Aamir, Kareena, Rani not to be seen together in TALAASH

The special promotional music video which was shot recently for the much touted film TALAASH with Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji was actually Aamir's idea.

He came up with this music video idea for a very specific purpose. It turns out that the three stars in the entire length of the film TALAASH are not seen together in one frame at any point of time. The script of the film is such that the trio - Aamir Khan, Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor doesn't have the opportunity to share the screen space.

Aamir thought something should be done so that all the three actors can be seen together. Hence he came up with the idea of doing a music video where he along with Rani and Kareena would be shaking a leg together specially for the film.

Aamir thought the audiences would like to see all three of them together as this troika has never been seen together on the screen ever. TALAASH was the opportunity and a music video would be an entertaining way to make it possible.

TALAASH is the most awaited film of the year as it will see Aamir on screens after three years post 3 IDIOTS. Not only this but it also sees the comeback of the famous GHULAM pair, Aamir-Rani, which was a huge hit with the masses then. Similarly, Aamir-Kareena pairing in 3 IDIOTS sent waves of appreciation amongst masses.

Besides the pairing, TALAASH also marks the coming back of Aamir- Farhan- Ritesh trio of DIL CHAHTA HAI fame.

"Yes its true Aamir came up with the idea of shooting a music video with all three stars together and we all instantly agreed. It is a great idea of having them together. Aamir Khan, Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor dancing together in a music video is the recipe for total entertainment," a spokesperson from Excel Entertainment says.a

Rani Mukherjee declines Vishal Bhardwaj’s movie

The Bong beauty Rani Mukherjee seems to be the new tantrum queen of Bollywood. She has declined a role offered by Vishal Bhardwaj for his next film Daayan (tentatively titled), which will be produced by Ekta Kapoor.

Daayan is a story about a man and his relationships with three women, one of whom is a witch. Sources reveal that Vishal wanted Rani to play the role of the witch. Meanwhile, Emraan Hashmi has already been cast as the male lead of the movie.

The buzz is that Rani declined the offer because she did not want to work opposite Emraan. Rani is currently working with Aamir Khan, and perhaps she now wants to focus on working with big stars and big projects. Another buzz is that Ekta too is adamant about Emraan being the lead actor. After the success of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, Emraan has emerged as the hot favourite actor in the Ekta camp.

However, Rani’s spokesperson said that Rani has no reservations about working with anybody. Also, she will sign a couple of big Bollywood projects by next fortnight and thus will have no dates for Ekta. Adding to this, the spokesperson said that whether it is the serial kisser or anyone else, Rani will never question Vishal about his casting.

Well, now the witch question, oops, we mean the big question is - if not Rani, then who will play the witch in Vishal’s next? Watch this space for more.

Rani to be queen of mafia!

The occasion was the launch of a non-fiction book 'Mafia Queens of Mumbai', based on women gangsters of the Mumbai underworld, by noted crime journalist Hussain Zaidi at a bookstore in Mumbai.

From Kamathipura to Dongri, from assassins to molls, the book is a collection that tells the stories of women who have become legends in Mumbai's streets, lanes and back-alleys. Absorbingly told, impeccably researched, Mafia Queens of Mumbai reveals a side of Mumbai's underworld that has never been seen before.

Actress Rani Mukherjee and filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj were the special guests who unveiled the book for the renowned author whose previous work includes the much acclaimed 'Black Friday: The True Story of the Bombay Bomb Blasts' which was later made into a film by Anurag Kashyap.

Guess Rani's recent portrayal of a crime journalist in 'No one killed Jessica' made her an apt choice to launch the book. Draped in a beautiful saffron sari, the actress told TOI, "I would love to play a mafia queen in a gangster film which will hopefully be an adaptation of this book. I've never played such a character and this seems to be the perfect opportunity."

We are told Rani's co-star Vidya Balan too was apparently invited but the actress couldn't make it owing to her busy shooting schedule.

Top five kissing scenes from Bollywood

Those olden days have vanished where hero and heroine represented as two beautiful red roses were rubbing against each other in order to make audiences understand a kissing scene. These days a kissing scene that is genuine and real is becoming a m

Those olden days have vanished where hero and heroine represented as two beautiful red roses were rubbing against each other in order to make audiences understand a kissing scene. These days a kissing scene that is genuine and real is becoming a mandate and nothing is as sexy as compiling a list of top five kissing scenes from the grand movies of Bollywood.

