Amitabh Bachchan cancels event in Dubai due to ill health
India’s most iconic star-actor Amitabh Bachchan has been feeling a little under the weather lately. He was in hospital for a complete health check-up. And though he has been served an all-clear by the medical experts, the mega-star has decided to take it easy for a while. Amitabh Bachchan cancels event in Dubai due to ill health Keeping this in mind, Mr Bachchan cancelled his appearance at the Sharjah International Book Fair on Wednesday, October 30. A big blow to his fans in the Middle East, many of whom had flown into the Book Fair from distant cities just to see the iconic star speak. A source close to Big B says, “The cancellation can’t be helped. He has been working really hard in the past few years in spite of doctors’ warnings. He has now been given a final warning about his health. If he continues to push himself he may have a serious health lapse. He is now in the mood to relax for a while.”

Ajay Devgn - Ranveer Singh in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s BAIJU BAWRA?

Ajay Devgn - Ranveer Singh in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s BAIJU BAWRA?
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s decision to go into his next project, a remake of the 1952 classic Baiju Bawra has aroused a whole lot healthy curiosity in the audience. That it would be a musical opus in the grand style of Bhansali’s Devdas goes without saying. The question is who would play the two main protagonists, the musical legend Tansen and the protégée Baiju, who outdoes his mentor thereby incurring his mentor’s jealous wrath. Ajay Devgn - Ranveer Singh in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s BAIJU BAWRA Sources say Bhansali has offered the parts of the mentor and pupil to Ajay Devgn and Ranveer Singh. While Ranveer is fine with playing the passionate musical prodigy Baiju, Devgn apparently has reservations about playing the legendary Tansen. Sources say he has been there, done it before. “In Vipul Shah’s London Dreams in 2009 Devgn played the jealous musician who feels threatened by his friend Salman Khan’s talent. Devgn is not keen to be seen in the space again,” says an informed source. In the original Baiju Bawra in 1952, Surendra had played Tansen and Bharat Bhushan had played Baiju. The Oscar-winning Hollywood film Amadeus is also based on the same story of two talented musicians, the mentor being outdistanced by the pupil. The challenge for Sanjay Bhansali is to create a semi-classical music score to rival Naushad’s monumental score in Baiju Bawra. The original had imperishable classic songs like ‘Tu Ganga Mauj Main Jamuna Ka Dhara’, ‘Oh Duniya Ke Rakhwale’, ‘Man Tarpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj’ and ‘Bachpan Ki Mohabbat Ko’.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui assures Thackeray sequel is in works
Nawazuddin Siddiqui won accolades for his portrayal of the late Shiva Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray in Sanjay Raut’s produced film titled Thackeray. During the announcement itself, it was revealed that the Abhijit Panse directorial will be two-part film. After the film’s release, rumours were rife that the second part was shelved. But, Nawazuddin has assured that the film is currently under works. Nawazuddin Siddiqui assures Thackeray sequel is in works Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who is currently promoting Motichoor Chaknachoor, said that the initial idea was to make the film in two parts so that question to shelve the project does not arise at all. He said that the first part received a good response and the makers are currently working on the sequel script. He said that he had spoken to Sanjay Raut a few months ago and the producer assured that the second part is in works. While there is no confirmed timeline for the sequel, Nawazuddin Siddiqui shared that the makers were busy with the elections and he is tied up with his films. Since it would require him to get into the skin of the character again, it will take time before the sequel happens. On the work front, Nawazuddin is awaiting his next release Motichoor Chaknachoor, a wedding comedy that is slated for November 15th, 2019 release. He has just wrapped up Bole Chudiyan, helmed by Shamas Nawab Siddiqui. Besides these, he has eight films in his kitty among which The Serious Men, No Man’s Land, and Raat Akeli Hai are in the list to name a few.

