Khushi's absence makes Arnav restless in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon gaining trp

Khushi's absence makes Arnav restless in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon
 The way Star Plus’ Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon is progressing, every single episode of the show trends to keep the viewers glued to their couches.

Just a day back we had all the ardent fans complaining about the misunderstandings between Khushi (Sanaya Irani) and Arnav (Barun Sobti) being dragged, and now CVs have got a new surprise.
Khushi's absence makes Arnav restless in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon

Post the Heer-Ranjha track, which was quite a treat for all, we again got to see some creepy acts from Shyam’s (Abhaas Mehta) ends. And the heated argument between Khushi and Arnav was enough to give us the shock of life.

But thanks to Anjali (Daljeet Bhanot), not only Arnav came to know of the truth behind Shyam being away with Khushi during the Fashion Show; he even repented on being so harsh towards her. But as we know, how the mighty pride of ASR can allow him to accept that and even when he had tried it, Khushi was in no mood to entertain the unsaid apology.

Khushi’s arrogance again hurt his ego, which led him to bash her once more. But to his surprise, the otherwise daring Khushi chose to keep mum at all his jeering. This indeed made him a bit uneasy but still he couldn’t help saying that how he wished if he could just avoid seeing her face. He must have said it to in order to provoke Khushi to react but little did he know that his days would start without her presence around.

Fulfilling his command Khushi has decided not to confront him and is trying hard to stay away from bumping into Arnav. Her absence has made an effect on him and he is feeling the void created with her nonexistence. Will the restlessness dwelling in him get him out of the emotional web? Will he be able to find Khushi out?

Let’s see what Monday brings us for all!

Jayshree Soni is struggling hard between her personal and professional life
No matter what the situation is but a real human being always manages to fulfill all his duties. And this is well proven by Jayshree Soni who is portraying the role of Niyati in Sahara one's daily Niyati.

The actress is nowadays facing lot of problems as she has to strike a balance between her professional and personal duties. As revealed by the sources Jaishree's father has recently gone through an open heart surgery in Jaipur and being a daughter it’s her duty to take care of her father and stand by him in this difficult time. But on the other side, her professional commitments are also to be taken care off.

Hence, the actress is said to be moving between the cities regularly i.e she shoots for some days in Mumbai and then again heads off to Jaipur. The CVs are facing lot of problems due to the absence of the lead and have to shoot many filler episodes.

When contacted Jayshree she shared," I do not have many people who can look after my father; hence I make it a point to stand by him, and I have been informed that the creatives will no longer use any filler hence I will have to be present during the shots and I will be. Currently I am in Jaipur looking after my father but I will get back to Mumbai soon”.

She further adds, “Yes, I have a personal problem but that does not mean that my professional life will take a backseat. I am working hard on balancing both and I am sure I will do it soon.”

Well Jayshree, we hope that you come out of the situation soon!

bitto boss movie released on 23th april 2012

bitto boss movie released on 23th april 2012
Bittoo Boss is an upcoming Hindi comedy film directed by Supavitra Babul. The film features Pulkit Samrat and Amita Pathak in lead roles. It revolves around a man who records videos at weddings.

 Controversy

The Central Board of Film Certification had rejected a promo of the film[1] that was scheduled to release in April 2012.[2] The producers are now left with no option but to redesign it and apply to the censor committee all over again.
The promo of the film that shows everything through the lenses of a cameraman, has guests at a wedding asking the video camera guy top shoot them as well. Dialogues like 'meri bhi lo' (a shot, in this context) has irked the committee, urging them to reject the entire promo.
Supavitra Babul, the debutante director of the film said, "I have been a camera person too. I have got many friends who have been shooting weddings in Delhi. I am well versed with the way people talk. It's all very cute. The film is about a videographer and the way he looks at things. I am surprised that the promo has been rejected for something like this."
Kumar Mangat, the producer of the film informed, "The censor committee has completely rejected the song and the promo. It is an old folk song, which we have re-created for our film. But they said that they couldn't give us the certificate. We were ready to change it, beep it or even alter the words but it was a clear 'no' from their end. We were ready to accept cuts but nothing worked. Guess our film does not have big stars or big names to help us."

