Katrina Kaif Back in a Bikini For 'Dostana 2'

After showing off her assets in her debut movie "Boom," sexy Katrina Kaif will return to the big screen in a banging bikini for her upcoming project "Dostana 2."

Replacing Priyanka Chopra, who shot a few sexy beach scenes herself in "Dostana" with John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan.

This will be the second time Katz dons a two-piece for a movie, and we bet fans can't wait!

Popular celeb designer Manish Malhotra been chosen to create the hot beachwear so we expect something classy yet sexy.

We are not sure what Katrina's boyfriend, B-town bad boy Salman Khan, has to say about all.

This though; during a recent interview he told reporters that he likes girls 'covered up.' Well it looks like Katrina disagrees!

And so do probably all of her of fans! Do you think Katrina Kaif will look hot in a bikini in "Dostana 2?" Share your thoughts.

Ishqiya - The Review

This is a very strange film. Strange, not so much in terms of content(pretty weird, unless you really believe there are sleepy dusty towns.

In North India where boys learn to use a gun before they learn to wash their own bottoms) as in terms of the way.

The three main characters are thrown against each other in combustions that suggest a brutal bonding between the libido and the landscape.

To the cinematographer Mohana Krishna’s credit, he creates in the suburbs of Mumbai(masquerading as Gorakhpur)

A kind of sweeping lazy ambience of leisurely selfindulgence where you can smell the sweat and other bodily emissions.

Ishqiya is the kind of cinema which you can love or hate, but cannot be indifferent to. The dusty parched sexually.

And spiritually arid hinterland renders itself effectively to the character’s unique dimensionality.

The uncle-nephew pair of Naseruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi provide the kind of sweaty grimy male bonding that we last saw in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.

Where Brad Pitt’s anti-Nazi soldiers urinated a toxic violence into the script. Ishqiya too breeds a blur of violence from the rough material of boredom.

The two protagonists in Ishqiya represent the acme of reprehensibility. Come to think of it, there isn’t one character in the plot whom you can begin to like let alone admire. Like the Naseer-Arsha-Vidya triangle the other characters are either hazy or horny, or both. There’s a businessman who sells steel on the surface and supplies illegal arms underneath. He’s supposed to represent the clan of the corrupt in the backwaters.

So pray tell, what happened to all the glorious heroes who once formed the core of our cinematic experience? And the heroine? Vidya Balan’s Krishna is a conniving victim. And if that sounds like a contradiction in terms, it is purposefully projected into a plot that pulsates with a seedy tension and a freehwheeling virile humour .

Ishqiya is the aesthetic version of toilet graffiti. The writing on the wall is very clear. Hate these characters who live by the gun and yes, the gana(Vidya Balan often hums Lata Mangeshkar’s evergreens ands Rekha Bhardawaj’s fresh recordings under her warm sweaty breath). But we can’t but look at them as a product of an ambience that breeds deception, duplicity and a desperate craving to survive the sufferings of a senselessly violent society.

How the film finds a central core of gentleness in this milieu of murky machinations and sleazy cerebrations, is another story. Or maybe it isn’t.

Debutant director Abhishek Choubey tries to create two different worlds , one of criminality and the other of compassion, within one range of vision. It’s atall order. And there’s little time or space for the characters to stop behaving as though auditioning for a reality show on how to embrace crime in a lawless no man’s land.

Some of the sex and power play among the Vidya, Arshad and Naseer characters as played out in her manless home is intriguing and arresting in its swift shits of dramatic tension from one to the other of the three characters.

Towards the second overture of this untried symphony of antipathy the writer and director conspire to create a bizarre climactic spiral involving a shady business tycoon of the area whom our trio of protagonists decide to kidnap.

By the time the kidnapping plan goes horribly awry the narrative too loses its bearings and begins to quiver and mutate like a hovel on a stormy night.

If the film holds you until the end it’s because of the principal performances. Naseeruddin Shah confers a rock-solid tenderness to his aging criminal-lover’s role. Arshad Warsi one of the most underrated actors of our cinema, gets a rare opportunity to sink his skills into a part of raunchy randy rogue, out to get the neighbourhood widow to hit the sack.

