According to Big B himself, the biography created by Bhawana Somaya is not a book that is made up of just words but also contains lots of photographs, poster designs and other visuals from some of the most famous films etc. making it very appealing.

The author has compiled "Bachchanalia" with the help of OSIAN's Centre for Archiving, Research and Development (CARD). CARD is the world's leading centre of visual and textual archive of modern and contemporary Indian fine arts, cinema, popular cultures and heritage. This institute which also has a vast collection of Asian and World Art was started to preserve India's artistic and cultural heritage and make its resources easily available for academic and other purposes.

Veteran film maker Yash Chopra was the chief guest and Aamir Khan the guest of honour for the programe.

On this occassion, Aamir Khan himself was all praises for the superstar of the millenium. He said, “Often I find in this line that success is not directly proportionate to talent and hard work. But here is one case where it is certainly proportionate to the talent and hardwork Mr Bachchan has.”

The last word at the function, without any surprise, came from the man of the moment Amitabh Bachchan himself. He said, “It has been a wonderful experience. I am very happy that somebody has documented this. I feel obliged and honoured.”

Border 2 - Movie Review: Sunny Deol’s Roar is Back! Was it Worth the 29-Year Wait?

-
Image
Border 2 Review: The War Cry Returns with a Thunderous Roar If you grew up on the 1997 original, you know that Border isn't just a movie; it’s an emotion. Walking into Border 2, I was terrified they’d ruin the legacy with modern CGI and "forced" patriotism. I’m happy to report that while it’s not perfect, director Anurag Singh has managed to capture the "soul" of the original while blowing the scale out of the water. The Plot of Border 2: A Multi-Front Assault Set during the 1971 Indo-Pak war (just like the original), Border 2 expands the canvas. While the first film was a desert-locked infantry battle, this one takes us into the air and into the sea. We follow Lt. Col. Fateh Singh Kaler (Sunny Deol) as he leads a new generation of warriors through some of the most harrowing chapters of the conflict, including the Battle of Basantar. The Performances in Border 2: New Blood, Old Fire Sunny Deol (The Anchor): He doesn't just act; he commands the screen. Seein...

Reaction of Nikunj Malik to Rahul Mahajan's Wedding With Dimpy Ganguly

Here is Nikunj Malik's Interview After the Swayamvar... Nikunj Mallik Mysteriously, Rahul Mahajan seemed like great marriage material to besotted young girls (or they put up a very good act, at any rate) on Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega. Nikunj Malik, one of the three finalists, decided to stop looking at him through rose-tinted glasses and is now rather vocal about her dislike. She says, “I feel Dimpy is perfect for Rahul as both have similar habits and lifestyles, which is not very acceptable to me. Though Rahul was quite interested in me, which was quite evident, I realised he’s not the kind of person I’d like to spend my life with.” A man never changes his spots, darling, so what possessed her to go for someone like Rahul? She says, “For the past two years, there has been no negative publicity about him. When at 35, a man wants to settle down and have a family, that worked for me. He is a nice man, but it’s obvious there is no visible improvement. It was the drinking, smoking and C...

Box Office Report of Tees Maar Khan: Tees Maar Khan Takes a Huge Opening at the box office but the reports about the film are negative Tees Maar Khan took a great opening at the box office across the country but the reports are not good. The film is a hit on the strength of its opening but whether it becomes a blockbuster is in doubt as collections in the evening at places could not keep up with its bombastic start in the morning. Saturday is a holiday which could help but Sunday will tell where the film is going. Another plus is two weeks of no competition. The other two releases of the week, Toonpur Ka Superrhero and Isi Life Mein had very dull collections and could not register at the box office due to the Tees Maar Khan wave.
