Bipasha and Arshad ‘racially abused’ in UK

Basu and Arshad were absolutely shocked the way a group of white men roughed them near Glassy Junction, a popular Indian pub in Southall, West London, some months back. Both were verbally attacked by some white men. Both Bipasha and Arshad claimed that they were racially abused while shooting for their latest film ‘Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal’.

Just less than a year after Shilpa Shetty became the victim of racial slur in Britain. And the same thing happened once again .Even fellow actor John Abraham, who was also present at that time said “When you come into London and you are shooting, it’s the last thing you expect.”

Kareena comes home!


Kareena Kapoor is all set to feature in an RK banner film. After much deliberation the Kapoor brothers - Randhir, Rishi and Rajiv - are ready to work on a youthful breezy romantic comedy early next year. The script has been finalised and the screenplay is in its final stages. Confirming the news, papa Randhir Kapoor says, “I'm making a film with Kareena. It's going to be a youthful romantic film, and it should start in a few months from now.”

Ask him for details and he says, “We are going to make a formal announcement at the right time. All I can say is that the project featuring Bebo is underway.” We are no strangers to the fact that the Kapoor brothers have been working on scripts for the longest time. Their last production was Aa Ab Laut Chalen starring Akshaye Khanna and Aishwarya Rai, which had released in 1999.

Those in the know reveal that another film starring Ranbir Kapoor will hit the floors alongside. Randhir Kapoor says, “The Kapoor family is with Ranbir's debut. We are making a film with Ranbir too. Both the films are set to start at the same time next year.”

News has it that elder daughter Karishma Kapoor intends to make a comeback. The actress, who shuttles between Mumbai and Delhi, has been reading up scripts. However, papa Randhir rules out any such possibility. He says, “I don't think so.”

Meanwhile, he is delighted about Kareena's new pad at Bandra. Randhir has been equally involved in the buying process. “My daughters do seek my advice and I was there when Bebo was buying the place. I really like the new house,” he says.

Known for his funny-bone, papa Randhir came up with a unique nickname for Shahid (read 'Dodo') on Koffee with Karan. We urge him to make suggestions for Kareena's latest boyfriend Saif Ali Khan and he says, “It was something that came out on the spur of the moment and it was in good humour. I don't want to fall in this trap again.” We insist and he says, “I don't even know Saif Ali Khan.”

Nisha Kothari



'I am sexy, not vulga:-

New Bollywood hottie Nisha Kothari is all set to win hearts with her bindas portrayal of Ghungroo in Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag. She speaks to NT about her character, shedding clothes and romance.


After creating a sensation in Tollywood, sexy Nisha Kothari went ahead and became Ram Gopal Varma's favourite heroine, replacing the oomphy Urmila Matondkar. And now she is playing the new Basanti aka Ghungroo in Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, in which macho man Ajay Devgan stars opposite her.

Talking about the character of Ghungroo she says, "It's a very peppy character. She is a tapori who puffs beedi (hopelessly imitating her favourite actor Rajnikanth), drives an autorickshaw (called Laila) and looks after her parents. People are bound to compare this character with Basanti played by Hemaji in Sholay, but though both have the same flavour-- they are entirely different in attitude and have been treated differently. I am sure people will love me and my character."

Just a few flicks old, Nisha has had the opportunity to work with stars like Sushmita Sen, Ajay Devgan and Emraan Hashmi. She says, "There was a time when I would dream of working with these stars and today I am sharing the screen space with them. It is like a dream come true. The best part is that these senior actors make the newcomer feel so comfortable on the sets that you feel you have been working for ages with them."

Citing an example she says, "While shooting for this film, RGV suddenly asked me to puff beedi Rajnikanth style. Though I had practised the style quite a few times, I panicked and looked at Ajay Devgan. He realised that I was scared and quietly winked at me and smiled, which meant 'just do it'. The shot I gave then was perfect."

Ask her what all she does, when she is not working and pat comes the reply, "I either play video games, work out or catch up with my sleep. I don't party at all. I am a traditional person and like to maintain a low profile. I have a long way to go and I am concentrating only on my work."
But somehow this 'traditional' talk does not gel well with the speed with which she sheds clothes on screen and does passionate scenes with co-actors like Ajay Devgan. She calmly explains, "I have a beautiful body and can carry any outfit with grace. If I reveal or do intimate scenes that's only because I am convinced the role needs it. The director has to convince me that the scene is required and I know that I look sexy and not vulgar donning a short skirt or hot pants. Had I been doing anything unethical, my parents would have objected to it, instead they are quite supportive."

