God please save us from Rahul Mahajan’s swayamvar!
As if it was not enough to watch Rakhi Sawant, play the coy and blushing to-be-bride for Swayamvar Season 1, now audiences will have to put up with Rahul Mahajan as the not so dashing groom to 15 aspiring girls for the Second season of Swayamvar. Hope Rahul will marry the chosen one unlikely Rakhi end up doing engagement.
Rahul’s past shenanigans may help this show strike gold. However the very fact that a person with a past as notorious as Rahul Mahajan is being elevated to the status of a celebrity raises certain question marks about our social norms.
Rahul Mahajan first burst into public view and public space as the grieving son of BJP politician, the late Pramod Mahajan. Exactly a month after his father’s death, he had to be hospitalised after an alleged cocaine overdose. This was followed by a rushed marriage and divorce to Shweta Singh cited physical abuse and mental torture as reasons.
His first appearance on television was for the controversial reality T.V. show Big Boss-2 where he came across as an incorrigible flirt, manipulative and extremely shrewd. He flirted happily shamelessly with Payel Rohatgi and Monica Bedi. He also served as the judge on Colors’s Chhote Miyan, a children’s stand-up comedy reality show. His third stint for television will be Swayamvar Season -2.
This show is being planned around him because he is purported to be a ‘celebrity’. Without that tag of celebrity hood, he is just another ordinary person with a famous surname. Rahul Mahajan is one such so called media made celebrity whose only claim to fame has been being in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Shameless Rahul confessed that there is no harm in getting married on television as he is being paid for marriage.
Well all we hope for this time is that the viewers do not feel cheated as they did when Rakhi only got engaged and now they do get to witness the big fat wedding of a scammer. Oh God bachaooo!!!!!!!

Review: Fall in ishq with “Ishqiya”
‘Ishqiya’, which combines the genres of romance and suspense, is the directorial venture of Abhishek Chaubey. This debutant director is all set to make his B-town entry with this stupendous movie. The movie Ishqiya has ample of materials to fall in ishq with it. This desi piquant black comedy is surely going to be a landmark movie in Indian cinema. It has excelled in all the field from directing to acting to storytelling. Wow the movie just rocking! It’s lingo, it’s idiom, it’s humor have made the movie a sheer eye-candy!
‘Ishqiya’ is set in the backdrop of eastern Uttar Pardesh, narrating a romantic plot where individuals get entangled in a web of crime, suspense, passion and betrayal. And what a threesome! Ishqiya has ensemble veteran Naseeruddin Shah, talented Arshad Warsi and beautiful Vidya Balan together for a cinematic delight.
Khalujan (Naseeruddin Shah) and Babban (Arshad Warsi) are two thieves on the run. They have locked horns with Mushtaq (Salman Shahid), their boss, who is now thirsty for their blood. Running for life, they plan to seek refuge at a friend’s place and escape further but instead they end up meeting his widow Krishna (Vidya Balan). Krishna plays the perfect femme fatale and lures both Khalujan and Babban, who fall for her, without realizing her dubious intentions. She is portrayed as a woman madly in love, as an object of desire and as a vision of purity.
Love blurs Khalujan’s vision of old-fashioned love and Babban’s lascivious heart and they fail to see through the smokescreen that both have been tricked by enticing Krishna. But destiny has other plans for all of them! .
Only the last few reels are so much of a rumble-tumble, they leave you both confused and somewhat dissatisfied. But that shouldn’t be counted as ‘Ishqiya’ is a pure delight to watch. Every actor in ‘Ishqiya’ has delivered a matchless sparkling performance! On the whole, ‘Ishqiya’ is definitely worth a watch. The film has a captivating plot, outstanding performances, enchanting music, a gripping story and skillful nifty direction to make the viewer fall for it. It should appeal to the hardcore movie buffs as well as the multiplex junta. Don’t miss this masterpiece in any cost! It is going to be a hypnotic experience for sure.
Desitara Rating – 4/5 (Watch in theaters)

Will Abhishek make a good host?
Junior B will make his foray into television with a new game show called “Bingo” to test your laziness quotient. National Bingo Night will replace Bigg Boss slot on COLORS. The show will see common people as well as celebrities participating in it, and is expected to start on January 23. And guess who would be his first guest on the show? It is none other than his father, Amitabh Bachchan.
Now it’s going to be challenging for Abhishek to live up to the expectation of the viewers. Do you think he can carry forward his father’s legacy as a host? Amitabh Bachchan has already set a benchmark for all the celebrities who want to try their luck in hosting TV shows. Now everyone is eagerly waiting for Abhishek’s debut as television host. Bechara Abhishek, not only in movies, Big B is giving him tough competition in this field also!
I think AB Baby’s happy go lucky nature is going to make the show more entertaining and witty. His affluence will make the contestants comfortable and will light up their mood.
All we can say to Abhishek is all the best…!!! I know he is going to rock. What do you think guys?

After Golden Globes Avatar aims for Oscars
In one night, James Cameron’s fantasy epic Avatar went from being the second highest grossing movie of all time to a serious contender for Oscar glory. The Golden Globes are often a strong measure of what the Oscars are likely to do. Now after winning Best Picture (Drama) and Best Director in Golden Globes, Avatar has strong chance to win Oscars also. Slumdog Millionaire won both those globes last year and it went on to do the same at the Oscars.
It really appreciable to see the way Hollywood is giving respect to this spectacular movie Avatar by showering awards and I hope it continues with the same. It’s not been easy to forget the huge risk Cameron took making such an expensive film. It could easily have failed.
Avatar takes us to an astonishing new world beyond our imagination. Cameron shows us that in a sci-fi world, creative dimensions are what you devise and, with his skilled and sensual avatars, he has made something to thrill and captivate us–whether it’s another billion-dollar take or not. It’s 100% genuinely undeniably categorically without-a-doubt unlike anything you’ve ever seen before and if you like graphics and special effects and stuff that’s totally new.
Avatar is certainly going to overtake the 1.8 billion dollars earned by director James Cameron’s previous movie Titanic, and become the highest earning film in history.
With all these it surely deserves to win all the awards in the upcoming Award ceremonies.
