Khatta Meetha Has Good To Average Opening
July 24th, 2010Khatta Meetha opened below expectations as it managed good opening only at some places and others having an average response. The first day all India average was in the 60-70% range. The reports are below the mark so it is likely to face an uphill battle from Monday onwards. Saturday may also see drops in business. Single screens in Maharashtra may fare better.
Lamhaa had a poor first week of around 8 crore nett. The film was rejected from day one due to lack of entertainment. FLOP
Tere Bin Laden picked up after a slow start to gross around 5.25 crore nett in week one. The film was steady on weekdays.
Udaan also picked up after a slow start and managed to do around 2.25 crore nett business in week one.

Hema throws out Tell Me O Khuda director
July 23rd, 2010
Producer Hema Malini has thrown out director Mayur Puri from Tell Me O Khuda, a few days after this paper reported serious creative differences between the two.
Hema Malini’s ambitious project Tell Me O Khuda, starring her daughter Esha Deol, is in hot water. After the project ran into creative differences between the producer (Malini) and its director (Mayur Puri) the latest is that Puri has been shown the door.
The decision to oust Puri has come in the wake of the creative melee between Malini and Puri having snowballed into a nasty avalanche of bitter vibes. Puri was thrown out of the project at 4 pm yesterday at the IMPPA (Indian Motion Pictures and Producers’ Association) office, where the association and the IFTDA (Indian Film & Television Directors Association) convened to resolve the issue.
“Hema and Puri could not reconcile. It is good for both of them and the film that they are not working together anymore. Quite a few solutions were offered but there was no way that Puri could have remained the captain of the ship any longer. Puri’s money issues have been settled too.
Hema has directed Dil Aashna Hai and she has a good knowledge about direction,” says the source.
Another source close to Hema said, “Puri overshot the film. Nearly 1.5 lakh feet of footage has been shot. This skyrocketed the budget. Hema bore that with a pinch of salt, but she almost fell off her chair when she saw what Puri had shot until now.
Hema realised that Puri’s reels were nowhere close to the script he had and the canvas he had envisaged for her. “Forget the script, Puri hadn’t even shot the basic storyline he had sold Hema while being appointed to wield the megaphone,” reveals a source close to Hema.
Puri claimed that he has not overshot the film. He was making only 5.6 cans per day which is very normal. It is an ego clash. Think of it, this is not the first time that a director finds himself in the lurch. It happened with Anurag Basu, Rahul Rawail, Shekhar Kapoor (Joshilay) and Amol Gupte (Taare Zameen Par).”
Dil Aashna Hai was also incidentally ripped off from Shirley Conran’s bestseller Lace, which was later televised into a mini-series in the late 1980s. The film bombed and was ripped apart by critics.

July 23rd, 2010
Mohammad Azharuddin and Sangeeta Bijlani’s 14-year-old marriage is reportedly over. According to a highly-placed source, Azhar will be filing for divorce within a week. And a badminton champ half his age is believed to be the reason for the split.
Jwala Gutta (26), World No 7 mixed doubles player, currently married to Arjuna Award-winner badminton champ Chetan Anand, is the one who has caught the fancy of the 47-year-old former India skipper and Congress MP from Moradabad.
He is said to be so besotted with her that he has gifted her a BMW, in which she rides all around Hyderabad — something that first raised eyebrows, as mixed doubles badminton players are not a well-paid lot.

After an eight-year marriage, Azhar divorced his first wife Naureen after he started seeing Sangeeta. His messy divorce cost him two bungalows in Hyderabad’s Banjara Hills, two BMWs apart from lakhs of rupees. He has two sons from his first wife — Asaduddin and Abbasuddin. Five years after the divorce, Naureen married a Canada-based real-estate businessman.
Azhar met Sangeeta at a photo shoot where he modelled for an advertisement along with the actress, soon after which he started seeing her in 1994. Azhar was a married man, the shy and reserved sort and Sangeeta was dating Salman Khan then. After a romance that drew a lot of criticism, the two tied the knot in 1996.

July 21st, 2010Ash, in this transparent white sari with an unflattering bikini blouse underneath,looks like she’s wearing an under garment under her sari!
Kareena’z saree is divine..love her saree but the blouse is too plain.
Shruthi Hassan was spotted wearing the saree and the white sari is sheer but has embroidery to tone down the bareness. The bikini blouse is perfect. It has enough embroidery to not look like an under garment, but not too much where everybody would be peering at it.
