‘Ishqiya’ Outshines ‘Rann’ at Box Office

IshqiyaRecently released 'Ishqiya', outshines Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Rann' at box office. Vishal Bhardwaj, whose previous movie 'Kaminey' was a big hit, produced 'Ishqiya'.

Both the star-studded movies were released on Friday, 29 January. But The 'Ishqiya' in comparison to 'Rann' performed better. In the opening weekend 'Ishqiya' recorded almost 80 percent collections but the collection of 'Rann' was around 30%.

The corporate head (cinemas) of Wave Cinemas, Mr. Yogesh Raizada told reporters, "'Ishqiya' has got a strong opening in both Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in both multiplexes and single-screens. It has got around 80 percent business over the initial weekend."

Mr. Raizada also said, "The dialogue delivery in the movie is very good and it is a typical masala movie but the drawback is that everyone might not like it because it has its own class. While ‘Rann’ is gripping but has managed only around 30 percent opening. There has been no initial for this one. It has its own class but no mass appeal."

Delhi-based distributor Mr. Joginder Mahajan said, "'Rann' has fared very poorly thanks to its subject. 'Ishqiya' on the other hand has been average vis-a-vis 'Rann'. It is an ordinary affair with local appeal. Though the masses are watching it but the film is not for everyone because some are finding it a bit cheap."

He added, “Surprisingly, ‘Ishqiya’ is performing better in multiplexes and not in B and C sectors. We are expecting it to earn an average Rs.2 crore overall in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh."

“Ishqiya” which is directed by debutant Abhishek Chaubey, has actors like Naseeruddin Shah, Vidya Balan and Arshad Warsi. On the other hand 'Rann' is directed by experienced director Ram Gopal Verma and has big stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Paresh Rawal and Riteish Deshmukh. Even than 'Ishqiya' outshined big budget movie "Rann" with its simple but attractive story and brilliant direction.

According to an industry source, "The failure of 'Rann' has again given a dud out of Ram Gopal Varma's camp. While 'Ishqiya' has the rustic and poetic appeal very common to Vishal Bhardwaj. No matter whatever the fate, his movies somehow do manage to leave an effect on the audiences’ minds.


6 Grammy Awards: Beyonce Takes It All

Beyonce with Her Grammy AwardsIn the 52nd Annual Grammy awards in Los Angeles, the American singer Beyonce Knowles made a history. She became the first female performer at the Grammys who won six awards including song of the year for her anthem “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)”.

The 28 year old singer won her six awards which includes best female pop vocal award for her soaring ballad “Halo.” Beyonce possibly was not aware of her record that is why her acceptance speech was very modest.

She said, “Thank you so much. This has been such an amazing night for me and I’d love to thank the Grammys. I'd like to thank all of the fans for their support over the years.”

The Kings of Leon's “Use Somebody” was key song which made “Halo” to win record of the year.

Beyonce already won five Grammys in 2004 for her debut album “Dangerously in Love”. Earlier Alicia Keys, Norah Jones and Lauryn Hill, Amy Winehouse and Alison Krauss have won 5 Grammy awards, but Beyonce became the first one who first reached that mark twice.

She also won the songwriting award along with the three writers for her song “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It).” The sensational singer also won best R&B contemporary album for “I Am … Sasha Fierce”, her song “At Last” was named best traditional R&B vocal performance.



Rahman Walks Away With Two Grammy Awards

AR Rahman Receiving the Grammy Award Famous Bollywood music composer A.R. RAHMAN has won two Grammy Awards for his song 'Jai Ho' of the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire'. First Oscar and now Grammy Awards, Rahman has told the world that Bollywood is no less than Hollywood.

The 44 year old Indian composer won the awards at the dazzling 52nd Annual Grammy awards ceremony in Los Angeles. He won two Grammy in the Best Compilation Soundtrack for a motion picture and the Best Motion Picture Song categories. Excited but humble, Rahman said, “This is insane, god is great again”.

This was the special moment for Rahman, as he was nominated first time in Grammy Awards and won 2 awards together. Though, Grammy Awards are familiar with many legendry Indian classical musicians like Pandit Ravi Shankar, Zakir Jussain, Vikku Vinayak and Vishvamohan Bhatt who had already won the Grammy in the past. But this was the first time when any Bollywood musician won the prestigious Grammy Awards.

