Desi Galaxy

Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan did a show in Dubai together. Thats not what we are gonna talk about, the talking point is that Katrina performed very little during the show. Why? Because apparently just a couple of days before the show she fell sick and her doctors told her not to do anything stressful or hectic. She had low hemoglobin which made him too weak to perform.

It was a disaster for the organizers of the event when they found out that Katrina is unable to attend the show. These organizers sold out the show in the name of ‘A night with Katrina and Salman’, they didn’t know how they are gonna face the people who bought the tickets at the really high prices. To ease the pain of the organizers Katrina agreed to appear on stage and put together a minimal act where she neither danced nor talked much. Even this was a life saver for the organizers. If this was some foreign country they might have sued the actress for being careless and unprofessional. But these Desi bollywood lover fools paid 80 Lac Indian Rupees to Katrina Kaif for just appearing on the stage and say a few words.

Now I am not against people making money. But I am against people taking advantage of other people’s miseries. Katrina who is not known for her amazing acting or dancing skills, nor she has any critically acclaimed movie on her credit. All she does is to star in movies that revolve around other actors and she gives appearances into dances and a couple of scenes and thats it. Her recent movie Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab kahani’s box office report is a proof that she is unable to peform a lead role. But here she is getting all the money for just her looks, and honestly I don’t even think she is that pretty, is she?

There is huge speculation going around about Aishwarya Rai being pregnant. We don’t know whether or not its true. Many journalists have asked Aishwarya this question since past few days but she neither denied nor confirmed the news. She dodged the question cleverly.

What ignite the rumor was Aishwarya and Abhishek’s recent interview during the promotion of Amitabh Bachchan corporation’s movie Paa. Aishwarya and Abhishek said that they would announce a good news soon. After that media started noticing Aishwarya who has gained a little extra weight during past month. The rumor further strengthened when the news came up that Aishwarya is trying to complete her work in the coming movies before the schedule.

Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek both has told media that they are considering starting their family soon but its too early to say anything about it. They also assured media that the good news will be delievered to the media in appropriate manner and on the right time. Remember that if Aishwarya Rai gets pregnant now it will seriously effect Ben Kingsley movie on Taj Mahal in which Aishwarya is proposed the role of Mumtaz Mahal. Most probably the Bachchans dont want to let out the news before they sign a contract for this project. Remember since Bachchans are now trying to rejuvenate Amitabh Bachchan Film company, they might also want to compete for the distribution rights of Ben Kingsley’s Taj specially in local market where the Bachchan name would ensure higher returns for the company.

Recently I had a discussion with a friend about who is better Aishwarya Rai or Kareena Kapoor. I will not tell you which side I was on. But I will tell you that some really good points were raised in favor of and against both actresses. Certainly we agree that both Kareena and Aishwarya are fine actresses and has done some really good movies. However, Kareena has failed to get roles that would get her more critical acclaim. On the other hand Aishwarya Rai had been very successful in getting roles that won her praise from critics and masses. Aishwarya’s roles in the movies like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, Jodha Akbar, and Umrao Jaan were well written and had a lot more room for her to show her talents.

Kareena’s performances are appreciated by critics in movies like Chambeli, Om Kara, and Jab We Met. But none of her roles were as strong as Paroo or Princess Jodha. Kareena is more famous among the young audiences. Her zero size figure and her styles are followed by many around the globe. She is always in the news, the media covers her love life more enthusiastically than her professional life.

Aishwarya on the other hand is married to Abhishek Bachchan. So their is no more juicy love affairs for the press anymore however things might get exciting if Aishwarya and Abhishek get divorced, Aishwarya would be really dumb to do that. She has done powerful roles in good movies and has some brilliant movies to come. She is trying hard to make her way into the Hollywood as well. Though she hasn’t had much success there but whatever she has done is more than any other Indian actress. While Kareena is cute and attractive in a generic way, Aishwarya is considered outstandingly and amazingly beautiful.

So what you guys think who is your favorite Aishwarya or Kareena?

Aishwarya Rai has her hands full with great movies to come. In this post we will tell you about Aishwarya Rai’s upcoming movies and why all her projects are so great. Apart from the list below remember that Aishwarya Rai will also appear in Ben Kingsley’s ‘Taj‘ in this movie Aishwarya plays the role of Mumtaz Mahal the great Mughal queen whose husband Shah Jahan made the Taj Mahal in her memory. You think this is going to be an exciting movie well have a look below and you will find out that she has more interesting movies to come. If atleast two of these movies go well on box office, then it is certain that 2010 will be Aishwarya Rai’s year and she could even beat her male colleagues in terms of box office value

Raavan
Aishwarya Rai joins Mani Ratnaam once again for the Tamil language film Raavana which is simultaneously being made in Hindi as well. The Hindi version has a slightly different cast. As I wrote in my previously post that if any one wants to cast someone from the Bachchan family they must cast atleast two of them. For example Abhishek Bachchan is doing Paa with his father Amitabh Bachchan. In Raavan you will see Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with Abhishek Bachchan. The music of Raavan is composed by academy award winning composer A. R. Rahman.

