Nach Baliye Four report card - 18 Oct
Continuing with Nach Baliye Four’s first episode, audiences were thrilled to see Bipasha Basu’s fan and Beijing Olympics Bronze medallist, boxer Vijendar Kumar come and hand over a bouqet of flowers to the sexy and stunned Bips. Vijender also tried to shake a leg with Bipasha but ended up with a cute and clumsy act, while Bipasha was promised by Farah Khan of working with her, as the choreographer and actress have never worked with each othere till date. It would be worth all the waiting to see Bipasha Basu dance to the moves of the ace choreographer and Nach Baliye Four judge Farah Khan.
Moving on with the rest of the couples, here is their report card.
Nach Baliye Four Jodi No. 11 - Shaleen and Daljit
Song - ‘Tandoori Nights Remix’ from the movie Karzzzz.
Dressed in black and gold attire and complementing each other, Shaleen set the stage on fire with his lithe moves while Daljit matched up to her partner’s credentials. Farah Khan was happy with Shaleen’s work and said that though some of his moves were half-baked, the whole act was quite well-off. Karisma Kapoor saw good potential in the two dancers while Arjun Rampal talked about his Jabalpur connection and congratulated the couple for making a fiery start. With quite a good score card, here’s what they got -
Farah Khan - 8
ArjunRampal - 9
Karisma Kapoor - 9
Total - 26
Nach Baliye Four Jodi No. 7 - Sudeep and Anantika
Song - ‘Kya Keh Diya Hai’ from the movie Welcome.
Cuties Sudeep and Anantika, came dressed in white and yellow outfits respectively and the man who has done more than 100 ads till date, did give a good performance with his non-actor MBA degree holder wife, who has a tattoo on her arm, which reads ‘loyalty’. But the judges weren’t impressed. While Farah Khan pointed our that AnaNtika was constantly looking down, Read more
Nach Baliye Four report card - 17 Oct
Nach Baliye Four’s first episode was a mix of all the high drama and action that has become synonymous with the show’s brand. Here’s a look at the couples and their performance stats in case you missed the action -
Nach Baliye Four Jodi No. 4 - Naman and Megha
Song - ‘De Taali’
Donning sizzling black apparel, Naman Shaw and Megha made an impact with their introductory performance, but the judges didn’t have the same thoughts. While Farah Khan appreciated the technical aspect of their dance, she called it too gimmicky.
Arjun Rampal congratulated the couple for a good start while Karisma Kapoor apprecited the chemistry. Here are the scores -
Farah Khan - 5
ArjunRampal - 8
Karisma Kapoor - 7
Total - 20
Nach Baliye Four Jodi No. 8 - Mouli and Mazher
Song - ‘Soniye Ve’
The entire troupe looked straight out of an airport, with Mouli Ganguli playing flight attendant and partner Mazher being the pilot, and the dancers playing ground staff. While Karisma Kapoor called the act cute, Farah Khan appreciated Mazher and called their performance peppy but demanded more from the choreographers. Arjun Rampal called the act a bit clumsy. This is what they scored -
Farah Khan - 7
ArjunRampal - 7
Karisma Kapoor - 7
Total - 21 Read more

India’s most watched dance show Nach Baliye is back with it’s season four, and how! Nach Baliye 4’s first episode was aired on Star Plus, on Friday, 17th Oct, 08 and as expected, the show threw up a lot of action and excitement.
Continuing it’s tradition of making the winners of the previous season as the host of the current one, Aamir Ali and Sanjeeda, Nach Baliye season three winners were seen pumping up the confidence of not one, not two but twelve jodis (couples) as well introducing the brand new judges of the current season.

Snippets from her colleagues from the Indian Film Industry were screened where stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone were seen warning the contestants of Farah’s infamous temper.

Shahrukh’s Temptation Reloaded Tour Cancelled in Germany
A big dissappointment fro the Shahrukh fans, Temptation Reloaded shows for Europe are being cancelled. The official statement from Karim Morani (director of the Temptation Reloaded 2008 tour) is, “Red Chillies Entertainment Limited (SRK’s production house) announces with great regret that they will be unable to facilitate the three city tour of Temptations Reloaded 2008 in Germany (in Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt). This was due to promoter breaching the contract.
Industry inside people has labelled this tour as shahrukh’s answer to Big B’s Unforgettable tour. But now this tour will only be held in one city Dubai. Sensasian Media Limited, promotor of the tour haven’t fulfilled their obligation in due time which makes it impossible for the shows to take place in Germany.
Bollywood stars like Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone and Arjun Rampal are part of this tour which was being termed as bigger than the recently held Bachchan’s World Tour.

