PS: And for those wondering if there is any stress between Ms Bendre and Kirron Kher over the disagreement over contestants, be assured there isn't. Sonali says, "Maybe it comes across like that, because of editing sometimes but we get along really well."

Salman's family planning a 'Dabangg' bash

The Salman Khan starrer 'Dabangg' has rocked the box office and the film's producer Arbaaz Khan says they are planning to celebrate the success.


"Yes, we're going to have a celebration very shortly. So far because of the way 'Dabangg' has gone, we haven't been able to plan out full details. But yes we will invite all our friends and colleagues. We want to share our happiness," said Arbaaz.


There are many firsts attached to 'Dabangg' - this is Arbaaz's first production venture, Abhinav Kashyap's first movie as a director and it also launched Sonakshi Sinha as an actress.


And for Arbaaz, 'Dabangg' is not only a family achievement, but a personal triumph too.


"To be finally recognised for my work is a feeling I can't describe. Personally, I had never dreamt the film would become so big. If you say the film has been a success because of the way it was marketed and because Salman is liked in action roles, I'd have to disagree. Salman went all out for 'Veer' as well," he said.


"As for action, yes 'Wanted' was a success in the action genre. But not to the extent of 'Dabangg'. Besides action 'Dabangg' had the comic element, great music (by Sajid-Wajid) and the girl (Sonakshi Sinha) has been immensely liked. Who knows what it is? All I know is that me and my family are looking at one of the biggest hits of the industry and we'd like to believe the entire industry shares our joy because a hit of this magnitude means prosperity for the entire industry."


When asked about the guest list for the impending bash, Arbaaz said: "Ideally, we'd like to invite everyone in the film industry. But that would mean a guest list of 15,000 to 20,000 people. We can't manage that. So we'd restrict ourselves to all our friends. Trust me it would be quite a list."


The guest list may include the Bachchan family, Shatrughan-Poonam-Sonakshi Sinha, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao, Sanjay-Manyata Dutt, Ajay Devgn-Kajol, Karan Johar, Rani Mukerji, Hrithik-Susanne Roshan, Imran Khan and his fiancée Aavantika, Rishi, Ranbir and Neetu Kapoor, and Priyanka Chopra.

'Dabangg' Setting new benchmarks

Records are meant to be broken and DABANGG is doing just that. It's on a record-breaking spree. Previous records, at practically all centres, have been vanquished. Chulbul Pandey is the new hero and DABANGG, the new blockbuster.


This isn't the first time Salman Khan has created history. It started with MAINE PYAR KIYA, which brought viewers back to theatres. In hordes. Then HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN rewrote the rules of the game. Now DABANGG has emerged a monstrous hit. It's the new benchmark for success.


What makes DABANGG a roaring success? I asked this question to several prominent film-makers [including DABANGG producer Arbaaz Khan] and top notch distributors [read comments below]. First 3 IDIOTS and now DABANGG have opened the eyes of the film fraternity vis-à-vis the volume of business. But, like I said earlier, this is just the beginning. It's the tip of the iceberg.


Now let's talk economics. DABANGG is an expensive film for two reasons: Presence of an A-list actor [Salman Khan] and high-voltage action scenes. Action films cost more than a love story or family drama. The cost of production of DABANGG works out to approx. Rs. 30 cr., while an additional Rs. 10 cr. was spent on P. & A. That takes the total to Rs. 40 cr. Now add Salman Khan's remuneration [Rs. 15 cr. - official sources have confirmed it] and the final cost stands at Rs. 55 cr.


The cost - on the higher side - doesn't seem high anymore. For, at the rate DABANGG is faring in the domestic market, the amount should be recovered from India theatrical alone and the returns/price fetched from Overseas, Music Rights, Home Video, Satellite Rights and Tamil & Telugu Remake Rights will only add to the profits. Jab uparwala deta hain, chappar faad ke deta hain.


