He added: "So, I am not the...

An Uttar Pradesh girl who went on to do her Engineering in Computer Science, followed it up with post graduation in Management, worked in a leading international bank as an Investment advisor and eventually won Miss India crown for herself in 2012, Prachi Mishra has had an eventful journey so far from academics to the world of glamour. Well, this isn’t where she is stopping as Prachi is now making her Bollywood sojourn with Japinder Kaur Baweja directed Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend, where she is paired opposite Divyendu Sharma (of Pyaar Ka Punchnama and Chashme Baddoor fame).

From academics to glamour, how has the journey been?

It was a very gradual shift and everything just worked for me, be it Engineering, Masters or Miss India. Then when movies happened, it was like a 360 degree shift for me. Am I happy? Oh yes, I am very happy about it. Of course these...

This one is going to be a week of comedies for Bollywood. Dilliwaalli Zaalim Girlfriend and Hunterr arrive together, and both are youth centric affairs. Let’s talk about Dilliwaalli Zaalim Girlfriend first. The film has seen some good visibility coming its way, courtesy the songs that have fetched attention during the last few weeks. Moreover, it has Divyendu Singh and Pradhuman Singh promising good humor, something that they have demonstrated well before in films like Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Chashme Baddoor and Tere Bin Laden. Since the film promises to present the quirky side of Delhi, one expects some good fun here.

On the other hand Hunterr has adult content at its core. Gulshan Devaiah, who has shown good range in films like Shaitaan, Ram Leela and Hate Story, leads the show with Radhika Apte (Badlapur) bringing on the spunk. Since Anurag Kashyap’s name is attached to the film,...

From Dubai to Mumbai, it has been quite some journey for young Japinder Kaur who is making her foray into the world of Bollywood.

We get into a quick conversation with her.

A love story with a thrill element to it – Guess Dilliwaalli Zaalim Girlfriend is one cocktail of a film?

While it is my first film, I pretty much feel that I am an audience first. I don’t have any checklist or criteria that I am following at all. As an audience when I watch a film, I enjoy a cocktail. Same is the case with my friends and family.

The game of musical chair continues to be played for Aamir Khan's next film Dangal. Last week it was being rumored that Kangna Ranaut was approached to play Aamir's daughter in the film which would be directed by Nitesh Tiwari. While Kangna denied that she was approached for the film, the new name that went into circulation this week was that of Taapsee Pannu. Well, the story is just the same as Taapsee too has been caught absolutely clueless about the developments. "Guess there are too many well-wishers around who seem to making these insinuations," chuckles Taapsee, "Please say my thank you to those who are spreading such 'news pieces'. However, to set the records straight, this is news to me too. I don't know from where has all this come from." While 'sources' behind these rumors insist that Taapsee is indeed one of the four names that has been...

YoYo Honey Singh fans can rejoice. Four months after he turned 'Alcoholic' for The Shaukeens, he would now be heard again for a Bollywood flick. The song is titled 'Birthday Bash' which is not just sung by Honey Singh but also features him in a specially designed music video. This is for the film which has been teasingly titled Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend. "That's right, it is going to be a treat for all those Honey Singh fans who have patiently waited for him to be back on the musical scene," confirms our source, "Honey Singh had a lot of fun singing and shooting for this song. It is pretty much on the lines of his songs that have turned chartbusters over the years." This also spells good news for the performer who has been in news for wrong reasons during last few months. Since he hasn't made a public appearance for long,...

Every actor likes being complimented on their performances. More so if it is the director one worked with on their first commercial Bollywood film.

A little birdie told us, Taapsee got a surprise call from David Dhawan after he saw the film Baby and complimented her on her portrayal of the character. He said that her body language and expressions were bang on and would really leave a lasting impression on one’s mind. The call apparently made Taapsee feel really special because he directed her in her debut Bollywood film Chashme Baddoor.

Well any actress would be flattered to get compliments from a legendary directory much like David Dhawan. Taapsee who had invited the director for a special screening couldn’t make it as he was busy traveling and the moment he came back the first thing he did was catch up on the movie.

