    * Mona: Mona (Lara Dutta) is Sagar’s girlfriend and a marine enthusiast. She always loves and support Sagar.

Story:

The story of Blue Hindi movie takes place at the Bahamas. In 1949, a ship named “Lady in Blue” sunk in the sea of Bahamas. The ship was carrying large amount of gold treasure. Sagar works for Aarav, who always badgers him to go and find the gold of the “Lady in Blue.” Sagar on the contrary, does not want to talk about it. He is a happy-go-lucky guy who loves Mona and dreams to have his own boat someday. Everything changes, when Sagar’s estranged brother, Sam comes to the Bahamas with Mafia boss, Gulshan (Rahul Dev) is hot on his trail for an assignment worth 50 million dollars has gone wrong. Gulshan then kidnaps Mona and then tells Sagar to return the money within twenty four hours. He has no options but to go for the treasure of the “Lady in Blue.”

About the movie:

According to Taran Adarsh, Blue Hindi movie is an out-and-out entertainer, a perfect present for your Diwali. Go to the theatres, get a ticket and enjoy the movie. Yes, it is true that the story is taken from a Hollywood movie but ignore that you will see that Blue Hindi movie is something that has never been tried before in Hindi cinema. Kudos to Anthony D’Souza, the director scored aces in his first movie. It takes a lot of courage and determination to pull off such a thing. Not only Blue Hindi movie is a big-budget movie but also stars Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt; two most respected actors in Bollywood. Blue is very well-made entertaining movie. His only complain is that the climax could have been handled better.

The best thing about the movie is its camera work and action sequences. Bollywood Hungama says:

    Anthony's expertise comes to the fore in several sequences. One sequence that needs to be singled out is when Sanju narrates the tragic past, how he was responsible for his father's death. It's simply incredible!

    Major portions of the film have been filmed in the ocean and you can't stop admiring and appreciating the enormous contribution of the underwater cinematographer [Pete Zuccarini]. The lighting in those sequences deserves special mention. Also, the underwater sequences, which feature aquatic life like puffer fish, stingrays and sharks, hold tremendous appeal. Cinematography [Laxman Utekar] is gorgeous.

Glamsham gives Blue Hindi movie 1 out of five. It says that the movie is the biggest disaster of the year. The movie has no substance, script or dialogue. It further says:

    The first hour is a drag, the following is even worse. The first scene itself is an indication of what is in store. Dutt and Akshay play with a shark! No, in fact they are shooing it away from their net! However, you wait patiently because the promos have been convincing. They then get into the boxing ring. There is no respite. From here, it moves from one weird scene to another.

    As for the story, go figure it out. I'm still trying to figure out what was in the bag that cost 50 million dollars. Worse, I can't for the life of me fathom why Zayed Khan did not look into the bag, the size of a lap top case, which Rahul Dev gave him to deliver to another person for a fee of 50,000 Dollars.

Indiaserver.com says that Blue Hindi movie is an “OK” movie. The five underwater action sequences and three bike action are something unique for a Hindi movie. It further says:

    Even though it is not a movie which falls into the category of mind-blowing commercial action thriller, I agree to the fact that it definitely offers something which is truly innovative and unique.

    Even though the storyline is a very blurred one, the action-packed movie never allows the audience to feel its absence. The USP of the movie is the perfect blend of action and an unknown world.

Thaindian News gives Blue Hindi movie a rating of 1.5 out of 5. It says that the movie has poor direction and script. The movie lacks substance and “coolness quotient.” If you are looking forward to see some well shot underwater photography and cool action sequences then you can go for it. It further says:

    A really interesting premise shot beautifully but messed big time by unimaginative writing and lackluster direction is what Blue shall always be remembered as. The setting is different no doubt, but where are the requisite twists and turns and pace which are a must for this genre of films? The so called major twist that comes out in the end can be guessed quiet earlier in the first half itself. Also, almost the entire first half moves around with zero grip on the audience with more than enough time wasted on character establishment. The much hyped shark sequences are a big let down what with barring the opening sequence of few minutes (where believe it or not Akshay and Dutt literally ride a shark) there is not a single scene where the sharks are a threat and get you on the edge of your seat. The bike chase sequences have been shot very well though. The underwater sequences have been superbly lit up and one needs to salute the team of cameramen involved for it. The climax is extremely “thanda’ and derives unintentional laughter as well. Songs don’t really fit in well and the Kylie Minogue starring Chiggy Wiggy number doesn’t really work on screen. However, the background music and sound editing is excellent.

