Abhay Gulati (Imran Khan) and Aaliya Khan (Deepika Padukone) have known each other since they were four years old. Their friendship turned into love at the tender age of 15, when Abhay realises Aaliya is the girl for him.
Aaliya's life is defined by her burning desire to become an actress and she is unmindful of what or who comes in her way. Abhay who is still unsure about what he wants to do finds himself competing with Aaliya's incessant plans and projects to fulfill her dreams. While their relationship blooms because of their personality differences, the baggage because of these differences also grows silently.
Things come to a head when Aaliya decides to go to Australia to study and Abhay has to deal with the prospect of a long distance relationship, secretly fearing that he will lose Aaliya forever. He takes a leap of faith and they decide to take this time off from each other to figure out what they want to do.
The choices Abhay and Aaliya make from here on tests their relationship.
Aaliya risks everything and everyone she loves only to realize that there is no joy in achieving one's dreams if one has no one to share it with. Abhay risks losing every shred of his ego, dignity and self-respect only to realize that there is no bigger high than seeing your dream come to life, brick by brick. They make mistakes, deal with disappointments, even lose each other - and become stronger individually.
Break Ke Baad is not just a coming of age film, but a film about couples growing up - together. In a fickle world where relationships break up on the smallest of differences, Abhay and Aaliya manage to save theirs despite geographical ones.

Cast: Hirithik Roshan, Aishwarya Bachchan, Shehnaz Patel, Aditya Roy Kapoor

Within a Victorian structure, inside an artistically designed home, behind billowing curtains and surreal lighting schemes sits quadriplegic Ethan (Hirithik Roshan), trying desperately to shoo a fly off his nose. Unable to use his limbs and accepting his fate, he lets the fly sit-- a passing visitor in Ethan’s handicapped life.

Sanjay Bhansali returns to form with the creation of a fascinating world where fact meets fiction. While the dreamlike production design and costumes inspired from modern art are awe inspiring fiction, Bhansali’s research on euthanasia (or mercy killing) seems to be based on fact. Does fact blend seamlessly with fiction? Unfortunately not.

Right from the start Ethan seems to embrace the brighter side of life. He laughs in the face of adversity, always has a mischievous one-liner on his lips, and even hosts a radio show to counsel depressed listeners and share the joys of being alive. If the point of a fulfilled life wasn’t made clearly enough, the background songs remind us literally, that ‘life’s good!’

Yet, in the very next scene, Ethan calls his lawyer to tell her he’s had enough and wants to die. She must fight the legal system and their stand against mercy killing. Just when and why did the man who fought death and went on to write a book about living successfully as a quadriplegic decide to end his life, is never clearly explained. From this point on, no matter how hard the director and his actors try to elicit sympathy for Ethan, it is hard for one to connect with him.

The flashback scenes showing Ethan in his full glory are beautifully treated and Roshan is gracefully choreographed in stunning settings. His magic tricks are initially exciting to watch, but you soon realize that the gravity-defying stunts that he performs are beautiful but unrealistic, never attempted by the likes of the great Harry Houdini even. The stunts seem to owe more to the wire-work and CG departments of the film, than any authentic magic research.

But there are some heartening moments in an otherwise style dominated film; like the scene where Ethan reminisces about his mother and says that the biggest magic trick he performed was to put a smile on her face; the scene where Ethan’s former lover (Moni Kangana Dutta) calls him on his radio phone line understanding his need for euthanasia is nicely done. Dutta has this one scene to prove herself as an actress and she does so with all heart.

Another well executed scene is the penultimate courtroom sequence where Ethan locks the unsympathetic government lawyer in a small a box for sixty seconds. As Ethan describes the free environment in the outside world, the lawyer begins to suffocate and pleads to be let out. Ethan releases him and makes his point. ‘Imagine living in a box your entire life, if you could not stay inside for 60 seconds’.

While Hirithik Roshan does well for the most part, he is challenged by an ill-defined character. It is Aishwarya Bachchan as Sophie, Ethans loyal nurse for 14 years, who brings some heart to the slickly made Guzaarish. Aishwarya chips in a restrained performance as the stern nurse whose only purpose in life is to care for Ethan. The actress seems to have matured enough to give this otherwise airy film some solid grounding.

Guzaarish is based upon a great idea (as were the English films ‘The Sea Inside’ & ‘Whose Life is it Anyway’) and has some terrific moments. But sadly for the cast & crew who seemed to have worked hard to make this film, it is also over-the-top, has forgettable music and a weak climax. Watch it for a peak into Sanjay Bhansali’s wonderfully imaginative mind but be prepared not to feel his heart.

