Laugh out loud
The word
jatt
is back in the title. And this time, the cast and crew of
Jatts
in
Golmaal
once again promise to tickle our funny bone no end…
Till
we replicate the magic of the laugh riot Carry on Jatta, we won’t quit
trying; for every new venture in Punjabi cinema carries some affiliation with
the cult film. So this one promises a joyride as it has the story, screenplay
and dialogues by Naresh Kathuria (of Carry On Jatta fame). Jatts in
Golmaal brings you Binnu Dhillon, Aarya Babbar, Gurpreet Ghuggi, Jaswinder
Bhalla and Sameskha, among others. "The movie has songs by Mika, Sunidhi
Chauhan and there’s also an item number Shabo De Chobare. It has a lot
of dance numbers, party tracks and wedding songs," says Aarya Babbar, in
Chandigarh for the music launch of the film. No matter how compartmentalised the
subject may be; when we talk of the music, can the cast and the script be far
behind?
Screen scorcher!
Item numbers are hugely popular and a successful one can make or break a movie. British actress Hazel Keech does one for an upcoming Punjabi movie
Heer & Hero…
Music, like we have often heard and known, knows no barriers; off late we discovered one more form that cannot be chained to culture, language or geographical boundary — the item number!
A pretty looking girl with appealing vital stats from any part of the world can come to Bollywood and walk away with a sexy item number! And mind you, women who have tried this far have been pretty successful. Hazel Keech, the British actress and model, slipped into the hearts of people with her item song Aa Ante Amlapuram in the film Maximum. This model was, however, smart enough to not restrict herself to the tag; she took to acting as well; Hazel played Kareena Kapoor’s friend in the film Bodyguard. Looking beautiful, the gossamer skin beauty hits Chandigarh to talk about her item song for her first Punjabi film Heer & Hero.
Not just skin-deep

Problematic pairs
Many Bollywood movies work because of their actors and star pairs; the casting coups they manage. For instance, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone in
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
, Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra in
Teri Meri Kahaani
because they are former lovers. So we tell you some interesting and even controversial pairs we will
see this year and in 2014…
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ranveer Singh: We might see them playing siblings in Zoya Akhtar's next film which also stars Hrithik Roshan and Katrina
Kaif. Ranbir was supposed to do it but he is too busy so Ranveer and Kareena will play siblings like Zoya and Farhan
Akhtar. Ranveer and Kareena were supposed to do
Raam Leela together but that did not work as Kareena got married and SLB wanted a single heroine.

CELEB POINT
Salute to cinema
Hey, which film are we planning to watch this week? I want to be like Amitabh Bachchan! Did you see Katrina's outfit? I want to have a similar one! That song from that film lifts my mood!
Don't we hear these conversations everyday? Aren't they an integral part of our lives? From school-going kids to the corporate heads to the housewives and the retired alike, cinema is the connecting factor.
And this week, we mark the completion of 100 years of cinema. Of entertainment, of fantasies, of story telling, of stars, of dreams!
Coming soon
Simple take
Simplicity is perhaps the most overrated expression of humility. However, when it comes to defining the complex disposition of an artist, whose idea of beauty bestows in itself the essence of realism, one cannot help but to give due credit to his simplistic idea of creativity. Gulwant Singh, who comes across as a man of plain tastes, makes no pretence in filling the colours of his original character when he paints on canvas. "I am not the kinds who like to mix and match a lot of colours. I like it simple and perhaps that shows in most of my paintings," he begins.

Clash of the exes

Ammi…

The play was staged by the Harpal Tiwana Foundation, along with another play titled Chauksi Maharaj recently.

Keep kids safe online!
Dear parents, It's with a lot of love for your kids and utmost respect for your opinion that I ask you to allow your children to explore a new world that's always attracting them online. Parents often ask me if they should let their kids go online and surf by themselves. By all means, yes! Sure, there are some risks that we need to avert. But the wealth of knowledge and exposure internet gives your child can never be recreated in a similar way.
Master Chef
Brownie point
Sometimes you need 'something sinful and gooey' as a treat and you need it just now! Please tell me you also have such cravings, or I shall think I'm the isolated, weird museum-specimen! The cup-culture for zapping a quick delight in the microwave has become exceedingly popular in the West. Students, working youngsters or anybody in a hurry turns to 'cooking a quickie' with small amounts of ingredients and minimal time. It's the next best thing after the two-minute-noodles! An ooey-gooey brownie, steaming hot and puffy could lift your spirits without too many calories. Remember not to overfill the cup with the batter. Microwaves cause a huge swell in even small portions. If you are doing more cup helpings for sudden visitors, adjust the time accordingly. Do check a little before the time is up! Even an extra 10 seconds in excess can result in a stony-brownie!
Shahid injured?
The fire accident on the sets of Prabhu Deva's
Rambo
Rajkumar
last week in Mumbai was not as minor as it was made out to
be. Apparently Shahid has got burn injuries on his back and hand and he will
need some time to recover fully. "We were shooting a fire sequence when
the chemical used to create the fire went awry. It singed Shahid's shoulder and
hand. It could have been much worse. Thankfully nothing serious happened,"
says a source.
Roy on a roll
Aditya Roy Kapur has recently tasted success with
Aashique
2
and is looking forward to
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
. The
27-year-old is enthusiastic about everything and talks about doing good
films, family, success and more.
Support system: Success can come and
go but I need to build a resume of good films and good performances
because I can always bank on that. I come from a family very connected
to films so I get a point of view from a director, actor, producer, and
an actress. That would be my brother Kunal, then Siddharth and my
sister-in-law Vidya.
Time to celebrate
DLF City Centre Mall, a popular shopping and entertainment destination, has turned five. As part of the celebration a beautiful three-tier-cake was cut by Caroline Dangwal, mall manager, in the presence of hundreds of shoppers.
Following this, a live Rock band performance filled the air with excitement and visitors to the mall were seen tapping their feet to the music. The band Kalkii played Hindi rock and entertained the audience with a blend of Sufi and Bollywood beats.
Spicy treat
McDonald's was perhaps the first global QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) brand in the country to introduce products that had local names and
flavours. McAloo Tikki was the first such product to be introduced in India.
And now, the brand has introduced a new grilled product called masala grill. The new product has both vegetarian and non-vegetarian variants that give a hint of kebabs from the northwest frontier.
Watch out for Ishkq In Paris
After a lot of delays, Preity Zinta's maiden production Ishkq in Paris, made under the banner of PNZ Media, is all set to release on May 24. This was announced by director Prem Raj on whose health ground the release of the film has been delayed.
The director said, "We are happy to announce that Ishkq in Paris is set to release on May 24."
 Reel bonding
Kunal Roy Kapoor and Vir Das were together in Delhi Belly and they are doing another film together backed by Viacom. We are sure it is a comedy. Kunal was recently seen in Nautanki Saala and Vir Das will be seen in Go Goa Gone next
week.
