Madhuri Dixit is to emerge with the Bachchans during the North American leg of The Unforgettable Tour that kicks off at The Rogers Centre in Toronto on July 18, 2008.
“For Madhuri, it’d be the easiest thing in the world for her to join the concerts in the US as she is based there,” revealed a close friend of the Bachchans .
Besides the Bachchans (Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai) other Bollywood faculty that will be a part of the whole expedition includes Bipasha Basu, Ritesh Deshmukh and the duo of Vishal-Shekhar.
Regardless of plunging the tour as a brain child of Amitabh Bachchan, Wizcraft, which is supervising the the tour, is not ready to jeopardy relying on just the Bachchans, Bipasha and Ritesh to drag in the crowds, sentient of their boundaries as live entertainers.
Other Bollywood stars who have been roped in to dapper up the tour contribution at other chosen places include Kareena’s beaus, Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan(past and present..lol..)

Only three contestants were left for the final up till yesterday for the Amul Star Voice of India, Chotte Ustad.
But during the latest non-telecast shoot, Prakriti Giri has been eliminated from Amul Star Voice of India-Chhote Ustaad. Everyone first deliberated that this 12-year-old girl from Darjeeling would tag along the route of Indian Idol 3 winner Prashant Tamang as she continued her balanced scramble in the show, making it to the top five. But dissimilar to Prashant, Prakriti failed to grasp enough votes from the audience which would have saved her from the elimination round. The elimination episode is yet to be telecast and will be aired this Friday.
While liked by the judges, Prakriti faced callous opponents in the form of Aishwarya from Ahmedabad and Anvesha Dutta from Kolkata. In all the voting episodes, Prakriti managed to confine sufficient amount of votes to stay in the battle. She also made a record of sorts by securing the highest number of votes in all the episodes.
Nevertheless, last week, Aishwarya beat her to the top smudge with the uppermost number of votes. I see Aishwarya as queen of the show. She knows how to catch the fancy of the crowd as she is a unadorned superb singer in accurate sagacity and consider it is all about promotion. If one is not marketing the capacity then I am afraid one might gap at the rear. Full marks to the Hon’ble judges, as they have made their target clear to all of us. Now Anwesha have to substantiate herself to choose the popular song. But in spite of all the dramas and political views, it is better if she ponder on her singing only. Adesh precisely said; mike & camera don’t lie & of course when Pritam said, Anwesha is Anwesha. I think it means Anwesha is a brand and a class apart.
Not only India but the total world is behind you to witness the historic moment when history will be created on the Small screen as our Anwesha will be crowned Chhote Ustaad on 5th April ’08.
I am sorry, Aishwariya, I don’t see you in the crowning glory. You lack behind something, which is beyond me and my Team to articulate. Actually we see Anwesha as a full package. She has unfussiness, beauty, exquisiteness, traits, endowment, down to earth outlook, tremendous throw of voice, appropriateness of her voice to many heroines and above all stupendous singing capabilities.
May I take this opportunity to request you all to kindly support Anwesha whole heartedly by sending maximum number of votes to her so as to enabling her winning this competition.
It becomes incumbent upon us to back and support right talent and that is only ANWESHA.

Sharukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai are getting together to act again after a long period of gap. This couple could not come togther after Devdas was due to the fact that Sallu bhai was very possessive of Aish.
Salman Khan had made this very clear on the sets of CHALTE CHALTE (2003), in which Ash was to act opposite Sharukh, but then due to a fight on the sets between Sallu and Sharukh, Ash could not star, and later Rani was chosen.
But at present everything is over between the old lovebirds. Today Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is enjoying the triumph of her first post marriage release, JODHAA AKBAR. She is also known to be “The first fully active actress after marriage!â€
The onscreen chemistry between SRK and Aish are noticeable, there is no two opinion about it. The fact that their pairing in films like, JOSH (2000), MOHABBATEIN (2000) and DEVDAS (2002) proved to be a big knock , cannot be shorn of.
The general view was that Aishwarya when Josh was released, Aish shared a better chemistry with SRK (who played her brother in the film) than with her love significance, Chandrachur Singh. Ash and Sharukh have that kind of appearance, which draws people to their films. Till today, their item number, ‘Ishq Kameena’ from SHAKTI -THE POWER (2002) is amazing.
Bachchan Bahu was asked if she was ready to work with Sharukh, she said that she is ready to work with him, provided that there is a proposal worthy of her consideration.
That is a statement worth to be listened by filmmakers.

