A surefire
winner
By Madhur
Mittal
ONE new film cinegoers can look
forward to is Kachche Dhaage. Starring Ajay
Devgun, Manisha Koirala, Saif Ali Khan and Namrata
Shirodkar. The music compositions of this movie are by
the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Lata Mangeshkar has sung
under his baton for the first and the last time! If music
indeed makes the world go round then Kachche
Dhaage seems a winner.
Silver screen beckons
God alone knows how many
film offers Ruby Bhatia has received, to date, without
yet nodding her head. Relatively less, the same applies
to sensuous Laila, as well. However, Kamal Sidhu went in
for Aar ya paar, Malaika Arora did the train jig
in Dil Se ... and now, the petite and pretty Divya
(Palat) has just bagged her movie break opposite none
than Salman Khan! The film is called Chal Mere Bhai, produced
by Nitin Mohan and directed by "king" of comedy
David Dhawan. More on this lucky, lovely lass
soon.
Kajols
on-off switch
Either this celebrated
star doesnt agree to doing an interview, in the
first place. Or , if, during one of her magnanimous
moods, if she does consent, she talks
nineteen-to-the-dozen and giggles like only she can!
Nobody is exactly zapped
by her admission that "I shall definitely marry in
February...." Which year, dear? 1999 or 2010 A.D.?
This is not the first time that Kajol has said it;
reports and rumours of her "imminent wedding"
(sic) have been surfacing every six months or so over the
past couple of years.
Besides, shes got at
least half-a-dozen big banner movies slated for release
this year and cannot imagine her zipping off to the Alps
in the midst of so much of adulation to honeymoon. Why
doesnt Kajol simply throw away her remote with the
on-off-switch?
All for
AIDS
Many stars cancelled their
shoots and some even flew in from overseas to dazzle the
sprawling stage of the Andheri Sports Complex. Such
enthusiasm, such solidarity in Bollywood? Incredible!
Lets not forget, it was all for a cause: To raise
funds for campaigning against AIDS. And, more
importantly, lets never forget that this call for
the show was given by the one and only Smita
Thackeray daughter-in-law of Shiv Sena supremo,
Balasaheb Thackeray!
No wonder Amitabh and Jaya
Bachchan, Lata Mangeshkar, Shah Rukh Khan, Karisma
Kapoor, Urmila Matondkar, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff,
Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen, Akshay Kumar et. all,
willingly danced to her tune. So much so for Mukti
Foundation Chairpersons clout.
