Tees Maar Khan will do well.

Tees Maar Khan will do well.

Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif’s new film Tees Maar Khan will do well. The film had been released on 24th December, 2010, before Christmas. Farah Khan had directed the film. The film had been produced by Shirish Kunder, Twinkle Khanna and Ronnie Screwwala. Vishal Shekhar and Shrish Kunder had composed music for the film.

The film is related to the story of a great thief played by Akshay Kumar. He had played the lead role in the film. Katrina Kaif had been an actress in the film. She had got a lot of help from Akshay Kumar and in term had helped him. Akshay Khanna is the other major character in the film who knew about Akshay Kumar’s activities.

In the film guest performances were given by Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan. Salman Khan had danced in the song “wallah re wallah” along with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif. Sanjay Dutt had been the narrator in the film.

The story of the film had not been unique. But the good part of the film had been its music and the dance performances. Sonu Nigam had experimented with the style of singing in the song “tees maar khan” where he had shown his versatility. Sunidhi Chauhan and Vishal Dadhlani had done a brilliant job in the song “Sheila ki jawani”, which had been the most popular song in the film. Katrina Kaif had danced well in the song sequence.

The other song “wallah re wallah” had also been very catchy. Kamal Khan, Raja Hassan, Shreya Ghoshal and others had sung the song very well. Star performances of Salman Khan, and performances of Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar had been very grand. Acting of Akshay Khanna had been brilliant in the film as ever.

But the film had not surprised the viewers. So there is every possibility of the film ending up being a hit but not a blockbuster. The pair of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif had been accepted by the viewers. But the film does not have the same magic as that of Singh is Kinng or Namaste London. But the film will get a decent start and do well.

Action Replayy will do well.

Action Replayy will do well.

Director Vipul Shah had experimented with an abstract subject in the film Action Replayy. But fortunately for him the screen presence and individual performance of Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar will make the film successful. His casting had been very meaningful.

In the film Aditya Roy Kapoor believed that if his parents’ marriage had been a love marriage, instead of arranged marriage then, his life would have been different. From his experience he could see that Akshay Kumar always had differences with Aishwarya Rai.

For those reasons he always ran away and avoided his girl friend Sudeepa Singh. He was asked by Sudeepa about his views on marriage. He developed a kind of apathy towards marriage. Just because his parents did not have cordial relationship, he thought that the root of major problems on earth includes marriage.

Sudeepa Singh’s grandfather Randhir Kapoor gave an ultimatum to Aditya Roy Kapoor. He told him that he failed to take a decision on marriage, he should forget his daughter. He stole his professor’s Time Machine to go the 1970s.

He continued turn time in the opposite direction. He wanted to convert his parent’s arranged marriage to love marriage. The entire film hovers around the theme in understanding the difficulty in doing so.

The music of Pritam had been impressive with hit songs like “baaki mai bhool gayi” sung by Shreya Ghoshal, “o bekhabar” sung by Shreya Ghoshal, “zor ka jhatka” sung by Daler Mehendi and Richa Sharma, “luk chup jaana” by Tulsi Kumar and KK.

The performance of Neha Dhupia, Om Puri and Aditya Roy Kapoor in the film had been brilliant. Akshay Kumar had been energetic and lively as ever. Aishwarya Rai had just gained beauty with attainment of age. She is looking even more gorgeous in her late 30s. The film should do well.

Happy birthday to Shilpa Shetty.

Happy birthday to Shilpa Shetty.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Shilpa Shetty on 8th June, 2010. She had maintained her romantic image and brilliant figure for over 15 years. She had remained indispensable for the last 15 years.

Starting her journey with Shahrukh Khan in the film Baazigaar, in the early 90s, she had acted in different types of films. She acted in romantic films like Dhadkan opposite Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty. The film had successful songs like “tum dil ki dhadkan me”. She also acted in action thrillers like Prithvi, opposite Sunil Shetty.

She was also sublime in off-beat films like Tarqueib. Nana Patekar played the role of the crime-investigator in the film. She was the friend of Tabu, the girl killed in the film. She also had speaking terms with Ashutosh Rana who was initially suspected to have murdered Tabu. Nana Patekar at the end of the film found out the murderer. But Shilpa Shetty showed her acting skills while relying to interrogation of Nana Patekar in the film.