Kangana Ranaut to shed her blouse
1. Kangana Ranaut is shedding her blouse in the upcoming movie’Fashion’. Earlier it was decided that a body double would do the sequence, but later Kangana herself decided to give the shot. The shot would resemble the ramp walk sequence of the Lakme Fashion show, in which model Carol Gracious dropped her blouse during the ramp walk and termed it as ‘wardrobe malfunction’. In this present film, Kangana is playing the role of a supermodel.
1. King Khan will shake his legs along with the top ten bahus of television in an event of Balaji Telefilms ‘Global Award Function’ in Mumbai. He is thrilled to do dance with the super beautiful bahus of small tube. The tune of the song will be Chake De India, but the wordings will be different. Ganesh Hegde is the choreographer of the dance show.
2. Deepika Podukone has started keeping a distance from her mentor Farah Khan. According to Farah Khan, when success reins someone, often this type of arrogance is inevitable to some people.But deepika should keep in mind that she got overnight stardom because of the film OSO and she should never forget her first tutor and mentor.
3. Akshey Khanna recently purchased a Reva car, because it has zero fuel emission. He wanted to be just eco-friendly.
5. Ashutosh Gowrikar’s ‘Jodha Akbar’ would be facing immense crisis from historians and critics, because according to them, Jodha was Akbar’s daughter in law not wife. Well, in that case the film will be in doldrums even before it release and AG will have to face the music.
6. Saif Ali Khan would anything for his ladylove. Recently he slashed his palm to prove that he will do anything for Kareena.
7. According to the latest research of Denmark Scientists, film stars Aishwarya Rai and Anjolina are related to each other from their forefathers side, that’s why they both have blue eyes. Researchers allege that people with the particular colour of blue in their eyes belong to one family of ancestors.
8. Fardeen Khan has been awarded drug detoxification programme by the Mumbai Police. Earlier in the year 2001, he was arrested red-handed when he was caught buying cocaine in Juhu.
9. King Khan will be seen in small tube very soon as he will be conducting the KBC new series in no matter of time.
10. Emraan Hashmi’s newly married life is on the rocks as he is dating a Pakistani actress Sana. They became very friendly during the shooting their film Jannat in Capetown. His wife is now contemplating whether she should leave Emraan or just give him another chance.

Hindi Movies top stars and Bollywood icons Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai sustain as further go-ahead role models for youngsters than share of the phenomenal figures from history, a wider see about by the University of Leicester suggests.
The reconnoitre in the University of Leicester Department of Media and Communication examines regard in celebrities and rumour about them. It was carried out by Charlotte De Backer who sought in her take up to get together influence in popular figure culture.
She said: “Life is about learning, gaining involvement and in that commotion we have a bias to light upon and describe the actions of others. Ideally we imitate what makes others moneymaking and ice ill-fated actions others have trailed (and paid for).
“In reality, race seem to have the liking to characterize the overall street tracing of massed grade or supplementary successful others.

Seven months suspicion wedlock, Bollywoord Queen and Hindi movies superstar Aishwarya recommends everybody to actualize married.
Its highly tough to articulate, settle it un-befriended in true a few sentences considering its obviously a very, extraordinarily agreeable and chipper predicament and I strongly recommend it, she said when asked about her feelings of being a married woman.
Well, its a foxy chapter in my proposition and its a unhinged standard of the journey. Id develop (it) to every one of you out here and I am blissfully happy. What more can one say, baby doll added.
Aishwarya and Abhishek high the knot in April, and pains analysts are the hottest and incomparable lucrative tag on of Bollywood.

