The history of Bollywood dates back to 1913, the year when Dadasaheb Phalke’s silent movie Raja Harishchandra hit the theatres. The film’s success inspired creative people and technicians to seriously think about film making. The advent of talkies in Bollywood cinema was with Alam Ara made in 1931, and it was followed by the first Hindi film in colour, named Kisan Kanya.

The period of the Second World War (1939-1945) coincided with the tumult of the Indian independence movement, and hence Bollywood films during this time were mostly escapist ones to bring some joy to the audience in those difficult times. Achhut Kanya that dealt with the controversial issue of untouchability, and Shaheed, that was highly patriotic in its theme.

Rural poverty and lasting family values were finely portrayed in Mehboob Khan’s Mother India, which hit the screens in 1957. It was about the same time that Guru Dutt and Raj Kapoor made some of their best films, and showed their wonderful directorial and acting skills in movies such as Pyaasa, Awara and Shree 420. Mughal-E-Azam (1960) was an epic on celluloid that brought the Mughal era on the Indian screen with great realism.

Music composers like OP Nayyar and SD Burman enchanted the masses with their wonderful compositions and artistes like Nargis, Madhubala, Dev Anand and Ashok Kumar became household names. It was during the 1950s and 60s that Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar won nationwide acclaim as playback singers.

Shammi Kapoor, with his Elvis-like looks, danced his way to fame in the rocking 60s. The 70s witnessed the rise of the angry young man, portrayed superbly by Amitabh Bachchan. The action genre continued into the mid 80s, until the release of Qayamat se Qayamat Tak in 1988, and since then, romantic movies have been popular in Bollywood and can even be seen in the latest Bollywood movies. But now Bollywood possesses highly skilled professionals and advanced equipment, which helps in creating movies that quite often go on to get global acclaim.

Arunraj V.S. asked:




Here is the list of Bollywood movies releasing in 2009. Akshay Kumar has quite a good line up of films in 2009 while Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan have a film each, apart from their special appearances in three films. Among the actresses, the three Ks-Kangana Ranaut, Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif look set to have a good year.

* Victory: Victory starring Harman Baweja, is one of the most expensive movies of 2009. The story is about a boy from a small time village in Rajasthan who fulfills his father’s long cherished dream of being an acclaimed cricketer at the national level. There are cameo appearances by many international cricketers as well. Anupam Kher and Amrita Rao costar in Victory.

* Acid Factory: Acid Factory, a Sanjay Gupta film has an elaborate start cast of Dia Mirza, Irrfan Khan, Fardeen Khan, Manoj Bajpai, Aftab Shivdasani and Danny Denzongpa. Acid Factory is about a group of people, whose sense of past has been erased from their memory. It is a high octane thriller, making the bad and evil relish-able. Dia Mirza plays a bad woman for the first time. The music of Acid Factory has been give by many music directors, including Sandeep Chowta, Anand Raj Anand, Mika Singh. The director of Acid Factory is Suparn Verma.

* Raaz-The Mystery Continues: Director Mohit Suri attempts to show in this sequel to Raaz, that no one is good or bad totally; every one has their own demons to fight. Raaz-The Mystery Continues is a story of three people. Emraan Hashmi an artist, visualizes and prophecies the brutal death of Kangana Ranaut. Kangana’s beau (reel and real life) Adhyayan is determined to save her at any cost. The movie under Mukesh Bhatt’s Vishesh Films releases on January 23, 2009.

* Chandni Chowk to China: Director Nikhil Advani is back with a prized Akshay Kumar starrer-Chandni Chowk to China. The story is such that Akshay Kumar works at a roadside foodstall in Chandni Chowk, cutting vegetables and dreaming of a better life. He consults astrologers, tarot readers and the lot, believing in everything but himself. His redeeming moment comes when two strangers from China claim that he(Akshay) is a reincarnation of a war hero and takes him to China. Akshay moves along with Ranvir Shourey in a bid to realize his brave past. Along the way he meets Deepika Padukone and they set off in a series of adventures.

