...Because Vipul Shah gifted Salman a jacket worth Rs three lakh, the actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar drove into depression. Thus Vishal Bharadwaj and Prakash Jha got an opportunity to show mutual respect for each other. This gave director-producer Karan Johar a chance to rope in Kajol for his next venture. But that was mainly because Bollywood had lost its bombshell Mallika Sherawat to Hollywood... Hmmn interesting, isn't it? So let's check-out what these bolly-stars are actually doing to make Bollywood interesting. Let's begin with Mr. Vipul Shah.

The Oscar nominated director of 'Lagaan' returns after working with three of the biggest stars in the country Aamir Khan (Lagaan), Shahrukh Khan (Swades) and Hrithik Roshan (Jodhaa Akbar).
Based on the Gujarati novel 'Kimball Ravenswood' by Madhu Rye, the film's plot is about a smart Gujarati bachelor who is looking for his dream girl, but the catch is, he has to search and find her in ten days in order to save his family from an unforeseen problem. I think this is first time Zodiac signs have played a great role in a commercial movie.

"Baabarr" is arguably one of the most violent films ever made in Hindi. It's a brutal world out there. Welcome to the killing fields of Lucknow where the paths and alleys are bathed in blood and the roads are strewn with corpses. Believe it or not... that's how it is. Though the action is raw and enjoyable, the problem is that it has been presented in such a way that it glorifies crime.

There have been new and newer names joining the industry everyday, just to show their creativity and their capacity. But there are names in this industry that were long forgotten but now they are back. Not to prove anything but because of their love for the industry. One such name is Kseniya Ryabinkina.
The Russian actress who played a significant role in Raj Kapoor's 1970 film Mera Naam Joker is back with another Bollywood film named Chintuji. It's almost 40 years after which the actress will be seen in another Hindi film. With a delicate heath due to age, the actress has quietly shot for film on the outskirts of Himachal Pradesh.

Past perfect, present continuous but future imperfect! That's the way the film goes and unfortunately that's the way India is. Filmmaker N. Chandra's latest offering Y.M.I - Yeh Mera India, takes you back to his Ankush-Pratighaat form which made you stand up and notice the raw energy of his subjects. If you keep the quality of representation aside, the film has substance. With the movie Yeh Mera India, N Chandra has again proved his mastery over presenting social issues. The movie will not only make you think but will also prick your conscience.

Some people don't like disclosing facts about their films while others feel that disclosing minimal facts help in building audience's perception. Some don't disclose their complete cast even after the movie has released whereas some shout out loud the names even before the film is in pre-production.
Here we have Mr.Director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who can best explain this. Mr.Bhansali has become so secretive about his forthcoming film 'Guzzarish' that he doesn't even want to reveal Hrithik's look in the film. Now this is setting a good example... let's proceed.

The idea was perfect... pick up an oscar winning plot, Indianize the overall concept and show a fifteen year old pregnant girl on posters. Keep the fifteen year old aside, even a ten year old would say... "Something is missing uncle!!" and the thing missing is that the film is not a complete copy of the oscar winning film 'Juno'. Wish it was!