Her performance in the film Auzaar opposite Salman Khan and Sanjay Kapoor, also require special mention. Salman Khan was a CBI investigator in the film and was given the task of investigation the unlawful business affairs of Sanjay Kapoor. In fact the underworld involvement of Paresh Rawal, the father of Sanjay Kapoor was at issue. Shilpa Shetty bridged the gap between Salman Khan and Sanjay Kapoor, after Salman convinced her that he concealed his identity for the benefit of Sanjay Kapoor, his friend. Shilpa gave brilliant lips and danced well in the songs “oye oye oye oyeoye”, and other songs composed by Anu Malik.

Shilpa Shetty had shown her comedy instincts in a number of films like Chor Machaye Shor. She played the role of the daughter of Paresh Rawal, and got attached with Bobby Deol, who was a subordinate of Paresh Rawal. He pretended to be twin brother, one having a moustache, the other without a moustache. In that comedy drama, Shilpa Shetty should her innocence and comedy instinct along with Bipasha Basu, who also played a significant role in the film.

Even at her middle age she had shown dance numbers which could have made young actresses envious about her. For example, in Dostana, released in 2008, she performed in a dance number opposite John Abraham, which amazed the viewers. After marrying Raj Kundra she had reduced signing in as many number of films as she used to do earlier. She also had bought major share of Rajasthan Royals team which played IPL cricket in 2010. She should be followed by the new generation of actresses who want to stay fit and contribute in bollywood films for more than 20 years.

Khatta Meeta has masala for entertainment.

Khatta Meeta has masala for entertainment.

Khatta Meeta has masala for entertainment. Akshay Kumar after success of Housefull would storm bollywood again this June with Khatta Meeta.

Director Priyadarshan had cast Akshay Kumar and Trisha Krishnan in the lead roles. The main subject matter of the film includes road development. The road development project is subjected to the interference of road mafias.

The contractors who take up road projects are always subjected to criticism. Priyadarshan had given a message to what type of substandard material they provide while making the roads. The strategy is to make weak roads deliberately and thereafter expecting the roads to break. Once they are damaged the same development contract again reverts back to the same contractor.

While the subject matter is serious in nature, Priyadarshan had presented it in a very light-hearted manner. He had directed the film Vellanakalude Nadu in 1989 with the same subject matter. In that way, the film was a remake of the earlier one.

Priyadarshan had composed the music of the film. He had previously provided catchy numbers in Priyadarshan’s films like Billu Barber. Urvashi Sharma and Paresh Rawal had played significant roles in the films aside Akshay Kumar and Trisha Krishnan.

Akshay Kumar is a brilliant start in the year with the success of the film Housefull. Although the film a number of stars together like Lara Dutta, Deepika Padukone, Ritesh Deshmukh, yet the credit for the success primarily to Akshay Kumar. He required hit films desperately, as his last year was very average with flop films like Chandni Chowk to China, Kambakht Ishq, 8*10 Tasveer, De Dana Dan, etc.
The viewers expect another entertaining project from Priyadarshan in June, 2010, this year.

Can Housefull bring back the stardom of Lara Dutta?

Can Housefull bring back the stardom of Lara Dutta?

April is the birthday month of Lara Dutta. She was born on 16th April, 1978. Lara Dutta is perhaps one of the most underrated actress of bollywood films in recent years. She possessed same amount of talent like that of Priyanka Chopra, yet could not attain the level that Priyanka attained within the short time. During the month of her birthday, viewers wonder whether Housefull will bring back the stardom of the attractive actress.

She started her career with Priyanka and Akshay Kumar in Andaz and showed a lot of promise. But after doing great job in films like Bardasht opposite Bobby Deol, Zinda opposite Sanjay Dutt, Bombai Se Aya Mera Dost with Abhishek Bacchan, some way or the other lost focus.

She was also not as lucky in respect of bagging important roles like Priyanka Chopra. She showed her standard of smartness and comedy instincts in films like No Entry and Partner.

No Entry is probably one of the greatest hits of Lara Dutta till now. She balanced the comedy instincts of Anil Kapoor and did outcast Bipasha Basu, Celina Jaitley and Esha Deol in the film. Her lips in the main songs in the film were also appreciated.