VOICES OF TOP LEAGUE DISTRIBUTORS & EXHIBITORS


"You can't explain the phenomenon. Everybody expected it to be a big weekend, but this big nobody could foretell. If you make an entertaining film, the potential is very high. DABANGG proves it."
- AMAN GILL


"Honestly, it's a one-man army called Salman Khan. Also, the film has been brilliantly marketed and the credit goes to Salman again. His acting and promotional skills have resulted in this success."
- ASHOK AHUJA


"I think everything has worked for the film. The timing of release, the kind of film it is and most importantly, Salman Khan."
- MAHENDRA SONI


"I will cite two factors - music and promotion. After a long time moviegoers are throwing coins and dancing on the songs. Also, hats off to Salman Khan for promoting the film to the optimum."
- SANJAY CHATAR


"The credit goes to Salman Khan. It's a one-man show."
- SANJAY GHAI


"I can describe DABANGG as a modern SHOLAY as it has all the ingredients for classes as well as masses. It has long legs and I foresee a dream run at the box-office. The Khans are laughing all the way to the bank."
- SUNIEL WADHWA

Dabangg sequel

Here's what you can expect in the sequel that rolls year-end



A sequel to Dabangg is already in the offing. The decision to go ahead with the second instalment was taken over the weekend at an Eid party at Salman Khan's Bandra home.


Producer Arbaaz Khan says, "A sequel is on the cards. And why just a sequel? The film and the main characters have the potential to be carried forward through various channels."


Sonu Sood confirms the developments, "Salman was the most enthusiastic at his Eid party. When he suggested we do the sequel, we started discussing it very seriously."


While other details are yet to be finalised, it is learnt that Dabangg will roll at year-end.
And yes, it will have another item song on par with Malaika Arora's Munni Badnaam Hui.


WHAT CHANGES:
>> The plot will now move away from the Uttar Pradesh hinterland to a large city, probably Mumbai
>> Sonu Sood who plays small-town goon-politician Chedi Singh will play a double role in the sequel and will be shown to have a twin brother.


AND WHAT DOESN'T
>> Director Abhinav Singh Kashyap will continue as director. He has been briefed on how the story goes forward.
>> Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha will reprise their roles in the sequel

'Dabangg' beats '3 Idiots' at weekend box office

Salman Khan did it last year with 'Wanted' and he has done it again now - the star has set the box office on fire as corrupt cop Chulbul 'Robinhood' Pande in his latest movie 'Dabangg' that has collected Rs.48.25 crore (gross) at the opening weekend. And trade pundits say it has beaten the initial earnings of Hindi cinema's highest grosser '3 Idiots'.


Set in rustic and rugged Uttar Pradesh, Abhinav Kashyap's directorial debut had collections of approximately Rs.14.50 crore, Rs.15.75 crore and Rs.18 crore on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (September 10,11 and 12), respectively, adding up to approximately Rs.48.25 crore, according to trade sources.


Aamir's '3 Idiots', which released last Christmas, on the other hand, raked in approximately Rs.41 crore gross including paid previews which didn't happen in the case of 'Dabangg'.


The film's success has not only benefited Salman, but also established his brother Arbaaz Khan as a successful producer.


"The audience response of 'Dabangg' has really humbled me... 'Dabangg' is the biggest grosser of all time for the weekend. Shattering all records everywhere. I'm so proud of Salman and my entire team. Kudos," Arbaaz, who turned producer with the movie, posted on Twitter.


"A special thanks to all the audiences who have embraced and loved the film to make it so huge... also to the many critics who have given very good reviews."


'Dabangg' turned out to be a lucky launch pad for Sonakshi Sinha, the daughter of veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha.


"It has broken all records. It is running 30 percent ahead of '3 Idiots' and has been appreciated both by masses and classes across both multiplexes and single-screens," said Delhi-based distributor Joginder Mahajan.


"The movie has got an Eid effect as it released in the festive weekend. It has no competition as earlier releases didn't do well and there is no big release in the coming week too. These are rare circumstances that we see in the Indian film industry," he added.


Multiplexes are busy counting profit.


"All shows for the movie have been housefull starting from Sunday till Monday afternoon. We have been playing 29 shows of the movie and the response has been very good. Everyone is liking it," Amit Awasthi, senior manager (Programming and Operations) of Spice Cinemas, said.


"In just three days, the movie has crossed Rs.2.1 million at Spice whereas '3 Idiots' had collected only Rs.1.85 million. However, with no big release this week, we are optimistic that the movie will definitely go places, though during weekdays, we are expecting less collections compared to the weekend," he added.


Yogesh Raizada, corporate head (Cinemas) of Wave Cinemas, is also happy with the initial box office response -- however, he is sceptical about the week ahead.


