Rewriting The Record Books : The Dark Knight - Fastest To The $300 Million Mark

The Dark Knight continued its box office onslaught this week,shattering new records and winding up solidly at number one
for the second weekend in a row.The previous record for fastest film to $300 million was owned by
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. It hit the mark in just 16 days. It stole the record from Revenge of the Sith
which managed the fest in 17 days. Before that was Shrek 2 at 18 days. Seeing the pattern? The Dark Knight did it in just
10 days, beating the record by nearly a week. Don’t look for that one to be broken anytime soon.
Of course, by default, that gives Batman the top all time 10-day total. Dead Man’s Chest had the previous spot with
$258 million. The Dark Knight is sitting pretty at $314 million. Again, a total that likely won’t be touched for a long time
to come.At $314 million Batman has also now officially made Iron Man and Indiana Jones’ struggle for number one cash maker
of the year a pointless battle. They’ll be left to bicker over number two as The Dark Knight takes a crack at topping Star
Wars for the number two all-time record (there’s no chance of becoming number one...Titanic holds that one solidly
at $600 million).

The Lindsay Lohan-Samantha Ronson Relationship

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly a lesbian or maybe bi-sexual or maybe just bi-curious.Whatever she is,she’s said to be currently
dating Samantha Ronson,and we couldn’t be happier for her.You see: the whole point of romantically seeing someone is that
they balance you out.Most times when celebrities date eachother,they simply spur on more reckless behavior.But Samantha
Ronson seems to be having the opposite effect.Reliable and centered, she escorts Lindsay to photo shoots, screenings, and
even recently defended Lindsay’s little sister against tabloid rumors.
And beyond all that, Lindsay actually looks happy. The woozy, glazed-over eyes of an unreasonable party girl are gone,
replaced with the adoring, tender ones of a doting girlfriend. I have no idea if these two will make it in the long run,
but this is certainly,a step in the 'right direction'.With Samantha’s help,Lindsay has actually shed the 2A.M. coke lines
for 11P.M. snuggles.

RGV' Innovative New Marketing Strategy : Watch 'Phoonk ' Alone In Theatre And Win Rs.5 Lakh

After the failure of Contract,Ram Gopal Verma has devised a new way to promote his new film,Phoonk which is a flick based on
superstition and black magic.It is set to release next month.And if reports are to be believed,Ramu claims that Phoonk is
the scariest of all his horror films.So much so that now Ramu and producer,Azam Khan,have,rather immodestly,announced a
prize money of Rs 5 lakh for anyone who can dare to see the film all alone in the theatre. Darna strictly mana hai..
Azam Khan says, “We're confident that the film is so scary that it will be extremely difficult to watch it all alone in a
theatre. We will be running a contest and giving out details on our website about how to participate in it. Right now we
have decided that we will screen the film for the winners of the contest a few days before the release of the film, that is
on August 22. At the moment we have planned four trials that we will screen in a preview theatre.”The condition is simple -
anyone who wants to win Rs 5 lakh has to watch the film from start to finish,without getting out of the theatre .The contest
will be well-publicised .We are now working out the logistics of date and time.”Although Ram Gopal Varma remained
unavailable for comment, his close friend says, “Ramu is very confident of the film and knows that he has made one of the
scariest film on black magic and that's why he is ready to challenge viewers.” Any takers???

SRK and Priyadarshan Unite

Shah Rukh Khan's Latest venture is with ace comedy film maker Priyadarshan and is called "Billo Barber".Like most of Priyadarshan's movies this is also inspired by last year's biggest malayalam hit "Kadha Parayumbol", starring Mamooty and Sreenivasan. The hindi version has Shahrukh playing Mamooty's role while Irfan Khan plays Sreenivasan's.

The movie is about a village barber Billo (Irfan Khan), who'll be losing his business because he has not been able to come to terms with the changing trends. One fine day a movie unit visits his village for shoot and so does Billo's school mate who is a superstar now...All of a sudden Billo's status changes just because he is star's friend...
The movie will also star Deepika Padukone, Juhi Chawla, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra amongst the female lead.It'll be Produced by SRK's Red Chilli Entertainment...With Yashraj's Shahrukh starer "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" wrapping shoot, looks like SRK will have back to back releases....

