Rating: 
Director: Rajeev Manoj Virani
Rajeev Manoj Virani’s Help is a well made horror film that succeeds in giving you the requisite chills and thrills expected out of a good horror film but the problem lies with the unoriginality of the plot that seems heavily inspired from Thai film Alone.
Bollywood actress Amisha Patel has been signed to be a part of the Telugu patriotic movie Parama Veera Chakra. She will be acting opposite Telugu star Balakrishna.
The movie is being directed by veteran director Dasari Narayana Rao. It is heard that Amisha was finalized following a lot of discussion. Earlier, it was reported that Anushka had been selected to play the female lead role. However, her date problems cleared the way for Amisha Patel. Young actress Sheela would be playing the other female lead in the film.
The resounding success of TERE BIN LADEN has taken Bollywood by storm. Not many from the industry expected this modest experiment to capture the hearts of audiences all over the country! Weary as they are of the same old formulas hashed over and over again by producers unwilling to take risks, audiences are thronging to multiplexes to catch this little indie gem from production house Walkwater Media.
Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Hollywood actress Kate Winslet will be seen together very soon. However, the two actresses are not to be seen in a movie but for cosmetics commercial. The two ladies will come together in Italy to shoot for the advertisement of L’Oreal.
The latest release of Aishwarya Raavan may not have done well at the office but this has not affected the market value of the beauty queen.
Australian actress Emma Brown Garrett, who has already debuted in Indian movies with Bengali film Shukno Lanka, has to turn blonde for her Bollywood debut movies.
Emma will be seen in Rohan Sippy’s movie Dum Maaro Dum, which stars Abhishek Bachchan. She will star opposite Sunny Deol in Yamla Pagla Deewana, which also stars veteran actor Dharmendra.
As per the promos running across channels, the makers of this film are hell bent on bringing Shahid and Kareena back together with its ‘Forgive and Forget’ theme.
Whether they will ‘meet’ in ‘real’ life is their personal call but will the film ‘meet’ people’s expectations?
The well-known Bollywood actor Shakti Kapoor’s daughter Shraddha Kapoor made her debut with the movie Teen Patti starring Big B. The movie could not do well at the box office but Shraddha got noticed by the filmmakers and the actress has now signed a three-film contract with Yash Raj Films.
Nikhil Advani has chosen the relatively new actress Anushka Sharma to play the leading lady opposite Akshay Kumar in his upcoming movie Patiala House.
However, there is a reason behind choosing Anushka over any other top actresses. The sources inform that Nikhil has thought in the same lines as Aditya Chopra did when he cast Anushka in the movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi starring Shah Rukh Khan. The filmmaker wanted to keep the focus on the male actor Suri.
If not for anything else, a (miniscule) section of audience concerned about the industry and trade were wondering if the nostalgic value attached to the ‘Krantiveer – The Revolution’, sequel to commercial hit of the mid-90s, ‘Krantiveer’ (Nana Patekar, Dimple Kapadia), would help the film gain some eye balls at the least. However, this was not the case to be as the film didn’t find any takers whatsoever on its release. The film was greeted with empty halls all over though single screens were comparatively (and strictly relatively) better than multiplex screen.
Reliance BIG Pictures and Madras Talkies’ RAAVAN seems to have got an excellent opening at the box office. It has grossed Rs 20 crores worldwide on the opening day from its three versions- Hindi (RAAVAN), Tamil (RAAVANAN) and Telugu (VILLAIN).
