Shahrukh Khan now “Datuk Shahrukh Khan”

This weekend saw Shahrukh flying into Malaysia to receive the coveted title of the “Datuk”. The title is similar to the knighthood of Britain. It is indeed a great honor and SRK is the first Indian actor to receive it. SRK wore the traditional Malaysian dress and all dressed smartly in black and gold made a grand entry to receive to. The fans definitely were floored to see their favorite actor. There were 76 others who received the title and Shahrukh made it a point to acknowledge the presence of his fans. A star in all respects.

The Malacca authorities said “Khan was given the title because some of his movies had been shot in the historical state boosting tourism”. Shahrukh Khan, many other Bollywood and popular Tamil actors are very popular in the land considering its huge ethnic population. Shahrukh has an injured arm as a result of an accident on one of the locations however, this did not in anyway restrict him for being the friendly star he is. He even took a rickshaw ride through Malacca. However, there are quite a few people who are definitely not happy with the decision and there is a big controversy going on as regards why SRK has been chosen for the title.

Glimpses of "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi"

Here's bringing for you a few glimpses of the forthcoming Yash Raj attraction, starring Shahrukh Khan and newcomer Anushka Sharma. The film has got Aditya Chopra behind the camera after a long break of seven years. This is going to be Shahrukh's first major release of the year after a guest appearance in "Bhoothnath".


The film has decided to ban a Pakistan release for now going by the present crisis between the two countries. Mahesh Bhatt who was responsible for taking Bollywood films to Pakistan says "Terrorism affects everything. It will definitely create a major setback in the Indo-Pakistan relationship. I guess both countries should behave responsibly and deal with terrorism. But for the time being, we should let things fall in place. When these issues are resolved, we can get back to working together. Right now, we have a larger issue to deal with. Whether the film releases simultaneously or not, piracy is and will always be a major issue around. We have to take steps to curb that first".

The Clash of the Titans at the Box Ofiice

It is going to be a show of sorts at the box office this month with the Clash of the Titans. The month is going to be a real treat for the Bolly fans…what with Shahrukh coming with the Yash Raj banner release on the 12 of December “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi”. Following him is Aamir with Ghajini the much awaited release of Aamir this year. Then we also have the animated film “Jumbo” where Akshay has lend his voice and also has a major stake. The cine goers are going to be in for some action this festive season.

“Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” said to be a love story of a different kind looks like a soft romantic love story with the typical Yash Raj stamp. This sure is going to appeal to the family audience. When on the other hand, Ghajini is a mixture of the hard and the soft, love and violence, it looks like a thing for the serious movie fans. The AR Rahman music has still not managed to create the usual magic.

Both films have fresh new faces opposite the Khans. “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” has the newcomer Anushka opposite SRK and in “Ghajini” the south sensation Asin makes her debut into Bollywood. Yash Raj banner is sure keeping their fingers crossed with a string of films that didn’t do well at the box office. Will the Yash Rah magic work this time or does the year belong to “Aamir”. With just a few days to go the Bollywood fans definitely have lots to look forward to.

ShahRukh Khan in “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi”

We sure are enjoying the soft melodious number “Haule Haule Ho Jayega Pyar”, the first of his film “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” Aditya Chopra film starring Shahrukh Khan and newcomer Anushka Sharma is all set for release this December. The movie looks rather different from the usual. Of course has to meet the boy meets girl drama, however, when it comes from the Yash banner it is different.

ShahRukh Khan however, I feel needs to put on a few kilos as there are cuts that have come on his face too. After the six-pack look for “Om Shanti Om” he has definitely overdone it for the cuts are no longer restricted to his abdomen alone. He needs to thin fast and get into some action soon regarding his weight before its too late.

The first promos of the film is to be released in theatres alongwith the Yash Raj banner distributed film “Dostana”. Marketing strategies these days are truly great. Our film makers sure have learnt a few good lessons in marketing. They have learnt to unfold the suspense little by little keeping the audience waiting for more. Aamir Khan of course, is surely the “Guru” in this field.

Coming back to the film “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” , it is written and directed by Aditya Chopra. The music for the film is by Salim-Sulaiman and lyricsby Jaideep Sahni. The film has choreography by none other than Shiamak Davar and Vaibhavi Merchant. After the November release of “Dostana”, cine fans sure have something to look forward to in December too.

ShahRukh Khan turns 43

Happy Birthday Shahrukh is what I would love to say now. wishing my favorite star all the good things and all the best for all his future ventures. A super duper hero I do admire.

A self-made man that is the exact term that fits him. Coming to the Bollywood industry at a time when surnames made all the difference, Shahrukh proved that if you believe in it you can make it happen."What's in a name after all". From a young boy making a start from the television screen with serials like "circus" and "Fauji" he has worked real hard to be the King Khan of Bollywood. From a totally unknown name and face today just "SRK" says it all. A huge list of movies, personal achievements, successful business moves and millions of fans later Shah Rukh celebrates his 43rd brithday today on the 02nd of November 2008.

Shah Rukh surely is a super hero. what I like best about him is his zest and passion to do things. He keeps re-inventing himself every now and then to come out with a more successful and better role in reel and real life. A wonderful actor, a smart businessman and a good human being. He makes the day feel so much longer with so much energy and zest to do so many things at a time. Multi-tasking is truly an understatement when it comes to Shahrukh. A man so full of life and real role model - Happy Birthday Shahrukh and many more to come.

We wish him many more to come and look forward to each one of his forthcoming films. Happy B'day Shahrukh!!:)