Star Wars To Hit Screens In An Animated Version

Star Wars as a cartoon? Why not. The past two movies were almost entirely animated anyway. The only thing real in Revenge of
the Sith were it’s handful of human actors.For George Lucas, the movie is really just a way for him to launch his first
post-prequel Star Wars television series which is slated to premiere soon.Computer animated action movies can work, if
they’re done properly. Brad Bird proved that with The Incredibles and more recently Dan Harmon with Kung Fu Panda.
So here' hoping that George Lucas manages pull off something that comes straight from his 'obsession'(animation).

A Hunk and Three Sizzling Beauties.But Will It Work For Yash Raj : Bachna Ae Haseeno Preview

Cast: Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Bipasha Basu, Minissha Lamba
Director: Siddharth Anand
Producer: Aditya Chopra

After the 'very different' Salaam Namaste which got into light the concept of the 'live in' relationship,Director Siddharth
Anand has come up with his next venture 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'.With Yash Raj films trying to regain lost ground,will this
movie make a differnce to their fortunes..lets hope so.With a really young and relatively fresh starcast 'Bachna Ae Haseeno'
is quite obviously targetting the college audience.Ranbir Kapoor plays Raj,a charmer who gets women going head over heels..
Minishaa Lamba plays Mahi,a simple and sweet 'kudi' from Amritsar,lost in her dreams with a no-hassle life.Radhika played by
Bipasha Basu is a power house dancer who wants to make Bollywood swing to her tunes.She is somebody who is ready to go
that extra mile to conquer her dreams.Deepika Padukone plays Gayatri,who is abroad and is determined to get what she wants.
How Raj goes through various phases of his life with the three woman forms the story.With the not so impressive music 'Bachna
Ae Haseeno' has started on a bad note..Lets just hope the movie has something better to offer,otherwise,i m afraid Yash Raj
Films will have to make some drastic changes to see the light of the day again.

Anurag Kashyap does a modern Devdas

Anurag Kashyap, one of India's most talented and promising filmmakers is all set to make his modern version of Sarat Chandra's "Devdas" and is calling it "Dev D". Anurag, popular for his writing for movies like "Satya", "Shool", "Kaun", "Yuva" "Water", has also directed movies like, the hard hitting, realistic, controversial "Black Friday", metaphorical, out of the box "No Smoking" and animated super hero "The Hanuman Returns".

Abhay Deol is potraying the modern Devdas or rather "Dev D" and newcomer Kalki will slip into the role of Chandramukhi, Paro will be played by another newcomer Mahi.This movie will potray how Devdas would react to the current issues. It is said that it was Abhay Deols idea initially to make a modern version which was later adopted and written by Mr.Kashyap. The whole movie will be ending on a positive note, not like the previous versions of it. The movie is produced by "UTV Motion Pictures" sister concern "UTV Spotboy Pictures" .
There were also rumours that the producers backed off when Anurag's "No Smoking" fell flat at the box office but now that the movie is complete and post production work is on and the the movie will be showing in theaters soon, it is to be seen how the audience react to this modern, realistic version of Devdas....Mr.Kashyap all the best...

Music Review : Bachna Ae Haseeno- average

Title : Bachna Ae Haseeno
Cast : Bipasha Basu, Minissa Lamba, Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone.
Music by : Vishal-Shekhar
Produced by : Aditya Chopra
Directed by : Siddharth Anand.

'Bachna Ae Haseeno' is the latest Yashraj flick hitting theaters this month, the music is average to describe it the best. The creators, Vishal-Shekhar fail to recreate their magic, their genius can be seen in patches like the the remixed version of the original "bachna ae haseeno" track where they have retained the late Kishore Kumar's voice or in the ' Kudha jaane' track, sung by Kay Kay and Shilpa Rao which flows very smoothly. Whereas the very punjabi ' Jogi Mahi' fails to impress, it might even flash memories of 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge'...

The songs like ' small town girl' and ' lucky boy' might help in story telling but lacklustre to listen. 'Ahista Ahista' sung by Lucky Ali and Shreya Goshal sounds above average,but not great. With two weeks to the movie's release it'll be interesting to see how the audience react, since most of the Yashraj movie albums are a superhit with the audiences .

