Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar very supportive actors for lovely Katrina Kaif!
Bollywood3000 News: Cute Katrina Kaif, the reigning queen of Bollywood, who has gone from strength to strength with each of her flicks, is indebted to Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar for giving her their whole-hearted support during her nascent days.
She even hails them as her godfather and expresses her gratitude to the two stars who made her what she is today.
Speaking of her 20 year senior actor cum boyfriend Salman Khan, Kat says,
“Apart from guiding me, Salman had confidence in me. He is not the person to say that because he is friendly with you. He will say it genuinely.”
Showering credit to her favourite co-star Akshay Kumar, the ‘Rajneeti’ girl voices her thankfulness with the words,
“There are too many people whom I can call my godfather. I am grateful and indebted to them. Even Akshay Kumar took a risk in working with me initially. He did not know me at all. He was at crossroads of his career. When he did `Namastey London`, people thought he had gone insane. Nobody is going to damage or destroy himself to help somebody else. Salman and Akshay believed in me and that is my good fortune and destiny. Had those films failed, nobody could have done anything for me. I don`t think I would have got a second chance if the movies bombed,”
Some people, especially the die-hard fans of Aishwarya Rai, who also advocate themselves as anti-Katrina, feel that Kat is an ugly, manly gal with not a single acting bone in her body. They also accuse her of using Salman as a stepping stone to success and severely slash her as an arrogant person. However, I would beg to differ and say that she is one of the most committed and grounded actresses of our tinsel town.

Aishwarya, Deepika, Anushka, Barbara, Lara: whats the plan for heat up summer?
Bollywood3000 News: 2010 summer would be perhaps one of the hottest summers India has ever witnessed. And I am no weather expert but I can feel it & I can safely prophesy it.
And, please don’t blame Mr. Sun or don’t go knocking at the doors of the global warming officials coz they have nothing to do with this hot affair. I f you are sweating this sultry summer, then go scream at the Bollywood factory that is churning out some really hot dishes this summer draped in the skimpiest of clothes:
1. Aishwarya Rai- She isn’t donning another bikini a la ‘Dhoom 2’ but will heat up the silver screen by her passionate romance with South Indian actor Vikram in ‘Raavan’ that shall hit theatres on June 18. So what, if Abhishek Bachchan will miss out…
2. Barbara Mori- Hrithik Roshan alone can sell like a newly made hot cup of tea. But, it can’t get steamier when a super sexy Mexican belle joins him in an eyeball-popping passionate romance in ‘Kites’ that will fly in to the halls come May 21.
3. Anushka Sharma- If Shahid Kapoor is the reason why gals will go to watch ‘Badmaash Company’ (on 7th May), a yellow-bikini clad Anushka Sharma would be the best excuse for guys to check out the film. And, surely, they would be sweating profusely despite the theatres being an air-conditioned one.
4. Deepika Padukone, Jiah Khan and Lara Dutta- The terrific trio have already been unleashed on the cinemas and people are flocking in numbers to watch the film; not only coz of the rib-tickling comedy that the film promises but also for the inviting scene in which the 3 deliciously yummy women come out of the waters in seductive two-pieces.

The battle is amicably settled and the two take the evening forward among a thundering applause from the audience.

