Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justic Trailer Takes Internet By Storm

The moment director of most anticipated Hollywood film Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, Zack Snyder tweeted a teaser version of film’s trailer, the fans all around the world were on their toes! Even though the director promised that the official trailer of the film will release on Monday, fans just couldn’t wait for it any more and the trailer video of Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice leaked on the Internet. People from all around the world were down with a massive frenzy after watching the trailer of the film. However, on Friday, the official trailer was released and watching the trailer, it just cannot get any better and BIGGER! The trailer of the film is not only dark but extremely intense. Packed with glimpses of film, the video starts with voice overs referring to Superman. “We as a population on this planet have been looking for a savior. We are talking about a being, who’s very existence challenges our sense of priority here in the universe,” voices speak. People are idolizing and bowing down to Superman, including the soldiers, when we hear the words, “Devils don’t come from hell beneath us, or do they come from sky?” and we see “False God” painted on Superman’s statue and then enters Batman! As Batman steps out of the darkness with face full of rage and fury, word “powerlessness” hits our ears. Soon enough, the dark knight, the mortal vigilante, Batman takes on the people’s god, Superman. The ending scene surely got the best of the audiences where we see the two superheroes playing the stare game but it were Batman’s words in the end of the trailer that made everyone’s jaws drop. Batman‘s question to Superman is surely one of the most impacting things in the trailer. In his mysterious husky voice, Batman says, “Tell me, do you bleed? You will.” Directed by Zack Snyder, Ben Affleck plays the role of Batman in the film, whereas Henry Cavill stars as Superman. The film will hit the theatres in March 25, 2016.

Tulsi Kumar, daughter of the late Gulshan Kumar and sister to T-Series head Bhushan Kumar, tied the knot with Hitesh, her fiance from Jaipur. Her marriage reception boasted the who's who of the music world. Apart from that, top Bollywood stars from Amitabh Bachchan and Sonakshi Sinha to Jacqueline Fernandez and Arjun Rampal were all in attendance. Here are some candid shots from the wedding reception. We wish the couple the very best as they begin a new life. PS -- Is it just us, or do you also think something is brewing between Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor. While rumours are rife about Alia and Siddharth being an item, Shradhha and Aditya Roy Kapoor called it quits recently citing differences. Since the two actors are spending so much time together with the ABCD sequel, we can but only wonder.

For her upcoming film Ek Paheli Leela, Sunny Leone has recreated Zeenat Aman’s iconic look from Satyam Shivam Sundaram where she’s shown to be wearing a white sari. Elaborating on the look, director Bobby Khan says, “The way SSS captured Zeenatji’s beauty was beautiful. When I bounced the idea off Sunny, she immediately approved.

However, Sunny Leone’s look is more demure as compared to Zeenatji’s bold topless avatar. Sunny would never go topless and neither would I let her. Our film has glamour but we’ve kept Indian sentiments in mind, which is why she wore a spaghetti top with her sari.”

Directed by Bobby Khan starring Sunny Leone, Jay Bhanushali, Rajneesh Duggal, Mohit Ahalawat and Jas Arora in prominent roles, Ek Paheli Leela produced by Bhushan Kumar and Ahmed Khan is releasing on April 10, 2015. (Business of Cinema)

Shah Rukh Khan’s Brand New Bomb- Proof Car

Shah Rukh Khan is one well-known name of the industry. He is currently busy with his upcoming movie Happy New Year, which is set to release next Friday, i.e. October 24. Only 2 months back, a firing took place at Shah Rukh Khan‘s associate Ali Morani‘s residence in Juhu on Saturday night. Four bullets were fired, of which one hit the trunk of the tree, glass pane of the building, and the bonnet of Morani‘s BMW. Morani received extortion calls from Ravi Pujari, a gangster who targets big names like Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan too, and informed the police guessing that it would be Ravi Pujari only who was behind the shootout. Ravi Pujari fired only after knowing that nobody was present at Morani‘s residence. But the reason for his firing was allegedly Morani‘s ignorance to his calls. Shah Rukh Khan was also getting Pujari’s extortion calls, which finally landed in his production house Red Chillies Entertainment’s landline (Pujari himself revealed to a journalist) since a very long time as to stop working with Morani brothers (Ali Morani and Karim Morani) since they have links with the underworld. Just like Ali Morani, Shah Rukh Khan has also doubled his protection, and in fact brought himself a bomb proof car just in case. But it is not just any bomb proof car. It is a Mercedes customized model, specially made for VVIPs that could cost anyone a fortune. Recently, Aamir Khan had also gifted himself a whooping 10 crore car after he received threats ever since he broadcasted some issues on his TV show Satyamev Jayate, that deals with social issues, sometime very grave and sensitive issues. As they say, Jaan Hai Toh Jahaan Hai. We cannot afford to lose such good actors, and they have made sure not to disappoint us.

