Salman khan's Tubelight is a copy of Hollywood movie - Little Boy




Salman Khan released the teaser of his upcoming movie, ‘Tubelight’ and people couldn’t control their emotions. Salman’s performance in the teaser has got a lot of compliments.

The Khan is ready to lighten up this Eid with a war film. Celebrities and fans from all over the world praised the teaser on Twitter. A few scenes even made people cry and it’s increasing our expectation from the movie a lot!



While we clearly understood that Salman plays a special character in the film, it is confirmed that it is based on the story of an American film, Little Boy.

The character that Salman is actually playing in ‘Tubelight’ was performed by a child in ‘Little Boy’.



The 8 year-old boy in the movie ‘Little Boy’  is very close to his father. Who is left devastated when his dad goes away to fight in the World War 2. Here, in ‘Tubelight’ maker’s have replaced the character of the father with brother. The brother’s character is being played by Sohail Khan. In the teaser, we can see that Salman is sad when Sohail leaves for the war.



Salman has a child actor playing the character of his friend in ‘Tubelight’ whereas, in ‘Little Boy’ the kid’s friend is a Japanese man.



Shah Rukh Khan is playing a cameo in ‘Tubelight’. His character in the film is a magician. Ben Chaplin played the magician’s role in the movie ‘Little Boy’.



‘Tubelight’ is the third collaboration of Salman Khan and Kabir Khan after ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ and ‘Ek Tha Tiger’. Let’s see how this Hollywood’s inspired movie turns out!

Bahubali 2 : The Conclusion - Review




Why Kattapa.. Why?? A question probably 1.4+ billion people have been quizzed about for the past 2 years.. Well, I assure you, the wait for that answer was worth more than the stunts, songs or a budget of 2.5 billion INR.. It probably was a combination of one of the most emotionally and frustratingly epic scene I've ever witnessed in Indian cinema.. Just the grandeur of that one scene gave for some goosebumps; for some a prolonged tear jerker; and for some absolute silence with awe.

The Conclusion is helmed on 5 shoulders.. #Prabhas, #Sathyaraj, #RanaDaggubati, #AnushkaShetty and #RamyaKrishan, who have all done their parts well. But the strength of the movie is Prabhas who literally lived the character. The support cast have all done their parts brilliantly.


S.S. Rajamouli is a Genius of a Screen Writer and Director for breathing life into K.V. Vijayendra Prasad's sensational story!

We were drawn in with BAAHUBALI: THE BEGINNING and today, we are blown away with BAAHUBALI: THE CONCLUSION!

A Beautiful, Fiery, Explosive, Phenomenal, Epic Conclusion!!!




Performance wise this is a Prabhas film all the way who gave his blood sweat and complete dedication in portraying the Dual Role of Father and Son.Rana was also brilliant as Bhalladeva with veteran actors Satyaraj and Nasser were very convincing.Ramaya had an author backed role which she did splendidly.Anushka looked beautiful and totally owned the character of Devasena.However Tammanna was totally missing only appearing in the climax.

This movie had a good mix of soulful songs, witty one liners, amazing sound effects, bgm, beautiful locations (both original and visually created), grand sets, hard hitting stunts and touching moments placed aptly.

I had read earlier that the VFX is in par with #TheLordOfTheRings and #HarryPotter.. I would say it is top notch for Indian cinema.


There is so much more to the story of Baahubali than the WKKB question. The story takes us through the Love blooming between Amarendra Baahubali and Devasena, then delves into the Politics in the Mahishmathi Kingdom and some shocking revelations ensure the pace is kept high and then comes the sequence of Kattappa killing Baahubali. From then, the story becomes predictable and turns into a clichéd revenge drama. But the greatness of SS Rajamouli as a top- notch technician of the movie lies in how well he keeps the audience engaged and absorbed into the story. The entire narrative of Baahubali has been fleshed out and the emotions are handled very well indeed. The sequence of Kattappa and Baahubali has been used for maximum dramatic effect.

Wherever there are no strong emotions to keep us focused, Rajamouli resorts to Visuals.A separate mention has to go to the Visuals of the movie. The movie is visually stunning. So stunning indeed that it is one of, if not the most beautiful Indian film so far. Every frame of it oozes grandeur. Some of the sequences, especially the Visuals of the Romance song between Devasena and Baahubali match the standards of Hollywood. No doubt about it.

