Happy birthday to Abhishek Bacchan.

Happy birthday to Abhishek Bacchan.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Abhishek Bacchan on 5th February, 2011. He had entertained the viewers over the last 10 years and is expected to do even better in the years to come.

Being the son of superstars Amitabh Bacchan and Jaya Bacchan, he had a great challenge in terms of proving himself in the early part of his career. He got chance in good films like JP Dutta’s Refugee, Dhai Aksar Prem Ki, Bombai Se Aya Mera Dost, but due to comparison of him with his father, his performance was not appreciated inspite of the success of the film.

Then he formed a fantastic pair with actress Rani Mukherjee and his career took a turn. His film Yuva was very successful. He played a negative character in the film opposite Rani Mukherjee. The film was related to the violent scenario in Kolkata caused by politics in academic institutions and the loss to the students due to such unrest. Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi did extremely well in the film along with Abhishek Bacchan.

Abhishek Bacchan and Rani Mukherjee complimented each other in the film Bunty Aur Babli. Both of them took the recourse of falsehood and duped different people all across the country. Before their plan was unearthed they left the place and got involved in other crimes. The music in the film composed by Shankar- Ehsaan-Loy became super hit with popular songs like “dharak dharak”, “chup chupke chup chupke”, “bunty aur babli”, “kajra re kajra re”, etc. Aishwarya Rai amused the viewers with her item number in the film titled “kajra re”. Big B also did well in the film in the role of police inspector.

Abhishek Bacchan did well in the film Dhoom-2 opposite Hrithik Roshan. He investigated the significant operations carried out by Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai who were international thieves and stole expensive items from museums and art galleries. Abhishek Bacchan arrested Hrithik Roshan at the end of the film but did not confine him after he disclosed the places where he stored the stolen items.

His other hit films included Guru, opposite Aishwarya Rai and Dostana opposite John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra. In 2009 his film Dilli 6 had been released where he did extremely well opposite Sonam Kapoor and veteran actors in the film.

At the end of the year he acted in a critically acclaimed film Paa. The film was directed by Balki. Big played the role of the son of Abhishek Bacchan and Vidya Balan played the role of the his wife. Big B died at the end of the film. Big B and Vidya Balan received the best actor and best actress award in 2010 star screen awards for their performance in the film Paa. Abhishek Bacchan played his role of a politician in style.

His tall height and deep voice impressed the viewers over the last few years and the viewers are looked forward to his depiction of the character Ram that he played in director Mani Ratnam’s film Ravan. Unfortunately the film Raavan did not do great business.

The same was the fate of his film Khelenge Hum Je Jaan Se directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar. But Abhishek Bacchan played the role of freedom fighter Masterda Surjo Sen who was involved in Chattagram Astragarh Lunthon during the colonial period. He will test his luck in 2011 with the films Game and Dum Maro Dum which are going to be released very soon. The viewers wish that these films do well and bring back the stardom of Abhishek Bacchan.

Salman Khan and Vidya Balan won the Star Entertainment Awards 2010.

Salman Khan and Vidya Balan won the Star Entertainment awards 2010.

Salman Khan after giving the greatest business of bollywood of the year 2010, with the success of film Dabaang had won the Star Entertainment Award 2010 for the best actor of the year. He won it to everyone’s surprise. He did not attend the award ceremony shown in Star Plus Channel, but his brother Arbaaz Khan and his wife Malaika Arora Khan took the award on his behalf. He said that he was surprised that Salman Khan had no luck in getting best actor awards previously inspite of giving huge blockbusters in the last 20 years. Vidya Balan won the best actress award for her brilliant performance in the film Ishqiya.

Veteran actor Dharmender won life time achievement award for his immense contribution in bollywood films. Jeetender and Asha Parekh presented the award. Amitabh Bacchan won the actor of the decade award. Aishwarya Rai won the actress of the decade award.

Ranbir Kapoor won the star entertainment award for the best young talent of the decade. He did not attend the ceremony but Rishi Kapoor received the award on his behalf. Priyanka Chopra won the star entertainment award for the best young female talent of the decade.

