ISHKQ IN PARIS Movie Review : Preity Zinta misses the bus! : Movie Reviews
The major drawback of ISHKQ IN PARIS perhaps lies in its inability to explain the reason in the story which forced Preity Zinta into commitment phobic, as the argument in the form of one flimsy story to buttress it does not sound convincing. In the same manner how Akaash falls for Ishkq is also hazy and being positioned as a rom-com this aspect needed to be dealt with some detail Read More...

HUM HAI RAAHI CAR KE Movie Review : A Ride Gone Awry : Movie Reviews
HUM HAIN RAAHI CAR KE when it was conceptualized seemed to be inspired from its hugely successful peer of the same name HUM HAIN RAHI PYAR KE, and the song from HHRPK – Bombayee se gayee Poona- seems to be the inspiration for the film HUM HAI RAAHI CAR KE, as it is a road film that is a saga of road journey from Mumbai to Pune and whatever happens in between. However, it does not stand in comparison in any manner to its illustrative peer, and falls flat on its pace. Read More...

Today Salman Khan, who has been away from twitter for quite a while, is back defending Sana's image.
Tweeting his views about Sana's 'wrongful accusation' Salman posted, "Poor sana,so sad. 1st let her b cm famous then try n get sm publicity from her. This is the problem chappo any thing galat bhi ho toh".
Further talking about the kidnapping and Sana's involvement, Salman questions, "Y wld a girl kidnap a 15 year old? Fr money? To get her married, At 4pm in a populated area.investigate the complainants. Kamaal hai yaar."
Taking the venting session ahead, Salman's third tweet was intended at defending Sana saying, "Obviously must b scared n running around n hiding, they hv a arrest warrant on her , 5 dharas , jail is not big boss`s house dude .SAD."
In his last tweet, Salman hits back at those who registered the complaint against Sana, while appealing to the general public and his fans to make a decision for themselves, "Obviously those people must have sm ulterior motives. worked vit her on bigg boss, u hv seen her fr 3months every day wat do u think ?"
Sunny Deols Singh Sahab The Great postponed
Sunny Deol starrer Singh Sahab The Great that was slated for release this August has been postponed. The film which was initially set to release on Eid, August 8, has now been shifted to October 11.
The reason behind this apparent shift is that Sunny and director Anil Sharma want to avoid clashing with the other two big releases, Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai Again and Chennai Express, slated for an Eid release.
Interestingly though, thanks to the postponement of the film, it will release alongside Ekta Kapoor's Ragini MMS 2 featuring Sunny Leone.
Katrinas sister to debut opposite Kunal Nayyar
Slow and steady seems to be the course of Katrina Kaif's younger sister Isabel's career.
She has been signed for the second lead opposite British Indian actor Kunal Nayyar in French director Jean-Francois Pouliot's Dr Cabbie. The film co-produced by Salman Khan, features Vinay Virmani who played one of the title roles in Bejoy Nambiar's undervalued David.
The story goes that Salman wanted to cast Isabel opposite Virmani. But by the time the decision was taken to cast her, it was too late.
Says a source close to the project, "The G I Joe actress Adriane Palicki had already been signed opposite Vinay. So Isabel stepped in to co-star with the film's second lead Kunal Nayyar who has worked in the hit British series The Big Bang Theory."
Sources from Canada where the film is being shot say co-producer Salman Khan is taking a keen interest in the project and in Isabel's role.
According to sources, Isabelle would make her full-fledged Bollywood debut in 2014 in a film that may be jointly co-produced by Salman and Katrina.
Speaking from Canada, the film's leading man Vinay Virmani said, "Isabel has joined our project. She's a really sweet girl, very easy-going and fun to work with."

He is a hero who deserves to be remembered and honoured. We will work hard to do justice to the portrayal of his achievements. We are currently working on the script."

A lot has been said about Abhinav Kashyap's film Besharam. Thanks to the film's lead actor Ranbir Kapoor's popularity, the film has been gaining much buzz. Now we hear that Javed Jaffrey will also be seen in the film.
Interestingly though Jaffrey will be seen in a negative role in Besharam.