Yash Raj Films Desperately Need A Hit

When Yash Chopra won the 'Power' award at the Filmfare not so long ago,his production company was undoubtedly the numero uno
in the film industry.But suddenly the company seems to have gone into a slump.With almost all their movies like Neal n Nikki,
Kabul Express, Ta ra rum pum , Jhoom Baraabar Jhoom, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag,Aaja Nachle and Tashan bombing at the box office,
Yash Raj films is going through an extended rough patch.Even Mr.Yash Chopra himself publicly criticised the movie making
gaint,now managed by his son Aditya Chopra for bad marketing strategies and sluggish scripts.Although the biggest hit of
last year did come from the Yash-Raj banner in the form of 'Chak De India',the company is desperately searching for that one
commercial masala flick with which they could strike gold and get back onto ruling terms in the industry.The company' very
strength,the power of their banner is working against them these days with people thronging to theatres in the first week
expecting those 'larger than life' lovestories in wonderful foreign locales just to end up dissapointed..and then starts
the downfall.Its not that these movies have'nt done good business, its just that they are no where close to the standards
that Yash-Raj sets.Personally all these movies were just an average offering in some very sumptuous packaging.I ve seen the
trailers of Bachna Ae Haseeno and not too surprisingly, i think it is finding the road to nowhere as well.Hopefully they
prove me wrong...Yash Raj also has quite a few star studded movies in the pipeline..with the animation film by Jugal Hansraj
titled 'Road Side Romeo' starring Saif Ali Khan the Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' the company is hoping to
set the record straight before entering 2009.

Farhan Akhtar Unleashed : Rock On Music Review

Music By : Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Produced By : Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani

Marking his debut as a singer and that in a big way is Farhan Akhtar and i must say he' unveiled to us a power house..phew..
The dude can actually sing.Shankar Ehsaan Loy strike hopefully will strike gold with this album.. It is an absolute delight
to listen to and the lyrics by Javed Akhtar are brilliant.. i really could'nt believe what i was listening to.. i mean the
lyrics are absolutely trendy,to say the least.All songs from the album are really good and Farhan' vocals gives them a very fresh
feel.Besides Farhan,Caralisa Monteiro (Phir Dekhiye),Dominique Cerejo (Ye tumhari meri baatein),Suraj Jagan (Zehreelay) and
Raman Mahadevan (Sindbad The Sailor) have lent vocals to the album with all of them doing very well.All songs have that
pop-rock element to them with two exceptions in 'Zehreelay',which is a full on rock song and a slow number in 'Tum Ho Toh'.
The album is definite blind-buy.Double thums up to Farhan Akhtar and papa Javed Akhtar.Rock On completely rocks.

Hrithik Roshan Trains His Vocal Chords

When almost every other actor is doing it these days, how could Hrithik Roshan abstain from trying his hand at singing.Reports have it that Hrithik has sung a song was for the Papa Roshan' forthcoming film ‘Kites’ which is being directed by Anurag Basu. Besides Hrithik, the film stars Barbara Mori and Kangna Ranaut. Music is being composed by uncle Rajesh Roshan.
The song is reported to be in English and it is being told that it was uncle Rajesh' idea to have him sing for the movie. Hrithik is believed to have gone through a training session for his vocal chords to get the twang right. The perfectionist that Hrithik is i'm pretty sure he'll do pretty well with this new found interest as well.

Snoop Dogg' Maharaja Style Entry Into Bollywood : Music Review Of Singh Is Kingg

Music Director : Pritam
Lyrics : Mayur Puri
Producer: Vipul Shah

Pritam has done a very
commendable job this year
giving different variety of sound.Right from Race to Jannat to Kismet Konnection,its all worked.But Singh Is Kingg takes it all to a completely new level..its got biggest India' hit musicdirector in him with India’ geniune superstar Akshay Kumar and godfather of the rap scene Snoop Dogg.The soundtrack
rights were reported to sold for Rs. 135 million, thats a whooping amount.But is it worth all that after all... lets see..
When i got the cd,i thought it was going to have a universal genre of music with an obvious punjabi soul to it to go
with the Singh factor.But it was not to be.. all the songs where Bhangra and hip-hop combination based.If you are a
Bhangra music fan then this album is going to set your floor on fire.All the songs have a very groovy feel to them but the
one stand out track that impressed me more than Big Snoop' title track was 'Teri Ore' sung by Rahet Fateh Ali Khan and
Shreya Ghoshal,who lends a lot of emotion to the song and is really good.
Final verdict: Skip the album if you are not into the Banghra-Hip-hop fusion music culture.

