Desi Galaxy

We have two results to share with you. One is the poll that we conducted here at Desi Galaxy where we asked our readers to vote for their favorite Indian Premier League Cricket team. The other one is the latest points table result of Indian Premier League.

Surprisingly, it feels like the teams that were favorite among our readers are not doing so well in the tournament so far. For example Shahrukh Khan’s Kolkatta Knight Riders is the favorite team of our readers with 427 votes. But Kokatta Knight Riders didn’t perform well and they are currently at the 6th place in IPL points table. They played six matches and lost four of them. Which is something none of us expected. But now they have Shoaib Akhter so lets hope that it will help them improve their position in the tournament. However Shoaib Akhter is an inconsistent performer he will not be immidiately available to join his team against Bangalore.

Mumbai Indians were the second most favorite team among our readers. They are on the fifth position on the IPL points table. They played 7 matches won 3 and lost 4.

Rajasthan Royals team was the least favorite among our readers while it is at the second position on the Indian Premier League Cricket Tournament’s points table. I think we all under estimated them and hopefully they will continue to prove us all wrong. Kings XI Punjab was the second least favorite team on our poll and they are currently leading the Points Table at the IPL with 10 points. They played 7 matches and lost only 2.

The final results of Indian Premier League Cricket tournament would be surprising for all of us. This is the beauty of this new 20twenty format. The underdogs can beat the biggest names of traditional test and one day Cricket.

Another MMS clip made in the University of Mumbai’s Kalina campus has sparked another scandal. The mms video clip shows two students of the university having sex on the floor of the student council office. The faces of both students are not visible in the video but the male student is the general secretary of the University’s student council. He is affiliated with Samatvadi Chatrabharati party.

Since the student polls are due in two months it seems like this new MMS clip scandal is politically motivated. According to police, the man who filed the complain and informed the media is National Students Union of India’s president Sadaf Aboli. Mr. Aboli has previously accused a college professor of sexually harassing a female student. However the professor was given clean chit by police. It looks like Aboli is a person with a very dangerous and dirty mind. Aboli told the media that they were at the second floor when they hear noises coming from the ground floor office. They went down to invesitgate, when the peered from the window they saw General Seceratry making out with a girl.

Meanwhile the accused male student claims to be innocent. He says that he was not involved in any such incident. His party’s senior leader claims that the boy shares a brotherly love with the girl in the mms clip.

It is not the first time that MMS video clips caused serious problems, previously a girl from Jamshedpur became a victim of such an incident. MMS videos are used for marketing latest bollywood movies and music albums and are very effective marketing. But such viral and pornographic desi mms clips are most of the time illegal and they cause serious damage to the lives of innocent girls on these videos.

Indian Premier League is starting tomorrow April 18. This is India’s way to mix up sports with entertainment and generating lots of dollars. It is reported that the television rights to broadcast Indian Premier League cricket matches are sold out for more than a Billion Dollar. The franchises were bought for a total of $750 million. The marketing budget of the tournament exceeds $120 million.

Tomorrow Bangalore Royal Challengers and Kolkata Knight Riders will combat at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium Bangalore. Remember that Kolkatta Knight Riders is owned by Shahrukh Khan who will be accompanying his team. Most probably he will appear in the feild with bottles of water in his hands. The team is led by Saurav Ganguly and has batsmen like Ricky Ponting and Salman Butt. It is still unclear whether or not Shoaib Akhter the fastest bowler in the world would be playing for Kolkatta Knight Riders. Shoaib was banned to play cricket for five years by Pakistan Cricket board. However he is appearing before an applet tribunal and Shahrukh Khan is still hopeful that Shoaib will join the team.

Cricinfo and many other Cricket websites announced that they will not be covering the Indian Premier League after the IPL imposed insanely strict regulations on their rights to cover the matches. CricInfo presented their point of view on the website.

Our worst fears have come to pass. Cricinfo, and all other cricket websites, who serve millions of cricket fans, have been subjected to a crassly discriminatory set of regulations by the Indian Premier League that seek to severely undermine our ability to cover the event. Cricinfo’s journalists have been barred from entering the press box, and it has been made clear that agencies will not be able to sell us match pictures.

The Financial Express reports that Indian Premier League has declared peace with media. They had to do that. All these Cricket websites, blogs, portals and forums are actually very good for the publicity and further marketing of the IPL brand.

If I were to write a review for this movie in just one word then it would be total krap. I know these are two words but I wanted to use ‘K’. I am so disappointed that I would very much like to end this review here. But I know you my dear readers want to listen more about this movie. It has a nice cast, had the publicity of having three item songs performed by Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Raakhi Sawant. And you have heard that it has a wicked plot and you were promised that it will be a fun movie that you can enjoy with your family. I watched this movie for all the same reasons and I am disappointed.

