Shahid Kapoor on his toes literally

It takes a long time for your feet to get used to them. I used to stuff cotton on my ankles and bandage my feet before I could wear them.

He remained undeterred, and even shot a song wearing them. However, he says the memories of the juti will stay with him for a long time.

because I had to dance with them on for a song. It used to come off my feet and fly.

Their chemistry worked very well for the Vishal Bharadwaj movie, and fans are hoping to see them revive it yet again for Teri Meri Kahaani.

Katrina becomes Sheila once again

Bollywood by rage with her sizzling number Sheila Ki Jawani. So, when Zoya Akhtar started her documentary project on 100 years of Bollywood titled Sheila Ki Jawaani, it was but natural for her to rope in Katrina as Sheila for her film.Sheila in reality, Zoya chose this particular song from Tees Maar Khan as she felt it was just perfect to describe the glamour of the industry and the craziness of the fans for films and stars.

The film will borrow some portions of the song from the original and Zoya may also shoot the song again if required.

Sonakshi/ Kareena Who that Chammak Challo

Chammak Challo Chail Chabeeli from Rowdy Rathore bears similarity to Kareena Kapoor s Chammak Challo from ‘Ra.One’ not only in words but also in the fact that the two heroines bear strikingly similar look in a red saree for the song.I am also Chail Chabeeli. I would like to say when we had shot for this song, ‘Ra. One’ had not released and we had not seen that ‘Chammak Challo’ in a red saree. It’s just a co-incidence, says Sonakshi.

Both the songs are different, it was westernised but our song is full of Indian melody.

INDIAN Criticizes Bollywood Star Detention in UNITED STATE

Khan was on his way to speak at Yale University, in New Haven, Connecticut, Thursday when immigration authorities questioned him for nearly two hours at White Plains Airport in New York state.

The actor arrived at the airport from India in a private plane. He was released after getting immigration clearance.

Indian officials say External Affairs Minister S. M. Krishna has asked India's Ambassador to Washington Nirumpama Rao to take up the matter with the highest officials in the United States.

In 2009, Khan was detained for two hours at Newark Airport in the eastern U.S. state of New Jersey.

Indian Foreign Ministry officials said Friday that the "repeated" targeting of Khan is not coincidental and that a "mechanical apology" is not enough.

The Bollywood actor joked about the incident while speaking to Yale University students Thursday.

He said "Yes it always happens, it's nice. Whenever I start feeling arrogant about myself, I always take a trip to America." Khan added, "the immigration guys kick the stars out of stardom."

Sunday Preity Zinta laid to rest speculation

A lot has gone wrong for the Mohali-based franchise in the last year. Following the controversy between the BCCI and Lalit 

Modi, Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals were expelled from the league over financial irregularities. The owners moved 

court and got a stay on the injunction, whereby they were allowed to take part in the auction and play by providing a 

security of $18 million. But Kings XI Punjab still owes players about Rs28 crore for Season four and in a High Court petition 

against the BCCI, has given an undertaking that it will pay as soon as the BCCI clears its dues of Rs22 crore from Season 

three.

It’s been tedious and heart-wrenching. The dialogue with BCCI continues. At the auction, the economics changed and we started 

out at a disadvantage since we had to pay double, she sighs. We couldn’t bid for a dozen extra players, but we got the ones 

we wanted. For us it’s not so much about buying players as building a team. We have young talent and despite some unforeseen 

injuries, we’re hoping they come together under Gilly (captain Adam Gilchrist).

Pointing out that in the past, teams strong on paper have been out-played by those without stars, as she reasons that T20 is 

about great leadership and synergy. Gilly is a terrific team player and I have my hopes pinned on him. This is a crucial year 

for us, admits Preity.

Her former captain, Yuvraj Singh, has just returned home after successfully battling cancer. She says, Yuvi is a fighter and 

I hope to see him return to the field soon.

Will we see her on the field too? She admits she won’t be there for all the games now that she’s acting and producing a film, 

Ishkq In Paris. I didn’t expect my film to clash with the IPL, but we have a big schedule in India in about 10 days. There 

are a couple of other surprises in store, she says. After three-and-a-half years of saying I don’t do shows, I went on stage 

on Sunday. There’s lots happening, I’m back to doing everything.

Sanjay Dutt and Vivek Oberoi come face to face

Sanjay and Vivek Oberoi will have a face off in their next, Zilla Ghaziabad. Just like their last film together, Shootout At Lokhandwala even this one has been based on a real story wherein Vivek plays a gangster and Sanjay a cop.

A unit member says, “Both Sanju and Vivek are playing powerful larger than life characters and have quite a few confrontation scenes.” Since there is chin-to-chin fighting, we wonder it will remind them of their earlier personal equation. 