* Billu Barber: If Aamir Khan adapted a movie Ghajini from the south last year, Shahrukh Khan does a similar thing this. Billu Barber produced by Shahrukh Khan is loosely based on the friendship between Kishen and Sudama and also borrows from the Malayalam superhit Kuselan. Shahrukh Khan plays himself in the movie(call it an extended special appearance) while Irrfan Khan, who is the protagonist plays a small town barber. Whatever the fate of the film, one thing is for sure: you will blown away by the performances of two of the best actors of Bollywood.

* Delhi 6: The best director of 2006 Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra produces and directs this film. It is an autobiographic take on his growing days in Delhi. The film should be the trump card for actress Sonam Kapoor. It also stars Abhishek Bachchan. There is a huge expectation from the director who started a revolution with Rang De Basanti.

* Delhi Belly: Imran Khan who had played two distinct roles in hit Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and flop Kidnap, comes back in a frothy comedy, to be made by the best producer in Bollywood, yep you guessed it right, Aamir Khan. There is buzz that Delhi Belly is an adult comedy with ‘strong language’ and sexual innuendos. The movie Delhi Belly is being marketed as an adult copy, appealing to a niche audience and international market. The film is directed by Abhinav Deo.

* New York: Kabir Khan who surprised us pleasantly with “Kabul Express” comes back in 2009 with a taut thriller called ‘New York’ . New York stares Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh and John Abraham who has stripped himself to the buff(rejoice girls!) for a particular sequence of the film. New York is a contemporary story of three friends whose lives are scarred events beyond their control.

* Luck by Chance: The man of multiple talents Farhan Akhtar stars in what could be one of the finest Bollywood movie release to 2009.The star studded release include Hrithik Roshan, Rishi Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, Dimple Kapadia, Isha Sherwani, Juhi Chawla and Sanjay Kapoor. Luck By Chance is a take on the aspiring actor with stars in his eyes, who wants to get a foothold in the Bollywood industry. It is a movie about how much of an impact does luck play in Bollywood.

* 8 x 10: This will be Akshay Kumar’s first ‘non-filmi’ movie if one can use this term. In a relatively low budget film directed by the ever dependable Nagesh Kukoonoor and produced by Percept, it will portray Akshay Kumar as a man who can look into the past of dead people by touching objects that belonged to them. Inspired lightly by ‘Sixth Sense,’ this film is a must watch.

* Alibaug; Directed by Sanjay Gupta, it has a bevy of actors: Sunjay Dutt, Sanjay Suri, Diya Mirza, ROhit Roy and Maushmi Makhija. The story deals with nine youths who have just graduated from college and are looking at the real world that awaits them.

* Alladin : Alladin is an interpretation of Arabian Nights. It stars Riteish Deshmukh as Alladin and Amitabh Bachan as the genie. Expect a lot of special effects in this funny tale. Sanjay Dutt also stars in the film as a villain called Ringmaster, directed by Sujoy Ghosh.

* Ajab Prem ki Ghajab Kahani: Raj Kumar Santoshi, one of the prolific directors of Bollywood, attempts to bring the magic of Andaaz Apna Apna once again with a comic caper cum love story, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. The movie has a simple story of Ranbir Kapoor who moves around in his life, aimlessly. He keeps on fooling around till he meets Katrina Kaif and falls in love with her. After that the fun and madness begins.

* * Aashayein: Aashayein directed by Nagesh Kukunoor stars Ayesha Takia and John Abraham. John Abraham plays a compulsive gambler suddenly discovers that he is a victim of terminal illness, and that he has only 90 days to live. He is admitted to a hospital where he discover love, companionship and the beautiful meaning of life.

* Kambhakkt Ishq: One of the most talked about movies, Kambhaqt Ishq has beeen in news since 2008. Kambakth Ishq has cameo roles from major Hollywood stars including Sylvester Stallone and Denise Richards. The film stars Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor. Akshay Kumar who plays stuntman, will be back in his action avatar, doing dare devil stunts. The movie also stars Aftab Shivdasani, Amrita Arora and is directed by debutant Sabir Khan. Kambakth Ishq is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.

* London Dreams: London Dreams, one of the most expensive movies of 2009 stars Salman Khan, Ajay Devgan and Asin. London Dreams is a story about two pop stars Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan who fall in love with a South Indian girl, Asin.

