Rajesh Khanna

July 18,2014
Two years since superstar died, his fans haven't yet forgotten the magic spell and charisma he once had.  Veteran actor Ramesh Deo had acted with him in "Anand' says Rajesh was basically a very good man at heart. Once he saw a junior artiste on a set and inquired whether he and his family were fine. Once throwing at a party at Sun N Sand Hotel , he invited who's who of industry to celebrate his success. According to Ramesh Deo, Rajesh mentioned that most of theatres in Bombay at that time were showing his movies and it was an occasion to celebrate.But Ramesh recalls that moment when he thought, that Rajesh fall seemed imminent. His  acting style, mannerisms didn't change with time. His coterie  of sycophants were always surrounding him barely giving him moment of think and differentiate between what was right and wrong with his career.


 Born: 29th December 1942
Died: 18th July 2012

Rajesh Khanna once icon of Hindi Cinema died on July 18th 2012 at the age of 69.Lost and forgotten he was as much non existent as opposed to once upon a time when stardom and fame was all his and he was all time favourite of every filmgoer of that time. He was named Super star and no one could come close to glory he ever enjoyed.
It's been over a year since Rajesh Khanna, the first superstar of Bollywood, passed away. And it looks like his family will soon be done with the legal cases filed by Anita Advani, who claimed to be the late actor's live-in partner. 

Earlier this year, she had filed cases against Dimple Kapadia, her daughters Twinkle and Rinkie, and son-in-law Akshay Kumar, for allegedly throwing her out of Khanna's bungalow on Carter Road, Bandra.

Reportedly, Advani is asking for a compensation of 50 crore through her petition.

A source close to the family reveals that Advani offered to settle the dispute out of court.

Our source says, "Anita has conveyed to sort the case with a settlement. But Dimpleji has refused, preferring to get the judgment in the family's favour on their merit. Dimpleji feels Anita tried to take undue advantage of the situation and also tried to garner publicity and sympathy by suing the family members after the demise of Kakaji."

Manish Koirala elegant,talented actress who made her bollywood debut with "Saudagar" (By Subhash Ghai) was diognosed with cancer and has undergone successful treatment, is said to be back to normal life and is looking forward to resume work.

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag

Pavan Malhotra

Divya Dutta and Farhan Akhtar

Farhan Akhtar as Milkha Singh

So far the greatest surprise of 2013 was Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" based on life of former Indian track and field sprinter Milkha Singh who also is known as a "Flying sikh"
Having done over 104Crore(17Million US$) business world wide, it entered the elite membership of 100 Crore business Club of Bollywood Fillms in recent times.
But besides the money spinning , Film will be remembered for time to come for its honest story telling, stellar performances and overall high quality and technical achievements.
Such films will set the foundation for a new era of Indian films to be  made in future,which will  compete on international level and will be appreciated by much larger audiences beyond global boundries.

Farhan Akhtar's, Divya Dutta's and every character in the film is so beutifully crafted and have been performed by artists that for a moment one  it allows you to forget that  you are watching a movie.
Pavan Malhotra as a trainer is amazingly good(see inset pic)

A lot of hardwork, dedication and efforts are put in to create such masterpiece. Only a critic eye can dissect and see all the aspects of a film
Music is the only weak shade of BMB- may be due to fact there was nothing much of a scope to render melodies in between when makers were busy narrating a very emotional story and one can give a benefit of doubt to that part.
Overall an immensely Enjoyable Film


Rating: Very Good -**** 4/5

 
Shah Rukh Khan Deepika Starrer "Chennai Express" surpassed all previous box office records in Indian film Industry as it crossed 300 crore(About 48 Million US$) business at this time. 
Rohit Shetty the Director of the film has proven himself again. His earlier films Singham, Bol Bachchan, Golmaal 3 have already been very successful in box office.
Deepika Padukone is lucky again after her last very popular film "Yeh Jawanee hai Diwanee" with Ranbeer Kapoor. 
She is in a phase where every hit film will consolidate her position as an actress in bollywood where as of now not many young female artistes are vying for top position after Kareena's little slow post marriage pace and not any other  notable actress worth mentioning other than Priyanka Chopra who has been in indusrty for over 10 years and a much younger actor should be ready to overtake, Deepika certainly has her age and looks advantage to go ahead of any other contemporary actresses for at least few years to come.
Shah Rukh on the other hand has  definitely all reasons to be more than happy with this film proving a lucky mascot after his few earlier films didn't fare well (Ra. One,Billoo Barber) His "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" had Yash Chopra  tag to create late director's magical spell ti bring crowd to theatres but as a film it had nothing much to talk about. 
Some rightly put an arguement "Who Cares for quality of films these days?" How much business it does is all that matters to be successful. 
If doing business of over 100 crore  is yardstick for films to be remembered, we will see how in years to come, a film will be remembered,watched or loved for its content as much as some of films of golden era(1960-70) are remembered and appreciated even today.

The movie per se is a typical bollywood formula film with South Indian  precepts and tamil diologues  to appeal South Indian filmgoers in particular. But its novel comic stroy line seems to have got acceptance by others across the country and abroad to make it so successful. 
Yet one wonders,  the strange outcome of a film's success or failure whether  has anything to do with 
content or quality of film in its entirety.
Deepika has done full justice to her role with freshness and poignancy. 
Shah Rukh has only his star value to add.
It was nice to see veteral Kamini Kaushal after a long time.

Rated: ** 2/5- (Average)

Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hai Lyrics( Film:Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi-2008)
Tu hi toh jannat meri, Tu hi mera junoon
Tu hi to mannat meri, Tu hi rooh ka sukoon
Tu hi aakhion ki thandak, tu hi dil ki hai dastak
Aur kuch na janu mein, bas itna hi jaanu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Sajdhe sar jukhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Ohhhh hoooo ohh….
Kaisi hai yeh doori, kaisi majboori
Meine nazron se tujhe choo liya
Oh ho ho Kabhi teri khusboo
Kabhi teri baatein
Bin mange yeh jahan pa liya
Tu hi dil ki hai raunak,
Tu hi janmo ki daulat
Aur kuch na janoo
Bas itna hi janoo
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Sajdhe sar jukhta hai
Yaara mein kya karuo
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karuo
Vasdi vasdi vasdi, dil di dil vich vasdi
Nasdi nasdi nasdi, dil ro ve te nasdi
Rab Ne… Bana Di Jodi…..haiiiiii
Vasdi vasdi vasdi, dil di dil vich vasdi
Nasdi nasdi nasdi, dil ro ve te nasdi
Cham cham aaye, mujhe tarsaye
Tera saaya ched ke chumta
Oh ho ho… tu jo muskaye
Tu jo sharmaye
Jaise mera hai khuda jhumta
Tu hi meri hai barkat, tu hi meri ibadat
Aur kuch na janu, bas itna hi janu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Sajdhe sar jukhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Vasdi vasdi vasdi, dil di dil vich vasdi
Nasdi nasdi nasdi, dil ro ve te nasdi
