Slumdog Millionaire became an instant hit, and well it deserved to be! And then two names, unheard of until the movie’s release, gained popularity - Freida Pinto and Dev Patel. The term “Who is Freida Pinto” has 9200000 search results on Google as on today. Not just that, people across the world want to know Freida Pinto’s age. Well then, here’s the info you were looking for:
Freida Pinto’s age: 25 years (birth date 18th October 18, 1984)
Is Freida dating Dev Patel? Looks like with this article.
Freida’s house: In Malad, Mumbai (well, quite close from my house)
Freida Pinto’s ads: DeBeers, Skoda Auto, L'Oreal, Wrigley's Chewing Gum, Airtel, Hutch (Vodafone)
Freida’s upcoming films: Miral, You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger
Chopra Helps Chopra: Can Priyanka help Uday?
Mera naam hai Priyanka, Priyanka Chopra!
Looks like this is what Piggy Chops might have said while trying to boost Uday Chopra’s career.
Aakhir ek Chopra hi doosre Chopra ke kaam aayegi… ya nahi aa paayegi ;)
So the duo is appearing together in Pyaar Impossible… no points for guessing why the movie is named so. I have this feeling that the movie will do just okay. And while there’s buzz that Priyanka is risking her career for Uday’s sake, I don’t think so. She has established herself as a talented actress and a not-yet-successful co-star definitely can’t ruin it.
Will Priyanka’s presence boost Uday’s career? Well, her presence will surely attract more audience. But then, Uday’s career will depend on how he performs in the movie. So if he does do well, we should give him the credit! Well, let’s wait and watch.
Pyaar Impossible Release Date: 8 January 2010
Zoobi Doobi – The making of the 3 Idiots song
The Zoobi Doobi song from the film 3 Idiots is good fun to hear and watch. I happened to watch the making of the Zoobi Doobi song and couldn’t resist sharing the video with you. Aamir and Kareena share a cool chemistry on the sets of 3 Idiots and perhaps that makes the song all the more exciting and bubby! Check it out here:
Who is Shraddha Kapoor, Bollywood newbie demanding Rs 1 crore?
I read the news about a Bollywood newbie Shraddha Kapoor demanding Rs 1 crore to act in Mahesh Bhatt camp’s new film Colors. Now that I had not heard about her until the news broke, I really wanted to know who this Shraddha Kapoor is.
Research on the Bollywood’s latest actress revealed that she has already been a part of the film Teen Patti (release date 12th February, 2010) starring Amitabh Bachchan, Ben Kingsley, R. Madhavan, Raima Sen.
Further research on the actress revealed that Shraddha Kapoor is Shakti Kapoor and Shivangi’s daughter. Aaaooo… interesting! By the way, Shivangi is the fine actress Padmini Kolhapure’s elder sister. And then Shakti Kapoor’s acting skills are undoubtedly unmatched. Now let’s see if Shraddha Kapoor will make her family proud. Her demands do show the actress is confident about her acting skills.
Shraddha Kapoor’s age: 20 years (birth date - 3 March 1989)

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Pregnant? Heavy Weight Rumor!
Aishwarya Rai rubbished the recent rumors that she is pregnant. She clarified that the rumors might have started after her latest Lux advertisement with husband Abhishek Bachchan in which the couple says, “Ek khush khabri hai”.
Well, what can the helpless media do? They need to have / create some gossip to survive. So when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had put on some weight, they assumed she is pregnant!
Well, what can the helpless media do? They need to have / create some gossip to survive. So when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had put on some weight, they assumed she is pregnant!
If a Bollywood actress gains weights before marriage, people criticize her tummy.But we must admit, Aishwarya looks gorgeous and glowing with that extra little weight!
But when a newly married actress gains weight, they say she’s gonna be a mummy!
Will Aishwarya, Jaya star in Maa?
I love the idea of Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan starring in Paa in a rare father-son, son-father style. I cannot wait to watch the movie now, especially after I went through the film's website. But now that it's all in the family, imagine what Jayaji and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan might plan for the next Women's Day:
Well, Maa might turn out as a super hit at box office. But I wonder if Aishwarya will carry Jayaji on her back the way Abhishek Bachchan is carrying Amitabh Bachchan for Paa. Though one thing is certain, Jaya Bachchan will have an advantage for not being as tall as Mr Amitabh. And then, she is such a fine actress!
And what could be next? Maata-Pita with all Big B, Jayaji, Abhishek and Aishwarya starring in the same film! Wow, now let's see who manages to cast the entire and the most-admired family in a film. Trust me, no one would want to miss it!
PS: This is my imagination running wild. Please don't take it seriously. In case you are a filmmaker and after reading this idea, you plan to actually make a film called Maa with Aishwarya and Jaya Bachchan, do give me the credit ;)
A mother-daughter, daughter-mother film Maa!

Katrina Kaif - Age No Bar
She is the most happening Bollywood actresses today. She is pretty and acts really well. We loved her in Namastey London, Race, New York and now in Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani. In her latest movie Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani, she surprises us with her amazing acting skills proving yet again that she is beauty with talent. Katrina and Ranbir Kapoor share an excellent onscreen chemistry.
But did you know Katrina Kaif's real age? Well, Katrina is just 25 years old! Yes, the Bollywood beauty was born 16 July 1984.
Kat started her modeling career when she was only fourteen years old. And then in 2003, she got her first Bollywood break in the film Boom. And since then, there has been no looking back. She has starred with Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Akshay Khanna, John Abraham and Ranbir Kapoor. Her upcoming movies are De Dana Dan and Rajneeti.
Can't believe Katrina Kaif has achieved so much in such little time, at such young age!