The best director of the award was won by Abhinav Kashyap for his direction in the film Dabaang. The award for the most entertaining film of the year was also won by Dabaang. It was very obvious that after doing a business worth Rs 150 crores it would emerge as the greatest winner.

The director of the decade award went to Raju Hirani. The most entertaining film of the decade went to the film The Three Idiots. There were some good star performances of Rani Mukherjee and Akshay Kumar. The awards rewarded the better performers for their hard work.

Is Katrina Kaif involved in slaying men like Ash?

Is Katrina Kaif involved in slaying men like Ash?

The viewers of bollywood films wonder whether Katrina Kaif is in involved in slaying men like Aishwarya Rai did in the past. In the advertisement world Katrina Kaif had been the celebrity who had replaced Aishwarya Rai in maximum number of brands. Even in switching boyfriends, the same had been the story.
Just like Aishwarya Rai, even the pretty-faced Katrina Kaif is pretty skilled in slaying men with her killer looks. Katrina, who is being counted as one of Bolly oaks’ leading ladies, has now severed ties with her Godfather and ex mentor Salman Khan.
Reasons of her slitsvilla with Salman haven’t been officially unleashed but seems like Katrina wasn’t keen to settle down with an ageing guy who is 20 years older than her. Meanwhile, tongues have been wagging hard with her sizzling chemistry with Rajneeti actor Ranbir Kapoor.
Ranbir, himself, has been going single after a scandalous break-up with the leggy Deepika Padukone and is ready to mingle. And he does like Katrina.
However, Katrina is currently bonding big time with Hrithik Roshan, her co-star from Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’. Both are pretty much into each other and getting along like a house on fire. They do while away their free time chatting and laughing.
But thanks to Hrithik’s loyalty towards wife Suzanne, not much is being made of his thriving friendship with Katrina. After Salman, it would be interesting to see which man enters Katty’s life next!
Aishwarya Rai, did not gain a lot from switching from Salman Khan to Vivek Oberoi to Abhishek Bacchan. In the last three years her stardom was below Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra. In fact the most successful period of her career hovered at a period when there were no gossips relating to her personal life.
Katrina Kaif’s real test will be two three years from now, when she has to face the young brigade of actresses who would be five six years younger than her. Bollywood actresses in the recent past did not do well after they reached 30 years of age. Viewers hope that gossips do not stand in the way of fair performance in leading roles of Katrina Kaif in future.

Raavan had remained the greatest flop of the year.

Raavan had remained the greatest flop of the year.

To the surprise of lot of critics, director Mani Ratnam’s film Raavan ended up being the greatest flop of the year. The film was released on 18th June, 2010. It was simultaneously released in Tamil as well with the title Raavanan. While the Tamil version had done good business, the hindi version was not accepted by the audience at all.

The film opened with Abhishek Bacchan jumping into water from a cliff. His gang distracted the police. The policemen were seduced and killed by the gang of Abhishek Bacchan. Aishwarya Rai was kidnapped by Abhishek Bacchan. He and his brothers Ravi Kishan and Nikhil Dwivedi almost ran a parallel government in the state. Although the police considered him terrorist, the villagers loved him.

Aishwarya Rai’s husband Vikram entered the jungle with the help of forest guard played by Govinda to release his wife. He managed to get his wife back, but Abhishek Bacchan did not kill only because he was the husband of Aishwarya Rai. But after returning back, he accused her of infidelity. At the end of the film Abhishek Bacchan was killed by the police when Vikram returned back with the police team.

The music was composed by AR Rehman. The songs “veera veera”, “behene de” had the AR Rehman touch but could not recreate the magic shown in the film Roja, 15 years back. The major reasons for the failure of the film lie in the taste of the viewers. Viewers these days are fed up of stories related to terrorism, naxalite movement, maoist attack, separatist movement, etc.

While those stories amazed the viewers at the beginning in the early 90s, when Roja became super hit, with gradual way of repeatation, these stories hardly astonished the viewers. Abhishek Bacchan, Vikram and Aishwarya Rai acted well. The leading actors can forget the fate of the film and can concentrate in their upcoming projects.

Guzaarish will storm bollywood in 2010.

Guzaarish will storm bollywood in 2010.

The film Guzaarish will storm bollywood films in 2010. Sanjay Leela Banshali had come again with a novel project. The main characters in the film had been played by Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai.

