How lucky is Parineeti Chopra…!?

My article on http://chakdeindia.com.au/

Parineeti is quite the talk-of-the-town these days. She’s just one movie old and already luxuriating the life of glamour world. Her debut film, Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl [a Yashraj Production] did exceptionally well; however, Parineeti got all the accolades for her performance. She is fun to watch in reel life. Her fresh face and jaunty acting skills perfectly wooed the audience. She bagged almost all the awards for the most promising debutant of 2011. Not everyone comes out to be this lucky in Bollywood. People have to struggle constantly to get even the minutest role in a movie. But, for Parineeti it seems that her last name did the magic. She’s related to Priyanka Chopra and one has to be either born in film fraternity or related to a megastar to make it big in Mumbai.

Parineeti’s next venture ‘Ishqzaade’ has come out to be a decent hit. Because of her fantastic performance in her debut, audience was eager to watch her next dhamaka. She is surely one of the few fortunate girls who experience success in such a concise time. In less than six months, she emerged as a super star in the industry. Parineeti clenched a couple more Yashraj Films in her kitty. Without a doubt, she’s one of the darling choices of Yashraj Production House. Let’s wish all the best to PC for her future endeavors!

Vicky ‘Sperm Donor’ Arora

What a dhamakedaar sperm! Oh, I meant movie! From the start till the end; it’s all about Sperm and only Sperm. Vicky Arora [Ayushmann Khurana] is a sperm donor and living his life without any stress. The movie starts with Vicky’s widowed mother Mrs. Arora; who owns a small beauty parlor in Lajpat Nagar. She’s the typical loud, over-the-top, Punjabi mother who absolutely loves to irritate her son and mother-in-law at all times. Vicky’s grandmother is the only modern character you’ll find in the movie. It’s a complete shock to hear all the hi-fi English vinglish from her mouth.

Vicky plays a vella guy running around on Delhi streets without a care in the world. Until, Dr. Chadda; played by none-other-than Annu Kapoor spots him and declares him as the ‘Alexander of Sperms’. Dr. Chadda owns a fertility clinic and desperately seeks a sperm donor. It’s a treat to eyes and ears to see how Dr. Chadda convinces Vicky that, ‘donating sperm is indeed a good deed.’

On the other side, Vicky falls for Ashima Roy [Yami Gautam]. He’s so madly and deeply in love with her and tried every delhiwala trick to woo her. The chemistry between the two is spot on. The flirting almost gives you goose bumps because every guy and girl has been through such period in their life. Finally, they get married but the secret of donating sperm is kept under wraps.

The script of the film is marvelous. There wasn’t even one dull moment. From Lajpat Nagar roads to saas-bahu’s tu tu main main to typical Punjabi family drama; it’s a full on power packed movie. Ayushmann proved his presence in the industry. He’s a natural actor with endless talent. One doesn’t have to be born in a Bollywood khandaan; one should only have ability to act. Another special round of applause goes to Annu Kapoor. He’s the masala of this movie. According to him, this entire world is a sperm. And one doesn’t get bored to hear this word over and over. Every character played their part effortlessly.

It’s a super hit sperm, guys! Go for it…

Once again…it’s IPL time!

The fever began a couple of days ago. The show business is back. IPL is a much awaited event in India and abroad as well. In past couple days, my twitter account is getting bombarded with tweets dedicated to IPL. Once again all the public is glued to their televisions day in day out. And some will be constantly keeping an eye on the scoreboard online.

IPL is becoming colossal with each passing year. Business tycoons and mega Bollywood stars investing crore’s in all the teams. Usually I find Bollywood stars promoting their movies or partying hard. However, these days you find them linking up with the Cricket world. The top notch actresses want to perform at the opening ceremonies. They want to be seen in all the matches because that’s where the media is… Apparently if you are a mega-star and not associated with IPL then you ain’t that famous!

The show business has even allured our well talented and level headed cricketers to get side-tracked. Back in the days, it wasn’t common to hear gossip between actors and cricketers. But, IPL broke the curse. Cricket is already a much hyped up sport in our country. And post IPL it became all glitzy and glammy. Thanks to our Bollywood stars who want to be seen around in all the matches. Well, I’m anxiously waiting to hear all the stories of our IPL this year. Every year there is some sort of ghotala or gossip conjugated with this business. I wonder what’s coming up next…

Tip: The simple mantra actresses can choose to get famous is ‘to be seen with Cricketers when the media is around’….and it’ll hit the front page!

