She is what Superstars are made up of! An actress on every director's wishlist. She is none other than Katrina Kaif, the lady who is giving not just the Bolly heroines, but also top models a marathon run for their money.
After having launched a thousand (well... make that a million plus) products with her ravishing smile, Katrina Kaif is now all set to do it all over again, this time round with the prestigious Lux soap. The news of Kats becoming brand ambassador has really many minds thinking since till now it was the eternal beauty Aishwarya Rai who was at the helm of things for the said soap brand, for long time now.
Also the last time round, it was the very same Kats who replaced Ash as the face for the Nakshatra range of jewelry. Kats will be endorsing 'Lux Purple Lotus & Cream', a soap infused with anti-ageing properties.

Source: Entertainment - Google News | 2 Mar 2010 | 1:41 am Subhash K. Jha speaks about Karthik Calling Karthik
Desolation is a distant cousin to suburban seclusion. And from the isolation of the Modern Indian Man is born the Great Cosmopolitan Fable of the man who knows no succour from seclusion.
Karthik Calling Karthik is an interesting if flawed fable of the damned. The protagonist is Karthik (Farhan Akhtar) so timid he could merge into the woodwork of his office if only the decor was not so much glass and papier-mache.
Karthik is bullied by his boss (Ram Kumar, unusual and interesting bit of casting, that) sniggered at by his smarter (read: less sensitive) colleagues and absentmindedly ignored by the beauty in the beastly workplace whom Karthik gazes at sideways and writes scores of unsent e-mail to. She's the unattainable beauty. He's King Kong without the imposing grandeur to protest against his malfunctional existence.
This is the world of Rocket Singh without the turban and the placidity. While Shimit Amin's Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year was about an office-goer who craved for acceptance, Karthik just wants to be less unhappy in his space. It's not too much to ask for. But who's listening? Except a voice on the phone that sounds suspiciously like Karthik to his own ear.
The build-up of Karthik's dreary disembodied world captures the claustrophobia of suburban existence without forgetting to add humour to the proceedings. The moments between Karthik and the gregarious Shonali (Deepika) have that touch of lively realism taken from lives we've known lived and somewhere tried to reject. However the dialogues between the couple try too hard to be 'cool'.
The relationship that Karthik develops with Shonali is far outdistanced in intensity by the one that he develops with the Chinese phone set. And after a while the 'extended monologues' (in a newly defined man-calling-self avatar) begins to lose its credibility.
But hold on. Debutant director Vijay Lalwani, self-assured and apparently fully conscious of where he's taking his story, gives us a second-half that is gut-wrenching in its portrayal of the individual as an island.
To escape the dictatorial and tyrannical voice on the phone Karthik buys a ticket to an unknown city which to our visual delights, turns out to be Cochi. Karthik rents a modest near-dingy room and begins life anew as a battered man seeking supreme anonymity with no telephone lines to break his self-imposed deathly stillness of existence.
The second movement of the quietly simmering plot comes to a poignant if faltering halt in a city whose tranquillity the cinematographer Sanu Verghese embraces by a rejection of the urban chaos. However the revelation on Karthik's psychological condition surprises no one except Karthik himself, and least of his sexy shrink Shefali Shah.
Karthik Calling Karthik is a gripping jigsaw piecing together a mind that plays games with itself. The winner is destiny. The pace is consciously sluggish suggesting the deep-rooted association of a vigour-less existence with the quality of life that the cities offer you in exchange for a comfortable flat in a techno-suffused surrounding.
Farhan Akhtar the life and breath of the proceedings, epitomizes urban anonymity in his body language speech and hesitant attempts to reach out to a world that has no patience with the over-sensitive.
Farhan's is indeed a super-confident performance as a man lacking self-confidence. The film itself doesn't lag behind in self-assurance. But the absence of what one may call an energetic exterior could well be mistaken by some viewers as an ingrained inertia, a malaise that the film's protagonist suffers from.
