'Kites' In Spanish


Today’s movies are fast being remade into other languages and versions. There is no language barrier as such. There has been a Tamil version of Aishwarya’s ‘Ravan’. Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Kites’ is now ready for a flying start. The Hindi version is roughly a quarter and two hours of duration and the English version is an hour and a half. The Hindi version of ‘Kites’ has still not hit the screens and the flick already has an English version. Both of these versions – Hindi and English are to be released in May.
‘Kites’ will also be having a Spanish version. This, though, has some time to go before the world will get to see it. It is good news for the fans of Barbara Mori, as they will get to enjoy her stint in Spanish and the Hindi and the English versions will be catered to worldwide audience – the Indians and the English-speaking world alike.

Kareena plays Shah Rukh’s wife


In their next movie, Shah Rukh and Kareena play a couple. The movie is Shah Rukh’s home production under Red Chillies Entertainment. The film ‘Ra.1’ is a science fiction in which Shah Rukh is a scientist. He is based in London and wants to develop a robot.
Everything is ok until now. However, what is a film without its troubles? The robot starts acting nasty and is soon a troublemaker not only in the the United Kingdom, but in the whole world. Kareena is a mom of an eight year old. However, that is London and so she obviously looks a glam wife of Shah Rukh and as usual looks more than great.

Almost a day's Shooting


Movie lovers, movie buffs or fans only get to see the glamour of the lovely looking women. They just enjoy what they see on the scene. However, one hardly spares a thought of how much goes behind the scene. Shilpa Shetty is whom we are talking about and the shooting is that of a reality show – ‘Zara Nach Ke Dikha'. Shilpa Shetty had to shoot for as long as 22 hours and that too at a stretch.
A technical glitch proved to be costly and the actress had to shoot two episodes. That is because, no one knew which would be the next date that would be suitable for all the crew. That is when Shilpa said on her blog, “Our lives are not as glamorous as they look.” The reality show goes on air from the first of May.

KJO-RGV: The fight continues

Don’t think that there are only the on-screen celebrities who have a thing or two to say against each other. The behind-the-scene celebs too are lagging far behind. We are talking about the famous and prolific filmmakers, Karan Johar and Ram Gopal Verma. The hostility towards each other got underway when RGV had a comment to pass about KJO’s ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’.
Since then there has been dearth of one taking a potshot at the other. This has gone as far as getting it on Twitter. Karan was not too far from commenting when ‘Phoonk 2’ didn’t do well at the box office. Karan had said that he hadn’t seen ‘Phoonk’ or ‘Phoonk 2’ and hoped that the third version of the film would never be made. KJO also spoke about being afraid when watching ‘Phoonk 2’ and RGV replied in his own way. How long now will this go on? Do you think the rivalry will dish out quality films?

Marriage Conundrums

That, could be termed as one of the most feared relationship conundrums. Living together and leaving? This is really a tough question to answer. There could be answers for many conundrums here in terms of a 'relationship', but this one is a sort of question which is rather tough and it seems like I am running out of ideas as to what I would have done had I found myself in such a situation. This would be like standing at crossroads and not knowing where to go inspite of having so many options at disposal. Before being married? Yes, you can say that you would not like to marry a certain guy or a girl. But after marriage you have to get along with your lifemate. It is really an issue as to what you would do at such a stage? Trying to change your hubby or wife? Well, it is difficult to change our own self, how can one expect to see a change in other person? Had changes been so easy and had I been lady of some man or a husband of a certain woman, I would have first of all changed myself so that I would never ever face such a situation again where I would have to make a choice between living or leaving my man or wife. I find it really hard to say that 'leave him' or 'leave her' is one of the options.

Housefull

There have always been newer and newer ways of promoting the film. For that the production houses are ready to spend money and are ready to innovate as well. Now, speaking about 'Housefull', they have also come up with such a unique idea. The leading stars of the film - Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Akshay Kumar, Ritiesh Deshmukh and Jiah Khan along with Arjun Rampal will be going to spend almost one full day at the house of the winner of a lucky contest. They will be travelling across Ahmadabad, Delhi, Kolkata and of course, Mumbai.
According to Sajid Nadiadwala, the producer, the stars will personally interact with their fans. The 'Housefull' team will be visiting 4 families. That will be also a lifetime experience for the fans of the stars too and will also get a chance to get up-close and personal with them. People in 'Housefull' are normal facing abnormal situations and that is where comedy takes birth. But this has to do with a lie - a white lie. Now, let's hope that all goes well with the film at the box office.