KBC 4 Online Registration, Todays Questions Game Entry Audition Logo on Sony Participation Phone Lines Contact Details Information 2010 Form

KBC 4 Online Registration, Todays Questions  Game Entry Audition Logo on Sony Participation Phone Lines Contact Details Information 2010 Form

 Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan at the sets of Kaun Banega Crorepati season 4NEW DELHI: The craze for 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' is still alive and wide - over five million people participated in the first phase of auditions of " KBC 4".
The registration process was opened Sep 1 by megastar and host Amitabh Bachchan on Sony Entertainment Television.
Already, 1,233 registrations have been shortlisted from auditions held in six cities - Lucknow, Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai, said a Sony press statement.
The audition process is divided into two segments - classroom test followed by a personality test.
"'Kaun Banega Crorepati' is a show for the common man. A platform that gives each Indian the prospect of making it to the hot seat," Ajit Thakur, executive vice president and business head of Sony Entertainment Television, said.
"KBC audition is probably the biggest 'joint entrance exam' in India where successful registrants from across the country, from different socio-economic backgrounds will compete to get an opportunity of a lifetime - sit on the hot seat opposite India's iconic superstar, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan and win a life changing amount," he added.
"KBC" is based on the British show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?".
The first season was launched on Star Plus in 2000 with Amitabh as the host. He returned with the second season in 2005, after which superstar Shah Rukh Khan took over the baton in 2007.
The fourth season is expected to go on air Oct 11, on Bachchan's birthday.

110 crore Hindustani: Kaun Banega Crorepati?
In the last 40 years of my career I have sat through meticulously written scripts, long hours of photo shoots to get the perfect lights and angle and rehearsed and practiced the way I want to deliver a dialogue. And just when I thought that I was getting jaded, bang comes in a reality show and I am pulled out of my comfort level with the camera because there is absolutely nothing that you can control or absolutely nothing that you can prepare yourself with when you are given the job of hosting a reality show.
Yes, Kaun Banega Crorepati is back and I am very excited to be back on the show after a long gap.
Recently, in the presence of the media we unveiled the changes we have this time. So meet Mr Ghadiyal Baboo - the not so gentle reminder for the contestants, warning them as every second passes by and nudging them to answer quick and correct, saying, "and now only 12 questions to win a crore", or "but there is still a chance to do more. Answer the 13th jackpot question and one stands the chance to win five crores".
We have new lifelines coming in too. So while the Phone A Friend and Ask The Audience remains, we also have the Ask The Expert. We will have a respected and well-known face coming in to the studio and advising the contestant when he is in doubt.
The 50:50 lifeline that we have been familiar with has gone. We now have what is called the Double Dip - or what I like to call the Double Dupki! When in doubt - the person on the hot seat can give two answers! I am certain this will be quite a life savior.
And yet even with all the changes in the rules that have come in, the essence and the warmth of the game in its entirety remains the same.
Being a public figure can sometimes be unnerving because there are expectations being built and your performance being judged every moment, nothing of which is in your control. The charm of KBC for me is it breaks all the in-between layers and the Chinese Whispers. I love talking to people on the hot seat. Their dreams of building a better future for their families, their hopes of doing something remarkable for their village and the simple dreams of being noticed in a country that sometimes has misplaced media attention. Sometimes I wish it wasn't a hot seat, or 'me versus you' situation where I sit against them and tell them they have failed. In reality, I just wish to be by their side and egg them on, perhaps like a school examination, even pass them notes with the right answer. But such is the nature of the show. And one must do what has to be done!
Also, I love that I talk to all of India. The people of this country have given me enough support to be in a place where I am today. And yet the similarity is that we have the same stories to tell. The India we grew up in has a language of its own - one that cannot be put to words but only what one needs to soak oneself in. A country that has grown up with braving the summer heat to play hours of gully cricket and the one where we stood in queues and booked cinema hall tickets weeks in advance and the one where everyone has an opinion on the politics of the country. I look forward to this season of KBC - talking to one person at a time and yet millions across homes.
One contestant on the hot seat and so many people across the nation cheering for him from the sidelines and rooting for him to win.
It is amazing to watch a contestant use their lifelines.
Every time there is a contestant, twitching thumbs, biting fingernails, unsure eyes almost certain of the answer, and yet wanting just a reassurance of what he thinks is right and he asks the audience, I see the magic come alive. He gets his answers and smirks. A smirk that only comes with the faith and belief in himself and others. It says so much about the human behavior. That given a chance and trusted, even with no one watching, people will do the right thing.
And the Phone A Friend. The comfort of jumping right into seeking help for the answers in the 30 second timeframe that only comes with familiarity of the voice on the other end.
The show is scheduled for launch tonight.
Right now I am on the other side. Nervous and unsure. What do I expect? What is expected of me? What do you think? Are you cheering for us and for the upcoming season and backing us to go ahead and have a smashing super hit success of a show? We have a bagful of surprises on the show. What are you looking forward to the most?

Jeeyo, Badho, Utho, Jeeto is the name of song....India Bula raha hai...lagi re lagi lagan...