"It definitely had a stronger weekend collection than '3 Idiots' but now we have to see is whether it is able to sustain the collections. With not many big releases around the corner, we are hoping that it will," he said.


Distributor Mahajan is also not sure 'Dabangg' will beat the overall record of '3 Idiots' that grossed over Rs.450 crore.


" 'Dabangg' won't have an overall '3 Idiots' effect because that one had a very good word of mouth and people came to watch it with family. But you can't recommend this one to your father or your elders, you can just watch it once and get entertained," said Mahajan.


"Then '3 Idiots' maintained its business in the second and third week but this one doesn't look that promising," he added.


Also starring Sonu Sood, Arbaaz, Vinod Khanna and Dimple Kapadia, the film is doing well in states like Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab as it collected approximately Rs.15.60 crore.

Box Office update: 'Dabangg' is unstoppable, opens to biggest response of 2010

As expected and predicted by this writer time and again, DABANGG opened to an earth-shattering and record-breaking response across the country. The film drew full houses from its first show onwards everywhere. Even at multiplexes, where ceetees and taalis are a rarity, the response to DABANGG was overwhelming, with fans clapping and whsitling at Salman’s intro, Salman’s dialogue [at several places] and of course, the climax fight.


DABANGG has opened in 1,584 screens in India and in terms of numbers, the film is expected to have a bigger Friday than RAAJNEETI [the biggest opener of 2010, which collected Rs. 10.5 cr. nett on Friday] and should be at par [or bigger] than 3 IDIOTS, which is the biggest opener ever [collected Rs. 13 cr. nett on Friday]. Eid will be celebrated on Saturday, so once can imagine the [grand] business on not just Saturday and Sunday, but also Monday. As per initial trends, DABANGG will be competing with just one film – 3 IDIOTS.

MOVIE REVIEW: Dabangg

The fight between good and bad has been the fodder of many a Hindi film of 1970s and 1980s. In fact, it wouldn't be erroneous to state that these films dominated the cinema of yore and a lot of us, who have grown up on masala films/wholesome entertainers, will vividly recall the serpentine queues outside cinema halls and a mad scramble to book the tickets of those films. Hardcore masala films were relished with glee by the audience then.


However, for some inexplicable reason, masala films became extinct or should I say, disappeared from the face of Hindi cinema over a period of time. GHAJINI and WANTED revived this genre, bringing back memories of the bygone era. Now DABANGG takes this genre one step ahead.


Be forewarned. DABANGG is rustic, has loads of action, harps on the age-old mother-son and varied relationships [half-brother, step-father], eventually turns into a vendetta fare, has a number of songs placed smartly in the narrative [including an item number]... but the packaging is slick and polished. Sure, it's old wine, but packed in a brand new bottle, with a new brand ambassador [Salman Khan] endorsing this masalathon.


Most importantly, it has Salman like never before. Breathing fire and venom, Chulbul Pandey aka Robinhood Pandey taps Salman's star power like no film has and the result is sheer magic. In fact, DABANGG stands on three pillars - Salman's star power, smashing stunts and super music.


Final word? Salman fans, rejoice! You walk in DABANGG with 100% expectations and you exit with 200% gratification. Entertainment guaranteed. This film will create a pandemonium of sorts, a mass hysteria, crushing old records and setting new benchmarks at the box-office.


Set in Uttar Pradesh, DABANGG is a story of Chulbul Pandey [Salman Khan], a totally fearless but corrupt police officer with unorthodox working methods. But even the most fearless at times face a tough fight with their innermost demons. Chulbul has had a bitter childhood. His father passed away when he was very young, after which his mother [Dimple Kapadia] married Prajapati Pandey [Vinod Khanna]. Together, they had a son Makhanchan [Arbaaz Khan].


Prajapati favors Makhanchan, which does not go down well with Chulbul. He decides to take control of his destiny and detaches himself from his step-father and half-brother. His sole attachment is his mother. However, after his mother's demise and an unsuccessful attempt to mend wounds, Chulbul snaps all ties with his step-father and half-brother.


Rajo [Sonakshi Sinha], with her unique perspective of life, enters his world and turns life upside down. Chulbul starts to see life more positively and also gets sensitized to the value of a family. But his detractors, especially the dubious Cheddi Singh [Sonu Sood], have their own vested interests and emerge as spokes in the wheels, putting one brother against the other. Makhanchan ends up carrying out an act oblivious to the consequences.