But the film belongs to Vidya Balan. With a face and eyes that convey a determination to make her way through a rough patriarchal order Vidya is tender brittle cunning and cool, all rolled into a bundle bewildering emotions that unfold more through her body language than the script.She rises above the selfindulgent realism of the narrative.

A triumph for the actress. But what of the film? How do we evaluate Ishqiya beyond its politically-charged verbally-lurid lunge at realism? Is the film to be applauded for forging a new language of expression? Or should that language have been used with more restrain and tact ?

Frankly there are no clear and simple value-judgements to be applied to Ishqiya. It’s partly a homage to the rugged Westerns from Hollywood, and partly an attempt to penetrate the North Indian small-town hinterland where people don’t just live with violence they even enjoy it. But did this film have to follow them?

Genelia D'Souza to endorse Garnier Light fairness cream

Genelia D'Souza has joined other contemporary Bolloywood starlets such as Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor in endorsing a fairness cream.

Genelia has been signed up as brand ambassador for Garnier Light fairness cream. Unmindful of the fact that.

A fairness cream is scientific humbug that panders to racist insecurities and attitudes. The "Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na" star tweeted her glee at clinching the new endorsement.

"A lot of u alrdy hrd bout my new brand, while 4 dos of u who dnt, i'm d new brand ambassador 4garnier: )"

Clearly the money that comes with such endorsements matters to Genelia, just as it matters to Deepika, brand ambassador of Johnson & Johnson's new fairness cream Neutrogena Fine Fairness, John Abraham.

Who endorses Garnier Men fairness cream, Sonam Kapoor, the face of L'Oreal white perfect.

And Katrina Kaif who endorses Olay's skin whitening cream. To all these corporate lap dogs our message is: We are disappointed.

The competition with her competitors seems to be getting tougher and she seems to shed her inhibition of insecurity by getting into fleshy act again.

Reportedly, for 'Dostana' sequel Katrina was seen clad in a bikini for two scenes, whereas the former lady of ‘Dostana’ sizzled out in gold swimsuit.

This demand for bikini wear came as per the script requirement of the movie. According to the sources report Katrina will ensemble in beachwear by the famous designer Manish Malhotra, who will design it keeping in mind her comfort level.

Arshad Warsi, Vidya Balan ISHQIYA raw, wildly unpredictable

The plot of the flick revolves around the character of two thieves played by Naseeruddin Shah (Khalujan) and Babban(Arshad Warsi). Khalujan is Babban’s uncle, but they are as different in their temperament and behavior as chalk and cheese. While, Khalujan is fed up with a gangster’s life with guns and wants to settle in his native village, Babban thinks otherwise.

Babban is young and hot blooded. He is cynical and does not value the finer things of life, like true romantic love, and believes only in physical attraction. On the other hand, Khalujan is emotional and values true love more than anything else.This difference of perception and love manifests itself clearly when they go to their friend’s place to hide from their boss.

The friend is not there and they meet his widow Krishna Verma (Vidya Balan).While Khalujan sees the gorgeous lady with an emotional eye and falls for Krishna Verma, Babban sees her physical attributes and gets attracted towards her physically and perhaps lustily.However, a twist in the story makes Khalu and Babban run for their life. What happens after that with Krishna Verma, Babban and Khalujan is revealed in the rest of the film.PERFORMANCE

Naseeruddin Shah, the veteran of bollywood who plays the character of Khalujan, enacts his part with élan. His tough looking physique and soft heartedness towards Vidya Balan presents a contrasting and most humane characteristic realistically. He is obviously pick of the lot, especially for his shocked facial expression after knowing the truth about love angle between Arshad and Vidya Balan.

Arshad Warsi, who plays the character of Babban in the film, has grabbed the chance to showcase his talent after Munnabhai MBBS’ circuit. The man looks so natural and effortless in his performance.performance. The wild and raw character has Vidya Balan in full flow, and the gorgeous actress comes out of all these with flying colors.

The child actor also leaves his imprint while interacting with Arshad Warsi in the film. Others, like the one playing Vidya’s husband, also enacted his part well. Others provided able support to the main cast of the film.