Stardust gives Blue Hindi movie a three star rating. It says:

    The direction of Anthony D’souza shows spark of genius in his first outing. He shows his commitment and grand vision in aquatic sequences, which must have been very difficult to shoot. The bike chase sequence and the other chase sequence on the running train are worth mentioning in this regard.

    It must have taken a lot of courage from Anthony D’souza to envisage a marine action thriller on a scale which has never been done in bollywood so far. Even his handling of emotional sequence (Sanju relating his past) is very good. But climax needed some more punch from the director and could have been more impressive.

So far, this is the most negative review of the movie is given by Economic Times. It said that the large amount of money spent on the movie is a total waste. It further says:

    In absence of a sane screenplay, the viewer is subjected to burnout action sequences and bike chases. By the time the oceanic treasure-hunt initiates in the climax, you see blue since the film is 'in deep water'. Sadly the authentic aquatic life is put to no active use as even the sharks seem to be harmlessly herbivorous. Rather the regular hero-villain combats are replicated in the oceans to no groundbreaking effect with the marine life playing passive spectators to the proceedings.

    Mayur Puri's casual conversational dialogues sans any cinematic significance and the minimal background score fail to induce depth to the drama. The supposed suspense in the narrative is almost obvious from the start. A R Rahman's musical score is plain passable this time. The art design by Narendra Rahurikar is decent. Laxman Utekar's cinematography is fascinating as he captures the Bahamas beaches beautifully in his lens and uses effective close up frames on the cast. Designer Rina Dhaka deserves special mention for styling Lara Dutta at her sexiest best in those white, red, pink and bejeweled bikinis.

Performance:

In terms of performance, Blue Hindi movie is nothing extraordinary but not disastrous either. Bollywood Hungama says:

    Sanjay Dutt carries his part well, although he looks very well-fed in some scenes. Akshay Kumar steals the show with a sterling performance. This would easily classify amongst his best works. Zayed Khan is highly competent. This, despite the fact that he's sharing the screen space with two hugely experienced actors.

    Lara Dutta has never looked so good before. Though the story revolves around the guys, you can't overlook Lara's small but significant contribution to the film. Katrina Kaif [sp. app.] looks gorgeous and performs exceedingly well. The feminine charm [at the start specifically] would send the youth in a frenzy. Rahul Dev is first-rate. Kabir Bedi is hardly there.

Glamsham says:

    The quality of the acting is what you would put up in a school play. Akshay Kumar is always dressed like a bandmaster, Sanjay Dutt is left to find his left foot as he struggles to groove to the beat (where was the choreographer?) and Lara Dutta is busy changing into stylish two-piece suits (the skimpy ones) to get underwater. If she is not in her swimming attire, she is busy shaking her body like a girl lost in a pub. As for Zayed Khan, he gives one the feeling that he is hanging around with a bunch of his school buddies. Oh yes, somewhere along the way Katrina Kaif also shows up with Rahul Dev. There's also Kylie Minogue. Did she know what she was getting into? I'm sure, she too is feeling blue!

    BLUE is a picnic in the Bahamas for the cast and crew. I guess director Anthony D'Souza told the cast, 'Just get in front of the camera and do whatever you want.' All four are very unconvincing and you can even see them squirm in some scenes. Sanjay Dutt, I'm sure, will be hiding his face in his hands if he ever watches this film in its complete state. Never has he ever been so bored in a role.

