Salman surprises Katrina and Akshay

Whenever it seems that Bollywood’s bad boy Salman and gorgeous Katrina’s relationship is on the verge of a breakup there opens a new twist in their tale.

Everyone is aware of the kind of relationship Akshay Kumar and Sallu shares after Akki’s name was been linked with Kat baby.

But known to be an angry young man and possessive towards his girl friends, Salman has given a big surprise by inviting Akshay and Katrina together for his television show Dus Ka Dum.

It is not clear though whether he will have the time to take up Salman's magnanimous offer, as he is likely to return abroad for a shoot immediately after his co-production releases in cinemas worldwide.

Furthermore, as Akshay is under contract with another channel for an on-air reality show, he may not be able to attend 'Dus Ka Dum'.

Meanwhile, after the ugly incident at her b'day party, Katrina Kaif is still maintaining the silence and not ready to comment anything on war of Khans.

“I don’t want to comment anything about it. I don’t think it is in my capacity to say anything, ” was the only thing Kat baby had to say about that evening. The babe also dismissed the rumours about her getting married to Bollywood’s bad boy in the near future.

“I don’t have any plans of marriage as of now and want to just concentrate on my career, ” spoke Katrina.

Well, being Sallu’s girl friend we do understand that it takes a lot of guts to speak your heart out in open.

Mallika Sherawat is planning to sue Ram Gopal Verma

This is what hot bolly-babe Mallika has to say.

Mallika would soon be seen shaking her legs like yesteryears actress Madhubala in Sanjay Chel’s Mann Gaye Mughal-E-Azam in which she is portraying the character of Anarkali.

The fans of this lovely actress has more to cheer about as after seeing her do an item number and a small character in her last released flick Welcome, the lady would now be seen playing a full-fledged role in two of her upcoming comedy flicks Mann Gaye Mugal-E-Azam and Ugli Aur Pagli.

In these two films, Mallika would be seen sharing the screen space with Bollywood’s versatile actors like Rahul Bose, Paresh Rawal and Ranveer Shourey.

When we tried to inquire, whether working with such talented actors has any kind of effect on her real life, the actress replied in her typical confident style, “Definitely. There’s no doubt about it.”

Instead of her habit of running away from media and limelight, Mallika has been able to make a special place in the hearts of her fans.

“I believe in silently doing my work. I am sure that due to my work I have succeeded in making a special place amongst my fans, ” smiles Mallika.

This diva is not only famous for her sensational adas but also for the captions associated with her films.

Mallika is happy that these catch lines helps her films in a positive way, “It’s good that these captions make my films look different from others and hence gets famous amongst the audiences.

If we talk about Mann Gaye Mughal-E-Azam, Sanjay Chel has made a beautiful comedy film. I find myself lucky having got a second chance to work alongside Rahul Bose and Paresh Rawal through this film.”

Very few people are aware that along with being a good actress, Mallika is also a woman who likes to speak her heart out.

The actress isn’t happy the way her name was been used by Ram Gopal Varma for promoting his film Contract. “I am planning to send a legal notice to Mr. Ram Gopal Varma, ” speaks Mallika.

We would have to wait and see whether this hot babe would be able to offer warmness to her fans in this monsoon season with her performance. - Rajnee Gupta

Post her classic portrayal of the cool-turned-coolest Sanjana in the superhit Main Hoon Na, Amrita Rao suddenly became the unanimous choice for all the filmmakers. No wonder then, it was not just raining hit films, but also big banners for this reigning queen! If that wasn't enough, then, the Master himself M.F. Hussain, who was once totally 'Fida' over Madhuri Dixit, announced that Amrita Rao is his latest muse! Way to go, Amrita!

Kareena didn't watch Shahid's film

Two days back there was a news floating around everywhere that a special trial show had been arranged for Kareena Kapoor by her ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapoor at the Yash Raj preview theatre for his latest release Kismat Konnection. We have found out it was nothing but a rumour.