She was sublime in Partner opposite Salman Khan. Her lips in the songs “maria maria” and others did attract the viewers. Her acting was equally realistic. In 2009, she even showed her daring nature in accepting a role of village girl opposite Irfan Khan in the film Billu Barber. She acted hardly without any make up and brought out the innocence of a village girl in the film.

The big question lies in the minds of people whether Lara Dutta can get her stardom back with her performance in the film Housefull. She had learned scuva diving and showed acrobatic stunts which hardly any actress had done in Indian celluloid till now for the performance in the film Blue. Besides she had acted with Katrina Kaif, the reigning queen of bollywood in the same film. But inspite of her performance opposite her in that film being appreciated by the viewers, Blue was considered the biggest flop of Akshay Kumar and bollywood films released in 2009. After huge amount money being spend in underwater shooting the viewers could not appreciate the great pains taken by the entire team of Blue.

Let us hope that Lara Dutta retains her popularity with the film Housefull and provide stiff competition to Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif in future.

Housefull will be successful.

Housefull will be successful.

Sajid Khan’s new film Housefull will be very successful. The film had been produced by Sajid
Nadiawala and Sharan Kapoor. He had almost used the same team that he used in Hey Babby, except Vidya Balan

Akshay Kumar had been looking for better luck in the film. He thought that by extending friendship with other friends his luck could be brought back. He married Deepika Padukone. But Deepika Padukone could not change his destiny.

He then married Lara Dutta for better fortunes. Lara Dutta lived with him but again failed to change his destiny. At that time, he rung his friend Ritesh Deshmukh to seek his advice. Ritesh Deshmukh asked him to divorce Lara Dutta. Ritesh Deshmukh after that develops relationship with Lara Dutta.

Then an old fashioned girl Jiah Khan was brought to change the luck. It did not work. In fact the truth that Akshay Kumar had two wives was unfolded and let to complications. Arjun Rampal reacted to it.

The music of the film had been composed by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. Already the songs “papa jaa jayega”, “I don’t know what to do”, “oh girl you are mine” had become popular. The music will be successful as well.

In the past Sajid Khan had been successful with comedy films like Hey Babby. In this case also the film had good comedy punch. Besides the film had been shot in exotic locations, so the viewers would like them. Boman Irani and Randhir Kapoor played important character roles.

The film will be a big success.

Priyanka Chopra and Akshay Kumar won Lux Sabse Favourite Kaun award.

Priyanka Chopra and Akshay Kumar won Lux Sabse Favourite Kaun award.

Priyanka Chopra won the award for the best actress in Lux Sabse Favourite Kaun award. She had continued the dream run that she started in 2008. She received the award for her brilliant performance in the film Kaminey. She won the award against the other nominees like Kareena Kapoor in Kambakht Ishq, and Katrina Kaif in Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani.

Akshay Kumar won the award for the best actor in Lux Sabse Favourite Kaun award. He won the award against the other nominees like Salman Khan in Wanted, Amir Khan in Ghajini, Shahrukh Khan in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, etc. He won the award for his sheer hard work. The viewers liked him inspite of his films Chandi Chowk to China, Kambakht Ishq, Blue, not doing good business in 2009.

Sanjay Dutt won the award for the best comedian (male) for his hilarious performance in the film All the Best. Divya Dutta won the same award in the female category for her comedy performance in the film Saajan Chale Sajjanpur. The film Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani won the award for the best film. Raj Kumar Santoshi, Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and the entire team of the film should be proud about it.

Hrithik Roshan won the style icon (male) award. There is no doubt that he is probably the most stylish actor in the industry. Bipasha Basu won the most fit actress award while Shahid Kapoor won the most fit actor award.

Priyanka Chopra won the award for the most favourite ada, as against Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai. She is really having a fabulous year.

But the filmfare awards in 2010 may show different winners as few hit films had just been released and are yet to be released like Amir Khan’s The 3 idiots, Salman Khan’s Veer and Shahrukh Khan’s My name is Khan. But there is no doubt that Priyanka Chopra is still dominating bollywood films in 2010.

Happy birthday to Deepika Padukone.

Happy birthday to Deepika Padukone.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Deepika Padukone on 5th January, 2009. Deepika Padukone, the daughter of renowned badminton player Prakash Padukone, started her career in the fashion world from where the producers and directors got impressed.

