Touch me not pleassssFiled Under: Rakhi Sawant

Nana Patekar, on the sets of Horn Ok Pleassss , passed a critical statement on Tanushree’s outfit and she got annoyed. The result: Rakhi has replaced Tanushree Dutta

Desi windowslivewritertouchmenotpleassss-fafdrakhi Touch me not pleassss

Sarang, the Producer of the movie established the news and said, “Tanushree refused to attend the rehearsals and wanted to start shooting the song directly. She also insisted that the song should be picturised only on her.â€? 

Desi windowslivewritertouchmenotpleassss-fafdhorn-ok-pleassss Touch me not pleassss

But Tanushree trying to camouflage the issue said, “Yes, there was an issue on the sets, but I didn’t want to take this to the media. Is there anything wrong with that? But the electronic media was adamant on getting bytes from me and in the fracas, my car was damaged. Moreover, if I wanted to throw tantrums, I would have thrown them on the very first day and not waited for the last day of the shoot. I rehearsed for five days for the song and was well prepared for it.â€? 
A source close to the actress made known, “When the filmmakers had approached Tanushree for the item number, she had not only confirmed the design of her costume, but also the dance steps for the song. But she was shocked when she learnt that the dance involved intimate touching, which was not acceptable to her.â€? 
In the meantime, when asked about the confrontation, Rakhi said, “Rakesh Sarang felt that I was the right person for the song so I agreed to do it. I have great regard for Nana Patekar.�

Amul Star Voice of India, Chotte Ustad, Star PlusFiled Under: Amul SVOI, Amul Star Voice of India, Star Plus, Star Voice Of India

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.

Sanjay Dutt ties knot with Dilnasheen a.k.a. ManyataFiled Under: Bollywood, Sanjay

Sanjay Dutt tied the knot with Dilnasheen a.k.a Manyata according to the Hindu rituals on 11th February,2007 in Mumbai in one Manyata’s friend’s residence. Sunil Shetty did the job of her brother and did the kanyadan as none from the bride’s family were present. Even Sanjay’s sisters and daughter Trishala were indiscernible in the marriage. According to Priya Dutt, his sister, she was not aware of the marriage, she got the news via the media. According to the grapevine, Sanjay and Manyata had a court marriage on February 7th in Goa.

Desi windowslivewritersanjaydutttiesknotwithdilnasheen.manyata-f6e0sanjay-dutt-ties-knot-20 Sanjay Dutt ties knot with Dilnasheen a.k.a. Manyata

Now, Manyata’s previous husband Mr. Miraj has entered the scene in a cinematic comportment and claims that she was married to him on 5th April, 2003 in Oshiwala in Mumbai, her real name is Dilnasheen and they have a three year old son from their marriage, who is being brought up by her mother in Dubai and the attention-grabbing and exicting assert made by Mr Miraj is that Manyata is yet to divorce him. He is in possession of a Nikahnama issued by the Mumbai Shariat. If Manyata has not sought divorce from Miraj and is married now to Sanjay, a case of fidelity is probably to be filed against her.

A Few videos also included here…

It is also found that Mr. Miraj is presently in jail serving his term for prank calling female film stars and making indecent SMSs to various heroines and he claims that he used to exercise these activities at the behest of Manyata only.  Miraj claims that recently Sanjay Dutt used to confront him and used goondaism to grab Manyata from him by using his power and influence.

Well, if the accusations prepared by Miraj are exact and accurate, Sanjay Dutt who is already undergoing court case against him for possessing AK 57, is likely to countenance more quandary, trouble, hullabaloo, corrupt and immorality case too for convincingly marrying Dilnasheen a.k.a Manyata as she still stands married to Miraj and has not separated from him legally.

Meet Trishala(Sanjay Dutts’ only daughter)Filed Under: Pictures, Video, Videos

This beautiful daughter of actor Sanjay Dutt and Richa is raised in Queens, New York. She lost her mother when she was very young. Her mother succumbed to brain tumour. She lives with her maternal grandparents and aunties.

She is proud to be a part of the Dutt legacy. Her grandfather (the late Sunil Dutt) was a wonderful person and completely doted on Trishala. Sunil Dutt died 2 years back. Her grandmother (Nargis), who was absolutely gorgeous and had such a beautiful smile. Nargis died some 25 years ago due to cancer. Trishala love her movies and watch them all the time.

Trishla says her other aunts (Priya and Namrata) are also huge amusing to be with and she is also very close to her two cousins, Saachi and Siya (Namrata and Kumar Gaurav’s daughters). In India, she is very close to Ranbir and Riddhima Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor’s children) because Ranbir studied in the US and her aunt Enna was his custodian.

Trishala studied in a private school and according to her private school teachers were not actually manner to little kids. So when she was really tortured in such a school her parents immediately switched her to a public school. Trishla that was fantastic and she enjoyed her schooling

In US too she has her limits, she is only allowed to go out once a week with friends when college starts. She also have a 11 p.m. time limit, and occasionally if she ask satisfactorily and if she has been excellent, then her folks make advanced it a bit by half-an-hour.


Trishla determined to get a degree in law from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City, because she wanted to support herself with a degree in law, both for dad and for herself. She says even Sanjay Dutt too is happy with her decision.

Trishla’s eventual dream is to become honest lawyer and fight for her father. She says “my mouth would not stop rattling awaiting my aim had been heard, and until I get what I want. I would carry on skirmishing until I hear the reply my ears want to hear. They may say I’m a fighter as well, who is not afraid to say what is accurate. If I feel incredible can be ready, I will not snooze in anticipation unless it is done.�

On being asked about her fathers’ alleged marriage to Manyata, she said its her dad’s private life and she has nothing to do with it.
And so the fighter lives on….for her dad, for her family and for herself……

Planet Bollywood - Hits/Flops 2007Filed Under: Aaja Nachle, Aaja Nachle Mere Saath, Bollywood, Box Office, Om Shanthi Om

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 
  • 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!
  • 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 
  • 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 
      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
      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
    • 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
      • Desi partner-thumb Planet Bollywood - Hits/Flops 2007
        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
        • 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.

            Mallika pompously says she will only do leading roles hereafter???Filed Under: Bollywood

            Mallika Arora

             

            • Good news for all the boys  because Mallika Arora has decided to act in main roles only. She has decided to move away from the item girl image, which means that we get to see her on screen for a longer time? She will be enacting a full-length part for a leading lady. The name of the movie is not yet decided.
            • In the film she is paired opposite Arjun Rampal, who plays a DJ. Produced by Suneil Shetty, the film is based on the recent stories about banks forcefully extracting EMIs from the loan seekers. Sanjay Dutt enacts a major role in this film which is directed by debutant Saurabh Kabra.
            • Shooting is currently on for the film, which is expected to release around the middle of 2008. With the new year comes new bonanza’s
            • We hope that there may be too many takers of the movie too?
