Kajol and Kareena Kapoor in We Are Family

Kajol's latest film was just released and it seems to be doing fairly well.
It should, considering it stars two of the hottest actresses in Bollywood.
We Are Family was directed by Siddharth Malhotra, produced by Karan Johar, stars Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal and is a remake of the 1998 Hollywood film Stepmom.

In the film, Kajol plays Maya, a stay at home wife who gave up her career to raise her three children.
She has divirced her husband Aman (Arjun Rampal) and the story centers around Aman introducing his new girlfriend, Shreya (Kareena Kapoor).

Shreya is the opposite of Maya, a career oriented woman, and the situation between them takes an unexpected turn when the two women are brought together under the same roof.

Of course being a Bollywood film, it differs from it's Hollywood counterpart in that it has six songs, including a tribute to Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock.

We Are Family seems to be doing pretty well with the critics.

This is Kajol and Kareena's second film together, the first being 2001's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...

Kajol said that she based a lot of her character Maya on her grandmother, Bina Rai, who passed away in December of last year.




Kajol and Kareena Kapoor in We Are Family, posted to http://bollywoodwomen.blogspot.com/, on September 4th, 2010.

Kajol, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor and More

Kajol's much anticipated "My Name Is Khan" will be released on February 12, 2010, but the soundtrack was already released on January 4, 2010.
The music is by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics by Niranjan Iyengar.
You can go here http://www.songs5.com/My_Name_is_Khan-2256.html to get free downloads of the film's music.
The film will be shown at the Berlin in International Film Festival from Feb 11 to 21, 2010.

I mentioned in an earlier post that beautiful Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra would be starring in the upcoming Bollywood film "Seven" as a woman that weds seven different men.
(Among those men are Malayalam superstar and National Award winner Mohanlal and Indian actor Hrithik Roshan)
But unlike "What’s Your Rashee?" where the lovely Priyanka played twelve different roles, in this one, she will only be playing one.
It seems that "What’s Your Rashee?" was enough for Priyanka, but rumors say she has said that she will never play multiple roles in her again.
Can you blame her?
That has to be VERY taxing on anyone.
"Pyaar Impossible", her last film got mixed reviews, so lets hope "Seven" does a lot better.

Kareena Kapoor will be co-starring with ShahRukh Khan in the upcoming superhero film, "Ra-1".
And Kareena will be showing up in the film not only in real life, but as an animated character as well.
Rumor also has it that as opposed to films like "The Dark Knight", the films set will be lively and brightly colored.
Hey, it may be a nice change from the constant gloom we get in super hero flicks today.

I mentioned in the last entry that Aishwarya Rai will be starring in the upcoming Sci-Fi movie Endhiran.
What I didnt mention was that this will be Aishwarya's Tamil cinema debut.
And Endhiran will most likely wind up being the most expensive film ever made in Indian cinema.
Endhiran is expected to be released on April 14, 2010.
If you'd like to keep up on how things are going with the film, you can head over to http://www.directorshankaronline.com/ and check out director S Shankar's blog.

There seems to maybe be a little tension on the set of the comedy movie "No Problem" directed by Anees Bazme.
And the tension is coming in the form, or rather forms, of Sushmita Sen, Kangna Ranaut and Neetu Chandra.
Rumor has it that Neetu and Kangna aren't getting along that well on the set.
But you have to remember, that's all it is...a rumor.
Other reports from the set said that everything was going fine, and that everyone was having fun.
This is Kangna's first comedy, and she will be playing the younger sister of Sushmita Sen.

Bollywood Actress News - Priyanka Chopra, Kajol and More

More Bollywood actress news with Priyanka Chopra, Kajol, Madhuri Dixit, Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai, so lets get started...

It looks like it's turning into a numbers game for Priyanka Chopra movies.
Recently she released "What's Your Raashee?" in which she played twelve different characters, and now she is slated to star in the upcoming Bollywood movie "Seven" as a character that has seven husbands.
Rumor has it that Indian film actor and producer Mohanlal will play one of her husbands, and that Indian actor Hrithik Roshan may play another.
Filming is schedualed to begin in 2010.