Do not mistake the man for the plot.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 2 Mar 2010 | 1:29 am Subhash K. Jha speaks about Teen Patti
If you can get over the ludicrousness of a distinguished mathematician whose God is Albert Einstein and who at the end of the film gets the 'Isaac Newton Award' for excellence in his field, masquerading as a seedy gambler (in a lungi, if you please!) then Teen Patti is a surprisingly skilful and audaciously complex piece of tautly-scripted and brilliantly executed drama on the seemingly exclusive worlds of academics and avarice and the deep-rooted link between financial ambitions and moral compromises.
Monetary indulgence is a theme done to 'debt'. Writer-director Leena Yadav revealing stealthy skill utterly free of gender influences gives the theme a dizzying but pinned-down spin. She speeds confidently across out-of-control lives on a college campus (not quite the insouciant IIT campus in 3 Idiots , but chalega) with the confident vision of raconteur who spins a seemingly indecipherable web of deceit intrigue and crime that was probably destined to hurl into in uncontrollable cosmic and cinematic chaos.
Miraculously Yadav's yarn preserves its pencil -sharp edge of intrigue and wit right to the end. The story of the eccentric math-magician's adventures in blunder-land takes the narrative from underground addas to high-class casinos where Prof Venkat Subramaniam his junior colleague Madhavan (clenched and compelling in his part-guru part-shishya avatar) and four students convert the Professor's newly-discovered mathematical theory into hard cash on gambling tables. Goodbye, Prof. Chips!
The onion-peel plot reveals layer after layer of subterfuge and conspiracy until we come to the core idea. Greed, we are told, does have a place in the faculty of the intellect as long as the craving for the good things in life doesn't outdistance the ethical boundaries of a life committed to bettering society through education.
The story unravels through an extended dialogue in Cambridge between Prof Subramanian and a British maths professor Perci Trachtenberg played by Bachchan Sir and Sir Ben. Just watching the two distinguished baritones exchange notes on academia, life and their overlapping quirks , is a pleasure that makes for full paisa-vasool viewing.
Alas, one of the baritones belonging to Ben Kingsley speaks in Boman Irani's voice. And that too in Hindi! Why are the two professors huddled together in Cambridge speaking to each other in a language that suggests no tenability except a practical desire to make itself intelligible to Indian audiences in the non-metropolitan centres?
It's s futile endeavour in linguistic transference considering the fact that this is not a film for the audience that enjoyed De Dana Dan or Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.
Teen Patti targets its cerebral entertainment quotient at an audience that is willing to expand, and not suspend its disbelief. The proceedings charted by the intricate plot take the characters belonging to three generations through a smoky hazy compromised kingdom of the devil and the damned.
There's a touch of Faustian wickedness in the way the old professor, his subordinate colleague and their four brightest students embrace hedonism. The parameters of what 'is' and what 'should be' are almost blurred beyond redemption. The film gets its moral colour and texture from the technicians who seem to know the exact shades needed.
The death of one of the students (debutant Siddharth Kher, who has the most complex part among the youngsters) signals the redemptive overture in the plot. Siddharth's 'Bonnie & Clyde' act with his girlfriend (Shradha Kapoor) is indicative of the places that youngsters want to visit in their fantasies. The nightmare is just a hop away from the dream.
From the mathematical and magical to the murky and immoral, writer and director Leena Yadav exercises supreme control over the goings-on. At any given moment the narrative is susceptible to collapse like a house of cards. Yadav's grip over her characters' dithering conscience is perfectly matched by the brightly though starkly-lit interiors. Aseem Bajaj's camera-work is exquisite in delicate shades. The camera knows where it has to go and slips in quietly to capture a world that has lost its plot.
The songs and dances in pleasure-seeking places are edited with an eye for elegant economy. No space is left for humbug to spill over. This director means business.
Many sequences such as the one where Madhavan says goodbye to his screen girlfriend Raima Sen (when will filmmakers stop under-using this beautiful actress?) are shot to suggest the edginess of a world that could topple over any time.
Presiding over this world of infinite infamy is Mr Bachchan. He portrays the ill-understood proclivities of the academic genius with a profound absence of brouhaha. Even as the world outside falls apart Mr Bachchan creates an unspoilt inner world for his character.
