Are the Bachchans losing it?
Tadka question - with mixed reports about the success and the flak that Bachchans’ Unforgettable Tour has recieved, is it time to say that they no longer are the most powerful of the lot? Read on…
The last leg of the Bachchans‘ Unforgettable Tour in Rotterdam and Oberhausen has been cancelled, and this is not the first time that a part of the much hyped tour has been recinded, with similar fate at other cities like Vancouver having already been witnessed. Amitabh Bachchan, the vangaurd of the family tour, along with son Abhishek Bachchan and Daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and wife Jaya Bachchan has been on a denial mode about their tour not recieving the kind of success it expected, but every now and then the media has been reporting the grim side of it all.
So much so, that the fab four had to rope in Akshay Kumar and Madhuri Dixit herself in between. Riteish Deshmukh and Preity Zinta were already accompanying them along with Vishal-Shekhar, the musical duo. But every time, allegations of highly priced tickets leading to far less the number of viewers has cropped up. With Shah Rukh Khan’s Temptations tour going to start in a short span of time, reports suggest that it would be far better than the Unforgettable one as the tickets of SRK’s tour have been priced far less in comparison, and his entourage will boast of a much more diverse and successful stardust, including Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kaif amongst others.
All this while, the Bachchans didn’t have Read more
Movie review - Rock On
Tadka spice - Now that you must have already learnt that the movie is the next big hit of this year, we’d rather have you lining up at the Box Office than reading this review, but just in case…
Farhan Akhtar disappoints once again! Yes, the critics would have loved to run him down but Rock On is gonna put a big rock into those very critics’ mouths to shut them up, who said that he had lost his sheen after Dil Chahta Hai. Rock On is as much about the new age Bollywood which not just shows how agood script can turn the tables at the BO but also set a new benchmark, as it is about Bollywood itself, which fails to find successes in the first half of each year, yet bounces back in the second half like a phoenix. Farhan Akhtar has done it, yet again!!!
Don’t we all know already that movie is about a rock band and their trials and tribulations? So, let’s spare the crap and focus on why exactly the movie rocks! Farhan Akhtar, not just croons, acts and directs, but also spreads the ’superb performance virus’ as one would like to call it to the likes of Arjun Rampal and Prachi Desai. Yeah! Arjun Rampal will knock you over with Rock On, it is as much his film as is Farhan’s himself. And that ultra-senti bahu Prachi Desai has made the perfect debut seemingly with this movie. She must thank Farhan Akhtar for this from her heart (spare us the 10 handkercheif sobbing drama Prachi when you read this :P).
Luke Kenny, who till now was the most ‘authentic’ looking rockstar from the fab four in Rock On will not just win your heart with his performance Read more

baat bol ke, raaz kholna

Kabhi kabhi aditi,
(sometimes Aditi-)
zindagi mein yun hi,
(someone in your life-)
koi apna lagta hai
(seems all that’s there to be…)
kabhi kabhi aditi
(sometimes Aditi-)
woh bichhad jaaye to
(if you two get separated-)
ek sapna lagta hai
(it seems like a bad dream…)
aise mein koi kaise apne, aansuon ko, behne se roke…
(in times like that, how does one, stop his tears from falling…)
aur kaise koi soch le, everyhting’s gonna be ok…
(and how does one come to think that everything’s gonna be ok…)
kabhi kabhi to lage
(sometimes it seems-)
zindagi mein rahi
(there remains in life-)
na khushi aur na maza
(no hppiness and no fun…)
kabhi kabhi to lage
(sometimes it seems-)
har din mushkil
(each day’s too hard-)
aur har pal ek saza
(and each moment a penalty…)
aise mein koi kaise muskaraaye, kaise hans de khush hoke…
(in times like that, how does one smile and laugh with happiness…)
aur kaise koi soch le, everyhting’s gonna be ok
(and how does one come to think that everything’s gonna be ok…)
