On September 1 this year, the flick clashed at the BO with Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar's 'Shubh Mangal Saavdhan'.

One of the highest paid actor Akshay Kumar once worked for 18 months without salary!

The story starts when Akshay was working as chef in Hongkong, when his friend told him to try his luck in Bollywood because of his smart persona and Marshall Arts quality. So the Toilet Star flew from Hongkong to Mumbai. Akshay had to face many problems during the initial stage, he had to visit from Studio to studio and face failure at the end. In these struggling days, Akshay got a modelling assignment which was going to held in Banglore but his fate was not good and missed his flight. Later on Akshay’s friend told him to create his portfolio,so he decided to make one and reached the famous photographer Jayesh Seth.But the brilliant photographer denied to make Akshay’s portfolio inspite of high fees. Jayesh kept a condition that Akshay has to work under him as his assistant. After struggle and unpaid job for 18 months, Jay made portfolio of Akshay Kumar and introduced him to a producer named Pramod Chakravarti. Pramod was working on a film called Deedar and was searching for a new face, after the recommendation from the photographer Jay Sheth, Akshay on initial gave couple of flops. Later, after release of Khiladi the star never saw back and did his best to achieve this landmark.



KRK calls Sunny Deol’s ‘Poster Boys’ ‘A Whaiyaat Film’ Director Shreyas gives him in face!

There are things which are meant to be ignored, and then there are shitty things happening around, which irritates your soul to the extent, that you have no other option than to flush it down the drain. Well, what is the right way to deal with the shitty negativity, and trolling in the world of social media?
‘IGNORE!!!,’say the most.
But director and producer Shreyas Talpade has another way to deal with it. He prefers to give back in face.
Everything was going well, as Shreyas was celebrating the success of his recent film ‘Poster boys’ starring Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, and he himself.





Top class Wahiyat film  collected 1.80Cr on day1 n it's proof of 0 stardom of Deols n Chutiyapa direction of @shreyastalpade1



But then Good-for-nothing film critic Kamaal R. Khan tried to put him down by calling ‘Poster Boys’ a ‘Wahiyat’ film. He wrote on Twitter: “Top class Wahiyat film  collected 1.80Cr on day1 n it’s proof of 0 stardom of Deols n Chutiyapa direction of 


While some sane souls on Internet preferred to ignore him, Shreyas gave him back in the language he understands. His tweet proves that he believes in the philosophy that ‘Laato k bhoot baaton se nhi maantein’. 
Shreyas wrote: “Aukaat mein reh  chu**. Kabhi haath lagaa toh itni zor se patkungaa ki tappa khake chatt se lagega. Jai Maharashtra.”

And twitter went crazy after this fight, because who doesn’t love some masala on weekend.
Well, KRK needed this treatment. Well done Shreyas!



CRITIC'S RATING: 3.5/5
AVG READERS' RATING: 3.4/5
CAST: Arjun Rampal, Rajesh Shringarpure, Nishikant Kamat, Aishwarya Rajesh, Anand Ingale, Farhan Akhtar
DIRECTION: Ashim Ahluwalia
GENRE: Biopic
DURATION: 2 hours 15 minutes

DADDY STORY: Raised in Mumbai's Dagdi Chawl, which was home to the mill workers in the 70s, Arun Gulab Gawli(Arjun), a local went on to became a dreaded don and later a politician. Not to forget...Dawood Ibrahim's chief adversary. 

DADDY REVIEW: Mumbaikars are well-versed with the rise of Gawli, an out-of-work mill worker's son who resorted to extortion, gambling and murder to ultimately become the face of the underworld. For those who've tuned in late, this film serves as a refresher course on the life and times of the infamous gangs of Bombay. Arun, along with his two friends—Babu(Anand) and Rama(Rajesh), formed the BRA gang and reigned terror in Central Mumbai in the 70s-80s. Gawli's meteoric rise to the top also meant that he would eventually confront his contemporary, Dawood Ibrahim, referred to as Maqsood (Farhan) here.

Since most of this is documented, the screenplay of this biopic offers no surprises. At times, it even feels like you're being lead from one point to another, almost blindfolded. Ahluwalia deliberately adopts a flat narrative and takes the viewer through the dark, gritty world with minimum dramatization. As a result, there are fewer earpiercing emotional outbursts, but also fewer moments of dread. Once your eyes get adjusted to the drab chawls and dimly-lit gullies, where the gangs operate like ghosts, chased by just one greedy, over-ambitious cop, Vijaykar Nitin(Nishikant), you become complacent watching the crime patrol episode. The sepia-tone/minimum-colour frames stay muted and never leap at you. As a result, you don't feel the tension, even when some brutal killings play out. However, it is infuriating that most of the actors mumble their dialogue and you have to strain hard to hear their intention.

The first half touches on Gawli's growth as a don and the second half attempts to stay with his life as a family man and politician. Married to a Muslim girl, Zubeida (Aishwarya), his secular streak is subtely touched. Though he converts his wife to Asha, he is large-hearted enough to play a benefactor to both communities during the Mumbai riots. In fact, the maximum drama here is depicted through the protagonist Arjun's own performance graph. Besides obviously altering his features to match Gawli's prominent forehead and nose, the actor cleverly imbibes his grunt and soft-spoken singsong manner, lending complete credibility to what is a first-rate act from the actor. If you like crime drama, Daddy is bound to fuel your imagination. Gawli is a part of India's crime-history. And this is the closest you will come to 'encountering' him.