Ujda Chaman movie review: Sunny Singh film tests your patience



Movie Review: Ujda Chaman

Movie Review: Ujda Chaman
Over the years, there have been several films that have tackled various conditions that lower a person’s self-esteem like skin colour, obesity, stunted growth etc. Premature balding, however, has rarely been the central plot point of a film. Two very lesser known films like I M 24 [2012], HAIR IS FALLING [2011] etc have dealt with the issue but they sank without a trace. Producer Abhishek Pathak for his directorial debut, UJDA CHAMAN, tackles this idea in the romcom space. So does UJDA CHAMAN manage to entertain and move audiences? Or does it fail to entertain? Let’s analyse. Movie Review: Ujda Chaman UJDA CHAMAN is the story of a man in search of a life partner. Chaman Kohli (Sunny Singh) is a 30-year-old lecturer in Delhi’s Hansraj College. He has faced acute hair loss in the last five years, affecting his self-esteem and also his marriage prospects. His parents, Shashi Kohli (Atul Kumar) and Sushma Kohli (Grusha Kapoor) put his five-year-old picture in his marriage bio-data and when he goes to see a prospective bride, he wears a cap. Sadly, the cap comes off and the prospective bride and her family kick the Kohli’s from their house. Their family astrologer (Saurabh Shukla) adds to their tension as he claims that if Chaman doesn’t get married before his 31st birthday, he’ll remain celibate for life. Chaman tries to find love, first at the marriage ceremony of a friend but it proves futile. Later, he tries to woo a fellow lecturer, Ekta (Aishwarya Sakhuja) but she rejects him as she is already dating someone. All of a sudden, a first-year student, Aaina Ali Khan (Karishma Sharma) shows interest in Chaman. Chaman falls for her but in no time, he realizes that she hung out with him for vested interests. With no other option, Chaman accepts his father’s suggestion and downloads Tinder. He uploads his picture, but by cropping his bald patch. In no time, he matches with Apsara (Maanvi Gagroo), who is overweight and just like Chaman, she too puts a close up picture to hide her so-called imperfection. Both decide to meet and obviously get shocked looking at each other. What happens next forms the rest of the film. UJDA CHAMAN is an official remake of the 2017 Kannada film, ONDU MOTTEYA KATHE (Writer: Raj B Shetty). Danish J Singh's adapted story has immense potential as a lot of people can relate to the goings on shown in the film. But Danish J Singh's screenplay plays spoilsport. The narrative is engaging but only in parts. Danish J Singh's dialogues are funny and matter-of-fact. Abhishek Pathak's direction is not worthy enough. The execution seems a bit amateurish and over-the-top. The manner in which Chaman is ridiculed almost on a daily basis by the students because of his receding hairline is too much. Moreover, the direction style is not consistent. The second half looks very different from the first half. Also, with nothing unique happening in the film, the narrative becomes extremely predictable. On the positive side, a few scenes work like the track of Aaina and the hospital scene. UJDA CHAMAN begins on a fun but very loud note with the initial portions being mildly engaging. The humour looks forced in the scene where Chaman attempts to assault his brother Goldy (Gagan Arora). The track of Aaina is thankfully better but still, the film doesn’t reach a high. The intermission point is interesting and the film seems promising from here on. And the initial portions of the second half are very entertaining as Chaman and Apsara get close. But after a point, nothing novel or interesting happens. The film gets dragging and predictable. The final scene is cute but comes too late in the film. Ujda Chaman EXCLUSIVE Interview with Sunny Singh & Abhishek Pathak | Remake | Trailer’s Response Sunny Singh gives his best but the desired impact is not made. The manner in which he seems so serious and lifeless throughout the film is difficult to digest. Even his narration in the beginning is needlessly done in a sombre tone. Maanvi Gagroo does quite better and is a natural. Her issues and predicaments seem very relatable and she plays the part nicely. Atul Kumar also does a genuinely good job. Grusha Kapoor is very loud. Gagan Arora is passable. Karishma Sharma plays her part as per the requirement. Aishwarya Sakhuja has a great screen presence. Sharib Hashmi (Raj) is good but sadly his track is predictable. Saurabh Shukla is strictly okay. Music is disappointing. Only 'Chand Nikla' gets registered. The rest of the songs like 'Twinkle Twinkle', 'Outfit' and 'Oh Bandeya' are forgettable. Hitesh Sonik's background score is too loud and dramatic. Sudhir K Chaudhary's cinematography is neat. Tarpan Srivastav's production design is in sync with the film’s setting. Preetisheel Singh's make up and prosthetics are flawless. Rahil Raja and Himanshi Nijhawan's costumes are realistic. Mitesh Soni's editing is sans complaint and the film’s length is appropriate at 120 minutes. On the whole, UJDA CHAMAN has a promising and relatable story but the inconsistent execution and predictable narrative spoils the show. At the box office, thanks to limited buzz and lack of popular names, the film will have a difficult time.

