Director’s choice-Best and worst Bollywood directors 2007-09-09 02:39:00 Unlike Bollywood stars, who find it relatively easy to resurge back to fame after five flops in a row, things are no cozy for directors. Ram Gopal Verma, the maverick director whose film Satya (the only film to get a 5 Star rating in Times of India) epitomized as a work of class and genius has disappointed Bollywood with ‘Ram Gopal Verma ki Aag.’ The movie which was supposed to be a tribute to the classic superhit Sholay ended up as an insulting parody, and that too with dollops of boredom. The Mumbai Mirror has reportedly stated that it takes three flops in a row for Bollywood directors to bite dust. If you can make turn around and make a good commercially successful movie after the first couple of disappointments, you may still be in the reckoning. If you still don’t mend your ways, you are as good as forgotten unless you enjoy some goodwill in the industry. As we all know, Bollywood has a short attention span.

are equally powerful if the junta's poll is any indication.In the poll conducted (see alongside) to check who is the 'asli number one, it was a pleasant surprise to see both of them doing well for themselves.It was thrilling to watch both the actors running neck to neck.

: Akshay Kumar is the Bollywood Prince of Prosperity. He has been around for the past 17 years and has performed consistently but for the last two years he has been really riding the waves.

Review Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal- Footloose! 2007-11-25 13:01:00 Review of Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal’s main fault is that it arrived after Chak de. So it gives you a déjà vu feeling. There is not much you can do with a sport subject. You have no other option but to show the underdog getting it right in the finale. In the beginning you can show feelings of aspiration, remorse, frustration, despair only to change into joy and triumph in the end. That is what Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal does. Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal plays to the field but unfortunately it deviates from its main course (some thing which Chak de never did) and goes astray. There are some flaws which stick out like sore thumbs in Goal. However to the movie’s credit, the film is yet another attempt to create something different and there are some brilliant scenes and moments in Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal. If not for the mistakes in Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal whose flaws unfortunately exceed its plus points, the movie would have been great. First the plus points: 1. Scen
Filmfare Awards 2008? A 'calculated' prediction on Bollywood Awards 2007 2007-12-09 02:37:00 --->Don't tell me it is SRK once again!Fast forward yourself a few months from now to the spree of Bollywood Awards
2007.By now I am habituated to the way awards are handed out to Bollywood films and film personalities year after year (no I ain't talking about buying "em). Whether it is Filmfare
Awards, Screen Award, Zee Cine Awards, Sansui Awards, Stardust award, Moonlitnite award (okay the last one does not exist) we know the winners are more or less the same. Except that some award functions are a little more biased (remember Zee Cine Awards giving the best movie to Gadar once when Lagaan hogged the limelight, simply because Gadar was produced by Zee entertainment), while there are other award shows that give a best movie award to a different movie just to "appear' different.The best of the lot however is the Filmfare Award which seeks to satisfy everybody (even Aamir Khan) by giving awards to one and all of the bright fraternity. Filmfare excels in giving special awards if Read more:Filmfare Awards
Darsheel Safary- "Taara Zameen' Par, a star is born! 2007-12-25 11:58:00 Let us give it upto the newest and the youngest star of Bollywood-Darsheel Safari. The ten year old actor has performed like a veteran in the flavor of the year Taare Zameen
Par. Aamir Khan's directorial vehicle Taare Zameen Par is a winner all the way; with a lot of plus points, with the biggest being Darsheel Safary. Darsheel Safari played the role of dyslexic really well. You can praise him till dogs come home. Darsheel is a student of Greenlawns High School and an apple of every girl' eye who are simply flipping over his cute rabbit toothed smile. It is not every day that you can be cuter than SRK and more effective than Aamir Khan, at the same time.. Well for all of those who want to know how Darsheel managed his studies while working hard to giving a possibly award winning performance, it was Aamir Khan who saw to it that the boy never lost out on his studies. Darsheel Safary would be advised to sleep by 10 at night and had an on-set tutor who would teach him so that
Shahrukh Khan and Akshay Kumar at Filmfare Awards 2008-03-05 14:25:14 I happened to lay my hand on the issue of Mid-day dated 28 Feb’ 2007, where AkshayKumar
was reported to have taken a dig at SRK’s expense and that a cold war was evident. I believed the story like many and being a person of average intelligence, became party to the rumors floating around. We understood how wrong we were when the 53rd Annual Filmfare
awards 2008 was actually telecast on TV.Here is a pure case of journalism going over the top and exaggerating things. This may be a small matter; an inconsequential one but it just goes to show that print media can write just about anything(most of it untrue) to create sensationalism and spread wrong signals.On February 23rd’08 Mid-day, the famous newspaper in Mumbai reported that the digs made by Saif and Shahrukh
went so far that Aksh Read more:Awards