1. Madhuri & Vinod Khanna


The number 1 kissing scene that was quite hot was shared compassionately by young and beautiful Madhuri and Vinod Khanna who was much senior looking in the movie `Dayawan'. It was truly sensual where Madhuri played the role of a prostitute and Vinod Khanna was a gangster who was newly coming up. `Dayawan' is still today remembered by many people for this kissing scene between the lead pairs which was considered as super sexy.



2. Karishma Kapoor and Aamir Khan


The number 2 kissing scene that was super hot was the one performed excellently by Karishma Kapoor and Aamir Khan in the movie `Raja Hindustani' which was one of the superhit movies of Bollywood. Aamir Khan is a perfectionist in all his features and even in this kissing scene, Aamir had shared an optimal chemistry with his lead heroine Karishma Kapoor.



3. Rani Mukherjee and Kamal Hassan


The number 3 enigmatic kissing scene amongst top five kissing scene of Bollywood is undoubtedly by greater actor as well as kisser Kamal Hassan. In movie `Hey! Ram' he kissed the magnificent Rani Mukherjee. This kissing scene was sensuous and cannot be forgotten by viewers. Kamal Hassan has tried to play intimate scenes with many top heroines of Bollywood cinema and the outcome has always proved to be an exotic for viewers.



4. Zeenat Aman and Shashi Kapoor


The number 4 kissing scene was the one that was shared by ravishing Zeenat Aman and ever charming actor of Indian Cinema, Shashi Kapoor. They shared a lovely lip lock in the movie that was truly sensational. It was inevitably a rocking kiss in the grand movie of Hindi cinema, `Satyam Shivam Sundaram'.







5. Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff
 
The number 5 kissing scene of Bollywood goes to sexy act which was elegantly performed by Madhuri Dixit and handsome looking Jackie Shroff. This kissing scene was performed in the movie `Vardi' which was an emotional one.

It is even quite interesting to explore few of the kissing scenes in the Bollywood cinema where it does not stand in the top five lists. This was a kissing scene shared by Preity Zinta and Saif Ali Khan in the movie `Salaam Namaste'. However, it may be because the kiss was quite urbanized to be listed in the top five kissing scenes of Bollywood. The other kissing scene is Indian cinema which could not be enlisted is the one shared by Bipasha Basu and her beau John Abraham in the film `Jism'. This kissing scene was also not much effective to be enlisted in the list of top 5 kisses of Indian cinema.

Emraan Hashmi though denoted as serial kisser but his kissing scene which he shared with Mallika Sherawat in many of their movies cannot be enlisted since it did not at all magnified a natural scene of kissing according to the critics.

Bollywood’s ‘Baabul’ story comes alive in Nepal

Kathmandu, March 8 – As Nepal celebrated International Women’s Day Tuesday with colourful marches and public programmes, there were indications that the winds of change were indeed blowing through the conservative Himalayan nation and traditional glass ceilings were beginning to develop cracks. 

The news of a young woman’s remarriage 18 months after being widowed, made it to the front page of Nepal’s national dailies, showing how people’s attitude were changing towards widows, who were earlier regarded as ill-omened and barred from attending other people’s weddings.

The tale of Sanju Aryal’s marriage revived memories of ‘Baabul’, the path-breaking film made in 2006 by Bollywood director Ravi Chopra on the sensitive issue of remarriage of widows.

Just as in the film it was the young widow’s father-in-law who took the initiative to get her married again, it was Sanju’s in-laws who arranged a match for her after her husband, Prakash Wagle, died of blood cancer in 2009, only six months after the wedding.

‘It grieved us to see how sad and lonely she was,’ Maheshwar Wagle, uncle of Prakash, told the Nagarik daily. ‘We hope the marriage will bring her happiness.’

As both Prakash’s parents her dead, his uncle and aunt and the rest of the family sought a groom for Sanju and found him in Yadav Lamichhane, a young man from the same town as Sanju whom she knew from her childhood days.

On Monday, the wedding, conducted as per Hindu rituals, was held in Simra town on the Indo-Nepal border.

The bride wore red, a colour that was taboo for widows in Nepal in the past, along with ornaments.

Maheshwar, who gave her away, said he was giving her into marriage not as his daughter-in-law but as his daughter.

The daily said both Sanju and Lamichhane’s families had agreed to the marriage. Even the Hindu priest who officiated at the wedding said it was the first remarriage he had performed in 30 years and he was overjoyed.

'Rani is heading YRF'

Though unwillingly, Ranveer Singh has let the cat out of the bag. His acting skills were lauded extensively in Band Baaja Baraat but Ranveer proved to be quite an amateur at improvisation. 

