Gagan Malik and Neha Sargam the Royal Couple!!

That's it the Ramayana series on Zee TV as expected is becoming very very popular. we all remember the last time that the Ramayana was broadcast on the Indian TV on Doordarshan. Last time it was Arun Govil who played Ram and Deepika was playing Sita.  

Arun Govil and deepika 

After the enormous success of the last avatar, Zee TV lifted the glove and decided to produce a new avatar of the epic story of the Ramayana.

The cast wasn't clear for quite a long time Zee TV kept it on the dark but bow the show is on air for a while and the we all know who is the new Ram and the new Sita. 

Gagan Malik  

Is one of the most popular Indian Television Actor. Can you believe that Gagan had to beg for a roles in in the beging of his career? Any how when he started he played on Kumkum Ek Pyaara Sa Bandhan on star Plus then after few shows on different channels,he ultimately got to play the lead role in Zee's new serial, Saath Banaayenge Ek Aashiyaan. His most impotent practice to get in to Arun Govil shows as Ram, Gagan Malik had a role as the Buddha in the movie Siddharth -The Buddha. 

Neha Sargamis an Indian actress made her first entry to the Show Biz on show .[Chand Chupa Badal Mein. She always wanted to be a singer and has already auditioned twice for the Indian Idol. Neha Sargam graduated Advertisement and sales promotion and marketing from Patna University- That part of her life was certainly crucial to the role of Sita on the new Ramayana series:) . The great leap a head came when she was spotted by Sonali Bendre for her beautiful smile in the Indian Idol auditions from where her acting career took off. - the rest is all history since we all know what kind of future is waiting for those who play on the Ramayana!!

Hema Malini

Hema Malini

According to most people in India Hema Malini is the best actress ever seen on the big screen. She had rough completion but she made it eventually big time!
The top best five were :
1. Hema Malini
2. Kajol + Madhri Dixit
3. Katrina kaif
4. Rekha
5. Kareena Kapoor

Her first movie  Sapno Ka Saudagar was releasles on 1968 and she made so many movie thereafter and  played with all Bollywood's legends like Amitabh Bachchan Rajesh Khanna and more.

On the top of her remarkable acting skills she is an extraordinary singer ( check out the Video below!!)
So eventually, We are happy to know that the people of India truly appreciate such a great actress as Hema Malini and were not tempting to automatically vote to the sex bomb Katrina Kaif which was part of the most respected list. We are not suggesting what so ever that Hema Malini was not or still beautiful and sexy (even for her age) or on the other hand that Katrina kaif is lack with acting skills.

Anyhow, She is the right choice – Well done the people of India we got it big time now let's see what happens when it comes to the best actor or to the next election...

Katrina Kaif

The Ramayan on TV

The Ramayan is back

The never ending epic story of Ramayan is back to our lives on the small screen after almost 20 years break. We have seen it many times, we are celebrating our holidays based on the Ramayan, it is actually everywhere around us but still it is always sparks our curiosity and imagination and we crave to see more! 

Zee TV  Now launches a new production to tell the great tell of the Ramayan.  It is  a brand new avatar of Ramayan, made by the same enterprising individuals at Ramanand Sagar, the folks you brought you the previous edition of Ramayan in its most popular and renowned form on Doordarshan, in an era long gone by and past us now.

This is the time we get the new generation of the Ramyan- A completely fresh version of the story on Zee TV, coming to you every Sunday from August 12, 2012  at 11 am!

It will be a brand new meeting with all our beloved characters that we already know since the day we were born.

Check out the characterization on this particular version of the Ramayan seems to have been nothing short of perfect. For instance, we have almost definite news that Binny Sharma, seen on popular shows like Dance India Dance as well as Sanjog Se Bani Sangini is quite likely to play the role of Sita. At the same time, speculation is rife that we should see Neil Bhatt of Gulaal fame is likely to play the role of Laxman. Yes, the all important character of Ram seems to be a bit of a mystery in terms of the individual essaying the role, with some quarters suggesting that it might be anyone between Avinash Sachdev, Gagan Malik, as well as Aamir Dalvi who will play the role.

let the story begin! 

Jism 2

She is super sexy and deadly hot! She is well known in the entertainment industry (well if I must be specific I'd add to adult entertainment industry). Sunny Leone is now about to change it all by getting officially into the mainstream of Bollywood.

On Friday 3/8/12 the much awaited film 'Jism 2' will be released to the big screen and Sunny Leone career course will be determined.  It looks like she was very serious with the Bollywood business she was even learning Hindi in order to get her first impression the best it can be. Although many people in the show biz industry are very anxious to find out if Sunny Leone is actually capable to leverage her sexy appeal into actual acting, the tolerance for her first Bollywood experience might be very low. Not to mention the Indian audience tolerance … for ex-porn star trying to get in to the God's realm.

It was obvious that Pooja Bhatt the director of Jism 2 tried to make the most out of Sunny Leone Porn experience by taking movie to the very edge as far as erotic scenes are concerned.  It was so edgy that almost the film got banned by the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

Jism 2

But now this is water under the bridge because tomorrow the film will officially released and we will be able to shade light on some of the questions were posed during the whole time that Sunny Leone's name was attaced to Jism.