Rahman's song 'Jai Ho', sung by Sukhvinder Singh, Tanvi Shah, Mahalaxmi Iyer, Vijay Prakash and Rahman, became an international hit last year. Steve Jordan for 'Cadillac Records,' Quentin Tarantino for 'Inglourious Basterds' gave tough competition to Rahman in best soundtrack category.

In the best song category Rahman faced competition from international Crooner Bruce Springsteen for his song 'The Wrestler'. But outshining all the competitors, Rahman walked away with both the Grammy Awards.




Leslie Kenton: “I Was Raped by My Dad”

Leslie KentonFamous beauty expert Leslie Kenton has revealed in her new memoir "Love Affair" that she was raped by her own father when she was 11 and that the secret incest lasted until she was 13.

According to website reports, four years ago, Kenton first contemplated writing about her childhood and "Love Affair" in which she gave full account of the horrors and the secret incest relation.

Leslie told reporters, "My friend Gail Rebuck, who was my first editor and is now the chairman of Random House, told me, ‘You need to write a memoir.’ I said, ‘Gail, I can’t. No one would believe it, and the tabloids would go wild.’ And Gail said, ‘Who cares? This book will be the bridge between what you have done before and the work you will do afterwards.’”

The beauty guru is considered as the priestess of the real beauty movement for decades. She advocated high-raw, high-vegetable diets and detoxifying, way back in the 70's. She had created the Origins range and imported the skincare tablet Imedeen to Britain. Leslie has made her brilliant present from a murkier past.

Talking about the book, Kenton said: “It ripped me to shreds”.

In the book she has wrote about the summer of 1952, when she met her father Stanley on his dance tour, sharing his hotel room, sleeping back to back. He was heavy drinker and Kenton who was just 10 was trying to control her dad. He was, in many ways, treating her as a substitute for his wife Violet. One night the final boundary was crossed and he raped his daughter. It was the beginning of an incestuous relationship that lasted until she was 13.Throwing light on their relation Kenton said, "I believe he tried his best to resist touching me. Then, drowning in a sea of alcohol, he would come to my bed, only to deny the next morning that he’d been there. This was not cynical. Stanley had become so skilled in keeping secrets he could hide his guiltiest one even from himself."

Kenton who did not blame her father for incestuous relationship said, "He was born into guilt. As a child, he was taught by his mother, ‘There’s something wrong with you, Stanley.’ From talking to relatives, Leslie has learnt of a highly dysfunctional family with a history of manipulation, neglect and bizarre cult-like rituals."

“I do not know how to express the damage that a family like this does. This is a disease that’s passed on. Some people survive it and others are deeply damaged.”

According to Kenton she thinks that her father experienced a condition known as dissociative identity disorder, involving selective amnesia, which she also developed as she blocked out the incest.

While working on the book, Kenton retreated to her rambling house perched atop an extinct volcano on New Zealand’s South Island.

Kenton dedicated her book "Love Affair" to her father. In the tribute she has written, "For Stanley, with all my love".




Preity Zinta ‘I Can’t Go Out with Any Guy’

Preity ZintaActress turned businesswoman Preity Zinta has moved ahead in her life after breakup with her boyfriend Ness Wadia. But now the only thing that bothers her, are the link-ups with co-stars and friends. Due to which none of her male friends wants to go out with her, she says.

Talking to the reporters Preity said, "I'm surrounded by celebrities who are constantly discussing their personal lives. I'm the same Preity Zinta I used to be. You won't find me discussing my private life in detail. I'm in a very good space right now."

Showing her dimples the actress added, "The only problem is any man whom I’m seen with in public is automatically linked with me. I've come to a place where none of my male friends wants to go out with me any more! I think I'll just have to pick my date for the next public event through a contest!"

The co-owner of Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kings XI Punjab, Preity is now linked up with her own team cricketers.

Expressing her feeling on the linkups with own Cricket team's members, she said, "Can you imagine, members of my own team! I've always maintained I'd never mix business and pleasure. Now that I'm getting fully into business, I'm narrowing my chances of finding a man. I know I’d never get into criminal activities, so maybe…”

Talking about her relation with ex-boyfriend Ness Wadia, Preity said, "The media has been trying to find awkwardness in our equation. Why should that be? We’re still good friends. We’re no longer seeing each other. We’re colleagues now.“If ever I’m in a situation, I’m sure he’d watch my back, as I’d watch his. But would people let go of this fascination with the equation between me and Ness? It’s been one year since we broke up.”