Stardust says:

    Akshay Kumar, who plays the character of a rich and ambitious businessman Aarav, has given a superlative performance. His underwater daredevilry is just unmatched and makes him stands out amongst the macho bunch of bollywood biggies. He looks completely in control of the situation and never overacts.

    Sanjay Dutt, who plays the part of Akshay’s friend and employee, Sagar, performs his part with consummate ease. Sanjay is superb, where he relates story about his father’s death and his past trauma due to that. However, a little bit of trimming of his body would have shown him in more favorable light as a deep sea diving expert.

    Zayed Khan, who plays the younger brother Sameer (Sam) of Sanjay Dutt, looks perfect for the part. His love for the bikes looks natural for his personality and age as shown in the flick. Zayed is able to hold his own ground even before Akki and Sanju in the film.

    Rahul Dev, who plays the character of drug lord in the film, has portrays his character with requisite cruelness and villainous flavor. The audience would love to hate him.

DNA says:

    For the actor himself, the film is a new low. Every time you step in to watch a Kumar film now, you are expecting something nonsensical, but you hope it at least entertains you in the bargain. After disappointing you every time in his last - we've lost count now - few films, this one just makes you hope that he'll finally realise that a film also needs a script!

    Sanjay Dutt looks bloated, and no effort goes into ensuring that the paunch is somewhat hidden. He, however, puts in a decent effort. Zayed Khan is as far from being cool as the amount of effort he puts into looking it. Lara Dutta provides the appropriate eye candy to save the film from being a complete washout.

Conclusion:

In simple words, Blue Hindi movie may not be something extra-ordinary but it is very much enjoyable for its underwater scenes and beautifully shot action sequences.

2009-10-30T10:52:00.000-07:00

2009-10-18T20:29:00.000-07:00

Kareena Kapoor, a sizzling Lara Dutt and Bipasha Basu and even Katrina Kaif with a special appearance by Kylie Minologue thrown in for the festive spirit. Phew! Three releases and much debate, will they work the box-office magic? Is three, company or competition? With close to Rs 200 crore riding, not a celebratory year so far, a nail-biting climax to 2009 is what everyone is expecting from Bollywood.

Ashtavinayak’s Blue with its huge reported cost of production (COP) of Rs 85 crore was, of course, the high risk one.

Followed by Ajay Devgan’s All the Best, at Rs 40 crore, and Sohail Khan’s Main Aur Mrs Khanna, also at Rs 40 crore. Add print and publicity, which in layman’s terms means ‘hype’ , and the numbers just skyrocket by crores, specially Blue, which is believed to have spent close to Rs 15-18 crore in creating the buzz.

So what are the Friday soothsayers saying? First the plexes, which collectively contribute above 60% of all opening figures. The buzz spend on Blue looks like its worked with a reported 85% opening across screens. While Ajay Devgan has managed to tickle the funny bone of viewers and also got a decent opening of 50%, Salman and Kareena have managed to woo an average 35% as well.

“Since all three films are from different genres , we’ve given them an equal number of shows. Each film has 150 shows across our 76 screens,” says Devang Sampat, senior vicepresident , Cinemax, who agrees Blue’s has worked for now.
Yet, the sweat on the brow is for Blue, with close to Rs 100 crore invested can Dhillin Mehta, chief executive officer of Ashtavinayak Cine Vision recover his money?

For one, IDBI, his bankers who have lent the highest they have to any film (Rs 40 crore) have been given back their money. But the risks all lie with Mr Mehta. His two distributors-PVR who have picked up North and UP and Shemaroo which has picked up International have struck a deal of advance payment.

This means if Blue draws viewers, then whatever their losses they will be paid back by Mr Mehta unlike a minimum guarantee where the risks is shared. Mr Mehta though is not scared. He is, in fact, confident with the response of 1800 print and 2,250 screens cashing in big for him. “Cash flows are not a problem in Diwali and the response has surpassed our initial expectations. All morning shows on Friday have been running to full houses across the country,” says a confident Mehta who had just come out of a meeting with his distributors.