However, that is where the comparison with Hollywood must end, in all fairness. The movie is Indian at its core and the story, which heavily draws inspiration from the famous characters of Maha Bharatha is not new to the audience. It is an age old tale of Sibling Rivalry set in a different world and its saving grace are the great characters that populate the world of Baahubali. The actors have done a great job with stellar performances from Anushka, Satyaraj, RamyaKrishna, Nasser and Rana. They all acted very well. But ultimately it is Prabhas that steals the show. His performance is apt, controlled and is almost always on point. He never over-does his role.




All the technicians that have worked for the film have done a fabulous job as well. The music by MM Keeravani is wonderful and his BGM takes the experience to new heights. Senthil Kumar's cinematography is another big plus for the movie.

The pacing of the movie is amazing but it falters towards the end, as what happens becomes predictable and in the final battle, the viewers are treated at the same time to wonderful visuals and clichés. However, the events leading to the climax more than make up for it. Ultimately the ending is a safe one and the final sequence neatly ties it to the beginning of the first movie. Very sublime.

Finally, Baahubali is today's blockbuster, tomorrow's classic and is definitely one of the most important films for Indian movie industry. Watch it for the Visuals and Rajamouli's superb narration. It is an Indian film with an Indian story and is suffused with Indian sensibilities. That makes it a breathe of fresh air.

Everything You Need To Know About Kapil Sharma And Sunil Grover's Very Public Spat


It's been flooding your newsfeed, and in case you're clueless about what's going on, you've come to the right place.

Over the last week, you must have seen news of comedians Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover getting into a brawl on a flight, flooding your feed.


For those who have no idea what's going on, here's a comprehensive history of the events:

In 2013, Sharma became the face of sketch comedy/celebrity talk show Comedy Nights with Kapil on Colors. Grover was brought on the show to amplify the comedic quotient.



As his character Gutthi gained popularity, Grover decided to quit the show in order to start a new one of his own, called Mad in India on Star Plus.

One of the major reasons cited for Grover's departure was that he was denied a fee hike by Colors.

One of the major reasons cited for Grover's departure was that he was denied a fee hike by Colors.

Following his exit from CNWK, Sunil told TOI, "There is no animosity between Kapil and me. Kapil is a very close friend and it's always a pleasure working with him."



On the other hand, Sharma told IANS in an interview, "I am not the kind to feel threatened or competitive about anyone... All I can say is, he (Sunil) should have never left our show. He seems lost on the show."

Following Mad in India's awful TRP ratings, Grover decided to return to Kapil Sharma's crew.


Meanwhile, following an altercation over money with Colors, Sharma decided to take CNWK to another TV channel. Other comedians on CNWK followed suit and a new show named The Kapil Sharma Show was launched on Sony TV.



Now that you're all caught up with this history lesson, let's look at a few things that happened between Grover and Sharma over the past couple of weeks that caused a giant shitstorm:

* Early in March 2017, Sharma, along with his The Kapil Sharma Show crew, visited Australia to perform comedy shows.
* On March 18, on the flight back Sharma manhandled, assaulted and abused Grover.
* Sharma's dickery made headlines.

A crew member from Sharma's show anonymously told Hindustan Times that Sharma hurled his shoe at Grover, pulled him by his collar and slapped him.


According to the eye-witness account, Sharma got drunk and pissed at his team for eating dinner without him. He proceeded to yell at them, threatening to 'end their careers'. To Grover, Kapil said, “Gaya tha na tu toh. Aaya na waapas mere hi paas (You left. But look how you came back crawling to me)”, referring to Grover's departure from CNWK. Grover maintained his cool during the episode and the airline authorities had to calm Sharma down.

Grover maintained his cool during the episode and the airline authorities had to calm Sharma down.

Before news of him being a class A asshole to his colleague could make way to news publications, Sharma tried wiping some shit off the fan with this Facebook status.


He also tweeted to Grover apologising for his actions.

And Grover tweeted to Sharma warning him to not "act like God":



And Sharma tried to convince everyone that all was good between him and Grover:

But everything is far from good. Grover has allegedly quit Sharma's show and says that he won't return even if his "fee was doubled".

Following the fall-out, other performers from The Kapil Sharma Show, including Ali Asgar and Chandan Prabhakar have also decided to stop shooting for the show, in solidarity with Grover.