Sajid's 'Housefull'

Innovation is the name of the game, and there are some expert players to play this game. Sajid Khan is one of them. He is dishing out a 'Housefull' of entertainment, where there will be what no other director has done. Sajid has experimented with a new concept. The concept is of trying out a number of languages in the span of the whole movie. 3 hours showcase more than 3 languages. By the way, using a couple of languages like a doubler is not new. Hindi and English is simply used as a mother-tongue.
However, Punjabi, Telugu, Marathi, Urdu, Guajarati and Sindhi all are bundled into one to create a great comic experience. Lara Dutta and Boman Irani speak Gujrati. Akshay Kumar and Vindu Dara Singh speak Punjabi. Riteish speaks Marathi. Deepika and Arjun Rampal speak Telugu. Don’t forget Chunky Pande who speaks Italian. Lillete Dubey Urdu, and finally Jiah Khan and Randhir Kapoor speak Sindhi. Let us hope that this change brings about a new trend in entertainment.

Successful Marriage

There is no such a fixed formula for having a successful marriage. Had it been such, then we would never have heard the word 'divorce', don't we? Even if we say that marriages are made in heaven and performed on earth, I still do not believe in that. The reason is pretty simple. Heaven is an abode of the good god above and god is peace, god is love. Then how can the same god give sorrow and unhappiness for some couples? It is not the god who is at fault, but it is we who do not perform our duties well. Then the results are there for all of us to see. Marriages do break up. Still as you say there are some factors which are important for all the couples irrespective of where they live or from what background they come from. For example, the trust unto each other. Trust is the most important binding factor that can keep a man and a woman together for the whole of their lives. Secondly, as only trust would not help, so also there should be love for each other too. And what you have pointed out correctly speaks volumes. Understanding shown towards each other can do wonders. Caring is also a key factor. How much you care for your partner you have to show that through words and actions. If these small factors are taken into consideration, they I think, you have found the formula for a successful marriage. Then spread the word.

Love Or Owning

This situation mostly arises when you are talking about love marriage. You are saying that you love someone but till never be able to have that person. Now 'have' that person, I don't know how you interprete it as, but I think it is like spending our life together known in short as 'marriage.' From the second sentence of your discussion that you are asking in bewilderment that why one cannot own that girl or a boy one loves. It seems that you are too immature and that you don't have enough experience in life. You have not seen the world enough or the thing might be that you have not had a broken relationship. Those who have gone through, like me, will never repeat these things in life. Life is hard, you know and not all the things go according to our plans everytime. There are bound to be things that come our way with which we are not too pleased or that we have to accept unwillingly. If you talk about arranged marriage, you can love as well as own. Here you are killing two birds in one stone. That is one thing you cannot complain about.

Asin - the Brand Ambassador



There has been a very close relation of cricket and the film industry and this has got even more strength since the Indian Premier League. Shilpa Shetty, Prity Zinta, Shah Rukh Khan all are franchises or co-franchises in the IPL. Deepika Padukone is a staunch supporter of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team. Yet another beautiful name has been added to this list.
The Kochi team has not even taken to the ground yet and they already have a brand ambassador too. In the near future, the brand ambassador is likely to be declared and it is none other than the very beautiful looking Malayalee actor Asin. Yes, Asin will be the brand ambassador for the Kochi team, which will take part in the Indian Premier League from the 4th season - 2011.
Asin is a household name in the South Indian film industry. With her sizzling performances in Bollywood she has spread her horizon here too. As Asin is from South India and the team too is from South India - Kerala, she is expected to be a star attraction. She will surely pull crowds. However, for this to happen her fans will have to wait till the 4th edition of the Indian Premier League.
