Popular TV actress Shruti Seth, who has also featured in films like Fanaa, Ta Ra Rum Pum and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, is all set to tie the knot this year with debutant director Danish Aslam. Danish, as it's known by now, is currently directing his first film Break Ke Baad starring Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone for Kunal Kohli Productions.
Shruti and Danish first met on the sets of Kunal Kohli's Fanaa where Danish was assisting Kunal. The two have been dating since the last 4 years and finally decided to get married when Danish proposed to Shruti on her birthday last December.

One of the most anticipated films of the year is Shah Rukh Khan's home production Ra.One. The sci-fi film, directed by Anubhav Sinha, has the Superstar playing a super-hero kind of a character while Arjun Rampal plays his nemesis. Kareena Kapoor plays the female lead in the film.
Shooting of Ra.One has already begun and while SRK fans are eagerly awaiting the first look of the film, there's still time for that. Meanwhile, King Khan has posted a picture of a shot from Ra.One on Twitter for all his fans. In Khan's own words, "Director allowed only this pic from Ra.One. Hope you like it."

Move aside. There is no room for artifice in Mahesh Manjrekar's latest work. A raw guttural gritty intense edgy mordant and finally devastating look at the world of the damaged and the ravaged; City Of Gold is as powerful in portraying a bereft working class as Molly Maguires was about Irish mine-workers. Except for the fact that there is no room for pretty visuals in City Of Gold.
Manjrekar portrays the opposite of the beau monde. That murky end of the spectrum where the shenanigans of the IPL brigade seem as distant as the promise of that pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow.
Manjrekar's chawl-life, captured on camera with merciless frankness by Ajit Reddy, is a bleak world of dreamers and losers who are often the one and the same. His heroes (if we may call the young characters that) are offered no hope of solace or redemption. This is the side of the slum that Danny Boyle missed when he made that clever adrenaline rush of splendid squalor in Slumdog Millionaire.
City Of Gold is neither stylish nor swanky enough to attract elitist readings of poverty. Fiercely radical in thought and intensely socialistic in execution the film plunges beneath the poverty line to emerge with characters whose despair is not an act for the camera. The sweat and grime, the corruption and crime are characters of their own in Manjrekar's teeming jostling chaotic world of abysmal nullity.
Mumbai never looked murkier and less inviting.
Taking a panoramic look at the lives of thousands of mill-workers in Mumbai who went on an indefinite strike in 1982 is like trying to hold the ocean in a teacup. Manjrekar in what could easily be rated as his finest most cogent work to date does just that. He holds a universe in the eye of the camera. Its world of the doomed and damned, no frills attached.
His return to fine form and the enrapturing energy level that sweeps across a multitude of lives without trivializing or sidelining any of the characters who come into camera range, are reasons enough to celebrate the joys of neo-realistic cinema. This cinema in all its grime and glory.
But wait, wait...City Of Gold not only marks the return of a storyteller who tells it like it is, without the comfort of shortcuts and shallow shindigs. It's also a macroscopic look at people who populate the fringes. Their silent screams of protest are seldom heard in cinema without their sounds being converted into some kind of vicarious relief and comfort for the audience.
Not for a second do we feel any comforting distance from the misery of Manjrekar's characters. The smells of scant cooking in the kitchen and the soundless noise of hearts and ribs breaking at given intervals swamp our senses creating an overpowering and riveting world of inequality and resentment.
Manjrekar shoots his characters' emotions in tight comprehensive close-ups but wastes no time shedding excessive tears over their lives. The editor (Sarvesh Parab) cuts the raw material with ruthless economy, leaving no room for humbug and certainly no space for commercial embellishments.
So the question, what happened to those thousands of mill workers who were overnight rendered bankrupt after the mills closed down? You will find some uncomfortable answers in City Of Gold. But most of the time you will be faced with questions about the quality of life we choose to hand over to those who are economically and emotionally weak.
Welcome back, Mr Manjrekar.
Would this film have worked without the actors who don't look like they are facing a camera? The whole battalion of characters flicker to life as though they were a part of an extended family shot by hidden cameras for a reality show to be aired at 'grime' time. Television actor Karan Patel as the youngest scion of Manjrekar's troubled family is a revelation. He portrays pain hurt humiliation angst compromise and anger with complete authority.