Commonwealth Games 2010 Anthem

Swagatham

Yaaro India bula liya

A.R. Rahman announced the release of CWG theme song “Swagatham” in New Delhi. The song is currently not completed yet as Rahman is doing final touches to the most awaiting song of India. According to Rahman, his song will beat and go beyond the Shakira’s Waka-Waka Song, which she sang for Fifa World Cup 2010. Since the song is not energetic, I don’t think it can beat Waka-Waka for some people. The song is dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi.

CWG theme song should be alike the popular song of late 1980′s “Mile sur mera tumhara“.

Lyrics

The song is not released publicly yet. But the first line of the song is “Yaaro India bula liya“.

Will it be in English or Hindi ?

‘Swagatham’ is written in Hindi with a few English words

Direct Tax Code Bill 2011 Highlights Income tax slab Structure 2011 of budget bill rates 11-12

Direct Tax Code 2011 | Direct Tax Code India 2011 | Direct Tax bill

A windfall for taxpayers from the next financial year. You will in fact have to pay less Direct taxes in every slab of income. This comes with the Cabinet clearing the Direct tax code which will be introduced in Rajya Sabha, and referred it to a select committee, during the monsoon session.

It has been referred to the Select Committee, and will be introduced in Rajya Sabha on Monday. The new provisions under the Direct Tax Code are as follows:

Tax for income between Rs. 2 lakh – Rs. 5 lakh: 10%

Tax for income between Rs. 5 lakh – Rs. 10 lakh: 20%

Tax for income over Rs. 10 lakh: 30%

The limit for exemptions for salaried people is Rs. 2 lakh, while that for senior citizens is Rs. 2.5 lakh.

orporate tax has been kept at 30%.

The new Code comes into effect from April, 2011.

After the approval of the Cabinet, the decks are cleared for tabling the legislation in the Monsoon Session of Parliament so that the new Act ushering in reduced tax rates and exemptions may come into effect from next fiscal.

When enacted, the Code will replace the archaic Income Tax Act and simplify the whole direct tax regime in the country.

The Code aims at reducing tax rates, but expanding the tax base by minimising exemptions.

The Finance Ministry had earlier come out with a draft on the (Direct Tax Code) DTC bill, some of whose provisions drew strong criticism from industry as well as the public.

To address those issues, the ministry brought out the revised draft, dropping earlier proposals of taxing provident funds on withdrawal and levying Minimum Alternate Tax on corporates based on their assets.

“As of now, it is proposed to provide the EEE (Exempt-Exempt-Exempt) method of taxation for Government Provident Fund (GPF), Public Provident Fund (PPF) and Recognised Provident Funds (RPF) …”, the revised DTC released by the Finance Ministry said.

The revised draft also puts pensions administered by the interim regulator PFRDA, including pension of government employees who were recruited since January 2004, under EEE treatment.

The first DTC draft had proposed to tax all savings schemes including provident funds at the time of withdrawal bringing them under the EET (Exempt-Exempt-Tax) mode.

Under the EEE mode, the tax exemption is enjoyed at all the three stages – investment, accumulation and withdrawal.

The earlier DTC draft had proposed to reduce the corporate tax to 25 per cent from the present 30 per cent. The revised proposal has also made it clear that tax incentives on housing loans will continue. Payment on interest on housing loans up to Rs. 1.5 lakh will continue. The earlier draft was silent on housing loans.

Daabang Movie Review 2010 Videos Gallery Wallpapers

Story: Corrupt cop Chulbul Pandey (Salman Khan) needs to bridge the distance with his step brother, Makkhi (Arbaaz Khan) and stepdad, Vinod Khanna, on the behest of his mother (Dimple Kapadia) even as he needs to set his own house in order by marrying the potter girl (Sonakshi Sinha) who refuses to succumb to his charms. And if that's not enough, there's the local goon, Sonu Sood and the crumbling administration of the small town that is craving his attention too. Can Chulbul Pandey deliver?

Movie Review: For anybody who wants to know what is the on-screen definition of Bollywood (read popular mainstream Hindi cinema), Dabangg is truly text book fare. It's loud, crazy, zany, exaggerated, larger-than-life, almost nonsensical, totally make-believe, comic book like, complete kitsch, generously peppered with the mandatory desi tadka (garnishing) of songs and dances that keep popping out of nowhere and is literally oozing with star charisma. Most importantly, it's not meant to make sense. It's only meant to entertain. And entertain, it does in overdoses. No, this isn't meant for people who are looking for different cinema. Nor is it meant for the viewer who likes movies to appeal to his head. Yet, for those who celebrate and serenade the `silliness' of mainstream masala movie lore and swear by its popcorn quotient, Dabangg is the greatest getaway of the season.

Debutant director Abhinav Kashyap chooses to walk the road that makes a complete U-turn from brother Anurag Kashyap's edgy, hard-hitting, realistic cinema and opts for a signature tune that re-invents the age-old formula in aaj ka idiom. Plot-wise, the film might make you cringe with it's hackneyed tale of two squabbling step brothers who have the arduous task of keeping the great Indian family together. And guess who's making life even more difficult for the parivaar? Who else but the local goon (Sonu Sood) who tries to play one brother (Arbaaz Khan) against the other (Salman Khan).