Preity, who is spending most of her time outside Mumbai, said, "Whenever I'm not shooting I'm out of the country. Don't get me wrong. I love Mumbai to death. But tell me what can an actor do in the city if she isn't working? I can't go out partying. I can't even take a jog. What do I do on a Sunday? I can't even go out.

She also said, "Now (after the Ness episode) it’s become worse. I can’t go out with any guy. If I do I’ve to beg some women to come along, otherwise the guy and I get linked up. I can’t handle it any more."

Well last year was not good for Preity from personal and professional front as she broke up with long time boyfriend and her IPL team Kings XI Punjab did nothing good. So, we can just pray that 2010 will bring happiness in her life.

Review of ‘Rann’

Rann Film ReviewCast: Amitabh Bachchan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Paresh Rawal, Mohnish Behl, Manisha Koirala, Rajat Kapoor, Gul Panag, Raima Sen

Director: Ram Gopal Varma

Producer: Madhu Mantena, Sheetal Vinod Talwar

Rating: 3.5/5

Film Review:
After giving many flop films, Ramgopal Varma seems to be bouncing back with his new release Rann'. Rann is a serious movie which exposes media, industrialists and politician's connections. It also discloses media giants' game that how they sensationalize simple news for popularity and ratings.

Written by Rohit Banawlikar 'Rann' is a social drama which is woven around the founder of a private news channel 24/7, Vijay Harshvardhan Malik (Amitabh Bachchan) who is a hardcore upholder of journalistic ethics. Vijay's struggling channel is looked after by his son Jay Malik (Sudeep). Jay considers her father's news channel purely as a business enterprise that must make profits to survive.

Vijay's rival Amrish Kakkar (Mohnish Bahl) who was once his employee is gaining profits by making the news sensational.

The twist in the story comes when corrupt politician, Mohan Pandey (Paresh Rawal), a Prime Minister position aspirant, decides to use the channel 24/7 for his own advantage by using Vijay’s son-in-law Navin (Rajat Kapoor).

Navin who wants to be No 1 industrialist persuades Jay to make a deal with Pandey. The climax of the film is filled with great dialogues and powerful performance from Big B.

Performances of all the actors are good. Amitabh Bachchan has done full justice with his character and his dialogue delivery is quite impressive. Another actor who made his mark is Sudeep. Ritesh Deshmukh is nice in his role. But his part as investigator looks a bit confusing in the film.

Paresh Rawal, who enters in Ramu's camp after a long gap, has delivered tremendous performance in a negative role. Rajat Kapoor is flawless. Mohnish Bahl too has given a wonderful performance.

Other actors like Neetu Chandra, Gul Panag, Nina Kulkarni, Simone Singh and Suchitra Krishnamoorthy are average. Rajpal Yadav has done a good job of adding some funny touch to a serious movie.

The strength of the film is its strong story and powerful performance. Solid dialogues are one more plus point of the film. The cinematography of Amit Roy is quite noticeable. Direction of RGV is amazing as usual. Background score of the film is impressive and music is good.

The movie gets heavy at some points which can causes boredom. There is no masala in the film so people who like light-hearted and fun-filled cinema might not appreciate the film much.

The news of the singer's sex addiction is raveled by his best friend. Now, this news will create a huge problem for Dane as his marriage is already in trouble.

The 26 year old Spratt thinks Dane, the runner up of Celebrity Big Brother' show slept with up to five women a week and discarded them after one-night stands.

According to news daily, Spratt said, "Dane became completely obsessed with sex, he never thought about anything else and it was all he ever talked about."

"If he wasn't with a girl, he was on the internet desperately searching for his next conquest. His favorite sites were Facebook and Adult Friend Finder," he added.

Spratt, estimates that he (Dane) slept with a woman every other day for four months – meaning he bedded around 60 women.

On The Reports: Brangelina Sign 205 M Pound Break-up Deal

Angelina Jolie and Brad PittAccording to the reports the beautiful Hollywood couple of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be parting soon. The beautiful couple is apparently watching divorce lawyers and agreed to sign a 205- million-pound split deal.