* Rensil D’ Silva’s next: Rensil D’Silva who was Rang De Basanti’s screenplay writer become director with this film. It is a thriller with global terrorism in the background. The movie stars Saif Ali Khan, Vivek Oberoi and Kareena Kapoor. Karan Johar is the producer.

* Hissss: Hissss is synoymous with Mallika Sherwat. Hollywood collaborates with Bollywood to produce Hissss. Mallika plays a snake who is on the way to seek vengeance. An American visitor steps into the jungles of India and kills the female snake’s mate which makes her seek revenge. Expect a lot of special effects in this flick. Apparently Mallika Sherwat who is dressed in a painfully heavy snake costume(she couldnt even go to the loo for 10 hours flat while shooting for this film) has no dialogue to mouth in the film.

* De Dhana Dhan: Priyadarshan is back with his style of comedy with De Dana Dhan. The movie stars the current hot onscreen pair-Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar. Suniel Shetty and Paresh Rawal also star in the film, hopefully to recreate the Hera-Pheri magic, 9 years ago. De Dana Dhan is a story of two broke guys who are in search of big money, to prove a point to their girlfriends. The movie also stars Sameera Reddy and Neha Dhupia.

* What’s Your Rashee: Director Ashutosh Gowariker tries a love story with What’s Your Rashee? starring lovers Priyanka Chopra and Harman Baweja. The movie is an adaptation of a Gujarati novel by Shri Madhu called Kimbali Ravenswood. The romantic movie is a story about how Harman Baweja has just ten days to win over the love of his life, Priyanka Chopra.

* Kaminay: One of the most prolific directors, Vishal Bharadwaj comes back with a bang in Kaminay, starring Shahid Kapur, Priyanka Chopra and Amol Gupte(the creative director of Taare Zameen Par). Easily one of the awaited films of 2009, you will see Shahid Kapur in a double role here. The look of Shahid is going to be totally different for Kaminay and it is reportedly kept under the wraps. The movie is supposed to be a comedy with a difference.

* Imtiaz Ali’s next film: Imtiaz Ali, who had given the saccharine sweet Jab We Met, two years ago, comes up with a romantic intense tale, which stars Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan. Though the story is kept under wraps, it will be a true-blue love story of 2009.

* Wake Up Sid: Call it unconventional romantic pairing, but we have Konkona Sen Sharma and Ranbir Kapoor starring in Wake Up Sid, directed by debutant Ayaan Mukherjee. It is a Karan Johar production. Will be interesting to see how people from two different genres, Konkona and Ranbir do with this one.

* It’s My Life: The sweetheart of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na(2008) pairs up with Harman Baweja in the movie Its My Life. The movie is directed by the director with the superhit track record, Anees Bazmee.

* Wanted-Dead or Alive: Starring the muscular Salman Khan and the voluptuous Ayesha Takia, Wanted-Dead or Alive should be the first big hit of the most under rated performer of Bollywood, Ms. Takia. Prabhudeva’s first Bollywood directorial venture is a remake of his Tamil-Telugu blockbuster Pokiri. The pairing of the two beautiful actors is wonderful and the chemistry is going to sizzle the screen.

* Blue: Blue, one of the most expensive film of Bollywood ever(budget more than Rs.100 crores), has Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Lara Dutta and Zayed Khan in lead roles. The action film is shot in Bahamas and is written by American writers Joshua Lurie and Bryan M. Sullivan. The movie has a lot of underwater scenes and dare devil stunts by Akshay Kumar. A.R.Rahman has given music for the film. Australian singer Kylie Minogue has been reportedly paid 1.5 million dollars to sing for Rahman, Antony D’Souza is to direct the film.

Hollywood Stars With Cellulite – What Do They Use?

Movie stories 1 Comment »
Sean Saunders asked:




It’s of no surprise that there are numerous Hollywood stars with cellulite problems. Some of the biggest names in Hollywood have had, and still do have, cellulite deposits on their body.

Which stars have cellulite? Truth be told, we don’t know. Why don’t we know? Because stars with cellulite take care of the problem before it can become world news. They don’t complain that they are “cursed” and whine about their problem day-in and day-out. Instead, they take the appropriate steps to remove cellulite from their bodies for good. What steps do these big-name stars take to get rid of cellulite? Well, you’re about to find out.