But all this brouhaha about a non-story is truly irrelevant, because there never was supposed to be a story in Dabangg. The only factor that was supposed to be there was Salman Khan, Salman Khan, Salman Khan...followed by some more Salman Khan. So just sit back and savour the star power of an actor who chooses to enunciate the role of a thoroughbred entertainer. Salman's corrupt cop act as Chulbul Pandey, playing Robin Hood in a semi-rustic environment is so engaging, you are willing to forgive and forget everything else. As soon as you begin to realise the film hasn't moved at all in terms of story, bingo! There comes Salman swinging his bare fists around, ducking bullets, spewing mischievous threats and abuses, making eyes at his girlfriend (Sonakshi Sinha), creating chaos in his dysfunctional family and breezily breaking the rules with his brattish ways. And in case you still tend to get a bit restless, there is the Pelvic! Watch him gyrate in sync with all those uproarious tunes and you'll be down to your last coin, having flung all the loose change you have on chartbusters like Munni Badnam Hui....And finally, if you still want more, there's the shirt-ripping sequence, where our desi hulk gets to showcase his sculpted torso without having to unbutton it. It simply tears on its own! Now didn't we tell you Bollywood films have their own undefinable logic....

Dabangg is designed as a vehicle to showcase the star charisma of Salman Khan and the actor literally hits bull's eye. He has a ball on screen and makes sure you join the party too. Aiding him are two special factors: the excellent action choreography by S Vijayan (watch out for all of Salman's slow motion antics and the Matrix bends and leaps that are sure-fire taali-seeti fare) and the foot-tapping music score by Sajid-Wajid and newcomer Lalit Pandit. The locales of the film too are exotic and re-create the hinterland ambience that is becoming so popular in Hindi cinema today. Set in a small, sleepy, one-horse town in Uttar Pradesh, Dabangg creates an alluring canvas of decay and dissolution, even as it celebrates the ordinariness of the aam aadmi's life.

In terms of performances, the show is definitely anchored by Salman Khan, but debutant Sonakshi Sinha too stands tall. As Salman's silent, shy, yet gritty girlfriend, she has great screen presence and a spontaneous charm. Bad guy, Sonu Sood too ends up as an interesting adversary to our local Robin Hood while Arbaaz Khan articulates the angst of the underdog brother. But hey, in the end, Dabangg is not about theory and analysis; it's only about the Zandu Balm effect of cinema: completely home grown, hybrid, purely desi stress-busting therapy. Period.

A word about:
Performances: It's a Salman show all the way. The actor is completely in command as the larger-than-life entertainer who knows all the rules of the Bollywood hero act. Newcomer Sonakshi Sinha too impresses with her spontaneity and spunk.

Story: Now that's the weak link. Too hackneyed, this tale of sibling rivalry.

The story is set in the gritty streets of Mumbai. It is believed that the film is about the bike gangs of Mumbai. Neil, who has performed some daring stunts in the film, plays a character with an interesting name - ‘One Shot Nandu’.

Deepika on the other hand will be seen in an action-based avatar - Pinky Palkar, where she will ride bikes and do daredevil stunts. The actress reportedly refused to use a body double.

Inception Movie Review 2010 Gallery

Inception

THE STORY can either be told in a few sentences, or not told at all. Here is a movie immune to spoilers: If you knew how it ended, that would tell you nothing unless you knew how it got there. And telling you how it got there would produce bafflement. The movie is all about process, about fighting our way through enveloping sheets of reality and dream, reality within dreams, dreams without reality. It’s a breathtaking juggling act, and Nolan may have considered his Memento (2000) a warm-up; he apparently started this screenplay while filming that one. It was the story of a man with short-term memory loss, and the story was told backward.

Like the hero of that film, the viewer of Inception is adrift in time and experience. We can never even be quite sure what the relationship between dream time and real time is. The hero explains that you can never remember the beginning of a dream, and that dreams that seem to cover hours may last only a short time. Yes, but you don’t know that when you’re dreaming. And what if you’re inside another man’s dream? How does your dream time synch with his? What do you really know?

Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a corporate raider of the highest order. He infiltrates the minds of other men to steal their ideas. Now he is hired by a powerful billionaire to do the opposite: to INTRODUCE an idea into a rival’s mind, and do it so well he believes it is his own. This has never been done before; our minds are as alert to foreign ideas as our immune system is to pathogens. The rich man, named Saito (Ken Watanabe), makes him an offer he can’t refuse, an offer that would end Cobb’s forced exile from home and family.

Cobb assembles a team, and here the movie relies on the well-established procedures of all heist movies. We meet the people he will need to work with: Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), his longtime associate; Eames (Tom Hardy), a master at deception; and Yusuf (Dileep Rao), a master chemist. And there is a new recruit, Ariadne (Ellen Page), a brilliant young architect who is a prodigy at creating spaces. Cobb also goes to touch base with his father-in-law, Miles (Michael Caine), who knows what he does and how he does it. These days Caine need only appear on a screen and we assume he’s wiser than any of the other characters. It’s a gift.

