Haider

happy-new-year movie

queenAs expected, Vikas Bahl’s Queen, Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider & Farah Khan’s Happy New Year are the big winners this award season but ever since Kangana Ranaut announced that she’ll not collect any awards, she’s been unceremoniously dropped and instead Priyanka Chopra has been winning the Best Actress award but Queen came out triumphantly by winning the Best Film & Best Director award for Vikas Bahl, while Haider swept the acting honors. Musically, the magic of Mithoon & Ankit Tiwari worked again by winning the Best Music award for Ek Villain, while Arijit Singh won the Best Singer Male for City Lights & Nooran Sisters for Imtiaz Ali’s Highway. Shahrukh Khan & Deepika Padukone won the Popular Choice awards in acting for Happy New Year while Tahir Raj Bhasin & Huma Qureshi won the award for best Performance in negative Role for Mardaani & Dedh Ishqiya.

PK crosses Rs. 625 crores worldwide!!!

PK-MovieAamir Khan beat his own record as PK became the highest grossing Bollywood film of all time and went on to smash Yash Chopra Film’s Dhoom 3 collection records and it’s not finished yet as the film continues to make money all over. PK has smashed records in USA, Canada, UK, UAE and even Pakistan, where it beat the record of War, the highest grossing Pakistani film of all time, and since the satellite rights of PK have not been sold yet, it’s safe to assume that it could easily cross Rs. 800 crores collections which would sure stay on top for some time until another Aamir Khan film comes out!!!


It’s crowded release week in Bollywood!!!

Shankar's ambitious I

Tevar-Shankar’s ambitious “I” with Vikram & Amy Jackson, Prakash Jha’s mad comedy Crazy Cukkad Family with Swanand Kirkire, Zayed Khan’s Sharafat Gayee Tel Lene & another Biapasha Basu’s horror film Alone, are all releasing this week and it’s to be seen how they’ll perform in this crowded week. Much was expected from Sanjay Kapoor’s Tevar with Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha & Manoj Bajpayee, however, the film couldn’t perform to the expectation inspite of heavy promotion much to the disappointment of Bollywood. So far the 2015 has started on a sour note and though Raj Kumar Hirani’s PK is performing amazingly, many are dismissing it as Aamir Khan’s films normally do better, however, many biggies are still lined up for release in January and Bollywood is still hoping for things to get better.

India draws a blank at Oscars…. again!!!
Oscar nominations are out and once again, India drew a blank as A.R.