A close friend of Kareena told us, "How can it be possible when she is out of the country presently? This is all fake news. Those posting the news should have atleast verified the facts!"

Similary a close pal of Shahid's too revealed to us, "Shahid despite his break up with Kareena has maintained a cordial relationship with her.

But this is all hogwash that he went on to the extent of arranging a special show for her of his Kismat Konnection. He has moved ahead in life and is more maturer now. There was rumour earlier too that Kareena had arranged a special show of Tashan just before its release for Shahid!

Where as the real fact was that there was no such thing taken place and Shahid in fact went to see Tashan in its 2nd week in a Mumbai multiplex with few friends."

We tried speaking to the Yash Raj studio staff, one amongst them on condition of anonymity told us there was no show of Kismat Konnection held for Kareena at their preview theatre!

Shahid and Kareena have only one film together to be released and that's Milenge Milenge directed by Satish Kaushik and produced by Boney Kapoor, the release date of which is uncertain as of now.

Mallik's svelte figure secret

Mallika Sherawat unarguably has one of the best figures in Bollywood.

The actress however, makes a conscious effort to maintain her svelte figure that has her male fan following drooling over her. And on the other hand each female desires to have the same figure that Mallika possesses.

Finally, Mallika Sherawat's secret to her fabulous figure has been revealed. The actress, our source close to the luscious beauty reveals, "Lives off on low fat food most of the time to remain slim."

The source adds, "Mallika survives on low fat Japanes food most of the time and her favorite dish is the Japanese Sushi.

The actress makes it a point to inform the producers to order for Sushi whenever she is shooting. Not only that Mallika keeps advising about the advantages of low fat and oil free food and tells them to go on a Japanese food diet since it is oil free whereas, Indian food contains ghee.

The actress is always considerate on the sets about her co-stars and everyone around her."

"That apart, Mallika never misses a single day without going to the gym in her Versova apartment complex. Actor-anchor turned director Rohit Roy also stays in the same complex and is seen regularly in this gym, " the source concludes.

We can just only imagine the chaos Mallika's gym work out sessions might be resulting on the rest males in this unisex gym!!

Salman, Shah Rukh war takes a nasty turn

No one could anticipate that a star-studded birthday party of Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif would turn into a battle of the two Indian super stars - Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan - dividing the industry into two camps.

The two superstars were caught in a war of words on the July 16 party that Salman threw for current girlfriend Katrina, which later turned ugly.

Salman was reportedly instigating Shah Rukh from the beginning of the party by speaking about their reality shows - Dus Ka Dum and Kya aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? respectively. Salman claimed that his show Dus Ka Dum had garnered more TRPs than Shah Rukh's, said sources.

Salman scoffed at Shah Rukh by saying that in spite of being a super star he could not make his show a hit.

Shah Rukh initially did not pay any heed to Salman's comments. The final blow came when Shah Rukh made a comment on Salman's ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai, inviting a furious retaliation from Salman.

The incident occurred late in the night, when many of the guests had left.

Though Aamir Khan tried his best to resolve the dispute that arose between Salman and Shah Rukh on Katrina's birthday party, the two are not in a mood for compromise as both have got the support from their well wishers in the industry.

Salman, who is known for his loyalty towards friends, got supportive calls from old time friends like Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Khanna, said sources.

Fardeen Khan and Zayed Khan also showed their concern for the actor by calling him.

Ranbir Kapoor, who worked with Salman in Saawariya, was the only newcomer to jump into the camp fight by calling him to express his sympathy, sources added.

If Salman had his supporters, so did King Khan. Veterans like Yash Chopra and Javed Akhtar called Shah Rukh to enquire about the incident. Besides, Karan Johar, Sajid Khan and Farhan Akhtar once again proved their loyalty towards the actor by offering their support.

Kunal Kohli also called the actor to know about his well being.

"While Salman has the support of actors, Shah Rukh has the support of the directors. It's an advantage for Shah Rukh," remarked an industry watcher.