Story of Krazzy 4:
The plot of this movie revolves around four mental patients. Though they are having different mental problems but all four of them are treated by Dr. Sonali (Juhi Chawla). One day Dr. Sonali takes them out to run some errands. While they are at it, some bad guys kidnap Dr. Sonali. Now it is up to the krazzy 4 team to help Dr. Sonali, but since they are mentally ill no one believes them and they decide to rescue Dr. Sonali on their own.

Review:
This clever plot comes from 80’s Malyalam movie ‘Mukilla Rajyathu’. The plot is wicked and has plenty of room for comedy, emotion, twists, suspence and thrill. But unfortunately director Jaideep Sen fails miserably to give the proper treatment to the plot. With a cast of brilliant actors Irfan Khan, Arshan Warsi, Suresh Menon and Rajpal Yadav, the audience expected a brilliant movie. The actors did really well to fit in their role but the script and dialogues of the movie were so bad that there was literally no room to perform. The movie was full of old and poor jokes.

To spice up a badly treated movie the producers decided to add a few item songs to increase the box office appeal of the movie. Unfortunately the movie of Krazzy 4 is very disappointing, check out Megha Menon’s review of the Krazzy 4 music. It has the item songs filmed on Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Raakhi Sawant. The two item songs caused a controversy when music composer Ram Sampath alleged that the music of these two songs are copied from a Sony Ericsson advertisement, composed by him. The producer Rakesh Roshan reached an out-of-court settlement with the composer. These two songs were not even worth stealing.

Overall this movie was boring, disappointing and at some points very annoying too. Still I think that the actors performed quite well and people can atleast watch this movie for once and then they are free to hate this movie.

Kangana Ranaut is the new hot spicy thing after Mallika Sherawat. Though we loved Mallika for giving us chances to fill our blog posts with gossip, pictures and controversies. But it seems like Mallika has sobred and she is now “really” focused on her career as an actress. But bollywood had always been full of girls who always provided us hot new content. I feel that Kangana is the new Mallika Sherawat.

She appeared nude on the cover of the Stardust’s 2007 annual issue. Claiming that she wasn’t nude at all:

I was wearing a body suit all the time and whats the big deal about that photo? Are any of my vital organs seen? I haven’t posed nude at all.

Apart from her sleazy, hot and sexy pictures she is also popular for her bold kissing scenes with Emran Hashmi and Upen Patel. See this video of Emran Hashmi and Kangana Ranaut kissing.

Recently Kangana’s driver filed a complain against her in a local police station for physical assualt. According to the complain the driver reported that Kangana Ranaut slapped him infront of her sister and make up man who also attempted to hit the driver. The poor driver’s only fault was that he bumped into another vehicle accidentally while driving Kangana to film studios.

Rediff.com recently held a survery where they asked the readers to name Bollywood’s most over rated actors. Guess what? Shahrukh Khan has won the title. There is no doubt that he is the King of Bollywood but also there is no doubt that he is not such a great actor. He had been lucky with all the Yash Raj/Karan Johar camp’s romantic comedies. Some voters mentioned that he displayed fairly good acting skills in movies like Swades and Chak De. I don’t agree with them, I think Swades didn’t work just because of his over acting. Same goes for Paheli where he and Rani Mukherjee over acted through out the movie.

In the same survey we have Kareena Kapoor as the third most over rated actress and Aishwarya Rai at number four. I totally agree with every one who voted. However I would like to remind myself once again that it is not about acting its about how entertaining they are. I particularly enjoyed Aishwarya’s pathetic attempt to portray Umrao Jaan and failing miserably and in Joodha Akbar where she looked more Umrao Jaan than Joodha.

Deepika Padukone appeared to watch a few cricket matches and talked a few cricketers casually. Media made stories out of her interest in Cricket and made it look like she is dating either Dhoni or Yuvraj Singh. Even Yuvraj felt like he is falling love with Deepika. How could any one be that stupid? I mean how could a girl, who is only 22 years old, who has just started her career in movies with a blockbuster hit, could afford to fall in love with a Cricketer? It is good to be linked up with as many famous and handsome guys as possible, but taking it longer than a week is not good for Deepika’s newly shaped up Dream Girl image. It is reported that in national media that Deepika was really seeing Yuvraj Singh and flew all the way to Australia just to greet him on his birthday. As soon as she returned back to her filmi life she sent an SMS to Yuvraj telling him that she has found someone else.

Apprantely this some one else is none-other than Ranbir Kapoor. Now Ranbir also had a story of getting linked up with a few actoresses. He was first linked with Sonam Kapoor and then with Deepika. It seemed like media liked Yuvraj+Deepika combination much better and they kept running stories about them. So finally Deepika and Ranbir had to openly admit that they are dating.  Recently Ranbir told all about his relationship with Deepika in an interview. He admitted that they are seeing each other and they do not have any plans to get married immidiately. In another interview Deepika told that she has met Ranbir’s parents, not as a co-star but as their son’s girlfriend.

What happened to poor Yuvraj? Well, Yuvraj has a taste for Bollywood girls. He first dated Kim Sharma, then Deepika for a few weeks and now it is rumored that he is dating Raima Sen.