Bigg Boss 13: Shefali Bagga misses her family; reveals it is her first Diwali away from home

Bigg Boss 13: Shefali Bagga misses her family; reveals it is her first Diwali away from home
The house of Bigg Boss is no less than a nightmare for the celebrities as they are not allowed to connect with the outside world, especially with the festive season around. With no source of entertainment or access to phones, it is but natural to miss your family during Diwali. In a recent clip on VOOT’s Unseen Undekha, the most outspoken contestant Shefali Bagga shows her sensitive side in a conversation with Mahira Sharma. Bigg Boss 13: Shefali Bagga misses her family; reveals it is her first Diwali away from home The emotional dialogue between the two divas starts when Shefali tells Mahira that this is her first Diwali away from home. She goes on to say “Otherwise meri jitni bhi Diwali gayi hain, thodi der ke liye hoti toh thi hi pooja ke liye ghar pe.” Mahira tries to lift her spirit and responds “Ab who tujhe dekh rahe honge.” Referring to her family members, Shefali goes on to say “Yaad kar rahe honge aur poore din sochte honge ki kya kar rahi hogi.” Commenting on the format of the show where brawls and disputes are very common, Mahira says “Yaha toh itni saari cheezein hoti hain, jab bahar dikhti hongi toh aisa lagta hoga shit yaar ye kya ho raha hai, andar khoon hi na kar dein.” In total agreement with Mahira, Shefali expresses “Sar fodenge ek doosre ka, ye tension ho rahi hogi gharwalon ko na. Naye logo ke beech mein aap kitna bhi reh lo bonding ho jaati hai initially ya jo bhi, lekin jo strength hai na woh ghar walo se hi hi milti hai koi kitna bhi close ho jaye.” “Of course, tabhi toh khoon ke rishtey khoon ke hote hain,” adds Mahira in a very filmy style. Shefali, who is otherwise known to play the game on her own conditions shows her obedient side and quips “Kuch bhi keh lo at the end aap karoge wahi jo ghar wale keh denge ek baari.” Shefali then goes on to express how in daily lives, we all neglect our family and gives out a priceless piece of advice. “Aur bahar jab hum hote hain, pata nahi time kaise time nikalta jaata hai busy rehte hain idhar udhar kabhi ghumne chale gaye aur yaha aae hain toh soch rahe hain ghar walo ke baare mein. Explaining how keeping your family is of utmost importance, Shefali mentions the little things that matter. She ends the conversation on a emotional note, “Khush rahe yaar bas, parents na khush rehne chahiye. Apne parents ko na jitna ho sake insaan khush rakhe, chhoti chooti cheezein na matter karti hain ek baar unke sath bas baith jao, hug kar lo unse baat kar lo, itna puch lo ki din kaisa gaya koi problem toh nahi hai, toh bhi ghar wale khush ho jaate hain.” Also Read: Bigg Boss 13: Kaanta Laga girl Shefali Jariwala to enter the house as wild card contestant

Parde par unka ek din ka karyalay poore desh ne dekha aur saraha hai. Devendra Fadnavis aur Aaditya Thackeray kya soch hai? (Until we find a solution for Maharashtra, let's make Anil Kapoor the Chief Minister. His one-day act [as a CM] has been witnessed and loved on the big screen by the entire nation. What say, Devendra Fadnavis and Aaditya Thackeray?),' he wrote. Kapoor had a witty response to this. 'I better be the 'Nayak' (actor) only,' he wrote. Nayak, also starring Rani Mukerji and Amrish Puri, was directed by S. Shankar and starred Kapoor as a TV journalist who puts up a brilliant show as the CM for a day and is later elected as one.

Watch: Shah Rukh Khan gets nostalgic as a Parisian fan sings iconic DDLJ song
Shah Rukh Khan isn't only India's own romantic icon, but enjoys a global fan base. Add to that the fact that language is really no bar in romance. Hence, we weren't surprised when we stumbled upon this video of a man in Paris, playing and humming SRK's iconic track 'Tujhe Dekha Toh Ye Jana Sanam' from Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Watch: Shah Rukh Khan gets nostalgic as a Parisian fan sings iconic DDLJ song The video came to SRK' notice courtesy a fan, who spotted the man in Paris. The Parisian was indeed enjoying the melody as he also started singing at the end. Several Indians gathered to take a video! This got SRK truly nostalgic. Sharing it on Twitter, he wrote, 'Suddenly just...missed Yashji. Maybe it’s the singers cap?' For anyone who didn't get the reference, crawl the internet and you'd find photos of late Yash Johar, wearing a similar cap.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Nawazuddin Siddiqui reveals why an actor should NOT overdo their scenes

