I think I'm going to see Don on Thursday. I was sick last week so I couldn't go. I've heard mixed reviews so far.

Hema Malini (who played Basanti in the original) is being openly critical about all of the remakes of classic Bollywood films.

""If a film is badly made, then it has all the rights to get remade. But masterpieces don't leave any space for improvement. You just cannot capture or bring back the essence, the ambience and the same era of those original films in remakes"

Well said!

...fresh off the rumor mill! Allegedly Hrithik is the highest paid star in Bollywood. It's sparked a debate that his price will create a crisis in star's fees that will get out of control. Why they gotta hate?

The gossip mill is saying that Aishwarya is eafer to star with Will Smith in an undisclosed Hollywood film. She declined to comment further on the proposed project. Interesting!

Hrithik Roshan apparently fell from a horse today while training for his upcoming film Akbar Jodha. Poor guy!

If you are needing your fix you can catch Don at AMC Lowes on E 72st & Jaan-e-Man @ Regal E-Walk on W42nd. I still haven't decided which I'm going to drop my 10bux on. Probably Don. We shall see....

Wow! I think the itunes store has received enough feedback from its users and has started featuring more current Bollywood soundtrack. I picked up the new Umrao Jaan &  the Jaan-E-Maan soundtrack. Other fairly new & newish releases I found were Lage Raho Munnabhai, the new Don & Gangster.

I really don't like Salman Khan, but I'll probably see it anyway because everyone's making such a stink. Also, soundtrack is pretty good.

What? Ok, so maybe it's just a movie based on Umrao Jaan? Not really sure, but it's starring Soha Ali Khan. I think we've reached market saturation, folks!

They're my fav screen couple next to Kajol & SRK. They're rumored to be starring in Aditya's Chopra's yet-to-be-named flick that will start filiming once Tara Rum Pum finishes.. Also, Jaya Bachchan will be starring in the mystery movie. This is the first time Abhishek & his mother will both have  starring roles in a movie together!

Hema Malini turns 58 today

Amitabh Bachchan who played Jai in the original will now be playing Gabbar Singh.

Radha, who was originally played by Jaya Bachchan (Bhaduri) is up for grabs. Katrina was dropped in favor for Sushmita Sen.

Urmila Matondkar will be stepping in to fill Helen's shoes as the gypsy for the Mehbooba item number. Yeah, good luck with that one, honey!

The grapevine is buzzing that he'll be starring in Aap Ka Suroor which is also the title of his hit album. Interesting...

Amitabh Bachchan turns 64 today.

Rekha turns 52 today!

Looks like the Sixth Annual IAAC festival is showing the new Umrao Jaan on Nov 2.  So who wants to go? ^o^

it's anticipated to be the biggest release in North America. Everybody loves some Shah Rukh Khan.

Check out this Tollywood take on Michael Jackson's Thriller. Shamon!
