Claudia Ciesla - The New Girl Friend of Salman Khan!

Filed under Entertainment

So far it was assumed that most searched Indian Celebrity Katrina Kaif is the girl friend of Salman Khan the most eligible bachelor guy of India. There are rumors of their break up in air from last few days, and do you know who is behind all these stuff? It is Claudia Ciesla the hot German Model and the friend of Salman Khan.

A few day’s back Salman Khan claimed on a TV program that his dad once asked him (when he was a teenager), do you have girl friend? He replied yes, so his dad asked him to take her to the family so that she can meet with them. Salman claimed that since that day he has taken so many girls to his family and now he is really serious to stop all this. It means he is really serious to marry some one now.

It was assumed that Kate is the “would be” wife of the handsome Bollywood star, but with the news of Claudia Ciesla in the life of Salman Khan, this pair is seems to facing some trouble. Although as usual Claudia claims that Salman and she are just friends, but she also claims that Sallu Miyan took her to meet his family.

Claudia Ciesla who is making her debut in the Bollywood in the movie Karma: Crime, Passion, Reincarnation, but she is more in news because of her affair with Salman Khan. Although no one is sure about the news, but Claudia and Salman Khan both has claimed that they are only a good friend and there is nothing wrong in between Kate and Sallu Miyan.

The Best Example of Globalization!

Filed under Entertainment

These days money has become the most powerful factor through out the world. I was really shocked to see that one small game Cricket is going to establish a new example, a new trend which includes the combination of sport ship along with the power of money and glamor. This is for sure the best example of globalization.

I was surprised to see the immense popularity which Indian Premier League, the organization of the T20 cricket matches, by the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI), got during last season. This year, IPL 2 has crossed the boundaries of nation, and now it is all set to develop a new example of globalization.

A tournament which was originally developed for India is now shifted to South Africa (for the reason of General Elections in India). The tournament which was mainly claimed by the organizers that it will provide the platform for the Indian players has now totally shifted to the hands of the players who don’t belong to India. Here are a few examples:

The captaincy of the Kolkata Knight Riders has taken from the Icon Player of team Saurav Ganguly and given to the dashing Kiwi player McCullum. As far as the point of view of the team is concerned, they are free to take any decision in the favor of their team, but I think the idea of dropping Ganguly as the skipper, or the idea of four skippers in a match, which was in air a few days back, are all silly, as without Ganguly there is no identity of the team. As far as my views are concerned, I think Dada should come back to India. People from Bengal are really hurt from this issue and we don’t know why Dada is still there in the team. He is undoubtedly the best ever player of the Kolkata and the team which is representing the City of Joy should for sure include him as the skipper.

The second example is the exit of Mohhamad Kaif and a few more players (all Indian) from the Rajasthan Royals team. The reason behind is still not clear to any one, some one claims it is because of a rift between the skipper and coach Shane Warne and Kaif, some says it is because of an attempt to cut the cost of the team. If the first reason is true then too my views is that the team management require interfering in the matter and solving the matter. If the second reason is true then why they did not remove any player who was not Indian?

These examples are a few examples which are a clear indication that Indian Premiere League is not the Indian League any more. For last season at least it looked like an Indian league whether it is because of the Indian Players in the decision making slot, or whether it was played in the presence of the cricket crazy Indian fans, but this time I am not sure if it can generate the same type of attraction among the Indian people.

Hero 40+ and Heroine 20+

Filed under Entertainment

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

Are you aware from the present trends of Bollywood? The top two movies of the year 2008 were having the pairs of 40+ heroes and 20+ heroines. Yes I am talking about the pair of Shahrukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and the pair of Aamir Khan and Asin Thottumkal in Ghajini.

It is a fact that Shahrukh Khan who has already crossed 43 years of his life is these day’s making films with the female artists who are half in age than him. The same is the situation with the other super star of India; yes I am talking about Aamir Khan. Aamir who has also crossed the 43 years of his life is forced to make pair with the girls like Asin who is only 23 years old.

