Desi Galaxy

Well you guys have already read Aamir Khan’s official blog. Honestly I am a bit jealous of Aamir. While we guys work so hard on our blogs to make them popular, these movie stars can beat us by just calling names to their colleagues. A friend of mine says that if you want more comments and link backs to your blog all you need to do is to provoke a controversy, start some controversial debate, make your voice stronger and be passionate about your ideas. I never paid attention to my friend’s advise but now he is telling me that Aamir followed his advise and now look at Aamir Khan’s blog. Thousands of comments on a single post! Here is how Aamir did it.

Aamir Khan wrote a post titled “Settlers Of Panchgani” where he mentioned that he bought a house that came with a dog which is named after Shahrukh Khan. He writes:

Shahrukh is licking my feet and I am feeding him biscuits every now and then. What more can I ask for?

Now, before you jump to any conclusions let me add that Shahrukh is the name of our dog. And before you jump to any further conclusions let me add that I had nothing to do with naming him.

The post was mentioned on almost every news channel in India. Almost every newspaper wrote about this post. Even the king of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan talked about this blog post. I can’t even imagine the traffic this single post would have generated for Aamir Khan’s blog. There are 9697 comments on this post, and I am sure that the technical team at Aamir Khan’s office must have deleted thousands of comments.

Aamir Khan is a popular super star of Hindi film industry. The fame he got is not the fame of his blogging capabilities. He is still famous as a movie actor/ director/ producer not as a blogger. However, I think he has a good sense of humor. His writing skills are not bad either. But his blog lacks interactivity, I think he should understand that blogs are not about comments and posts. He needs to upload videos, photos, and he should link back to websites he found interesting. He is already immensely popular all over the world and he is famous for working hard to achieve the perfection in his work. So he must improve on his blogging skills and since he is the pioneer celebrity blogger, he should try to set an example for other celebrities that are thinking about following his steps.

Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic is released now and it is not doing well at the box office. But I think thats how they decided to market the movie. Since it is a fun family comedy and released during summer vacations when schools are off and children are bored playing all day. So they would tell each other about the fun new movie they watched and then other children would take their parents to theaters and thats how it will pick up momentum. A friend of mine has seen the movie and she thinks that it is a wonderful movie specially for children, families and romantic comedy lovers (I don’t trust her much when it comes to selecting my movies).

Rani Mukherjee is playing the role of an angel who is sent to earth to help Saif Ali Khan. Saif is playing the role of a busy businessman who suddenly becomes responsible for taking care of four orphan children.

There are lots of similarities between Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic and Hum Tum. Both has Rani Mukherji and Saif Ali Khan, both are filmed in bright colors at trendy locations, and both use animation. Since I haven’t seen the movie yet so I can’t say how they are using the animation, graphics and visual effects. But I think that since movie is about magic so Kunal must have used animation to create magic.

This movie is really important for Rani Mukherji’s career. Her last two movies (Saawariya, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag) were big disappiontment among the masses and the critics. Media has already started talking about her getting engaged with Aditya Chopra. Which is a sign that Rani’s career is about to touch the deadly lowest level. Same thing happened with her predecessors Madhuri and Sri Devi.

The mystery of who killed Aarushi is yet to be solved but it seems like police is just as clueless as the media and general public. There was criminal neglect during the initial investigations which perhaps provided murderer a chance to destroy evidence. So far the investigations had been totally biased and one sided. The police is still unable to provide a satisfactory explanation of why a father would kill his daughter just to hide his illicit affair with a colleague.

On May 16, a 14 year old girl named Aarushi found dead at her house in Noida, at first police announced reward on missing domestic servant, a 45 year old man Hemraj. Next day police found the body of Hemraj from the terrace of the same house. Mystery: Why police didn\’t search the house properly on the first day. Another mystery is that Aarushi’s mother was in the house asleep in the room that is only a few feet away from Aarushi’s room. How come she didn’t hear anything when two people got killed in the very same house? Was she drugged or may be she is hiding something.

On May 23, police arrested Aarushi’s father Rajesh Talwar claiming that Dr. Rajesh Talwar killed her daughter and the servant after finding his daughter in an objectionable position with the guy. It was told that Dr. Talwar first murdered Hemraj and then Aarushi. The next day Aarushi’s mother claims that her husband is innocent and he didn’t kill his own daughter. The Uttar Pardesh State police kept parroting their theory of honor killing. The friends and family of the victim Aarushi raised their voice against the police campaign to defame a dead teenage girl who was brutally murdered. A new theory as motive of murder was then coined by State police that Dr. Talwar murdered his daughter Aarushi and servant Hemraj to hide his illicit affair with a colleague. Apprantely the colleague that was blamed to be having an affair with Dr. Talwar came out and denied all allegations. State police was criticised by every one for criminal neglect in the investigations. Media pressure pushed the UP government to recommend CBI investigation.

CBI registered the case against Dr. Rajesh Talwar on June 1. CBI interrogated Anita Durrani the woman blamed by state police for having an affair with Rajesh Talwar. CBI also examined the house to find the murder weapon. After that they have taken Rajesh Talwar’s compounder Krishna after initial interrogation they arrested Krishna as suspect. CBI still doesn’t think that Krishna murdered Aarushi or Hemraj but they think he might be involved in destroying or hiding the evidence of the crime. It should be clear that Aarushi was not raped before murder. Nothing valuable is reported to be missing or stolen from the house. The state police that was presenting the case as honor killing has several loop holes in their theory. No one still knows who murdered Aarushi and Hemraj. If it was her father Rajesh Talwar, then what motive he had to commit such a horrible crime? The Times of India reports that an Aarushi like case rocked Mumbai in 2000. When police arrested a father for the murder of his 16 year old girl. However, just like Aarushi’s case the policed failed to prove it in the court. The father had no motive and all evidences failed to prove anything at the court. The family of the girl then filed a complain in High court to order police for the re-investigation of the case and arrest the real killer.

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.