And while "Seven" may start filming in 2010, on Februrary 12th, a movie will come out that is generating a lot of buzz already.
"My Name is Khan" stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.
Expect this Bollywood film to go big, as it is being distributed by Fox Star Studios India in India, Fox Searchlight in the U.S. and 20th Century Fox worldwide.
And to boost it even further, the first promo for "My Name is Khan" will be released with James Cameron's much anticipated Avatar, which opens globally on December 18.

Madhuri Dixit is in negotiations to play her her idol former prime minister Indira Gandhi in Krishna Shah's biopic.
But don't expect this film to have an easy path.
Biopics on Indira Gandhi by Jagmohan Mundhra and N. Chandra have been tried and shot down already.
Madhuri is a legend in Hindi cinema so don't expect her to commit until things are a bit more finalized with the film.

Karan Johar's new Bollywood film "Kurbaan" has not made a killing at the box office and been getting mixed reviews, but everyone seems to think that Kareena Kapoor (as Avantika Ahuja) has turned in a great performance.
The film that had location shoots in Philadelphia and Brooklyn, ran into a bit of trouble before release when a petition was filed in the Bombay High Court to stay the release of movie.
After responses from Karan Johar, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, the court declined to stay the release of the film.
But back to Kareena....

Gaurav Malani for IndiaTimes Movies said...
"After long, Kareena Kapoor gets a role of substance that brings her performing potential to the fore."

Taran Adarsh/IndiaFM...
"As for Kareena, Kurbaan reiterates one fact yet again: She's the best in the business. No two opinions on that!"

Masand's Movie Review...
"Kareena Kapoor goes for a simmering, slow-burning performance that eventually punches you in the gut."

Udita Jhunjhunwal DNAIndia...
"Kareena Kapoor looks lovely and plays her part with sincerity, even though Avantika is not a strong character."

Of course Ben Kingsley is well known for his Oscar winning performance playing Gandhi, but now he wil bring another figure in Indian history to life, Shah Jahan, the man who built the Taj Mahal.
And starring as Mumtaz Mahal, (Jahan's favored wife and the woman whose death inspired the construction of the Taj Mahal) will be the lovely Aishwarya Rai.
The upcoming film "Taj" will have a budget over $30 million dollars and Kingsley will not only star in the movie, but produce it as well.

Preity Zinta News

Preity Zinta has several films coming out this year, but one, Deepa Mehta's Videsh, is already stirring up some controversy.
The film tackles the issue of domestic violence and has raised some concern with the Censor Board in India.
http://news.sawf.org/Bollywood/57318.aspx

Preity will also be appearing in Har Pall with Isha Koppikar and Main Aur Mrs Khanna with Kareena Kapoor.
In Main Aur Mrs Khanna, Preity will be making a special appearance in a item number.
Although it's been rumored that her role has been beefed up a bit more.

Madhuri Dixit
A bit older than the other actresses on this list,, she was born on May 15, 1967 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. She hasn't acted in a movie since Aaja Nachle in 2007, but that didn't stop her from coming in at seven on this list.

Art Imitates Life for Kareena Kapoor

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor was in Philadelphia shooting an untitled Renzil D'Silva project with Saif Ali Khan and Karan Johar when the devastating atacks in Mumbai happened.
As often occurs, art imitated life for Kareena, but in a horrifying way.
Again, my thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this tragedy.


Kareena shoots a film based on terror in these hard times
When the heinous terror strike hit Mumbai, little did Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor know that terrorism would take a toll on the city when she would be away shooting for a similar terror-related film in Philadelphia.
On hearing the news of the attack, a worried Kareena spent her valuable time in the US, making anxious calls back home. The actress had been shooting for some horrifying terrorism scenes the previous day, for Karan Johar's new film.

Who is the top Bollywood Actress?

India Times has posted a list of the highest paid actresses in Bollywood.
The list goes like this....
Kareena Kapoor
Aishwarya Rai
Katrina Kaif
Deepika Padukone
Bipasha Basu
Priyanka Chopra



Very impressive list.
But I matched that list against the most popular (highest searched) Bollywood actresses and it came out like this.....
Aishwarya Rai
Kareena Kapoor
Katrina Kaif
Deepika Padukone
Priyanka Chopra
Bipasha Basu

The top spot looks like a fairly even battle between Aishwarya Rai and Kareena Kapoor.