Previously Sanjay Leela Banshali had worked with Aishwarya Rai in the films Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas. Both those films ended up being blockbusters. Hrithik Roshan had previously worked with Aishwarya Rai in the films Dhoom 2 and Jodha Akbar which had appealed to the masses. In that respect Sanjay Leela Banshali had worked with a safe pair in bollywood films.

The film Guzaarish revolved around the story of a married nurse played by Aishwarya Rai and a paraplegic wheel-chair using patient played by Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik Roshan was suffering from the impairment of the motor and sensory functions of the lower limbs. He loved Aishwarya Rai and a relationship developed in the past.

The film as similarity with the film Who’s life is it anyway. Both Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan had learned Portuguese for the film. They had also sung songs for the film composed by AR Rehman who is the composer for the film. Hrithik Roshan had sung a song for the first time in this film.

He was also not allowed to cut his beard for indefinite period by Sanjay Leela Banshali till the shooting was going on. The viewers can watch the movie by middle of 2010, which is the date for scheduled release. The other artists like Adity Roy Kapoor, Monikangana Dutta also played their roles very well. With the amount of devotion shown by both Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan for putting blood and flesh in their respective roles, the film is destined to do great business.

Haappy birthday to Aishwarya Rai.

Happy birthday to Aishwarya Rai.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai on 1st November, 2009.She had been the first woman in India whose wax Statue had been made in Madam Tussadd’s Museum in London , UK.

After winning Miss World Crown she stormed Bollywood films with Jeans. Her film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam opposite Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan became super hit. Her screen presence in traditional Rajasthani dress flabbergasted the viewers. She gave elegant lips in the songs “nimura nimura” and “dhol baaje”.

She gave the best performance of her life in the film Taal. Her softness in the film opposite Ashay Khanna and Anil Kapoor charmed the viewers. AR Rehman’s music in the film was sensational. All the songs in the film became super hit including “ishq bina kya jina”, “rabba jogi”, etc. Ash in that period was at the top of her career.

She also did well opposite Anil Kapoor in the film Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai. In that film she was raped by Puru Raj Kumar and was given shelter by Anil Kapoor. After that her docile image balanced the strong performance of Anil Kapoor in the film. The film got huge box-office. Ash created spark in item numbers as well. The best example can be “kajra re kajra re” in the film Bunty Aur Babli. Gulzar wrote the lyrics which was sung by Alisha Chinoi. The music was composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. In fact the best dance performance of the film was related to the song which pulled the crowds. Aishwarya’s other hit films include Josh, Kuch Na Kaho, Sarkar Raaj, etc.

2008 was a great year for Ash. After success in the film Dhoom 2 opposite Hrithik Roshan, she amazed the viewers with her powerful performance in the film Jodha Akbar, again opposite Hrithik Roshan. If Dhoom 2 showed her westernized dimensions, Jodha Akbar proved her royal andaz. That was the best film of the year and of her career till now.

Aishwarya Rai played a very notable role in the films Bride and Prejudice and other Hollywood films. Articles after articles can be devoted on Aishwarya Rai’s Hollywood performances. Presently the viewers are waiting anxiously to see her performance in the role Sita in Mani Ratnam’s film Ravan. She will feature opposite her husband Abhishek Bacchan who will play the role of Ram in the film. The viewers expect Ash to continue the great work that she had started 15 years back.

Review of Hamara Dil Aapke Pass Hai.

Review of Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai.

Anil Kapoor had acted in different types of films in his illustrious career. In Hamara Dil Aapke Pass Hai, he did majestic work opposite Aishwarya Rai. It was Boney Kapoor’s venture which was given shape and direction by Anil Kapoor.

Anil Kapoor was a wealthy industrialist in the film. He nurtured a daughter and a son who were given birth by Anil Kapoor’s father but the paternity of the children were denied.

Aishwarya Rai saw a murder being committed by Mukesh Rishi in the open street. After the murder Ash went to the police station and lodged an FIR. After that Mukesh Rishi was arrested and kept in custody. His relative Puru Raj Kumar raped Ash after the incident and she was thrown out of her house for those reasons.