Action Replay
Action Replay is time travel movie set in 1950s. Directed by Vipul Shah, Action Replay’s cast includes Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai and Randhir Kapoor father of Karishma and Kareena Kapoor. There is a slight confusion about the movie’s plot as Warner Bros, issued a warning in the Indian Newspapers to claim that no one has rights to remake ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ in Hindi Language. Rumors are that the warning was targeted to Vipul Shah who when contacted said that his film is not based on the Curious Case of Benjamin Button and that it is actually based on a Marathi play. Whatever the case maybe, one thing is certain that Action Replay has an interesting concept.

Endhiran
Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai work together in the science fiction Tamily Language film Endhiran. It is said that the movie has the highest ever film budget in the history of Indian cinema. The film’s story is based on a Robot who falls in love with a woman. Set to be released in 2010, Endhiran will be Aishwarya Rai’s second Tamily movie in 2010.

Guzaarish
After the disastrous failure of Saawariya, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali once again signs Aishwarya Rai for his upcoming movie Guzarish. The cast of Guzarish includes Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan, music is composed by A. R. Rahman. There are Rumors that Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan will sing a song in their own voices for the movie. The story of Guzaarish will revolve around a married nurse (Aishwarya Rai) who looks after a papaplegic patient (Hrithik Roshan).

Shilpa Shetty got married to Raj Kundra, a London based businessman. 34 year old Shilpa’s career in Bollywood wasn’t as such great. But following the controversy of Big Brother Shilpa acquired an skill to remain famous for just being famous. She hasn’t worked in any worth mentioning bollywood movie since ages. But she remained in the news and now her big fat South Indian wedding is the talk of the town.

Who is Raj Kundra? He is a young millionaire from UK. Raj Kundra had an interest in Bollywood since a long time. Previously he tried to penetrate his way into Bollywood by launching Velocity Entertainment company which aimed to redistribute Hindi movies to European and North American markets. At that time in 2004, Raj Kundra told the media that he has grown up watching Hindi movies and he dreams to make it big in Bollywood. So I guess marrying a Bollywood Heroine is the dream come true for Raj.

Shilpa’s wedding got huge press coverage. It was an expansive wedding where money was no issue at all so it was bound to get media’s attention even if there was no Shilpa in the wedding. Shilpa decided to get married in South Indian style so she was dressed as a traditional South Indian bride on her wedding day. As you can see in pictures of Shilpa’s wedding.

The couple has planned to spend their honeymoon in Paradise Islands, Bahamas. According to sources Raj Kundra has booked a Luxury Suite for the couple at the Atlantic Resort. However, before leaving for the honeymoon Shilpa and her husband Raj Kundra are going to visit Oneness University in Chennai. According to the sources Shilpa and her husband are the followers of this spirtual group.

Gone are the days when Bollywood was all about fantastically choreographed dances, music, songs, romance, comedy and fun. Today’s Bollywood is becoming more and more sick and full of diseases. Every other manjor film is about the main lead actor suffering from some rare disease and the plot of these movies revolve around their hardships. Bollywood follows the trends and rare diseases are the latest trend. Bollywood’s first family the Bachchans are all about influence. And whats better way to gain influence than to win Awards? To win Awards it is important that Bachchans do projects that follow the latest trends and offer work to atleast two or members of the Bachchan family.

Paa is a the story of a 13 year old child Paa suffering from a rare genetic disorder which causes him to grow older faster than normal people. Amitabh who is 67 year old is playing the role of Paa in this movie and his son Abhishek Bachchan is playing the role of his father. The synopsis of the movie reminds me so much of Brad Pitt’s oscar winning ‘The curious case of Benjamin Button’. However, it doesn’t look like that Paa will start getting younger like Benjamin Button and I thank God for that. I can’t watch Amitabh getting younger. Forgive me but I am tired and sick of watching Amitabh in every other movie.

Abhishek Bachchan, playing the role of Paa’s father Amol Arte. Mr. Arte is an ambitious politician with a mission to save the universe. Vidya Balan plays Paa’s mother and Paresh Rawal plays the Grand father. The film’s music score is composed by Illayaraja.

