Bollywood Paradize

She is known as one of the best dancers in Bollywood and Shilpa Shetty certainly has left audiences gasping for more with her hot body and seductive dance moves — the last time being in Dostana. However, this glam girl does have a secret wish as a dancer that hasn’t been fulfilled. The actor wanted to do a mujra on screen much like those done by Rekha in Umrao Jaan.

“Shilpa is well known for her jhatkas and matkas and she recently revealed her secret desire in a TV reality talent show Zara Nachke Dikha. Apparently, the actress has attempted almost all dance forms but never got any offer to do a mujra despite being a trained and an acclaimed dancer,” says a source.
While judging a contestant’s performance on the iconic song Inhi Logo Ne, Shilpa couldn’t control her emotions and expressed that she always wanted to do a mujra in her career but never got the opportunity to do so. She not only showcased her passion towards the dance form but also gave few tips to the contestant on how to better the mujra. She is also hopeful that she might get the platform through the show for her wish to come true,” adds the insider.

The ‘Slumdog Milionaire’ fame Frida Pinto has shot her first sex scene. She has shot this sensual scene for her new flick ‘Immortal’, a new Greek mythology tale directed by Tarsem Singh, the man behind ‘The Fall and The Cell’.

Giving an inside report of the scene, Tarsem said, "Poor girl. It's the first time we have Freida Pintoand guest what, it's a sex scene. It's a delicate situation. We're trying to get all of the lights out, so we can create an intimate situation. Only 80 people watching you and 20 of them with video [cameras]!"

‘Immortal’ is a fantasy-action-drama which also stars Mickey Rourke, Henry Cavill.

Freida Pinto rose to fame after performing superbly well in her debut film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ as Latika. Pinto won a Screen Actors Guild award For Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a supporting role. Freida is an international face today and was signed for many overseas projects, she also posed for many famous magazine. She is dating her ‘Slumdog’ co-star Dev Patel.

A tobacco watchdog organisation has asked the health authorities to fine Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn for smoking in public while on the sets of his film Golmaal 3 in Goa.

In a complaint, on Wednesday, to the state tobacco control cell and the union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE) general secretary Shekhar Salkar said that Devgn, who was fined once for smoking in public in Chandigarh, deserved more stringent action as he was becoming a habitual offender of the 'no smoking in public' rule.

"This being the second violation by Ajay Devgn, we feel that the punishment given to such type of habitual law breakers is too meagre. In view of this, we strongly feel that the penalty under section 4 of the COPTA (Control of Tobacco Products Act) law for both one who violates the law and one who allows violating the law should be increased," Salkar said.

A local newspaper flashed photographs of Devgn smoking on the sets of Golmaal 3 on Tuesday with the film's director Rohit Shetty standing an arm's length away.

The general secretary of NOTE, which has in the past dragged Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan to court for directly or indirectly promoting smoking, has also said that habitual violators of the COPTA law should be jailed.

"Fine for the first offence should be Rs.500, for the second it should be raised to Rs.5,000 and for the third offence an imprisonment for a period of six months, in addition to a fine of Rs.5,000 should be imposed," Salkar said.

Devgn is the third Bollywood actor to be caught smoking in Goa this month.

Earlier this month, actors Tusshar Kapoor and Arshad Warsi were hauled up by NOTE for smoking during a film shoot in Margao, 35 kms from Panaji, Goa.

Raajneeti Singers: Antara Mitra, Mohit Chauhan, Shankar Mahadevan, Sonu Niigaam, Pronob Biswas, Hamsika Iyer, Swanand Kirkire, Aadesh Shrivastava, Shashi, Rosalie Nicholson and Kavita Seth

Music Director: Wayne Sharp

Lyricists: Gulzar, Sameer and Swanand Kirkire

Rating:***

American composer Wayne Sharp is not new to Bollywood. After composing for Prakash Jha's "Gangaajal" and "Apharan", the music director collaborates with Jha once again for "Raajneeti". The music is impressive, especially the semi-classical track "Mora piya".

The film that stars actors like Ajay Devgn, Katrina Kaif, Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal among others has five originals and three remixes.