Anil Kapoor gave shelter to Ash in his house. He also gave job to her. She fulfilled the vacuum of the mother to the children he considered Ash as her mother. The song “its my family” showed the unity in the house.

But again Anil Kapoor’s father lodged a complaint against Ash in terms of dong illegal business. Anil Kapoor blasted his father that and brought Ash back.

At the end of the film when he came to know that Puru Raj Kumar raped Ash, he assaulted him and took him to the PS once more. There was a social message in the film which said that when a girl is raped in Indian society instead of pointing the finger at the rapist the society points the finger at the victim.

Many victims even fail to express what happened due to the mockery being made by the members of the society. The performance of Anil Kapoor and Ash were excellent. Even the character artists like Anupam Kher, Johnny Lever, Satish Kaushik, etc., complimented the hero and heroin in the film. The songs in the film were decent with Udit Narayan doing a great job.

In totality it was a very decent film made by Boney Kapoor having a social message.

Urbanized youths like characterless girls.

Urbanized youths like characterless girls.

Urbanized youths in the last few years had shown their affinity towards characterless girls who used to be considered as vamps or villains in the 60s and 70s. That is the reason why actresses like Bipasha Basu have equal popularity like Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor or Aishwarya Rai.

The urbanized men of this age had given up the idea of looking for wives who are god-fearing, docile, feminine which are exhibited in different films by Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor, Ash, etc. Instead they want aggressive girls like Bipasha Basu of No Entry.

Had Bipasha Basu appeared during the 60s, the characters played by her in films like Ajnabee or No Entry, would not have added her popularity. She would have been stamped the villain identity like Nadira and faced problems in getting positive roles.

But the recent trend is different. Both Katrina Kaif and Bipasha Basu acted in the same film Race. While Katrina showed her docile image, the same way as she had shown in films like Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya, or Partner, Bipasha showed her aggressive image which suits males better than women. While both the girls were crooked and playing games, Katrina’s style of execution of her character had more feminine attribute than that of Bipasha Basu. But at the end of the film her style icon image got more appreciation from the viewers due to the new tastes of urbanized youths.

Even in Ajnabee, Kareena Kapoor had a more docile image than that of Bipasha Basu. Bipasha Basu along with Akshay Kumar created a false case relating to the death of Bipasha Basu and implicated Bobby Deol for the murder. At the end of the film the truth relating to the murder mystery was unveiled and Bipasha Basu was killed. In No Entry Bipasha’s image of club dancer haunted the viewers more than sweet and feminine Lara Dutta.

Even Aishwarya Rai impressed the viewers with her docile performance in the film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Taal. But the same viewers hailed Ash with her negative image in the film Dhoom 2 opposite Hrithik Roshan.

The producers and directors should take into account the tastes of viewers of different age groups for selecting the different actors and actresses in new films.

Review of Dhoom 2.

Review of Dhoom 2.

Dhoom 2 was a film released few years back. Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai were cast in negative roles. So the producers and directors took a huge risk in giving negative roles to romantic actors and actresses of the stature of Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai.

Hrithik Roshan was an international thief. Most of his operations were done with very high quality of high-tech power. He was a master of disguises. In many operations he took make ups which compelled viewers to think that he had been statutes of museums.

Abhishek Bacchan was given the responsibility of arresting Hrithik Roshan that it was proved that Hrithik was smarter than the cops. Aishwarya Rai was the other thief who entered into a partnership with Hrithik Roshan for committing stealing operations.

Abhishek Bacchan was well supported by Bipasha Basu who also took police training. Both of them had affair and worked together to arrest Hrithik and Aishwarya. When they confronted each other, Hrithik fell from a cliff and made the police believe that he had died. But he escaped and lived a new life with Aishwarya Rai in another part of the world.

But Abhishek Bacchan arrested Hrithik Roshan at the end of the film when he found him serving in hotel industry. He did not put Hrithik behind bars as he informed him about the place where the stolen property was kept. The music of the film was super hit. All the songs in the film became extremely popular including the songs “crazy kiya re”, “dhoom machale”, “my name is ali”, etc.

The romantic locations all across the world including sunny beaches added attraction for the viewers. Bipasha Basu’s exposure in the film as usual pulled lot of crowds to the halls. Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai’s online chemisty made the viewers speechless.