I personally think that Paa the movie is a silly attempt to gain critical acclaim and emotionally blackmail the audiences into liking the sad story. Paa is also an attempt to build further upon Amitabh Bachchan’s legendary status. If the film succeeds on the box office then we will have to watch him in television ads and see him in movies like Aladin for another decade or so.

3 Idiots aka Three Idiots is Aamir Khan’s upcoming movie which is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and directed by Rajkumar Hirani the duo has worked together in the akha Mumbai me world famous series of Munna Bhai. So the expectations from the movie are great and since it has Aamir Khan playing one of the lead roles the expectations are even greater. 3 Idiots is based upon Chetan Bhagat’s novel “Five point someone” which was the highest selling English novel in India. The movie has an amazing star cast, starring Amir khan as Rancho, Madhavan as Hari, Sharman as Alok, Kareena Kapoor as Neha kurien and Boman Irani as professor Kurien.

Story of Three idiots revolves around the lives of three students (Three Idiots) at IIT Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi. The movie depicts the lives of young students in universities. The younger audience is the prime target audience of the movie. Aamir Khan has previously played the role of a college student in “Dil chata hai” and “Rang De Basanti”. Both did amazingly well at the box office.

When offered the role Amir Khan was worried to be part of this film because he did not fit into the age group. Aamir initially reluctant to play a 20 something at the age of 44. But Aamir is one of those actors who are good to get make overs for their movies to fit into roles so he worked hard to make sure that he looks younger than what he looked in “Dil Chahta hai” and “Rang De Basanti”.

Director Rajkumar Hirani has said, that he was unable to find the perfect younger combination for the three lead chracters so instead he decided to go with more experienced actors like Aamir khan, Madhavan and Sharman Joshi to do the job.

Kareena kapoor plays Aamir khan’s love interest in the movie. This is Aamir and Kareena’s first time together in a movie. Aamir Khan has done “Raja hindustani” with Kareena Kapoor’s elder sister Karishma Kapoor and the chemistry between the two looked magical on the silver screen. Today the same Aamir is coming with BeBo and audiences are curious to know if they could create the magic again. Director Rajkumar Hirani understood the need to create magic on screen so according to some sources there are three lip to lip kissing scenes between Kareena and Aamir Khan. Kajol will appear in guest role and T.V. actress Mona singh is also playing a small roll in the film.

The music of 3 Idiots is average. Song “Zoobi Doobi” is a nice song.The song video is amazing and kareena, Aamir khan look good together. Release date for the movie is December 25.Now, lets see if the movie becomes a box office hit or a flop.

With ‘My Name is Khan’, Karan Johar is trying to break free from his usual romantic comedies to step into more serious film-making. Scheduled to be released in February 2010, My Name is Khan is the story of Rizwan Khan who is detained by the U.S. authorities after 9/11/. Rizwan Khan (played by Shahrukh Khan) is a patient of Autism. It is an uncommon disease and one of the characteristics of this disease include difficulties with social interactions. The signs of Shahrukh Khan’s disease are considered by authorities as suspicious behavior.

My Name is Khan is the most anticipated movie since Devdas in 2002. Karan Johar is very careful about not leaking much of the plot details. Film’s cast and crew are also very careful when talking about the movie. Shahrukh Khan has expressed many times that ‘My Name is Khan’ is a different kind of a movie. According to Shahrukh ‘My name is Khan’ is not about terrorism. It is about relationship of an individual with the State, with a religion and with a disease. What I didn’t like about My Name is Khan’s speculated plot is that the main character Rizwan Khan attempts to meet President Barack Obama to clear his name. I can imagine that the typical Hindi movie Formula mind of Karan Johar preparing an emotional and irrational rhetoric for that moment. Karan please don’t do that, let this one be a different movie.

So there will be the usual Karan Johar style of melodrama in the movie. This movie is also highly anticipated because it brings back one of the most loved on-screen couple in Hindi Cinema, Kajol and Shahrukh. Kajol plays the role of Shahrukh Khan’s love interest Mandira Khan, a Hindu Single mom living in San Francisco.

My name is Khan’s music is composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. Who has worked with Karan Johar before and has also worked in projects produced by Karan Johar’s company Dharma Productions. The music release date is still unknown but we can be sure that its gonna be an instant hit. Despite the storyline of the movie the soundtrack would consist of songs for all moods. There will be Bhangra pop, a romantic tune, one theme song in sad and happy versions.