 While shooting an episode with Anushka Sharma on Karan Johar's chat show Koffee With Karan, Ranveer accidentally referred to Rani Mukerji as "MD" of Yash Raj Films while not taking her name.

Ranveer has a three-film contract with Yash Raj Films and happens to be Aditya Chopra's blue-eyed boy. Our source said, "The conversation on the show was between KJo and Anushka Sharma and Karan asked Anushka if she thought she could act better than all other actresses in the industry.

Anushka said, 'Yes, barring one.' Before she could say who, Ranveer, who had been silent, blurted out the question, 'MD?' and before anyone else, KJo said, 'Oh, let's not go that path'."

According to industry sources Rani is believed to be the one calling the shots at YRF. And if this rumour were anything to go by, Ranveer accidentally affirmed it.

Though Anushka spoke soon enough and said that she was referring to Kareena Kapoor, the damage was done.

The source added, "It is known that ever since Rani has been dating Adi, the head honcho of YRF Films, she is one of the most feared people in Yash Raj Studios.

She is believed to be one of the key decision makers in the YRF camp. Ranveer might have referred to Rani, hoping Anushka would name her and in turn impress Adi."

Whilst a lot may be lost in translation we would still give Ranveer benefit of the doubt and ask: were you referring to Madhuri Dixit by any chance?

Bhansali and Rani Mukherjee patches up, to be friends again

Feb 19, Mumbai: Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Rani Mukherjee who were earlier close friends, have once again retrieved the once lost warm and friendly association. All was well between them, till Rani’s “Dil bole hadippa” was released. The exceptionally talented director, Bhansali did not quite like the flick and texted in a bitter manner to Rani about the title of the film. Rani who is too enamoured of the YRF camp, lost her temper and replied back insolently. This marked the end of Bhansali-Rani’s friendship, episode 1.

Choreographer Vaibahvi Merchant, who is a common friend of both of them, tried several times to normalize everything between the two buddies but failed. Recently, Bhansali himself, came out of the blue, and took the initiative to revive their bond. Not only personally but also professionally, they are thinking of bonding again. 

Both of them, had worked together in the sublime film “Black” and also in “Saawaariya”. Black which was a tribute to the famous blind and deaf laureate, Hellen Keller, was not a huge commercial success. But the movie went on to win acclamations from all over the world, for being a beautiful piece of art. Soon, we may be fortunate enough to experience a new film, carving a niche of its own, in the history of Bollywood and enabling us to tour the vast unexplored land of Bollywood as the two pals are together again.

Movie Review of 'No One Killed Jessica '

‘No One Killed Jessica’ is based on a real story. Jessica Lal’s murder case in 1999 stirs the nation. Newspaper, news channels, magazine cover the story as exclusive report but hardly one is aware of its outcome but NOKL reveals the end.

Real life incident always inspires filmmaker to make a film based on the issue but few succeed to convert reality into celluloid efficiently. But Rajkumar Gupta is one among those few directors that has been able to bring justice to the real story. Gupta has brought life to the story of Jessica Lal's murder case.

He went through the root of the story and captured the reality. Gupta does complete justice to the case and able to hold the interest of the audience till the end.

Jessica Lal (Myra Karn), a waitress of Delhi Night club least knows that her life would come to an end just that she said no to offer any more  drink to a powerful politician son Manish (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub). The club closed when Manish asked for one more drink to Jessica. When Jessica refused to serve any more drink to Manish, he pointed his gun towards Jessica Lal and shot her in the witness of 300 guests.

Out of fear, no one bother to revolt the incident and being the son of a powerful political, Manish walked out. Life was as usual for Manish. Jessica Lal’s family could do nothing except crying over the death of Jessica. Postmortem reports were mishandled, evidences were rubbed and witnesses were purchased with money. It seems life has no value over money.  Jessica’s sister Sabrina (Vidya Balan) lost all hopes to bring justice to his dead sister, she could do nothing.

Meera (Rani Mukherjee), a spirited TV journalist was busy with Kargil war coverage when the entire incident took place and least gave importance to the case. She thought it was an open case and shut case. But when she gone though the case, she was shocked to know how the case was mishandled. Meera determined to bring justice to the family and she moved on. She was not alone in this journey of truth and justice, general public hold her hand and she moved forward with their support.  

It was not an easy film to make because people already had some knowledge about it and it required extensive research. It was a sensitive issue and slight changes in the script might have proved fatal. But Rajkumar Gupta has kept a balance of everything and delivered a wonderful film which has full of thrill, energy, grip and entertaining value.   