While Mr Mehta’s calculates half his net return from theatrical revenue and also sees a big chunk coming from satellite, the industry opinion is divided, with Blue not really being a satellite audience movie.
Adding all revenues, Mr Mehta’s supporters see his big budget gamble possibly break even with some Luck thrown in, while industry sees at least a Rs 20-25-crore loss.

Shemaroo Entertainment, which holds the international distribution rights for Blue, is making sure they go all out. “For such a big-budget film where the stakes are high you need to go all out which we are doing,” says Hiren Gada, director , Shemaroo.

The film saw a day and date release in over 20 countries and also a Tamil and Telugu release.

For Salman and Ajay meanwhile, the risk factor is less and the genres have been tried and tested. Sohail Khan has already netted in Rs 11 crore from music and home video rights of Main Aur Mrs Khanna. With a decent opening, looks like both All the Best and Main Aur Mrs Khanna will do a decent collection.

Kareena Kapoor endorses Kurkure Desi Beats

2009-10-18T11:10:00.000-07:00

A while ago, we had informed you of PepsiCo India Holdings having appointed Kareena Kapoor as their new brand ambassador for its snack food products. However, it was unclear as to which sub-brand she would be promoting. Now finally the cat's out of the bag!
Kareena has been brought onboard as the new face for PepsiCo Snack Foods, particularly for its famous product Kurkure. However, Juhi Chawla who has been associated with the brand Kurkure for nearly five years will continue to be the face of the brand. Juhi and Kareena would together look at endorsing the entire portfolio, though the details haven't been chalked out.
Kareena, being the face of the young, Gen-Next India has been roped in to promote 'Kurkure Desi Beats'. In fact the TVC has Kareena playing a character similar to popular story book character 'Cinderella'. She is shown as the maid of the house, while her stepsisters have all the fun. The 'desi' twist in the story is when singer Ila Arun comes to the rescue as her godmother.
She offers Kareena a packet of 'Kurkure Desi Beats' to spice up her life. The Englishmen and her stepsisters are having a boring dance, when 'desi' girl Kareena arrives in Indian attire and adds the much needed spark to the party. The ad film ends with the tagline - 'No Fun, Without Desipann'.One will have to wait and watch if Kareena is able to bring in her charisma to keep Brand Kurkure rocking.

Exhausted Priyanka goes into a hiding after Fashion and Dostana

2009-10-18T11:08:00.000-07:00

Priyanka Chopra is on cloud nine after the superb success of ‘Fashion’ and ‘Dostana’. The sexy actress has gone into a hiding by choice after churning out six back to back releases this year and exhausting herself to the hilt.
In an interview given to a news daily the actress gushed “I’m exhausted and really tired. I think I’ll go into hiding for six months till my next film releases which is almost in mid 2009 and that will be ‘Kaminey’”.
Though the actress will be shooting on and off for ‘Kaminey’ and ‘What’s Your Rashee?’ she will be taking some time off to rejuvenate as none of her flicks are lined up for release as of now. When asked about her unwinding plans, the actress said “There are a lot of things that I have been wanting to do since long, hopefully I’ll be able to try out some of them during this breather”.
In the meanwhile, the actress will be seen making a special appearance in Aditya Chopra’s Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’. “Not that I am going away or something like that, I am going to be pretty much around; it is just that I want to take it a little easy” is what the actress had to say when asked about her plans to go off track. Well with so much of hard work gone in, that is the least Priyanka can ask for, can’t she?