City of Gold Movie Reviews- Raw, gritty look at the life of Mumbai's mill workers in the 80s
Bollywood3000 Movie Reviews: City of Gold Movie Reviews-raw, gritty look at the life of Mumbai's mill workers in the 80s:
Cast: Seema Biswas, Karan Patel, Ankush Chowdhary, Satish Kaushik and Kashmira Shah
Director: Mahesh Manjrekar
There is no room for pretense in Mahesh Manjrekar's latest work. A raw, gritty look at the world of the ravaged, ‘City Of Gold’ is as powerful in portraying a bereft working class as ‘Molly Maguires’ was about Irish mine workers... Except for the fact that there is no room for pretty visuals in ‘City Of Gold’.
Manjrekar's chawl-life, captured on camera with merciless frankness by Ajit Reddy, is a bleak world of dreamers and losers who are often the one and the same. His heroes (if we may call the young characters that) are offered no hope of solace or redemption. This is the side of the slum that Danny Boyle missed when he made 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
'City Of Gold' is neither stylish nor swanky enough to attract elitist readings of poverty. Fiercely radical in thought and intensely socialistic in execution, the film plunges beneath the poverty line to emerge with characters whose despair is not an act for the camera. The sweat and grime, the corruption and crime are characters of their own in Manjrekar's chaotic world.
Mumbai never looked murkier and less inviting.
Taking a panoramic look at the lives of thousands of mill workers in Mumbai who went on an indefinite strike in 1982 is like trying to hold the ocean in a tea cup. Manjrekar, in what could easily be rated as his finest, most cogent work to date, does just that.
He holds a universe in the eye of the camera. It is a world of the doomed and damned, no frills attached.
His return to fine form and the enrapturing energy level that sweeps across a multitude of lives without trivialising any of the characters are reasons enough to celebrate the joys of neo-realistic cinema.
But wait... 'City Of Gold' not only marks the return of a storyteller who tells it like it is, without the comfort of shortcuts. It's also a macroscopic look at people who populate the fringes. Their silent protests are seldom heard in cinema.
Not for a second do we feel any comforting distance from the misery of Manjrekar's characters.
Manjrekar shoots his characters' emotions in tight, comprehensive close-ups but wastes no time shedding excessive tears over their lives. The editor (Sarvesh Parab) cuts the raw material with ruthless economy, leaving no room for humbug and certainly no space for commercial embellishments.
So the question, what happened to those thousands of mill workers who were overnight rendered bankrupt after the mills closed down? You will find some uncomfortable answers in 'City Of Gold'. But most of the time you will be faced with questions about the quality of life we choose to hand over to those who are economically and emotionally weak.
Would this film have worked without the actors who don't look like they are facing a camera? The whole batallion of characters flicker to life as though they were a part of an extended family shot by hidden cameras for a reality show.
Television actor Karan Patel as the youngest scion of Manjrekar's troubled family is a revelation. He portrays pain, humiliation, angst, compromise and anger with complete authority.