As for the 'Ben' buyale mehmaan, the British actor's clipped tone is gone. What remains is half a performance. Good enough.
Madhavan pitches in a bravura act, lots of furtive guilty nervous close-ups indicating a moral breach that could destroy the character any moment. The 4 newcomers are pleasant enough in the spaces provided for them. But given how well each of their characters is written none of them goes beyond the requirements in the script.
A pity. Because the film quite often transcends the written word to go into the realm of the abstract where the existential joys of mathematics meets more earthly pleasures. Surprisingly ingenious and resonant, Teen Patti is not so much about the cards that are dealt on the table as the one that destiny doles out in places where the human eye and desire cannot reach.
Teen Patti re-defines the male-adventure genre by letting a woman director tell us what it is like to lose one's sense of propriety in pursuit of happiness. The gender is not the point here.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 2 Mar 2010 | 1:21 am National Award winning child actor Shams Patel wants to meet Salman Khan
Shams Patel plays a Salman Khan fan in Thanks Maa. He also happens to be one in real life.
The boy who has won this year's National Award for Best Child Actor confesses he has made his parents relieved and proud. "I'm very average at my studies. So they feel at least I've made a name for myself in another field. My parents are very excited. I'm too. But nothing compared to them."
Shams belongs to a business family with no background in cinema. "I got the role in Thanks Maa because the director Irrfan Kamal is my mama (uncle)," Shams confessed candidly. "He asked me to audition along with many other hopefuls. I had no acting experience. My interests are football and cricket, not acting. But when my uncle told me try my luck, I decided, why not? I never thought I'd get the role. After I got the role, I attended workshops."
Even more of a surprise was the National Award. "I was thrilled with the award. If it wasn't for Irrfan Sir (director Irrfan Kamal) and Abhay Sir (acting coach Abhay Joshi), I wouldn't be here."
"Here" is of course a state of the mind, since no one close to Shams has seen Thanks Maa. "None of my friends in school have seen the film, or even know about it. They're too young to watch it. So there's no question of being treated special. Yeah, my two elder sisters saw the film. They started crying."
Shams admits that he wasn't familiar with the slum setting of the film. "But 50 other kids from the slums came for the workshop. I observed them and their way of talking. I copied them. I saw their emotions and used them. I was very moved by the way the people live in the slums. The clothes they wear, food that they eat and the language they speak in the slums was all a new experience for me. I came away from the film as a different person."
Shams was 12 when they shot Thanks Maa. He gets guarded when asked about Danny Boyle's slum saga. "I've seen Slumdog Millionaire. Thanks Maa is totally different. Of course the characters and clothings of us slum kids is the somewhat the same as their picture. But, our storyline is totally different."
Shams had a great time shooting with the five kids who play his friends in Thanks Maa. "While the shooting lasted, we were like brothers and sisters. But now I'm not in touch with them. Now I'm just concentrating on my studies."
Spoken like a true professional, Shams confesses, "I'm not much interested in acting. But I do watch films and am a huge fan of Salman Khan. After Thanks Maa, I'll meet Salman for sure. I don't know what will be the outcome of the film. Lekin kuch to hona chahiye."
Shams Patel, who has won the National Award for Best Child Actor in the film Thanks Maa, is upset because he hasn't been allowed to watch his own film.
"Will you please talk to the censor board?" requests the 13-year old National Award winner, now on the verge of exasperation as the day of his film's release approaches. "Thanks Maa has been given an 'A' certificate. Wohi toh problem hai. I can't watch my own film for the next five years. Will you ask them to change it to a 'U/A' certificate, so I could see my film accompanied by my parents? Ideally, I want to watch it with my friends."Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 2 Mar 2010 | 1:15 am Katrina Kaif's soapy connection with Aishwarya - Oneindia
Source: Entertainment - Google News | 2 Mar 2010 | 1:10 am "Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai is my first romantic film since my debut film" - Riteish Deshmukh
The affable Riteish Deshmukh will no more do sex comedies. The guy whose name got willy-nilly linked with raunchy rom-coms like Masti and Kya Kool Hain Hum has sworn to steer clear of sex on screen.