When Makhanchan realizes he has been used, he turns to Chulbul. Will Chulbul take his extended hand? Will the brothers be able to thwart their detractors?


The job of a promo is to give a gist of the film and prepare the audience well in advance about what to expect when they saunter into an auditorium. The promos of DABANGG have sent the right signals to the audience about it being a paisa vasool entertainer. Let's face it, DABANGG has nothing ground-breaking to offer as far as its plot is concerned. We've visited similar stories in the past, but what makes DABANGG shine, and shine brightly, is Salman's star power, which camouflages the aberrations wonderfully. The darling of the masses has been cast in a role that his fans love to see him in, which explains why this film works from start to end.


Like I pointed out earlier, DABANGG is special for two more reasons: S. Vijayan's stunts and Sajid-Wajid's music, with an additional song by Lalit Pandit. Talking of action scenes, Salman's introduction at the start and the fight-to-finish in the climax will send the masses in frenzy. To state that the action scenes are outstanding, especially the fight in the finale, would be an understatement. In the finale fight, when Salman's shirt tears apart and the rippling muscles and the bare-chest fight ensues, mark my words, it will lead to chaos at mass-dominated centres, especially at single screens. The climax will be one of the prime reasons for repeat viewing, for sure.


It's difficult to accommodate music in an action film, but Sajid-Wajid come up with a melodious score. The title track, 'Tere Mast Mast Do Nain' and 'Munni' [composed by Lalit Pandit] are the icing on the cake.


Director Abhinav Singh Kashyap is in his element. He's made an out and out entertainer with an eye at the masses and he succeeds in his endeavour. Doing justice to vintage formula is no cakewalk, let's not forget. Besides, the director stays away from going overdramatic while handling the dramatic and emotional moments. This explains why you don't exit the theatre with a spinning head. Mahesh Limaye's cinematography is perfect. I'd like to make a note of the editing [Pranav V. Dhiwar], which is super-slick in action scenes. Dialogue, especially those delivered by Salman, will be greeted with claps and whistles. Especially the one 'Itne chhed karunga'.


Salman Khan is the boss, when it comes to playing to the masses. This film reaffirms this truth. The role provides him ample opportunity to prove his star power and he does it with remarkable ease. Let me put it on record. DABANGG is yet another landmark film in his career, besides MAINE PYAR KIYA, HUM AAPKE HAIN KOUN, JUDWAA [tapping the funny side], TERE NAAM [tapping the emotional side] and WANTED.


Sonakshi Sinha looks fresh, acts confidently and pairs off very well with Salman. Most importantly, she delivers the right expressions and is not overpowered by the galaxy of stars in the cast. Arbaaz Khan is efficient. He underplays his part well. Sonu Sood is electrifying, matching up to Salman at every step. In fact, the fight in the finale between Salman and Sonu is awe-inspiring.


Vinod Khanna is excellent in a role that has grey shades. Dimple Kapadia is truly wonderful. Anupam Kher is, as always, good. Ditto for Om Puri. Mahesh Manjrekar doesn't get ample scope. Mahi Gill is alright. Tinnu Anand is effective. Murli Sharma is nice. Malaika Arora Khan sizzles in the 'Munni' track.


On the whole, DABANGG is a full on entertainer with three aces - Salman Khan like never before, stylish action and super music. It's a foregone conclusion that DABANGG will open huge. As far as the business prospects are concerned, the film will set new benchmarks, so much so that DABANGG will be one of the yardsticks to gauge the level of business in times to come. Sure to fetch an earth-shattering opening, the film will create a pandemonium at the box-office, cementing the status of Salman Khan as the darling of the masses and making the distributors laugh all the way to the bank. It has Blockbuster written all over it!


RATING: 4.5/5

Spell check

If you are wondering about the spelling of the next Salman Khan starrer, producer Arbaaz Khan explains why Dabangg has been spelt with a double 'g'.



Says Arbaaz, "Dabangg means fearless. We had earlier spelt it with a single 'g' but many people thought it would read as 'Da-Bang'.


There may be an astrological reason, but the actual reason is to cause a resonance and stress on 'g' so that the word is pronounced correctly."