Common Misconceptions About Why There Aren’t Many Stars With Cellulite…

They spend a fortune on expensive remedies and cosmetic surgery.

False! Although they have plenty of money to take care of the problem through expensive remedies and cosmetic surgery, most big name Hollywood stars take care of cellulite through natural means. Why? Because natural remedies for cellulite don’t involve needles, injections, cutting, scraping, or anything painful or invasive. The remedies are simple to do and can be done at home without arising any suspicion that the person is plagued by cellulite.

They have their personal trainer whip them into shape.

False! Although many stars with cellulite have personal trainers that are at their every beck & call, they do not need them for cellulite removal methods. Why? Because cellulite isn’t normal fat that can be eliminated by doing rigorous exercise and weight training. Those activities may help to some degree, but they won’t eliminate the problem entirely.

They simply cover up their cellulite affected areas with make-up and high-priced cosmetics.

False! Make-up and cheap cosmetic products will only work at a glance; meaning if anyone gets a closer look, the jig will be up. These sort of topical lotions and creams may be good for a quick fix, but they are hardly a way to get rid of cellulite for good. Hollywood stars know this to be true, which is why they don’t resort to such cheap ploys.

Natural Cellulite Removal Techniques That Stars With Cellulite Commonly Use

Diet: A few simple changes in the diet can go a long way towards cellulite reduction. By eating less junk food, saturated fats, and processed foods, you will be able to cut back on the toxin & calorie intake that cellulite so greatly adores. Switch out those foods with healthier, more natural foods — such as fish & fish oils, fruits and vegetables (raw or steamed), beans & peas, low fat yogurt, lean cuts of meat, nuts, vegetable juice, etc. — and you will be able to stop cellulite accumulation in it’s tracks.

Creams: These anti-cellulite lotions are not to be confused with cheap cosmetics, as they are two completely different products. Creams made with natural, cellulite fighting ingredients can penetrate deep into the skin and attack cellulite head-on. Not only can they work to improve skin quality, but they can ensure that the skin is never affected by cellulite again.

Exercise: A bit of light exercise (20-25 minutes a day, 3-4 times per week) is all you need to increase circulation, blood flow, and muscle mass. With these 3 things increased, areas of the body become less stagnant and cellulite is slowly melted away as a result. Good exercises: running, jogging, brisk walking, swimming, biking, hiking, etc.

All of the stars with cellulite share a common goal; to be rid of cellulite as quickly and as easily as possible. By using some of the methods they use, you too can achieve that shame goal!

Mumbai, the metropolitan of imaginings, is the home for the Hindi Film Industry, commonly well-known by the name of Bollywood.

If we see the reality, Hindi films are generally ‘masala’ movies that encompasses all the elements like music, dance, drama, romance, violence etc and makes it a good entertainer. The different verbal communication of Hindi, Urdu and English are particularly frequent in Bollywood.

Collection of different ingredients of Life

Hollywood Stars’ Secrets to Staying and Looking Young

Movie stories Comments Off
Janet Martin asked:




After watching the Emmy’s, you are probably wondering how actresses over 50 years old are able to maintain their fabulous skin. In fact, some Hollywood A-listers look like they have not aged since the day they reached 30. Although these stars have all the money in the world to spend for skin care, there are things they do that even not-so-rich people like us can follow.

If you want to shed off 10 years from your face, then read on to learn about the secrets of A-list celebrities in keeping their healthy and youthful looking skin.

Don’t Over Tweeze Your Brows

If you want to look like you are snobbish and angry all the time, go ahead and make your brows as short and thin as you want. However, brows that look pencil thin make a person look angry and old. Besides, your eyebrows might no longer grow when you are over 50. So, what you can do is just pluck strays to make your brows look more defined and clean.

Maintain Good Posture

Women who sit and stand up straight look sexier and more confident, but those who slouch usually look unsure of themselves. Besides, when you slouch, the love handles on the sides of your body and belly will easily show. So make a conscious effort to sit and stand up straight.

Sleep Well At Night

Beauty sleep is called as such because it really assists in maintaining soft and beautiful skin. People who lose sleep usually have puffy eyes, dull complexion and saggy skin. So the next time you think about ditching sleep to finish the TV show you are watching, better think about your skin first.

