There’s something about films based on gangsters, criminals and underworld… Have often wondered, why are several film-makers across the globe so fascinated by this genre? Though I am not a huge fan of this genre, I must confess, I have thoroughly enjoyed a number of crime sagas made in Mumbai: DEEWAAR, DHARMATMA, PARINDA, AGNEEPATH, SATYA, VAASTAV, GANGSTER, SHOOTOUT AT LOKHANDWALA, ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAAI… Helmed by some of the best names in showbiz, these films have tremendous recall value and left giant footprints on the sands of time, besides leaving an indelible impression on my mind. There’s tremendous speculation about RAEES… That the story is inspired by true events… That it’s based on a real-life character… Frankly, I am not the right person to comment on the authenticity of characters/episodes depicted in the movie or verify the speculations, but as a moviegoer, I must confess, RAEES did transport me to its world. A majority of films that highlight the lives o...

Raees star Mahira Khan called the ban on Pakistani actors 'unfortunate.' She also said Shah Rukh Khan is 'magic' on the film sets. Only lucky women get to romance Shah Rukh Khan onscreen. And the luckiest get the opportunity in their very first film. Pakistani actor Mahira Khan is one name we all envy. SRK’s leading lady in the upcoming movie Raees, Mahira all set for her big Bollywood debut on January 25. But what could’ve been her dream debut, turned sour due to the political turmoil between the two nations last year. Mahira has been barred from promoting Raees in India and with her team. Mahira is already a popular name in India, thanks to her hit Pakistani shows like Humsafar which aired on Zindagi channel. And while Mahira has kept the buzz around Raees on her social media accounts, by sharing regular posts and tweets, she still yearns to be with her cast at this time. Mahira spoke in length about her Bollywood film in a candid interview with Pakistani publicati...

Crowds will turn out even if Dawood Ibrahim comes in public, BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya said on Tuesday, targeting Shah Rukh Khan over the death of a man during heavy rush at the actor’s promotion of his film ‘Raees’ for which he travelled by train. Vijayvargiya also took to Twitter to praise Prime Minister Narendra Modi and hit out at Rahul Gandhi using the titles of two upcoming Bollywood films, saying our country’s ‘Kaabil’ is better than the ‘Raees’ of other country, apparently referring to the Congress vice-president’s foreign roots. “There is a new tradition of promoting films. The promoters should at least take care of public convenience. If they promote films in railways, the common people will suffer. Even if Dawood appears in public, crowd will come out. So we cannot gauge the popularity (of people), at least, on the basis of crowd,” Vijayvargiya said. He said public convenience should be kept in mind and films should be promoted ...

He may be a superstar today but Shah Rukh Khan got his first salary of Rs 50 as he was an usher in a Pankaj Udhas concert. The actor said he got his salary of Rs 50 and boarded a train to Agra. “I have travelled some long distances when I was younger. I did one, when I got my first earning from Pankaj Udhas concert, I was an usher. We got Rs 50, so we went to Taj Mahal, saved money,” the 51-year-old actor said. The Fan star said that on his way back, he had pink lassi in a huge glass which messed up with his stomach. “There they used to give this Pink lassi. We were so hungry, we had nothing to eat, but the lassi was big. But I think there was a bumble bee in it. I remember the whole way back from Agra to Delhi I was throwing up.” Shah Rukh Khan, who is currently travelling to Delhi in a train to promote his latest film Raees, said that he has plans to play some board games and wished his youngest son AbRam was with him tonight. The Rahul Dholakia-directed crime saga is set to rel...

Zaalima: Shah Rukh’s back to being a romantic hero in Raees song. Watch video Shah Rukh Khan isn’t tired of playing the romantic hero even after striking similar poses in dozens of Bollywood films. He has done it again in the new song, Zaalima, from his upcoming movie Raees. Directed by Rahul Dholakia, Raees also features Pakistani actor Mahira Khan as Shah Rukh’s love interest in the film which revolves around the life of a Gujarat bootlegger. The song, voiced by Arijit Singh and Harshdeep Kaur, presents King Khan in a black Pathani kurta and Mahira in a black suit. It’s in stark contrast with the yellow tinge of the desert in the background. The song which begins in what supposedly is the Rann Of Kutch soon moves to a mansion where the two Khans keep romancing in seclusion. Zaalima doesn’t seem to have a high recall value but it’s not wise to undermine a superstar’s market value. Raees, which will clash with Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil at the box office ...
