  • ROHIT should opt for asin instead. Od deepika..asin has much better acting skikls..plus her complexion matches Srk’s complexion.. so both will look better.
    And i expect tere naal hogya to do well..hope Mandeep kumar..does the same magic as he does in punjabi films..

  • no matter what people say but agneepath with four big actors in the movie couldnt beat salman’s ready and that pretty much proves the starpower and onscreen crisma of salman. salman is box office king whether anybody likes it or not

  • “Salman Khan is a sweetheart. He is the lifeline of the industry.” says Kareena Kapoor

    WHAT A COMPLIMENT FOR BHAI.

  • Aishwarya is not fit for a movie now
    Mohit Suri is a good choice for Ekta
    EMAET is not a hit its a above average
    Asin should have been in Chennai Express
    Tere naal love ho gaya will be better word of mouth and will open well
    Akshay & Ajay should stop making remakes.