The first half is just ok but the second half is more captivating. The dialogues are very convincing and touchy. Though there is a little scope for music, Amit Trivedi's music is situational and justifies the situation. Aarti Bajaj's editing is fine. Anay Goswami's cinematography is highly appreciable.

Speaking about performances, Rani Mukherjee has delivered her best. She justifies the role of a journalist. Vidya Balan too deserves huge round of applause. She has portrayed her role very well, specially her confrontation scene with Rani. Myra is too good; she can create a niche in Bollywood. Neil Bhoopalam is ok. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub is incredible. Every time he appears on the screen, you feel like hitting him.

’No One Killed Jessica’ is a well made film, very convincing. It leaves an impression for a long period after stepping out of the theatre. The film has done full justice to the Jessica Lal case. Do not miss it.

Rani Mukherji And Vidya Balan Kiss And Make Up

Bollywood actresses Rani Mukerji and Vidya Balan have pulled off a new feat in front of media cameras. The normally quiet girls got naughty at a promotional event in the recent past. Well, we know that both Rani and Vidya do not shy away from playing bold roles onscreen, but that the two women could pull off such a stunt for the television camera is something that their fans were not prepared for. According to reports, Rani Mukerji and Vidya Balan engaged in a passionate lip-lock at a stage event held in the recent past.

The videos doing the rounds on the net are evidence of the fact that the earlier warring actresses Rani Mukerji and Vidya Balan have kissed and made up, literally! Ever since the promotional clips of their upcoming film together No One Killed Jessica was released on television, people started praising Rani Mukerji, considering that her character of a journalist is a more powerful role compared to Vidya Balan’s role of Jessica’s real life sister Sabrina Lal. And it was this fact that was apparently giving Vidya Balan sleepless nights, also the root cause of her catfight with costar Rani Mukerji.

However, the fight is a thing of the past now. Both actresses are professionals in real life and thus they agreed to take that extra step to promote No One Killed Jessica well. So is the lip-lock only a promotional gimmick? Though many will be thinking so, Rani Mukerji and Vidya Balan looked really happy and enjoyed each other’s company while performing the lip-lock on stage!

Rani Mukherjee rubbishes marriage rumor

Bengali babe Rani Mukherjee again rubbishes marriage rumor that is doing the rounds. She declared that no such thing is going to take place and the news is just a media fabrication, "I don't understand why there is so much fascination about my marriage. I am not tying the knot anytime soon. When I get married I will inform you all. I will make a proper announcement when such a thing comes up," the actress said.

It was rumored that Rani Mukherjee will exchange ring with Aditya Chopra in February next year and marriage will take place soon after it. Denying the news, Rani said, "I have been married far too many times. In media, the news of my marriage has been making the rounds for quite some time. The worst part is they don't invite me for my wedding".

Rani Mukherjee is keeping rumor aside and at the moment looking forward to the release of her new film, ‘No One Killed Jessica’ where she is playing a journalist. The film is slated for January 7 release.

I wish to do films where women are shown stronger: Rani

Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji enjoys being a part of women-centric films and says she would like do a movie where a woman is projected as a strong person.

“Whatever films I have been a part of so far, most of them have been women-centric films. I wish to do more such films where women are shown stronger because it is a fact that women are stronger,” Rani, who gave hits like “Bunty Aur Babli” and “Saathiya”, told reporters here Friday.

Her role in the upcoming film “No One Killed Jessica” would be a reflection of her belief where she would be seen in the role of a television journalist.

The actress was in the capital to be a part of Plan India’s fund raising auction and support the organisation’s global gender equity and equality campaign – Because I Am A Girl. Plan India promotes child rights and works to improve the quality of life of vulnerable children in India.

Rani made her Bollywood debut with the woman-centric film “Raja Aayegi Baraat”. She was later seen in films like “Mehendi”, “Black”, “Laaga Chunari Mein Daag”, “Hum Tum”, “Yuva” and “Veer Zaara” among others.

Asked about not being seen on screen much these days, she said: “I want to be a part of good films and play good characters. I wouldn’t like to disappoint my fans. I have always tried that every new film I do is different from others.”

“After ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’, I found the script of ‘No One Killed Jessica’ best, so I decided to take it up. We had completed our shooting in June, but they (the makers) also needed some time to complete the film,” she said.

“No One Killed Jessica” is based on model Jessica Lall who was shot dead in 1999 by Manu Sharma in a nightclub. Produced by UTV Spotboy, the film also features Vidya Balan as Jessica’s elder sister Sabrina. It will hit the screens Jan 7 next year.