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Nawazuddin Siddiqui reveals why an actor should NOT overdo their scenes
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is undoubtedly one of the finest actors this film industry has seen. The actor has given some of his brilliant performances in films like Gangs Of Wasseypur, Manto, Raman Raghav 2.0, Badlapur, Haramkhor among others. His stint in digital platform with Sacred Games too turned out to be a super success. EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Nawazuddin Siddiqui reveals why an actor should NOT overdo their scenes Speaking EXCLUSIVELY to Bollywood Hungama recently during the promotions of Motichoor Chaknachoor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui was asked about working with Athiya Shetty and how one should perform in scenes. "Mujhe aisa lagta hai ki kabhi bhi kisi actor ko aisa ahsaas nahi dilaana chahiye ki you are something. Aap usmein merge ho jao. Kabhi aap jyaada hai, kabhi aap usse kam ho. Yeh pura give and take hona bahut zaroori hota hai. Ki main apni acting lo lekar kisi pe phenk ke maaru ki 'tujhe pata hai main kitna bada actor hoon?'', yeh toh phir uss din se downfall shuru ho jayega. Ek mahaul hota hai aur uss mahaul mein merge hona hota hai aapko. Kabhi kabhi situation aisi hai ki aap usmein kam ho toh kam khelna chahiye aapko. (I feel that one should never make anyone feel that you are something. You should get into the skin of the character. Sometimes, you are above the role, sometimes the character is above you. There should be a full give and take. I can't take my acting too seriously and go around saying that 'you know who I am?'. Your downfall begins from that day onwards. You have to analyze the atmosphere and merge into your character. Sometimes when the situation is where you are less in the scene, you have to play accordingly)," says Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Nawazuddin Siddiqui further talked about what his theatre teacher had taught them. "Hamare ek teacher the, Russian teacher the aur hamare 3rd year mein play karne aaye the. Woh bolte the ki agar kisi scene mein aapki 5 % demand hai toh utna hi karo, usmein extra nikal ke aane koshish na karo kyunki woh dikh jaati hai. Agar aapka character aisa hai ya unka character aisa hai toh woh respect rakhna bahut zaruri hai scenes mein. Agar aap kam ho toh aap kam hi khelo, usko woh respect do. Toh yeh zaruri hota hai. Agar main har jagah apni acting dekhane laga, toh uss din se sab khatam ho jayega.(We had a Russian teacher in 3rd year who had come for a play. He used to say that 'if there is a 5% demand of you in a scene, do not overdo it because it reflects easily. If your character or someone else's character has less screen time, so you should maintain that respect. If you have less time, you should respect that and work accordingly. If I start showing off my acting chops in everything, then it will be over for me)," added Nawazuddin. Motichoor Chaknachoor is set to release on November 15, 2019.

Alia Bhatt.. writing her own destiny,even between shots! ???? #Sadak2 #day50 #sadak2diaries #candidcamera #onlocation #ooty #tamilnadu #????

Alia, who wrapped the Ooty schedule today, is paired with Aditya Roy Kapur, in Sadak 2. The film also stars Sadak stars Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt in pivotal roles. Once she finishes shooting for Sadak 2, Alia will also kick start Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi. While her much ambitious film Inshallah with Bhansali got shelved indefinitely, Gangubai Kathiawadi has got the fans excited already. At the same time, she is also awaiting the release of Brahmastra, which pairs her with beau Ranbir Kapoor for the first time.

What’s common between Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Ayushmann Khurrana?

