“Radio” Music Review
Music Director: Himesh Reshammiya
Lyrics By: Subrat Sinha
Himesh does deserve the credit of giving us a lot of rocking numbers, but then somewhere his music became monotonous (remember that nasal high pitched singing all through). But having rested for a while, or may be having learned from all his debacles, his music is once again rocking in the movie Radio. The main track song “mann ka Radio”, isn’t quite like most of his earlier numbers, and best of all his peculiar nasal crooning is very slight. In fact we kind of like this title track, with its evocative rhythm and carefully chosen beats.
The next track is Zindagi Jaise Ek Radio, and well it doesn’t sound quite exciting even with the Punjabi touch. The lyrics are hilarious, the beats are fast paced but it’s still not appealing. It’s even been remixed, but that again is an effort in vain.
The ‘Jaaneman’, is quite a track to listen too. Its an absolutely melodious number that Shreya has sung with Himesh. The lyrics and the tune, both are soft, mushy and romantic. And in league with this song is ''Koi Na Koi Chahe'', which is again soft and melodious.
''Piya Jaise Ladoo '' is another rocking number in the film, its with a classical touch and is sure to leave you mesmerized. The song has even been remixed, but I think that remixing wasn’t really needed.
All the other numbers are equally good, so if you are planning to buy its music CD, we’ll say go ahead because it’s surely worth the money.

Dil Bole Hadippa a Preview
Dil Bole Hadippa starring Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee is to be released this Friday (18th Sep 09), and we thought of giving you a little sneak on what the movie is all about. Well the story line has nothing new, its all about a rebellious Rani Mukherjee, a small town girl, cross-dressing as a Sardar Ji to make a mark in the male dominated society. As for Rani’s get up as a sardar ji, I must say you need to be blind not to be able to figure out that it’s a girl behind the costume.
The whole cross dressing thing is about Rani wanting to play Cricket in Shahid Kapoor’s team, for which she wears a turban and puts on a beard (and wonder no body in the team could make out that she is a girl). And from here on the story turns romantic, just like any other Hindi movie. There isn’t much hope in terms of the story, but lets wait and watch whether the direction and screenplay can make it mint money at the box office.
Do have a look at Rani’s sardar ji makeover and let us know if she stands even close to a real Sardar Ji.

Anushka is all set to sizzle on the screen with the Hot dude Akshay Kumar, and maybe this new romantic venture may spike her filmy career.
And well that’s not the only movie she’s managed to grab, there is another one too in the pipeline.

Rani promoting 'Dil Bole Haddipa' at Toronto Film Festival
Rani Mukherjee’s and Shahid Kapoor’s upcoming film ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’, by Yash Raj Films had its red carpet event for its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, and who else but Rani Mukherjee herself was there to promote the film. The event started off on a real upbeat note with a Bhangra performance, creating an ideal setting for a movie with a Punjabi background.
Rani was seen in a splendid off shoulder purple gown with her hair left half loose. But we think she would have been better in some waist fitting gown, just to flaunt her newly achieved slim waist. After all she’s lost eight Kgs for this movie, and what occasion would have been more suitable than the world premiere of her latest film, to show off her newly defined silhouettes.

Priyanka Chopra's Yet Another Social Mission
Priyanka Chopra has been associated with many social associations, and recently she has come forward to support the “Save the Children” campaign which is working hard to provide education to about 8 million children. The targeted children are mostly from conflict affected areas, and the whole drive is about securing food, health care and shelter for these deprived children, besides protecting them from abuse, violence and exploitation.
Priyanka even expressed her desire to visit all the eleven centers where this organization is currently working, while speaking about her determination to create awareness about the importance of education in India.
Priyanka we’re happy that Bollywood stars like you have been participating actively in social causes, and all we’d like to say is keep up the good work.

Salman Khan at Mens Fashion Week
Salman Khan is undoubtedly the sexiest hunk of Bollywood, and he was quite a show stopper at the recently held finale of Men’s fashion week. He walked the ramp twice, once looking smashing in a black suit designed by Ashish Soni and the second time in a gray suit by Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna. We’ve got both the stunning pictures right here.

Amitabh Bacchan
Amitabh Bacchan
He is the most celebrated and a truly legendary actor of the Hindi cinema. Ever since his debut appearance in 1969 in the movie Saat Hindustani, he has made significant contributions to the Hindi cinema. And even though he went into a short retirement in 1992, his immense fan following made him to come back to the Bollywood mainstream.
Some of his earlier works didn’t turn out well at the box office, but within two years of entering into Bollywood, he made his first mark with his much acclaimed role as a doctor in the movie Anand. From then on it was a series of brilliant performances delivered by him in movies such as Bawarchi, Zanjeer, Abhimaan, Namak Haraam, Deewar, Sholay, Amar Akbar Anthony, Silsila, Lawaaris, Coolie, Hum, Shahenshah, Agneepath, Mohabbatein, Baghban, Sarkar, Baabul and Nishabd, that is just to name a few.
His tall stature, his baritone voice and his distinctive demeanor has made him the most cherished of Bollywood actors. Amitabh Bacchan has enjoyed colossal fan following, for his excellent works, not just in the Indian subcontinent but all across the globe. His incredibly stalwart performances have earned him titles like ‘angry young man’, ‘shehenshah’ and ‘Big B’, from the media and his fans.
Apart from having made major contributions to the Hindi cinema, for the last few years he has been making his mark on the small box, acting as the host in the popular TV show Kaun Banega Karorpati. And we wish him all the best for his soon to come, reality show Big Boss Season-3.
