With IPL round the corner, its time once again for various franchisees to create maximum awareness about their respective teams, and keeping this in mind, Shah Rukh Khan (who owns Kolkata Knight Riders) has come up with the idea of a unique T.V. reality show called ‘ Knights and Angels’. This much-awaited reality dance show will trace the hunt for 6 spirited and talented girls to lead the Cheer-leaders Squad of the Kolkata Knight Riders. Adding his final stamp of authority, would be judge Sourav Ganguly the inimitable icon of Indian cricket and captain of Kolkata Knight Riders. The show will be hosted by V.J. turned actor Purab Kohli and the pretty Anushka Sharma (who made a stunning debut opposite SRK in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi) will be seen as the special celebrity judge in the first episode.

After an extensive audition conducted across key metros in India, the 24 shortlisted girls will be groomed and trained by the biggest names in the Indian entertainment industry. The 6 finalists will have to possess qualities like energy, style, chutzpah, poise, personality, attitude, grace, rhythm, and fire within themselves to make it to the Knight Riders cheerleading squad. King Khan’s girls will be mentored by ace choreographer Shiamak Davar and will be taken through their paces by the revolving guest judges, which will see some of the biggest and prettiest faces in Bollywood!

After watching Slumdog Millionaire, Aadesh Shrivastava has a question for Danny Boyle. “How dare you degrade our national icon Amitabh Bachchan?”
Composer Aadesh Shrivastava has been in and out of the US collaborating with rapper Wyclef Jean.

But now after Slumdog Millionaire, Aadesh says he’s embarrassed to walk on the American streets. “I’m so upset. They’ve started calling Indians ‘ slumdogs’, just like ‘coolie’ was a gaali in Britain. Now in the US I feel slumdog is a gaali for us Indians. Mumbai has given me everything. To see the city being shown as a place of dirt filth and crime only is very humiliating. Even I can make a film on child prostitution and pedophilia. But it won’t get Oscars because I am not a gora.”

Putting together a real-life incident on celluloid isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. The sealing issue in Delhi hit headlines, causing tremendous grief and heartburn to people who were affected by it, besides hitting them financially.

One expects director Anand Kumar to portray the facts with complete understanding, more so because the film is based on producer Sandiip Kapur’s real-life experiences. But writers Bunty Rathore and Priyank Dubey make a complete mess of what could’ve been an interesting cinematic experience.

Certain cases remain unsolved. Period. Years later, a film-maker dons the robe of a detective and starts investigating the truth, digging deep into files and newspapers.

The West has often produced films that do their own investigation. Now this trend seems to be catching up in India as well. Last year, Neeraj Pandey presented a piece of fiction in A WEDNESDAY; a case that never came out of the police headquarters. This week, writer-director Manish Gupta picks up a startling, true-to-life story of a serial killer, merges fact and fiction and comes up with his take on what must’ve actually transpired almost three decades ago.

Salman Khan is one of the most talked about Bollywood stars. Though of late his films haven’t been successful at the Box Office, his upcoming venture Veer is one that is being awaited with bated breath. We got some on location stills from the sets of Veer. The images show Sallu looking like a desi ‘Gladiator’ riding high on his horse with his tresses waving in the wind like that of a fair maiden.

The shoot in question took place at the historic Amber Fort which depicts the royal battle between King Gyanendar Singh of Madhaygarh played by Jackie Shroff and Maharana Pratap Singh aka Veer played but obviously by Salman Khan. Looking at the image we are quite literally taken back to the days of yore when warriors were built. With his well chiseled physique and completely different look, Sallu has given the audience yet another reason to watch out for this film.
