Year on Year each New Year brings us hope and cheer of something new and good. Hey Guys and Gals, don’t worry, the critics may scare you with recession time in US of A. But Bollywood will be zooming full throttle in 2008.

It was an incident that took place during one of the shoots under the able supervision of director Gowariker that initiated the entire ruckus and created a rift between the two. Ashutosh had to film a scene where only Hrithik was needed to face the cameras though Ash was required to offer cues to her leading man.

About a week before Diwali, I had an argument with my boss. His line of reasoning- a man who’s made movies like Black and Devdas ought to know his business. Apparently not! The box office has announced its verdict. On Shanti Om has made 7+ crores in its first week in Mumbai alone, while Saawariya, which promised eternity to begin with, is now a slowly fading blur on the horizon.

I am just back from watching Om Shanti Om and one word summarizes the movie : Bollywood. If you love Bollywood, you will love this movie. Farah Khan and Shahrukh Khan delivered a total paisa (or should I say dollar) vasool movie.

Shah Rukh Khan is back, soon after Chak De India’s tremendous success. This time it is in close friend, Farah Khan’s second venture as a director—Om Shanti Om, a tale based on love and reincarnation. The film also introduces Deepika Padukone, a model-turned-actress. Deepika is the daughter of yesteryear’s Badminton champ, Prakash Padukone.

Holidays are here again and if you have been wondering what to do after all that shopping and visiting just sit back and relax but in a movie theater. This holiday has a difficult choice for you in terms of movies. The much talked about and awaited movies are now ready for release.

Two kind of movies work in Bollywood. Big star big producer movies and multi star comedies. Either you get a Yash Chopra Shahrukh Khan movie or a Akshay Kumar - Akshaye Khanna - Anil Kapoor - Arbaz Khan comedy.

India is celebrating 60 years of independence and the Bollywood fraternity too has joined the celebrations. With the team India ’s test cricket victory over England and Chak De India, the patriotism is all over the place.
