Rani Mukherjee

You have to give it to Salman Khan. His movie Wanted is running so successfully that his critics have now turned tail.

Sallu Bhai’s mass appeal is of a kind that, I am sure, is envied by the other two Khans: Aamir and Shah Rukh. He has proved beyond doubt that he is very much in business. And, at a time when such confirmation was very necessary. It was up against Dil Bole Hadippa at the halls, which has Shahid Kapoor still gloating over his Kaminey success and a very sexed up Rani Mukherjee.

This should send a message to Shahid who’s busy confusing himself to be Shah Rukh Khan already. And poor Rani, all that skin show came to naught. She had almost starved herself for over a year to wriggle into a bikini. We can’t even say better luck next time to you, Rani, and you know why.

Anyway, getting back to Salman dear, his all-out publicity efforts for Wanted paid off. And he celebrated in style, too, with each fly in Bollywood invited except for the people he loves to hate, namely SRK, the Bachchans, and Vivek Oberoi.

But he should do something about his ever-growing hate list. When Aamir and Shah Rukh have buried the hatchet and will soon work together in Danny Boyle’s next film, don’t you think Salman that you too could profit significantly by a similar collaboration? So how about forgiving and forgetting and moving on like a big-minded, successful superstar is expected to do?

Rani Mukherjee was asked if she was contemplating buying a stake in IPL teams but she refuses to follow the example of Shilpa, Priety and Juhi and buy an IPL team. She says she has no money. Well, that is not surprising. Her movies are not raking in too much moolah these days. Think Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic and the other one with Saif …… yeah Tara Rum Pum.

Well at least she plays a cricket buff in Dil Bole Hadippa.

She thinks she can’t take on such a big responsibility as owning an IPL team. The timid girl won’t venture into film production or direction either. Her movies aren’t getting rave reviews and she faces the risk of fading away soon if she doesn’t take a big chance at something important in her life.

What’s wrong with you Rani? Where’s that risk-taking passion and fire that wowed your fans in earlier times? Have you become so uninspired and bloated with earlier success that you’ve surrendered yourself to the lazy Bollywood comfort zone?

Perhaps this is why Aamir Khan does one movie a year, though it has its own risk of being seen too little in the public space.

What Aamir does is to put all his energy in one movie, and then promote it by fair means or foul. Remember how he took up the cudgels for the Narmada campaign overnight when Rang De Basanti was in the halls? Never mind that he was then the brand ambassador of Coca Cola, who was guzzling water in a Kerala village. And now he’s going about calling himself an idiot (his next movie is 3 Idiots) and referring to SRK as “too intelligent” in the same sentence, which hits the proverbial two birds with one stone.

But, let me not digress. Aamir’s strategy does work, and ‘Fahid‘ needs to learn, quickly. He’s blabbed about Kaminey so much, that the hype will take some time to die. Especially so because Kaminey is a forceful movie.

But Shahid doesn’t have time, Dil Bole Hadippa is breathing down his neck, and he quickly has to change avatars. Kaminey has been a huge hit and expectations are way too high from Shahid and his performance in his forthcoming movies will be gauged by the Kaminey meter.

Recently, he said somewhere that he’s surprised at not being linked with Rani Mukherjee, as he’s always being linked up with his co-stars. Take the cue, Shahid, we still haven’t gotten over the act you and Piggy Chops put up pre-Kaminey.

And once DBH is through, Chance Pe Dance will be on us soon enough. Shahid, we understand that Johnny-come-latelies like you need to cash in before the magic dies down, but audience fatigue and boredom  may set in sooner if you try to stuff yourself down our throats this way!

When Abhinav Singh and Aditya Chopra began work on Dil Bole Hadippa, I am sure they were starry eyed about the potential success of the newly acclaimed Shahid Kapoor and the much toned down and scantily dressed Rani Mukherji. There’s nothing wrong with being optimistic. However, things are not looking too great for the duo because the censor board has just slammed a U/A certificate on the movies.

Guess why?

According to the censor board, in their attempt to draw more crowds to their upcoming film, Aditya and Abhinav have notched up the oomph factor a little too much.

Of course, the world is not yet ready for Sherlyn Chopra and Rakhi Sawant together in one movie. No matter if their collective IQ is less than an eight years old’s, their ample, surgically-enhanced bosoms are enough to make people some people sweat profusely. Personally for me, I do not care much for either of them being there in the movie and I am sure, there are many others like me. Their presence somehow undermines the high-calibre production with sleaze and a cheap mass-marketing taint. But maybe, just maybe, Dil Bole Hadippa is not for people like you and me.

If you’re getting my drift, maybe you will not really line up outside multiplexes to waste hard earned money on this one! Next please!

Good God Sherlyn Chopra! You are so dumb, it brings me to tears. I know you’re starry eyed at your stints with some Bollywood biggies but give your mouth some rest and let your brains do some work for a change. Well, I am talking about Sherlyn’s new found love for ‘mentor’ Rani Mukherjee. Here’s what Sherlyn has to say about Rani while on the set of Dil Bole Hadippa.

She was so chilled out and didn’t make me feel that she was Rani Mukerji, the actress. She behaved just like a fellow actor who was enjoying. She used to take keen interest in my acting, in my close up shots. She would keep advising, Sherlyn you could do better.