She made a dream debut in the film Om Shanti Om, opposite Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh Khan was one of the biggest icons of bollywood films till 2007. Akshay Kumar had shaken up the box-office domination of Shahrukh Khan after giving many blockbusters in the last few years. It was a dream which came true for Deepika Padukone to act opposite Shahrukh Khan in the romantic blockbuster. Farah Khan and Shahrukh Khan searched a new face for the film. Deepika Padukone answered their query.

The film was related to reincarnation. Deepika Padukone and Shahrukh Khan had double roles in the film. Deepika was killed by breaking out of fire in a grand studio. The entire story of her death was recreated to bring the perpetrators of crime before the people at large. The soul of Deepika Padukone did the rest.

The film had similar story line like that of Karz. But the excellent music of the film and decent performance from Deepika Padukone and Shahrukh Khan had converted a decent film into a commercially successful mission. The songs of Sonu Nigam and others like “tumko paya hai to jaise”, “om shanty om”, “ankho me teri”, etc., became landmark hits in 2007.

Deepika Padukone bagged the best debutant award in the filmfare and Om Shanti Om bagged filmfare awards under different categories. As Deepika Padukone created a huge expectation from the performance in the first film the viewers started believing in her capability in the following films as well.

She did well again in 2008 in the film Bacchna Aye Haseeno opposite Ranbir Kapoor, Minissha Lamba and Bipasha Basu. The film was related to the story of how Ranbir Kapoor met three girls namely Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone and Minissha Lamba and how their interaction created an impact in the life of Ranbir Kapoor.

Again the fabulous locations and quality music composed by Vishal Shekhar impressed the viewers. The hit songs included “bacchna aye haseeno”, “ki mujhe pyar hai”, etc. Deepika Padukone probably matched Ranbir Kapoor the best if compared with the other performers in the same film.

In 2009, Deepika’s much awaited film Chandni Chowk To China was released in January. She had acted opposite superstar Akshay Kumar who had shown his action skills and comedy skills as well in the film. For the requirement of the film Deepika Padukone had learned martial art as well which was done by Priyanka Chopra in the past. But the film did mediocre business.

The other film of Deepika Padukone that was released in 2009 was Love Aaj Kaal. It was the film of Saif Ali Khan and he acted opposite Deepika Padukone. Although the film was related to romance in London, and the music was melodious, the viewers had very passive reaction.

The viewers expect Deepika Padukone to revive her position and continue her great work in the years to come in bollywood films and other films.

Vidya Balan requires a big hit soon.

Vidya Balan requires a big hit soon.

Vidya Balan stormed into bollywood films with successful film Parineeta. She played the character of Parineeta, the epic character of legendary writer Sarat Chandra Chatterji. Her performance opposite Saif Ai Khan and Sanjay Dutt charmed most of the viewers of bollywood.

She continued her dream run after giving a brilliant performance in the film Lage Raho Munnabhai. The film was related to Gandhigiri. Sanjay Dutt on one hand showed his level of maturity in comedy roles especially as Munnabhai. On the other hand Vidya Balan displayed her effortlessness in acting in the film. She played the role of a keeper of old age home, who faced the problem of being ousted from the place by Boman Irani. Sanjay Dutt used his Gandhigiri to convince Boman Irani was adamant. Vidya Balan’s dialogue good morning Mumbai as radio jockey and lips in the song “pal pal pal pal” amused the viewers.

After the success of Lage Raho Munnabahi, Vidya Balan got offers to act in many films like Bhoolbhulaiya, Hey Babby, etc. In Bhool Bhulaiya she even succeeded to play the role of ghost in the film Bhoolbhulaiya opposite Akshay Kumar. But to her ill luck none of these films did great business and her demand in bollywood films started decreasing.

A big section of viewers believe that ultramodern make up does not suit Vidya Balan and wherever she tried to play those roles they were not accepted by the audience at all. The best example was Hey Babby. She played the role of a girl who had settled in Australia. She came to India to attend a wedding where she got attached with Akshay Kumar. The subject relating to the little child of Vidya Balan had promise, but Vidya Balan’s make up did not help her.

