IMDb top 10 Indian actors: Shah Rukh, Salman, Aamir are top 3, but the real surprise is no 4

-
With two releases, Raees and Jab Harry Met Sejal, Shah Rukh Khan ruled the IMDb (Internet Movie Data Base) STAR Meter week after week. Here is the list of top 10.

Just when you thought Shah Rukh Khan’s position is getting weaker than his rivals in the movie market, IMDb has declared him the number one star of the Indian cinema in 2017. With two releases, Raees and Jab Harry Met Sejal, King Khan ruled the IMDb (Internet Movie Data Base) STAR Meter week after week.

IMDb based its list of top 10 stars of 2017 in Hindi film industry on their StarMeter stats and pageviews, and took into consideration which actor stayed at the top and for how long. He was closely followed by Aamir Khan who was seen in Secret Superstar and whose Dangal was a breakout hit in China after winning the box office in India in 2016. He had a guest appearance in Secret Superstar and also produced the movie.

Salman Khan has been ranked three. His Tubelight failed miserably, but he is back in the news with Tiger Zinda Hai. The hype around his big Christmas release doesn’t seem to die down at least in this month.

However, the biggest surprise in this list is Tamannaah Bhatia who is number four in this list. Though Anushka Shetty (no 8) stole her thunder in Baahubali 2, she rose to the occasion with Tamil flick Anbanavan Asaradhavan Adangadhavan. She is one spot ahead of Irrfan Khan (no 5) who tasted success with Hindi Medium and Qarib Qarib Singlle.

One of the biggest stars of the year, Prabhas, landed at 6 while Anushka Sharma secured the 7th spot. Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif took the next two spots respectively.

But what casts a shadow of doubt on this list is Akshay Kumar’s absence from it who was more or less in the public eye throughout the year. His films Jolly LLB 2, Nam Shabana and Toilet Ek Prem Katha worked better than most of the films this year.

Shahid Rafi, son of legendary playback singer Mohammed Rafi, has refuted claims by Lata Mangeshkar that his father had sent her an apology letter to resolve an issue between them. The late singer’s son Shahid Rafi lashes out at the singer, alleging that she maligned his dad’s name Mohammed Rafi’s Son Shahid Rafi With Wife Firdaus and Son Fuzail Rafi During the Launch of the Md.Rafi Academy Lata Mangeshkar’s interview to Mumbai Mirror titled “I am far from perfect - I have a fierce temper”, where the songstress recalled her fight with (late) Mohd Rafi over royalty rights and said she later got a written apology from him.

Inspired Barfi! The Right Choice For Oscar ?

-
Ranbir Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra-Ileana D'Cruz starrer Barfi! has been nominated as India's entry at the Oscars in Foreign Language Film category. The film, directed by Anurag Basu, has beaten 19 other films to be named India's official entry to the Oscars. It is understandable that everybody connected with Barfi! is elated over its selection as the official Indian entry for Oscars, but the big question is Whether or not Barfi! deserves this honor as a number of scenes copied from popular international films like "The Adventurer", Kikujiro, The Notebook and old Chaplin classics are evident. The jury at the Oscars will catch the plagiarized portions pretty easily making it highly unlikely for the movie to even make it to the nominations let alone bring home an Oscar. Catch the video below from 1:54 To 4:10 to watch some of the scenes which are direct lifts from international projects... Video Link >>

Aiyyaa is a rom-com written and directed by Sachin Kundalkar, jointly produced by Anurag Kashyap and Viacom 18. The film stars Rani Mukerji and Malayalam actor Prithviraj. Dreamum Wakeuppam is a dream sequence song with Rani as the heroine of a southern masala and south star Prithviraj as her ultimate fantasy man. Since Rani plays a Marathi girl in Aiyyaa whose heart goes dhak dhak only for a Tamil boy (Prithviraj), she dreams of him all the time, and the tangy song Dreamum Wakeuppam is the result of her wonderful imagination Dreamum Wakeuppam Critical Conditionam is said to be inspired from the south cult classic number from the eighties featuring Kamal Haasan. Not only the song, apparently even the dance has been choreographed keeping Haasan’s number in mind. Vaibhavi Merchant has choreographed the track

Dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (JDJ) has accomplished what Bollywood couldn't in two decades — bring Madhuri Dixit-Nene and Sridevi on screen together. The two former Bollywood queens bonded like long-lost friends at the grand finale of JDJ. They were colour-coordinated and performed/danced together to Mere Haathon Mein Nau Nau Choodiyan Hain (Sri's popular song from Chandni) and Dhak Dhak Karne Laga (Madhuri's popular track from Beta). Madhuri played perfect host to Sri right from guiding her to her seat in the judging panel to making her feel at ease while performing on stage. She praised Sri's acting and wished her luck for her comeback movie, English Vinglish. In fact, the rapport between the two was there for all to see, as the actresses hugged and chatted between dances. About her experience on the show, Sri said, "It was fun, like always." So, which is her favourite performance of Madhuri? "It would be a tough choice, but I like Dhak...