Anu Malik Makes A Comeback Of Sorts In 2008:Ugly Aur Pagli Music Review

Music Director : Anu Malik
Produced By : Pritish Nandy Communications

Anu Malik does a la Pritam giving us a lot of item numbers in this very promising movie..The music cd contains nine tracks
but two of the tracks have three versions.So that makes it five tracks in the true sense.'Karle Gunaah' sung by Ishq Bector,who
seems to be all around bollywood these days and Anushka Manchanda is a punjabi rap song with a very reggae feel to it.
It is hip and will be heard in clubs and discs soon.'Shut up Aa Nachle' sung by Anu Malik,Vasundhara Das and Dibyendu Mukherji is a standard Anu Malik tune and is not so impressive.'Talli'sung by Anu Malik' daughter Anmol Malik,Hard Kaur and Mika Singh,
the song is got a nice feel to it.Anmol resembles Anu Malik in every aspect..the voice quality,the tone,its all the same.
'Yaad Teri Aaye' is a beautiful romantic song and Mohit Chauhan as usual excels with his vocals in this genre.'Yeh Nazar'
switches gears and takes you into the pop-rock world.Sunidhi Chauhan and Shaan have provided vocals.Lyrics by Amitabh Verma are not too impressive.
Overall the music is pretty good and the cd is worth a buy.

Hollywood Movies To Watch Out For

A Complete no Watch Flick..Even If They Are Distributing Tickets For Free : MIssion Istaanbul Review

It was quite obvious that Mission Isatanbul was going to be an action movie..At least that was what i thought before going
into the cinema..I m sorry if got it wrong,but i seriously think the genre of the movie should have been comedy.Mission
Istanbul is absolutely hilarious to say the least..Pathetic acting,horendous camera angles and number of technical errors
that director Apoorva Lakhia makes leave you in splits in this so called 'action packed' movie.I must say that the movie
lacks any action element what so ever and is a complete no brainer.I mean i can understand that Indian movies have now
gone on to a different level with its use of technology and stuff..but ending world terrorism with a pen drive..huh..

Vikas Sagar(Zayed Khan),a news correspondent with an Indian news channel takes up a job with Turkish news gaint Al Johara
to get an inside view of terrorism.Because of this his fellow journalist,wife(Shriya Saran) divorces him.Now grief
striken Vikas Sagar heads to Istanbul where he is greeted by Owais(Sunil Shetty),a news correspondent for Al Johara..Vikas
meets the boss(Niketan Dheer) and is warned about 13th floor from where Al Johara' security is controlled (in a very horror
movie style..like in those purani haveli' Ramu kaka says "13th floor pe jaana mana hai").Vikas and Owais are sent to
Afghanistan to cover news about the militant gang(a la Al Qaeda) where Owais is killed..Vikas heads back to Istanbul heart
broken.Now enter Rizwan Khan(Vivek Oberoi) who reveals the activities of Al Johara to Vikas.Both set out on a mission to
conquer 13th floor and hack all the information from the Al Johara database..How they go about doing this and 'save the world'
as Rizwan says forms the rest of the story.

After the super duper success of Shootout At Lokhandwala one would have thought that Apoorva Lakhia would deliver something
equally decent,if not better.But the director fails miserably.Every aspect of the movie is sluggish and it really
does test your patience.Acting is not even worth a mention.. I'd say it couldn't have gotten worse. Zayed Khan has again proved that he is the best "over actor" in the industry, if there were Oscars for over acting he would have won the a lifetime achievement award for the same...Exaggerated action would
have probably worked a decade ago but even then this movie unfortunately would'nt have made an impact.The few things that
the movie does offer is an intreval,some very nice sunglasses and not to forget a really bad headache.

Overall Mission istanbul is complete 'Mission Failure' and is not even worth considering for a watch.. I guess,sleeping on
a bed of thorns would be less painful.

Rating:0.5/5

Flaws:
1)When Shriya Saran is reporting in Kashmir, she is facing a camera and reporting while a completely different angle is shown
on TV.But guess what..there is only one camera..so which camera is showing her on TV??
2)Zayed Khan is seen swimming in the sea water at the port..but intrestingly the sea has ceramic tiles at its bed..huh
