Shahid – Kareena Kapoor’s ‘Milenge Milenge’ destined to flop


As per the promos running across channels, the makers of this film are hell bent on bringing Shahid and Kareena back together with its ‘Forgive and Forget’ theme.
Whether they will ‘meet’ in ‘real’ life is their personal call but will the film ‘meet’ people’s expectations?

Our in-house expert and very own celebrity astro numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi unravels the mystery –
“The title ‘MILENGE MILENGE’ adds up to Number 52 ( 7 ) – this octave of Number 7 is an unfortunate number. It is symbolized by the signs of revolution, upheaval, strife, failure, prevention and is not a fortunate number if it comes out in calculations relating to future events” explains Bhavikk.
He continues “ No wonder the film took so long in the making and could not be released even after it was ready for a while ”.

“About the much talked about pair, Shahid is running in his 30th year ( 25th February 1981 ) which is just about average phase for him while Kareena who’s also of the same age is in much better position, luck-wise ” says Bhavikk.

“But their combination being Numbers 3 (Jupiter) and 7 (Neptune), is not good at all and hence their ‘chemistry’ will fail to light up the screen on fire. With such a basic ingredient (a must for any love story) lacking in the movie, there is absolutely no chance of this film working at the box office ” predicts Bhavikk before signing off.

Rani Mukherjee speaks about her favorite past time


No doubt Rani Mukherjee, Tinselville’s Queen Bee, has seen a lot of ups and downs, highs and lows in her career right from her debut making film Salim Aftab’s ‘Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat’ to her last released Yash Raj film’s ‘Dil Bole Haddippa’, after having overcome all the hazards and the hurdles of her personal life too.

Needless to add that she has come out unscathed, but not unhurt! Yet one fails to notice any traceable scars of the same on her ever – smiling countenance. So full of beans and tinged with laughter, Mademoiselle Rani Mukherjee just freaked out while dissecting her favorite past time, her leisure time queries endowed with her own brand of Bengali sense of humor. Shaheen Raaj caught up with the Bong Babe Rani Mukherjee in a surprise encounter.

Describe a typical leisure day in your over busy schedule and hectic life?
Believe me I make my family go bonkers on my typical leisure day. As I eat their brains more than my breakfast, lunch or dinner. I behave like a typical brat, making my mom go wild and wild, running around in circles with a stick in hand until she is totally exhausted.
The poor lady tries her best to please me, but the prankster that I am, I literally make life hell for her and then of course I make up for my mischievous behavior in the evening by doing everything for her that pleases her no end. And that is either by cooking her favorite dish of Maacher Jhol at home or taking her out for, believe it or fall dead, a candle light dinner for just the two of us.

What is your idea of unwinding, de – stressing and relaxing in your leisure time?
The word ‘relaxation’ is certainly not a part of my Bengali dictionary. You see I don’t believe in endorsing the Oxford dictionary. But jokes apart I am such a restless creature ‘Main ek minute ke liye bhi chain se nahin baith sakti hoon’. And you really want to know how I de – stress myself? Simple! By giving tension to others! As in this regard my formulaic belief is that ‘Tension lene ka nahin, tension dene ka kya!’

But yes when sometimes I really feel like unwinding myself then I definitely prefer going away on a long drive all alone or else I also prefer to hide myself in a solitary corner of a deserted beach or an unfrequented seaside.
Do you have any specific and a favorite place to hang out and spend time with your closest friends on a weekend?
Actually speaking I love going to pubs and discotheques with my friends on a weekend. No specific choice, Koi bhi chalta hai yaar! But more than that, we all have even greater fun in some or the other friend’s house by partying hard and letting our hair down or just by freaking out without a care in the world till the wee hours of the morning.

Are there any special interests that you pursue in your leisure time?
Can you beat it? I spend all my spare time in devising brand new strategies of playing pranks not only on my family members but also my co – stars, my unit hands, my friends and sometimes even my fans. I know I have to get serious in life someday, but ‘jaldi kya hai kabhie na kabhi ho jaaoongi serious yaar’.
Do you really feel like spending a lot of money on yourself in your leisure time? And then do you feel guilty later on thinking of the entire sum spent on pampering yourself?

Now this is one area where I am really serious as I just love to indulge in pampering, with gifts galore, not only for my kith and kin but also my entire khandaan, my friends, my co – stars but certainly not my fans. Come on be sensible how can I please and pamper millions and millions of them. ‘Mujhe apna diwala nikalna hai kya?’ So you see when I travel abroad I go with one suitcase and come back with the amount of luggage that the whole Indian army would fail to cart.