The world is a global marketplace and where once India was faced with watching Hollywood reruns, Bollywood is now one of the largest most powerful motion picture production facilities in the world.
Statistics: 1000 Hindi-language films are produced every year. Ticket sales exceed 3.6 billion.
Hollywood has its stars, so too does Bollywood and while the world’s tabloids may focus on Britney Spears, Yana Gupta and Abhay Deol are not far behind with a relationship that was secret, but now has been made public.
Randeep Hooda and Sushmita Sen are rumored to be having secret meetings on horseback, but the rumors were denied… “Where do you hear all this? Its complete rubbish,” laughs Sushmita. Aishwarya Rai has no intentions of quitting movies simply because she is married; and is paired with Gerard Depardieu in the film Asterix at the Olympic Games.
Another of Bollywood’s babes Monalisa (real name Antara Biswas) continues to draw attention and gasps from men (and some women) across India as she posses in revealing photographs and videos. Talking of photoshoots Gauri Khan graces the cover of US magazine “Vogue” and tells all in an expo’se.
Deepika Padukone a beautiful Bollywood heartbreaker, makes movies (latest Om Shanti Om) and works toward a Bachelors degree at Indira Gandhi National Open University. Heartbreakers John Abraham and Bipasha Basu have exchanged rings and will be married soon. Bollywood may never be the same with these eligible Bollywood stars getting hitched.

The magnum opus, Jodhaa- Akbar, will now be released in April 2008
Video:
Wait, don’t blow the bugles yet. Its date of release has been announced so
often that yet
another postponement isn’t exactly surprising. The Mughal opus which was to be
released on
January 15 has been postponed to April. Not to worry, we’re talking April 2008.
Long wait
Perhaps the wait will make the heart grow fonder for Ashutosh Gowariker’s
Jodhaa-Akbar
featuring Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan in the eponymous roles. The film has
been so
painstakingly shot that its first cut clocked in at five-and-ahalf-hours. Now
all efforts are
being made to reduced the length to a more endurable three hours.
Meanwhile, many of the film’s supporting actors who gave months on end of their
dates for the
shooting schedules are simmering under their breath. More work, less pay Not
only were they
paid precious little money but had to forego other assignments - all in the hope
of getting
exposure on the Mughal-sized screen.
Yet, there is no denying that sometimes there are unavoidable delays. At
present, director
Gowariker is confined to bed because of a severe back ailment. He has been
advised to rest in
bed for two months, or so goes the trade talk. He is not taking phone calls or
responding to
SMSs.
First, the film produced by Gowariker with UTV was scheduled to be released
during the Diwali
season. It was then shifted to January 15 and then again to February 24.

