Whether the reactions are good or bad, positive or negative.. the first look of My Name Is Khan is already the talk of the town. Some reasons to watch out for My Name Is Khan Stars Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, big enough reason, ain’t it?  SRK at the press conference to unveil the trailer claims that the chemistry between him and Kajol is three times more than Dilwale Dulhainya Le Jayenge!! Its different from what Karan Johar has done ever before. MNIK is darker, deals with a Neurological disorder (autism) and also the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks. SRK’s performance.

We received this blog in our mailbox, with a request to publish it here. So here you go, Ram Gopal Varma’s tribute to James Cameron’s Avatar! ******************************* As I stepped out of Imax last night after watching AVATAR in 3D, I hated James Cameron for in comparison to the ultra futuristic vision of his, he made me feel like a pre-historic being of cinema in every which way. AVATAR in 3D is the most mind-blowing cinematic experience anybody can ever hope to have in their entire lifetime. Nearly 3 decades ago I remember being awestruck with Star Wars and now nearly 30 years later AVATAR to me looked 30 years ahead of its time both in its creative output and also in terms of James Cameron’s sheer imaginative power.

There is no stopping Akshay Kumar and here is why  His mere presence help sell a lot of tickets, irrespective of how good or bad the movie is. Even some of his average grossers make 40 – 45 crores nett at the box office. No denying the fact that 2009 has affected him, but not his fan-following. If his producers can get the economics of his film right his success-ratio will increase. De Dana Dan, Kambakht Ishq and Blue would have worked at the box office, if not for their high costs. What he needs to do Choose scripts more carefully and work with better directors. Experiment with

*********************************** Review will be up by around 4. Too bad Yashraj don’t organize premier’s or preview shows. A short review –  Rocket Singh was longer than expected, 3 hours+ also a bit slow-paced. But perfectly cast, great performances, good direction.. Worth a watch. *********************************** Rocket Singh apart from the “Salesman of the Year” title, also deserves an award for the “Worst marketed film of the year”. For those unaware (and we don’t blame you), the film is releasing today! Starring Ranbir Kapoor – who is on a hat-trick after Wake Up Sid and Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani – Rocket Singh marks the return of