And then would you please be kind enough to tell me why should I feel guilty about it? ‘Kyoonki whatever I earn, mujhe apni sasural mein thode hi le jana hai.’ Yet sometimes I become really sad because no one ever seriously thinks of pampering me yaar.

What do you like doing best in your leisure time and why? Does it mean just kicking off your shoes and relaxing or doing something more adventurous?
Have you gone mad! Why should I kick off my shoes? ‘Koi chura le jaayega toh! Okay! Okay! Jokes apart! In my leisure time I really love to help my mom that is after having totally harassed her. And I really became serious since my mother started taking my tips for my own bridal trousseau. Yeah! I think it’s high time I got married to a man of my choice and of course my best friend. No, I won’t tell you his name as yet but all of you can keep guessing. Anyway my mom is after my bridal preparation since I was that high. On the other hand I keep telling her that I would love to be adventurous. Yeah! I always tell her ‘Main sher ka shikar karna chahti hoon!’ But instead of being serious about it she just retorts, ‘Tu sher ka shikar kya karegi, sher tujhe hi kha jayega’.

What are the craziest things that you have ever done in your leisure time?
Now that was really crazy. I once went to a nearest cinema hall, clad in a burkhaa {a veil worn by Muslim women}, sat with the frontbenchers and scared the daylights out of them by unveiling myself during the intermission. Now it’s an altogether different story that I had to run for my own life once they had came out of their own dazedly shocking state.

And now finally tell us something more about your leisure time like how do you spend it while traveling abroad or within India?
I love traveling abroad. ‘Kya Karoon?’ All my directors normally picturise all my songs outside only. So do I have any choice left? But yes I do make it a point to travel within India too that is with my family sometimes mostly coinciding with my annual holiday or sometimes even to escape from the Moviedom’s humdrum routine. You know ‘Kabhie kabhie main in sabse bahut jyada bore ho jaati hoon’ just as I am bored right now by talking so much. ‘Magar kuch alag baatein hui, accha laga, okay bye! Ciao!

Australian actress Emma Brown turns Blonde for Bollywood Movies


Australian actress Emma Brown Garrett, who has already debuted in Indian movies with Bengali film Shukno Lanka, has to turn blonde for her Bollywood debut movies.
Emma will be seen in Rohan Sippy’s movie Dum Maaro Dum, which stars Abhishek Bachchan. She will star opposite Sunny Deol in Yamla Pagla Deewana, which also stars veteran actor Dharmendra.
The actress has learned to speak in Hindi for her love of Indian cinema. Emma is very careful about keeping her age secret. She said, “The Bengali film industry discovered me first and offered me a good ground before I ventured into Bollywood.”
Garrett added, “In Dum Maro Dum, I speak Russian and bad English but I speak in Hindi while acting in Yamla Pagla Deewana, where I play Sunny’s wife.”
Her debut Bengali film Shukno Lanka was released this Friday, which was directed by Gaurav Pandey and stars Debashree Roy and Sabyasachi Chakraborty. Mumbai Mantra Media Ltd and the Moxie Group co-produced the movie.
This Australian brunette was a big fan of her co-star Mithun Chakraborty before meeting him on the sets of the film.
On her Indian venture, Emma said, “I, along with my husband decided to work in India and now it has been two years in this country. He is running a financial business and I tried to utilize my acting skills and it clicked. We have almost settled down here.”

She added, “Just after two weeks of arriving here, I appointed an agent and impressed the director Gaurav Pandey with my audition. Being a huge Mithunda fan, we used to watch his movies Disco Dancer and Hum Paanch.
About her training for entering Bollywood, the actress said, “In Mumbai, I had a Punjabi guru, who taught me Urdu and Hindi from the very beginning. I can speak a little Hindi now and can read and write as well. I watch a lot of Hindi movies and try to pick from there.”
Emma is very happy to get the opportunity to work with Bollywood veterans like Mithun Chakraborty and Dharmendra, who have already passed decades in the industry.

10 crore offered for Aamir Khan’s Peepli Live


Aamir Khan seems to now be the most guaranteed good returns brand in India. Having super bumper hits like Ghajini and 3 idiots under his belt, his produced movies too, carry a stamp of quality. So it is no wonder that a TV channel has offered his soon to release film Peepli Live a whopping Rs.10 for the satellite rights. Now the amount in itself is much higher than the actual cost of the film including its expected spending on promotion and release.

Our sources inform, “Despite Aamir Khan not acting in the film, it has become hot property. But then the high price offered for TV rights is not merely because the film is produced by Aamir Khan. The channel has given such a wonderful offer to a non-star cast film after they saw the film.”
Our source further adds that Aamir Khan is also contemplating adding a song for the end credit titles of the film.