 Soundtrack

The movie album is composed by Raghav Sachar. It received positive reception. Musicperk.com rated it 7.5/10 quoting "Bittoo Boss is admirable album and offers more than one expene.

madhuri dixit queen of dancing diva in bolly wood

madhuri dixit queen of dancing diva in bolly wood
No one can deny that Madhuri Dixit was the real charmer of Bollywood and even until now the industry has been unsuccessful in finding her match. And ace choreographer Remo D'Souza gladly accepts this fact and tells why he considers Madhuri Dixit to be the goddess of dancing.

India's hip-hop maestro and dance guru, Remo D'Souza has started shooting for his second and India's first ever dance film ABCD (Anybody can dance).

The film has been shot in 3D and will have Prabhu Deva, Ganesh Acharya, American dancer Lauren Gottlieb in the lead roles. Gottlieb has been a finalist of So You Think You Can Dance and has been featured in films like Disaster Movie, Bring It On: Fight To The Finish and Hannah Montana.

Recently while talking to the sources, Remo spoke of his film and revealed that he is trying to rope in Madhuri Dixit for his next, which will be a musical saga. "Unfortunately, Madhuri Dixit is not in ABCD. But, I am trying to get her for my next film which is a musical saga which will be in 3D," said Remo.

Talking about Madhuri, he says, “Madhuri is the goddess of dancing. She or Sridevi cannot be compared to the current crop of actresses. Madhuri cannot be compared to Kareena, Priyanka or Katrina. People feel jealous of me as I get to sit beside her on Jhalak!"

Well, we would gladly second with him!

  • the dirty picture world tv premiere on sony tv on 22 april 2012 at 7 pm
    The Dirty Picture is a 2011 Indian biographical drama film inspired by the life of Silk Smitha, a South Indian actress noted for her erotic roles. The filmmakers have clarified that the story is not officially or literally based on Smitha alone, but on many of her Southern contemporaries such as Nylon Nalini and Disco Shanti. It also resembles the personal lives of other women in popular culture, including Hollywood actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe.[2] The film was directed by Milan Luthria and co-produced by Shobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor, after Ekta came up with the idea and asked screenwriter Rajat Aroraa to pen a story based on it.[3]
    Produced in a budget of INR18 crore (US$3.59 million),[4] The Dirty Picture was released worldwide on 2 December 2011 (the anniversary of Smitha's birth),[5] in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions. Vidya Balan, Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Emraan Hashmi played lead roles in the film.[6] Upon release the film was both a critical and commercial success, with Balan receiving the highest accolades for her performance; she was called "the hero of the film".[7] In addition, the film has received widespread praise for portraying women as powerful, contributing something unique to a typically male-dominated society.[8] The film's music was composed by Vishal Shekhar with lyrics written by Rajat Aroraa.
    The Dirty Picture grossed INR117 crore (US$23.34 million) worldwide[1] and received several awards, most of which were won by Balan for her portrayal of Silk. The film won three National Film Awards including Best Actress, three Filmfare Awards and siVidya Balan as Reshma/Silk, a rebellious woman turned actress. She runs away from home at a young age in order to nurture her dream of becoming an actress. She is uninhibited in expressing her sexuality and has scandalous affairs with several men.
  • Naseeruddin Shah as Suryakant, an aging South Indian superstar. He is involved in various extramarital relationships and has a secret affair with a much younger, Silk.
  • Tusshar Kapoor as Ramakant, Suryakant's brother and a writer for one of his forthcoming films. He is attracted to Silk, but unlike his brother is empathetic towards her.
  • Emraan Hashmi as Abraham, a film director and the narrator of the film. He dreams of making off-beat films and proclaims himself to be Silk's biggest enemy.
  • Anju Mahendru as Naila, a journalist who writes scandalous articles about Silk, but secretively admires her courage.
  • Rajesh Sharma as Selva Ganesh/Keedadas, a producer of most of Silk's films.
  • Mangal Kenkre as Ratnamma, a confidante of Silk.
  • Arya Banerjee as Shakeela, a newcomer who compares her skills to Silk.

I'm looking for somebody who will understand me and my family, reveals Deepika Singh!

I'm looking for somebody who will understand me and my family, reveals Deepika Singh
One can say that the ideal bahu of Star Plus’ Diya Aur Baati Hum, Deepika Singh aka Sandhya is very much like her on-screen character in real life too.

