Aman and Kaaya cannot live without each other, but there is little that they can do till Aman meets Pashupathi who is the master of the ways of the spiritual world. Pashupathi tells Aman that in some cultures, there was a belief that a generational curse worked much after even the person who had uttered the curse was dead because, it was believed, that an evil curse when uttered stuck to an evil spirit and the spirit then became the keeper of the curse and it was the duty of that evil spirit to make the curse come true generation after generation. Aman asks Pashupathi if there was a way to destroy the spirit and get rid of the curse. Pashupathi tells him that there was a way but it was filled with peril. If he sets about to hunt and destroy a spirit then the spirit would also know that it was being hunted. It would become a war between man and the devil. Was he ready for it? Aman tells Pashupathi that he would fight for his love... and so begins their journey. Through the world of fear and intrigue and the eternal fight between good and evil. Will love conquer all? Shaapit is the first film in India of its genre. It is an adventurous horror love story


that's never attempted before.

Vishnu (Abhay Deol), a restless young man, itches to escape his father's faltering hair oil business. An old truck beckons, which Vishnu sees as his ticket to freedom.

Along the way, Vishnu reluctantly picks up a young runaway (Mohammed Faizal Usmani), a wandering old entertainer (Satish Kaushik) and a striking gypsy woman (Tannishtha Chatterjee - Brick Lane). Together they roam the barren land, searching for water and an elusive fair. The journey turns dire when they are waylaid by corrupt cops and a notorious waterlord. The key to their freedom is the eccentric collection of films and the two forty-year-old film projectors in the back of the truck. As in 1001 Nights, if the films are good, they live and move on. If the films are boring, they face death in the outback.

Shonali Calling, Deepika Answering….  

Shonali Calling, Deepika Answering….











Snowed down under an avalanche of praise for 'Love Aaj Kal', Deepika Padukone now braces herself for another round of bouquets and barbs for ' Karthik Calling Karthik.'

At the music launch of her Farhan flick, Padukone offered a peep into the onscreen persona of her character. "I'm playing Shonali in the film," she told a rapt media gathering, "She's an extremely outgoing, confident and independent girl. In fact, my new 'look' with shorter hair was created so that it's in keeping with what Shonali, who is a girl of today. We've seen a whole lot of romantic movies and many thriller films, but I would say that 'Karthik Calling Karthik' falls under a new genre altogether. I'd say that the film is a romantic thriller, because there is an element of suspense in the love story."

Meanwhile, romantic suspense over Padukone and Akhtar continues

Wise 'Idiot' Quits Booze And Ciggies… Forever!  

Wise 'Idiot' Quits Booze And Ciggies… Forever!











When '3 Idiots' held a celebration for it's stupendous success at a suburban Mumbai hotel, invitees noticed that he was indeed high on spirits… but Aamir Khan had not touched a droplet of alcohol! Earlier on, the bubbly was uncorked at nephew Imran Khan's engagement party, but there too Aamir totally refrained from sipping any champagne.

As per reliable sources, Aamir Khan made a firm resolve on the first day of 2010. He vowed to stay off alcohol and cigarettes. This time, for life!!

But it's not as if he won't serve booze at his residence. Khan clarifies in a tabloid chat that he's likely to offer beer to visitors, while he'll settle for a healthy high of fresh lime juice.

Admits the frank actor, "I put on 10 kgs in the past few months. Besides, I tended to overdo the drinking bit and hated it when I felt unhealthy. So I decided to quit drinking booze for life. As for cigarettes, I was never a regular smoker, so I decided to give it up too."

Commenting on media speculation that his spouse Kiran Rao goaded him into making the decision, Khan asserts, "I just felt like doing it from within. There is no specific reason."

Healthy 'Idiot', what say?

Mishra confident online leak won't harm 'Tera Kya Hoga Johnny'  

Sudhir Mishra says the news of his unreleased film 'Tera Kya Hoga Johnny' being available on the Internet came as a rude shock. The director, however, is confident that the unfinished version on the net won't jeopardize the film's prospects.

