Movies Will Now Release In Single Screens

The fight is now in its 6th week.. No Hindi movie has released in multiplexes or single theaters since April 4. Even after rounds of meetings the two parties could not reach a consensus on revenue sharing possibilities; each blaming one another.

So finally some of the big producers of Bollywood movies, have come up and decided to release all small and big films on single screens, non multiplex theaters across India. With no other solution becoming, this seems to be the last resort to keep the audiences happy. They will even market their own movies.

Come May 29, and as many as six films are being lined up. Each week will see a new movie starting with Kal Kissne Dekha. Films like New York, Love Aaj Kal, Jashn and Kaminey will follow soon.

Although producers are eager to release movies at the earliest, they hope to see July as a turning point. They are anxious to release major blockbusters, mega-budget and big star cast movies so that the industry heaves a sigh of relief in an already depressed market.

Multiplexes are also in talks of coming teaming up and creating a war chest of $8 million in order to acquire new films and distribute them on their own….

Mandira Bedi: Stunner In A Saree

She is a TV throng and a very hot, infectiously vivacious cricket loving lady who changed the way cricket was looked at. The first lady of cricket, Mandira entered an arena that was once only gentleman’s domain. In the 2003 Cricket World Cup, with co-presenter Charu Sharma, she came across as the eye candy and a highly stylized persona that was vital in attracting, engaging and expanding the audience base for cricket viewing in India. Her noodle strap blouses and designer sarees brought a lot of pizzazz to the game of cricket.

Her attire may have made more news than her opinions on cricket, but that never fazed Mandira. She knew she loved the game and that connected with her audience. Today, she has outlasted most of the male presenters.

Before cricket happened, Mandira was already a household name with the character of Shanti that she played in the hit serial aired on Doordarshan. She also played the villain in much popular Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Much to her modeling assignments as well, she bagged silver screen with her role as a supporting actress in the blockbuster Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Although Bollywood was not really a big bang, but she did a few roles here and there including her husband Raj Kaushal’s Shaadi Ka Ladoo, Manmadan(Tamil), Dus Kahaniyan and MeeraBai Not Out. Between cricket and films she has been doing a lot of theatre, apart from being a popular face with Indian producers….

Gift Her Time This Mother’s Day

The second Sunday of May is a very important day for each and every one of us. Mother’s Day is a day to remember the most important person that we will ever have in our lives. So what are you planning to gift your mother this year? Jewelry? Flowers? A Fancy dinner?

Sure those things would be nice, but what moms would really love would be to spend time with their families.

Maybe the deep recession has made everybody refocus on traditional values and what matters most to us. Perhaps moms understand best how much people are struggling to pay their bills and don’t want to pile any more of a burden on their children.

No matter what, the materialistic items can never express how much you care for her as may be a little rest that she deserves for the hard work she has been putting in all this while.

You really don’t have to spend millions to make your mother happy. A few simple things together will assure her that you love her.

1. Send her love letters: During the week leading up to the D Day, mail her a daily list of 10 things you appreciate about her. It could be in photos, scrapbooks, or may be just little notes with flowers. Just be creative and express.

2. Gift her a spa day: Give her the opportunity to pamper herself. For she has always neglected herself for your needs. If you don’t want to spend much you could even have a spa day at home. All you need to do is hit up the drugstore for some pedicure kits, face and hair masques, and body polish. Play one of her favorite books on tape in the background or a soothing instrumental soundtrack to a movie she loves.

3. Whip up a gourmet brunch: She has been cooking all her life for you. Why not take the help of the internet and explore the chef in you. I am sure she’d love the comfort of eating at home, cooked by you.

5. Host a home-movie night: Dig out those embarrassing family videos — road trips, recitals, birthday parties, etc. — and laugh your self off at the good old days. Bring gourmet popcorn, movie favorites like Junior Mints and Sno-caps, and make root beer floats…

Star Stressbusters

Our lifestyles are so busy that we at times feel much under the pressure. Imagine the state of the bollywood stars who are forever in the limelight, they are always under a tight scrutiny for a simple folly. Hi-end lifestyle, they are out of the house for months together and tackle immense competition. To top it all the media that literally pounces on them. Almost everybody in a way gets right to talk about them, their personal lives. Critics will strip you for every performance or producers would back out for every new experimental role. They are in the spotlight and that my friends is not easy to handle. All in all theres is a roller coaster life.

Akshay Kumar had taken up Tai chi in a big way. Tai Chi is known as the healing Martial Art that promotes the circulation of chi ie life energy within the body, encouraging wellness and vitality of the person on a whole. And Akshay is not only seen mastering the art but also promoting it to his friends and loved ones. With such healthy means of de-stressing and keeping fit, it is no surprise that even today he can give any newcomer a run for his money

Following close is Ishaa Koppikar who is the only actress to have taken Tae Kwondo. From being a red belt she is buckling up for a black belt. Watch Out!

While Akshay Kumar does Tai Chi and takes a beach walk when he feels pressured, Kajol likes to vroom around the highway in her car. Anil Kapoor, Shahrukh both enjoy watching cartoons. Shahrukh also shares a passion with Abhishek Bachchan; the passion of playstation.

Lara Dutta and Sameera Reddy cool off in a swimming pool. While ice creams keeps Karisma Kapoor destressed, sibling Kareena turns to shopping. Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt and Juhi Chawal all sing and listen to music to keep their nerves going. Priyanka is also a trained dancer while Juhi has been consistent with her riyaz for over years now. Its the instant kick of energy that elevates moods and puts them in high spirits…
