After giving us a hilarious Pepsi ad, the newly discovered combo of SRK and John will be seen on the silver screen for yet another acclaimed director – Rajkumar Hirani’s next film. And believe it or not there is more to the already great combination. The film is based on the famous book “Five Point Someone: What Not to Do at IIT” by Chetan Bhagat.
On the book:
Three hostelmates - Alok, Hari and Ryan get off to a bad start in IIT - they screw up the first class quiz. And while they try to make amends, things only get worse. It takes them a while to realize: If you try and screw with the IIT system, it comes back to double screw you. Before they know it, they are at the lowest echelons of IIT society. They have a five-point-something GPA out of ten, ranking near the end of their class. This GPA is a tattoo that will remain with them, and come in the way of anything else that matters - their friendship, their future, their love life. While the world expects IITians to conquer the world, these guys are struggling to survive. Will they make it? Do underperformers have a right to live? Can they show that they are not just a five-point-somebody but a five-point-someone?’
The film will go on floor in November and will release by summer next summer. Now what needs to know is who will play the third character!!! Hmmm…yet another off beat film with SRK and John for commercial element. I have lots of hopes on this one!!!
After Pepsi ad, Shahrukh and John team up again
Amitabh Bachchan not very happy with RGV’s AAG
With Amitabh Bachchan not being happy about the final product of Sholay’s remake ‘Aag’, RGV’s next film Cobra has come to a stand still. As reported earlier, the Amitabh- Abhishek and Ajay Devgan starer Cobra was RGV’s next ambitious project with the Bachchan clan. After the disastrous response from both public and critics, this project had actually become a dream for RGV but Abhishek came to his rescue by suggesting that Cobra should now have either Saif Ali Khan or Salman Khan to make it interesting. And guess what? Papa Bachchan seems very hopeful about this idea and has again taken interest in reviving RGV’s Cobra.
But to come to think of it…will Salman ever be a part of Bachchan films or rather will Salman be able to do the film because of his imprisonment? And also if Saif or Salman have a slot will Ajay be given any role in the film? God looks like RGV is in real mess, if he convinces one the other will be annoyed…

Farah Khan’s 'Om Shanti Om' is a tribute to the psychedelic 70s and 80s! Who can forget the 70s and 80s! As the lights went out in the theaters and the credits started to roll, the proceedings used to start with ‘taali maar’ (clapworthy) couplets like, ‘Fanoos ban ke jiski hifazat hawa kare, Who shama kya bujhe jise roshan khuda kare’.The movie says the director Farah will bring back the memories of the 70s and 80s.It is obvious that the movie recreates scenes from a few blockbusters of the 70s and 80s, and Shahrukh imitates a few superstars from the era!
In addition to SRK and Deepika Padukone, a host of other stars will make their appearance in the movie. Watch out for Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Salman Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Dharmaendra, Tushar Kapoor, Kajol, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherji, Urmila Matondkar, Shilpa Shetty, Juhi Chawla, Shabana Azmi and Karisma Kapoor in 'Om Shanti Om'!

Dutt refuses to comment on use of Govt. vehicle
New Delhi, Sept. 3 (PTI): Bollywood star and Mumbai serial blasts convict Sanjay Dutt's travel by a government car for his pilgrimage to Vaishno Devi cave shrine has sparked controversy with the actor today refusing to comment on the issue.
"I have no idea about it," he told reporters at the airport here after returning from the shrine in Jammu and Kashmir.
Braving rough weather, Dutt and his girlfriend, Manyata, along with two other friends visited the shrine last night.
The 48-year-old actor, sentenced to six years imprisonment in connection with the Mumbai blasts case, is currently out on bail.
Dressed in a white kurta and jeans, Dutt did not respond to any other questions and only said "Jai Mata Di" as he left for Mumbai.
In Jammu, Dutt yesterday said he would seek the deity's blessings for "everyone" including actor Salman Khan, who was convicted in a poaching case
Even pirates don't want this Bollywood movie
The pirated master print of Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag sold for a record low of Rs 50,000. In comparison, the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Chak De India sold for Rs 10 lakh. Then again, Heyy Babyy went for Rs 6 lakh and Victoria No 203 for Rs 1 lakh.
Shakeel Ahmed, a dealer in pirated film prints, says, “The disastrous reports sent the bid for the film’s master print tumbling from Rs 15 lakh to Rs 50,000.
The …Aag DVD will have two other movies in it, so the sales don’t suffer because of the poor demand for the film.”
Added M M Satish, president of the Anti Piracy Cell for T Series, who have the audio and video rights to the film, “We have received some tips and have laid traps across the country. No matter how the film fares, we will curb piracy and seize the master prints.”
Bollywood has competition from across the seas
Foreign language films are enticing metropolitan audiences leaving them craving for more
for :
Plenty of foreign language films have suddenly found an audience in India. Many embassies have been roping in their well known film makers to interact with the intellectually stimulated movie buff audience. The city has recently witnessed a surge in foreign film screenings and festivals. The most recent being a Russian Festival. Some film makers are of the likes of Goddard, Bergman, Makhmalbaf and Eisenstein; all of those who are considered to be extraordinary in their field. But what is it that charms the audience that they are ready for more variety and more content? What is making them move away, far away, from commercial Bollywood? Afternoon takes a peek into the minds of some of these movie buffs…
“I enjoy watching films that are not the typical masala flicks. There is so much debate that is created in the film. It is sad to see that only few enjoy such films because of the kind of issues they raise,” said Edna Sanghvi. The twenty year old said that she tries never to miss any of the fests that make their way into the city. “I rope in a couple of my friends who enjoy the films as much as I do. We try never to miss a single film. Sometimes, we aren’t able to make it, we make sure we rent a CD or DVD and watch the film in either one’s home.” Edna added that while she liked her share of Bollywood and Hollywood, Iranian films were what she enjoyed. “The Iranian films make use of a lot of music. They are slow moving but they deal with such complex issues in such delicate ways,” she said.
Binaya Jehangir, a foreign film buff, said, “I am glad to see the foreign film audience increasing so much. People are more open minded and are ready for new ideas. They are also ready to explore new patterns of film making. I was introduced to foreign films by my friend and the two of us rent CD’s almost every weekend. It is like a stress buster for us.” Binaya enjoys watching Eisenstein and other Russian films. “I loved Battleship Potempkin. It is so challenging. This film revolutionised film making!”
“I watch foreign films for the style of direction. I want to become a film maker sometime in the future and I hope to draw inspiration from either of the film makers who have already carved out a niche for themselves,” said Vinod Jain. The youngster loves his Bollywood films but feels that Satyajit Ray is brilliant. “I must have seen the Apu Trilogy many more times than I actually watched Sholay! I own all his films in the DVD format. Sometimes my father and I sit down to watch the films together. My sister is getting the feel of off-beat films too,” said Jain.
Nandini Basu feels the same about off-beat films and foreign language films. “They deal with issues that often go untouched by the mainstream films. Here is feminism, existentialism, Marxism; every topic stares at your face from the screen. It gives movie making and watching a whole new dimension. Anybody watching such films will be forced to read up about the issues and will thus stay abreast with these schools of thought. One must learn from anything they read or watch. It is such films that teach the audience something,” she said.
The film festivals sure have a huge audience in the metropolitan to cater to. The film enthusiasts keep growing every year and the quality of films coming in only gets better. Bollywood now, has much more competition than it had ever before!