The response which these two movies get from the public is a clear indication that people like these type of pairs. It is also an indication that Aamir and Shahrukh Khan has the same craze among the people of India and abroad which was there when they were making movies with the heroines like Kajol, Juhi Chawla, Sri Devi etc. All these actresses are either retired now or they have been rejected by the mass these days.

Shahrukh or Aamir were not the only actors who are forced to make pair with so younger girls, while Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan too has crossed the 40+ years and they are still making pair with the girls of 20+ years old. Akshay is coming with Deepika Padukone, while Salman is making the pair with Katrina Kaif in reel life and real life as well.

Even this trend is also showing one mentality of the people in India, and that is they don’t like the female actors after a fixed age. They also don’t like to see the actresses on big screen once they got married too. These factors would not work for the heroes of the Indian film Industry.

On the other hand heroines of these days too like to work with these types of senior actors, because they know that these actors can provide them so much popularity in just one movie which they are not supposed to achieve after making 10 or more movies with the stars of 20+ year old.

Ten Superb Movies in the year 2008!

Filed under Entertainment

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

The year 2008 was not so good for the box office collection, but the last week of the year provided the best performance of the year 2008. It was the release of the Ghajini on 25th December which changed the trends. Here are the lists of ten movies of the year 2008 which I liked the most:

1> Number one is Ghajini:

Not only because of the performance on the box office, it strikes me due to the superb love story between Aamir Khan and Asin Thottumkal. The performance of both the actors is superb in the movie. It went out to break all the records in the very first week only.

2> Number two is Singh is King:

One of the biggest blockbuster hit of the year was Singh is King. It showed once again the on screen chemistry between Akshay Kumar and sweat Katrina Kaif. During the first two weeks after the release of the movie, it earned more than 100 crore in India and abroad. The music of Singh is King was superb.

3> Number three is Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na:

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na is one of the finest movies of the year. The on screen chemistry between the debutant Imran Khan and Genelia D’Souza was superb and liked by most of the people.

4> Number four is Jodhaa-Akbar:

This year Hritik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai rocked the big screen with their superb performance in the movie Jodhaa-Akbar. This movie created a bit of controversy and thus caused a bit of violence too in some parts of the country.

5> Number five is Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi:

Although I personally did not like the movie but my girl friend liked this movie very much. Shahrukh Khan did the superb acting in both the look, while Anushka Sharma was superb in her first movie. The best supporting actor in the movie was Vinay Pathak. He did the fantastic job in the movie.

6> Number six is A Wednesday:

A movie which in fact shocked me is A Wednesday. Superb performance by Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher made this movie as an excellent one.  Though I did not get the chance to watch it in the theatre but when I watched this movie I became a bit surprised and I regret that I missed watching it in the theatre.

7> Number seven is Dostana:

Although I did not liked the movie but it was one of the biggest hit of the year 2008. The reason for which I did not like the movie is because I did not liked the story, but I liked the superb performance by all the three lead actors Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Priyanka Chopra.

8> Number eight is Jannat:

The superb performance by Sonal Chauhan and one superb song “Zara Sa Mujh Ko” made this movie as a hot one. The movie Jannat was based on the controversial death of the cricket coach Bob Woolmer.

9> Number nine is Rock On:

Farhan Akhtar rocked the big screen with his acting and singing for the first time in this movie. Arjun Rampal and Shahana Goswami both were superb in the movie. It became one of the biggest hit because of its superb story.

10> Number Ten is Golmaal Returns:

One of the most talked about movie of the year was Ajay Devgan starer Golmaal Returns, which was actually a sequel of the movie Golmaal which was a big hit in the year 2006. Although it did not become so much big but still people like this movie.

Please do let us know your views about the movies of the year 2008.

8> Tanushree Dutta:

One of the cutest faces of the Indian Film industry. I liked her in the movie “Aashiq Banaya Aapne “.She won the Femina Miss India title in 2004.

One of the sensational faces of the last year. She ignites the box office in her debut movie “Om Shanti Om”. I like her cute face but personally don’t consider her as the sexiest Indian movie.