Deepika wants to be female Akshay Kumar

2009-10-18T11:01:00.000-07:00

Deepika Padukone is a fast learner indeed the actress seems to have perfected the twisty diplomatic ways of B-town quite fast. The long legged lass, who gained an easy access to Bollywood’s A-list directors and actors courtesy her dream debut flick OSO opposite SRK, has now switched sides and is swearing by loyalties to ‘Kinng’ Akshay Kumar. The actress who will be seen in an all-new avatar in her upcoming flick opposite Akshay appears to be hell bent upon impressing Akshay. Even if she needs to ditch her godfather SRK, Dips seems to have no second thoughts about it. In a desperate attempt to allure Akki, the dusky beauty said, " I want to be the female Akshay Kumar".
The yet to be established actress, who until now had been an active member of the SRK camp, is much too smitten by Akshay’s irresistible macho charms. Speaking or rather gloating about how the ‘khiladi’ inspires her, Dips said, " It’s a once in a life time opportunity to do an action sequences with Akshay and I am glad I got that chance".
Currently enjoying the crest of success with both her flicks doing a decent business at the Box Office, Deepika is now vying for the Akki success factor (that until now has been booked by Katrina Kaif). Well going by Akshay’s skyrocketing career, we don’t blame Deepika for indulging in such sycophancies. Surely it is a tad too much for the perfect stepping stone Shah Rukh provided her. What say Shah Rukh?

Akshay impresses Hollywood action director-Akki’s stunts in ‘Blue’ leave Hollywood action director impressed

2009-08-24T16:05:00.000-07:00

Akshay Kumar’s knack of flirting with danger has won him another admirer - Hollywood action director James Bomalick.

Bomalick, who choreographed the stunts in the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie starrer Mr and Mrs Smith, was completely bowled over by Akshay Kumar’s passion and enthusiasm for action while doing the stunts in the upcoming adventure thriller Blue.

“James felt that Akshay was the answer to Hollywood action heroes. What impressed him was Akshay’s meticulous dedication to performing action scenes in the film,” a unit member is quoted by a news agency.

The source added that Akshay was equally dedicated in ensuring the safety of the crew while doing the stunts.

“The way he took interest in knowing details about the action scenes… how he always was more interested in making it safe for unit members rather than himself,” the unit member said.

Akshay’s hunger and penchant for the death defying stunts floored Bomalick.

“James was stunned by Akshay’s confidence in doing some of the most dangerous stunts that main heroes would not do otherwise,” the member said.

Many of the action scenes were shot underwater and some had the actor swimming with sharks. While shooting one such scene underwater Akshay even hurt himself and began to bleed and had to be pulled up to keep him away from the sharks that smell blood very fast.

The movie also stars Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta and Zayed Khan. Katrina Kaif has a guest appearance.

Saif looks beyond Kareena-Too much of each other is not good for their careers

2009-08-24T15:58:00.000-07:00

No matter how much Saif Ali Khan wants Kareena Kapoor to be part of his every production, the professional side of the actor knows that doing so would be akin to committing hara-kiri.

He’s already done Tashan with her (though that’s another matter that it was Akshay who romanced Bebo while Saifu twiddled his thumbs), and has paired with her again in director Rensil D’Silva’s film Kurbaan. This apart, Saif’s second home production Agent Vinod will have Bebo playing a spunky role opposite him.

And since Saif and Bebo haven’t kept their affair secret, the actor is wary of the fact that people will get tired of seeing them together too often.

“…there is so much Saif-Kareena going on even off-screen that no good director will be least interested in casting us,” Saif makes a candid admission to a Mumbai tabloid.

So the duo is learnt to have taken a conscious and career-driven decision of doing films with other actors too. While Kareena is already working with the likes of Aamir Khan (in 3 Idiots), Salman Khan (Main Aur Mrs Khanna), it is Saif who has to find more leading ladies that look good with him, or with whom he looks good.

Akshay Kumar wants only Katrina Kaif

2009-08-24T15:54:00.000-07:00

Of all the beautiful babes in Bollywood, Katrina Kaif still remains Akshay Kumar’s numero uno choice as co-star.

Though Katrina is in the top league of Bollywood actresses today, she is seldom credited for it. Often we hear rants about how Katrina struck fame by cashing in on the popularity of a crowd-puller like Akshay Kumar .