The star-studded birthday party of Katrina Kaif was attended by Bollywood bigwigs like Aamir, Kareena, Saif Ali Khan, Karan Johar, Rajkumar Santoshi, Kunal Kohli, Salim Khan, Sohail Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Nikhil Advani, Prakash Jha, David Dhawan, Anees Bazmee, and Manmohan Shetty, among others.

Movie Review: Kismat Connection (IndiaFM)

Simple stories, told in the simplest manner, have been the hallmark of all Aziz Mirza films, right from RAJU BAN GAYA GENTLEMAN to CHALTE CHALTE. KISMAT KONNECTION, the veteran's new outing, is no exception.

The characters we watch on screen are relatable, their problems are the type that we've either heard of or experienced ourselves, the love story and the conflict in the tale also comes across so real. Like Mirza's previous films, KISMAT KONNECTION is also not heavy on your senses. It's a simple, feel-good fare that charms its way into your heart.

Since Mirza has only worked with the Numero Uno star, SRK, in the past, the first question that crosses your mind is, does he get it right with Shahid? And the second question is, is the chemistry between the lead pair interesting? Thankfully, the answers to both the questions are in the affirmative.

But there's just one hitch. KISMAT KONNECTION takes its own sweet time to reach the finale [yes, it's lengthy in the second hour]. Besides, it gets slow-paced as well. Yet, all said and done, KISMAT KONNECTION is a film that makes you smile and that is its biggest triumph.

The last word. KISMAT KONNECTION is a pleasant experience, sunshine cinema that lingers in your memory even after the show has concluded.

Raj [Shahid Kapur] was numero uno. In academics, sports, dramatics. But four years after winning the best-student-of-the-year trophy from his architectural college, he's wondering why a brilliant architect like him, with designs to set the Canadian landscape on fire, is still struggling to find that one big chance to showcase his mettle.

It's almost as though some negative kismat is following him around because whenever something good is about to happen, it seems doomed to fail.

Desperate to get rid of the bad phase in his life, Raj meets a quirky oracle, Hasina Bano Jaan [Juhi Chawla]. She tells him that soon his stars will change and make everything work in his favour; but for all this to happen, Raj has first to find his lucky charm and never let go of it. But she tells him no more, leaving Raj mystified, trying to figure out what this charm could be.

Suddenly, his life seems to be on the right track. He's managed to impress top builder Sanjeev Gill [Om Puri] into giving him a prestigious project.

Priya [Vidya Balan] is a tough-talking, tough-decision taking girl with a heart of gold. She is an idealist who is intent on making the world a better, more humane place and is quite willing to fight a lone battle for it.

Raj succeeds in persuading Priya that he's the Messiah who can save her beloved Community Centre from destruction. And also opens her eyes to her philandering fiancé [Amit Verma]. Raj even manages to thwart the evil designs of old-college-foe-turned-deadly-professional-enemy Dave [Manoj Bohra]. Does this mean that Raj has unwittingly discovered his lucky charm?

Recall Aziz Mirza's movies. In practically all his films, the protagonist is aspiring to make it big in life. There's a constant struggle on both levels, personal and professional. KISMAT KONNECTION is no different. Sure, KISMAT KONNECTION isn't entirely original. It bears an uncanny resemblance to JUST MY LUCK [2006; Lindsay Lohan, Chris Pine], but it has been adapted quite well in the Indian milieu. What also sets apart is that Mirza's films have a subtle message and KISMAT KONNECTION is no exception.

KISMAT KONNECTION is primarily a love story that viewers may have visited several times in the past, but let's not forget, romance can never ever go out of fashion. Mirza and co-director Haroun Mirza succeed in presenting the highs and lows in a relationship with maturity. The situations are simple, there's no place for melodrama here. But Mirza should've taken care in maintaining its pace and length in the second hour. The film could've easily done away with a number of scenes.

Pritam's music is ear-pleasing. 'Aai Paapi' and 'Bakhuda Tumhi Ho' are haunting compositions, while Ahmed Khan's choreography in the former takes your breath away. Binod Pradhan's cinematography is top notch and the icing on the cake is the breath-taking locales of Canada.