The other films like Kismat Connection opposite Shahid Kapoor also did not do well in the box-office. Some way or the other she is not there in the number one spot in bollywood which is shared by Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra.
She requires a super hit film very soon to stay in the competition. There is lot of expectation from the film Paa. Already the viewers are anxious to see Big B with a strange make up in a role of a 13 year old child. Paa can change the destiny of Vidya Balan. Let us hope it does well.

Review of De Dana Dan.

Review of De Dana Dan.

Director Priyadarshan had come up with another hilarious film De Dana Dan, the sequel of Hera Pheri and Phir Hera Pheri. He had used the same team of Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty and Paresh Rawal, whom he had used in the films Hera Pheri and Phir Hera Pheri.

In this film Akshay Kumar had been shown as a butler, cook, personal attendant of rich industrialist in Singapore played by Archana Puran Singh. He had an affair with Katrina Kaif. Akshay Kumar’s friend Sunil Shetty came to Singapore to become rich but ended up being a courier delivery person. He had an affair with Sameera Reddy who was a rich girl but whose parents wanted her to get married to only a rich person.

In the meantime Paresh Rawal, who was a businessman, wanted to get Chunkey Pandey married to Sameera Reddy so that, he can get lot of money in dowry as Sameera Reddy was very rich.

Both Sunil Shetty and Akshay Kumar planned to kidnap a person to recover ransom. In that way they could get quick cash and impress their girlfriends. But things went wrong just like other Priyadarshan movies and the chaos leads to comedy instances.

Paresh Rawal, Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty again did a brilliant job. The music of Pritam had rocked bollywood even before the film had been released. Some of the hit songs include “paisa” sung by Selina, Manak E, etc., “gale lag ja” sung by Javed Ali and Ban Jyotsna, “hotty naughty” sung by Sunidhi Chauhan.

The exotic location of Singapore is going to create special attention for the viewers. Katrina Kaif and Sameera Reddy brought out their comedy instincts in style.

As a whole the film is going to be super hit and bring huge revenue to bollywood film industry

Katrina Kaif's expectation from De Dana Dan.

Katrina Kaif’s expectation from De Dana Dan.

Katrina Kaif has a big expectation from the film De Dana Dan. There are few reasons for her expectation. Firstly with the passing of time the viewers question Katrina Kaif’s consistency in providing hit films. Secondly her pair with Akshay Kumar had always given hits including Namaste London, Welcome, Singh is Kinng, etc. So the acceptability of the pair is again questioned.

In response to the first issue, the critics, directors, producers and other involved in the entertainment industry will agree that it is not possible to give hits one after the other. Eminent market strategists like Raj Kapoor even suffered the consequences of flop films like Mera Naam Joker. With change of days, months, years, the tastes of viewers also differ. At one time during Big B’s domination, action films like Sholay, Zanjeer, Deewar, rocked bollywood films. But these days with exceptions most of the action suffers end up being flops.

Although Katrina Kaif acted in hit films one after the other like Race, Partner, Welcome, etc., those films which were released this year got mediocre market like Blue. The performance of Katrina Kaif was not an issue because she got a very small role and the major contribution was made by Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt and Lara Dutta. Katrina had learned from bitter experiences that she requires few flop films to let the viewers also know it is inhuman on the part of any actress to give only hits and nothing else. But she bounced back with super hit film Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani with romantic icon Ranbir Kapoor.

Katrina Kaif had one advantage. In face she had acted in the film De Dana Dan, which had been a comedy film. It is a sequel of the films Hera Pheri and Phir Hera Pheri. Both the previous films had been super hits. The combination of Sunil Shetty, Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar had rocked bollywood before.

So there is every possibility of De Dana Dan, being a super hit film. Akshay Kumar had been cast opposite Katrina Kaif, while Sunil Shetty had been cast opposite Sameera Reddy. Let us hope that the film will do great business.

Blue did not get the opening it expected.

Blue did not get the opening it expected.

The film Blue was expected to be the year’s greatest blockbuster with crores and crores of money being invested behind the film. While the film All the best ended up being super hit, Blue received a very mediocre response.

Director Anthony D Souza got inspired by Hollywood films Jaws and The Deep and made a film related to underwater life. There was treasure hidden underneath the sea, which the three friends Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar and Zaid Khan tried to find.

Lara Dutta’s efforts in learning scuva diving had gone in vain. She had taken very daring stunts in the film Blue. She had learned underwater diving and showed the skills in the film. Even Akshay Kumar’s acrobatic stunts had gone in vain.

