MOVIE REVIEW
cultural and sociological symbol in the film) when they share cold chai, there is little to suggest any serious bonding between Katrina Kaif and Imran Khanor for that matter, between the two brothers played by Ali Zafar and Imran Khan. Zafar who delighted in the satirical mode of Tere Bin Laden, returns with yet another performance that knows how overthe-top to go without toppling over. Yup, Zafar gets it pitch-perfect all the way. The same cannot be said of the film which occasionally slips into becoming a stretch.

COVER STORY
Bhool Bhulaiyaa.
The Munnis and the Sheilas of Bollywood can take a backseat for a while because the 33-year-old Vidya, even with her not so washboard abs, might just become every mans fantasy with her titillating moves, curvaceous frame, playfulness, and sensuous ways in her scenes with Naseeruddin Shah, Tusshar Kapoor and Bollywoods very own serial kisser Emraan Hashmi. With its into-the-face dialogues, the trailer itself might leave many gasping like Tusshar when Vidya says: Mujhe jo chahiye uska mazza raat ko hee aata hai and many ogling like Naseer does when she
made her Bollywood debut with Parineeta, but in the short period, the actress showed her fearless streak by roles that are as different as chalk and cheese like Ishqiya and Paa. Her choice of unconventional scripts with experimental roles that challenge the actor in her has continued to set an example of what it takes to strike the right balance between commercial and parallel cinema. If it was a lonely lover in her first movie, Bengali project Bhalo Theko, Vidya went on to show her subtle and romantic side in Parineeta. In Lage Raho Munnabhai, she was seen in a conventional role, but she played it unconventionally. Her performance in Guru as a multiple sclerosis patient may have been short, but it didnt go unnoticed. Her films Salaam-e-Ishq, Heyy Babyy and Kismat Konnection may not have done much to boost her film career, but Vidya remained dauntless. She broke all doubts about her dancing skills through her performance on the song Ami je tomar in

similar had happened to him as well, during Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. haha bro. He did the same thing to me in K3g. Gotta get our revenge !!!! Abhishek wrote back to Riteish. Meanwhile, former Bigg Boss contestant Kamaal R Khan unexpectedly suggested a better revenge: If you both Riteish and Abhishek want to take revenge then send Karan Johar to Bigg Boss5 with me pls, he tweeted.
Last years biggest Bollywood competition was between two popular songs, Sheila Ki Jawani and Munni Badnaam Hui, but in a strange turn of events, Sheila, or rather Katrina Kaif is set to become Munni. The makers of the under-production Osthi, the Tamil version of Dabangg, plagued by fears of a possible comparison between the new Munni Badnaam Hui with the original, have decided to go for a new version of the song. According to sources, they are signing Katrina Kaif for it and have reportedly set aside Rs 2.5 crore for the song. Even as readers discussed which personality they would like to see on Bigg Boss 5, actors Abhishek Bachchan and Riteish Deshmukh also tweeted their choices. And it was filmmaker Karan Johar!
Abhishek loved the idea, and replied: D! I think we should start an online petition to convince Karan Johar to join Kamaal R Khan in BIG BOSS. What say? Riteish agreed: Yes lets push for Karan Johar in BB5 -sab log shout in unison-we want KJO in BB5- (keep repeating it) hamari fariyaad kabool karooo.
The source also added that Malaika Arora Khan had made it known that she was not available for item songs outside her home banner, and talks were doing the rounds that Bipasha Basu might be roped in. However, they have now altered their plans. Sonu Sood, who will be reprising his role in Dabangg as Salman Khans brother, is apparently the reason why Kaif will be signed on. The source said, The producers were keen on Bipasha. But Sonu is pushing for Katrina. He has already informed her. Katrina always finds it hard to say no to her friends. Sood has been friends with Kaif, ever since he worked with the actress in Singh is Kinng. While in the original song, Sood has a limited screen time with Munni, in the new version, he will reportedly dance with the item girl from start to finish.
I was there in KANK too but Karan Johar thought I was best suited for the deleted scenes in d SPECIAL DVD edition, Riteish tweeted to Abhishek, referring to his deleted Karan was sportingly enough. He cameo in Karan Johars film Kabhi tweeted: thank you for your valuAlvida Na Kehna. able suggestions about my presence Abhishek claimed that something in BB5duly noted!!!
While Farah Khan choreographed the original song, Saroj Khan will work on the new version. A source said, Saroj has just completed a great number for Prabhu Devas Rowdy Rathore. When Osthis director S Darani learnt about it, he decided on Saroj.
When asked about his friendship with Kaif and her casting, Sood said, At the moment, all I can say is Katrina is a dear friend. Beyond that Im not in a position to comment.
And yes, this time Ill have a lot more dancing to do. He added, I am looking forward to that since my According to the source, Osthis dancing partner is someone extraormakers decided to tweak the original dinarily beautiful. song because of copyright reasons.

Scarlet is the name. Scarlet Mellish Wilson. This English girl is the latest item bomb to hit Bollywood. And according to director Dibakar Bannerjee she knows the Bollywood moves better than any desi girl. Hence her add-on presence in Dibakar Bannerjees shanghai. Apparently the original plan was to get Katrina Kaif to do the very desi very earthy item song in Shanghai. Says a source, Katrina is a friend of Dibakars. In fact he was supposed to do film with Katrina and Imran Khan. Ever since then the two have remained in touch. There was a situation in Shanghai where an item song was required to be performed for a bunch of politicians. Dibakar thought Katrinas dancing abilities could be given a completely different spin. But then someone recommended Scarlet. Dibakar cant stop raving about his new item girl. Someone recommended Scarlet for our item song. I couldnt believe how well she danced!

at the age of seventeen, he sailed for England. He became a student in a public school in Brighton. A year later, he went on to study law at University College London. Whilst in England, Tagore first heard opera and the Western singing style. He was amazed at how perfect the performance was. He felt that western and Eastern cultures were needed to be integrated together. He began listening to and learning more about European music. Being very musical, Tagore quickly learned the Irish, Scottish and English tunes that he had heard in London and Brighton. Soon after Tagore returned from England to Kolkata, he began composing musical plays based on western lyrics which produced one of his famous Dance-Drama Kal Mrigaya. The Dance-Drama Kal Mrigaya is based on a story from the epic RAMAYANA where Dasharatha, the valiant King and an archer of repute was on a hunting spree with his band of kingsmen. One blind Sage Rishi feels thirsty and asks his young son (Rishi Kumar) to bring him water. But a sudden clap of thunder changes his mind. Rishi massacring all animals in their path. The King chasing a young elephant which eluded him in thick forest arriving by the river, he hears drinking. He shoots in the direction of the sound killing Rishi Kumar. With his dying breath, Rishi begs Dasharath to carry him back to his father. In his hut, the Sage and a young girl Lila waiting anxiously. The remorseful Dasharath enters bearing the body of Rishi Kumar. He breaks the news to the Sage that he has unwittingly killed his son. Devastated, the Sage curses the King and even though Dasharath begs for the Sages forgiveness which the Sage give him at last, the curse lives on in the Ramayana. The world is now facing a big challenge due to Social, Political, Economic instability. Some countries and their people have involved violence with each other which not only increasing poverty but also many people including children are being killed. This violence needs to be end for the benefit of the whole nation and for the entire world. Bhabnas purpose to present this Dance-Drama will definitely carry a strong message to the audiences to protest against the violence and forgive people for peaceful life.