Declares Riteish, "I won't do any more sex comedies. It started with Masti. Now five years down the line, Masti writer Milap Zaveri, who's a dear friend, has turned director with Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai and there's absolutely no sex or double-meaning dialogues in it."
Riteish Deskhmukh and writer-director Milap Zaveri have both set a common date. April 9 has been underlined in the calendar. It's the day Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai is being released. Five years ago on same date - April 9 - Masti had been released. Zaveri wanted his film as director to be released on that date.
Says Riteish, "Both Milap and I go back a long way. We've come a long way. We've left our raunchy days behind. Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai is my first romantic film since my debut film Tujhe Meri Kasam in 2003. Milap is the most romantic person I know. So it's only fair that he makes a romantic film with me."
Riteish and Milap are long-time collaborators. Milap even scripts Riteish's lines for an international awards function which Riteish hosts with Boman every year. Says Ritesh fondly, "I think Milap's sense of humour and quips suit me. We may have gone over-the-top in Masti. But now we've both settled down to a mellow expression in Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai."
Riteish is being extra-picky about his roles now. He has to make sure that nothing corny or controversial comes his way. "After Sajid Khan's Housefull, I haven't signed anything except Dhamaal 2 which is not a sex comedy. How can it be? When it features no female actors. That apart, I 'm planning something again with Ram Gopal Varma. Ramuji knows how to use me well on screen. Each time we've done something different."
Riteish Deshmukh and Akshay Kumar play a couple of losers in their new comedy together. Says Riteish, "Akshay and I work in a casino in Housefull. Any table that Akshay touches ends up having losers on it."
For the first time Riteish along with the rest of the cast has taken off his clothes in Housefull. "Sajid Khan said, 'Enough female skin. I want to show male skin now. I told him to hold the song until the end of the schedule, so that I work could towards building my body for the sequence on the beach," says the generally shy Riteish Deshmukh about his new 6-pack look.
Finally, the mandatory question on his dosti with Genelia D'Souza. "Can't I give you my mandatory answer? Then I'll say we've been friends from the time we did Tujhe Meri Kasam together. And so it shall remain. The profile of our friendship is not going to change."Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 2 Mar 2010 | 1:10 am Hema's watchman missing since theft - Times of India

"That's true," PRINCE producer Kumar Taurani confirms, "Postponing the film has nothing to do with the examination period or cricket matches. The fact is that the VFX is taking time. The date [March 26] was appropriate for the film, but in view of the fact that the VFX wouldn't get completed on schedule, we have decided to bring PRINCE on April 9."

Paresh Rawal is truly a versatile actor. Of late, the supremely talented actor was cast/will be seen in diverse roles -- negative [RANN], serious [ROAD TO SANGAM] and comic [ATITHI TUM KAB JAOGE? and NA GHAR KE NA GHAAT KE] -- which only goes to show his infinite range.
"Believe me, I am nervous every time I accept a film. Will I get it [the role] right? This question crosses my mind several times," he tells me. He has two back-to-back releases in March. ATITHI TUM KAB JAOGE? opens on March 5, while NA GHAR KE NA GHAAT KE hits the screens on March 12. He plays an unwanted guest in the former and a cop in latter, but the commonality is that he causes problems for the main characters of those films.
Ask Paresh if he has ever had an unwanted guest over and he dismisses it off. "Not yet! Actually, everyone's busy with their lives and there's hardly time to socialise or overstay at anyone's house. Also, I guess, everyone values privacy nowadays, so an unwanted guest is just not welcome," Paresh points out.
Not many are aware that Paresh never attends the mahurat ceremony [launch] of his movies. "Call me superstitious, but I've noticed that every time I attend a launch function of my movie, things start going wrong and the film ends up getting shelved. Similarly, I don't watch my movies in preview screenings because I feel they meet a sad fate at the box-office. I prefer watching movies with the audience in a cineplex," he states.Source: BollywoodHungama.com News | 1 Mar 2010 | 11:41 pm BBC Asian network must be preservedThe BBC has made some changes and one of them appears to be the disappearance of BBC Asian Network.