But, may be, it worked the other way round too. That Akshay while being the star to which Kat hitched her wagon also benefited from her as a co-star. How otherwise could one explain Akshay’s failed jodis with the likes of Deepika Padukone and Ayesha Takia in the last two of his releases – Chandni Chowk To China and 8x10 Tasveer respectively.
Now, perhaps Akshay himself has realized that he needs Kat as much she needs him for a successful Bollywood career. For when director Priyadarshan asked Akshay which actress he would like to have in the film De Dana Dan before the movie’s shoot began, Akshay had just one name on his lips.

Your guess is as good as ours.

Of course, today we know that Katrina Kaif is the film’s heroine and has already shot one schedule of the film and is currently filming its second schedule in Singapore. But she may not have landed the role if Akshay hadn’t recommended her to Priyadarshan.

The director confirms that Katrina was signed for ‘De Dana Dan’ after Akshay’s recommendation. He says he’s happy to have made that choice because, in his words, Akshay and Katrina share a “terrific chemistry on screen”.

Well, we all know that.

Stefania Fernandez is Miss Universe 2009

2009-08-24T15:46:00.000-07:00

Miss Venezuela, Stefania Fernandez, has been crowned Miss Universe 2009 making it a historical second win in a row for Venezuela. Miss Australia, Rachael Finch, and Miss Puerto Rico, Mayra Matos Perez shared the first runner-up title, with the title of second runner-up going to Miss Kosovo, Gona Dragusha.

The new Miss Universe is an 18 year old beauty who is of Russian, Ukrainian, Galician and Polish origin.

Watch a video of her being crowned on the next page.

Venezuela is renowned for it’s stunning women, they have won five Miss Universe titles, five Miss World and four Miss International crowns -- more than any other country.

Disappointingly, Miss India Universe, Ekta Choudhry, failed to make it to the Top 15 at the pageant held at Atlantis, Paradise Island, Bahamas.

Stefania was crowned by Miss Universe 2008, Venezuelan, Dayana Mendoza who is now free to do her first topless shoot.

Congrats Stefania!

You must be wondering about whom we are talking, well, its a person whose name also starts with ‘S’ just like Katrina Kaif’s beau Salman Khan and without whom the lady can’t step out.

It’s a girl named Sandhya for the mademoiselle - a friend, confidante and her entire entourage. While other actors and actresses are accompanied with a group of people while they travel: a valet, bodyguard, agents and secretary; Kat has this super woman as her manager and thus, she needs no one else.

“Sandhya can fix everything from a switch in the house to organizing my daily affairs with super-efficiency,” the actress was quoted as saying.

You wouldn’t believe that even for a small conversation with an air hostess, Kat asks Sandhya. The angelic beauty is very much dependent on her as she takes care of every little thing and makes sure her Katrina is never alone.

Oh! She makes her complete.

Katrina Rags Ranbir-She’s senior to him in the industry

Finally, Katrina Kaif has got someone to boss around.

An actress who has worked with actors much senior to her (Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Govinda…and other Bollywood fuddy-duddies) Katrina is now pairing up with guys her age.

Her dostana with Ranbir Kapoor was for real on the sets of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. A source from the film’s unit says that in the initial days of the shoot, Katrina would not let pass by any opportunity to rag Ranbir. Since he’s only two-films old in the industry where Katrina has struggled for six years, she would mockingly boss him around, and he would feign subservience. It created quite a funny atmosphere on the sets of the film which is a rom-com.

“With Ranbir, I can be myself. I guess it’s the age and the film’s a comedy…” Katrina is quoted as saying by Delhi Times.

Surprisingly, Katrina admitted in a recent interview that she doesn’t even gel so well with Akshay Kumar, her favourite co-star, as she does with the younger lot like Ranbir and Neil Nitin Mukesh (her New York co-star).

“When I get talking with Akshay, he says ‘oh Katrina, go and talk to Jenny (Akshay’s fitness trainer, a firang)’. But with the young actors I can really talk my stuff,” Katrina had said.