Not many know that the girl loves to dance. "You just have to put on the music and I can break into a jig. I love to dance and sometimes when I am feeling low, I put on soft music and dance," says she and signs off.

Bollywood Gossips

Aaja Nachle


Madhuri Dixit's comeback film, Aaja Nachle is already receiving excellent responses from Bollywood fans across the UK.

Trailers of the film currently being shown with big Bollywood blockbusters like Om Shanti Om and Saawariya has already drawn a lot of curiosity from cinema goers.

Audiences coming out of cinemas have also been seen gloating over the film's standee displays in cinema foyers whilst some have taken the liberty in taking pictures against Aaja Nachle cinema posters.

With Om Shanti Om hype dying down in the coming weeks, Dixit's Aaja Nachle (meaning come dancing) will once again revive Bollywood interest with audiences during the cold December month.

The film is being released in the UK cinemas by Yash Raj Films based in London on 30 November 2007.

Saawariya loses out to Om Shanti Om


One of Bollywood's most respected publicists, Dale Bhagwagar, predicted that Om Shanti Om will surpass all box office expectations over Saawariya.

Dale said, "I doubt if Saawariya can give competition to Om Shanti Om and hope it's not a case of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's over confidence versus Shah Rukh Khan's star power. Because such a game, if lost, can give a jolt to the industry,"

Dale had feared that such unjustified competition between a debutante and a megastar could result in mega-shocks.

Decidedly, Om Shanti Om is now a much stronger product, while Saawariya is already facing criticism on the directorial front, after its premiere last week in New York.

It can be noted here that Bhansali has always made films with very big stars. While Khamoshi starred Salman Khan and Manisha Koirala, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam had Salman, Ajay Devgan and Aishwarya Rai in the lead roles.

Bhansali went one step ahead with Devdas with it's unusual casting coup with Shah Rukh Khan pairing up with Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya, while Black had the inimitable Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukherji leading the cast.

This is the first time that Bhansali took up the mantle of being a star-maker, by launching new faces Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor, along with Salman and Rani in special roles.

"If Saawariya was postponed for another week, it could have stood a better chance. I wonder why its makers couldn't see the crisis coming," said Dale.

He explained, "PRs build perceptions, but perception-building is not the only aspect required for a film. The hype for Saawarya has been tremendous, but it seems Sanjay Leela Bhansali not only over-rated his product but miscalculated its overall acceptance by the audience."

During its opening weekend, Om Shanti Om has shown collections reaching over £350,000 by entering the UK top 10 charts at number seven.

Review-Bollywood Movie Awarapan

Story-:
Awarapan is the story of man called Shivam, who searched for joy but found nothing except pain and loneliness. It is the journey of a frustrated heartbroken lover who in order to escape from the haunting memories of his tragic past dedicates himself to serve his gangster boss Malik who runs a chain of hotels in Hong Kong.



One day Malik asks him to do an unusual job for him. He asks him to keep an eye on his young mistress Reema while he is away on a brief business trip. Reema is a young Pakistani girl who is a victim of human trafficking and whom Malik has bought in the flesh market in Bangkok. Shivam has instructions that if Reema is found to be cheating behind his back then he should kill her.



Shivam's heart melts on seeing her innocence and vulnerability. The atheist turns into a believer, as he begins smiling and responding to life. Reema gives Shivam reason to believe that she likes him. Existence begins to blush for Shivam but only till the reality dawns on him that Reema has a secret lover tucked away and was planning to elope with him. Her game was merely a smoke- screen created to gain freedom.



A shattered Shivam is in a dilemma on realizing that he has been heartlessly used - does he inform his boss or does he earn his wrath by helping his unrequited love to achieve the freedom she yearns for?

Review-Bollywood Movie Om Shanti Om

Bollywood Movie Om Shanti Om Story-:
The movie begins at a film studio where Om Prakash Makhija (Shah Rukh Khan) works as a junior artist. Om’s whole family consists of junior artists. He himself dreams of becoming a major Bollywood Star and win a Filmfare Award for best actor. He along with his friend Pappu (Shreyas) had been working in the industry for years and the only thing that is driving Om Prakash Makhija is to meet his dream girl - Shantipriya (Deepika). On the premiere of Shanti’s movie Dreamy Girl, both Om and Pappu go to the red carpet wearing rented suits expecting Shanti’s presence. Pappu steals an exclusive pass that belongs to Mr. Manoj Kumar to watch the premiere, but have to run out when the real Manoj Kumar appears. While being dragged out of the theater Om manages to get Shanti's attention and he is awed by Shanti’s gaze. During a shooting where Om plays the role of a Dacoits’s henchman, Shanti gets trapped in the field that is set on fire. The hero gets too scared to save the heroine and Om saves her. Shanti is appreciative of this and becomes Om's friend. Om lies that he is a south Indian star and even invites her to a fake south Indian movie shooting.



