One gets a rare chance to see bollywood’s two iconic Khans – Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan - together on one stage and when it happens it becomes an eye catcher.
Finally together!
SRK arrived at the premier of Aamir’s latest release 3 Idiots proclaiming himself the 4th Idiot, both had some secret conversation as well but the moment was one of the most happiest for the Bollywood.
It seems both Khans have buried the hatchet created last year when both have their releases – Ghajini and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi – within a week difference.
Am I the 4th Idiot!? What about Salman
Happy Moments!
With SRK attending the premier of Aamir’s film, it is now looking obvious that Aamir could be the man to promote Shahrukh’s upcoming ‘My Name Is Khan’ which is ready to release soon.
I watched 3 Idiots on its release date 12/23. I have been waiting and waiting for this movie – Amir Khan is my favorite actor and ALL his movies are amazing in every way – acting, direction, songs, etc. 3 Idiots was not up to Amir’s level. I have come to expect nothing but perfection from him, and this one was not. However, I still expect it to do well in India.
First, none of the songs were good except for “All is well”. All the other songs were boring. Second, the story was stupid, cheesy, and totally unrealistic – not like Bollywood movies are realistic, but still. Third, pregnancy scenes. I hate pregnancy scenes in general because they are gross and show women in the worst possible manner. Fourth, sending the hero to martyrdom. I am so sick of Bollywood heroes playing the martyr in movies. This movie had plenty of that.
Now for the good part. Amir was adorable and has not aged a day. He has maintained his youthful look. There are many funny parts in the movie. Amir’s movies have day-to-day humor and friendships that last a lifetime. The humor is what keeps this movie alive and a must-watch at least once. And Kareena’s Indian dresses – she looks adorable in them.
The story is based on Chetan Bhagat’s book – loosely based. The entire film was shot in IIM-Bangalore. Amir and his two closets friends are students at the best college in India, ICE (ahem… based on IIT). His friends cram for the exams, a big problem with the Indian education system. Their parents put a lot of pressure on education and going to the best colleges (again so typical of India). Parents want their kids to be doctors or engineers. The movie is based on this pressure felt by kids and problems with the education system that encourages students to cram to pass in exams rather than a desire to obtain knowledge. Amir is different – he is there just to obtain knowledge, and comes first in class on that basis alone. His friends always come last. They are all so naughty, and the principal played by the lovable Boman Irani is fed up with their tactics. Of course Amir Khan falls in love with Kareena who is Boman’s daughter.
After Amir and his friends cross a line by stealing an exam paper set up Boman to fail one of Amir’s friends (BTW Kareena gave them this info and the key to Boman’s office), Boman rusticates them from the college. The same day Mumbai is flooded with rains. Boman’s daughter (Mona Singh) is pregnant and needs to be driven to the hospital. No taxi will take them in the floods. This is when the story goes downhill and gets oh so cheesy. Instead of taking Mona back upstairs in the house, Amir and his friends take her to the college’s ping pong table. Kareena on the webcam tries to teach them how to push the baby out. She tells Amir that there is a vacuum that doctors use to push the baby out when the mother is too tired. The light then goes out. Amir uses his knowledge to get the lights back on, and uses a vacuum cleaner to prepare the suction that Mona needs. Ugh!!! Finally the baby is out. But that is not all. The baby does not cry, and everyone is worried that it is not alive. Amir says “all is well” and the baby starts kicking. OMG!!! This is just so Bollywood. How many times have actors come back from the dead just because of such cheesy lines? Ugh.
Then Amir, the martyr that he is, delivers the baby and picks up his bags to leave dutifully since Boman kicked him out. Of course Boman stops him, and Amir is the best student of the class on graduation day bla bla bla. But yes there is a surprise ending which is quite hilarious.
A funny, cheesy, typical Bollywood movie with a lot of good humor and adorable actors in Amir, Sharman Joshi, Madhavan, and Boman Irani. A good movie but not to Amir’s level. Amir is like the boy who never grew up – all his movies focus on youth. Dil Chahta Hai, Rang De Basanti, and now 3 Idiots. Dil Chahta Hai was amazing. I gave the cheesy Rang De Basanti a pass due to the awesome songs and parallels with the extremists which kind of made the cheesy & martyr-type ending justifiable. I hope he doesn’t make any more of such cheesy films – its time for him to grow up.
The Dulhan Expo is your one stop shop for wedding planning, grandiose expose’ing and an immense menu of everything colorful, decorated and tasty for your wedding.
