Why is Deepika Padukone tight-lipped about her alleged affair with Ranveer Singh?
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s alleged romance has been the talk of the town since the two started working together on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ramleela. While both actors have refused to talk about what’s brewing between them, their secret meet-ups say a lot about their growing closeness
And they say there is nothing except co-star friendship between them! Last week, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone were caught cozying up at a Bandra restaurant where the two went to dine without too many people knowing. They made sure not to attract any attention by making separate exits. While the Gunday actor left through the front door, his ladylove chose to sneak out the back. The duo has been seen on numerous occasions meeting secretly, during the wee hours, whiling the night away over a cup of coffee. And that’s not all, we hear! Ranveer and Dippy have been taking secret trips across states just to spend time with each other.
Earlier, the Band Baaja Baaraat actor specially drove all the way from Mumbai to Wai with an injured leg to meet Ms Padukone. Last year they were caught partying in a Dubai restaurant and were photographed getting coochie-coo intimate. And they still claim to be single!
Though Ranveer has been quite vocal about his fondness for the Race 2 babe, Dippy has always dodged questions about her chemistry with her Ramleela co-star. In the past, Deepika was quite open about her relationship with Ranbir Kapoor and didn’t mind being seen with Siddharth Mallya either. But with Ranveer, the leggy lass has been very cautious, every step of the way.
Maybe it’s Ranveer’s Casanova image that is holding Deepika back from coming out in the open about their relationship. But Dippy, your idea of hide-and-seek isn’t helping much to keep things under cover, no? So why this cat and the mouse game, we ask!
Mithun Chakraborty and Mahaakshay Chakraborty feel without them there will be no sunlight
Mithun Chakraborty and Mahaakshay Chakraborty feel without them there will be no sunlight
Oh, really? Yeah…that’s what the father-son jodi resorting to some cheap antics in the song, Hit the lights from Enemmy say
Tansen had the power to light up fire through the raaga Deepak and bring down rains with Malhar. But it looks like our modern day Tansens – Mithun Chakraborty and his son Mahaakshay Chakraborty are one step ahead as they claim to control the solar system in the song, Hit the lights from director Ashu Trikha’s upcoming film, Enemmy. The lyrics are tacky and meaningless with words like Mere bin suraj na aave… hit the lights now! Now, what does that mean? We translate the so-called dance number for you. Take a look!
Main jo akhiyon se ankhiyan milaon
Main hosh uda doon
Mera jalwa main aisa dikhaon
Jaadoo sa chala doon
Thodha sa khud ko khoya
Khoya phir khud ko paaya
Oye dil mein dhadka karta hoon
Main banke sabki jaan
Main hosh uda doon
Mera jalwa main aisa dikhaon
Jaadoo sa chala doon
Thodha sa khud ko khoya
Khoya phir khud ko paaya
Oye dil mein dhadka karta hoon
Main banke sabki jaan
I if eyes with eyes mix
I conscious fly do
Mine showing something entertaining I like this show
Magic like walk do
Little own lost
Lost again own gain
Oye heart in beating
I formed all life
I conscious fly do
Mine showing something entertaining I like this show
Magic like walk do
Little own lost
Lost again own gain
Oye heart in beating
I formed all life
Mere bin suraj na aave
Hit the lights now
Bring it on now
Mere bin yeh raat na jaave
Bring it on now
Hit the lights now
Bring it on now
Mere bin yeh raat na jaave
Bring it on now
Mine without sun no come
Lagaa roshni abhi
Lao usko chalu abhi
Mine without this night no go
Lao usko chalu abhi
Lagaa roshni abhi
Lao usko chalu abhi
Mine without this night no go
Lao usko chalu abhi
After watching the movie (Enemmy), you might get to know of some other superpowers that Mithun and Mahaakshay are bestowed with!
Fukrey movie review: Pulkit Samrat and debutant Varun Sharma steal the show!
Fukrey movie review: Pulkit Samrat and debutant Varun Sharma steal the show!
The movie is about four good-for-nothing Delhi laundas who come up with a plan to make easy money and fulfill their dreams
Director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba’s Fukrey is a joyride set in Delhi which will remind you a bit of Delhi Belly. The youthful comedy revolves around best buds – Hunny (Pulkit Samrat) and Dileep Singh aka Choocha (Varun Sharma) – who desperately want to get through the city’s coolest college (just to woo the girls). The only way their dream will come true is through some jugaad since they are not the brightest of students.
Then there is Lali (Manjeet Singh), a pakka sardar, who is studying through a correspondence course. He prays at a gurudwara every day for an admission in the same college as his girlfriend. The fourth protagonist is Zafar (Ali Faisal) aspires to become a musician. All the four protagonists bump into each other near the college and warm up to become best buddies.
Choocha dreams about weird things which Hunny decodes and eventually they always end up predicting the winning lottery number. So to pursue their dreams, the boys decide to take advantage of Choocha and Hunny’s unique talent and plan to win the state lottery. This is where Bholi Punjaban (Richa Chadda) enters the picture. She is the new-age female gangster, who makes a lot of moolah by selling drugs, betting and what not. You mess with her and she will screw you royally. Hunny, Choocha, Lali and Zafar convince Bholi to invest in their foolproof plan. However, things go awry when the foursome get into trouble and are bullied by Bholi.
