Imran: Thanda Thanda Chemistry!

Is it me or does Imran Khan not have the capability to romance onscreen? He always appears incredibly cold and fearful of his leading ladies. The only one he managed to look somewhat in love with was Genelia D'Souza in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. Beyond that, he has looked hardly in love with his heroines or the script of the film even. He made a fool of himself when Minnisha Lamba was seducing him in Kidnap; looked far too friendish with Shruti Hassan in Luck and don't even get me started on the brother-sister vibe he shared with Sonam Kapoor in I Hate Luv Storys. Eek and cringe! So now, if that wasn't enough discomfort, he is ready to attempt and light up the screen with Katrina Kaif in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. And then to take it further, he has to romance the rather lanky and tall Deepika Padukone in Break Ke Baad. Erm...if Neil Nitin Mukesh couldn't work it with Deepika, I honestly doubt Imran will be able to. Take a look at the first looks of both films and tell me you don't feel another bhai-bahen wala pyar coming on. Yuck!

Lafangey Parindey: 108 Word Review

Local roadside Nandu finds himself in a hoj-poj when he is asked to take on a risqué job and instead lands up accidently knocking over the local beauty. Crammed with guilt, he takes on the job of helping the newly blinded girl learn to see using her senses while he fights blindfolded by night. Eventually the truth catches up and in hopes to help the blind roller skater to win a competition, Nandu falls in love with the skater. Neil is both good and bad. Deepika is a revelation but doesn’t look her best. The climax is a disappointment. Underrated music. A onetime watch for the undervalued script.

Happy Independence Day, From Bollywood!

15th August is here yet again and our favorite stars are all out giving us their bashaan, I mean their takes, on what being Indian means to them.

Priyanka Chopra: Independence for me is the fact that I get to live in a great democracy, where I can think what I want, do what I want and this year, I just want to be thankful for that.

Vipul Shah: Independence to me means freedom to live, freedom to express myself and freedom to fight anything that is disturbing the society.

Farah Khan: For me, independence means that I am allowed to live the life I want to, say what I want to and not have the fear that someone can stop me from saying anything that's in my heart.

Manoj Bajpayee: I think independence is that I am free to think, free to act, free to go anywhere I wish to visit and free to do as I please. It's the joy of seeing an India for the Indians.

Shefali Shah: The freedom to be myself is what independence means to me. I give freedom to people in my life so that they can follow the path they wish to and I expect the same from them.

Salim Merchant: To be what I am and what I want to be, to be able to make the music that I enjoy, to be able to give a splash of youth to our national anthem, all that is independence to me.

Kailash Kher: One realises the worth of independence when one goes  to other countries. You are free there, but not totally independent. You are not independent to voice your opinion, to say what you want to, unlike in your own country where you have the liberty to express yourself through different mediums. From the time India was ruled by Mughals and then the British till today, there has been a massive change. And this change is independence.

Neil Nitin Mukesh: When it comes to independence, all I can think of is "Ae mere watan ke logon, zara aankh me bhar lo pani”.

Deepika Padukone: We have definitely moved ahead in the last 63 years in every possible field. And even in our own individual freedom. We have achieved a lot for ourselves in terms of independence. I am very proud of our country.

Isha Koppikar: Independence is something which is coveted, but we don't understand the true meaning of it. After Jawaharlal Nehru and Gandhi, we have just heard promises and not seen anything. I would want to do something for the country, especially for women in self-defence.

Mugdha Godse: Independence is loving your country.

Have a Happy Independence Day Fellow Indians!