This perhaps is the...

"Rohit is starting his next film soon. Varun has to be there. They are brothers, I want to see both of them work together," said David Dhawan in a Bollywood Hungama exclusive video interview. "Rohit is a full trained guy. I trust his instinct more than anything else," David added. David Dhawan is excited with the positive response to his latest venture Main Tera Hero.

David also acknowledged the support lent by elder son Rohit when he fell ill during the making of the film. David Dhawan remade Chashme Baddoor recently. Would he like to remake any of his own films? "I was thinking of remaking Shola Aur Shabnam and Raja Babu but now I don't want to remake any of my own films.

New Delhi, April 4: Danish badminton player Mathias Boe, who won a men's doubles match at the India Open, is always eager to play in India. And why not, especially if his girlfriend, Indian actress Taapsee Pannu comes to cheer for him during his matches here.

The "Chashme Baddoor" star came to support the Olympic silver medallist during his match with partner Carsten Mogensen Thursday.

Sitting quietly court side late in the evening in an almost empty Siri Fort Sports Complex, as Boe's match was the last of the day, the 26-year-old actress was clapping for each point Boe won.

After ‘Gunday’, the first out and out ‘masala’ film to hit the screens, and that too after a span of a month and a half, is ‘Main Tera Hero’. Varun Dhawan is coming across as an actor with many films under his belt and the visibility he has gained during last one year, thanks to quite a few endorsements, has ensured good visibility and connect with youth as well as family. The biggest hero of the film though is David Dhawan who had delivered a hit ‘Chashme Baddoor’ exactly a year back. With the promos gaining good reactions and Balaji promoting the film well, this fun entertainer has been in news for last couple of months.

All of this means that from the opening standpoint, ‘Main Tera Hero’ would have a good Friday. While at multiplexes one can expect an opening over the 70%, multiplexes should find over 50% occupancy which is...

Kathak exponent and actress Ranjana Bhattacharya who recently performed at the Bhavans Mumbai Kathak festival and the Taj Mahotsav was honored with the Maharashtra Gaurav Puraskar award at a Shiv Jayanti function by a prominent social organisation – the Global Citizens Action Forum in Mumbai today. Ranjana Bhattacharya has been studying Kathak for the last 10 years under Kathak gurus Jayantimala and Sitara Devi. Jayantimala is the daughter of the legendary Padma Shree awardee Sitara Devi.

11 months after his last hit Chashme Baddoor, Ali Zafar is back on the big screen with Total Siyapaa. While the David Dhawan directed comedy was as 'filmy' as it gets, Total Siyapaa is on the lines of other concept based films like Tere Bin Laden and London Paris New York that Ali has been a part of.

"Mostly, what I look for in my films is the content of the script. Also, it works when such films are made on a tight budget. Like for example Total Siyapaa was shot in 28 days flat. We could afford to do that as the script was water tight and we didn't have to invent things on the sets. I could pretty much sense that the shooting would be smooth once Neeraj Pandey shared the script with me. It sounded very direct and balanced. Now that was a feat in itself because the very...

In theaters on Friday is Total Siyapaa starring Ali Zafar, Yami Gautam, Kirron and Anupam Kher. The comedy was written by Neeraj Pandey and directed by E.Niwas. Total Siyapaa is a hilarious tale of cross-border love told through the trials and tribulations of a young Pakistani boy who falls in love with an Indian girl, and travels to London to be with her. Along the way, he has to contend with that most formidable of adversary – the future mother-in-law. Aman’s life descends into ‘Total Siyapaa’ when he attempts, albeit unsuccessfully at first, to impress his future in-laws with hilarious and at times completely cringe-inducing consequences.

2013 has undoubtedly been an eventful year with a plethora of movies, brilliant performances, songs and so much more! We all had our bets on some of the biggest successes of the year, but there were quite a few releases that didn’t exactly have a very appealing trailer, electrifying buzz pre-release or glamorous promotional activities but managed to stand out and surprise us with their level of entertainment and substance.