6> Shweta Tiwari:

Although she is a good tennis player but she remains in news for either her skirts or some of the other reasons. Many people in India consider her as the sexiest face of India.

1> Katrina Kaif:

And the sexiest Indian woman in my views is Katrina Kaif, who was also elected as the Sexiest Asian Women for 2008 by a magazine in UK. Her cute face is liked by most of the people in India. She got the immense popularity by working in the movies like “Welcome”, “Singh is King”, “Namastey London” and few other flickers.

I am eagerly waiting for the comments and feedback from my visitors so that I can even make a good list next time when I sit with the list.

Sonia Gandhi who is considered as the Queen in Indian politics these days and Shahrukh Khan who is popularly known as King Khan are among the list of 50 most powerful people in the world. This list was published in the prestigious US-based magazine ‘Newsweek’.

The newly elected president of US, Mr. Barack Obama is leading the list. He is followed by the Chinese president Mr. Hu Jintao. Other politicians who are ranking at the top are French President Nicolas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, German Chancellor Angela Markel and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

Movie Review Dostana!

Filed under Entertainment

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

Two days back I watched Dostana and became a bit surprised that for the first time some leading actors of Bollywood has taken courage of beaing a Gay in a Movie. This is surprising as in India this type of ventures are not liked by people.

Gay Sex, is increasing in the countries like US, UK, Cananda, and some more western countries. It is true that this thing has arrived in India too, but I am sure before the release of this movie many peoples are of those type who are not even aware from Gay term, but this movie can generate one type of knowledge in people. Some people will now try to know more about this term.

Movie Dostana is a story of a male nurse Sameer which was lead by Junior B and a photographer Kunal which was played by John. Both of them pretend to be a gay in the movie to get a living place without any sexual fear with a single girl Neha. Neha’s role was played by Priyanka Chopra. The twist in the story is that both of them fall in love with Neha.

From acting point of view, Abhishek Bachchan has did splendid well in this movie and I would give him 9 out of 10 marks for such a nice acting, on the other hand John Abraham and Priyanka are good but not so much. I will rate them 6 out of 10. Neha looks a bit pretty and sexy too. Overall movie has a good comic point and I will rate the movie as 8 out of 10. A few songs are really good and will go long way.

Film Festivals in India!

Filed under Entertainment

If you’re new here, and interested in the latest news and insights on news from India and world, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting I News India.

Film festivals are such a platform where a maker gets to showcase his movie in front of different classes of audiences. In such a way they make for a great way to introduce the movie to the public and get them to see it and appreciate it. Though film festivals in India arrived a bit late, but they are soon gaining popularity. So the Indian movie makers are opting for film festivals to gain popularity for their films rather than straightaway releasing them at the theaters.

Gift from Hollywood: Basically the unique trend of film festivals had been borrowed from Hollywood. Many movies in Hollywood first debut in various film festivals and then they mark their entry into the cinema halls for the audience. Some of the recent great hits of Hollywood like Babel, Brokeback Mountain, mighty heart, a beautiful mind and many more had first made their debut at various film festivals. Following their path of success and glory, even the Indian film makers started introducing their movies in film festivals to gain popularity and audience acceptance.

Why film festivals are important: Our Indian film makers have now learn from the Hollywood and are opting for film festivals before releasing their movies in the theaters. Film festivals are a wonderful medium to show one’s movies because you get to show your movie to the various audiences from different countries and streams. In this way the movie gains global popularity. Also one secondary function of film festivals is that they fetch your movie a good media coverage which you wouldn’t have got otherwise!

Scenario of film festivals in India: Well, film festivals in India are still in its nascent stage. Though they are improving and gaining popularity but they still have a long way to go. Few film festivals in India are the Osian’s film festival, International Film Festival of India, Mumbai academy of the Moving Images International Film Festival. Though they are slowly becoming popular, they still lack support from big sponsors as in the west. But with time it seems that film festivals in India are going to be next big thing. And it’s a win win situation for both the movie makers and the audience!