Sherlyn… do you even know what you’re saying? Rani behaved like a fellow actor who was ‘enjoying’ because she is a fellow actor who was enjoying watching you make a fool of yourself! Did she watch you closely Sherlyn? Maybe that was because she was amused that all of that dumbness could fit into such a small head? Perhaps she was wondering if you had really done a boob-job or if some of your dumbness had overflowed the confines of your head and moved southwards to inflate your bosom.

Faced with the onslaught of the twenty-something brigade, another top actress bites the dust. This time it’s pretty, the dimpled lass- Preity Zinta. Poor Preity has no films in hand other than the mediocre Heaven And Earth. Even good friend Karan Johar, with whom she did Kal Ho Na Ho and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, has stopped casting her in his films. So what does an out of work, aging actress do? Elementary, my dear Watson. She simply jumps onto the item number bandwagon. Yes, Preity’s doing an item number in Salman Khan’s Main Aur Mrs Khanna. The bitter truth is that it’s a man’s world and Bollywood is a cruel extension of the truism. Grrr, it gets my blood to boiling point that the aging Khan Quartet and the equally aging Akshay Kumar are still going great guns, running around trees with girls half their age, while great actresses of the calibre of Rani Mukherjee, Preity Zinta and Bipasha Basu have fallen by the wayside. Oh, the injustice of it all…… Bollywood is still light years from Hollywood where older actresses like Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston get to sink their teeth into meaty roles. And till we get there, if we ever do, our actresses will have to make do with ‘Main Aayee Hoon UP Bihar Lootne’ and other nonsensical numbers……grrrrr!

Salman Khan detests ‘F’ words. He hates them with all his might.

It’s not the four letter variety that he hates though. It’s the seven letter one that’s spelt F-O-R-G-I-V-E. The other is F-O-R-G-E-T. And he hates to forgive and forget. Get on his wrong side and you’ve got yourself an enemy for life.

Vivek Oberoi learnt it the hard way after his olive branch was snubbed very publicly by Salman on stage at an awards function a few years back. Shah Rukh Khan is bearing the brunt of his wrath with Sallu Bhai leaving Aamir far behind in taking the choicest of pot shots at King Khan through the media. And now it’s Shahid Kapoor who’s at the receiving end.

Salman hasn’t forgiven Shahid for locking horns with him during the Rockstars international tour- a good three years ago. Neither has he forgotten. And the short-tempered Khan made his animosity plain when he snubbed Shahid on his show Dus Ka Dum in one of the latest episodes (yet to be aired).

According to insiders, Salman was extra warm to the other guest Rani Mukherjee while practically ignoring Shahid. Poor Shahid, who’s been so full of himself after the success of Kaminey, was left speechless and stunned. Phew!

Makes me wonder, is Salman getting crabby and vengeful in his old age? Or is he getting schizophrenic, imagining hostility where none exists? Oops, I better shut up before After Packup ends up on his hit (hate) list too, wot say?

Rani Mukherjee is on a cleavage-baring spree these days. First it was her bikini clad promos for Dil Bole Haddipa, then her appearance on Salman Khan’s Dus Ka Dum wearing a sexy, itsy-bitsy black number and now this – a photo shoot and cover pic, styled by Sabyasachi for the fashion glossy Hi Blitz.

Guess what Rani’s wearing? Ah, the teeniest weeniest bits of scraps just about covering her bountiful bosom-turned sexy cleavage! The tiny blouses that Rani is wearing would make even Rakhi Sawant and Mallika Sherawat of Tinsel Town turn a deep shade of red or envious green.

So finally the butter-won’t-melt-in-my-mouth-Rani has given in to the age old ruse of Bollywood heroines whose neck-lines plunge in direct proportion to their career path. And we all know where Rani’s career is headed. Gasp! She has no movie in hand after Dil Bole Haddipa!!! If this disturbing pattern continues and Rani’s career slips any lower, we could be in for quite a treat.

Until yesterday, Shahid was promoting Kaminey, so he was praising his one-time sweetie Priyanka. Now that the film is released and is doing well, suddenly there is role change for Shahid and he started over-complimenting Rani. Why? It is time to promote the next film so he needs to stir up some $peculation and go$$ip. This filmy people change their colors faster than a chameleon.
Ok, Rani has lost weight and is looking better than before. But, Rani was never a sizzling beauty.
So ple..aseee don’t tell us about Rani’s good looks. We are grown ups dude! We’re on to your hidden agenda. Isn’t it time you grew up as well choco boy?

Aditya Chopra’s leaving no stone unturned to ensure the success of his latest flick, Dil Bole Hadippa. He’s got everything in place – Stud Shahid, great music, OTT promos, new bikini babe Rani Mukherjee – the works.

But surprise, surprise! He’s run smack into the unlikeliest of hurdles…. of the celestial kind.

It seems Rani’s stars are quickly waning since all her films in the last two years have flopped. Think about Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Tara Rum Pum and Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic- all Yashraaj Films. Phew! That’s enough evidence to daunt even the staunchest of non-believers; and Aditya Baba is running scared.

How scared? Well, enough to reschedule the film’s release from August to September end. Supposedly, that’s when Rani’s truant stars are going to hit the UP button.

Yawn! The tamashas these filmwallahs create!