Sumit Arya has been a part of the South Asian wedding planning arena for more than a decade now and it wasn’t until he brought vendors to the brides that South Asian women felt dazed and confused when it came to the Shaadi Arrangements.
We all know what a scene it is to try to plan a South Asian Wedding, from the circus of a guest list to the cultural implications- our weddings are a fun but long and expensive process.
Dulhan Expo is a series of Bridal Expositions designed to keep the modern South Asian Bride in mind. DulhanExpo is providing the modern day brides with advanced wedding planning venues, saving them months worth of legwork by bringing wedding service providers from all different categories under one roof.
Recently, I moved to the East Coast. Whether it was buying daal on Oak Tree Road or visiting Eid Mela’s there was one consistent theme- New Jersey had a special charm. New Jersey had the opportune luxury of being able to experience the Dulhan Expo. In the past few months there have been more than six planned in the Greater New York/New Jersey area. I knew if Thaakat wanted to get places- being a part of a successful troupe was necessary.
Dulhan Expo I thought, It’d be a dream to get a booth there. I mean besides being a part of an event that was all glitz and glamour- it would be an honor to be a part of the wedding arena’s newest tradition.
I sent Sumit a casual message not knowing if I should expect anything and lo and behold a few weeks later I was awarded a booth. It was a wonderful show, we gained many contacts and we finally met the mega planner.
Since then, Sumit has been wonderfully amiable and has reached out to Thaakat several times. We are honored to have been provided the opportunity and are ecstatic to see what the troupe conquers next. From RDB shows, to modern mandaps, freebies and food tastings, Dulhan expo is a production you don’t want to miss. Visit www.dulhanexpo.com for more information!

I used to dance regularly at a local Moroccan restaurant. Sadly, the restaurant has since gone through a drastic remodel, so it has entirely lost its charm, but I love thinking back to the nights I danced there. The entire atmosphere was spectacular: the walls draped with rich fabrics in red and green and blue, trimmed in gold and silver; the Moroccan lamps hanging from the ceiling, casting a gentle candlelight glow through the colored glass on the dining room; the low couches and chairs, softly cushioned; the mosaic tile and wrought iron tables. All of it was stunning, colorful, delightful. The air was filled with a rich scent, combining the exotic spices in the food and the subtle aroma of burning incense. The lights were always dim, giving the room a calm, mysterious, exotic feel.
Though it was incredibly difficult dancing through the narrow aisles between the tables (and around waiters, at that), the whole experience was a lot of fun. Between the atmosphere and the music and being in costume, it felt like being transported to another world for a few hours. Although, the first time I danced there, it was a bit awkward being quite that up-close and personal with the audience, since I was so accustomed to performing on a stage in front of hundreds of people at a time. Still, the restaurant gave a more intimate, interactive experience for the diners, and that was a huge part of the appeal of the establishment. It’s really a shame they had to destroy it.
At the back of the restaurant was a slightly recessed alcove in which was set a long, low couch, in front of which was a wide table. This was the dancers’ table, and we got to sit there between sets, nibbling on hummus and pita bread while playing zills and zaghareeting for the other dancers (a zaghareet is the high-pitched ululation that you hear bellydancers give while others are dancing; it’s essentially a vocal applause, and not as raucous as the kind of cheering holler you’d give at something like a rock concert). The restaurant didn’t pay us to dance there, but we did get free dinner and all the pita bread and Moroccan tea we could consume (not to mention the tips we got from the diners). The Moroccan tea was pretty much the highlight of the evening for us. The waiter would bring out a tray holding a teapot and a set of Moroccan tea glasses, and would lift the teapot high above the glasses as he poured. There was a bit of a competition always going on among the waiters to see who could get the pot the highest without making a mess — which led to a round of very exuberant zaghareets from the dancers whenever one did a particularly impressive job.
Moroccan tea glasses are lovely: the rich colors, the intricate patterns, the lovely detail. The tea is also wonderful. Very sweet, so it was the quickest, easiest way to get us amped up for a long night of dancing. It’s like instant energy — down one small glass of tea, and only a moment later you’re jumping up to dance energetically, feeling the music and grinning as you move among the tables. Truly fantastic.
If sources are to be believed, Trisha could soon turn into an hotelier. The film star is apparently not just content with the way her career has been shaping up but also wants to turn into an entrepreneur. Trisha’s father Krishnan, who has ample experience in the hotel industry, will administer the star hotel, we hear.
And guess where the star hotel will be? Well, this time it is not Chennai, but Trisha’s hotspot Hyderabad.