Dhoom 2 did even greater business than Dhoom. Dhoom 2 even brought back the box-office of Aishwarya Rai who did not hit films in the preceding years before Dhoom 2. The film once again proved that Hrithik Roshan was a genius. His charishmatic endeavours were too good for Indian audience who were not used to see Hollywood performances.

Can Aishwarya Rai create any impact in 2009?

Can Aishwarya Rai create any impact in 2009?

The memories of viewers of bollywood films are very short. Any star who was a sensation one year back the moment any film flops lost all his or her stardom within one year itself. Till 2007, Rani Mukherjee was the number one star of bollywood. From the time Abhishek Bacchan married Aishwarya Rai, all the films of Rani Mukherjee started bouncing back in box-office.

Last year Aishwarya Rai was at the top of the world with the success of Ashutosh Gowarikar’s film Jodha Akbar. But by the time viewers will see her in the role of Sita in Mani Ratnam’s next film, the scenario of bollywood film will undergo a big transformation. Firstly Katrina Kaif had replaced Ash as brand ambassador of many companies. Although both the actresses are beauty-queens, Katrina is much younger than Ash and for those reasons Ash is facing tough competition at every level.

Besides when Katrina had given hits after hits in the last three years including Partner opposite Salman Khan and Govinda, Race opposite Akshay Khanna, Namaste London opposite Akshay Kumar, Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya opposite Salman Khan, Singh is Kinng opposite Akshay Kumar, to name a few, Ash had signed in very less number of bollywood films. Although she was busy with Hollywood films like Pink Panther, she could not have afforded to restrict her number of films as in bollywood history when a star lost stardom in the mid-30s very rarely they regained it back.

The other factor which has gone against Ash in the last few years was her inclination to act only opposite Abhishek Bacchan. If her hit films from the late 90s can be examined viewers admit that her hit films were opposite Salman Khan (Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam), Anil Kapoor and Akshay Kumar (Taal), Hrithik Roshan (Dhoom 2), to name a few. Although her films with Abhishek Bacchan like Guru did good business, they were not enough to maintain her stardom.

Also the committed fans of Ash these days wonder whether she is at all there in the rat race. So her films started losing significance in the recent years. Unless her films create magic in 2009, viewers and critics will consider the era of Ash has gone. She was number one in the past, and presently she lives her colourful memories of past.

Happy birthday to Ajay Devgan.

Happy birthday to Ajay Devgan.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Ajay Devgan on 2nd April, 2009. He had contributed a lot in bollywood films in the last 20 years. He started his career with the superhit film Phool Aur Kaante.

As his father Veeru Devgan had a great background of training actors for action sequences and Ajay Devgan started his career with the latent quality of an action hero. The action sequences in Phool Aur Kaante were excellent. Also the music of the film became hit with songs like “premi pagal awara”, “tumko milne ko dil karta hai”, etc., sung by Kumar Shanu and Alka Yagnik, which were picturized on Ajay Devgan and Madhu.

The other successful films of Ajay Devgan include Ishq, Dilwale, Pyar To Hona Hi Tha, etc. In Ishq, he acted with Amir Khan, Juhi Chawla and Kajol, and contributed well in the comedy sequences of the film. The film was based on the story of affairs between rich and poor people and the fathers of Juhi Chawla and Ajay Devgan never wanted to get their children married to poor people. The music of the film was very successful with songs like “ishq hua”, “humko tumse pyar hai”, etc.

Ajay Devgan also acted in very serious films like Raincoat opposite Aishwarya Rai, which was directed by Rituporno Ghosh, Zakhm, Gangaajal , etc. He had created an identity of a reserve actor and that image helped him in getting landmark roles for the last 10 years. His other successful films include Golmaal and Golmaal Returns.

In both Golmaal and Golmaal Returns Ajay Devgan acted with other comedians like Arshad Warsi and Tushaar Kapoor and maintained the rhythm of the film. Tushar Kapoor played the role of a deaf and dumb character in the film and at the end of the film got the job, the girl for marriage, as against the interests of his other friends.