The album opens with "Bheegi si bhaagi si", which has a pleasing, melodious prelude. Crooned by Antara Mitra and Mohit Chauhan, the love song is foot-tapping and engages the listener. Mohit's voice is apt for a song of this genre.

Next in line is the semi-classical "Mora piya", which is undoubtedly the best song of the soundtrack. It is nice to hear a song like this, particularly when numbers with a classical touch have become a rare sight in Bollywood films nowadays. The track has been effectively sung by Aadesh Shrivastava, Shashi and Rosalie Nicholson.

"Mora piya" has two more versions - the "Twilight Mix" and the "Trance Mix", the latter sung by Kavita Seth.

Then there is "Ishq barse" with Pronob Biswas, Hamsika Iyer and Swanand Kirkire behind the mike. This song has a folk and rustic touch with influences of classical music too in some parts. After a few minutes, the song picks up pace and becomes lively. While itsn't a bad track, it isn't brilliant either.

The song also has a remix version, which is average.

Finally there are two versions of a song called "Dhan dhan dharti" - one sung by Shankar Mahadevan and the other by Sonu Niigaam. The patriotic song has musical influences of Vande Mataram and both the versions are quite similar except for the diverse singing styles of the two singers. The song with Indo-Western touches is likley to make a mark too.

On the whole, the soundtrack of "Raajneeti" is a mixed bag with some brilliant compositions and some average numbers.

Raavan Beera Munda - Undisputed, Unlawful, Untamed (Abhishek Bachchan)

Dev Pratap Sharma - The Punisher, The Law, The Righteous (Vikram)

Ragini - Conscience, Beauty, Music (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan)

Synopsis:

TEN HEADS

TEN MINDS

A HUNDRED VOICES

ONE MAN

Did, such a man ever exist

Was' he Just a myth... or does he live even today...?

What is the line that divides Good from Evil..?

Do our understanding change when we look from the opponent's perspective...?

The bond between the hunter and the Hunted between the Captor and the Captive seems to be a bond of do or die... The tension between opposites often seems so electric, that it isolates them from the rest of the world, leaving just the two - All alone...

Are Ten Heads better then one...?

Is there a Ram inside Raavan?

And a Raavan Inside each of us??

RAAVAN is not a story. It is a world.

Dev falls in love with Ragini, a spunky classical dancer who is as unconventional as him.

They get married and he takes up his new post in Lal Maati, a small town in northern India. A town where the word of law is not the police but Beera, a tribal who has, over the years, shifted the power equation of the place from the ruling to the have- nots of the area.

Dev knows, that the key to bringing order to any place is to vanquish the big fish; in this case- Beera. In one stroke Dev manages to rip open Beera's world, and set in motion a chain of events which will claim lives, change fortunes. Beera, injured but enraged hits back starting a battle that draws Dev, Beera and Ragini into the jungle.

The jungle which is dense, confusing, scary. And in this journey they must comfort their own truth. A journey which will test their beliefs, convictions and emotions. Emotions, which are as scary and confusing as the forest.

The forest becomes the battleground. The battle between good and evil, between Dev, and Beera, between Ram and Raavan. But when the lines dividing good and evil are blurring fast whose side will you take.

When hate turns to love and the good start' looking evil, which side will you battle for? Love is a battle that nobody wins but everyone must fight. Even this Raavan.

Written and directed by Mani Ratnam, it stars Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vikram in the lead roles while Govinda, Ravi Kishan, Nikhil Dwivedi, Tejaswini Kolhapure and Priyamani play key supporting roles.

It has been simultaneously made in Tamil as RAAVANAN with a slightly different cast. Vikram, who plays Dev in Hindi version, plays Veera, a Naxalite leader (Ravana) in Tamil version, whereas Prithviraj plays a Police officer.

Abhishek Bachchan is there only in Hindi version; however Aishwarya Rai is there in both the versions. The film is also dubbed into Telugu and other regional languages.

Mani Ratnam has approached the story from the perspective of Veera (RAAVAN).

The music and lyrics of the movie are done by Oscar winners A. R. Rahman & Gulzar. The audio rights are with T- Series.

RAAVAN, which hits the screens in June 2010, is jointly distributed by Madras Talkies and Big Pictures.
