Salman Khan takes off his shirt on Dus Ka Dum

Salman has been having Bollywood stars over at every episode of the Dus Ka Dum. With the entire film’s star cast there for promoting the upcoming film it sure is something to look forward to for the audience. With the David Dhawan directed “Do Knot Disturb” releasing on the 2nd of October, the stars and the director David Dhawan are leaving no stones unturned for generating some interest. It is a comeback film for the director David Dhawan after a very long gap. The film stars Govinda, Sushmita Sen, Lara Dutta, Riteish Deshmukh and Sohail Khan. The film is a comedy that has a businessman trying to cover up his extra marital affair and then the drama follows. Looks like the usual masala flick from Bollywood where there is really no story but then things go on and on and finally all the loose ends are tied together to announce “The End”.

Coming back to Salman’s show on television “Dus Ka Dum”, the crew got Salman to take off his short on the show. Salman is known for taking off his shirt at just the drop of a hat, but this is the first time on television and the audience surely had a great time. The show was a fun filled one with the stars shaking a leg to a number and the usual Dhamaal that you can expect when you bring David Dhawan and Govinda together.

Dil Bole Hadippa – the movie review

After all the hype that was created, Dil Bole Hadippa and Wanted were finally here this weekend. What is the result of all the media hype and promotion that the stars worked so hard on? Decided to check out Dil Bole Hadippa this weekend (Wanted I was sure is one I couldn’t sit through).

Dil Bole Hadippa although I knew was a total masala flick decided to take the plunge coz Rani is one of my favorites and yes, a long weekend so a family outing. My daughter being the wide-eyed Bollywood wonder, sat through very patiently and happily in fact with her bag of popcorn and coke, however, hubby dear did find it really really tough to sit through the 3 long hours that didn't seem to end. A Sunday afternoon and the theatres was more empty than full, this spoke volumes for the film's success anyway.

Dil Bole Hadippa with all the hype that was created over a cricket film and Rani playing a Sardar was totally lacklustre, in fact, would prefer to call it a complete directorial disaster. With a very weak plot, the director too totally lost focus (that is if he did have it from the beginning). The confusion was evident in the film. The director was not sure on which lines to take the film …whether it was to be cricket, the Indo-Pak friendship or female emancipation. And really don’t know what Rakhi Sawant and Sherlyn Chopra were doing out there in their skimpy outfits. As for Shahid Kapoor too, after Kaminey, a lot more was expected of him and the actor too failed to rise to the expectations. The songs were average and every now and then just popped out of nowhere (it was more like, there were some more bits of the puzzle left after the entire thing was put together and it just had to be put in …somewhere…just to prove a point). The film would not even qualify for an OK and coming from the Yash banner it was yet another disaster. They seriously need to look at the kind of films they have been putting together lately.

Felt a little bad at the end of the film coz so much money and effort goes into something that is a total failure…but guess that’s what the box office is all about… and we soon leave Rani behind and look forward to Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja’s “What’s Your Raashee?” (where she plays 12 different roles) that is releasing this Friday, the 25th of September 2009.

Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif to launch own website

Bollywood seems to have fallen in love with the reach that the internet offers. It would definitely be a great way for the stars to reach out directly to their fans, promoting their films, being accessible and above all clearing any misunderstandings created by the media. Guess having an official website or blog is the best way that stars have found to keep in touch with fans and talk to them directly. With the fan following that they have, the blog or the website would soon have thousands and lakhs of people logging in. Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan are the names that come to your mind instantly when you think of stars blogging, They are very regular at the site. In fact, Aamir was recently away on a vacation with Kiran leaving behind their mobile phones, however, he did keep in touch with his fans through the blog and kept them posted about the happenings.

The news has it that the latest to join the bandwagon of Bollywood stars on the net are going to be none other than Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif. Both are working towards getting their own websites launched very soon. It is reported that Katrina is also having a photoshoot done to add in new photos for the fans visiting her site. With Katrina Kaif being the most googled Bollywood star, getting traffic for her site is surely not a problem at all. Hope to see the beautiful Bollywood queens ruling the internet soon.

Wanted and Dil Bole Hadippa to release on the same date

Today being Friday, the first thing most Bollywood fans would have done was to go through the papers for the releases this week. However, disappointment is all that the fans have with just one release today “Aamras”. All those who haven’t still caught up on “Love Aaj Kal” and “Kaminey” probably this is the week to do it, for next week you have two blockbusters fighting it out at the box office.
Next Friday , Sep 18th has Salman Khan and Ayesha Takia starrer “Wanted” releasing along with the Rani Mukherjee and Shahid Kapoor film “Dil Bole Hadippa”.


“Wanted” is an action film from Sahara One Motion Pictures and Surinder Kapoor films Enterprises banner. Produced by Boney Kapoor and directed by the dancer-actor turned director Prabhu Deva. The star cast includes Salman Khan playing “Radhe”, Ayesha Takia as “Jhanvi” and the others include Mahesh Manjrekar, Vinod Khanna, Sajid, Asseem Merchant and Anil Kapoor in a special appearance. The music is by Sajid Wajid. Rumors are that Salman was so impressed watching “Wanted” that he has asked Boney Kapoor to start another film with him. The film will most probably be directed by Boney Kapoor’s son. Salman hope all your expectation from the film come true.

“Dil Bole Hadippa” on the other hand, is a Yash Banner presentation, produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Anurag Singh. The film is going to be a comeback film for Rani Mukherjee after a long back. She looks great with all the weight loss and a total makeover. The film has her playing a double role – Veer and Veera. Rani playing a girl and a Sardar boy is paired with Shahid Kapoor in the film. With expectation really high and the film being very important for both Rani and the Yash Raj banner, the fans sure are looking forward to this with all the hype that has been created.

So which one are you going to watch next weekend?