Long before Director invented Perversity , Billy Wilder made that tender film The Apartment...not knowing that some day far away in that madness on the look-out for method called Bollywood Jagmohan Mundhra would use that title and little else from Wilder's gentle movie.
Mundhra's Apartment reads like a frighteningly disembodied episode, neither passionate nor bloody enough to qualify as a genuine slasher flick, of a television mini-series built around the theme of suburban loneliness. We've seen many films on the theme of what Mumbai does to the outsider. This one, by its own subverted logic, shows the outsider, a mentally disturbed girl from rural Maharashtra, creating havoc in a neatly-arrange spick-and-span apartment block somewhere in downtown Mumbai.
Neetu Chandra is the life and death of this surprisingly-relaxed almost inert suspense thriller. She acts strange and with reason. Her character suffers from acute insecurities. Neetu Chandra makes her home in chic air-hostess Tanushree Dutta's home and resents the city girl's debonair boyfriend (Rohit Roy, seeming to enjoy his part).
The build-up is a little too slow for a slasher-movie (apartment gone to the devil!). By the time the payback is on, we are much too distracted by the trivial atmospherics and incidental characters played by guys and women who seem to have been rejected in fashion shows in the first round itself. These are people probably pronounce 'champagne' with the gee.
The four principal characters hold together the unhurried plot. Anupam Kher as Tanushree's poet neighbour is an engaging diversion. Other distractions like a tacky item song and intermittent song breaks choreographed like a high-school function are a huge impediment.
It's Neetu's show all the way. The girl knows how to hold an expression without looking like she was doing it for effect. Wish there was more to hold up her performance. Most of the time she performs in a vacuum.
Lately Jagmohan Mundhra made film like Provoked and Shoot On Sight which had a point to make. In Apartment he strolls back into the province of the pointless.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 24 Apr 2010 | 3:45 am "I will marry very soon," Lakshmi GopalaswamyPopular South Indian actress Lakshmi Gopalaswamy is now basking the success of the movie Aaptha Rakshaka.

A little more than a year after Chandni Chowk To China,
Deepika Padukone is pairing up once again with Akshay Kumar in Housefull.
This is a first for her where she would be seen with a lead hero again since
she is yet to face the camera with Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan
and Farhan Akhtar after Om Shanti Om, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Love Aaj Kal and
Karthik Calling Karthik respectively. Joginder Tuteja catches up with the
young woman who is all set to have an eventful journey ahead this year starting
with Housefull which is conveniently the most awaited film of the current
reason.
Sajid has always maintained that he along with Sajid Nadiadwala, Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh have been friends for years. How did you end up making a place for yourself in this gang during the shooting of Housefull?
In fact at no point did I feel left out or disconnected even though I know that Arjun and me were the only new ones in the group. Everyone else had actually worked together in some outing or the other. The bonding happened once we went to London. We all used to hang out, eat together and rehearse scenes with each other.
You must have sense some familiarity with Akshay at least to begin with. After all he is the only actor in your short career so far with whom you are doing a second film (after Chandni Chowk To China).
That's right. I am very fond of him. He is a great professional and a great entertainer. In fact I had signed Housefull when I was working with him in Chandni Chowk To China. I remember that it was during the film's shoot in Bangkok when Sajid Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala came to sign us.
Tell me honestly Deepika, the moment you started work with Akshay in Housefull, did you ever discuss about the under performance of Chandni Chowk To China?
Yes, we had such conversations. However, what was the content of this conversation is something that should remain only between the two of us (smiles).
Another film of yours which underperformed in the recent times was Karthik Calling Karthik. Didn't that overtly disappoint you? See, I am glad that people appreciated my performance and also happy that critics had kind words to say. Producers too were happy with the overall outcome of the film so no, there are no regrets.
In case of a family entertainer Housefull, you must be having a far better comfort feel about the eventual outcome of the film, right? I think Sajid (Khan) is good with this genre. I remember watching Heyy Babyy and enjoying it tremendously. What I liked about the film was that despite its comic treatment, there was a lot of emotional depth to the narrative. The film had some meaning after all. The same holds good for Housefull. From an out and out commercial family entertainer like this, you would definitely come out feeling quite good. There is drama, action, romance and above all a beautiful bond of relationships right through the course of the film. It is a film that you would come out loving and enjoying. Even though the
film is a comedy, the content has a lot of soul to it.
It is a film that you would come out loving and enjoying
Talking about the film being a comedy, this is also your first ever actually. A unique experience for you to try out something that you had never done before?
It was a challenging experience for sure since it is a difficult task to be doing a comedy film. You need to concentrate and focus a lot. Comedy is something where sometimes you have to make people laugh without laughing yourself. Sometimes you say the funniest and stupidest dialogues while keeping a straight face. In fact right through the film, there were number of such scenes.
Really?
Yes, there was laughter throughout and the best part was that Sajid himself has such a great sense of humour. He creates comedy as per an actor's personality. At the end of the day, comedy is all about timing. A lot of times it happens that something may seem quite funny on paper but when actors perform them, the impact may not be as desired. On the other hand, the situation could also be vice versa when due to an actor's effort, a scene may turn out to be extremely hilarious.
Talking about the commercial aspects of Housefull, rest assured one can say that it is a solid blockbuster in the offering. You too share similar sentiments about the film's acceptance amongst the audience?
Well, I wish that for every film of mine. After all when I sign a film, I do so only because I believe in it. As for Housefull, I know for sure that it is a very good film. What works and doesn't work on a particular Friday is something that no one would ever know. However, given the right kind of ingredients that Sajid has brought together in the film, I don't see any reason why it would not be considered a huge film and take a very good
start at the box office.
Now that's some confidence. (Laughs) No, I'm not confident out of arrogance but due to the very fact that the film has right content. It has a tremendous repeat value. By now everyone knows about the letter that Sajid wrote to all us actors where he stated - 'Welcome to the biggest hit of your career'. I have neatly filed it in my office. I am longing to open it after 30th April.Source: BollywoodHungama.com Features | 24 Apr 2010 | 3:35 am Movie Prithvi – ReviewBellary mine lords had recently created a new wave in socio-political system of Karnataka by opposing the CM with their money power.

