films

First it were the Chopra-Johar-Barjatiya creations that sent ripples down the west (especially in the NRI concentrated areas) where the people tried to catch the Indian experience through their movies.

And now, Bollywood has reached the academic centres of this part of the world.
The study of Indian films is now a part of many reputed western Universities’ course curriculum including University of Manchester, University of California, Berkeley (UC, Berkeley) and Cardiff University!

Where on one hand, Saif Ali Khan shaadi ke sapne sajo raha hai, on the other, Kareena Kapoor has publicly declared that currently she will only focus on her career… and nothing else!

Kareena Kapoor, recently made this declaration at an event, while she unveiled the latest issue of Filmfare that features Bebo, herself, on its cover.

She made this statement when the media noticed the huge diamond ring on her left hand and rumours went about regarding her engagement to Saif Ali Khan!

When the world awaits the release of this grand period film casting the biggest stars of Bollywood, who can it be, who is fearing Jodhaa Akbar?

No gals! It is not our poor Abhishek Bachchan, fearing that his "conservative" family will have to witness another onscreen kiss by his wife and Hritik Roshan like it happened in Dhoom-2 ! It’s the competitors!

When the release of such a big movie is scheduled; all other movies fear competition. And thus, all of them have decided to Stay Away!

What I the key to success? Controversies! At least in Bollywood… if nowhere else!

Revolutionary stores, big stars, big banners, big stars and their kids … they all seem passé. Today the secret of a hit lies in the scale of controversy it can produce!

Consider the latest flicker, Aaja Nachle. The fact that dancing diva, Madhuri Dixit, is making a comeback after years in a foot tapping flicker didn’t stir people up as much as the controversial song which is said to create caste discrimination!