The direction of Abhishek Choubey has spark of making of a genius. Abhishek shows his mastery of the craft in the number ‘Dil To Bachcha hai ji’, where he handles the change of events with consummate ease. Even the love making sequence between Arshad and Vidya has been shot aesthetically.The movie really becomes engrossing in the second hour but it becomes somewhat confusing in the climax sequence. It could have been simpler for the hoi polloi and aam janta, but it does not mean that the director has lost his grip even once.

The music of Vishal Bhardwaj is one of the highlights of the flick. Two numbers ‘Ibn batuta’ and ‘Dil To Bchcha hai ji’ are already popular with the audiences. The cinematography by Mohan Krishna is up to the mark. Dialogues suit the rural set up and add punch to the storyline.

STARDUST VERDICT Naseeruddin Shan, Vidya Balan and Arshad Warsi have done a splendid job in the film. The wild and unpredictable rawness of ‘Ishqiya’ is superb. The superb music should attract the viewers to theatres. A brilliant fare.

Who has been vying to work with acclaimed director Madhur Bhandarkar for long now has finally caught the taskmaster’s attentio.

And will be seen in a film by the maverick filmmaker. And it’s all owing to Kareena’s desire to bag the prestigious National Award.

Considering that there are so many random awards of late, the only award that is considered prestigious is the National Film Awards.

And Madhur is much too pleased to oblige the sizzler’s request. Confirming the story a source told a daily, "Madhur is planning to direct a hard-sitting social film for which he wants Kareena.

She has been offered Madhur`s film. It`s a fantastic, heroine-oriented script and she is meeting him for a narration. Bebo is very excited to be working with him. They have both been keen on working together for a long time.

Its too early to talk about it, but yes, if Katrina does come into our project, she will be cast opposite Hrithik. He is the only one who gets to romance his love interest.

Abhay and I have no love interest in the film. Farhan adds that the bonding among the three costars is the backbone of Zoyas film.

Katrina has never worked with a woman director before, and neither has she worked with Hrithik. Shooting for the film starts in April.

Ranbir, Katrina will win National Awards for Raajneeti - Prakash Jha

"This film will take Ranbir to another level," said Jha. He has cast the actor as US-educated scion of a political dynasty who has to reluctantly return home to shoulder his family's duties.

"I hope, no, I'm in fact pretty certain, he'll win the National Award for his performance," Jha told us. "Katrina has breathed fire and passion into her role.

Audiences won't be able to believe the transformation of Katrina. I won't be surprised if both Ranbir and Katrina win National Awards," he added.

A desh bakht Amrita

Republic Day is here… and here’s a hottie who very concerned about the way this patriotic day is celebrated these days.

Amrita Rao is quite unhappy that although we Indians are on par with other developing countries of world, somewhere we have lost the passion for patriotism.

“For us our daily needs and the craze for success has become our priority and celebrating the important days of 15th August and 26th January are just a formality,” stated the actress.

While people living in remote areas of India are not interested in Constitution and its articles, the urbanites pass the day as just another national holiday, feels Amrita.

She added that although Republic Day is celebrated every year one forgets about its significance the very next day.

Amrita also shared her views on today’s politicians, democracy and developments of India.

“We are seeing a developing India in metros and big cities and not the real India, which reside.

In the villages,” stated Rao, “Poverty, unemployment, illiteracy are the common problems faced by the people in far-flung areas. If people are not literate then how can they possibly understand the importance of democracy? Not only our political leaders.

It is our duty as well to turn India into a prosperous nation, only then would the hard work of Ambedkar and his Constituent Assembly show positive results.” On Republic Day, Amrita is planning to watch the parade on the big screen or may fly to New Delhi for it. We wish her and our readers a very Happy Republic Day! Jai Hind!

Mallika Sherawat’s transparent bikini angers brother

Mallika Sherawat can comfortably slip into most outrageous and revealing dresses as was quite evident at the premiere of ‘Inglourious Basterds’ in Hollywood last year.

But the bikini she donned for the shoot of a sequence in director Jennifer Lynch’s movie Hissss left so little to imagination that her brother barged onto the movie’s sets in Madh Island and stopped the shoot midway.

If reports are to be believed, Mallika was wearing a semi-transparent skin-coloured bikini that gave the impression of total nudity.

Also present at the shoot was a nude body-double for Mallika.Apparently, what Jennifer wanted was to shoot Mallika’s face and take shots of the nude body double and then merge them together on the editing table

However, Mallika’s brother Vikram Lamba, who is also one of the producers of the film, didn’t approve of his sister wearing such.

