singer-composer Pankaj Awasthi revealed the same in the youtube link of the original song by posting a comment there as Awasthiji. But later on the comment was removed “by the author”. Itwofs.com has a screenshot of the page before it was removed. You can check it here.
Pankaj Awasthi is credited as music composer for one song in New York, Aye Saaye Mere. It surely was a brave step on Pankaj’s part to come out and put the comment but then why remove it ?! Was it because of Yashraj Films or Pritam ? We love and respect Pankaj Awasthi’s music, much more than Pritam’s or Yashraj’s, and hope that he gets a fair deal without being threatend for being honest and candid.
Bhandarkarism is back! The theatrical trailer of Madhu Bhandarkar’s new film Jail is out. The film stars Neil Nitin Mukesh and Mugdha Godse. Manoj Bajpai is the surprise element in the promo and we are happy to see him.

The film is making headlines because of a nude scene of Neil Nitin Mukesh. You can read more about it here and here. And to read the story/plot/synopsis of Jail, click here.
Here are some new pics of Aishwarya Rai, from her upcoming film Robot. She stars with Rajnikanth in the film.
Do check out the link after the text, has a hilarious audio clip from Rajeev Masand’s review show Now Showing, where he is talking to Aishwarya Rai on the phone. Its a must watch! And there is a quiz too. Since we could not post the video here, click on the link.
We could not connect the two. The film New York and its peppy promotional video Hai Junoon. The film is set in New York post 9/11 and the video makes it look like rom-com-buddy-film kind. The film is directed by Kabir Khan, produced by Yashraj Films and stars John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Katrina Kaif.
Here is the video of the song Hai Junoon. Though we havent heard the original one, this one is remix version. Music is by Pritam, lyrics by Sandeep Shrivastava and the singer is KK. The music is out in the market now. Enjoy!
