COURTING CONTROVERSIES IN BOLLYWOOD '10

Hi Friends....

How have you been? Trust all's well at your end and you celebrated Christmas and New Year with fervour and enthusiasm and also made some resolutions which you hope to accomplish before another year ushers in! In my last month's blog I had written extensively about the influx of newcomers making their début in Bollywood and more so the need to be cautious and careful when you select your launch pad especially if you happened  to have no backing at all be it star parents,sugar daddies,God pas or any distant relatives in the Hindi film industry.

I had also addressed some key parameters one could consider when making your début, how to keep yourself afloat by way of having the right PR person and an agent to get you the right roles.I had also nominated some promising débuts over the last two decades and asked you to vote on it ....but sadly the response has been far from encouraging with just two people choosing to vote...(that' s exactly the state of our country when youngsters fail to exercise their right and with all might have the gumption to talk about the sorry state of affairs in our country!) Nevertheless, those two votes are definitely counted and I will compile this list when I get at least 10 votes (of course sky is the limit). So wait on and wake up from the slumber! 

Till that happens,let's discuss 5 controversies that shrouded Bollywood in 2010. So lets begin....

AS JUNE GOES BY...

Hello Everybody,

How've you been? Hope all's well at your end? Well,it's been a busy month...not as far as I'm concerned but on newsmaking events taking place around the world! And yup...if I did miss out on any...please do write in the comments section which is at the end of each article...So,let's get going!

The much awaited FIFA world cup kickstarted amidst great frenzy... but on the eve of this grand event,the family of Africa's legendary leader Nelson Mandela was mourning the tragedy of his great grand-daughter who was killed in a car crash on her way from the 2010 FIFA World Cup kick-off concert. RIP

THE INDIAN CONNECTION (the concluding part)

Hello Everybody,

How have you been??

Today I bring to you the concluding part of last week's posting on THE INDIAN CONNECTION. So, am back with the never ending list of people who somewhere have an Indian lineage behind them or some of our very own people from India have made it big or let's put it striving hard to make it big in the global arena in the area of performing arts....yes in films! I certainly appreciate their efforts which are praiseworthy....after all its not a rosy path to make your mark in a foreign soil....a new place, new set of people, diverse cultures, different work culture & ethics all of which bring in different set of challenges...and to start from there and to rise to great heights....is not a joke!!

YEH DIL MAANGE MORE….

Hello everybody,

It’s not everyday that you get to see a song and dance number in Hollywood with the exception of films like Sound of Music, Moulin Rouge, Chicago and a couple of others, but in Hindi films you surely do, it adds to the splendour of the film. But these days, if I may put it, song and dance sequences tends to get over the top, sometimes out of place and at times vulgar. There are different views expressed on the growing trend of ‘item numbers’ fast catching up in films today and their pros and cons as expressed by actors, choreographers etc.