Shahid is a complete natural, very likable, very believable. Post JAB WE MET, the actor has attained that rare confidence which shows in his performances. Watch him get the emotional moments right and you know that the actor has only matured with time. You may have pre-conceived notions vis-à-vis his pairing with Vidya, but let's tell you that they look perfect. The trimmed hair and minimal makeup make Vidya look pretty. Acting-wise too, she pitches in a fine performance.

Juhi tends to go over the top, but that's the demand of the role. Om Puri is first-rate. Himani Shivpuri is fantastic and her Punjabi accent will bring the house down. Vishal Malhotra is efficient. Manoj Bohra acts very well.

On the whole, KISMAT KONNECTION is a simple film that has its own charm. It's no path-breaking cinema, but it works. At the box-office, its kismet should be strong at multiplexes and the wide release, coupled with no opposition, will help its distributors reap a benefit. Business in Overseas, where it has been given an extensive release, should also be good.

Movie Review: Contract (IndiaFM)

First SATYA. Then COMPANY. Later D. Ramgopal Varma ventures into the territory he's most comfortable in -- Underworld. CONTRACT looks at terrorism, besides the inter-gang rivalry. But, unfortunately, what comes across is the usual vendetta fare with underworld as the wallpaper, presented with new faces.

RGV is amongst the finest storytellers India has produced, no two opinions on that. But howsoever efficient the chef may be, if the meat isn't fresh, no amount of garnishing can make it taste sumptuous. In this case, it's the story [oft-repeated] and screenplay [gripping at few places only, otherwise uninspiring] that throw a spanner.

The only thing you carry home is new-find Adhvik Mahajan's cold look, besides his arresting performance. Otherwise, this one's a forgettable venture!

The story is just not new. A man is planted in the underworld to get to the gangsters. This man has a personal score to settle as well. How he wins their confidence and starts eliminating them gradually is the crux of the film.

Vendetta stories aren't new. Also, gangster/underworld themes have reached a saturation point. How much more can you experiment with a genre that's beaten to death? That's one of the prime reasons why CONTRACT suffers. Sure, with RGV in the driving seat, a number of scenes are really well filmed, but the movie just doesn't work.

The below par writing [writer: Prashant Pandey] is slightly tolerable in the first hour, but gets unbearable towards the latter part. The writer takes too much of a cinematic liberty while winding up the tale. The protagonist takes off his pistol and finishes off the entire army of the villain, in a jiffy.

That's not all! The immediate sequence has the voiceover of a television reporter, who also informs that the corrupt Home Minister has been eliminated. How? Prior to that we're also told that a blast had killed RD and his entire gang, for whom the protagonist works. The protagonist maintains, till the very end, that he hasn't committed this crime. So who actually did?

RGV is letdown by the writer this time. The dialogues are dipped in acid, but why this need to repeat one dialogue ['Faisle galat nahin hote, nateeje galat hote hain'] in both SARKAR RAJ and CONTRACT? The song is foot-tapping ['Maula Khair Kare'; music: Sanaa; filmed on an alluring Shama Sikandar] and it fits well in the proceedings. Cinematography is alright.

Adhvik Mahajan has an imposing personality and moves about like a panther. As far as acting goes, the debutante gets it right most of the times. Only thing, he needs to work on his voice. Sakshi Gulati doesn't really get scope, but she leaves a strong impact in the pre-climax when she hears of her brother's death.

In supporting roles, Prasad Purandare [excellent; film-makers should tap this talent], Zakir Hussain [efficient], Sumeet Nijhawan [RD; first-rate], Upendra Limaye [Goonga; top notch], Amruta Subhash [Goonga's wife; realistic] and Vibha Cheebur [Commissioner; perfect] stand out.

On the whole, CONTRACT is weak in merits and the fact that this genre [underworld/gangster films] has limited reach will further curtail its prospects. At the box-office, a poor show!