The main reasons for the film not doing going business is related to the negative attitude of the audience towards action films. Besides the Indian audience had not been matured enough to embrace adventurous films.

The failure of the film will have no impact on the career of Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar. Sanjay Dutt already got a hit film this year that is All the Best. Akshay Kumar can cover up the loss with his next film De Dana Dan.

The major impact of the film lies on the career of Lara Dutta. She did not get the recognition for her hit films. This time when she had really performed with her physical fitness, her effort had also gone in vain.

Whatever may be the box-office report of the film, the camera work of the film had been excellent and can influence other filmmakers in making daring films in future.

Happy birthday to Raveena Tandon.

Happy birthday to Raveen Tandon.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Raveena Tandon on 26th October, 2009. She was a versatile actress of the 90s. Initially when she joined films her performance opposite Akshay Kumar and Govinda attracted the attention of many viewers.

Her films Mohra opposite Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty, Aatish and Vijeta opposite Sanjay Dutt, Vinashak opposite Sunil Shetty got great box-office success. In Vijeta she played the role of an honest police officer who loved a lawyer Sanjay Dutt. Sanjay Dutt took law in his own hands to punish the killers of his senior lawyer played by Aloknath. Raveena realized that her superior police officer Amrish Puri was a criminal himself and sided with Paresh Rawal. The performance of Raveena in a daring role in Vijeta amazed the viewers. She also showed her comedy skills in the film Andaz Apna Apna opposite Ami Khan ad Salman Khan.

But later on in her career she got challenging roles. She got the national award for the best actress for her brilliant performance in the film Daman. It was related to ill-treatment of women. She was sublime in the film Shool opposite Manoj Vajpayee, where the corruption in politics was at issue.

She gave landmark performance in the film Jago opposite Sanjay Kapoor. Her daughter was raped by miscreants in local train in Mumbai and she prayed for justice in court of law. Manoj Vajpayee, the police officer in the film faced the resistance from different members of the society in proving the case.

Raveena Tandon was brilliant in the film Daava opposite Akshay Kumar. It is a pity that when she was at the peak of her career that she left films after getting married and begetting children. The viewers want her to make a return to bollywood films in character roles as she still has a lot of acting left in her.

Katrina Kaif shall continue to have her dream run.

Katrina Kaif shall continue to have her dream run.

When Katrina Kaif initially had successful films opposite leading stars of bollywood, many section of the viewers anticipated that she would not be the horse which will run a long distance. Her dialogues had to be dubbed and as she had nothing other beauty.

But Katrina Kaif in the last two years had proved herself and established her indispensability in bollywood films. She was brilliant in Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya opposite Salman Khan, in a film where the other beauties like Sushmita Sen and Isha Kopikaar were tested opposite her. Yet she came out successful. Her songs “just chill chill” created the maximum attention.

She was successful in the film Race opposite Akshay Khanna and Saif Ali Khan. The beauty of Katrina Kaif overpowered the performances of other style icons like Bipasha Basu and Sameera Reddy. Katrina Kaif was sublime in films like Welcome and Namaste London where she was the most appropriate character opposite Akshay Kumar.

Katrina Kaif was absolutely successful in the film Singh is Kingg. The song that was picturised on Katrina Kaif namely “teri ore teri ore” sung by Shreya Ghoshal received most of the awards of last year. Katrina Kaif complimented Akshay Kumar in the film.

Even in 2009, Katrina Kaif has big releases like Blue and Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani. In both these films other stars are acting along with Katrina Kaif, but the beauty of Katrina Kaif will be a big asset of the film.

These days Katrina Kaif had learned hindi and got Rajib Gandhi award for excellence in bollywood films. That had made her presence in bollywood films more material. She is expected to storm bollywood with her upcoming films and continue her dream run.

Happy birthday to Akshay Kumar.

Happy birthday to Akshay Kumar.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Akshay Kumar on 9th September, 2009. He had been probably the most popular actor of bollywood films for the last 3 years. In fact by performing in every type of films including comedy films, romantic films, action films, he showed his versatility to the maximum level.

Initially he established himself only as an action star and most of his films like Mohra, Mai Khiladi Tu Anari, International Khiladi, etc., where action actions. Akshay Kumar used his skills in martial art to the highest potential to do risky stunts.