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
Aamir Khan’s good wishes are with Harman Baweja
Tadka spice - With both Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na dn Love Story 2050 releasing this Friday, the race is already on, yet Aamir Khan wishes well to Harman Baweja too.
Aamir Khan was recently seen talking to media persons regarding the release of his nephew Imran Khan’s debut movie Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, clashing with the gigantic budget movie Love Story 2050, which marks the debut of producer/director Harry Baweja’s son Harman Baweja. And it was nice to see that even though Aamir Khan didn’t postpone the release of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na on request from good friend Harry Baweja, Aamir wished good luck to both the movies, and said that he hoped Harman Baweja makes a mark too.
Aamir Khan cited to the media persons various examples from the past when two movies released on the same day had gone on to do big business, like Gadar and Lagaan, Welcome and Taare Zameen Par etc. He said that a movie’s release date has nothing much to do with it’s success, and a film would work only if the script was good and the execution was appropriate. Harry Baweja’s fears aren’t exactly unfounded as Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na has been garnering more attraction by the cine-goers, due to it’s more youthful appeal, while Love Story 2050 having some of the best special effects seen so far in any Indian movie seems to have lagged behind.

Sarkar Raj, intentionally termed bad, goes on to do superhit business!
Tadka spice - It couldn’t have been better for Ram Gopal Varma, after all the media played games with his Sarkar Raj!
If you still believe that Sarkar Raj is a commercial/critical flop, we suggest you go and wash your eyes in the basin! Ram Gopal Varma’s casting coup consisting of Amitabh Bachchan - Abhishek Bachchan -Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, has gone on to throw mud in the face of those who tried to intentionally run down the movie’s credentials as a success, both critical and commercial. So much so, that the movie not only recovered it’s due amount in unexpected centres, but also went on a business making spree across the globe!
Sarkar Raj made ignificant inroads in garnering collection in centres where it was expected to do bad and where distributors themselves were sceptical of the movie’s success, proposing Sarkar Raj as yet another Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag. Sarkar Raj, which wasn’t expected to do well in eastern Punjab tarde circles, not only recovered it’s cost in the first week itself, but also proved to go well beyond that and do brisk business. Sarkar Raj also stopped short of breaking into the US top ten slot! So much for a movie which was ripped apart intentionally.
Sarkar Raj has been declared a hit officially, with it’s business raking in Read more
Haal-E-Dil promos strike the right chord with the audiences!
Tadka spice - Haal-E-Dil’s current promotional campaigns have hit the right spot, but there’s more to the movie than it seems!
The current promotions of Anil Devgan directed and Kumar Mangat produced Haal-E-Dil, which run up to a length of about a minute have become a rage, thanks to the slick editing of the shots and the gentle touch to the scenes telecast on the small screen. Close-ups of of all the three new faces who are stepping into Bollywood with Haal-E-Dil are targetting the right audiences and gaining all the desired and due atention. The movie stars Kumar Mangat’s daughter Amita, Shekhar Suman’s son Adhyayan and a very popular face in Indian commercials, Nakuul Mehta.
In fact, Haal-E-Dil’s music, which seemed to be the most striking feature of this movie has got competition now. Not by the anything secondary but by the very things which will draw a lot of crowds expectedly: the beautiful shots, the cinematography (re: camerawork) and the emotional scenes which have become Haal-E-Dil’s promos’ high point. No one expected that a film starring three fresh faces would be setting a benchmark of it’s own in the way films are promoted on the small screen, especially in the times of producers lining up grandiose trailers in the theatres, and not much on the television.
Haal-E-Dil is Read more
Why Hrithik’s Junoon scores above all…
Tadka spice - The media has been writing about the low TRPs of Junoon, which has Hrithik Roshan as it’s brand ambassador, forgetting that the show is above all a tribute to music and not greed.
Picture this: Salman Khan’s Dus Ka Dum is leading the TRPs these days, of course with the prize money to the tune of 10 crores being offered, followed by Shah Rukh Khan’s Kya Aap Panchvi Pass Se Tez Hain? And amidts all this we get to hear that Hrithik Roshan promoting Junoon… Kuch Kar Dikhane Ka, aired on NDTV imagine, is the lowest in terms of TRPs in the shows thriving on star power. The media couldn’t have been more wrong in mixing the respect for music - the soul of life, to a trait of humans known simply as greed.
While Shah Rukh Khan’s Paanchvi Pass… and Salman Khan’s Dus Ka Dum have been grabbing eyeballs majorly because of the fact that they have two of the most prominent film stars leading the shows, besides of course the astronomical amount of money being offered, the media completely forgot two points: Hrithik Roshan’s promotion for Junoon whichis all about music, shouldn’t have been put in the same league as the other two, which focus entirely on filling up the coffers of ever so money minded humans.
And secondly, Hrithik Roshan, unlike Read more