Filmfare Awards 2008 announced, 53RD Fair One Filmfare awards, it is really a “fair one”? 2008-02-24 03:10:31 "I amfeeling likeMonjolika tonite" Filmfare
awards 2008 are finally out. Akshay Kumar fans are in for disappointment as he did not win a single award. We had predicted that he’d get the Best Actor in a Comic Role for atleast one of the 5 back to back hits he had given. Sadly the category itself was scrapped out this time. It is ironical because comedy was the toast of the year 2007. Ditto for the Filmfare Award in a Negative Role, there was no award itself…God knows why, Viveik Oberoi and Arjun Rampal who were supposed to be favorites in this category have not got their due. Now for the report card. …Shahrukh Khan won the Filmfare Best Actor award 2008 for his underplayed role of a hockey coach in Chak De India. This time Shahrukh Khan
Filmfare Awards 2008...Stay tuned 2008-02-22 02:45:07 Our readers had made a calculated prediction on FilmfareAwards
2008 at Bollywood Trends. We have agreed, argued, disagreed, acknowledged, commented-in short,gave our views and take on how the awards should and would go. The day is finally arriving.Filmfare Awards
2008 will kick off on February 23, 2008 at Yashraj Studios , Andheri. The performances of Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi and Neil Nitin Mukesh are pre-recorded . Filmfare Awards 2008 will be telecast live on Sony TV on March 2. Shahrukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan will be hosting Filmfare Awards 2008. This is the third time, they will be doing this. The Saif-Shahrukh combination has always met with a thunderous response whenever they have hosted Filmfare Awards even in the past. It was a closely guarded secret about th
Five Point Someone to be made with Aamir Khan 2008-02-15 13:31:36 ----> I am someone with 5 points!Aamir
Khan and Kareena Kapoor will team up together for the first time in Raj Kumar Hirani’s film, an adaptation of the most successful youth novel in India Five Point Some. The book Five Point Someone written by Chetan Bhagat is pacy and humorous at the same time with a “Dil Chahta Hai” feel to it. The story is about three guys Ryan, Alok and Hari(which may be played by Aamir Khan
) who are trapped in a rut called IIT. It is a warm story about friendship and romance with an IIT background. The script the movie based on Five Point Someone had exchanged several hands. The role had first gone to Shahrukh Khan, who refused it later. It was rumored that SRK refused the movie because he did not like the allegation which Vidhu Vinod Chopra(who is the produ
Aamir Khan in Delhi Belly 2008-02-14 13:52:15 Aamir is making a movie called Delhi Belly which will be directed by Swedish director Robert Nylund. As of now the movie is in the pre-production phase. The movie has an intriguing story set in the backdrop of Delhi. Aamir Khan
in fact wanted to play the character called Nitin the movie. However Aamir has decided to take a chill-pill because the past few months have been quite hectic for him. He is spending more time in giving finishing touches to Ghajini and holidaying with his children Junaid and Aira

Will Darsheel Safary win the Filmfare Best Actor Award? 2008-02-09 10:51:02 In FilmfareAward
2008, A Calculated Prediction, I had predicted that Darsheel Safary would win the Best Actor
Award for Taare Zameen Par this time breaking the trend of an adult actor winning the award everytime. Of course, the prediction has not yet come true..not yet; but there is a sure glimmer of hope that the little master Darsheel will sweep the Best Actor trophy this time…. And why shouldn’t he? The boy’s performance was simply the best. If I could find any other superlative word for the performance, I would have used that. Darsheel Safary has made the likes of L.K. Advani, Shatrughan Sinha weep with his performance. This is no child’s play to give such an impactful performance. Some of the high impact performances of Darsheel Safary are: 1. When he runs up the ter