Big brother's bash

Salman Khan hosted a party last night to celebrate Arbaaz and Arpita's birthday



Salman Khan hosted a belated birthday bash last night at a suburban night club to celebrate his brother Arbaaz (August 4) and sister Arpita's (August 3) birthdays.


Says a source, "Salman is thrilled with the response to the Dabangg promo and was in a mood to party. He decided to have a combined bash to celebrate the response to the promos and his siblings' birthdays."


Every year, Salman throws a big bash for his younger sister Arpita. Last year it was at a five-star hotel near his house in Bandra but this time, the venue was a Juhu nightclub. The party was delayed by a few days as some of Arpita's close friends were not in town.


Adds the source, "Salman gives a free rein to Arpita and lets her decide everything from the menu to the venue and the guest list."


Those who attended the party included Farah Khan, Sajid Khan, Sajid Nadiadwala, Riteish Deshmukh and Dabangg heroine Sonakshi with her parents Shatrughan and Poonam Sinha. Aamir Khan left on Wednesday night for Australia to promote Peepli [Live] at the Melbourne film fest and couldn't attend.

Salman gifts Arbaaz a customised Being Human watch

Arbaaz Khan turns 43 today. The Dabangg producer brought in his birthday last night along with brother Salman, sister Arpita, close friends and relatives. A source reveals that Salman gifted Arbaaz a customised Being Human watch with his initials engraved at the bottom.



The source says, "Salman had already decided beforehand that he'd be gifting Arbaaz a limited edition Being Human watch -- something that no one else would have.


Arbaaz has a huge collection of watches and Bhai wanted one personalised to his younger brother's needs. He got in touch with a watch engineer and asked him to customise the watch. Apart from having his initials engraved on the watch, Salman also made a special box for the ghadi."


Arpita's friends were also invited to the bash as she celebrated her birthday yesterday as well. "It was a joint party. Also Salman's thrilled with the response to the Dabangg promo as it's Arbaaz's first production."


When contacted Arbaaz confirms, "Yes, Salman gifted me a beautiful watch. I'm busy with post-production for most of the day. Later on, I will be spending some time with my family and loved ones."

Wedding in the Khan-daan

Salman Khan grooved to Singh Is Kinng and Pappu Can't Dance Saala among other B-Town chartbusters (but not any of SRK's!) with his brothers Arbaaz and Sohail and sisters Alvira and Arpita.

The Khan kids (Arbaaz and Sohail's boys) too removed their shirts to groove bare-chested like their uncle. Arpita and her friends performed specially choreographed steps on a medley of popular tracks. The emcee even took recourse to 10 Ka Dum lingo… oopar, oopar-neeche, neeche to tell the guests when to be on the dance floor.

The Khan-daan is making merry as there's a wedding in the family. Sallu's cousin Kavita Charak ties the knot with Bandra boy Saif Baig today. The first of the events the sangeet was held at Sea Princess hotel, Juhu, on Wednesday night. Kavita is Salma Khan's brother Dr Dilip Charak's daughter.

Sallu's uncle is a dentist and the family lives in Mahim. Kavita, a graphic designer and Saif, son of Sadiq and Moina Baig, who have a cargo handling business met through common friends.

Sallu, sporting a hairband, appeared to be in an extremely jubilant mood as he sat with the kids singing along to the tracks. There was also Helen, Sohail's wife Seema and Atul Agnihotri (Alvira's hubby). The only person missing was Arbaaz's wife Malaika, who is indisposed.

The wedding ceremony will be held today followed by a reception on Saturday.

Bollywood biggies at Katrina's b'day bash

Bollywood turned up in full force to wish Katrina Kaif on her 24th birthday.

The birthday was celebrated at a Mumbai hotspot and Katrina was accompanied by her mother and sister, Isabelle. And by the entire Khan family, including mother Salma, Helen, brothers Sohail and Arbaaz along with wives and sisters Alvira and Arpita.

Saif and Kareena were there, Karisma came with Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep and Anu Dewan. Arjun Kapoor was present and so was Arpita, together at the same venue after their break-up some months back. They kept their distance. Amair Khan was the last one to arrive, after 1.30 am. After which the three Khans - Aamir, Salman and Shah Rukh – were seen engrossed in conversation.

