'What's Your Raashee?' Promos
Last time we saw Harman Baweja and Priyanka Chopra in a film together was in the 2008 flop 'Love Story 2050'. Well, they will be together again in Ashutosh Gowarikar's upcoming romantic comedy 'What's Your Raashee?' Harman plays a young guy who is told that he must find his dream girl within ten days to save his family from ruin. So he makes a plan; he will meet one girl from each zodiac sign or raashee, so that he will get twelve chances to fall in love. Two meetings per day gives him six days to meet them, three days to make a final decision and he can get married on the tenth day. Priyanka Chopra plays twelve different characters depicting the twelve zodiac signs. Check out these two trailers from the film with one that's a promotional promo and another that's a track from the film
Music Review: 'Wanted'
The team duo Sajid-Wajid has already had a great hit soundtrack this year which was 'Kal Kissne Dekha'. Even though the movie didn't do well, the music was still greatly appreciated. Next on the list this year for them is Salman Khan's action-packed film 'Wanted'. Will it carry on the same success as 'Kal Kissne Dekha'? Let's see...
The first track "Dil Leke" has a bit of techo and a lot of softness to it. Sung by Shaan and Shreya Ghoshal, they sound great throughout the whole song. There's also a remix version of the track that sounds great on the dance floors.
Next up is "Ishq Vishq" which is has a lot of techo and reminds you of some of Salman's past films. The song marks the return of Kamaal Khan who sang songs from most of Salman's films which turned out to be hits. He makes a great comeback with the same voice we still remember back in the day with Sunidhi Chauhan also singing with him and Suzanne in the background. This track also has a remix, but the original still sounds better off without it.
The track "Jalwa" has a lot of Punjabi flavor to it. The only problem is that the track can be annoying after a few times because of Wajid echoing 'Jalwa' every time. The On the House remix makes the track even less popular.
This next song "Le Le Maaza Le" gives a mix of Middle Eastern music and Spanish vocals. The female vocals by Suzanne, Soumya Raoh and Nikita Nigam have brought the song into great lengths and the male vocal by Hrishikesh Kamerkar doesn't make the track the certain power it needs to get the hype going.
"Love Me Love Me" would probably be one of the best tracks in the bunch. It sounds a lot like "You're My Love" from 'Partner'. It may have borrowed elements from that track, but it is still a great song to listen to with Wajid and Amrita Kak singing the track. The Mama Papa Mix of the track adds quickness to the song to become more enjoyable on the road.
This next track "The Most Wanted Track" is the one you may have heard in the promos. What may shock you is that Salman sang some of the lyrics in the song. He does a great job making the track come to life with his voice. I wouldn't say this is the best in the soundtrack, but it certainly isn't the least.
The last track "Tose Pyaar Karte Hain" sounds like a track you would hear in a village. Sung by Wajid and Sunidhi Chauhan, it is an OK track of the bunch. The Bhojpuri Makhan Mix of this track makes it a bit better for the dance floor yet it doesn't give you much to cheer.
Sajid-Wajid has given an average soundtrack for Salman's film yet it makes you wonder if they have lost their touch in music. Anyway, the best of soundtrack would be "Ishq Vishq" and "Love Me Love Me" because it gives the essence of the film. This album would deserve a 3 out of 5 for a good effort for a Salman Khan starrer.

Bipasha Basu in Rocky S.From Sexy starlets lighting the ramp on fire to a grand finale with Bollywood megastar Salman Khan, Gitanjali's 15th anniversary gala was quite an extravagant affair. The glitterati of Bollywood strolled into the Renaissance Hotel in Powai, Mumbai to celebrate 15 years of business as India's leading jewelry company. The highlight of the event was a glamorous star-studded fashion show. B-town's best walked the ramped donning some exquisite pieces.
To commemorate their years of business Gitanjali introduced a new line of Jewelry called IIFA Bling, "The Bollywood Jewelry for the IIFAs". The leading men and women of Bollywood wore the new line of exquisite pieces with grace and style. Some of the top designers displayed on the runway included Neeta Lulla, Vikram Phadnis and Rocky S. Everyone involved played a vital role in increasing the extravagance of the festivities.
Aside from the fun and fashion there had to be some gossip in order to make it an official Page 3 event! So what was the industry buzzing about throughout the night? Well sources tell us that most of the chatter was quite positive until poor Neetu Chandra tripped and almost fell on stage while she hosted the event. Might not sound like that big of a deal, but when you are filled with a room full of socialites who also need something to talk about, it's never fun being the one picked on!

Celina Jaitley in Neeta LullaThings weren't all bad for Miss Chandra. She hosted the event alongside Cyrus Broacha who, like always, kept the crowd laughing. The two were great hosts for the night but the focus, of course, was on the star-studded fashion show.
Bollywood's best floating down the ramp in glamorous Desi attire is what really made this a night to remember. Bipasha Basu looked stunning in her sexy white lengha designed by Rocky S. It was B-town's starlet though, Celina Jaitley who stole the spotlight in her deep red lengha, which she wore for Neeta Lulla. Neil Nitin Mukesh receives an honorable mention as he got all the young teen girls screaming as he hit the ramp sporting some "IIFA Bling".
Overall, the fashion show was stunning and the audience absolutely loved its grand finale, featuring Gitanjali's brand ambassador Salman Khan walking the ramp.

There's already been lots of buzz around Bhangra artist Juggy D re-entering the scene on producer Taj-E's song "Vang Teri." Well, now the guys have used the song to create an Urban Remix of it. Obviously they have given us something more to talk about, so the question is will the chatter about the remix be positive or
Kamini says: Emraan Hashmi Bounced from Bandra
This week, Emraan Hashmi went public with allegations that he was the victim of housing discrimination due to his religion. He was unable to get a "no objection certificate" for the purchase of his new home in the luxuriously posh Pali Hill neighborhood. Instead, Emraan will be seeking a "character certificate" from the police to assure the society members of his upstanding character. People, please.....
Do I think that a "character certificate" request is ridiculous? Definitely. I mean, please - who hasn't heard of Emraan Hashmi? He couldn't keep his private life secret if he wanted to. Rumor is that the housing society disproved of his film roles and "serial kissing." Um, it's called acting people. That means that it isn't real. And if the housing society can't figure that out, imagine the intellectual capacity of the residents or Pali Hill.
Do I think that Emraan Hashmi was discriminated against because he is a Muslim? Yes. It's happened before, it will happen again. Just ask Zulfi Sayed or Shabana Azmi.
And do I think that Emraan should move in to the Pali Hill home if all paperwork gets sorted? No. First of all, who would want to live where they aren't wanted? Second, as alluded to above, it is likely infested with intellectual half-wits.
If Emraan does decide to move into this home, however, I hope that he makes sure to throw lavishly loud parties, invite the brazen and bold from all corners of the globe to diversify the neighborhood, and that he trains his dog to piss on the stoops of his neighbors. Pooh-pooh, Pali!