Zarine Khan actually took one of her fans for a bike ride, recently. The young guy, who is a huge fan of the Veer actress, expressed a desire to get a ride on her bicycle and to his pleasant surprise Zarine agreed to do so. The fan’s grin was way longer than the ride he was taken on.

Clash of Titans!

Two Bollywood stalwarts like Big B and Aamir Khan rarely clash at the box office. Amitabh Bachchan’s Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap and Aamir Khan’s Delhi Belly are all set to release this Friday. Both are drastically different films, but interestingly have similar marketing and publicity techniques.

Both have cashed on the burning topic ‘the age limit for drinking in Maharshtra’. While Big B tweeted about it incessantly, Imran Khan announced his plans of filing a Public Interest Litigation. Both have relied on the strategy of abuse or not to abuse. While DB has ‘in-your-face’ songs with abundant use of double meaning words and expletives, AB’s Bbuddah has beeped the abuses. Also, both Aamir and Big B have turned item boys for their respective films. With so much efforts being put in by both parties, it would be fun to see who wins this BO race on July 1.

Raveena,Not Malaika in Chaiyya Chaiyya?

Chaiyya chaiyya was composed by a.r.Rahman,written by gulzar,akd sung by Sukhwinder singh and sapna awasthi.it  featured malaika arora khan s scintillating moves atop a train,accompanied by srk and a host of background dancers.the song zoomed to the top of every hit list and Malaika arora khan has been among the top item song performer in bollywood since then.

Katrina Kaif doesn't really care how she looks

When Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif declared to tabloid!: "Dress for comfort on a long-haul flight, it doesn't matter how you look," you might be tempted to think that she is one of those stars who wouldn't care less if she was caught without make-up.

But her actions spoke louder than her words. In the midst of our interview on Thursday in Dubai, we were rudely interrupted by her hairdresser who scampered next to her to arrange her already perfect curls cascading down her shoulder. Our photographer was also given a stern instruction only to take pictures above the waist as the Raajneeti star was in her ballerina pumps. So much for her "it doesn't matter how you look" mantra.

But that aside, the brand ambassador for Etihad Airways said all the right things and drummed up enough emotion on topics that excited her. Surprisingly, the face of a UAE airline was reluctant about speaking about her best or worst holiday experience but was far more articulate when it came to being Bollywood's most searched celebrity on the internet [her name throws up a whopping 41,500,000 results on Google, previous top hit Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's name generates only 40,300,000 results].

"I think it's fun. Because, it means that people are interested in you. It's a sign that people will come and see your work. No matter how they term it - say cute, attractive or sexy. As long as I have audience acceptance, I am happy with it," said Kaif.

The 26-year-old actress, who made her Bollywood debut in the box-office debacle Boom in 2003, now has several blockbusters under her belt, including Welcome, Singh Is Kinng and Raajneeti. In less than a decade, this British-Asian actress, who started off as a pretty face with anglicised Hindi, is now being featured prominently in the Best Actress Award categories.

Excerpts from the interview:

Congratulations are in order. How does it feel to be nominated in the Best Actress category for Raajneeti at the IIFA (Indian International Film Awards) this year?

Actually, I haven't seen the nominations. Thank you for giving me the good news. It's very nice to know that the film was appreciated. It's equally amazing to know that a film of that genre [political thriller] was accepted. Even the producers didn't expect it to be a commercial success. That's a great thing.

Are you turning to more serious roles after its success?

I love all my films. I am extremely attached to them and I stand by them. My rule of thumb is if the audience has accepted a film, I don't think there's any need for discussion after that, at least not in my head.

After that, I don't look at each review or statement made about it. At the end of the day, there will be thousands of opinions since everybody is free to make it. As long as my audience accepts my films, my job is done. I remember when I took on New York, all the industry people thought it would go nowhere. But it did.

Your next film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is creating quite a buzz. What's it about?

Zindagi is one of those films like my Raajneeti or New York. It's in a different space and is not your typical comedy like Singh Is Kingg, Welcome or Ready. It's a film in which the audience has to just grab on to it and go along with it. It has an engaging story. I just hope that it will connect to the youth in a big way like Dil Chahta Hai. It has the same potential because it captures a phase in your life filled with uncertainties, that phase where there's a lot of pressure from the parents' end or pressure to conform to what the society expects of you. It talks about doing what your heart wants as opposed to what's expected of you. And I believe if that clicks with the audience, the film will be very successful in its own right.

Is there an item song like Sheila Ki Jawani (her saucy number from her latest film Tees Maar Khan) in it?