Shah Rukh came in with Gauri and helped a TV cameraman when he fell down. Khan picked him up and made sure he was fine. However the press was not as cooperative later. They thronged him, making it impossible for Gauri to get into the car. Gauri gave up trying after a while and began walking down the road with Alison Kanuga. Karan Johar joined her, and got her back. Gauri did manage to squeeze herself into the car, only to land on SRK’s lap.

Salman almost lost his temper at mediapersons who refused to let Helen and Salma alone, but managed to control himself.
All the major filmmakers from the industry were present including Karan Johar, Rajkumar Santoshi, Kunal Kohli, Imtiaz Ali, David Dhawan, Anees Bazmee, Manmohan Shetty, Prakash Jha, Rohan and Ramesh Sippy, Nikhil Advani and others. More roles for Kat? Surprisingly no one from the Yash Chopra camp was present.

Finally at 3 am, the cops came in and stopped the party as it was way beyond the official 1 am. Sallu argued a bit, then gave up and called it a day.

Bollywood Loves Goa

Whenever one thinks of Kashmir, the first saying that comes to your mind is that of, 'If there is a paradise on earth, it is here, it is here, it is here.' But when anyone thinks of Goa, the first saying that comes to mind is…actually nothing! One does not waste time in thinking of sayings and slogans. All that one does is 'Break-Free' from all the daily stress and humdrums. Ever wondered how the B-town celebs perceive Goa as? Well read on and feel refreshed!

Esha Deol (actress): "Since I'm a total beach bum, Goa is one of the best spots India has to offer me. Lately however it's become too commercialized and not so safe. But I'll always have fond memories of my Goan holidays."

Pooja Bedi (TV host, socialite) : "I go to Goa at least 3-4 times a year. I love the spirit of openness and the fact that I can frolic on the beaches in a bikini with my kids without being harassed. I love the water sports, the restaurants, and international feel."

Sonu Sood (actor): "Yes Goa is my favourite holiday spot. I go there every year. I think it's the liveliest place in the world. Everyone is in the party mode. You forget all your worries. Also, after having shot two films there I can swear there can be no better place to shoot."

Chitrangda Singh (actress): "Goa is the Indian Europe. Great energy and feel!"

Raima Sen (actress): "I love Goa. I go at least 4 times a year. I love the seafood, beaches and shacks. I love the chilled-out life there. And the friendly vibes of the place. I can comfortably let my hair down."

Minissha Lamba (actress): "Goa is among the most easily accessible holiday spots, and one of those places where the beaches are 'swimmable'."

Arbaaz Khan (actor): "Goa is definitely my favourite holiday spot. It's chilled out, not much hustle-bustle… I love the place, people, food, and eating-places. Being close to Mumbai it's an ideal vacation spot."

Tusshar Kapoor (actor): "I've only been to Goa for shootings. I love the place. The ambience is excellent…I love the water and the warmth of the people. It's the ultimate place to go to get out of the rat race."

Imtiaz Ali (director): "Hey Goa is big in my life. I go there very often, but still not as often as I'd like. I'd like to live the life of a hippy or a nomad on one of the beaches there. I'd like to just travel around the beaches and villages. Life is not possible for me without Goa. It takes the traffic and the noise out of my blood system."

Rohit Roy (TV and film actor): "Goa has been my favourite Indian holiday destination from the time I was in college. My affair with Goa started as a fling and now it's a full-fledged romance. Earlier I'd go with a bunch of friends. But now it's become a hotspot for family holidays. My wife Manasi and baby girl Kiara are as much beach persons as I am! We go to Goa once or twice a year. I absolutely adore the place's chilled-out pace. It's a great destresser after Mumbai which leaves me breathless. I love Goan food, prawn curry, and rice being my favorite. Oh I love everything about Goa!"

Arshad Warsi (actor): "I love Goa. The place slows me down. I go there as often as I can."

Aryan Vaid (actor): "To be honest Goa isn't a favourite holiday spot. It's a beautiful place. But it doesn't do magic for me. Maybe because I live right across the beach in Mumbai. I prefer cool mountain places. Haven't been to Goa for two years. The drug scene in Goa is scary. I was once shooting in Goa and some locals misbehaved with our actresses."

Sammir Dattani (actor): "Since I am total water person Goa is THE place for me. At least twice a year I take off with a bunch of friends. We never get out of the water."

Amrita Arora (actress): "Though I like Goa my favourite holiday spot is London. I go at least twice a year. I love the vibe, the shopping and weather."

