October 29 is the day when actor Vivek Oberoi will tie the knot with the Bangalore girl Priyanka Alva. He says his wedding would be a grand affair.

"The wedding will be grand but a very private affair followed by a reception in Mumbai with family and friends attending," Vivek told a news agency.

However, the groom-to-be has not even started doing shopping for his wedding.

"I am so preoccupied with Rakta Charitra that I did not do any shopping for my marriage. Now my family is taking care of that. I will soon be a married man but the feeling is yet to sink in," Vivek added.

Incidentally, Vivek is so tied up with the promotion of the film, that he'll also postpone his honeymoon. And when he explained his reasons for doing so to Priyanka, she did not complain.

"Priyanka has been very understanding and supportive. It is very unusual for a bride to be this practical and understanding about my career. She is really a lovely girl and means a lot to me. I thank Karnataka for giving me their most beautiful daughter," Vivek said.

Incidentally, when Vivek visited Bangalore to promote the film, he was referred to as Karnataka ka damaad.

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 08:12 AM PDT


Mallika Sherawat's film Hisss will finally release on Friday. Amidst much media hype and much ado about Mallika's naagin act, there are several facts that make this film promising.

First of all, it is not entirely a Bollywood project, as it is helmed by a Jennifer Lynch, a Hollywood director. The entire crew is a mix of Indians and westerners; in fact most technicians of the film are from Hollywood.

The special make-up and VFX (visual effects) work is done elaborately in the film to give life to the legend of snake-woman. Robert Kurtzman, a Hollywood FX expert travelled to India with his special team as the movie is entirely shot in India. His previous works include films like Predators, Vanilla Sky, Spy Kids, Hulk, etc. The list tells us how adept he is in creating unique creatures for big screen.

Is Kareena Kapoor’s Our 'BEBO' News for all the Wrong Reasons

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 08:06 AM PDT


Madhur Bhandarkar's ambitious project Heroine is in news for all the wrong reasons. Though the director was keen to work with Kareena Kapoor and the actress was also game for the project, there are apparently several matters that are yet to be settled.

Now, we hear that the actress is not so keen to be part of the project for which she was reportedly very excited earlier on. The story about Heroine which is doing the rounds nowadays is that Bebo is backing out from the project because she thinks that the film is very similar to Milan Luthria's The Dirty Picture which has Vidya Balan playing a siren from the south.

Bebo came to know about the script of the film because she is close to Tusshar Kapoor, and his sister Ekta Kapoor is producing Milan's film.

Now Bollywood's style diva wants to avoid any sort of comparisons with Vidya Balan, who has earned her stripes for giving stellar performances her last few films.

Heroine's story is about a top actress who is at a low phase of her career and fighting the fate on her own.

Jhootha Hi Sahi - Movie Review - cast and Crew

Posted: 22 Oct 2010 07:59 AM PDT


Many are the ways in which love stories can be told. Some - like Karan Johar - tell it with flourish, using extraordinary situations to tell a pretty ordinary tale and propping it up with generous jabs of melodrama, tear-shedding moments and, of course, many a musical crescendo to boot. Others - like Abbas Tyrewala - prefer the gentle thrum of a brewing romance to an out-and-out eruption of love. Jhootha Hi Sahi, Tyrewala's second directorial attempt and his wife Pakhi's first shot at scriptwriting and acting, is a pleasing drift from Bollywood staple. It's like a lulling boat ride on the sleeping Thames, with A R Rahman's lilting melodies warbling in the background.

John Abraham plays a bespectacled, bumbling geek Siddharth aka Sid, whose phone number is mistakenly printed on the brochure of a suicide helpline in London. Thanks to this mix-up, every night Sid is flooded with calls from guys waiting and wanting to jump from windows or pumping down a bottle of sleeping pills. Sid tries to dissuade them from doing so.

One night he gets a call from a girl Mishka (Pakhi) who's on the verge of ending her life after a bitter break-up with boyfriend (Madhavan). Sid persuades her to hang on to life and slowly a friendship brews between the two.

Trouble begins when Sid lies about himself and tells her that he's an adventurous guy who has scaled mountains, plumbed deep seas and what not, while in reality he's only seen it on National Geographic, that too in half sleep.

The real Sid is a wimp, who stammers, and cowers into a corner when faced with Mishka. So, should he reveal his true identity to her? Or should he play the double role - one as a phone friend in whom Mishka confides and the other as the bumbling Sid whom she grudgingly likes - all this without letting her know that both are the same person?