Jodhaa Akbar all songs (Lyrics and Translation)
In lamho ke daaman mein (In the intimacy of these moments)
In lamho ke daaman mein, paakeza se rishtey hain
(In the intimacy of these moments, there are some pure relationships)
Koi kalma mohabbat ka, dohratay farishtay hain
(The angels are reiterating the spiritual song of love)
Khamosh si hain zameen, hairaan sa falak hain
(There is a silence in the land, the sky is amazed)
Ek noor hi noor sa ab aasaman talak hain
(There is a radiance right upto the skies)
Nagme hi nagme hain jaagti soti fizaon mein
(There is melody in the active and asleep surroundings)
Husn hain saari adaaon mein
(There is beauty in all your grace)
Ishq hain jaisi hawaon mein
(There is love in the air)
Kaisa yeh Ishq hain, kaisa yeh khwab hain
(What kind of love is this? What kind of dream is this?)
Kaise jazbaat ka umda sailaab hai
(What kind of a flood of emotions have gushed in?)
Din badley, raatein badli, baatein badli, jeene ke andaaz hi badle hain
(The days have changed, nights have changed, conversations changed, the mode of life has changed)
In lamho ke daman mein, pakeeza se rishtay hain
(In the intimacy of these moments, there are some pure relationships)
Koi kalma mohabbat ka, dohratay farishtay hain
(The angels are reiterating the spiritual songof love)
Jodha’s lines:
Hmmm, samay ne yeh kya kiya, ho…badal di hain kaya
(What has time done to us, it has changed my flesh/skin)
Tumhe maine pa liya, mujhe tumne paaya
(I have found you, you have found me)
Miley dekho aise hain hum, ke do sur ho jaise madham, koi zyaada na koi kum kisi raag mein
(We have met like as if two harmonies meet of a rythmn, neither high nor low)
Ke prem aag mein, jalte dono ki hai tan bhi hain man bhi, man bhi hain tan bhi
(As if in the flames of passion, both burn our body and soul, soul and body)
Akbar’s lines:
Mere khwabon ke is gulistaan mein, tumse hi to bahar chayee hain
(In the garden of my dreams/reverie, you have brought the beautiful springtime)
Phoolon mein rang mere they lekin, in mein khushboo tumhi se aayi hain
(The flowers have my colours, but the fragrance is from you)
Kyu hain yeh aarzoo, kyu hai yeh justju
(Why do these desires exist, why does this search lives on?)
Kyu dil bechain hain, kyu dil betaab hain
(Why is the heart so impatient, why is it so impulsive?)
Din badley, raatein badli, baatein badli, jeene ke andaaz hi badle hain
((The days have changed, nights have changed, conversations changed, the mode of life has changed)
In lamho ke daaman mein, paakeza se rishtey hain
(In the intimacy/companionship of these moments, there are some pure relationships)
Koi kalma mohabbat ka, dohratay farishtay hain…..
(The angels are reiterating the spiritual songof love)
p.s. Kalma means Beginning of a verse in Quran, implying a spiritual/holy song
Man Mohana (O lord Krishna)
Man mohana, man mohana
(O lord Krishna)
Kanha suno na, tum bin paaon kaise chain
(Oh lord Krishna listen, how do I find peace without you?)
Tarsoo tumhi ko din rain
(I crave for you day and night)
Chodke apne kashi mathura
(Leave your Kashi mathura behind)
Aake baso more nain
(And come and dwell in my eyes)
Tum bin paaon kaise chain
(How do I find peace without you?)
Tarsoo tumhi ko din rain
(I crave for you day and night)
Verse 1
Ik pal ujiyaara aaye, ik pal andhiyara chaye
(One instant its is brightness, the other moment its all darkness)
Man kyu na ghabraye, kaise na ghabraye
(Why wont the heart fear, how wouldn’t it be anxious)
Man jo koi doraha apni raho mein paaye
(When the mind is on the crossroads)
Koun disha jaaye? Tum bin koun samjhaye
(Which path to follow? Who other than you would explain?)
Raas rachaiyya vrindavan ke gokul ke vaasi
(The dancer, the one who resides in the vrindavan(Forest) of gokul)
Radha tumhri daasi
(Radha is your servant)
Darshan ko hai pyaasi
(Shes craving to see you)
Verse 2
Shyam salone nandlala Krishna banva ri
(The dark skinned, lovely , soulful Krishna)
Tumhri chab hai nyaari
(Your form is gorgeous)
Main to hoon tan man haari
(I have surrenderd my body and soul)
Man mohana man mohana
(O lord krishna. O lord Krishna)
Kanha suno na tum bin paaon kaise chain
(Oh lord listen, how do I find peace without you?)
Tarsoo tumhi ko din rain
(I crave for you day and night)
Verse 3
Jeevan ik nadiyaa hain, lehro lehro behti jaaye
(Life is a river, its waves flow on and on)
Is mein man ki naiyya doobey kabhi utar jaaye
(The heart’s ship sometimes gets drowned sometimes it is saved)
Tum na khevaiyya ho to koi tat kaise paaye
(If you are not the guide, then how will one reach their destination)
Majhdhaar behlaaye, toh tumri sharan aaye
(If the waves get turbulent, then we come in your refuge)
Main hoon tumhari, hain tumhara mera yeh jeevan
(Im yours, and my life is yours)
Tumko hi dekhoon main, dekhoon koi darpan
(I see only you in every reflection)
Bansi ban jaaongi, in hoton ki ho jaaongi
(I’ll become a flute and belong to these lips of yours)
In sapno ke chalkar hain mera man aangan
(In these dreams, I find the home of my heart)