What’s common between Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Ayushmann Khurrana?
Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Ayushmann Khurrana are the next gen superstars who are carving a niche for themselves in the hearts of audiences with their body of work. All three are stellar performers who people wait to watch on screen and looks like there is something common between these three youth icons. Let’s find out what... What’s common between Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Ayushmann Khurrana “Ranveer, Ranbir and Ayushmann have built their fan base with their incredible body of work. While Ranveer and Ranbir have done big ticket or larger than life cinema which have become blockbusters, Ayushmann has delivered six hits in a row with slice of life cinema in which he not only celebrated the heroics of a common man but also gave audiences a message with his cinema. His strong track record has earned him an enviable reputation of being a bankable star. And when you deliver hits and choose the best scripts that the industry is making, your value as a bankable endorser also goes up as there is a lot of credibility that gets attached to the brand,” says an industry insider. The informer adds, “Endorsing a potato chips brand has been a territory of the superstars across years. The reason: such brands have only chosen stars with incredible reach and credibility. And if you look at who is endorsing the top 3 potato chips brands currently, you will see Ranveer, Ranbir and now Ayushmann. This basically goes on to show the rise of Ayushmann’s equity as a star in India. Due to his choice of excellent scripts and a superb run of delivering 6 hits in a row, which includes two big 100 crore blockbusters, he has emerged as one of the most reliable and credible faces in the industry.” Ayushmann’s current line-up includes Bala, Gulabo Sitabo, Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan - all premium content films that are much awaited by the industry.

Salman Khan calls Shah Rukh Khan 'hero' after the latter saves Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's manager from fire And Salman's appreciation post for his friend is unique too. He shared a clip of SRK from Happy New Year. You hear Salman saying, 'Hero woh hota hai jo aag mein kood ke, bhuja ke, bachaata hai." This, actually, is a revised version of Salman's own dialogue from Sultan which goes, "Mera yeh manana hai ki hero woh hai joh haarta hai... kyun ki wohi jaanta hai jeetne ki asli value."

EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Leela BHANSALI shifts GANGUBAI to Film City after SALMAN KHAN’s RADHE comes to Mehboob Studios

EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Leela BHANSALI shifts GANGUBAI to Film City after SALMAN KHAN’s RADHE comes to Mehboob Studios
'Nahi banuanga set tere set ke saamne…' Dev Anand may have sung 'Tere ghar ke saamne ek ghar banuanga…' to Nutan in the movie Tere Ghar Ke Saamne, but apparently, ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali refused to even construct a set next to Salman Khan’s new movie set at the same studio, in recent times. SLB was planning to shoot the first schedule of his next movie, Gangubai Kathiawadi, starring Alia Bhatt, from next week in Mehboob Studios while Salman Khan was planning to do the same with Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, directed by Prabh Dheva. Salman and Bhansali recently had a fallout when their movie Inshallah got shelved. EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Leela BHANSALI shifts GANGUBAI to Film City after SALMAN KHAN’s RADHE comes to Mehboob Studios While there were various reasons given for their fallout - from Salman’s interference in the script and casting to his announcement on Twitter saying Inshallah would release on Eid 2020 without the filmmaker’s knowledge and an upset Bhansali deciding to shelve the movie after that, nobody knows the real reason as neither has spoken about it. Both have moved ahead with their respective films – Salman with Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai and Bhansali with Gangubai Kathiawadi. Says a trade source, “Salman will be shooting for his home production, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, from November 4 at Mehboob Studios, in Bandra and the construction of the sets have started a few days ago. But what he didn’t know was that Sanjay Leela Bhansali was also planning to begin shooting at the same studios around the same time. But SLB came to know about it when the set of Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai was being constructed so he decided to shift to Film City, in Goregaon – even though they have shot a song for the same on a set constructed earlier. It’s a nice gesture of SLB to move his set to Film City as he’s a very sensitive and perceptive filmmaker and he must have realized that if he and Salman kept bumping into each other at Mehboob Studios, during each other’s shoots in the future, it could become awkward for them both, with the media getting maximum mileage out it.” The source adds that while Gangubai’s set construction is almost ready in Film City, there was another reason for the change in location. “SLB loves larger-than-life cinema so his shooting will cover two sets in Film City. It’s a sensible decision of the filmmaker to shift his set or it could have become a tense situation for both, even though the parting was amicable. Bhansali was planning to block Mehboob Studio in Bandra for the November shoot as he’s known to shoot in complete secrecy and doesn’t like people taking pictures on their cell phones and leaking out the look of the film and that’s when he came to know about the Radhe shoot. Salman has many people coming to meet him and buzz is that he will do his interviews from the Radhe shoot so plenty of media would also be there. For these reasons, Bhansali decided it was more practical to shift his shoot rather than continue here.” The two movies are completely different in genre – while Gangubai Kathiawadi revolves around a character, who was a brothel-owner in Kamathipura, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai is an action thriller and about an undercover cop who tracks all over India on a thrilling mission.
