Salman Khan's Ready..Not the Clothes..

My reasons for going to watch, Ready were simple, I was won me over by Salman Khan in Dabangg, and Asin really stole the show, in Ghajini, so naturally I thought both of them together would make for a great film.

Asin & Salman Khan

I should have waited for the DVD realise. if you like your masala type movie or your a die hard salman fan then do go. Although I must say the second half Salman dons some geeky glasses, underplays himself and gets better, says it all really.

As far as songs you will be hearing "Character Dheela", "Humko Pyar Hua" and "Dhinka Chika" alot.

I wanted to take a look at the clothes in the film, and they didn't do it for me at all, and i kinda hate when that happens. Its a Bollywood movie if nothing else get the songs and clothes right. there was something a little 90's about it, here's some images for you to ponder over.

in the first scene asin as a run away bride -

engagement song and dance

trying to get married in peace..not quite happening..

the one suit i liked, this red kaftan.

Style Crush Sonam is back on track!! (if you have watched Thank You you will know what i mean) fickle i know, but hey.

Here she is at 64th Cannes Film Festival totally rocking this Jean Paul Gaultier couture gown, but its the hair and makeup I'm bowled over with, thanks to L’Oreal’s Rie Omoto who created the golden glowy L’Or L’Or L’Or look for Sonam. more about that tomorrow.

Thanks to Rhea Kapoor, Sonams sister who earlier tweeted, "Sonam is in Jean Paul Gaultier Couture, Chopard earrings, Amrapali ring and Ferragamo shoes" :)

Aishwarya Rai is one of the amazing actresses, the Bollywood film industry has ever seen. Known as the Queen of Bollywood, Aishwarya has won over millions of hearts across the nation with her sublime beauty and great acting talents. Since winning the 1994 Miss World contest, Aishwarya Rai has traveled a long way and today is a household name in India.

Today Aishwarya has reached the pinnacle of glory in Bollywood and has become one of the icons in Hindi movies. Her husband Abhishek Bachchan too is a wonderful actor just like his parents Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri.

Outrageous hottie Sherlyn Chopra has been banned from working out in two of Lokhandwala's prominent gyms. According to the manager of a well-known gym attended by many other Bollywood personalities, Sherlyn had paid for an annual membership and diligently started working out last week.

"She would come to the gym in the morning for her workout, but we had a problem controlling our own trainers who were all too keen on personally training the hottie," said Amar Chauhan one of the floor managers at an up market gym that also houses a popular coffee shop and watering hole at Lokhandwala in suburban Mumbai.

In her recently released and classily shot Pralhad Kakkar video "Outrageous", Sherlyn was seen as kick ass, no-nonsense seducer. Unfortunately, the bese scenes and frames came under the Censor Board's scissors who insisted on chopping off the really "cool" part. Sherlyn will be seen in a completely new avatar in her second video Dard which will go on air in mid-March.

List of Bollywood actresses

Bollywood is the informal term popularly used for the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The term is often incorrectly used to refer to the whole of Indian cinema; it is only a part of the total Indian film industry, which includes several regional film industries sorted by language.Bollywood is the largest film producer in India and one of the largest centers of film production in the world.

Bollywood is formally referred to as Hindi cinema,though frequent use of poetic Urdu words is fairly common. There has been a growing presence of Indian English in dialogue and songs as well. It is common to see films that feature dialogue with English words phrases, or even whole sentences. The name "Bollywood" is derived from Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood, the center of the American film industry.However, unlike Hollywood, Bollywood does not exist as a physical place. Though some deplore the name, arguing that it makes the industry look like a poor cousin to Hollywood,it has its own entry in the Oxford English Dictionary.

The term "Bollywood" has origins in the 1970s, when India overtook America as the world's largest film producer. Credit for the term has been claimed by several different people, including the lyricist, filmmaker and scholar Amit Khanna,and the journalist Bevinda Collaco.The naming scheme for "Bollywood" was inspired by "Tollywood", the name that was used to refer to the cinema of West Bengal. Dating back to 1932, "Tollywood" was the earliest Hollywood-inspired name, referring to the Bengali film industry based in Tollygunge, which rhymed with "Hollywood" and was the center of the cinema of India at the time. The name "Bollywood" later arose as the Bombay-based film industry overtook the one in Tollygunge as the center of the Indian film industry.

Tanu Weds Manu - First Look plus the song that gets everyone up at a wedding!!

A Bollywood film, is not complete without a wedding, or at least a wedding dream sequence. Soon to be released Tanu Weds Munu is no exception.

Based on the age old belief that marriages are made in heaven! even though the road to heaven might be a little “tedha’.

Directed by Anand L. Rai it stars Madhavan as Manu and Kangana Ranaut as Tanu. A love story of two completely opposite people

Tanu a smart, intelligent girl who will do everything that her parents will disapprove. With a mind of her own and a love for rebellion, she is dead against an arranged marriage.

and

Manu a seedha saadha Doctor from London. Intelligent, temperate and from a respectable family, The perfect groom which every parent wants for their daughter. ‘Family pressure’ leads him to Kanpur to meet Tanu the quintessential small town girl who has studied in Delhi.

But destiny holds something totally different for these dramatically diverse personalities. Their paths keep crossing time and again and weaves this wonderful story through the Indian heartland .

don't you think she looks rather madhuri dixit here, circa early 90's??

Madhanvan, is such an understated actor, you will have seen him last in 3 idiots (awesome film)

Kangana, known for her dramatic roles has proved her acting abilities, lets see how she fairs in comedy.

The film also features a track from the UK's very own RDB... cue music..." kadi sadi gali bhul ke vi aaya karooo... :)

Lara Dutta is getting married...but what is she wearing??!

I'm not the biggest fan of Bollywood actress Lara Dutta, but were only talking on film here, off duty she's quite the fashionistas, after hearing her planned outfit choice over her wedding period, its hard to fault her style. Most exciting of all she plans to wear Ellie Saab at her church wedding!!! I can't wait to see her in one of his ethereal designs..sigh!

Here's a quick look a what could be over the next few days...

For the registered wedding on February 17th, Lara will wear a white outfit from designer Ritu Kumar’s Falaknama collection.

For the sangeet the following day, to be held at Club Fresh in Goa, her designer of choice is Delhi’s Manav Gangwani.