2007 was a great year for the Hindi film industry. BestDesi team chooses top 10 films.
- This year Fresh new faces made an appearance, old talents resurfaced, and already successful actors moved out of their comfort zone.
- 2007 gave us Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor (both in Saawariya), Deepika Padukone (Om Shanti Om) and Darsheel Safary (Taare Zameen Par) – the bright new faces of tomorrow’s Bollywood.
- We saw Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan take on roles they’ve never done before: Shah Rukh giving up his mannerisms (in Chak De India!), Aamir becoming a director (in Taare Zameen Par).
- Madhuri Dixit and Govinda both made their comebacks, pleasing their huge fan followings no end.
2007’s ten best films, in no particular order:
- Gandhi, My Father
Cast: Akshaye Khanna, Bhoomika Chawla
Plot: The film focuses on Harilal, the son of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Its message: The father of the Indian nation failed as a father to his son.
Why it’s special: A very bold and sensitive storyline was taken forward by exceptional acting, particularly by Akshaye Khanna as the disturbed son of the Mahatma.
- Chak De India!
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Vidya Malvade etc.
Plot: A disgraced former Indian hockey captain bounces back to lead the women’s team to international victory, against all odds.
Why it’s special: Based on the real-life story of Mir Ranjan Negi, a former coach of the Indian women’s hockey team, the film saw Shah Rukh Khan rise spectacularly above his mannerisms. The film proved that a Hindi film can work without any singing around trees. It also helped rekindle public interest in the national sport of hockey.
- Om Shanti Om
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone etc.
Plot: Inspired by the Eighties classic Karz, the film revolves around revenge and re-incarnation, with Shah Rukh in a double role with a twist.
Why it’s special: The film dares to make fun of Seventies’ and Eighties’ Bollywood, including Big B, yet is always in good taste. Brilliant music, acting and costumes all around. Model Deepika makes a pretty good impression in her first film.
- Aaja Nachle
Cast: Madhuri Dixit, Akshaye Khanna, Kunal Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Konkona Sen Sharma
Plot: A dancer returns to her roots and forces her city to sit up and take notice.
Why it’s special: Madhuri Dixit’s comeback movie may have not done well in the box office, but it proved — again — that Madhuri is beautiful, talented and an exceptional dancer. The fairy-tale plot let the otherwise good movie down.
- Bhool Bhulaiya
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Shiney Ahuja
Plot: A psycho-thriller, the movie revolves around a “haunted” house, an ancient family and its many complications.
Why it’s special: Remake of a classic Malayalam film, Bhool Bhulaiya moves quickly with edge-of-seat action. Vidya Balan shines in a role of many shades.
- Guru
Cast: Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, R. Madhavan, Vidya Balan, Mithun Chakraborty
Plot: A rags-to-riches story, arguably inspired by the life of Indian tycoon Dhirubhai Ambani.
Why it’s special: A taut storyline that saw exceptional acting by its cast. The director dared to deglamorise Aishwarya and re-introduce Mithun, a senior actor languishing in B-grade movies.
- Partner
Cast: Salman Khan, Govinda, Lara Dutta, Katrina Kaif
Plot: A remake of Hitch, the story’s all about falling in love – and its many complications.
Why it’s special: A fun movie, it marks the re-entry of Govinda as an A-list actor with perfect comic timing.
- Taare Zameen Par
Cast: Aamir Khan, Darsheel Safary, Tanay Chheda, Tisca Chopra
Plot: A young boy with dyslexia grapples with life, until he meets his mentor — an art teacher also with dyslexia.
Why it’s special: “Perfectionist” Aamir Khan’s directorial debut, this film is exceptional in its story-telling. Truly sensitive, minus melodrama and highlighting an often-ignored condition, Taare may also have given Bollywood a new generation star, Darsheel, 11.
Big super flops
The year 2007 has also been marked by some spectacular flops, many of them from celebrated directors.
- Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s musical, Saawariya, did poorly at the box office, despite the much-hyped debut of star kids Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor; the film has a look alike of a ballet with only colours of blue.
- Pradip Sarkar’s Lagaa Chunari Mein Daag had a hackneyed storyline and crippling melodrama. The film died naturally, despite the presence of stars such as Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan.
- Another huge failure was Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag, a poorly-judged remake of Sholay – a top Bollywood film of all time. Even the presence of Amitabh Bachchan, this time as villain, failed to lift it.