But from the time he started acting in romantic films, he gained the confidence of ordinary mass and showed his class. His performance in the film Dhadkan, opposite Sunil Shetty and Shilpa Shetty was appreciated by every section of the audience.

He formed a brilliant combination with Katrina Kaif in the films Humko Deewana Kar Gaye, Namaste London, Welcome, etc. In Namaste London, Akshay Kumar’s truthfulness in the role of a generous Punjabi lad appealed to the masses. In fact Akshay Kumar’s simplicity was in contrast to Katrina Kaif’s rude behavior in the film. At the end of the film, Akshay Kumar simplicity won the heart of Katrina.

Akshay Kumar’s simplicity in the film Singh is Kinng, also appealed to the masses. He went to persuade his friend who became a don in Australia, to return back to Punjab. But instead, he became sick and Akshay Kumar had to lead the team. Everything happened through comedy sequences.

Akshay Kumar was sublime in his comedy performance in the film Welcome. He was brilliant opposite stalwarts like Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Feroz Khan, Paresh Rawal and others. Akshay Kumar’s dancing skills over the years had also created added flavor in bollywood films.

Although his films Chandni Chowk to China and 8*10 Tasveer released in 2009, did ordinary business, his film Kambaqht Ishq did good business. He is scheduled to bounce back with his performance in the film Blue. The viewers expect him to continue his great work in the years to come.

Happy birthday to Sunil Shetty.

Happy birthday to Sunil Shetty.

The viewers of bollywood films wish happy birthday to Sunil Shetty on 11th August 2009. Although he started his career as an action star, especially in the film Balwaan, he proved his capability in every type of role very gradually.

His combination with Akshay Kumar had been considered very grand and both the actors had given many colourful hits during their illustrious career. Mohra was a big hit. There Sunil Shetty played the role of the anti-hero who was dictated terms by Naseeruddin Shah, while Akshay Kumar played the role of an honest police-officer. Their film Dhadkan opposite Shilpa Shetty did great business. Sunil Shetty received the filmfare award for the best villain for his brilliant performance in the film. The songs in the film were extremely successful and both the stars gave brilliant lips in those songs.

Sunil Shetty started a new chapter with Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal in his career in respect of comedy films with the film Hera Pheri. Three of them acted brilliantly in the film Hera Pheri along with Tabu and other actors. The film became so successful that the director Priya Darshan was compelled to make a sequel of the film with the title Phir Hera Pheri. It became super hit too. In this film Bipasha Basu played a very significant role along with the three musketeers. The third sequel of Hera Pheri is under production at the moment.

Sunil Shetty also acted in great patriotic films like Border. JP Dutta’s blockbuster utilized the acting skills of Sunil Shetty, Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff and Akshay Khanna. The songs in the film composed by Anu Malik created history with Sonu Nigam doing a great job with “sandese ate hai”. His other hit films include Hu Tu Tu opposite Tabu, Krishna opposite Karishma Kapoor, etc.

In 2009 he is also looking forward to the release of the film Blue along with Sanjay Dutt and Akshay Kumar. The viewers provide their best wishes for the success of Blue and Sunil Shetty’s other films in future.

Akshay Kumar is looking forward to Blue.

Akshay Kumar is looking forward to Blue

Akshay Kumar, the most popular actor of bollywood films in the recent times, had an ordinary year till now. His big budget film Chandni Chowk To China did very ordinary business. His other film 8*10 Tasveer was also appreciated but the film did not end up with great profits.

He banged back with the success of the film Kambakht Ishq with Kareena Kapoor. The film became super hit and brought back part of the stardom which Akshay Kumar enjoyed in the last year. In fact in the last few years his combination with Katrina Kaif had been considered the most lucky combination in terms of success of films.

Now he is looking forward to the success in the film Blue. Blue is an underwater adventure film. The cast and crew had already created lot of anxiousness in the minds of the viewers. Besides Akshay Kumar will at along with Sunil Shetty, Sanjay Dutt, Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta and other giants of the bollywood industry. The shooting of the film had been done in exotic locations. It is going to be one of the costliest films ever

Akshay Kumar desperately requires a big hit to show his domination in bollywood films along with Shahrukh Khan or Salman Khan. The fact that he was the highest tax payer of 2009 also proves the point that on one hand he is acting in maximum number films per year and also the most successful films in the year

Most of his films released in the last three years including Namaste London, Welcome, Singh Is Kinng, ended up being blockbusters. Akshay Kumar still has lot of acting left in him. He is looking forward to Blue. His fans all across the world are also looking forward to more daring stunts from the he-man who had ruled bollywood industry for the last 5 years.