Except for the fact that there is no room for pretty visuals in ‘City Of Gold’.
Manjrekar's chawl-life, captured on camera with merciless frankness by Ajit Reddy, is a bleak world of dreamers and losers who are often the one and the same. His heroes (if we may call the young characters that) are offered no hope of solace or redemption. This is the side of the slum that Danny Boyle missed when he made 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
'City Of Gold' is neither stylish nor swanky enough to attract elitist readings of poverty. Fiercely radical in thought and intensely socialistic in execution, the film plunges beneath the poverty line to emerge with characters whose despair is not an act for the camera. The sweat and grime, the corruption and crime are characters of their own in Manjrekar's chaotic world.
Mumbai never looked murkier and less inviting.
Taking a panoramic look at the lives of thousands of mill workers in Mumbai who went on an indefinite strike in 1982 is like trying to hold the ocean in a tea cup. Manjrekar, in what could easily be rated as his finest, most cogent work to date, does just that.
He holds a universe in the eye of the camera. It is a world of the doomed and damned, no frills attached.
His return to fine form and the enrapturing energy level that sweeps across a multitude of lives without trivialising any of the characters are reasons enough to celebrate the joys of neo-realistic cinema.
But wait... 'City Of Gold' not only marks the return of a storyteller who tells it like it is, without the comfort of shortcuts. It's also a macroscopic look at people who populate the fringes. Their silent protests are seldom heard in cinema.
Not for a second do we feel any comforting distance from the misery of Manjrekar's characters.
Manjrekar shoots his characters' emotions in tight, comprehensive close-ups but wastes no time shedding excessive tears over their lives. The editor (Sarvesh Parab) cuts the raw material with ruthless economy, leaving no room for humbug and certainly no space for commercial embellishments.
So the question, what happened to those thousands of mill workers who were overnight rendered bankrupt after the mills closed down? You will find some uncomfortable answers in 'City Of Gold'. But most of the time you will be faced with questions about the quality of life we choose to hand over to those who are economically and emotionally weak.
Would this film have worked without the actors who don't look like they are facing a camera? The whole batallion of characters flicker to life as though they were a part of an extended family shot by hidden cameras for a reality show.
Television actor Karan Patel as the youngest scion of Manjrekar's troubled family is a revelation. He portrays pain, humiliation, angst, compromise and anger with complete authority.
Housefull the Movie Review: Lots of chuckles and smiles in this comic romp
Bollywood3000 Movie Reviews: Starring: Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Rampal, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan, Riteish Deshmukh
Directed by: Sajid Khan
This is a sly tongue firmly and stubbornly in cheek, slick and chic comedy about a loser, or a panauti - a word that recurs ad nauseum in this glorious gasbag of giggles, winks, nudges and innuendos packaged with such polished panache that you don't really care what the inter-relations in the parodic plot finally signify.
Maybe they signify nothing more than a numbing but pleasantly diverting nothingness. But who the heck cares, as long as the tumble of confusions generates a hilarious havoc.
'Housefull', as the title suggests, is chockful of characters who bump into one another and into hard surfaces (including the unresolved edges in the plot) without injury. It's all done in ricocheting rhythms of laughter that rises from the pit of the plot's belly and moves upwards towards us, sometimes missing its target.
More than the screenplay (Milap Zaveri, Sajid Khan, Vibha Singh) which moves helter-skelter in every direction away from the centre of the plot and just about succeeds in coming to a reasonably coherent conclusion, it is the bevy of characters who are positioned in the screenplay with a supreme sense of pyramidal aptness.
Every actor shines because he or she knows the idea is to have fun and to transmit that fun to the audience. It's the actors' responsibility to make the maze of inter-relations hold together. They succeed.
Yes, sometimes the actors seem to enjoy the comedy of energetic error more than we do. Beyond a point how many slap-happy slipping-on-the-floor nudge-nudge-wink-wink oops-we-did-it-again rolling of the eyes biting-of-the-tongue jokes can we take??
But somehow it all holds together. Like a jigsaw done in the pages of a comic book and then put on celluloid, 'Housefull' evokes smiles and chuckles in cramped and wide-open spaces.
There is a casino in London where our loser-hero is beckoned to stem losses, a casino waitress (Lara Dutta) whose traditional Gujarati father (Boman Irani, as confidently spontaneous as ever) has disowned her for eloping with a man of her choice, a stern government agent (Arjun Rampal, the only actor who doesn't get to smile in this chirpy chuckle-fest), a sexy widow (Lilette Dubey) and assorted characters who come and go in a whoosh of wacky misunderstandings, confused identity and half-resolved comic snarls.
Sajid Khan's earlier film 'Heyy Babyy' was a minty mix of mirth and maudlinism. 'Housefull' is a full-on flamboyant farce. Strangely there's a subtlety even tenderness at times, in the way Sajid Khan handles the satirical material centred on the theme of a loser who brings bad luck on himself so often that he begins to wonder if there's a method to the madness of his destiny.
Unlike most situational comedies 'Housefull' chooses the lower octaves of storytelling. The scale is pitched down. Even when the characters scream their lungs out we don't wince in discomfort. This is the most well-behaved comedy in recent times with an array of pert but low-key performances.
Stripped of all buffoonery Akshay Kumar does his most delicately balanced comic act ever. There's a mellow maturity to the way he balances farce with a more underplayed style of comedy. Riteish Deshmukh provides Akshay with the right cues. So do the rest of the actors. Among the three glamorous and sexy ladies Lara Dutta has the best comic timing. Mention must be made of Chunky Pandey who brings the roof down with his Italian-Punjabi accent and burlesque.
'Housefull' looks and feels right. The climax in 'Buckingham Palace' (replete with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles look-alikes) depends too closely on a literal outflow of laughter gas. But that's okay. Delicacy of comic presentation is not a claim that 'Housefull' makes. But moments of muffled tenderness just happen in the plot's confounded journey of a loser from no-love to know-love.