Inside Pictures: Gauri Khan’s Birthday Bash With Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik And Others

Gauri Khan, superstar Shah Rukh Khan‘s wife and an entrepreneur, producer turned 44. Gauri Khan looked tired yet stunning in a brown tee, a white lace overcoat and denims. She paired up her attired with a simple necklace. Gauri Khan is the perfect frame of an independent woman- She is a great wife, an even greater mother, and she has balanced both her personal as well as professional life quite good. Good friends Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor hosted a bash at their residence for the birthday girl. Earlier in the day, SRK tweeted, “Happy Birthday to my wife Gauri. May you smile today, as much as you have made the family smile. Love and Happiness always..” This year Gauri Khan‘s birthday was filled with surprise, for Hrithik Roshan who divorced his wife Suzanne Khan (Suzanne also happens to be a close friend and a partner of Gauri Khan for interior designing), appeared for the party bash and infact was seen enjoying the party as he clicked photos with friends too. Others who came at the birthday party were- Happy New Year director Farah Khan, actor Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Karishma Kapoor, Amrita Arora, Sanjay Kapoor, Chunky Pandey, producer Zoya Akhtar, Parmeshwar Godrej, Amitabh Bachchan‘s daughter Shweta Nanda amongst others. Both Gauri Khan and Shah Rukh Khan are busy these days promoting their upcoming movie Happy New Year, which is produced by Gauri Khan‘s Red Chillies and sees Shah Rukh Khan as the main lead. Recently, Shah Rukh Khan and team came back from SLAM tour London where Shah Rukh Khan also received the Global Diversity Award. A year back Gauri Khan and Shah Rukh Khan had a son through surrogacy and named him AbRam. What is more interesting is that only a few days back, Shah Rukh Khan showed us the face of his little one, after a year of hiding. Friends turned foe Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan may maintain distance, but that has not affected Gauri- Salman‘s friendship, as they have been spotted greeting each other at various occasions. Infact, Gauri Khan even attended Salman‘s brother Sohail‘s wife’s birthday bash. We wonder if Salman would take the step and wish Gauri Khan this year, knowing how good old friends they are.

Is Shahid Kapoor expecting a National Award for HAIDER?

By Rachana Sheth, Glamsham Editorial

Looks like good times are here for Shahid Kapoor now. After the success of R...RAJKUMAR, his latest release Vishal Bhardwaj's HAIDER is swaying the B-town! As critics have heaped praises on HAIDER and Shahid Kapoor's outstanding performance, there is a strong buzz around that the actor might fetch his first National Award for the film.

When we asked Shahid, if he believes HAIDER to be National Award worthy film, he said, "Many people have asked me this. I don't know. I mean I have not set any expectation. I am going and telling everyone that please don't increase my hopes. I honestly don't think about it anymore. May be in the initial 4-5 years of my career, I used to think that way and apply various permutations and combinations. It's very unpredictable and that shouldn't be the case to do the film. I have to get better with every film I do."

But Shahid does agree that HAIDER is one of the best films of his career. "It is one of the best films of my career," said the actor.

Also starring Shraddha Kapoor, Tabu, Kay Kay Menon, Irrfan Khan, HAIDER released on October 2, 2014

'Haider' - a powerful revenge saga (IANS Movie Review - Rating: *** 1/2)

Film: "Haider"; Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Tabu, Kay Kay Menon, Shraddha Kapoor, Irrfan Khan; Director: Vishal Bhardwaj; Rating: *** 1/2) With revenge as the underlying motive, "Haider" is a quintessential Vishal Bhardwaj film adapted from one of Shakespeare's most powerful and influential tragedies - "Hamlet". It's a tale of a son's quest for his missing father. Set in Kashmir circa 1995 the film outlines the story of Haider (Shahid Kapoor) who returns to Kashmir from Aligarh, upon learning of his father, Hilaal Meer's disappearance. While pining for his father, he chances upon the romance brewing between his mother Ghazala (Tabu) and his father's brother Khurram (Kay Kay Menon). When Haider sets out in search of his father, his childhood sweetheart, Ashi (Shraddha Kapoor) helps him. Through her, he meets Roohdar (Irrfan Khan) a Pakistani militant, who makes him believe that his father has been manipulatively murdered. That marks the beginning of the revenge saga. The first half of the film is light-hearted and meanders aimlessly, but it is the lengthy second half that picks up the momentum and beautifully wraps up the film. Overloaded with tense moments, the film has numerous dramatic interludes that are edgy and gripping. Vishal Bhardwaj astutely creates tension in the scene where Haider is watching Khurram dancing and singing for his mother and intermittently calling her "bhabhijaan". On the performance front, the film belongs to Shahid, while Tabu and Kay Kay Menon provide ample support with their well-etched characters. Their powerful performances make "Haider" a delightful cinematic experience. Shahid steals the show with his controlled and zealous rendering of Haider. His monologue at the town square with a transistor hanging from his waist is particularly worthy of a mention. Initially, it seems comical, but effectively encapsulates, not only his grief, but also brings out the antagonism of the local Kashmiris. Similarly, Tabu's yearning for love and guilt-ridden behaviour are effectively expressed, proving her versatility. Kay Kay matches her intensity with his dramatic fervour. Shraddha as the charming Ashi and Irrfan with his enigmatic getup and an obvious limp, have nothing much to offer by way of performances. With Hindi, Urdu and the Kashmiri dialects, Bhardwaj creates a realistic backdrop for his characters. He also captures the strained and edgy political scenario of Kashmir with honesty. There is unintentional humour and poetry in the dialogues, which enhance the charm of the film. The screenplay is well designed and the songs, as is always the case in Bhardwaj's films, are a treat. "Bismil, Bismil" and "Na shaam ya saveraa" are well choreographed and meshed beautifully into the otherwise grim plot. Visually too, "Haider" is one of Bhardwaj's aesthetically framed films. Pankaj Kumar's cinematography highlights Kashmir in all its glory, displaying the beauty of the seasons. The atmospheric lighting adds to its visual appeal. The snow-filled frames are a delight to watch. But the jerky camera movements in some of the tense scenes are an aberration and mar the viewing experience. Overall, "Haider" is a well made film complimented with dramatic performances, strong script and fine music. Don't miss this one.