A revealing bikini and reportedly stopped the shoot, demanding that Mallika be given a better dress.A heated argument followed between Vikram and Govind Menon, another co-producer. Surprisingly, Mallika sided with Menon and said she had no problem wearing the translucent bikini.But it was Vikram who eventually had his way and Mallika was given a skin-coloured bodysuit.

Shahrukh bats for Pakistani players in IPL

The team owners of the India Premier League (IPL) have so far stood together on the issue of not bidding for any Pakistani players in the third edition of the event.

They had come out in the media denying any foul play. But now a prominent voice among them has stood up and voiced his opposition to the issue. It is none other than the Baadshah of Bollywood, Shahrukh Khan who owns the Kolkata Knight Riders.

In an interview to a leading news channel Shahrukh Khan said "They are the champions.

They are wonderful but somewhere down the line there is an issue and we can't deny it. We are known to invite everyone. We should have. If there were any issues, they should have been put on board earlier. Everything can happen respectfully,"

It may be recalled that Shahrukh Khan who had taken active part in the bidding of the players in the first season had shown keen interest in Pakistani players. He had roped in Umar Gul and maverick Pakistani pacer Shoaib Akhtar in the first season. Shahrukh's statement is bound to add to the controversy especially after fellow Bollywood celebrities Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty having gone out in full support of the fairness of the bidding process.

I don't wear burqa after marriage - Ayesha Takia

Was Ayesha Takia spotted in a burqa after marriage? Have her in-laws clamped down on her freedom to act in films? These are the rumours that one hears in the film industry.

Ayesha Takia is more amused than exasperated by attempts to put her into the retired-actress' bracket after marriage. The word being spread is that Ayesha has married into an ultra-conservative family where acting is perhaps not permitted.

“I'm amazed at the games people play. The other day someone asked me if I've started wearing a burqa after marriage, ” laughs Ayesha. “Far from feeling clamped I now have the freedom to do more things than before. My parents-in-law are cool about my business ventures with my husband and my film career.”

“And that's so ridiculous, ” says Ayesha with a laugh. “Farhan and I went around together for five years before marriage. So there goes the convervative card. Suddenly after we make it official I hear all kind of rumours including the fact that I'm out of Revathy Varmha's film and that I've been replaced by some other actress.

Says Ayesha, “I've never felt the need to grab roles.I've got what I wanted. And it will continue that way. I always felt Wanted would be the first big hit of my career. Ironical that it should come now after my marriage. And I've got more to do in it than the leading lady in a Salman vehicle would be expected to. In fact I was blown away by the way I was presented. And why should I give up a dream role like the one in Revathy's film? She's new to the Mumbai industry and quite nervous about these controversies.” Revathy Varhma and Ayesha's mother are very close friends. “Revathy comes home regularly. We all laugh at the way the casting is being questioned by people who probably have nothing better to do.”

Ayesha now intends to focus on new business venture. “I started working in films when I was only 15. And I just realized I've been at it since then. I need to venture out. It's time to try out new things in life. Today a young woman has so many opportunities to do so many things. I'm fortunate to have a name and a face that's recognizable. I want to use that to my advantage and start a clothes line by the middle of next year.” Ayesha, her mom and sister Natasha are going to be partners in the garment business. Laughs Ayesha, “All three of us are very excited about doing the clothes line. We love fashion It's basically for the girls in the family.” Ayesha's husband Farhan will be there to help his wife and her family with the clothes line. “Yes, Farhan's there to help us women in every way possible.” Marriage hasn't changed Ayesha. “I'm the same. I always will be. Post-marriage I'm exactly the same. That could be because I was seeing Farhan from long before. Psychologically we were married long before. It feels like we were serious about each other forever.”

Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar and Tarun Mansukhani’s Dostana 2, which should take care of this year.

“Why put in so much money into a new home when I have a perfectly comfortable one at the moment?”

Whether the 2012 groom will be Salman Khan or someone she still has to meet, or whether.

Wet holi scene for Aishwarya

Even Bollywood doesn’t pass up a chance to underline how socially responsible it is.

Recently, Vipul Shah was to shoot Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s entry sequence for Action Replay, which is a holi song.

