When I assumed the role of a tech moderator at NG at the request of Rohit (and with some reservations), I had additional authority of a moderator. As was apparent during the weekend I have no bandwidth to volunteer my time and fulfill the role of moderator, due to personal and other commitments. So, i [...]

• How much of the real Ranbir do we know?
Probably 30 per cent. And that too from the films I do because it’s only then that I actually give something of myself to the character. But when I am doing interviews, there is a certain amount [...]

Be it ‘Devdas’ or ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’… punchy one- liners and thought provoking dialogues have been an important part of Shah Rukh Khan’s movies. We have compiled a list of some such SRK dialogues that have been scripted on our minds forever. Flip on and enjoy the dialogues from some of Shah Rukh’s most [...]
Rating: Two stars (okay so it has a huge budget, technical varnish, A-list stars..so what?)
Whip whip hurray. To keep himself away from carnal pleasures – read Miss Asin – the wannasing, wannarock star snaps his belt off, and flagellates himself. Ouch, grimace, ouch, scowl, angry-ooh-so-angry. Moral of the scene: next time you’re violently attracted to [...]
The moustache and stubble are gone. Because Raavan’s over. His hair is styled to look very today. That possibly can’t be Surya Sen. And there are those shades. That AB Jr was quick to clarify had more to do with an eye infection than anything else. What’s unchanged is that deep (but not daunting like [...]
In early 2000, a director named Peter Jackson took a decision that would change the way we look at an entire genre of cinema that was, until then, withering away slowly. When Jackson decided to transfer the epic Lord of the Rings series onto celluloid, it paved the way for a whole slew of similar [...]
Ranbir Kapoor is the new favourite at Yash Raj Films. After starring in YRF’s Bachna Ae Haseeno and the forthcoming Rocket Singh Salesman of the Year, Ranbir will now star in a film to be directed by Aditya Chopra. The film will go on the floors early next year. Ranbir was best choice for the [...]
Movie: Anwar (2007)
Singers : Kshitij and Shilpa Rao
Music Director : Mithoon Sharma
Lyricist : Hassan Kamaal
This is an amazing composition from Mithoon. He composed some exceptional songs and showed lots of promise, but surprisingly faded out quickly. Most of his compositions belonged to the ’sufi’ genre. I am hoping he can come back and give us [...]

Rishi Kapoor is overwhelmed with the kind of response Wake Up Sid has generated for son Ranbir. After some anxious moments spent in the week that led to Friday release of the film, he is also relieved that Ranbir has now been widely recognized as an actor who is reliable and can deliver the goods.

Despite Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan anchoring the third season of big-ticket reality show Bigg Boss on Colors, data from aMap, the overnight ratings agency, showed that the launch episode aired on October 4 generated an average television rating point (TRP) of just 3.
This is not only less than what media agencies had anticipated, but also [...]
‘Wake Up Sid’ has hit the jackpot and now it’s a matter of seeing the kind of distance it would eventually cover. As someone who has entrusted the responsibility of directing a film to first timers like Nikhil Advani (Kal Ho Na Ho), Soham Shah (Kaal) and Tarun Mansukhani (Dostana) earlier, he is ecstatic that [...]