Salman proposes marriage to Katrina

Is Bollywood's most eligible bachelor going to tie the knot finally?

It sure seems like a possibility, as Salman Khan proposed marriage to girlfriend Katrina Kaif on her 24th birthday on July 16.

The actor had thrown a big birthday bash for Katrina, and the who's who of tinsel town was invited -- including Shah Rukh Khan , Aamir Khan , Ranbir Kapoor , Deepika Padukone , as well as Katrina's mother and sister.

As the deejay turned up the volume for the title track of Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Salman proposed to Katrina on bended knee.

"She didn't know how to react with Salman's gesture," said a source, who was present in the party.

Salman seemed to want to fulfill the wishes of his contestants on Sony Entertainment Television's 10 Ka Dum as well, as many of them have suggested that he get married.

'I really respect their love for me but why is everyone concerned about a very individual choice? It is a personal choice,' Salman wrote on his blog, adding, 'There is a saying, 'Shaadi woh laddoo hai joh khaye woh bhi pachtaye jo naa khaye woh bhi pachtaye. And I don't like sweets, so it does not concern me.'

Beware of unfaithful lover, Priyanka

Off late her films or performances may not have 'clicked' with the audiences and 'box office success' may have eluded this beauty for sometime now, but there is nothing which can keep Priyanka Chopra out of news.

Noted astro numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi predicts what's in store for the talented girl who will celebrate her birthday soon this week.

Born on 18th July 1982, Priyanka is a Number 9 in numerology ruled by Number 9

(Mars), Numbers 2 and 7 (Cancer – ruling planets Moon and Neptune) and Number 9 again (Mars - 1 + 8 + 7 + 1 + 9 + 8 + 2 = 36 = 9).

"Priyanka will be entering her 27th year which is amongst her best numbers and her good time begins here onwards. But the year 2008 (2 + 0 + 0 + 8 = 1) which adds up to Number 1 will once again act as a 'deterrent' as it is one of her weakest numbers.

Bhavikk continues "She should be very careful with selecting her next lot of films since just signing big banner films will do her career no good. She should spell her name as PRIYANCKA CHOPRAA for best results.

"On a personal front, she will 'officially' enter in a relationship by beginning of 2009 till August next year. But Priyanka's name adds up to No. 47 (4 + 7 = 2) which is not so good news.

Although No. 2 is one of her lucky numbers, No. 47 as an octave of No. 2 is often deceptive. She might enter into a relationship with a guy who will turn out to be 'not so faithful'. Wearing an emerald and a pearl will definitely help, " ends Bhavikk on a cautious note.

Smitten by Ranbir Katrina has no time for Salman

The 'IT' and 'HIT' girl of Bollywood, Katrina Kaif is on a dream run at the box office with back to back 5 hits in a row. And with reports of Singh is Kinng and Yuvraaj being positive, Katrina is slated for an unmatched 7 hits in a row.

Undoubtedly Kat baby is considered amongst the select few who commands a price and receives it. It seems she believes in the proverb; make hay while the sun shines, and is really making sure that she gets the most from this golden phase of her career.

Presently the 'IT' girl is shooting with heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor in Raj Kumar Santoshi's 'Ajab Prem ki Ghazab Kahani'. According to unit members she is having a blast shooting in Ooty presently, and they rave about her dedication and chemistry between the two youngsters.

Infact this film will mark Katrina Kaif's first film with the younger generation heroes of her age. And according to sources on the sets, the good looking pair shares an extremely great chemistry.

"It's the first time Kat is paired opposite a hero of her age. So obviously with two young good looking people get together on screen, the chemistry is bound to be awesome.

Everyone who was present on the sets of the film couldn't stop raving about how good they look together!" informs the source.

But is it that in this process she isn’t been able to concentrate on her personal life? We all are aware about the rift developing between this babe and her beau Salman Khan.

