TOP CRITICAL ACCLAIMED MOVIES OF 2013
After listing down the five most grossing movies of 2013, we now get you the most critical acclaimed movies of the year. In the year where one side many movies managed to cross the 200cr mark, there were also many movies which couldn't do that great business at the box-office, but got applauds from the critics.
1: "Kai Po Che"
1: "Kai Po Che"
Cast: Sushant Singh Rajput, Amit Sadh, Raj Kumar Yadav, Amrita Puri
Abhishek Kapoor's "Kai Po Che", was based on Chetan Bhagat's novel "The 3 Mistakes of My Life". Well, it is said that it's difficult to convert a book into a movie, but this movie proved the statement wrong. From direction to acting, everything was perfect in this movie. Critics too gave the movie a thumps up. But, it couldn't do any wonders at the box-office and collected only Rs. 50cr.
2: "Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster Returns"
Cast: Jimmy Shergill, Mahi Gill, Irrfan Khan, Soha Ali Khan
After the success of the first part "Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster", Tigmanshu Dhulia planned the sequel to the film titled as "Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster Returns". Like the first installment of the movie, this one too got a lot of critical appreciation. The Royal setting of the film and the acting of the lead actors was something to look forward for. But still this movie couldn't do a good business at the box-office and only collected Rs. 19cr.
3: "Raanjhanaa"
Cast: Dhanush, Sonam Kapoor, Abhay Deol
"Tanu Weds Manu" director Anand L. Rai came up with another romantic movie "Raanjhanaa" this year. The movie starred an unusual pairing of Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor. Based in the backdrop of Varanasi, this movie was one of the best romantic movies made in Bollywood. Above all was A. R. Rahman's exceptional music.
"Raanjhanaa" was liked by critics as well as the audiences, but couldn't collect anything more than Rs. 65cr at the box-office.
4: "Madras Cafe"
Cast: John Abraham, Nargis Fakhri
Shoojit Sircar's "Madras Cafe" was based on the assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. The movie saw John Abraham and Nargis Fakhri in the lead roles. The movie got tremendous critical acclaimed because of its strong concept and performances and also opened well at the box-office because of the positive word of mouth. But, once again this critical acclamation did not work in favors of the film and it did an average business of Rs. 45cr at the box-office.
5: "The Lunchbox"
Cast: Irrfan Khan, Nimrat Kaur, Nawazuddin Siddiqui
Can you fall in love with someone you have never met? Well before watching this movie everyone would have answered a 'No'. Two lonely people connect with each other because of a lunchbox. Ritesh Batra's beautiful style of storytelling was loved by each and every critic. However this movie ended up collecting only Rs. 20cr at the box-office.
6: "Shahid"
Cast: Rajkummar Rao
Hansal Mehta's "Shahid" was a biographical movie, based on the life of a lawyer and human rights activist, Shahid Azmi. This movie showed the lawyer's journey from being accused as a terrorist to being a lawyer fighting for human rights. Rajkummar Rao's acting in this film got an overwhelming response from the critics. One can surely say that this is the most critical acclaimed film of the year. Though being praised by critics, this film only managed to earn only Rs. 4cr at the box-office. However Shahid was made on a budget of mere Rs. 80 lakhs.
Watch this space for the top actors and actresses of 2013.

Would you like to see this jodi onscreen...??
Many times 'Deepika Padukone' has expressed her desire to work with Salman, but unfortunately the actress has not got that opportunity yet.

WILL SRK & SALMAN COME TOGETHER ONSCREEN?
The stars 'Shah Rukh Khan' and 'Salman Khan' were last seen together onscreen shaking a leg in a song in Farah Khan’s 'Om Shanti Om". Both the actors were not in talking terms from a long time due to a fight which took place between them.
But this year at an Eid party both the actors hugged each other and showed a friendly gesture. And now there are rumours around that the two will share screen space yet again in Farah Khan’s upcoming movie "Happy New Year".
In "Om Shanti Om", there was a song where many B-Town celebs made an appearance and now for ‘HNY’, Farah and SRK both are planning for a similar dance number. In ‘OSO’, SRK had invited every popular actor to make an appearance in the song. So now for their next movie it will be interesting to see that which B-Town celebs are invited.
"Happy New Year" is scheduled to release in mid-2014 and also stars Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman Irani and Sonu Sood in pivotal roles.