'After 'Slumdog Millionaire', the West is looking with much curiosity at the slum culture of Mumbai. I had no plans of doing an English version of 'Tera Kya Hoga Johnny'. But everyone who saw it in New York suggested I do it. Every frame in my film has been shot in the slums, lanes and gullies of South Mumbai in Colaba,' Mishra told IANS.

He admits that he was shocked when he learnt that his film was leaked online.

'Suddenly the news of my film being downloaded has become bigger than the film itself. This, I must admit, comes as a rude reminder of what lies ahead for our fim industry. It's not just piracy. The net is where we need to look for trouble sources now.

'When I finally heard about my film being on the net, I checked it out. This is not the full and final version of 'Tera Kya Hoga Johnny'. It's a very rough cut. I'd advise all netizens to avoid watching the illegal download because that's not my film,' he said.

Mishra refuses to play the blame game with the film's co-producer Tutu Sharma.

'All I'll say is that the film did not get leaked out of my office. What has happened, must be avoided in the future. But we aren't letting this go. Complaints have been filed in two police stations of Mumbai and with the Google authorities. This must not happen again,' he said.

'Tera Kya Hoga Johnny' is an episodic story of a street child called Johnny. Mishra got a child from the streets of Kolkata to play the lead and even unofficially adopted the boy who now lives with the director.

Earlier, Neil Nitin Mukesh, who features in one of the episodes, was blamed for delay in the film release. It was said the actor didn't want the film to release because of his minuscule role.

'Now at least everyone should stop blaming me. It was said I delayed the film by refusing to dub for it. Arrey, the film was in sync sound, so there's no question of not dubbing. I'm very proud of 'Tera Kya Hoga Johnny,' said Neil.

Bingo 'Paa's Starry Game  

Bingo 'Paa's Starry Game











He's feisty, sassy, naughtily wicked and gifted with an infectious sense of humour. All of that should enable Abhishek Bachchan to emerge as a telly anchor to reckon with for his game show, 'IDEA National Bingo Night' (Colors).

Bachchan Jr explains, "In Housie, you have numbers from 1 to 99, and in 'Bingo' we have numbers from 1 to 75 only. Anybody who sits in front of the TV can play and win lakhs of rupees. It would seem very boring if I just read out the number on a ball and so we decided to spice up the game show a bit."

Enabling that mission with some starry assistance are Arshad Warsi, Vidya Balan, Deepika Padukone, Farhan Akhtar, Vindoo Dara Singh and other celebs. "They're my friends, "admits Abhishek." So I wanted them to come on my show, relax and have some fun!."

One episode has the classy Kirrron Kher playing badminton with Bachchan Boy! "She's been my badminton partner," says Aby Boy." And for those who don't know, she was a badminton champion earlier."

Quite a racket here, folks

Knotty Boy Neil  

Knotty Boy Neil











His romantic alliance with Priyanka is no longer under the wraps, but Neil Nitin Mukesh hastens to clarify in inter phew chats, that keeping her away from the media spotlight was not a strategic move. "It's just that I didn't get a chance to speak about it earlier," claims Neil. "But now that it is out there, I can talk all about it."

Speculation is rife that NNM is all set to tie the nuptial knot in the near offing. "It's too premature to say that we are tying the knot this year," he asserts.

The dim response to his 'Jail' did blot his psyche, "The film did reasonably well, but I wish it had done better because it deserved to."

Among his forthcoming clutch of projects are Pradeep Sarkar's flick ("I've been shooting for the past ten nights, and so my body clock has gone haywire.") and Abbas Mustan's Hindi remake of 'The Italian Job' starring Katrina Kaif and Abhishek Bachchan.

On the personal front, Neil shows a proclivity for photography. Guess, he's just framing success.