It is quite surprising, but in spite of being from celeb world, the Delhi born girl recently is not very social and does not mingle with most of her male co-stars from the industry. “I just meet them during shoots or events where we only exchange pleasantries. I am not very active on the social networking scene as well.”

When sources quizzed the girl about her ideal man, who she is yet to find, the lovely actress said, “I am looking for somebody who will understand me and my family and someone with whom I can spend the rest of my life with.”

She further went on to say that she does not give too much importance to physical looks, “This trait is not high on my wish list.” On another note, she said that she supports the idea of married women going to work, “Agreed conservative households don’t support such ideas, but I am all for it and know of many women who successfully balance both work and house.”

Well said girl, we definitely in accord with your belief!

natasha turns good in bade ache lagte hai on sony

natasha turns  good in bade ache lagte hai on sony tv
Good news for Sony TV’s Bade Acche Lagte Hai viewers! The latest buzz coming from the telly sources says that Sumona Chakravarti aka Natasha will be having an image makeover.

So far audiences have witnessed her in a slightly negative avatar in the show, with her constant endeavors to ruin Ayesha’s career. But now she will have a change of heart and she will turn positive towards Ayesha.

Many a times the two have been seen involving in catfights but now there will be change in Natasha’s behaviour towards Ayesha. Buzz is that Natasha turns positive in the upcoming episodes but Ayesha will not be ready to accept this change. She will think that Nuts (as Natasha is fondly known) is still plotting something against her; however the truth will be that Nuts has turned into a positive and helpful sister in law.

Sumona confirmed the buzz, “My character will now become more positive and very supportive after Priya aka Sakshi Tanwar makes her understand family values. And I, personally, am loving this change. A negative Natasha will realize that what she did is wrong and will now protect Ayesha. Such people, who have shades of grey, exist in real life too.”

We are sure that like Sumona, even the audience would love this change!

Usha Nadkarni is set to play narrator in Colors' newly launched show Kairi

Usha Nadkarni is set to play narrator in Colors' newly launched show Kairi
Here we bring exciting news for all the Colors’ new show Kairi viewers! The latest buzz making way is that Usha Nadkarni of Pavitra Rishta fame is set to enter in Shashi-Sumeet Mittal show.

This veteran actress, who is currently seen in Pavitra Rishta, would be seen in this Colors’ show in a special hour long episode that will be aired every Saturday. She will be seen speaking about the ongoing track, as like late Ashok Kumar in the legendary series Hum Log that aired on Doordarshan.

Incidentally, this will be Colors’ second show to have a celebrity as a narrator. The first one to start this trend was Chhal, which roped in Bollywood veteran Om Puri. When sources contacted Usha Nadkarni, she said, “Though I am not playing a character in the show, I am a very important and crisp part of it. I would conclude the whole week’s episode with my own style and I will say this catchy line “Dekhte Rahiye, Imarti Devi Ki Kahaani Meri Jubani” at the end. I am extremely excited and looking forward to the show.”

The first episode starring Usha Nadkarni will be aired on 7 April 2012. We wishes her all the best for her new role!

housefull2 movie review in 2012

Housefull 2: Movie Review
Housefull 2More Pics
Director: Sajid Khan
Cast: Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh

In a scene towards the latter half of the film, Riteish Deshmukh uses a flowchart to explain who's who, who's posing as who and who's being assumed as who in film. If this confuses you, that's precisely what director Sajid Khan intends to do. If you can't convince them, confuse them is what he believes in. At instances, his film makes you laugh out loud, and at other instances it's so loud that you want to cry. So how's the film in totality? Well you continue to remain confused about your conclusion!

Let's talk about the upsides first. This one is certainly less silly and slapstick than its predecessor. This means there are less slaps (literally), less tomfoolery and less noise! Akshay Kumar does a hilarious spin-off on yesteryear villain Ranjeet who holds the reprehensible record of playing rapist in maximum number of films. And Ranjeet actually brings the house down with his cameo in the climax where he successfully self-spoofs himself. For anyone who enjoyed Sajid Khan's brand of silly-yet-crazy one-liners while he was still a TV host, there are plenty of them here that range from the stupid to side-splitting.

