Looks like Bollywood bombshell Mallika Sherawat has taken the Los Angeles party circuit by storm.
After a Los Angeles milkshake bar earlier named one of its milkshakes after her, now R&B superstar Usher has decided to dedicate one of his songs to the glam doll. Mallika, who is in Los Angeles working on her first Hollywood project titled Hisss, met the singer at a shop and found him handsome. “Met Usher at LA’s Best Brunch! He’s very handsome. Oh My God! Usher’s promised to dedicate a song to me,” the actress wrote on her micro-blogging page.

The very utterance of Abhay Deol brings to your minds synonyms like 'Mr. Cool' 'Dude', 'Suave' etc… to name a few. Well, there is one more 'tag' that's attached now to his name, and that is 'Mr. Caring'. And vouching for this will be none other than the bears all over.
The core cast of Anees Bazmee's rom-com Thank You just got bigger. After Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor and Bobby Deol, Irrfan Khan has been added to the cast in a pivotal role.
After having debuted with the hardcore action flick Balwaan, almost two decades ago, Suniel Shetty went on to experiment in various genres right from romance, to comedy to socially relevant films.

The tall, dark and handsome hunk from American series 'Heroes', Sendhil Ramamurthy, is making heads turn even before the first look of Gurinder Chadha's It's A Wonderful Afterlife has been revealed in India.
Nana Patekar is well aware that people are scared of him. His reputation - an angry man, off screen - precedes him. "Yes, I am aware that people feel Nana jhagda karta hain, chillata hain, but I won't say it's untrue. I do fight, I do have arguments, but it's for the betterment of the film. I have nothing against any individual," Nana tells me.
The prolific Priyadarshan has had more than his share of title problems with his new Ajay Devgn-Akshaye Khanna-Bipasha Basu starrer. A hard-hitting film about love across caste barriers and honour killing set in Bihar, Priyan wanted to call it Ishqana. But Ishqiya came along and Priyan chose Garam Hawa.

I get great opinions on me as an actor and a person. Otherwise actors end up only having sycophants around them. I like having people around me who keep me grounded."
He wasn't just role playing in the Income tax advertisement coaxing the citizens to pay their taxes, but Akshay Kumar has stood true to his image and is the highest tax payer from Bollywood for the second year straight.
If you observe director Karan Razdan's body of work, you'll realize that he has, quite often, made women-centric movies that defy stereotype...
Mitali [Rituparna Sengupta], a successful model, has dreams of marrying the prince of her dreams. She meets Karan Mittal [Rohit Roy], the heir to one of the richest families in the country. Mitali's simple, middle-class upbringing is in complete contrast to Karan's super-brat lifestyle. 
Unable to bear the humiliation and pain after she is repeatedly raped by him, Mitali decides to take charge of her life. Mitali walks out of Karan's home, hires a lawyer [Suchitra Krishnamoorthi] and files a case against her husband. Karan retaliates by hiring the best lawyer [Gulshan Grover] money can buy to fight on his behalf. 
Also, he film turns formulaic in the post-interval portions. There's an item song [Hazel], there's a hidden past of the husband [Iravati Harshe] and also his mother and a few more scenes [calling both the parties for a discussion on a TV show] that are far from convincing. Why this need to resort to clichés and formulaic stuff? Ideally, it should've been a stark and gritty film on this issue. 
Corruption has made deep inroads in every sphere of life and Shyam Benegal focuses on it in his new endeavour WELL DONE ABBA!. Like his previous film WELCOME TO SAJJANPUR, WELL DONE ABBA! is also set in rural India and has characters you either know or observed in the course of your journey.
When you weigh the pros and cons, WELL DONE ABBA! is an average fare from a maker who has made much better films in the past.
Like most Benegal movies, WELL DONE ABBA! has a story to tell with a message. Although the issue [corruption] isn't new and has been attempted in various movies before, the interesting characters and the way the story moves ahead make the effort watchable, in the first hour mainly. 
The casting is perfect and the performances, super. Boman Irani is the lifeline of WELL DONE ABBA!. You can't imagine any other actor enacting the part. He is incredible, handling the two roles differently and of course, impeccably. Minissha takes you by complete surprise. She's fantastic in a role that you never thought she could carry off. This film should make people notice this talented actor. 
I've often said, interesting ideas don't necessarily translate into enthralling celluloid experiences. That's what I realized, for the umpteenth time, as HUM TUM AUR GHOST concluded.
Now here's the hitch. The screenplay - the lifeline of any film - is what makes a film stand on its feet and in this case, HUM TUM AUR GHOST suffers due to inept writing. Ideally, the writers and director should've come to the point right away, but the film takes its own sweet time to come to the point and what comes across is also not enticing, barring a couple of attention-grabbing moments. By then, the viewer has already lost interest in the film. 
Soon, Armaan becomes aware of his special ability to connect with the dead. Equipped with a will to fulfil the wishes of these spirits who hound him, Armaan sets out on a mission to help out three souls - a child, an old man and a young woman. 
Director Kabeer Kaushik was entrusted with a great idea, but his team of writers blew it up into smithereens. The impact generated by a few worthy of note sequences gets evaporated as the film reaches its culmination, primarily because the writing doesn't hold. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music is strictly okay. Ashok Mehta's cinematography is of top quality. 
There's nothing that can rightly be called as a well deserved recognition for one who dedicated his life for cinema, to cinema and with cinema. But a Lifetime Achievement Award does come close to doing just that. The legendary Amitabh Bachchan was recently awarded yet another Lifetime Achievement Award at the 4th Asian Awards ceremony in Hong Kong.
Sajid Khan is dedicating his second directorial venture Housefull to the seven filmmakers who have inspired him the most.
The news has been out for sometime now that director Anees Bazmee's film Thank You will star Akshay Kumar and the pretty lass Sonam Kapoor. However, the latest update is that Bobby Deol has also been confirmed for a pivotal part in the film.
Bollywood seems to be back to its remake trend, the current one being remaking south Indian superhits in Hindi. Anees Bazmee is doing just that with the south hit film Ready. The original Telugu film that starred Genelia and Ram will be now remade with Salman in the lead.
Post RAAZ and 1920, you expect an enthralling horror film, with chills aplenty, from Vikram Bhatt. You presume his third horror film SHAAPIT would be even more scarier than his earlier works, mainly because Bhatt is now a seasoned player, as far as this genre is concerned.
When Kaaya's parents [Murli Sharma, Nishigandha Wad] hear about their daughter's accident, they rush to the hospital to find an engagement ring on their daughter's finger. Distraught, the father explains to the young couple that three hundred years back, their family had incurred the curse of an angry Brahmin and that curse did not allow the daughters of their family to be married. 
A number of sequences bear the unmistakable stamp of this refined storyteller - Vikram Bhatt. Sample these... 
Yet, despite the minor hiccups, Bhatt keeps you hooked to the proceedings. Those looking for chills, well, SHAAPIT has it in plenty. Also, his storytelling is super-stylish. Chirantan Bhatt's music is tuneful, although one misses the haunting tunes of RAAZ and 1920. The background score [Raju Rao] heightens the impact of the chills. Pravin Bhatt's camerawork is eye-filling. Dialogues [Girish Dhamija] are appropriate. The production design [Rajat Poddar] is excellent, especially the set of the palace. Special effects are amongst the best we've seen in Hindi movies. Costumes [Rahil Raja] are in sync with the demand of the characters.