So just who is the reigning Queen of Bollywood?

'I never got a chance to understand Kareena', Bipasha Basu

'I never got a chance to understand Kareena'

While her new found friendship with one time foe Kareena Kapoor remains a mystery for many, actress Bipasha Basu admits that she never got a chance to understand Kareena.
"I never had a chance to understand her but now the awkwardness is gone," the dusky actress said on the sidelines of an event.
Both the actresses were said to have a good time at a recent party organised by Kareena for beau Saif Ali Khan. It is said that both could not see eye to eye during the shooting of Ajnabee, Bipasha's first Bollywood picture.

Will Item Dancer Preity Pose Threat To Rakhi?

Will Item Dancer Preity Pose Threat To Rakhi?

Bollywood is changing too fast. There was a time when very few girls were ready to do item numbers and those who did such a job would like to come out of this image. However, there is a revolution-taking place in the industry. Rakhi Swant was known as an item song girl, and was kept away from doing heroic roles. Now, every Bollywood actress is proud of her item number and shoots to fame on that count. Name a top actress and she is named after her item number whether it's Aishwarya Rai, Bipasha Basu, Urmila Matondkar, Kareena Kapoor or the Queen B Madhuri Dixit.

Bollywood Actresses: Break-in Babes

Break-in Babes
Piyush Roy

Bollywood is on the lookout for its next diva. The hunt could end with these four young women: Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Asin Thottumkal and Ferena Wazier
In November, the 70mm screen will go dhak dhakin delight when Madhuri Dixit, she of the thousand-flashbulb-smile and quicksilver feet, dances back into Bollywood with Aaja Nachle. But as you wait to soak in some Madhuri magic, you wonder: where is the next generation of young stars to traipse in her footsteps? Where is the cockiness of a Kareena, the earthiness of a Rani and the spunk of a Preity? In November (and by early next year), a quartet of beauties — Deepika Padukone (Om Shanti Om), Sonam Kapoor (Saawariya), Asin Thottumkal (Ghajini) and Ferena Wazier (Rang Rasiya) might just give you your answer.

Indian actress Kareena Kapoor sports non-glamorous look for new movie

Indian actress Kareena Kapoor sports non-glamorous look for new movie

MUMBAI, India: Glamorous Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor will clean off the makeup and adopt a natural look in her new love story, "Jab We Met" or "When We Met," a filmmaker said Monday.

Director Imtiaz Ali said Kapoor's clean look is part of her girl-next-door image in his movie, which also stars Indian actor Shahid Kapur.

Bollywood actresses are rarely seen without makeup on screen, and are often criticized for wearing heavy greasepaint even when portraying poor villagers, farmers, lawyers or police officers.

But Ali said Kapoor's new movie is going for a more realistic feel.

The film takes place on a train and follows Kapoor and Kapur through a series of adventures after they are left stranded in a remote railway station without luggage or money.

Karishma Kapoor may soon burn the silver screen again…
by Rajiv Dutta

It is reliably learned that 90's hot Bollywood actress, Karisma Kapoor is planning to revive her career. As a first step towards that end, she bought herself a flat in the suburbs, so she can stay and concentrate on films. She is known to have been going through numerous scripts to initialize her most sought after comeback.

Karisma Kapoor, who married Delhi based businessman Sunjay Kapoor a few years ago, will be seen shuttling between Mumbai and Delhi .

Her last film was 'Mere Jeevan Saathi' with Akshay Kumar and Ameesha Patel, which took a long time to complete and release.

N ANANDHI (Contributor)

5 June 2007

BOLLYWOOD PRINCESS Kareena Kapoor has no qualms taking a sabbatical from long drawn main roles and doing cameos and item numbers. Last seen in a critically acclaimed role in Omkara, Kareena will be spotted next in a brand new TV commercial for Citizen watches with none other than Indian cricket team captain Rahul Dravid. Though Kareena and Rahul have been endorsing the brand for more than a year now, this is the first time they will come together for a commercial.