The channel has already brought on comedians Raju Srivastav and Ahsaan Qureshi to replace them on the show.
Another anonymous member from Kapil Sharma's team told DNA:
"Kapil is now being painted as the full-blown villain of the piece. The villain is actually his addiction to the bottle. He’s otherwise a decent and kind man, a wonderful son and a true animal-lover. Also, we from The Kapil Sharma Show team like Kapil when he is sober.”

Sony TV has failed to reconcile Sharma and Grover and, for now, the shoot has been stalled.

Bottomline: Kapil Sharma is in deep shit.

TV Beauties that rocked the bikini

It might be monsoons right now but a bevy of beauties from TV have raised temperatures. Check them out!


Not long ago, TV actresses preferred to dress by their onscreen image. However, that is slowly changing and here is proof. In the past six months, we have seen a number of our TV divas in bikinis. The gals have flaunted their hot bodies/vacation pictures with elan. Check out these beauteous babes and tell us whom you found the sexiest!


Sonarika Bhadoria
The lady has moved on from TV to films down South but people still identify her as Parvati. When she posted a snap in a red bikini top and floral sarong chilling on the pristine beaches on the Maldives, she faced a lot of hate mail. People were aghast at how a ‘divine figure’ could pose in a swimsuit. The lady replied them tersely and rightly so.


Mouni Roy
She has millions of followers on Instagram courtesy her gorgeous pictures with her style game bang on. A few days after Sonarika’s controversy, Mouni posted snaps of her Goa holiday. The lady looks cute in the swimsuit that she has matched with a friend. Talk about co-ordination!


Nia Sharma
Voted as one of the sexiest Asian Women on the planet by her followers, Nia Sharma is a total stunner. The lady is not afraid to flaunt her hot body in the most risky outfits. On her recent Dubai break, she posed in a hot pink Victoria’s Secrets bikini and a pale powder blue one-piece swimsuit. Sassy, confident and stylish, Nia rocked the bikini and how!


Jasmin Bhasin
Now, this swimsuit outing really surprised us. We know Jasmin as the drop dead gorgeous Twinkle from Tashan E Ishq but the gal made our jaws drop with her stunning snaps from her Bali holiday. She has flaunted the bikini (black, blue and pink) with aplomb and posted some truly aesthetic and fun pictures. Way to go, girl!


Natasa Stankovic
Remember Natasa Stankovic from Bigg Boss? The Serbian beauty was also seen in the video DJ Wale Babu. The lovely gal has posted bikini pictures from a lovely holiday in Greece and we are totally flat. With the lovely tresses, sun-kissed body and happy smile, she is looking every inch a tropical diva.


Anita Hassanandani
If it’s Maldives, there has to be a bikini. This is the mantra Anita Hassanandani swears by. Check out this bikini picture with her cute husband in Prisma. We were floored in her cute pink avatar in her Bali vacay but this one’s hotter.

10 Salman Khan expressions that can easily replace the Emojis





Call him Bajrangi Bhaijaan or Sultan, these expressions of Salman Khan are bound to make you fall in love with him all over again...

We’re sure you all must have come across people whose laughter is funnier than the joke. Salman Khan is one of them. Believe us, it’s difficult to stop your laughter while seeing him cackling. Salman and Anushka Sharma had come on The Kapil Sharma Show to promote Sultan . For once it wasn’t Kapil’s antics, but Salman’s expressions that made us ROFL. Salman seemed to be in the best of his moods as he danced and laughed throughout the show. He also did the famous Jag Ghoomeya’ dance step on the floor.
The carefree Salman is not of the types who would hold back his laughter. He laughs like no one’s looking which is why many people compare his laughter to that of babies. This was not the first time that Kapil made him go crazy laughing. During the promotions of Jai Ho too we had seen the superstar rolling on the floor holding his stomach. The funny moments created by Ali Asgar, Sunil Grover and Kiku Sharda had left the superstar completely insane.
With his expressive face, we think Salman can give emoticons a tough competition. We are sure this post will make many fans use his pictures instead of the regular smileys. We think Whatsapp owners should definitely have a look at these.

Say cheeseeee!!! 


‘Are you serious’ wala face…


Hmm, kuch toh gadbad hai??


Itni Khushiiii!!!


Oops!!


Can’t handle so much cuteness!!!


Bass kar pagle, rulayega kya???


440 volt wala smile


Why so serious?