Ajay Devgan married successful actress Kajol and both had acted together in a number of films like Pyar To Hona Hi Tha, Ishq, You, Me and Hum, etc., most of which were successful. Even Ajay Devgan’s role of a ghost in the film Kaal opposite Lara Dutta, John Abraham and others were well appreciated by viewers. His performance in patriotic roles like that of Shahid Bhagat Singh also requires special mention.

The viewers expect Ajay Devgan to continue his good work both as an actor and also producer, director in the years to come.

Hrithik did a marvelous job in Jodha Akbar, while Amir Khan had amazed the viewers with his classic performance in the film Ghajini. Sometimes filmfare awards are given to some actors or actresses who are not even thought of by most section of the people. If Shahrukh Khan wins it again for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, it will be a wonder of wonders.

Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif had given most of the hits of the year, but acting is considered separately, Priyanka should win the filmfare award for best actress for her performance in the film Fashion.

Anil Kapoor should get the best supporting actor award for his dynamic performance in the film Yuvvraaj. Similarly Kangana Ranaut and Neha Dhupia should get the same award for the female category for their performance in the films Fashion and Singh is Kinng respectively.

In respect of best composer AR Rehman has the chance of bagging it once again with his powerful music in the films Ghajini, Yuvvraaj, Jane Tu Ya Jane Na and Jodha Akbar. Vishal Shekhar had done a great job in the film Bacchna Aye Haseeno and Pritam was sublime in the films Race and Singh is Kinng.

Ghajini, Race, Jodha Akbar and Singh is Kinng should get the nominations for the best film of the year 2008. Accordingly the directors of those films have the chance of bagging the award for the best director of 2008.

In the singers list a number of male singers like Sonu Nigam, Udit Narayan, Kunal Ganjawala, Atif Aslam have the scope of getting best singer award. The female singers including Shreya Ghoshal, Sunidhi Chauhan, Alisha Chinoi, Alka Yagnik can win the best female playback singer award.

Priyanka Chopra had dominated bollywood films in 2008 with a number of releases like God Tussi Great Ho, Love Story 2050, Chamku, etc. She got the award for her dynamic performance in the film Fashion. She amazed the viewers with her various expressions in Madhur Bhandarkar’s experimental film.

Preeti Zinta and Aishwarya Rai matched Hrithik Roshan the most

Preeti Zinta and Aishwarya Rai matched Hrithik Roshan the most.

On the birthday of Hrithik Roshan on 10th January, 2009, the viewers wondered about the actresses who had matched the superstar in his illustrious career. Amongst actresses like Amisha Patel, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor and others it was Preeti Zinta and Aishwarya Rai who had matched Hrithik Roshan the most in films opposite him.

In the film Laksh and Koi Mil Gaya, Preeti Zinta complimented Hrithik Roshan with her westernized performance. In Laksh Hrithik Roshan did not have goal in life. He joined the army and but left it. Preeti Zinta was a journalist and reformed Hrithik Roshan to accept challenges in life. He joined the armed forces and did a great job during Cargill war at the borders of India and Pakistan.

In Koi Mil Gaya, Hrithik Roshan played the role of a handicapped person. Preeti Zinta was compassionate towards him and understood his feelings. She cooperated with him in his interaction with aliens and married him even after knowing his deficiencies. Koi Mil Gaya was one of the biggest hits in Hrithik Roshan’s career and Preeti Zinta contributed a lot with her romantic acting. Her lips in the song “koi mil gaya” was also very impressive.

Aishwarya Rai was the other actress who had western looks and matched Hrithik Roshan in the film Dhoom 2. Hrithik Roshan played a negative character in the form of international thief in the film. Aishwarya Rai was also an international criminal and both of them entered into a pact for the biggest stealing operations across the world.

The level of performance of both Hrithik and Ash reached standard of excellence of Hollywood films in Dhoom 2. The dance performances of both the superstars in the song “crazy kiya re” and “dhoom machale” also astonished the viewers. Hrithik Roshan in fact superseded Abhishek Bacchan in the same film with his dynamic performance inspite the fact that Abhishek Bacchan played the positive role in the form of investigator in the film.

Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai again stormed bollywood films with their brilliant performance in the film Jodha Akbar based on the life of Mughal Emperor Akbar. It was the first blockbuster of 2008.