Coolie On Zee Cinema

Amitabh Bachchan 

On Sat 9/6 on Zee Cinema One of the best films ever will be podcast- Coolie.
the main role as you all know is Amitabh Bachchan who delivered fantastic acting performance! In addition to Amitabh Bachchan brilliant acting the Coolie will be remember for the movie where Big-B almost lost his life in one of the fight sequence. The impact on Amitabh Bachchan injury on the people was great, people went to the temples to have a prays for his sack and all the nation was worried that he might not get throw..


Eventually he made it as we all know and everybody got relief.
Amitabh bachchan resumed and the film shooting were completed. At this point i'd like to mention two points which distinguish Indian Cinema perception from the western cinema perception:


1. After the accident on the set Manmohan Desai, the director has decided to change the ending. The Original ending was that Iqbal Khan (Amitabh Bachchan) should die. However, since the injury event on the set that coused great concern among the Indian people the script has changed and he stayed a live.     


2. Since than every time the movie is getting to the particular sequence where Amitabh Bachchan was injured than the movie stops and a slide pop up to inform the audience that right here Amitabh bachchan almost got him self killed.


My question is have you ever encounter in a movie made in the west that the viewers are being notified (in the film itself) about some incidents happened behind the screens?




If you haven't the question is why? 

        

Euro Championship

Here is the answer for the question WatchIndia.TV posted on their Facebook account

Michel Platini

 It is Michel Platini, one of the greatest symbols of the French Football who scores the 119th-minute winner in the 3-2 semi-final victory against Portugal - one of the most famous goals in the history of the UEFA European Championship. The Game was on the Euro Championship 1984

KKR winning of the IPL

KKR&SRK

Now, as i write this post the celebrations in Eden Garden is going on. Mamta Banerjee , the Chief Minister of Bengal is welcoming the Knight Riders in their entrance to the "City Of Joy", Kolkata.

Bengali people are well known for being Sport lovers and for this day they have an amazing reason to celebrate after Kolkata Knight Riders has won the 2012 IPL.

Shah Rukh Khan who is the owner of the team at the moment is dancing on the stages where the Cup will be presented to the audience.

Kolkata which these days suffer from a non-stable economic situation has a one day relief. This fact might explain the over enthusiastic mode of the mass which want to take part in the celebrations. The spirits getting to high to be control and the situation is getting a bit chaotic and violent.
    
You could say that SRK stole some of the fame and glory meant for the players themselves but one must admit that SRK was totally committed  to the success of the team all along the way. He has contributed so much to the Cricket sport in India apart of his commitment for the Knight Riders.

Black Clouds over The Cricket skys

Yuvraj Singh 

Black clouds are floating above the Indian Cricket. Black clouds loaded with heavy rain ready to wash out the dirt that has been brutally entered  into the Indian Cricket aiming to demolish all those beauty things it represents. Just few weeks ago we all were witnessing one of the most incredible and heroic fights that a man can actually face with i.e fighting cancer. The last Mohican, on the cricket figures that is Yuvraj singh has exhibited all the qualities we’d expected from Sportsman to have.  It was an extraordinary example for a man who Overcoming  his darkest fears. It was a one man performance  of a man who never surrendered to  the fatigue enfolded in the illness which constantly ambush ,waiting for a tiny crack in optimism.

Yuvarj Singh showed us what a strength is all about – This is a cricketer!
Lately, we have started running after our tail –from one controversy straight to the other…
All of them manifest exactly the opposite of those qualities Yuvarj Singh had demonstrated in the most important challenge in his life! People selling games – comman (I’m getting pissed of here cos Yuvraj singh’s images running through my mind while I’m writing these lines)!!!

Those guys are Spitting all over the dignity sports Man must manifest as an example for others.
Not to mention the impact it has on all of us cricket fans now can’t anymore trust nothing!
Tomorrow the playoffs begin but who can guarantee that teams which qualified there truly got coz the effort and talents. The only image I can see in my mind now is some dark alley where men hiding their faces exchanging money from hand to hand some showings and threats followed by load laughs and then quiet again..in the alley. The day somebody “happens” to miss a shot right at the crucial moment of the match- wasn’t it something we saw often this IPL season?

You can accuse me of being paranoid but being paranoid doesn’t say that I’m wrong. I don’t want to make idealization to Yuvraj Singh but could you imagine him there on that alley?
Another black cloud floating over our cricket sky is the in the shape of Cricketers hanging out, parting swimming in alcohol pools and drugs without being judgmental it is just won’t appropriate  for sports man to keep this kind of lifestyle. Am I wrong? Trust me I’m not being naive many sportsmen are getting wild at nights – well it doesn’t make it right.

If it would be end up with parting you could say – that’s their thing – no one  will accuse them for being pro’s. but to get advantage of women bu using the status and power  that’s a spitting again on the faces of those who love cricket!

Well fox…let’s end in that optimist note and wish you all GREAT PLAYOFFS- hopefully SRK won’t act his way  inside the court  and make some high volume ultra-emotional  Devadas scenes towrds the judge, police, players audience..