Blush…

Actor Vijay's Tamil film Theri is rumoured to be remade in Hindi with Shah Rukh Khan reprising Ilaiyathalapathy's role and the film will be directed by Rohit Shetty.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay is still basking in the success of his latest Tamil film Theri, which has earned a whopping Rs 150 crore at the box office.

Rohit Shetty has officially announced his next with Shah Rukh Khan. Notably, SRK is currently shooting for Anand L Rai's next, where the actor is touted to play a dwarf.
Earlier, Vijay's Thupakki was remade in Hindi as Holiday: A Solider Is Never Off Duty, which was a super-hit at the box office.   
If the reports are true, it would be exciting to see the Dilwale actor in this out-and-out commercial entertainer.

Anushka Sharma, Shahrukh Khan to share screen space for the third time for Imtiyaz Ali's next





The speculation over the female lead in Shah Rukh Khan's film with Imtiaz Ali has been put to rest. The makers have announced that Anushka Sharma has been roped in for the plum role.


The film will mark the third time that Anushka Sharma will share screen space with SRK - after Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Jab Tak Hai Jaan. The film will see Shah Rukh play the character of a tour guide. However, details about Anushka's character in the film are still under wraps.

The movie is expected to go on floors by the end of July. A major chunk of the film will be reportedly shot at Budapest, London and Punjab. The feel-good film will chronicle the life of SRK's character as he undergoes a journey of self-discovery.
The music of the film will be composed by Pritam. The Red Chillies Entertainment production will hit the screens in 2017.

Ranveer Singh & Deepika Padukone headed for a split? Read the truth here




A few days ago, many stories claimed that all is not well between the celebrity couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. But here is a good news for all those who were upset about their split. 

The two recently attended the IIFA awards together and were posing happily together for the shutterbugs. Later, Ranveer Singh posted a cute message for his lady love, which put all the break-up rumours to rest. He wrote, "Leela to my Ram... Mastani to my Bajirao... Best Actress to my Best Actor @deepikapadukone #IIFA2016 Koi Shaq?"

Not so long ago, a leading website had reported, "He (Ranveer) is hurt by the fact that she (Deepika) keeps denying their relationship. There is a communication gap between them as of now which hopefully will be resolved. Also long distance has naturally taken a toll on them. She has been busy shooting for XXX: Return of the Xander Cage in Canada while he's been in Paris with Vaani Kapoor filming Befikre."

When a leading daily, asked Deepika Padukone about the same she said, "There's nothing to respond to. As I said, I have never responded to such rumours and I don't plan to anytime soon. I have never commented on anything before, so I won't say anything now. He has been and will always be an important part of my life. That will never change."

Well, Ranveer Singh's recent tweet has cleared all our doubts and the couple is very much in love! Koi Shaq?

24 years of shahrukh khan: From bollywood's famous villain to the king of romance




He started out as a young boy from Delhi who dreamed of becoming a household name in a country full of superstars. Twenty-four years after he made his debut in Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan today embodies the rags-to-riches story. His tale of struggle up the ranks, without any big names backing him, is one that is often retold.

It has been 24 years since the release of Shah Rukh Khan's first film Deewana (1992) - where he played a supporting role opposite Rishi Kapoor. What bagged him a role in this star-studded film was his performance on television shows - namely, Fauji andCircus.
While Shah Rukh Khan was first noticed for his performance in Deewana, it wasBaazigar (1993) that established him as a force to be reckoned with. His portrayal of an unstoppable antagonist in the Abbas Mastan-directorial helped him land the role of an obsessed lover in Darr (1993) directed by Yash Chopra - a film where he overshadowed 1990s superstar Sunny Deol.

After Darr and Baazigar, filmmakers flocked to Shah Rukh, offering him roles with shades of grey. Another film which won him an award for the best actor in a negative role was Anjaam (1994).
Interestingly, Bollywood's 'King of Romance' earned his nickname only after Aditya Chopra approached him to play the lead in his debut film, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
His contemporaries and the industry as a whole were shocked at Chopra's choice. Shah Rukh himself was sceptical about taking on the role. Close friends, including Ratan Jain - the producer of Baazigar - warned him not to do a romantic film as the audience would not accept him in such a role.
Aditya Chopra and Yash Chopra somehow convinced Shah Rukh Khan to come on board for the film. The rest as they say, is history.
