As per reports, Johnny Depp is having second thoughts in returning to the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise as (the now famous) Captain Jack Sparrow. I must say that this is the very franchise that shot Johnny to fame six years ago. Wonder what he has in his mind?

Well, the new Pirates movie is set to be the first in a new trilogy of movies. Let us hope that Johnny finally reprises his role rather than sit out on another fun-tastic adventure in the Caribbean. What say guys?

Here’s a great & exclusive hot promo of the upcoming Akshay Kumar and Kareen Kapoor starrer, Kambakkht Ishq.

The film also features Hollywood stalwart, Sylvester Stallone in a pivotal role and depicts Akshay as playing a movie stuntman in Hollywood. Hollywood hottie, Denise Richards is also in the movie.

Watch the exclusive promo right here.

Indiafm or Bollywood Hungama has just premiered an exclusive title song promo of the forthcoming Akshay Kumar starrer, Chandni Chowk to China.

Watch the video:

The debut movie of maverick director Farhan Akhtar (in which he has a starring role) ,Rock On!!, has connected well with the youths and the multiplex audience of the nation. The other movies released along side it have, however, failed to convince people to buy the ticket.

C Kkompany has had a better faring that Chamku which incidently didn’t even manage to stay in theaters for more than 3 days. Both the movies have bombed badly!

ROCK ON!! did exceptional over the weekend at all major centres and Monday onwards, centres like Mumbai, Pune, Delhi and Bangalore reported 70% + occupancy, while mini-metros has been 30%-40%, which is favourable as well. Yes, single screens aren’t encouraging, but the business at plexes more than compensates it.

All this points to the fact that Farhan Akhtar has arrived. As an actor!

Another interesting promo I came across is for the forthcoming Sanjay Dutt and Imran Khan starrer, Kidnap. The promo shows Imran Khan in a new avatar, what with his chocolate-boy looks gone. Sanjay looks super hot! This will be his first film this year and it sure looks promising.

Without further intro, watch the promo:

This is the second promo for Himesh Reshammiya’s forthcoming Karzzzz. It shows another insight into the movie. Although the song is the same as the first promo of Karzzzz.

Well, here’s some more good news for Akshay. Apart from Singh Is Kinng raking in the moolah by the truck loads in US, UK, Gulf and Australia, it is also making dollars (or Pak Rupees) in Pakistan as well:

SINGH IS KINNG is ruling the hearts. In India. In U.K. In America. In Gulf. In Australia. And also Pakistan. Here’s the proof. First, let’s have a look at the day-wise collections in Pakistan:-
Friday: 9,39,748; Saturday: 18,20,881; Sunday: 21,70,047; Monday: 13,10,783; Total: 62,41,459.

For a detailed insight into the collections of Singh Is Kinng in Pakistan, you can always go here. This does bolster the argument that Akshay is as big a draw at the Box Office as Shahrukh Khan or Salman Khan are.

I have been a fan of Akshay ever since I saw his movie, Khiladi. Since then, there’s been no turning back for me. I admit there had been movies within a phase from 1995 to 2000 which have been outright turkeys (and I did happen to see those to my utter disappointment). But then what’s fan who deserts his idol in his odd days? Not me. I am In with the Kinng! All Hail to the Kinng, Akshay!

The Dark Knight amassed another record to it’s list full of records by breaking the record of reaching US$ 200 million in 5 days instead of the previous 8 days held by Pirates of the Carribean 2, Spider-Man 3 and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Here is the Video “Chalti Kya” from God Tussi Great Ho starring Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra

In this song promo, you can see Salman, Priyanka and Sohail Khan.

The critics have been generously heaping insult after insult on the new release of last Friday, Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag. It seems they have armed themselves with enough munition that Bush used to topple Saddam in Iraq!

Well, whatever they say, watch the movie to see Amitabh Bachchan in his first full fledged negative role. This movie is a director’s vision which should not be super imposed on the masterpiece called Sholay. In recent times there have been numerous remakes of extremely well made classics in Hollywood too. The critics there do not discourage the remake-rs from remaking a movie.

Watch this movie for what it is. Another, gangster drama based somewhat on the pattern of Sholay. It is NOT Sholay and should not be watched as such.

If you watch it as an independent movie, you can see it without any problems. Never mind the minor similarities to the original.

By the way, did you know Sholay was itself inspired from an earlier Raj Khosla movie starring ‘Garam’ Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna as ‘Jabbar Singh’ called “Mera Gaon Mera Desh”?

Well never mind the similar sounding names, Jabbar and Gabbar. If you look at it this way, the greatest classic of all time produced by Bollywood was itself inspired from the earlier movie and in part from the Hollywood Classic, “The Magnificient Seven” which was in turn based on “The Seven Samurai”!

Let people exist. Let them express their creativity. You can easily decide after reading this article that creativity is inspired most of the time.