Gauahar Khan Wins Bigg Boss 7
Gauahar Khan is the winner of Bigg Boss 7 Finalle
The wait of hundred and four days is over as "Bigg Boss 7" has finally got its winner and the winner is Gauahar Khan. Tanisha Mukherji came a close second, Ajaz Khan third, and Sangram Singh fourth. Sangram lost his chance of winning the coveted title, as he could not manage to woo the audience and got very few votes, the other three were very close. It was a keenly fought contest between Gauahar and Tanisha and in the end there has to be only one winner, so here we are letting our readers know the winner before hand.
Yes it is true, the winner of the most controversial season of "Bigg Boss 7" is none other than GUAHAR KHAN.
Her journey has been full of up’s and down’s, but she made her presence felt from the day she entered the house. Wrong or right, Gauahar Khan always had a voice and she never thought of speaking her mind out.
The most emotional moment during the finalle would be when Ajaz Khan’s son Alexander would come and greet his father on stage. Along with the crowning of Gauahar, the audiences would be enthralled with a number of performances.
Salman Khan would be performing with a bunch of this season’s contestants on some of his chartbuster songs.
Elli Avram will have two acts, one solo and the other one with Salman Khan himself. In the solo act she would dance on a medley of songs like "Hawa Hawai" and "Dhak Dhak Karne Laga". With Salman Khan she will perform on the song Mashallah from the movie Ek Tha Tiger, originally performed by Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in the same movie.
Armaan Kohli too gets a change to get Dabangg and shake with Salman Khan on Desi Beat from Salman’s movie Bodyguard.
Best friends Pratyusha Banerjee and Kamya Punjabi too get a chance to perform with the superstar on the hit track "Fevicol Se" from the movie Dabangg 2.
Kushal Tandon will be seen performing with his ladylove Gauahar Khan on "Hum Tere Bin Ab Reh Nahi Sakte" from the film Aashiqui 2.
Here’s wishing Gauahar Khan all the best on her win.
Tanishaa or Sangram - Who will win in Big Boss?
Who will win Bigg Boss: Tanishaa or Sangram?
As "Bigg Boss season 7" is inching closer to the finale, the top four contestants are fighting it out to win the coveted prize on the most controversial and popular reality show on Television.
As 'VJ Andy' was the latest to get evicted from the show, Gauahar, Tanishaa, Ajaz Khan and Sangram Singh are the final four contenders. But keeping aside Gauahar and Ajaz (one's a drama queen and the other live cartoon network); we think the final battle will be between Tanishaa and Sangram. But the question remains, from the two, who will go forward to win?
What you think friends who will be the winner of this finallleeee...???

Dhoom 3 - Movie Reviews
Dhoom3 Ratings - ***
Opening on the debt ridden illusionist (Jackie Shroff, first-rate), and his prodigy son Sahir, “Dhoom 3” quickly discards any substantiality of the plot in favor of superficially sexy-looking escape sequences of the movie’s lead crook – a grown up version of Sahir played by Aamir Khan with a constant furrow and a skewered expression.
Sahir is his father’s son, and discrediting the films’s opening about their family circus being debt ridden by a nefarious bank, he is running a modern day grandstand version of the circus to packed houses. He is also, quite openly, raiding the bank that forced his father to put a bullet to his head.
Regardless of being set in Chicago, where ANY bank’s security would be a tad better than India’s (I think), Sahir loots the place, threatens them in Hindi, places a joker’s mask as his mark, and scales the building down without concealing his identity. If the heist feels anticlimactic, it’s because we didn’t see how Sahir thwarted the bank’s security measures. In fact, we never see him committing any robbery in “Dhoom 3”. He just, quite simply, escapes.
Anyways, the bank and police – who are adept at ramming their own service vehicles every time Sahir is on the run – are baffled. Who is this unmasked burglar? Maybe someone forgot to think about surveillance tapes, or questioning people on the streets he drops in on. (A social security check on would-be suspects would have worked wonders, if anyone would’ve bothered to have asked me).
Instead, feeling trumped, they bring Indian super-cop Jai Dixit (Abhishek Bachchan) and his love-ready, bike Savvy partner Ali (Uday Chopra) over for some bland play-acting. (And before I forget, the cast includes the cameo-esque screen-time of lead actress Katrina Kaif, who plays Aaliya, the high-wire acrobat who falls for Sahir).
In a series of juvenile scenes, Jai finds Sahir out, but doesn’t arrest him; (because, if Jai nabs Sahir now, the next cut would be the end credits).