But wait. Why does Cobb need an architect to create spaces in dreams? He explains to her. Dreams have a shifting architecture, as we all know; where we seem to be has a way of shifting. Cobb’s assignment is the “inception” (or birth, or wellspring) of a new idea in the mind of another young billionaire, Robert Fischer Jr. (Cillian Murphy), heir to his father’s empire. Saito wants him to initiate ideas that will lead to the surrender of his rival’s corporation. Cobb needs Ariadne to create a deceptive maze space in Fischer’s dreams so that (I think) new thoughts can slip in unperceived. Is it a coincidence that Ariadne is named for the woman in Greek mythology who helped Theseus escape from the Minotaur’s labyrinth?

Cobb tutors Ariadne on the world of dream infiltration, the art of controlling dreams and navigating them. Nolan uses this as a device for tutoring us as well. And also as the occasion for some of the movie’s astonishing special effects, which seemed senseless in the trailer but now fit right in. The most impressive to me takes place (or seems to) in Paris, where the city literally rolls back on itself like a roll of linoleum tile.

Protecting Fischer are any number of gun-wielding bodyguards, who may be working like the mental equivalent of antibodies; they seem alternatively real and figurative, but whichever they are, they lead to a great many gunfights, chase scenes and explosions, which is the way movies depict conflict these days. So skilled is Nolan that he actually got me involved in one of his chases, when I thought I was relatively immune to scenes that have become so standard. That was because I cared about who was chasing and being chased.

If you’ve seen any advertising at all for the film, you know that its architecture has a way of disregarding gravity. Buildings tilt. Streets coil. Characters float. This is all explained in the narrative. The movie is a perplexing labyrinth without a simple through-line, and is sure to inspire truly endless analysis on the web.

Nolan helps us with an emotional thread. The reason Cobb is motivated to risk the dangers of inception is because of grief and guilt involving his wife, Mal (Marion Cotillard), and their two children. More I will not (in a way, cannot) say. Cotillard beautifully embodies the wife in an idealized way. Whether we are seeing Cobb’s memories or his dreams is difficult to say — even, literally, in the last shot. But she makes Mal function as an emotional magnet, and the love between the two provides an emotional constant in Cobb’s world, which is otherwise ceaselessly shifting.

Inception works for the viewer like the world itself worked for Leonard, the hero of Memento. We are always in the Now. We have made some notes while getting Here, but we are not quite sure where Here is. Yet matters of life, death and the heart are involved — oh, and those multinational corporations, of course. And Nolan doesn’t pause before using well-crafted scenes from spycraft or espionage, including a clever scheme on board a 747 (even explaining why it must be a 747).

The movies often seem to come from the recycling bin these days: sequels, remakes, franchises. Inception does a difficult thing. It is wholly original, cut from new cloth and yet structured with action movie basics so it feels like it makes more sense than (quite possibly) it does. I thought there was a hole in Memento: How does a man with short-term memory loss remember he has short-term memory loss? Maybe there’s a hole in Inception too, but I can’t find it. Christopher Nolan reinvented Batman. This time he isn’t reinventing anything. Yet few directors will attempt to recycle Inception. I think when Nolan left the labyrinth, he threw away the map.

Salt movie Review 2010 Gallery

Salt movie

A typical Hollywood spy thriller often delves into exploring and showcasing the impossible, without caring too much about how realistic the plot or its character looks. It’s different that the lead actors in these films play their roles convincingly and thus make these films believable...

Coming back to the archetypal espionage thrillers, the dare devil spy of the film is a killing machine who can bring down whoever and whatever he wants within a couple of minutes. Is he a superhero? No, but a man blessed with super stunt abilities? Yes.

Bond films, Mission Impossible, Bourne Identity are classic examples. An overdose of action and style is good enough to keep us entertained and once that’s done, one doesn’t give much importance to the loopholes in the plot...Salt being a classic example.

When CIA agent ‘Evelyn Salt’ (Angelina Jolie) is accused of being a Russian spy deployed to assassinate the Russian president during his visit to the US, Salt flees in order to prove that she’s innocent. As CIA believes Salt is guilty, she jumps across the tops of speeding vehicles on a freeway, dives from a helicopter, rides a bike manically and uses all her possible ‘training’ to escape from the clutches of whoever thinks she is a culprit. But, things are not as they seem. There is more to this conspiracy than meets the eye. In agent ‘Salt’s’ style, no body is, who they say they are. Who exactly is ‘Evelyn Salt’ then!

We are told, the film was originally offered to Tom Cruise before it came to Jolie as Cruise had prior commitments. No wonder Cruise didn’t take it. After all, Mission Impossible and Knight and Day were on the same lines. The script was rewritten for Jolie and it is the actress who infuses that spark in this otherwise formulaic action thriller.