No. There's no Sheila in Zindagi because if there was an item song in every film I did, Sheila wouldn't have been such a big phenomenon. My biggest challenge is to do something different in every film. It's such a tough call as an actress. Yes, I am doing a film like My Brother Ki Dulhan, which has five songs and lots of dancing. It's your full-on commercial film, but if you take that formula again and again, then I am just opting for the easy route. That's not done.

What attracts you to a role?

As long as a film is intriguing, I will do the role. I don't know if you will term Raajneeti as a serious role, but I found it engaging. I have no interest in doing a film that is serious and that critics will like.

How does it feel to top the World's Sexiest Woman polls (FHM India magazine) and to be one of the most searched celebrities in the world?

I think it's just fun. It's similar to the feeling you get when your film or advertisement does well. It just shows acceptance in your work. It also means that people are interested in you and it's a sign that they will come and see your films. It just shows they like no matter how they term it say cute, attractive or sexy.

Do you think you are a misunderstood celebrity? (Rumour has it that she is not Miss Popular among her Bollywood peers.)

Apart from one or two incidents, I don't generally see anything of that sort. Yes, I read everything that's written about me. [Shrugs].

Are you happy with the progress you have made in Bollywood?

I can't complain. If anybody was in my place and complained, that would be very sad and ungrateful. I am extremely thankful but I can't afford to be complacent. Knowing that there are lot of filmmakers putting a lot of faith in me with different kinds of films, is my focus.

Quote unquote:

" I don't generally wear high heels and put my leg up — that's just a piece of creative liberty." — Katrina Kaif about the Etihad Airways advertisement featuring her in the background.

"Dubai is a very lucky place for me. All my successful films have been shot here. Thank you all."

"When will I get married? When somebody asks me!"

Light, feel good music in ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ (Music Review)

Film: “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara”

Music Directors: Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa

Lyricist: Javed Akhtar

Singers: Joi Barua, Suraj Jagan, Shankar Mahadevan, Vishal Dadlani, Ehsaan Noorani, Gulraj Singh, Alyssa Mendonsa, Mohit Chauhan, Farhan Akhtar, Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Maria Del Mar Fernandez, Dominique Cerejo, Clinton Cerejo and Loy Mendonca

Rating: ***

When it’s Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, the expectations from the music score are usually high and like always, the trio has managed to fulfill what was required out of them in the upcoming film “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara”. The music of the film is nothing out of the box, yet it is light, hummable and has a feel good factor.

The music album contains nine songs.

It opens with “Dil dhadakne do” that has already climbed popularity charts and is being liked by listeners. Crooned by Shankar Mahadevan, Suraj Jagan and Joi Barua, the song starts with a bang and makes its presence felt. The chorus is foot-tapping and the part that creates maximum interest. The guitar is prominent. A good start to the album.

Next in line is a multiple singer song “Ik junoon (Paint it red)” that has Shankar Mahadevan, Vishal Dadlani, Ehsaan Noorani, Alyssa Mendonsa and Gulraj Singh behind the mike. With a combination of English and Hindi lyrics, the fast-paced youthful song is nothing out of the ordinary. It is neither bad nor brilliant.

It also has a remixed version, which is equally average.

Then comes in a song with a raw and fresh feel “Khabon ke parindey” with vocals by Alyssa Mendonsa and Mohit Chauhan. The hummable mush melody is an all and all Alyssa song since Mohit enters the scene only after more than two-and-a-half minutes. However, even though he makes a brief presence, Mohit’s vocals add an edge and some kind of substance to the song. It’s a track you would like to hear in loop.

Then the actors take the mantle of singing with “Senorita”, which has been sung by Abhay Deol, Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar with ample support from Maria Del Mar Fernandez, who sings the Spanish lines in the song. A fun number, “Senorita” is catchy with Spanish influences and is a dance number. It is lively and energetic and adds colour to the album. The experiments paid off.

“Senorita” also has a remixed version.

“Der lagi lekin” is a moderately paced track, which sounds like more of an unplugged version. It has vocals by Shankar Mahadevan and slowly grows on you. It’s a sweet, simple song that picks pace towards the end.

Up next is “Sooraj ki baahon mein” by Loy Mendonsa, Dominique Cerejo and Clinton Cerejo, which is another high power track. It starts with lyrics and then music follows in. With variations in vocals, the song is worth a hear.

Finally Farhan Akhtar steps in with a philosophical monologue titled “Toh zinda ho tum”. With slight music, this almost 100-seconds narration is poetic.

On the whole, the music of “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” is a good mix of Bollywood sounds and external influences. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have stuck to their signature style and have churned out a decent score.