Tamil superstar Vikram, who makes his debut in Hindi films with Mani Ratnam's Raavan, is a traumatized man.
While in the Hindi version of Raavan he plays Aishwarya Rai's cop-husband Dev, in the Tamil version he plays the brutal outlaw Veera. With both the versions being shot simultaneously, Vikram was constantly running in and out of the two completely different characters, makeup and languages, sometimes within half an hour.
Says a source, "It got really taxing for him. While Aishwarya Rai Bachchan played the same character in two languages, Vikram had to go from Raavan in Tamil to Rama in Hindi after every shot. At one point he almost lost the plot."
One day the film's dress designer Sabyasachi Chakraborty had dropped in on location to discuss Vikram's look and clothes. Vikram was informed by Mani Ratnam's assistant that he needed to sit with Sabyasachi to discuss his look with him for the film.
When the two of them met both began to give their viewpoints to each other about how the character played by Vikram would dress up in the film.
Says Vikram, "Within half an hour discussing the character's look, we both realised that something was terribly wrong. I wanted my looks to be simple and minimalist so that I didn't have to change much from the way I am. I suggested to Sabyasachi to keep my skin- tone black. On the other hand, Sabyasachi was keen on a suave and clean look. And was very was confused as to why was I was giving such a strange brief." Sabysachi felt Vikram's look couldn't be dark, and told Vikram that if he was so keen on a dark look then maybe he could try and do something dark but formal.
Laughs Vikram. "I suggested a dhoti. Sabyasachi got really worked up and told me it was no longer funny and asked me him if I was really sure about my character Dev dressing like a rugged rustic character. That's when both of us realised the confusion. I was talking about the looks of Veera (the outlaw character) my character in the Tamil version and Sabyasachi was talking about Dev (the cop) the character I'm playing in the Hindi version."
Explains Vikram, "In the Hindi version it's Abhishek Bachchan who is the outlaw character. And the fact that I'm playing two opposite characters in the two versions had caused the confusion."
Though exhausted by the effort Vikram thoroughly enjoyed the unprecedented challenge of playing two characters at the same time in two languages.