AAMIR SAYS "DHOOM 3" TICKET PRICES ARE NOT EXPENSIVE
"DHOOM 3" TICKET PRICES ARE NOT EXPENSIVE
There were rumours suggesting that the ticket prices of "Dhoom 3" are hiked like other big banner movies (like Chennai Express or Krissh 3). But, the rumours turn out to be false. In single screens and multiplexes, the ticket prices of "Dhoom 3" are in the usual price bracket of Rs. 50 - Rs. 380 depending on the show timing and theatre.
The makers of the movie were shocked when they came to know about these rumours.
"Dhoom 3" is the first Bollywood movie to release in IMAX theatres and as IMAX format is expensive, the ticket prices in these theatres would be in the price range of Rs 350 to Rs 900.
Aamir Khan says, "Dhoom 3 ticket prices are not expensive. They are priced just like the other movies that have released and in general, ticket prices also differ as per the show timings. It is also the first Hindi film to release in the IMAX format and there are a total of four such screens in India, two of which are in Mumbai. Apart from those four screens, the tickets of "Dhoom 3" are in the usual price range."
SHOLAY IN 3D - OFFICIAL TRAILER
Sholay in 3D - Are you ready to meet Gabbar,Samba and Kalia
The Bollywood classic "Sholay" 3D version of the 1975, which was slated to release on megastar Amitabh Bachchan's 71st birthday on Friday, is now likely to release in January 3, 2014. The makers wanted a "four-week window" for the movie.
"We have requested cinemas to give us a four-week window. So, we are currently in talks with cinemas for a date in January," Jayantilal Gada, who is the presenter of the movie, said in a statement.
This movie is very significant for the makers, who have spent three years on the 3D project.
"It's an old movie. We don't want to rush to cinemas for a one-week window because this is not like a Chennai Express or any new movie which gets a big opening," Gada added.
Sholay, directed by Ramesh Sippy, is a landmark movie in Indian cinema. It featured Dharmendra as Veeru, Amitabh as his friend Jai, Hema Malini, who played the effervescent Basanti and the late Amjad Khan, who played iconic villain Gabbar Singh.

After "Big Boss", Tanishaa in "Big Brother"?
Tanisha - Big Boss To Big Brother
"Bigg Boss" has proven lucky for many contestants who have graced the show with their presence. Mostly a house filled with 'once famous' celebrities (or at least in the limelight for the wrong reasons), "Bigg Boss" has seen a myriad of people from all walks of life. And the latest to benefit from this is actress Tanisha, She is daughter of Tanuja and Kajol's younger sister.
Tanishaa has been garnering a lot of attention for her closeness to fellow inmate Armaan Kohli. Tanishaa has become so popular that she could be one of the finalists on the show. Also as per reports, the actress has been getting so many offers to perform at New Year's Eve bashes. We think that if Tanishaa participated in the international show Big Brother (on which Bigg Boss is based), she will become a bigger hit. Remember Shilpa Shetty? After the racist slurs that the late Jade Goody threw at her, Shilpa won everyone's sympathy on Big Brother and went on to win the show. Similarly, with Tanishaa's experience on "Bigg Boss", she will be well suited for Big Brother. Like Tanishaa, we think a few other actresses could also benefit from Big Brother and we think that they are fit for the international show.
What you think friends will Tanisha be perfect for "Big Brother"