Angelina establishes herself as the queen of action once again. She proves she is no less than a man when it comes to playing an out-and-out ‘action-oriented’ character. We quite liked the actress in ‘Wanted’ too. Scarlet Johansson (Iron Man 2) or any actress who wishes to be a femme fatale can take up some coaching from Jolie on how to get that body language right. Jolie as Salt, speaks less kills more and does it all in style. She shows no qualms in letting go of that iconic sex appeal as she gets into the skin of her character by actually getting all daring and dirty!

If you are looking for novelty in films, there is nothing new about ‘Salt’ except for its attempt at letting a female protagonist tackle the bad guys on her own. The film’s climax has its share of twists and turns which aren’t too predictable but not jaw-dropping either.

Salt has some hair-raising action scenes and solid performance by Jolie but it suffers as far as the script is concerned. There is no depth to the characters and no insight into their lives as a result of which the audiences can’t connect to what they see onscreen. The post Cold War paranoia seems half baked and thus its effect on the story insipid.

If you like Angelina Jolie, this one’s quite an entertaining popcorn film. By popcorn, we mean the 'regular' salted popcorn. Don’t expect a caramel or cheese in it! If expecting logic? You can give this one a miss.

Khatta Mitha movie Review 2010 Gallery

This film has a common man as its protagonist and talks about the corruption he resorts to, to adapt to a bureaucracy, which he believes he can’t change single-handedly. Pretty much like talented filmmaker Priyadarshan who gave us rare gems like Kaala Paani and Kanchivaram but has more often served us coal-tar cinema by acclimatizing himself to the tastelessness of Bollywood bureaucracy. And then he calls it Khatta Meetha .

So Priyadarshan continues his ritual of remakes by revisiting his own 1989 film, Vellanakalude Nadu (starring Mohanlal and Shobana). The utmost upgrading he does to the two-decade old plot is by altering the Malayalam milieu to Marathi to which you can only say nanachi taang (to hell with).

The film opens with some civil contractors embroiled in a scam when the bridge they had constructed, collapses. But the bridge breakdown has little link to the plot which gives more room to accommodate Akshay Kumar and his antiques which invariably means loud performances, slapstick humour and chunks of commotion and chaos. Sachin Tichkule (Akshay Kumar) is a road contractor under heavy debt. He also has an extended joint family though the horde of half-baked characters has no significant role in the story.

A new municipal commissioner (Trisha) arrives in the area who happens to be Sachin’s ex-girlfriend. A flashback account of their boring college bonding and equally bland break-off is as much roadblock to the narrative as much as Sachin finds in his civil career-graph. A road-roller episode directly derived from the cult television series Malgudi Days (and more recently also seen in another TV series Lapataganj ) doesn’t smoothen the sketchy storytelling.

Suddenly when the director realizes that too much time has been exhausted in conveying too little, the screenplay is conveniently rushed. So the hero gives an incoherent speech on lack of love and compatibility amongst countrymen. You wonder why? Soon after, he confesses his love to the heroine to make way for a traditionally dressed song and dance routine. When things still don’t work, the filmmaker opts for the oldest cinematic clichés. The hero’s sister gets raped. The witness gets killed before reaching court. Hero and villain indulge in dishoom dishoom . Film ends but mediocrity prevails.

Khatta Meetha lacks wit and sarcasm and by no means can be termed as a political satire. Rather it’s a blatant and full-blown melodramatic tale of corruption that one has witnessed in zillion films before. The writing branches into too many subplots from politics, family, romance but seems disjoint rather than appearing multifaceted. The family characterizations of a powerless patriarch (Kulbhushan Kharbanda), scheming siblings and the ridiculed younger son protagonist (Akshay Kumar) are quite reminiscent of Anil Kapoor’s Saaheb (1985).

The Marathi nuances in dialogues seem forced. Arun Kumar’s loose editing often makes you lose the narrative. Sabu Cyril repeats his preset Priyadarshan-pattern art direction . Even the usually dependable V Manikandan’s camerawork is irritatingly inconsistent in the climax fight perhaps because he focuses more on capturing the banian brand for in-film placement . Also Pritam’s music fails to impress this time around.

Akshay Kumar continues his buffoonery which is not much to speak about. Trisha has nothing notable to deliver in her Bollywood debut. None of the countless character artists are worth a mention.

In the last scene of the film, Akshay Kumar casually comments, “ mujhe kuch waqt ke liye shanti chahiye ” (I need peace for sometime). He pretty much resonates the sentiments of audiences who have been seeing him repeat the same loud and caricatured characters in the name of comedy. Khatta Meetha ends up leaving a bad taste in your mouth.

Udaan Movie Review 2010 Gallery

Udaan movie :

Using a pacing that stays reflective and internalized, Udaan starts in a hill-town boarding school. Four playful adolescent students sneak out late evening to watch an adult movie, where their warden sees them. The four are expelled the following day. As they part and bid goodbye, the underlying fear is one of uncertainty. What will happen to these young, spirited rebels? Where will they head in life?