The first-half of the film is slow paced but the comic punches every now then keep you thoroughly entertained. Coming to the performances, Pulkit acts ably and his confidence is laudable. Newbie Varun is the surprise package and stands out with his perfect comic timing, amusing expressions and wacky characterisation. Manjeet does justice to his role and makes you laugh with his poker-faced expressions. Ali does a fine job with whatever little lines he has in the film.
While the male leads are bang on, the female actors don’t have much to do. Of the three, Richa Chadda has the meatiest role and gives an impressive performance as the boisterous Bholi Punjaban. Priya Anand and Vishaka Singh have only few scenes.
The movie is too long since all the naach-gaana is only towards the end. The signature Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani bromance style that we saw in Dil Chahta Hai, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Rock On!! is sadly missing in Fukrey. But good performances and a well-infused comedy in the script is what makes it worth watching.

The duo look all drained out while shooting in the fields of Punjab
Alia Bhatt and Imtiaz Ali are seen in the lush fields of Punjab shooting for their next film,Highway. The heroine and the director look super exhausted, sweating it out, trying to get a scene right. Of course, there’s a lot more happening apart from just toiling hard.
In another still, Alia seems to be making the most of her visit to Kashmir. She is seen wearing a multi-coloured sweater along with a colourful stole. And looks like the babe is in a state of trance, soaking in the sun and getting spellbound by the beautiful sunshiny weather.
The locales are beautifully captured in the visuals – be it the rising sun illuminating brightly behind the fields of Punjab or the snow capped mountains of Kashmir. Feel like watching the film just for the amazing sights….
Sonam Kapoor, director…really?
Sonam Kapoor, director…really?
Yes, we heard that the red-carpet fashionista has bigger plans than just acting. She will some day be a movie director. Why are we giggling?
When you have a leggy lass like Sonam Kapoor walking down the red carpet at some international event, you know she belongs there. When you watch her in a film likeAisha, or even I Hate Luv Storys, she fits right in. Her hair, makeup, accessories, attitude…it is all perfectly choreographed and she looks picture perfect each time. Of course, she played an interesting character in her first, Saawariya, where her wardrobe was more interesting than her acting; Delhi-6 was neither here nor there. Then she went on to do more urban movies like I Hate Luv Storys and Aisha, where her…err…talent was superbly showcased. With Raanjhanaa she could be breaking the mould, because what we have seen of Sonam in the promos is pretty impressive.
But what has impressed us more is her resolve and her moohphat quotes. She says what she thinks and expresses her likes enthusiastically, whether for Kareena Kapoor Khan’s style statements or for Deepika Padukone’s personality. And her apologies for any tactless remarks come as easily and genuinely, wethinks. But when she recently announced that “Apart from being an actress, I want to direct films. Maybe this will happen after 10 years”, we had to stop a moment to think. Sure, she is a voracious reader and, like so many in her generation, is well-informed about cinema, but a director? Really? Hmm….. Could it be because her thespian skills are limited and it would take a very special filmmaker to bring those to the fore and there aren’t too many of those folks around? Or is it because fashion and style is ephemeral and could already be starting to get tedious…nah, we don’t think so. Or do we see the real, non-PR Sonam here, the gal who has a career plan chalked out for herself?
Is Farhan Akhtar a better actor or filmmaker?
Is Farhan Akhtar a better actor or filmmaker?
The actor:
Farhan Akhtar essays the role of Milkha Singh in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Bhaag Milkha Bhaag. Releasing in July, this film will bring with it immense accolades for both Farhan and its makers. But the Eight of Swords and the Ten of Wands suggest that this film may take too many artistic liberties which may not impress a section of people. Despite this, the Queen of Pentacles reassures box office success and appreciation.
Shaadi Ke Side Effects, starring Farhan opposite Vidya Balan will have a strong opening, but theFive of Wands hints of tough competition at the box office. Hence, promotions closer to the time will be important. Tarot tip: The Queen of Cups explains the importance of targeting and pulling female audiences during publicity.
The producer:
As a producer Farhan will generally do well and in fact the World and Lovers card suggest of international collaborations that will help the production company to grow. But the company, Excel Entertainment does stifle itself through wayward planning, hence by being better organised and taking more calculated risks, the Ace of Pentacles promises new successes.
Fukrey will have a good opening but the Eight and Nine of Swords do show a drop in collections and therefore it may not be able to sustain its start. A lot of damage control can be done through an improvement in television promos.
The director:
It will be financially and creatively far more satisfying for Farhan to be directing soon. He thrives in his work when he’s in control, which is why the Strength card is reinforcing the importance of him getting back into direction. Although the years ahead will be quite temperamental and taxing on him, but its his own directorial venture that will keep things afloat.
The Wheel of Fortune and the Ace of Swords show how blessed Farhan is as a director – he knows how to hit the right formulas and get the desired reactions. In the coming times he will present interesting story lines in unexpected and creatively stimulating fashion.
Youth icon:
Being an icon comes quite naturally to him. He doesn’t make an effort, but only follows up on what he believes in. The High Priestess and the Empress card both explain his natural ability to be instinctive and to feel for causes, such as MARD (Men Against Rape & Discrimination). Such endeavours will keep the youth connected to him and he will continue to grow such organisations.
Overall, Farhan does have a lot on his plate, but he is a natural multitasker. Although the next 2 years (2014-2015) are tough years for him, but he will fight them out quite strongly and overcome personal and professional challenges quite well.
