Actors Nagarjuna and Ravi Teja, along with the units of at least two films, are stranded in Bangkok following the indefinite shutdown of its airport, actress Trisha said here Saturday. “Actors Nagarjuna and Ravi Teja and directors Puri Jagannath and Seenu Vyatla, along with their units, are stranded. We were scared as we did not know when we would be able to travel and what form the anti-government protests in Thailand would take,” Trisha said.
“While I somehow managed to reach Phuket by road, flew to Kuala Lumpur to finally board a flight to Chennai with great difficulty, the others are still stranded. As tickets to travel out of Thailand are scarce, nobody knows when the others will return,” Trisha added.

What else could better than Dancing and enjoying on music played by DJs Varin and Sukhin?
Truly DJ Varin came back with bang playing all the Bollywood’s latest dance numbers at BollyWEST nite at 87+ (Conrad Hotel).
As usual me and my friends were having doubts about the turnout due to the bad timing, but again DJ Varin defied our presumptions and prooved us wrong.
After 11 o clock dance floor was filled with handsome boys and pretty girls dancing on great music played by DJ Varin and DJ Sukhin.
Varin played the title track "Singh is king" several times, which was a big hit with the crowds.
My favourite song of that night was "main Talli Ho Gayi" which could be reflected by the fact that girls were "talli" and really dancing like hot Malika Sherawat.
Party ended with lucky draw event where prizes was distributed to lucky winners
Look out for Varin's next party, we hope that this unbeatable "Jodi number 1" of DJs Varin and Sukhin remain intact and they continue to rock us for years to come!
While many Hindi films are made up of elements of Elizabethan popular drama, only a handful use them as a base to build more profound perspectives and visions a-la William Shakespeare, the world’s greatest dramatist.Some go to the extent of incorporating the Shakespearian storyline, themes, techniques of composition and even specific sequences. “The Last Lear”, the latest made-in-India English film, brings together acclaimed filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh and Bollywood’s A-list stars Amitabh Bachchan and Preity Zinta for a film where the Bard of Avon is not merely an influence but pretty much morphs into a central character.
Based on Utpal Dutt’s Bengali play “Aajker Shahjahan”, which roughly translates into “Reigning King”, the film has Bachchan, 66, essaying the role of Harry, a theatre actor who has always yearned to play the English playwright’s tragic hero King Lear.
After decades of no recognition and blatant plagiarism, the legendary English poet and writer is finally getting due credit as the inspiration of many Indian cinematic endeavours.
“The Indian filmdom and Shakespeare are inextricably, creatively, most profitably and commercially intertwined and interrelated,” says researcher Amitava Roy.
In the bid to find a foothold in global cinema avant grade filmmakers on this side of the world are opening going to town declaring their films as inspired by the creations of the British dramatist.
While a zillion blockbusters variations of the “Romeo and Juliet” like “Heena”, “Bobby”, “Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak” and others, some more sublime works have ended up as “Angoor”, “Agnipath”, “Maqbool”, “Eklavya” and “Omkara”.
Many Bollywood filmmakers head to idyllic islands to shoot song sequences, but debutant director Yugander V.V. chose to shoot an entire feature film on a small island in Thailand. He says the tiny place had all the elements he needed for his movie “The Goodbye Trip”.The film, which doesn’t boast of top actors, was shot in Koh Kai Island nearby Karbi - a 12-14-hour drive from Bangkok.
“The island has a radius of one kilometre and anyone can walk from one end to the other in just 15 minutes,” Yugander, who worked as an assistant to Shyam Benegal and Mahesh Mathai for “Hari Bhari” and “Bhopal Express” respectively, told IANS.
“In spite of being small, it had all the elements, including a hill, which was required for our shoot. Besides, the look of the island which changed every day, according to the tides and weather, gave us variation in shots,” he said.
The director said the main reason for choosing Koh Kai was that it doesn’t have palm trees.
The two-hour film was shot with 21 actors and Yugander says shooting on the tiny island was difficult but exciting as well.
It’s a Yash Chopra banner. It has the rising star Ranbir Kapoor, a bevy of beauties Minisha Lamba, Bipasha Basu,Deepika Padukone, irreverent dudes such as Ranbir’s best friend Hiten Paintel, Siddharth Anand’s slick direction, excellent cinematography and Vishal Shekhar’s winning compositions. Then why does Bachna Ae Haseeno leave us groaning and not grinning?
From the outset, it seems that the film is a desperate attempt to win over the audience. It has everything that worked in the past crammed in, shades of several YashRaj banners characters from different hit films - romance rendered by Shah Rukh and Kajol (DDLJ), the independence of Preity Zinta and Saif Khan (Salaam Namaste) etc. The attempt seems geared towards shoving the audience into nostalgia mode as a last measure to recover from their string of recent flops.
The story spans 14 years knitting together three love stories of the young Casanova Raj Sharma (Ranbir) at different points in his life. His first fling is during his high school years in 1996 on a trip to Switzerland. He meets Mahi, (Manisha Lamba), courts and dumps her in a whirl, leaving her caustic for life. The second is a tryst with ‘hot stuff’ model Radhika, (Bipasha Basu), repeating the same story with her. The third is in Australia where he meets Gayatri (Deepika Padukone), an independent minded, career driven taxi driver who does the loving and leaving thing on Raj now, making him rejected and dejected. Does he remain ejected is what the second half is all about!
