Salman Khan Issued Supreme Court Notice On Acquittal In Chinkara Poaching Case Actor Salman Khan was today issued notice by the Supreme Court on an appeal by the Rajasthan government challenging his acquittal in two poaching cases. In July, the Rajasthan High Court found the 50-year-old actor not guilty of killing an endangered species of gazelle or chinkara in two separate incidents in 1998 while he was shooting a film in the desert state. The state government challenged his acquittal; it wants him to be imprisoned to serve the rest of his sentence - after being convicted in 2007 for hunting down and killing the chinkaras, he was awarded a one-year prison term and a five-year prison term respectively. He then spent a week in jail in Jodhpur before being granted bail. While finding him not guilty, the High Court had said there was no evidence to prove that the animals who were found dead were shot by Mr Khan's licensed gun. A key witness, the driver of the jeep that was us...

Tees Maar Khan Box Office Report/Review/Collections

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. The First Day territorial breakdown of the box office collections for Tees Maar Khan.

HR's romance with TV actress Sonia Kapoor was reported in 2006. In the last four years, he has managed to ensure that his "close friend" was welcomed and loved as a "family friend" by his wife Komal, son Swayam and his parents Vipin and Madhu. Himesh Reshammiya's wife Komal Says a source, "Himesh has been seeing Sonia for more than four years now. After her father's recent death, they've grown closer. She has been a frequent visitor to their Lokhandwala flat -- something that upset his wife and his son initially but now they seem to have resigned themselves to it. Komal can't leave her husband as she is very traditional but she has voiced her reservations. Swayam has been rebelling against his father as he feels Himesh doesn't treat his mother well. He has made his dislike of Sonia quite clear." The source adds, "Himesh and Sonia even go on holidays together. On New Year's Eve, they'd gone to Sri Lanka. He also takes c...

Sania Mirza - Shoaib Fix CCTV Outside Their House in Hydrabad To Track Mob

-
Image
In times of love, sex aur dhoka, the newly engaged couple - Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik - have installed a CCTV outside Sania Mirza's Hyderabad home. It's nothing lascivious. The camera is meant to monitor the crowd outside the Mirza residence, especially the paparazzi. Incidentally, police permission is required to set up a surveillance camera, but the Maliks have flouted the rule and installed one in a corner of the first floor of their residence, adjacent to the room that Shoaib currently occupies. Thanks to the camera, the couple has been able to dodge the media and even step out to receive guests, suggest sources. Apart from alerting family members on the happenings outside, the camera has been providing unexpected entertainment, an insider said. The stars and their families watched reporters cornering an astrologer, who had strayed into the venue, with his parrot. While the astrologer was clueless about the Sania-Shoaib mania , reporters who believed that the Mirzas migh...

B'day wishes Celina bought in her 27th birthday on Monday with an illness in the family. Says the birthday girl, "My puppy Gooblee was unwell the whole day.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is busy shooting for Thugs of Hindostan here, finds it admirable to see women working on the set, saying they are taking over the world. Puri Pai: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is busy shooting for Thugs of Hindostan here, finds it admirable to see women working on the set, saying they are taking over the world. On his blog, Amitabh wrote: "Serenity not just in the woods and the skies above, but on the workplace as well. A serenity of a different kind that exudes diligence and sincerity, speed of compliance, organising mastery, orderly management and professional diligence. "And it all comes from the ladies working on set. An entire bunch of them, running about fulfilling commands, organising production needs and assuring the unit of the efficiency of their work."

-
Image
No One Killed Jessica has found tremendous appreciation and has Collected approx. Rs. 13.10 cr nett in its opening weekend at the box office (Fri, Sat, Sun) showing a day-wise improvement with each passing day. The Box Office breakup:- Fri: 3.25 cr, Sat: 4.60 cr Sun: 5.25 cr. No One Killed Jessica had a fair Monday with collections of around 2 crore nett. The drop is around 45% from Friday which is decent. The total after four days is around 15 crore nett and the week is heading for about a 20 crore nett total. The January 1st Friday jinx is broken. For some inexplicable reason, the first release of every year hasn't worked at the box-office. It's strange, but even film-makers were wary of releasing their films in the first week. Film people - most of them - are a superstitious lot and the last thing they would ever want is a 'wrong' release date. But the weekend numbers of NO ONE KILLED JESSICA, the first release of 2011, should change the mindset. Besides the jinx f...
