Khoobsurat is Disney’s latest royal romantic comedy in collaboration with Anil Kapoor Films Co and Utv Motion Pictures. It is a remake of yesteryear Hrishikesh Mukharjee hit of the same name and stars Sonam Kapoor, Kiron Kher and Ratna Pathak in pivotal roles. It also marks the Bollywood debut of Pakistani heavyweight Fawad Khan.

Khoobsurat features music by Sneh Khalwalkar (Gangs of Wasseypur), Badhshah and Armaan Malik with vocals from Sunidhi Chauhan amongst others.

The album begins with Engine Ki Seeti, a Rajastani folksy fusion dance number by Sunidhi Chauhan and Resmi Sateesh. It is a catchy number and Ikram Rajasthani’s quirky lyrics, paired with Resmi and Sunidhi’s enthusiastic renditions, take you on a wacky ride (pun intended). Khanwalker commands the brilliant amalgamation of musical arrangements.

Badshah’s Abhi To Party Shuru Huyee Hai shares a lot of similarities with former collaboration partner Yo Yo Honey Singh.

Bollywood fans have long hoped to see the handsome hero with romantic eyes, Abhishek Bachchan paired with the bubbly and most popular heroine of B town, Kareena Kapoor. Well, the wait is over as Abhishek and Kareena will work together in Bhushan Kumar's 'Mere Apne'. The couple debuted together in Refugee but since then, appeared in only one movie: Main prem ki diwani hoon in 2003. In the same year, Abhishek who had been engaged to Kareena’s sister Karishma Kapoor for four months broke it off. The result was a long standing feud between Abhi and Bebo which showed little signs of abetting with time. However, it now...

The coming Friday will witness the release of Alt Entertainment's Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum and the Manish Manikpuri directed Aalaap. While the front runner is going to be the adult comedy, Kskhh, but the discerning audience will definitely appreciate the Manish Manikpuri directed Aalaap. All the three releases of last week, the Suneil Shetty, Rajpal Yadav and Udita Goswami starrer Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai, the internationally acclaimed Gattu and Orange Canvas' Challo Dri...

As expected, all the three new releases of the week, Gattu, Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai and Challo Driver have opened with dull to dismal collections. The audience has instead preferred the Hollywood venture, The Dark Knight Rises, the original (English) version of which has opened to a bumper response in Metros and 'A' centers. Meanwhile after a good opening weekend of 35 crore, last Friday's Homi Adajania directed Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Diana Penty starrer...

The coming Friday will witness the release of the Suneil Shetty, Rajpal Yadav and Udita Goswami starrer Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai, the internationally acclaimed Children's Film Society-India venture Gattu and also the Zakir Husain starrer Overtime. It is obvious that none of the new releases will make any impact, barring to an extent Gattu, and too with a section of the niche audience. Last week's premier release was Illuminati Films' Homi Adajania directed Saif, Deepika an...

Mumbai, July 2: Actor Suniel Shetty, who plays a film director in his next release "Mere Dost Picture Abhi Baki Hai", says he has no plans to go behind the camera in real life, especially after his unsuccessful stint as a producer.

"I didn't become a good, successful producer... and a director, I don't think so," the 50-year-old actor said here.

"I am doing a lot of things. Direction is a very focused job. He (a director) is not just concerned with the.

Since the day Dharma Productions’ unveiled the first look of their 2012 remake of yesteryear hit Agneepath, one thing was for sure – that the film will be devoid of Dharma Productions’ trademark extravagant song sequences. That is, stars lavishly dressed in Manish Malhotras dancing to Farah Khan’s directions with 1,000,000 extras in the background to a familiar tune claiming to be new.

Accordingly, audiences and critics alike had no hopes or expectations of a typical Dharma Productions soundtrack from Agneepath, a presumption that was affirmed when Ajay and Atul Gogvale of Singham fame were announced as the music directors of the film rather than the likes of Shankar-Eshaan-Loy and Vishal-Shekar. On the outset Agneepath’s soundtrack is made up of 6 tracks, no remixes, and features the vocal talents of Sunidhi Chauhan , Shreya Ghosal, Roop Kumar Rathod (Tujh Mein Rab Dikta Hai – Rab Ne Bana De Jodi), Sonu Nigam , Sukwinder Singh,...

Players music launch created dhamaka, quite literally. In a first of its kind event in the history of Bollywood, the launch saw the lead actors perform amazing stunts live in front of a huge gathered audience. Never before has a music launch been held at such a lavish scale. Held at Juhu, Mumbai, the event saw the entire cast – Abhishek Bachchan, Bobby Deol, Bipasha Basu, Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Sikander Kher and Omi Vaidya – along with the thriller expert director duo Abbas-Mustan.

Each star performed a stunt which gave a glimpse of the character he or she plays in the movie. Bobby Deol who plays the role of Ronnie displayed his illusionist skills by disappearing before the eyes of the audience from two different towers. “Jaise har chamakti cheez sona nahi hoti, jaise har remake original nahin hoti, waise har player Ronnie nahi hota!” stated Bobby giving the audience...

Bollywood’s popular couple - Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai - has been approached by animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to create awareness about the plight of lovebirds through a special photo shoot.

“As India’s most famous ‘lovebirds’, we believe that you are uniquely suited to help bring attention to the plight of these smart and sensitive birds.