MAKE SOME NOISE FOR THE 'POSTER BOYS'

POSTER BOYS STORY:
 Set in a North Indian village, three distinct men - local goon Arjun (Shreyas), retired army officer Jagawar Chaudhry (Sunny) and school teacher Vinay (Bobby) are shocked to find themselves becoming the 'poster boys' of male sterilisation after their pictures randomly appear on a public service ad promoting vasectomy. They are soon subjected to public shaming. The three embark on a mission to fight the system that wrongly pronounced them 'sterile' without their consent or knowledge. The film is a Hindi remake of Sameer Patil's 2014 Marathi film Poshter Boyz. 

POSTER BOYS REVIEW: The best part about Shreyas Talpade's unsuspecting debut film as a director is the fact that he doesn't try too hard to make his characters look or sound funny. They are just common people stuck in an uncommon situation and must deal with it. Their ways to prove their innocence are as ineffective but that makes you identify with their trauma. What's also refreshing is Shreyas' decision to not follow the 'Bollywood comedy' template by making his sensitive subject seem frivolous. Of course there are enough silly metaphors that refer to the male reproductive tract but those can be overlooked, given the significance and sensitivity he lends to the topic otherwise. 

Credit also goes to the writers for localising the Hindi adaptation and comic punches well. But what pleasantly surprises you the most is the hilarious Deol brothers jugalbandi in a never-seen-before comic avatar. Shreyas extracts the best out of them and it is their comic timing and odd tributes to each other's previous hit films that amuse you the most. 

Ashwini Kalsekar and Talpade's sidekicks too deserve a special mention for cracking some quirky one liners. 

This dramedy that revolves around men who unknowingly promote 'Bina taka nasbandi operation' is a light-hearted and clever take on the population problem that plagues our nation.

'Kangana Ranaut LOVED Hrithik Roshan Deeply, But WON'T Take Him BACK'

What did you think of Kangana Ranaut when she exploded in Barkha Dutt's interview? You were present there...Yes, I was a privy to that interview. Well, Kangana had an opinion and she expressed it (pauses).

kangana ranaut prahlad kakkar and hrithik roshan

Go on...
The industry is trying to sideline Kangana, but she is refusing to be silenced. She is clearly sending out a message: Kya ukhad loge mera? I am a great actress. I have proved my talent. What you might do consequently does not matter to me. Don't want me to cast in your film? No problem, I have my set of financers who will back me.

kangana is clearly sending out a message kya ikhad loge mera

Kangana is going ballistic on her comments against Hrithik Roshan...
Hrithik sued her in court. That set her on fire. According to Hrithik, she is a psycho. 

That set her on fire. But it is possible. It can happen that one gets delusional in the movie world. 

However, one thing is certain: Kangana is a fabulous actress who has made it totally on her own. In our industry, mostly kisi na kisika sar par haath hota hi hai.  

Oh, she is such a gutsy woman, not scared of anybody, achche achche jhuk jaate hain. colleagues in industry can be very vindictive if they want. Look at what happened to Shiny Ahuja, and mind you life is very tough in Bollywood if you  are an outsider. Hats off to Kangana for holding her nerve and standing up without flinching an eyebrow.

hrithik roshan and wife sussanne khan

Sussanne Khan rose in Hrithik's defence and called Kangana as 'Evil'...
That's because she is Hrithik's former wife. Natural hai na?

Do you think that Kangana's outbursts are a strategy to promote her upcoming film, Simran?
Nobody bares his soul and makes a display of his/her personal life for publicising a film. Kangana has been a star after Queen and she does not need any validation.

A lot of people in the industry admire her guts but will never come out in the open because they're not ready to take on the bigwigs.

kangana ranaut had a scene together the whole of industry knows about it

You have been around for a long time and interacted with many celebrities. Anybody similar to Kangana? 
There was a Marathi actress Hansa Wadkar who scre***d everybody's life via her book Sangtye Aika and spelt out the names of the people she slept with. She even exposed who of them was good in bed and who wasn't. Smita Patil starrer Bhumika was based on Hansa's book.

What is your gut feeling? Did Kangana and Hrithik indeed have a scene?Of course they had one, and the industry knows about it.

Yeh sab hota rehta hai. People move on.

marathi actress hansa wadkar spelt out the name of people she slept with in her book sangtye aika

But Kangana hasn't...
Of course, she has. It is just that she is terribly upset and hurt as Hrithik was out to prove that she is mentally unstable. Anyway, I don't think that she will ever take Hrithik back now.

Reena Roy has been one of the most beautiful and happening Bollywood stars of yesteryear. Known for films like Nagin, Jaani Dushman, Kalicharan, Naseeb and many others, she was one of the highest paid actresses of that time.


Reena started her Bollywood career in 1972 after her film Nayi Duniya Naye Log opposite Danny Denzongpa got shelved. Her first film happened to be Zaroorat opposite Danny and another newcomer, Vijay Arora. The film got her some attention followed by some B Grade films.
Then in 1976, she worked in Subhash Ghai’s directorial debut Kalicharan starring Shatrughan Sinha opposite her. The film was a surprise Hit and gave her the much-needed break.
Her onscreen chemistry with Shatrughan was loved by the audience and as a result, they went on doing some more films together. However, it was not just the onscreen chemistry that was noticed, their offscreen relationship also made several tongues wagging.

Interestingly, there’s a much noticeable resemblance between Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter Sonakshi Sinha and Poonam Sinha.
In 1983, Reena Roy decided to quit films and married Pakistani cricketer Mohsin Khan. They couldn’t stay together for long though and got divorced.
She made a comeback in Bollywood in 1993 and was seen last in 2000 film Refugee. Several fans of her have been missing her since then. Here we bring you some photos of her. Have a look at how she used to look back then and now.
This is how she looked Then

This is indeed a drastic transformation. Don’t you think so?Source

But it all ended when Shatrughan Sinha married Poonam Sinha in 1981. In early 80’s she gave several big hits and entered the league of Top heroines.
