Yudh: The New Amitabh Bachchan Show + Super Writing Contest!

Should You Watch The New Amitabh Bachchan Show? + Super Writing Contest! To say that Amitabh Bachchan towers taller than the steely buildings that make up the landscape of Yudh, the new fictional TV show that debuted on Sony Entertainment Television last night, won’t surprise you. As owner of a construction company, Mr Bachchan plays angry and humble, ill and warring, all with lock-jaw restraint. Now we never write about television on bpb, but as people who’ve whined about how this lifetime isn’t long enough to watch all the brilliant TV fiction coming out of the West, while the Indian box gives us nothing, we had to tune in. Plus the show’s credits include Anurag Kashyap as Creative Director and Shoojit Sircar   as Creative Consultant; and the cast besides Amitabh Bachchan playing Yudh or Yudhishtir, also features Kay Kay Menon, Sarika, Tigmanshu Dhulia and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Now that’s a lot of fodder for intrigue. Alert: spoilers ahead. Episod...

Deepika says : Hope Rahul Gandhi becomes PM one day

Actress Deepika Padukone has praised Congress MP Rahul Gandhi as a "classical role model" for youth and hopes he leads the country as prime minister one day.

an awesome journey of Genelia D'Souza

She has a sparkle in her eyes and a smile on her lips.   But there is more to Genelia D'Souza than meets the eye. Even though she made her debut with Tujhe Meri Kasam in 2003 it was her Tamil flick     'Boys'whichGother recognition. She continued acting in Tamil and Telugu movies before trying her hand in Hindi flicks once again. 'Jaane tu Ya Jaane Na' brought her back into the limelight and before long she was endorsing products.    Her must see movies are: 'Masti', 'Boys' (Tamil), 'Sachein' (Tamil) and 'Satyam' (Telugu) She is all set to scale new heights with Urmi. She plays a Portuguese princess in this Santosh Sivan flick. I've been lucky. I didn't plan anything. I've never contacted a single producer.  So far, it's been an awesome journey," says Genelia. And as she turns a year older we hope her luck will hold.   FREE Subscribe to SCHOLARS CLUB ==> If you liked this po...

The flavor of the season

Ranbir Kapoor, the flavor of the season seems to deliver one hit after another all thanks to his professional and very meticulous approach towards a film. This time around while shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Anjaana Anjaani', Ranbir Kapoor got so engrossed into getting a particular running scene right that co-star Priyanka Chopra injured her leg; thanks to a pair of high heels and Ranbir's enthusiasm to get the scene right.    The shoot was stalled for four hours and Ranbir Kapoor being the gentleman spent the rest of the day profusely apologising to Priyanka Chopra and even personally looked into getting a doctor's opinion. Meanwhile the yuppie heart throb who surely knows how to flash his sensuality quotient and lopsided sense of humour, performed a 'Salman' act during a TV show. Ranby Boy was on a telly show and when the host jocularly told Ranby that he was making a Tamil film and would like RK to audition for him. Without a moment...

Read 'Khatta Meetha’ movie review

'Khatta Meetha’ is noise, more noise and only noise.  When Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar join hands, you expect the cineplex to reverberate with laughter. Let's not forget, the team has regaled us with some terrific entertainers in the past. Naturally then, you expect 'Khatta Meetha' to take the legacy forward. Unfortunately, 'Khatta Meetha' is noise the actors scream a lot in this movie], more noise [the great promotion] and only noise, while the content takes a complete backseat. Although 'Khatta Meetha' shouldn't be compared to this combo's earlier works, since this one's a satire, I have to add that this is their weakest film to date. The first question I asked myself once the movie got over was, what's the story? Okay, okay, neither did Priyadarshan's last few films had a story to tell, but when you attempt a satire, when one talks of the hardships faced by the common man, when one talks of corruption in society, t...