Iqbal Khan (TV actor): "I've never been to Goa for a holiday. It's always been work. I think it's an over-hyped place. Besides I prefer hills to beaches."

Niharika Singh (model, actress): "I like Goa. But it isn't my favourite holiday spot. Yes, I've been to Goa. But I'm not one of those who makes it a point to go there every year religiously. I love the seafood and flea markets in Goa."

Priyanka (Nisha) Kothari (actress): "Ya Goa is cool. I like everything about it. Though I usually travel wherever my work takes me, I don't mind going to Goa just so."

Tanushree Dutta (actress): "Goa is a favourite holiday spot. I manage to go twice a year. What I like best are the little shacks by the beaches and the old-world charm about the place."

Malaika Arora (VJ, actress): "I don't think there's any better place to holiday than Goa. I love it! My husband Arbaaz and I always dreamt of owning a home there. And now our dream is coming true."

Koena Mitra (actress): "Goa is one of my favourite holiday spots. You just can't get bored of Goa. I'm a beach girl and I love Goan seafood. I also love their music and their parties are high-energy. Winter is the right time to go to Goa."

Salman Khan goes missing from brother Arbaaz’s premiere

Salman Khan was missing at the premiere of Sanjay Gupta’s Woodstock Villa, starring his brother Arbaaz Khan. Except Malaika Arora Khan and Amrita Arora (who was seen with Arbaaz), no Khan member was present. The buzz is that it was the presence of the Bachchans (especially Aishwarya’s) that was the cause of Salman’s no-show.

Says a source, “Arbaaz held a trial on Thursday for the Khan family at 12.30 in the afternoon at Ketnav theatre in Bandra where everyone from Alvira and Atul Agnihotri, Salim and Salma Khan to Salman was present. After the trial, Salman drove off to his Panvel farmhouse in the evening. But the real reason that Salman and Salim Khan didn’t go for the premiere, which was such an important event for Arbaaz was because Salim Khan and Salman wanted to avoid the Bachchan family. Recently, Salim Khan had made certain disparaging remarks against Amitabh Bachchan and it would have made an awkward moment for both if they had come face-to-face.”

Apparently, Salman also wasn’t keen on coming. The source clarifies, “Though Salman shares a cordial relationship with Abhishek and a warm and affectionate relationship with the Big B, it would have made for another awkward moment if Aishwarya, the Bachchan bahu and he bumped into each other at the premiere. Rather than have so many uncomfortable moments the Khan family decided to skip the premiere.”

Arbaaz, however, says, “Salman has just returned from a long and hectic schedule of Main Aur Mrs Khanna in Australia so he couldn’t make it to the premiere. But dad and him and the rest of the family saw it at the trial at Ketnav. Also he’s currently very busy preparing for his TV show, Dus Ka Dum, which airs next week on June 6. We have seen the first episode and Salman is simply brilliant!”

Arbaaz is thrilled with the response he’s got for his performance in Woodstock Villa, where he plays Neha Uberoi’s husband. Arbaaz’s “biggest critic”, his father, Salim Khan has also liked his performance.

“Dad never gets over-enthusiastic in his praise so when he says it’s good it means a lot. He’s liked the film and my performance. It was a challenging role to play where I had to convey a lot silently through my expressions. Many have said that it’s one of my best performances in recent times.”

Malaika-Arbaaz split a publicity stunt

Mumbai: It's time for a reality check - publicity gimmicks are slowly replacing hardcore news stories.

Contrary to reports, the marriage of Arbaaz Khan and Malaika Arora is going strong and the story is a publicity gimmick for a skin cream advertisement.

Said a source close to the couple, "It's a publicity gimmick. The split rumors are from a skin cream advertisement, which Malaika and Arbaaz will endorse together."

Describing the concept of the ad, sources add, "The ad will show how the love has gone from their marriage and how they renew it again with the skincream. They will have four phases and weddings, where Arbaaz and Malaika will renew their marriage vows," added the source.

The source further reveals that parents of Arbaaz and Malaika were very upset and disturbed at the stories about their split. They had to spend the whole morning clarifying with family and friends that the story was not true.

Priyanka Chopra and cricketer Sreesanth were also part of a publicity stunt recently for a soap brand, where tapes of their 'private conversation' had been released.