The way this diva is choosing the right filmy scripts at the moment, we hope that she also concentrates in constructing a positive script when it comes to her love life with Sallu. After all everyone likes to see a happy ending.

Kareena knows Saif will be totally professional with Deepika

If Saif is looking happier today than he did a week ago it's because he's now ready to head from London for Los Angeles where his lady-love Kareena Kapoor is shooting with Akshay Kumar for Sajid Nadiadwala's Kambakht Ishq.

Speaking from LA Kareena can't stop glowing, "Yes Saif is coming here day after tomorrow (Saturday) for two weeks.

I don't know how happy he is about it. But I'm looking forward to seeing him again, " says Kareena who has been shooting around the clock.

"It's been a mad rush here. And from the 18th I shoot with Sylvester Stallone. Isn't that exciting? Am I a fan of Stallone? Who isn't?"

Saif has been telling anyone whom he trusts that not having Kareena in his first production has been killing him.

Laughs Kareena, "That's because Saif is very very open about his feelings. So am I. I know he was thoroughly professional with Deepika. We'll do many films together in the future. What's the hurry?"

More on Saif. He and Kareena are supposedly doing their first joint stage performance in Dubai early next month for the Morani bothers.

Kareena completely denies this 'news report.'

"It's true that Saif and I will be in Dubai together next month. But we are certainly not performing together I don't know where this came from. We'll just attend the Zee Carnival, waving to the audience and signing autographs.That's it."

At the moment she's enjoying shooting with Akshay Kumar. "And I'm going to do one more film with Akshay. Imtiaz (Ali) has signed us together for his next film, the one that he'll make after the one with Saif and Deepika.

So there ends all the speculation about Imtiaz and me being at loggerheads because he didn't sign me for his second film."

Imtiaz Ali's Kareena-Akshay starrer takes off in June 2008. "I'm yet to hear the narration. But I can say this much. It'll have me in an even better role than Jab We Met.

I've to keep doing characters and films I haven't done before. I can't be doing things I've already done….but right now I'm looking forward to meeting up with Saif again."

I'm sexy, the whole world knows me

Actress Celina Jaitely may not have too many hits to her credit, but with two foreign productions in hand the Bollywood beauty says that the 'whole world' knows her!

The former Miss India even compares her career with that of the gorgeous Madhuri Dixit.

'Nobody knew Madhuri Dixit before 'Ek Do Teen', though she had done films before she did the song, ' Celina told over phone from Mumbai.

'But the whole world knows Celina Jaitley, I have a glamorous and sexy image. People recognise me all over the world, ' the actress remarked.

Asked about her ever-increasing glamour quotient, she said: 'I must have done a good job and that is the reason why I'm famous for my glamorous image. I have thousands of fans all over the world. People like the way I act and this image has given me a lot.

'There are many actors who've done multiple roles but still suffer from an identity crisis and, on the contrary, I need bodyguards all the time because of my status, ' added Celina.

So isn't she afraid of being typecast as a sex symbol?

'My job is to give the audience what they like and I do that. It's been four and a half years in the industry and I have achieved a lot.'

Celina has now joined the item song bandwagon too. She is set to sizzle in Balaji Motion Picture's 'C Kkompany' opposite Tusshar Kapoor.

'I am doing this item song because I have called the shots here and nobody else has. It is a Punjabi song and I always wanted to do a Punjabi number because my dad is a Punjabi.

'Also Tusshar is a very good friend and I'm very close to Balaji (Productions), ' she added.

And is the actress dating anybody? 'Celina Jaitley is not in a relationship. She is in a relationship only with her career which is a great love-affair, ' she quipped.

Celina has been roped in for 15 projects that will keep her busy until next year. Apart from 'C Kkompany', she also has two foreign productions by Ken Khan - 'Love has no Language' and 'The Quest of Sheherzade'.

Her Bollywood list also includes 'Hello Darling', 'Golmaal Returns', 'Paying Guest', 'Chai Garam', Sunil Darshan's untitled project, two projects with Ashtavinayak productions and a Punjabi film.