Now for the downside - the comedy is more animated (literally) - which means a crocodile bites the bum and a python crunches at crotch of our heroes. Since there are two brawny bodies (Akshay and John) playing the male leads, it's mandatory that they first fight each other, then, together, fight the goons extensively and finally save a father figure from the falling chandelier. If the first part got a Queen of England replica in its climax, the sequel is substituted with a Prince Charles clone. And while interpreting his brand of humour from the small screen to the big screen, Sajid Khan forgets that unlike countdown shows, cinema calls for plot - which his first half is completely devoid of.

Ah, coming to the storyline (if you still insist), the first half is, more or less, exhausted with unnecessary buildup through lackadaisical love stories and fathers-of-bride (Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor) who want billionaire son-in-laws for their daughters. The original essence of the franchise - of filling a house with multiple characters which results into a comedy of errors - initiates only in the second half, as a dozen characters land up in one palatial mansion. Each one mistakes the other for someone else and this comedy of mistaken identities isn't much different from the prequel or its likes. In fact one song (Do You Love Me) is an exact imitation of the climactic number (Dil Pagal Hai) from the cult-comedy No Entry - Johnny Lever gets baffled with the cross-connected pairings here.

The narrative often seems lost between two extremes and opts for a middle-of-the-road settlement. Like despite its wacky sense of filmy humour, the movie gets unnecessarily melodramatic at times. For instance, after effectively pulling off a wicked womanizer character, you don't expect Ranjeet to give a sermon on true love. Or you don't anticipate that the venom-spewing stepbrothers would be seized by instant brotherly love in the climax. So just when you enjoy an element, its antidote kills the fun. And if you noticed, I never ever 'criticized' about lack of logic, et al. That's pardonable by now in the slapstick scheme of things, as far as the proceedings are funny. What I am talking about here is the basic grammar of the genre that gets jumbled up.

The most amusing act comes from beyond the dirty dozen characters. It's Johnny Lever who's hilarious and is especially in his elements in the climax. Akshay Kumar is a pro at such comic characters and pulls off his part with effortless ease. John Abraham struggles with, both, his comic timing and expressions and seems uncomfortable in the role. Riteish Deshmukh is too good and his stuck-in-situation expressions are just priceless. Shreyas Talpade is good as long he lasts in his short-lived character. Amongst the senior actors, Mithun Chakravarthy gets the meatiest part and has strong screen presence. Rishi Kapoor is lively but Randhir Kapoor appears exhausted. Boman Irani hams. The actresses have pretty much nothing to do than looking good. So Jacqueline Fernandes wins the race with her gorgeous looks and Shahazn Padamsee comes a close second. Asin does just about fine for herself. Zareen Khan is irritating and thankfully underutilized. Malaika Arora is regular. Ranjeet, by spoofing himself in a cameo, has perhaps played the most entertaining role of his career.

Housefull 2 is neither fully gratifying nor a house-of-horror like its prequel (or its equivalents).

Verdict: Above Average

Nishi Rawal has been roped in Life OK's Main Laxmi Tere Aangan Ki
Model-turned actress Nisha Rawal is well known face in the world of advertising, music videos and even films (as she has worked in quite a few), but little does television industry know about her apart from the fact that she is Karan Mehra’s (Naitik of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai on Star Plus) girlfriend.

Though the girl has earlier worked in Star Plus’ daily soap Kesar, but that was long time back, and since then she has been away from television. However, according to the latest buzz, this beauty is all set to enter the world of television.

News is that Nisha Rawal has bagged Shashi-Sumeet Mittal’s Main Laxmi Tere Aangan Ki on Life OK. Prior to this, Nisha had been finalized to essay the lead role in Zee TV’s show Apno Ke Liye Geeta Ka Dharamyudh, but backed out later.

A reliable source informs that Nisha Rawal has been finalized to essay the parallel lead in this Life OK daily. She would essay the role of Soumya, who is the ex girlfriend of Arjun (Sudeep Sahir). She would enter the show during the haldi sequence of Arjun and Laxmi.

Furthermore, her entry would bring in some spice and the audiences will get to see a love triangle in the series. In fact, Nisha has started shooting for this show, today.

toasty out of coma in saas bina sasaural

So, finally the viewers of Sony TV’s Saas Bina Sasural can heave a sigh of relief, as their favorite bahu Toasty (Aishwarya Sakhuja) will be soon coming out from her coma state.