Om's already latent feelings for Shantipriya start to emerge. However, he learns that she's already married to Mukhesh Mehra (Arjun Rampal) who is the producer of Shanti's movies. Their marriage has not yet gone public, since Mehra fears it would harm Shanti's on-screen image. It will go public soon since Shanti is pregnant with Mehra's child.

Mukhesh pretends to be happy with the news and promises to announce the marriage and pregnancy after his forthcoming movie, "Om Shanti Om", is complete. Mukhesh borrowed a huge amount of money from a producer and promised to marry his daughter in return. Mukhesh takes Shanti to the set of "Om Shanti Om" and tells her they will soon get formally married on the set. On the set he reveals his true intention of killing Shanti as it would cost him lots of money if their relationship was known. Om witnesses the entire scene and attempts to rescue Shanti after Mukhesh sets the entire set on fire. However, the building is destroyed, Shanti dies within it, and Om is blown out of the set onto the road where he gets hit by a car driven by one of the greatest stars of the 70s: Rajesh Kapoor. At the hospital, Om dies but is reincarnated in the newborn child of Rajesh and his wife.



Thirty years later, the reincarnated Om Kapoor (Shahrukh Khan) is the biggest movie star of recent times. One of his film shootings leads him to the studio where Shanti was burned thirty years ago and he starts to remember. During a Filmfare celebration, where he wins the Best Actor Award, he starts to remember his old life and meets his old friend, Pappu, and his mother again. They forge a plan to punish Mukhesh Mehra who has returned from producing Hollywood movies. Om convinces him to remake the old movie "Om Shanti Om" and finds a new heroine, Sandhya (Deepika Padukone). They train Sandhya to act like Shantipriya and during the Muharat of "Om Shanti Om", Sandhya plays the ghost of the deceased Shantipriya. Om first invites Mukesh to a function. Suddenly a chandelier comes & hits his head, making him unconscious. After he wakes up he comes to know that there is no one in the function except he & Om. Mukesh tells to Om that he knows everything about his plan. Suddenly, Sandy comes and starts to talk. Om tries to stop her. But she says that after Om leaves the burning set Mukesh comes to the burned set, only to find out that Shanti is still alive. Mukesh then buries Shanti alive. Om is shocked that how did Sandy know about all this stuff ? She tells Om not to kill Mukesh. She kills Mukesh herself. Om realizes who it is he is encountering and stares at her while she moves away, smiling at him.

Director: Sanjay Gadhvi
Producer: Aditya Chopra
Screenplay & Dialogs: Vijay Krishna Acharya
Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Sameer

The police are baffled by a master thief known only as Mr. A (Hrithik Roshan) because he leaves an 'A' symbol after each robbery. Mr. A steals the English crown by sky diving onto a train, disguising himself as the queen, stealing the crown, and escaping.

He is pursued by ACP Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan), ACP Shonali Bose (Bipasha Basu), and Sub Inspector Ali Akbar (Uday Chopra). They try to catch him in the act as he robs a Mumbai museum, but fail.

Mr. A, in the meantime, is caught by the wiles of Sunehri (Aishwarya Rai), who claims to be Mr. A's number-one fan. Attempting to catch Sunehri in the act, Shonali breaks her leg. Mr. A agrees to take Sunehri into partnership, not knowing that she is actually working for the police.

Mr. A and Sunehri fly to Copacabana, where Mr. A plans another big heist. The police officers, Jai and Ali, follow. While in Brazil they stay with Shonali's twin sister Monali and uncover that Mr. A's real name is Aryan. Aryan, who has trusted Sunehri with his life, finds out that she is working against him and accuses her of treachery. She then realizes that she loves him and joins him in earnest. Their heist is a success; their escape, not so much. In the end Sunehri shoots Aryan who falls of a cliff, though Sunehri claims she did it out of love. However, it is implied that even this was a last-resort faked death, planned out by Aryan and Sunehri, as in the end they are seen working at a restaurant. Jai comes by to visit them and then goes off to India for his new case.