Mel Gibson might repent not drinking Complan
Call it the height of catching your attention but I could not resist the Complan bit. All right, I doubt if Mel Gibson might have even heard of Complan. But the fact is he is denied the role of James Bond in the next 007 movie because he is not tall enough!
Yes, the heartthrob of many across the world is all of 5' 9" (1.75 m). So legendary 007 producer Cubby Broccoli turned Gibson down as he is clear that Bond has to be tall.
Another observation: Broccoli will do you good only if you have Complan!
PS / Disclaimer: Complan guys aren't paying me to write this ;)

Kaminey Movie Review by critic Joginder Tuteja
Kaminey has received a 4-star rating by film critic Joginder Tuteja. He aptly says that the film stamps Shahid Kapoor's name in the list of top Bollywood performers.
Kaminey Movie Tickets - Are They Available?
Kaminey, ab tak yeh movie nahi dekhi?
Alright, I understand when my friends say this to me. I agree it's not very cool that I haven't watched Kaminey yet. It’s been a hectic schedule these days. But I finally plan to catch the Bollywood movie tonight.
I am sure Kaminey is not sleep inducing… at least the reviews of the movie guarantee that. And then there’s Shahid too! Hoping to get the movie tickets for a show tonight. Cinemax has better seating, Fame and Big Cinemas are okay. Let’s see where I reach!
Will review the movie tomorrow.

Funny Hindi Movie Names Ideas
I heard there’s a new Hindi movie by the name Pankh… meaning wings! May be the film really revolves around wings… okay I know it doesn’t. Maybe the film’s title is abstract… freedom from something etc. But seriously, Pankh made me think.
I browsed through the internet for Hindi movie titles based on names of body parts (human / animal) and this is what I found (along with literal meanings):
AANKHEN meaning Eyes
BAWRE NAIN meaning Crazy Eyes
DO AANKHEN BARA HATH meaning Two Eyes 12 Hands
DIL meaning Heart
DIL BHI TERA HUM BHI TERE meaning Heart Also Yours, Me Also Yours
DIL DEKE DEKHO meaning Give Heart And Then See (won’t u die after giving away your heart...)
DIL DIYA DARD LIYA meaning I Gave Heart And Took Pain (again, won’t u die after giving away your heart...)
DIL EK MANDIR meaning Heart Is A Temple
DIL HAI KI MAANTA NAHI meaning Heart Is Not Agreeing
DIL HI TO HAI meaning It’s Just A Heart
DIL-E-NADAN meaning Innocent Heart
DILWALE meaning Those With Heart
HAATH KI SAFAI meaning Cleaning Of Hands (actual meaning theft)
PANKH meaning Wings
PHIR WOHI DIL LAAYA HOON meaning I Have Brought The Same Heart Again
Sometimes I feel that the filmmakers really need to work on the film names. No offence to these movies though coz most of them, especially the old ones, really had a very appropriate title. Still… Pankh made me think. So I have come up with some funny movie name ideas to help out the filmmakers obsessed with movie titles based on body parts. Here’s a list:
• NAAK MEIN DUM
• KAAN… KHOL KE SUN
• HAATH DHOKE PAD GAYA PEECHE (HDPGP)
• UNGLI MAT KAR
• TAANG DI USNE JI
• GHUTNE… DIMAAG KAHAAN HAI?
• PET PE LAAT… RECESSION KA JHATKA
• PEETH PEECHE… THE GOSSIP
Psst… At least give me the credit if you steal these names… oops I mean ‘get inspired’!
For more serious film title ideas… just leave me a message!

Nilu Phule, Marathi actor, dies at the age of 80
Nilu Phule, veteran Marathi film and stage actor passed away on 13th July 2009. One of the finest Marathi actors, Nilu Phule succumbed to cancer of the oesophagus.
A versatile artiste, Phule had acted in around 130 films, including some Hindi movies, and a number of Marathi plays.

This demise is a huge loss to the Marathi film industry and theatre. I offer my condolences to Nilu Phule’s family.

Vikas Swarup's Book Q&A - Slumdog Millionaire's Foundation
As I look at life - Anuradha Khanna Pentapalli: Vikas Swarup's Book Q&A - Slumdog Millionaire's Foundation:
Slumdog Millionaire - Based on book Q&A written by Indian author Vikas Swarup.
It’s true I haven’t read the novel Q&A. I want to. I will. But I’ve watched the movie. And what a movie! Can’t watch it again because while it’s an amazing piece of work, while it’s a genius of a concept, while it shows us the reality… it makes me feel sad, really sad.
My mother in law wants to know about the movie, she woke up early in the morning to catch up with Slumdog Millionaire winning awards, but yet, she refuses to watch it. She can’t see little children suffer. No one can. Wonder how some inhumane ‘human beings’ can do such evil deeds as showcased in the film or I would rather say brought to the world’s knowledge by the author Vikas Swarup.
While the movie is winning praise all over, somehow I feel a gap. We hear all names – Danny Boyle, A R Rahman, Anil Kapoor, Gulzar, Loveleen Tandan, Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Irrfan Khan… truly deserving! But somehow Vikas Swarup’s name is not echoed a lot. Wonder why in the acceptance speeches, people don’t mention the writer’s name! Come on, how would you have made / thought of the movie if you hadn’t read the story in the Q&A book?
Let’s take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Vikas Swarup without whom the movie wouldn’t have been thought about!"