Earlier we witnessed in the show that Toasty went missing in the show after meeting with an accident and her family members yearned to have her back in their lives. However later it was revealed that, off screen, Aishwarya was unwell, so the production house introduced the accident track in order to give her some break from work and allowed her to recuperate.

Currently, in the soap, she is back and is shown lying in a hospital in a state of coma. The Chaturvedi family has been praying for her well-being. In the upcoming episodes, a doctor will announce that Toasty can come out of coma in 72 hours, if more complications don’t crop up, or it may even take years for her to get back to normalcy.

However, sources have learned that Toasty will recover and return to the Chaturvedi family and she will be welcomed with open arms and lots of love. Rishi Khurana aka Ved said, “Aishwarya was unwell so she was away from shooting but now she is back. Furthermore, in the show, Toasty is in coma but I can’t reveal if she will get well or not. You have to watch Saas Bina…to find out.”

the late night show on colors losing trp

Actor Sumeet Raghavan, who is playing the host of The Late Night Show on Colors, has finally accepted that the show hasn’t bagged good TRPs.

He stated, “I agree that the 0.2 number must be worrying the channel. But even they know that the concept (Continuation of Jai Hind TV on the web) is a very strong property and it is also not that they had nothing else to air on the 11 pm slot, so they brought in our show and will yank if off in a couple of weeks, if it does not rate decent”.

On being asked as to what makes the web version of it a hit, Sumeet reasoned, “There could be a number of reasons, firstly we have zero publicity and secondly given the strict censorship norms of TV, we really can’t be as bold as on the web i.e. having a boldly dressed Savita Bhabi segment (spoof on well known porn comic character) would be unthinkable on TV even at the late night slot.”

Further, Sumeet even blamed the poor rating on audiences’ take on late night shows. He opined, “This slot is always given a step motherly treatment for rival channels frequently air all kinds of awards on the same day slot which does hurts our case”.

You surely have a point Sumeet and we hope your advice is paid heed to!

hunar ali wants new roles for acting skill show on

The way most of the TV actors wish, Hunar Hali too longs for versatility and wants to do different kind of roles. She is highly fond of actress Kajol and finds her as the best example of versatility. 

She says, "As an actress, I always want to be versatile. I don't want to be stereotyped where people say that she can only fit into a certain role. That's the reason I like Kajol because she is a person who is truly versatile”.

It is notable that last seen in Star Plus’ Sasural Genda Phool, the 22-year-old has now bagged her first lead role with Colors' Chhal-Sheh Aur Maat. Talking on the lines she said, “I should always do something new and different, and that's a challenge for me. This show was challenging, that's why I took it up”.

Prior to this we have seen her playing supportive roles in shows like, Grahasti, 12/24 Karol Bagh. She says it's easy to get stereotyped on the small screen. Hunar added, "When you play a bhabhi or a mother, that's when you are typecast. Once a mother always a mother. I am a young girl, and I have so far played roles of young girls only...so I don't fear being typecast as of now”.

Quite true Hunar and we hope that your show will keep on getting good numbers!

TV actress Preeti Choudhary new kairi girl on colors tv
It’s a fact that in order to gain something you have to lose something. Life is all about compromises only. And this is true with TV actress Preeti Choudhary, who is currently seen as Ambi in Colors’ new show Kairi.

Preeti earlier also has been a part of many popular shows like Havan, Wo Rehane Wali Mehlo Ki, Hum Ladkiyaan and Yahaan Main Ghar Ghar Kheli. But she is playing the lead for the first time with Kairi.

However, everything was not so easy for her, as to become an actress she had to lie to her parents. This is what Preeti has to say about the same, “I always wanted to be an actress. Some three years ago, while I was doing my B.com I told my parents that I have to visit Mumbai to attend a friend’s wedding. But my family is very conservative and they declined. My stubbornness won the battle in the end and I visited the city of dreams for 10 days. And all thanks to my school friends who stayed in the city, I gave some auditions and went back home to Ghaziabad (UP),”

On her second visit to the city she got selected for Hum Ladkiyaan and again she had to make an excuse from her parents, further to add she says," I told my parents that I have got a job in Mumbai; but they were reluctant. I, on the other hand, was sure of what I wanted to do so I came to Mumbai”.

Well, we hope that they must have understood your passion for acting now!