I luv hate stories/I hate luv stories…

Firstly, what’s the deal with the most ridiculous title? Is it just me or is everyone baffled with it? Well, horrendous script to begin with. I’m not sure how Karan Johar got convinced after reading the fabricated manuscript? Sonam cannot act! No questions, no doubts…! It was clearly portrayed in the film. She claims to be a diva only because of the ‘Kapoor’ surname else she has no talent of her own. The second she started spilling words out of her mouth, I knew I’ll only fancy her personal attire. If my memory is sharp then I think she’s got Delhi Belly in her kitty and then the road closes for her. Unless dumb directors like Karan Johar desperately want to direct some baloney w/ Sonam Kapoor.

Imran on the other hand is trying too hard to become like his ‘mamu’. Well, my advice to him would be ‘don’t try at all.’ The guy definitely has a cute look reserved only for teenagers. The same teenagers who spell love as luv… however, that’s it! Imran has a long road ahead of him. Also, he can stop declaring to the entire world that he’s ‘taken’, no girl is willing to marry him, it’s just a crush for the time being. The day he turns 30, teenagers will hunt for some other cute, adorable face.

About the movie, like I said horrendous script. Not a single character was pro at his/her job. Even the luv scenes were not convincing in any way, I think I cracked up on a few… Infact, each time Imran spoke to his mom, I knew she had to be some high profile actress ‘BUT’, it was Anju Mahendru. My goodness, I don't know what went wrong with her? She carries her role very responsibly. However, even she fell flat the minute I glanced at the ‘wig’. Yeah, even an 8 yr old could have pointed that out! The film was clearly saved by the songs. After Rajneeti, a huge disappointment from Raavan and IHLS… ughhh!!! Oh well, Bollywood is not famous for giving blockbusters in a row. The movie was conclusively rubbish; at least it could have been entertainingly rubbish!

Bollywood ka tadka…!

Our Bollywood Industry produces about a thousand films in a year. A common man’s best time-pass revolves around B’wood films. Till date each generation have been huge fan of our famous, charismatic, alluring, and glitzy actors.

Let’s start with none-other-than; yes we all can think of only one name: Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. Of course, who does not know this personality? His portrayal, individuality, character, posture, peculiarity is extremely noteworthy. He’s been the face of Bollywood from the past 4 decades. Jaanta goes ga-ga on his bollywood ishtyle. Literally! And I bet the coming generation will also hum his songs…dekha ek baar to yeh silsiley hue etc, etc. And guys don’t forget our Dharam paaji. Gone were the days! Ahhh, he’s got vogue of enticement. No wonder, Hema Malini went fida on him. We could see what she saw in him [wink, wink]. The loop cannot complete without Vinod Khanna, Rajesh Khanna [good-looking], Jeetendar [weird looks and style], Rishi Kapoor [the only guy spared from controversy], Mithun Da [the pelvic moves] and our very own chahe mujhe koi junglee kahe, Shammi Kapoor. Yahoooo…!

Moving on to GenX now…The list starts with Hrithik Roshan, the heartthrob of millions. His macho looks and suave personality electrifies each hormone. And mind you – the guy got the best body in our industry followed by the shareef-est guy; Abhishek Bachchan. Seems like the Jr. AB is still under curtain. The man needs to flash and flaunt his talent. I guess that department is only held by his dear wifey. Since we are on Ash’s subject, we cannot bypass Sallu’s topic. The hunk! However, an unstable man, not-so-loyal, I guess. SRK and Saif are no more in the picture. Them’ two are too busy playing homos, which I kind a think they are. Yeah, laugh it up! SRK was in full hype in his DTPH, DDLJ, KKHH days. Definitely the lover boy of every girl. And now, I’m eagerly waiting to talk about this one dude – Akshay Kumar. Gosh, flashback a bit, fall into the teenage mode, and mesmerize the days of Khiladi No. 1. Yup, the hormones start to kick in. For me AK steals the show. Period. Tall, dark, handsome – a complete package. Lastly, Aamir Khan, one word – perfectionist. End of story.

Switching gears…Gossip time! First and foremost, Aishwariya Rai Bachchan. Even though she’s my least favorite, the lady is capable of anything and everything. Miss World Pageant, debut w/ Mani Ratnam’s Iruvar, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Chokher Bali, Raincoat, Provoked, Jhodhaa Akbar, Devdas, Cannes festival, Hollywood, The Letterman Show. My Lord, name the thing and she has done it all. Ms. Rai is the face of Bollywood in West. And lastly, stole the most eligible bachelor: AB Baby… Now, that’s a success story! Oh well, enough about Bachchan’s. Few respected names come to my mind such as Madhuri Dixit [dancing diva], Tabu [innocence personified], Karishma Kapoor [the bubbly one], Priyanka Chopra [sky is the limit for this girl], Katrina Kaif [Barbie doll], Kareena Kapoor [the bitch]. After all, a bitch is necessary in all fields. Apologizes for profanity!

This is our B’town. Without these names, our life is quite monotonous. Oh, speaking of b’town, eagerly waiting for Rajneeti and Raavan. Picture, abhi baaki hai mere dost…!
