The Hollywood actors which are supposed to be casted in the film include Robert De Niro, Eva Mendes, Al Pacino and Monica Belluci.

Review: Dil Kabaddi is half-baked















Movie: Dil Kabaddi
Director:Anil SeniorProducerShailesh R Singh
Music:Sachin Gupta, Dhruv Dhalla
Cast:Rahul Bose, Irrfan Khan, Rahul Khanna, Konkona Sen Sharma, Soha Ali Khan, Payal Rohatgi

Two couple friends meet on an ordinary evening that turns out to be a bit different. One couple informs the other, rather casually, that they are splitting. The nonchalant attitude of the separating twosome Samit (Irrfan Khan) and Mita (Soha Ali Khan) shocks their friends.
While Simi (Konkona Sen Sharma) is surprised at this development, Rishi (Rahul Bose) tries to dig the subject deeper. But their questions are met with tired responses.

Review: Slumdog Millionaire
















Movie:Slumdog Millionaire
Director:Danny BoyleMusicAR Rahman
Cast:Dev Patel, Anil Kapoor, Saurabh Shukla, Freida Pinto, Irrfan Khan
Golden Globe wins, Oscar nominations, steely arguments about its authenticity – it’s a reviewer’s unwelcome dilemma to work on a film that’s already been built-up this extent.
Oddly assuming their readers have already caught Slumdog Millionaire on the pirated DVD circuit or over the internet, mainstream publications, over the last week, continued reveling in their open-hearted coverage of the film, often letting out pivotal points. No one seemed to be bothered with this spoiler spilling; perhaps every one had watched it after all.

Review: Victory













Movie:Victory
Director:Ajitpal Mangal
Cast:Harman Baweja, Amrita Rao, Anupam Kher, Gulshan Grover, International Cricketers

Films on cricket have had a strange luck-history, oscillating between super hits to dismal flops.
In Victory, we trail the life of Jaisalmer boy Vijay Shekhawat (Harman Baweja), a super-talented player, disillusioned at not being selected for the Ranji team yet again. On realising that important contacts and not ability is the criterion for selection, he gives up on cricket, but is encouraged back by his steadfast father (Anupam Kher, constantly sobbing).

Review: Chal Chala Chal















Movie:Chal Chala Chal
Director:Rajiv Kumar
Cast:Govinda, Murli Sharma, Reema Sen, Rajpal Yadav, Om Puri, Asrani

The way a director chooses to open a film reflects a great deal on what lies ahead. This is one of those films that has, as its first shot, an overhead view of Mumbai city’s hustle-bustle at a crowded juncture. If you think back a few years back, this was the accepted mandatory shot for opening movies about Mumbai. A second later, we see the hero Deepak (Govinda), among many waiting to cross the road, when inevitably something funny must happen – in this case his accidental bumping against a plump lady. An argument between the two ensues and the long scene, with no context to the story, is finally wrapped up,

Aamir was offered Josh

The role of Prakash which was played by Sharad Kapoor was originally offered to the director Mansoor Khan's cousin, Aamir Khan. However, Aamir turned down the role because he felt that it was a very small role compared to Shahrukh Khan's role of Max.

SRK’s hot surprise for cricket enthusiasts

When it’s Shah Rukh Khan, one can always expect something unique and interesting. And this time with the new season of IPL, this Khan once again has a hot surprise for his fans and sports enthusiasts. Recently, Shah Rukh Khan short-listed twenty four girls, ‘Angels’, at Mannat who will now participate in the reality show ‘Knights and Angels’. The contestants will compete with each other and the six winners will form the team of cheerleaders for SRK’s Indian Premier League team, Kolkata Knight Riders. The objective is to encourage sports enthusiasts to take active interest in cheerleading and even consider it as a career option in future. These angels will be the driving force for the Knights when they will battle it out on the Cricket pitch and will also travel with the Kolkata Knight Riders across the country during IPL. The interesting part is that these 24 girls will be mentored and trained by Shiamak Davar. The fate of these 24 hotties will be decided by Saurav Ganguly - captain of Kolkata Knight Riders, who turns judge with this show.