The more sensitive among them, Rohan, who is an aspiring poet, is totally in the dark about what awaits him. He is sent to his father, whom he has not seen in the past eight years, who lives in the dull industrial town of Jamshedpur. On arriving, Rohan learns that he has a forlorn eight-year-old brother with whom he must share a room. His father is a bullish misfit carrying massive grudges against life, which he takes out on the two siblings. At first, the openly resentful Rohan accepts his drab life. But when his right to an education and resolve to be a writer are squashed, he revolts by indulging in sly midnight capers.

The father-son conflict reaches a climax which helps Rohan break free and launch out on his own, showing humanity and courage that is laudable. The casting is brilliant and the actors pitch their roles with conviction. Particularly striking is Rajat Barmecha as the defiant yet dreamy 17- yearold. The child actor Aayan Boradia pulls at heartstrings as the downcast and bereft little son. Udaan in Cannes has made a head start.

Spain Celebrations FIFA Worldcup 2010 Welcome of Spain team

The Spain had did the magic for Fifa football worldcup 2010.... They simply shown their best things in this tournament and of course LUCK was there with them.... 3 Cheers guys!!!

Spain is the Winner of the worldcup football 2010

Its that time of the tournament again (i.e. the end) where we look back and assess what was. With the 2010 World Cup now over it is time for me to name my team of the tournament. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a geek when it comes to World Cup teams of the tournament, I’ve jotted down a best XI on the back of some grotty old receipt or used envelope for every World Cup since about 1998 if I remember rightly, meticulously drawing up a shortlist of players and then combing them down to a final eleven. Plus bench. And second team. Geek indeed. In fact, I might have a little look for my 2006 team later if I can find it.

Anyway, before this descends into a disorganised, wittering inner stream of consciousness, without further ado here is my World Cup 2010 team of the tournament. Though some positions have more candidates than others I’m going for the en vogue formation at this World Cup – a 4-2-3-1:

Octopus Paul Final FIFA Predictions Match 2010 Spain is predicted For FIFA2010 Champion

Octopus Paul Predicts Final FIFA Match Results.....

The two-year-old celebrity octopus, who has accurately picked the outcome of all six of Germany's World Cup matches so far, quickly tipped Spain to beat the Netherlands. It took him only three minutes to make up his mind.

"That was fast -- it looks like a clear-cut victory for Spain," said Tanja Munzig, spokeswoman for Sea Life in Oberhausen. She was surprised by his speed in picking Spain. For some matches it took Paul 70 minutes to decide.

The octopus, considered by some to be the most intelligent of all invertebrates, got the choice of picking food from two different transparent containers lowered into his tank -- one with a Dutch flag on it and one with Spain's flag.

Reaction in Spain was swift, with the country's biggest selling sports daily website Marca.com running the headline: "The octopus Paul makes us champions."

The container Paul opens first is regarded as his pick. On Friday he wasted no time in diving for the container on the right side with the Spanish flag on it.

Two German television networks interrupted their programing for live coverage of the two-year-old celebrity octopus's picks. Networks in Spain, the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe also broadcast Paul's decision live.

Earlier on Friday, Germans heaved a sigh of relief when Paul tipped Germany to beat Uruguay in the World Cup match for third place. There were cheers in offices across Germany after crowds of viewers tuned in to watch Paul live.

Normally he only picks Germany matches. But for the final Sea Life made an exception.

The octopus in Oberhausen turned into a global celebrity for correctly picking the winners of all six of Germany's World Cup matches -- including their two defeats to Serbia and Spain.

On Friday Paul first settled on top of the Germany container but after a few minutes shifted to the Uruguay container. Then after about 15 minutes he went back to Germany container, quickly opened the lid and ate the morsel of food inside.

Not an ordinarily superstitious people, Germans have become believers in Paul's possible psychic powers. The country was shocked and distraught when he picked Spain to beat Germany after tipping German wins over Argentina, England, Ghana and Australia.

Paul's selections have become top news across Germany and around the world. Some commentators even wondered aloud whether his improbable winning streak might have begun to influence some of the more superstitious players.

But after Paul accurately picked Spain to beat Germany in the semi-final, some Germans called for a public roasting of the oracle octopus. Newspapers and websites were filled with suggestions on how to cook and eat him.

Officials at Sea Life in Oberhausen have installed extra security to protect their octopus.

"Paul is in safe hands with us," said Munzig.

Spain's Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero was quoted in Spanish media reports saying -- in jest -- he was concerned about Paul's safety.

"I am concerned for the octopus...I am thinking of sending him a protective team," Zapatero said.

Spain's Environment and Fisheries Minister Elena Espinosa also said: "On Monday I shall be at the European Council of Ministers and I shall be asking for a (fishing) ban on Paul the octopus so Germans do not eat him."

German football predicting octopus Paul has forecast that Spain will win the World Cup on Sunday while he expects his home nation to take third place.