He had visualised the song as an exotic affair with lots of water and colour in every frame.

In fact, Vipul had prepared visuals of the song with a specialised camera. But the preparations were later called off.

When the filmmaker realised they should not waste so much water, given that the city was facing a water crisis.

Vipul Shah was very forthcoming about his change of heart. “Yes it is true that we are not going ahead with the earlier planned water sequence in the holi song as we would have used at least 70-80 tankers of water for the three day shoot. It is an elaborate song with 500 extras and 150 dancers involved.

I was very excited about it but then realised the magnitude of the water scarcity the city is facing. Aishwarya also opined that we should not go ahead with the plan. Both of us were on the same page on this. We have now decided to shoot it in a different way. The entire visual of the song has been reworked - it will still be a holi song but without water. It will be completely dry.”

Veer Movie review - Salman Khan looks awesome in new avatar

Gadar fame Anil Sharma's latest venture 'Veer' starring Bollywood Machoman Salman Khan is all set to hit the theaters on Friday.

Beautiful model Zarine Khan is making her Bollywood debut with 'Veer'.

Zarine has already hogged limelight for her similar look with Salman's girlfriend Katrina Kaif.

The Bollywood "Wanted" boy has been returning to period drama, which is based on Nikolai Gogol's book, 'Taras Bulba'.

Interestingly, the story has been written by Salman Khan himself some 20-year-ago. The film has been completed at a huge budget of Rs 44 crore (Approx).

Movie review: The story of the film 'Veer' is based on a love story between Pindari soldier and Rajasthani Princess in the backdrop of war of independence.

Salman plays a character of brave Pindari soldier named Veer. The Pindari community prefers death over dishonour and fights till last breath. Zarine, who looks a like Katrina, plays the role of princess Yashodhara, who falls in love with Veer. The movie starts with the colonial India of British rule. The Kings of India fall prey to Britishers' divide and rule policy. But there is a community, who proffered death to save the independence.

Set in colonial India, the film encapsulates a period when the British enslaved India with their divide and rule policy and kings and nawabs fell for it, except for the Pindaris who preferred death to dishonour and fought till their last breath. Salman plays one of the bravest and strongest Pindari soldiers named Veer.

As Veer takes on the might of the British Empire, he also has to fight the conniving King of Madavgarh as well as his own jealous tribesmen. The stakes are high as he has to avenge his father's dishonour as well as get over the hurdles in love as he romances princess Yashodhara, the daughter of his sworn enemy. Shot extensively in Rajasthan, it is a story of bravery, treachery and love.

Also shot in Britain, it is also the first Bollywood film to be shot in the premises of Buckingham Palace. Despite having the facility of special effects, the film also boasts of using thousands of real horses and other animals for authenticity.

You must watch Veer for to know at what cost Salman fight, at stake is his love for princess Yashodhara, daughter of his sworn enemy or at stake is his thirst to avenge his father's dishonour The movie is all set to beat the records of Salman's last blockbuster Wanted. Salman looks awesome in a role of Pindari soldier while Zarine also proved her worth in the movie.

Salman lashes out after comparison with Pitt

Salman Khan lost his cool after being told that his look in Veer seemed to be a rip-off from Brad Pitt's image in the Hollywood epic Troy.

The incident took place at a press conference in New Delhi, to promote Salman's upcoming film Veer.

Salman launched an angry outburst at the journalist who asked him about his look in the movie.

"From what angle do you think my look is similar to any Hollywood actor's?" Salman thundered.

"Brad Pitt, for example, was wearing a mini-skirt in his film but I'm not. And does my hair in the posters look blonde to you (like Pitt's)?

Plus, I am wearing an allleather ensemble in Veer." Salman said he had sported blonde hair.

In Sooryavanshi, a dud flick he made in 1992. "So should I accuse Pitt of stealing my style in Troy?" he fumed.

That's not all. "And that other guy - what's his name - Russell Crowe, had long hair in Gladiator and I also have long hair in Veer. All this talk about similar looks is rubbish. A period war movie can't be with the hero wearing T-shirts and jeans, or a ghagracholi," he went on. He even told the reporter who had asked him the question that he (the scribe) would have looked great in a ghagra-choli with a gold chain on his waist.