Kareena Kapoor, Saif or Bipasha: who's amoung the brand of mobile endorsement?
Bollywood3000 News: Rumours were abuzz that it was because of Kareena Kapoor that Bipasha Basu wasn’t signed for the Race sequel. The two actresses don’t share good vibes since the time they did the movie Ajnabee together. And now according to reports, Bipasha has been signed along with Saif Ali Khan to endorse a same brand of mobile.
Though for most of the endorsements, the golden couple of Saif-Kareena emerges as a natural favourite; this handset brand is in awe of Saif-Bipasha’s onscreen hot chemistry seen in ‘Race’. Now it’s learnt that the couple has already been signed as the brand ambassadors and will be seen together for an ad too.
As a source tells a daily, “Their on-screen sizzling chemistry seems to have impressed the brand. Looks like they have moved on, and are now interacting like mature adults.”
We love real jodi Saif-Kareena in Airtel ads; can’t say much about Saif-Bipasha.

Kareena Kapoor Saif Ali Khan: what about their proffessional and loving career?
Bollywood3000 News: Bollywood ex-Lovers Saif and Kareena did ‘Kurbaan’ that was a dud at the box office and wasn’t appreciated by the critics either. The simple fact is that Kareena on reel doesn’t look as good opposite Saif as she looks opposite Shahid or even Aamir.
But, love is prompting them to do more films together so that they may spend quality time with each other. On the other hand, Kareena’s biggest hit yet was opposite Shahid in ‘Jab We Met’ (not counting ‘3 Idiots’ as Kareena’s role was a minuscule one) but their mutual rivalry becomes a barrier for a film maker who wishes to re-create the magic of Aditya-Geet chemistry.
On the other hand, a balding Saif is more suited to do roles opposite other actresses but he, too, is keen to work only with Bebo. This is a tad senseless call from the couple as their respective careers are suffering a setback owing to their poor decision. A film called ‘Agent Vinod’ is in the pipeline that stars Saifeena but I don’t have any enthusiasm for its release and am not going to put my money on the film.
I don’t think Kareena is going to gain anything by doing such a film when she can do many other wonderful rom-coms opposite younger actors (counting Aamir who is ageing backwards) or can cement her position with women-centric roles. But, as is the saying, love is blind and it has ruined many a lives and history will vouch for that.

Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone in 2010!
Bollywood3000 News: We are nearly five months into the 2010 and while we have yet to see a film do exceptionally well at the box office, we have also yet to see our reigning queens take top slot on the charts. 2009 belonged to the likes of Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and so on. However, none of the above mentions and otherwise, have opened their accounts in 2010.
According to film critic Tarun Adarsh, this should be considered "the lull before the storm."
The "reigning" queens have much to offer in 2010 and additionally are at equal "par" with one another, "All of them have the same advantages and disadvantages," he claimed.
The ladies themselves are pretty secure and unfeathered by the competition. Katrina Kaif explained, "We actresses are all grown-ups. We don’t make our career decisions based on idle gossip." And yet, Kaif decided that she could not be in the same film that co-starred Priyanka Chopra and walked out. Of course as a rebuttal, Chopra has claimed nonstop that it was she who was the first choice for Tees Maar Khan and not Kaif. Besides Tees Maar Khan, Kaif will play a politician in Rajneeti which is set to release in June.
Chopra went on to claim that she is so "consumed" by work and does not care about any other actress’ career besides her own. "I have four films to complete by February 2011. And also one season of Khatron Ke Khiladi. So I have no time to pay attention to anyone’s career. I have so much on my own plate and gratefully so," she clarified. You will get to see P.C. in Anjaana Anjaani, Saat Khoon Maaf and as the host of this seasons Khatron Ke Khiladi.
Kareena Kapoor is another actress who has is not bothered by what the trade pundits claim. "People can keep assuming that I’m a girl in love and so I’m less inclined towards work. But that is far from true. I hold a position of power in the industry and I’m not giving it up for anyone or anything," she explained. Kapoor is currently working on Golmaal-3, RA-1 and Siddharth Malhotra’s StepMom remake all coming up in the coming year.
These very film gurus claim that 2010 belongs to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with over 300 crores being invested in her. Lots of Ash in 2010; she will be seen in Raavan, Action Replay and Guzaarish.
The so-called number game is one that should not be taken seriously. "I’m sometimes No 1, sometimes No 7 or sometimes No 10. The number game is just up to your last film. One film does well they prop you up there, one flops and they push you down. But for me it is about being consistent in my performance," explained Priyanka Chopra.
With all the ladies being outwardly politically correct and all of them claiming to be unmoved by the competition, the fact remains the same: they all want to be numero uno.