Prospect of Kareena Kapoor in 2009.

Prospect of Kareena Kapoor in 2009.

2009 is definitely going to be a testing year for Kareena Kapoor. As it has been said a number of times that the task of retaining the number one position in bollywood industry is more difficult than reaching the number one position.

Kareena Kapoor has generally four competitors namely Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai and Lara Dutta. She has an edge over the other actresses in terms of her acting potentiality which she had proved a number of times.

But these days whenever any actress crosses 30 years, or gets married the producers and directors discard them. So the period of success of the leading actresses are getting reduced day by day. Madhuri Dixit ruled bollywood films for more than ten years. But after her retirement, every year Indian celluloid saw a new reigning queen.

In 2009, Kareena’s film Kambakht Ishq did fantastic business. Kareena’s combination with Akhay Kumar entertained the viewers to a great extent. In the same year she is appearing opposite Amir Khan in film The Three Idiots and Salman Khan in the film Mr and Mrs. Khanna.

Kareena also has to face the fact that she is a bit older than Katrina Kaif or Priyanka Chopra, so obviously her demand will gradually go down. So she is inclined to sign meaningful films at the moment and try to maintain her steady market.

It is fact that Kareena Kapoor had pulled on the legacy of Raj Kapoor after Rishi Kapoor, as none of the sons of Shammi Kapoor or Shashi Kapoor could be successful in bollywood films. Wherever Kareena Kapoor even did dance numbers, her performance was appreciated. For example her performance in Don in the dance number “yeh mera dil pyar ka diwana” amazed the viewers.
The viewers are looking forward to even better performance from Kareena Kapoor in 2009 itself

The film Blue which is going to be released later this year is going to be the costliest film made ever in the history of bollywood. It has a budget over 100 crores and the standard of underwater shooting being done in the film can envy Hollywood directors.

Katrina Kaif versus Kareena Kapoor.

Katrina Kaif versus Kareena Kapoor.

After the success of the films New York and Kambakht Ishq, viewers are wondering about the ruler of bollywood film industry, whether it is Katrina Kaif or Kareena Kapoor. Both of them had been in the industry for some time.

Kareena Kapoor started her career with a bang with films like Refugee and Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai. Her beauty stole many hearts and always she was blessed with good stories and powerful direction. Her career got disturbed for two three years after start, but she came back with unconventional role in the film Chameli. From that time critics acknowledged Kareena’s acting capabilities. She got the filmfare award for her best performance in the film Jab We Met. She had a bad year in 2008, as her film Tashan failed miserably.

But 2009, she returned back in style with the film Kamakht Ishq with Akshay Kumar. She had acted with all the leading stars in bollywood including Salman Khan in Kyun Ki, Hrithik Roshan in Yaadein, Shahrukh Khan in Ashoka, Ajay Devgan in Omkara, to name a few. But her age is in the way, if she has to prove herself against Katrina Kaif who is much younger than her.

Katrina Kaif gave hit films one after the other with Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar. Her films Humko Dewaane Kar Gaye, Namaste London, Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya, became super hit. Even her comedy films like Partner and Welcome struck box-office. Even the films where she had played villanish roles, had been successful, like Race. She has the most attractive screen presence at the moment. Her success in the film New York had proved her acting capability also. It does not matter to her that she had not received filmfare awards and other awards at the moment.

The viewers agree if Kareena Kapoor has acting background, Katrina Kaif has her age in her favour, so in the long run, Katrina Kaif has the potentiality to be the winner. The war of the two beauty queens will continue as Kareena has Mr. and Mrs. Khanna opposite Salman Khan to be released this year, while Katrina Kaif has Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani opposite Ranbir Kapoor to be released this year. The other characteristic which is common between Katrina and Kareena is their affair with Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan. Both of them are involved for the last few years, yet none of them had declared their date of marriage.

The viewers wish that both Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor should give out their best in their struggle for number one spot.