Spain face the Netherlands in the final on Sunday, while Germany will play Uruguay in the 3rd/4th place play-off on Saturday.

Paul, who was born in England in 2008, has thus far only predicted matches involving Germany but he has been induced to select a team for the final by his keepers at the Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen.

He has picked the correct team in every match involving Germany so far in this World Cup, including their defeat to Serbia in the Group Stages.

He also predicted that they would lose to Spain in the semi-final.

That prediction prompted angry Germans to make death threats against him and he has since been offered protection by several Spanish politicians including Prime Minister Jose Zapatero.

Paul's method involves selecting food from one of two containers with the flag of the nations involved draped within them. His prediction record to date is 10 correct selections and two - both in Euro 2008 - incorrect.

Wallpapers I Hate Luv Stories 2010 New Movies wallpapers

Here are some latest and new wallpapers for our viewers....

Enjoy ....

I Hate Love Stories (2010) Starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Movie Review:

I HATE LUV STORYS first review -->

The first thing that attracts you to I Hate Luv Storys is its title. Let's face it, we adore love stories... at least I do. We idolise the characters decades after the movies have come and gone. The songs that come on our lips instantly while playing a game of antakshri are romantic songs as well. In fact, the biggest moneyspinners, let's face it, have been love stories, right? So how can we 'hate' a love story?

Buzz up!

No matter how mushy or cheesy they are, we find love stories irresistible because of the tremendous rush we experience at the end. Some of us are big suckers for love sagas, aren't we? That's precisely the reason why this title (I Hate Luv Storys) nagged me no end every time I watched the promo of this film.

Helmed by first-timer Punit Malhotra, I Hate Luv Storys is aypical candyfloss romance with a story that's not jaw-droppingly different, let me forewarn you. But if you're young at heart or a diehard and hopeless romantic, you'd lap up I Hate Luv Storys like a kid laps up his fav candy.

Now to the vital question: If I Hate Luv Storys rests on a thin plot, what is it that drives the film for the next two hours? My answer to that is, four factors: The fresh pairing and chemistry between the lead cast, tremendous youth appeal, terrific music and magical moments that make a love story work.

Final word? The makers have never claimed that I Hate Luv Storys will change the face of Hindi cinema. Nor did they ever claim that I Hate Luv Storys will change the mindset of the viewer towards romantic films. So let's sit back and enjoy the fun ride. This one's by the youth, for the youth. It's this age-group that would come out smiling, cheering and rooting for this prem kahani.

'I hate love stories' is the maxim Jay (Imran Khan) lives by. But as an assistant director to Veer (Samir Soni), the most famous romantic film-maker of Indian film industry, Jay has little option but to live with larger than life, glossy, cinematic love on an everyday basis. Things only get worse when he is made to work under the new production designer on the film, Simran (Sonam Kapoor), with whom he shares the strangest first encounter.

Simran loves love stories, so much so that even her life has begun to resemble one. With her ideal job and the perfect boyfriend Raj (Samir Dattani), she lives a blissful, dreamy life. One that is rudely interrupted by Jay's cynicism.

Writer-director Punit Malhotra wins Round 1 by casting the right actors in the roles of Jay and Simran. In fact, it wouldn't be erroneous to state that the casting is the trump card of this film. But what Punit ought to know by now is that every story ought to have a strong grip to keep your attention arrested for the next two hours. In this case, the film rests on a waferthin plot, with not much movement in the story in the first hour. In fact, the story barely moves in the first part.

Yes, post-interval, the story does gather momentum and though you're well aware of the journey and what the culmination will be like, you don't mind the ride because you can't take your eyes off Imran and Sonam. Also, a love story works if one pines for the on-screen lovers and in I Hate Luv Storys, you genuinely want the duo to sort things out, which means that you're involved in their lives. Even the finale - it won't be fair on my part to reveal how this movie concludes - may be filmy or cliched, but let's face it, it works.

Let me draw parallels with another love story, also starring Imran Khan. Recall the finale of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, which had Imran riding a horse to reach his sweetheart (Genelia) at the airport. I distinctly recall, a lot of people found the end bizzare and rightly so. Can you imagine anyone galloping to the international airport in Mumbai? But I was truly surprised when I learnt that the youth were whistling and clapping all through. The finale is different here (no horses, please) and you exit the auditorium with a smile on your face.

Director Punit Malhotra is heavily inspired by Mills & Boon novels and several Bollywood films... love stories all. But like I pointed out earlier, Punit needs to polish his writing skills, although the director in him bails the writer out and takes the film to a different level. The sequences between Imran and Sonam are well penned, but the ones between Sonam and her parents or Sonam and Samir Dattani are half-baked. Directorially, Punit shows super-confidence in moulding the two actors in their respective parts, so much so that you get sucked into Jay and Simran's world after a while.

Director: Punit Malhotra

Cast: Imran Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Sameer Dattani, Sameer Soni, Bruna Abdulla, Ketaki Dave, Anju Mahendroo
