What do you do when a country, culture and their purveyors wrong you irreparably? You plant a bomb in a speeding train and hold the Establishment to ransom.

When you think of the term ‘Cool Dude’ the one name that comes to your mind in Bollywood is Zayed Khan. Be it on screen or off screen, Zayed is known to be a person with a unique style statement of his own
Mallika Sherawat v/s Priyadarshan drama has taken a new turn. Though it was widely believed that one had heard the last of controversy around the item song in Tezz , there is a twist in the tale. Also, it is Priyadarshan who is now having the final say, what with the song being totally snipped off the film
Seems like the flip-flop around Kangna’s role in movies has become a trend. Even though those around her claim that she plays a bit part in Tezz and she too is keeping mum around the so called issue related to her disappearance from the film’s promotional plan, the makers insist that none of that is true. In fact they are going all out to ensure that she gets due credit for the film and there is no bad blood towards her as was the case in her last release Rascals .
Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s recently-concluded 10-film retrospective has brought into light his body of work. Chopra who began his career with a diploma film Murder At Monkey Hill can look back at his work with some pride.

Bollywood Hungama’s Nikhil Ramsubramaniam caught up with Vivek Agnihotri and spoke to him about his boldest film that’s sure to raise a few eyebrows in the days to come
Madhuri Dixit and Anil Kapoor, who have shared sizzling chemistry in films like Beta, Khel, Ram Lakhan and Tezaab amongst others, will be walking the red carpet for the screening of their 1989 National Award winning super hit film Parinda at PVR Cinema Juhu on March 30th. There were reports of a fallout between Anil and Madhuri over Madhuri’s refusal to play Sonam Kapoor’s mother in Anil’s desi remake of Freaky Friday , but all is well now as they will be attending the screening of their film Parinda together
They say ‘every success in life comes with a price’. Well, this couldn’t have been truer than in the case of ‘Mr. Jhakaas’ Anil Kapoor, whose ‘acquired Brit accent’ has now led him to re-dub the entire film Tezz , which stars him along with Ajay Devgn

Some of the finest filmmakers got together to discuss ‘The Art of Movie Making’ from a Director’s point of view at a jam packed session held on Day 2 of FICCI-Frames 2012 convention in Mumbai. The panelists included renowned directors such as Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, Imtiaz Ali, Amole Gupte along with international filmmakers Robyn Kershaw and Oscar winning director Bruce Beresford. Here are a few snapshots from the interesting session: Bruce kickstarted the session giving a brief background of himself
Now that’s what one calls the ‘Aamir Khan effect’. Release date of his Talaash being moved from June to November has resulted in quite a few equations getting impacted.
On the face value it pretty much seems like all around support from Ekta Kapoor that ‘inspired’ Sanjay Gupta to make Shootout At Wadala .
If all goes as per plan, Bollywood would pretty much be creating a record of maximum number of sequels/franchises/prequels releasing this winter. At last count, as many as four such films are slated for release in the last five weeks of the year. With more films already in production, this number may well go up
Ajay Devgn and Kangna Ranaut’s romantic paring in Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai received a lot of praise and interest amongst the audience.

B-town’s tall and beautiful Deepika Padukone has excited top line producer Ramesh Taurani the owner of Tips… But in a different way… The bimbo’s last minute bye-bye to from Tips’ ambitious thriller ‘Race 2’ starring Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Amisha Patel and Jacqueline has left producer Ramesh Taurani miffed….
Deepika Padukone’s decision to walk out of producer Ramesh Taurani’s multi-starrer Race 2 , after shooting for six days, has angered Taurani to no extent. He feels her behavior was totally uncalled for and is extremely unethical, unprofessional and unacceptable. Deepika’s leaving the film has caused havoc with the dates of the other stars in the film like Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Ameesha Patel and Jacqueline Fernandes.
It’s an all-out war for Mohanlal’s fans. Malayali maverick actor Mohanlal who agreed to do just a cameo in Priyadarshan’s Tezz , didn’t know what he was getting himself-and the film’s makers-into.