Choose Cream Over Powder Makeups

If you already have fine lines and wrinkles, you better stay away from matte eye shadow or blush. The powder can settle between your wrinkles, highlighting the imperfections of your skin. It would be better to use cream makeup because they make your face and skin look plumper.

Whiten Your Teeth

When you were young, your teeth were probably pearly white. However, smoking and drinking coffee and soda can stain your teeth, making them look dingy and yellow. Nothing can make a person look older than stained teeth. So you better head to the dentist to have your teeth whitened.

Don’t Wear Matte Or Very Dark Lipstick Shade

Wearing dark shades of lipstick can also enhance the wrinkles and lines around your mouth. It will also highlight your discolored teeth. Light hues are better for older women because such colors will resemble your natural lip color. By the way, you should also stop lining your mouth with a lipliner that is darker than your skin tone; this practice is no longer popular these days.

Invest In All-Natural Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer

One thing that you should never forget is to put on a moisturizer that is made of ingredients that are all-natural. Even if you have no wrinkles yet, it may be wise to invest in an anti-wrinkle moisturizer if you are already over 40 years old. One moisturizer that you can use is Dermaxin.

God – One Chance in Indian Bollywood

Bham H asked:




Bollywood is famous for entertainment, show business, music, lights, camera and action.

Back in the 60′s and 70′s, Bollywood was not Bollywood, it was Indian Cinema. The popularity of films and film stars was for Indians and India only. A maximum of 10 to 20 films were released every year. Once the film was released, and if it was a hit, then it would be likely to run for 50 silver jubilee weeks or 100 golden jubilee weeks.

In the cities of Mumbai, you could say that few cinema houses are showing films, and once the film is released it stays for months. Advance booking was for months in advance, and if you wanted to watch the film on the day of your convenience, as many city visitors from the town would, you would have to pay three times more than the value of the original ticket price. We called it “buying in black”.

Small towns did not have many cinemas. One or two in the main city, perhaps. Small cinema halls round 30 people. New releases would take over a year to show in a small village, as it was a reel of film based on the size of the projector. Like I said, it could take over a year for a hit film to be shown in a village cinema, but the trailer of a film would be showing in advance, as many villagers and film lovers would display any film just to see the trailer of the next film.

Many village cinemas used to place images of the film on display with the title “future attraction coming soon”. Music cassettes were released well before, as the cinema and radio was the main source of Bollywood music. There was a weekly Wednesday evening radio show that was very popular, and you could only hear new film soundtracks and songs from new movies. I remember the name of the presenter: Amin Sayani. And if I met him tomorrow, I would not be able to recognize him as I have never seen him in my life, but it would only take a second to recognize him from his voice.

Now things have changed, and that includes myself. We no longer listen to the radio on Wednesday every week. We no longer go to the cinema and watch any film just to see the trailer of the next. Nobody bothers about up coming attractions.

Nowadays Indian cinema has turned into Bollywood. Every small village has a multiplex cinema with four to ten screens. In cities the majority of cinema houses are multiplexes, with ten to fifteen screens. Once new films are released, most of the screens will be showing them within weeks. Newly released hits will disappear from cinema, and it will take millions of dollars and rupees in no time.

Now Bollywood produces thousands of films a year. The viewers have expanded to include the world, and the film will be released in the world, on the same day. Millions will be spent on making the film, and huge amounts will be put into advertising and marketing. There will be fake and well paid film reviews, and reports to make the film a blockbuster posted on the net.

The success of Bollywood always depends on God. Or so you would think if you saw how many rich and famous film stars visit holy places on a regular basis. They visit Baba, Mandir, Masjid, Dargah, only to ask God for one thing… a hit… and then later… another hit.

This is Bollywood. Life changes over night. Kistmet (luck), badlata (change), every Friday you survive you are a hit. Then if you fall, you are shit. Bollywood is a dream. Keep it as a dream. Those who had one hit can soon become history. Those who are waiting for just one chance will have to go on doing their puppy dance. Bolly wood is nothing but sound… lights… camera… action… just sit back and enjoy the film.