While shooting with Katrina, Ranbir also became quite fond of her.

“She’s a treat,” he told the news daily.

Well, Salman Khan and Deepika Padukone need not worry.

Katrina Kaif knocked out

2009-08-22T15:46:00.000-07:00

Well not many can knock off Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif off her feet, but one boy got successful recently while she visited Houston for Indian Independence Day parade.

    Katrina confirms, ‘Yes I was knocked off my feet. And I did fall. And considering it was a 12-year-old boy half my size, it did kinda take me by surprise. But I didn’t mind at all. I guess it showed the force of his love for me.’

    ‘When you go for these fan interactions you can’t be finicky about people getting too close and not giving you space, etc etc. They do want to shake hands, get themselves clicked, sign papers. I love to mingle with them. And I did so to my heart’s content in Houston and Chicago. So what if some of them got over-excited? Shows how much they love me.’

    There were kids and there were old people. They all reached out.”

Well looks like the tour was quite memorable for Katrina. So folks from Houston did you see Katrina getting knocked off??

The Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan offered prayer at the most sacred shrine of the Sikhs.

SRK was shooting for Yashraj’s film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in Amritsar. The superstar and the film’s crew, including the leading lady Anushka Sharma , took out time from work on Tuesday to visit the Golden Temple.

SRK and Anushka were modestly dressed and had their heads covered.

SRK is the third Khan from Bollywood to have visited the holy shrine in the last few years. Aamir Khan was the first to not just visit the Golden Temple he also shot for a few sequences of Rang De Basanti at the Gurudwara’s sarovar.

Then, Salman Khan visited the Golden Temple in the first quarter of 2006, when he shot a scene for Rajkumar Santoshi ’s film London Dreams which has now been taken over by Vipul Amrutlal Shah .

‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ marks the comeback of Aditya Chopra to direction after Mohabattein . The film is being made under the Yashraj Films banner.

Kick-starting her first promotional tour for her new album 'Dard-e-Sherlyn', the 'outrageous' singer and actress Sherlyn Chopra made an appearance to a packed audience this week at Club Tantra discotheque at the esteemed Park Hotel in Kolkata.

Sending the audiences in what her organisers termed as an "orgasmic frenzy", the firebrand grooved two remixes of the "Dard-e-Sherlyn" title track by DJs Akbar Sami and Pramz with aplomb.

But the highlight of her appearance remained her controversial trademark diamond-studded bikini top. It can be recalled that her show organisers had panicked last week about the bold and flamboyant girl wearing this bikini top along with her golden hot pants that she has famously worn in the new superhit video of her remix album.

Apart from expecting trouble from unruly crowds due to the skimpy attire, the organisers had felt it was very risky for her to wear the bikini top as it is actually studded with a couple of real diamonds on the sides. For the sake of safety, Sherlyn was provided eight bouncers besides the stage and four civil dress security men in the audience.

"Luckily, the stringent security measures paid off and there was no untoward incident. The crowds cheered and danced with her while Sherlyn interacted with them, even asking them some naughty questions in between her songs. After the show, Sherlyn told me, she wickedly enjoyed to her heart's content," informed the actress's publicist Dale Bhagwagar.

With the first leg of the tour emerging a success, the organizers are hopeful that the rest of it, spanning five other prominent cities of Chandigarh, Pune, Vizag, Hyderabad and Mumbai, moves as smoothly.

For the record, after the runaway success of her first album 'Outrageous' on T-Series, Sherlyn emerged a diva, out to make men go weak in their knees. The second album 'Dard-e-Sherlyn' is her tribute to the original dreamgirl Hema Malini and takes off from her 1976 hit song "Mujhe dard rehta hai, dil mein dard rehta hai…" from the film 'Dus Numbri'. But the "Dard-e-Sherlyn" video has already attracted 19 cuts from the Censor Board and also invited the ire of Hema Malini. The new remix video is set to hit our TV screens next week.