Angelina and Brad will have joint custody of the kids, but all six could live full-time with Angelina.

According to the source, "The document was signed in early January. Both Brad and Angelina had signed it."

An insider said, "The contract was like a tailor-made version of a pre-nuptial agreement except for an unmarried couple's split. It seemed clear they want the world to know they'll both play a part in the upbringing of the children."

Adding more insider said, "But Angelina will actually be the one who lives with them full-time. There’s no date for when the contract would come into effect. But the paperwork is already organized for a break- up – and for it to be as unmessy for them as possible. It is clear it’s a case of when they break up rather than if."

The Beverly Hills based lawyer who is watching the proceedings is considered as "the best in the business".

Last month the 34 year old actress told a German magazine Das Neue, "Neither Brad nor I have ever claimed that living together means to be chained together. We make sure that we never restrict each other. I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a relationship. It’s worse to leave your partner and talk badly about him afterwards."

The unmarried couple has 6 kids and among which they are biological parent of three kids, Shiloh (3 year old), and twin Knox Léon and Vivienne (1year old). Pitt started dating Jolie after splitting with Jennifer Aniston in January 2005.

Is Sex Addiction A Myth or Reality?


Sex Addiction, a Myth or RealityThe argument that sex addiction really exists, rose when Tiger Woods accepted to have relation with many mistresses. He has been labeled as a sex addict. But is sex addiction really exists or we just relate it to a man who indulges in extramarital affairs.

Tiger Woods, who has been photographed at an addiction clinic in Mississippi, intensified the argument. Is this term sex addiction is any disorder or wealthy people like Woods use it to shield themselves from criticism. The answer can be derived through Science.

Psychologist, Dr. Alan Grieco said, "I am cautious and a little leery of the term sex addiction."

Professor Ginger Manley who is a certified sex therapist at Vanderbilt University said, "In the field of psychiatry, there’s not a clear agreement about whether or not it’s even a diagnosis."

The cases of sex addiction are very few and person with such problems do not come forward until their life gets ruined (like Woods). According to the experts, 75 percent to 80 percent of the patients who seek treatment for sex addiction are men. Men are nearly three times more likely to fall into that category of sex addiction than women.

Dr. Alan Grieco said, "In my opinion, monogamy does not come naturally to most men. We can do it, but it’s a struggle. … If an attractive woman throws herself at a guy and he thinks he can get away with it, he will – married or not – have sex."

Dr,Grieco also says that athletes and rich people are tempted by women, as doctors are surrounded by and tempted by prescription drugs. “These opportunities challenge our human frailties. We're all weak; some of us have stronger boundaries. But for younger males, who have high levels of success and opportunity, it's a gauntlet out there."

According to the research, hormone testosterone which is responsible for sexual activities is linked with success and failure. Men who are told they're great have higher testosterone levels than men who’ve been chewed out by the boss.

Dr. Grieco said, "That’s not to say that a man can’t say no. Testosterone doesn’t make anybody do anything. But it primes the pump. It’s a heady mixture of hormones and success."

But what is the difference between Sex addiction and healthy sexual appetite? When sex becomes addiction is based, in part, on how much time you spend on sex and fantasies. The current definition of sexual addiction comes from Patrick Carnes, the therapist whose staff is reportedly treating Woods. Dr. Patrick Carnes directs the sexual-addiction program at Pine Grove Behavioral Health and Addiction Services in Hattiesburg. He is recognized as a pioneer in treating sexual addiction. He defines the addiction based in part on the time someone spends on sex.

Dr. Grieco says, "If you’re spending over 14 hours a week – or two hours a day – doing something sexual or quasi-sexual, like cruising the Internet for porn or cruising the streets looking for a particular type of prostitute, you’re in the addictive range."

Treatment of sexual addiction relies heavily on 12-step programs, much like Alcoholics.

Dr. Manley said, "It takes enormous courage to walk into a meeting of complete strangers and say, ‘Hello, my name is John Doe, and I’m a sex addict. It's not as hard for drug and alcohol addiction, because there have been so many people who have been through it. Sex addiction is about the most shameful of all the addictions.”

In addition to 12-step programs, some therapists treat patients with talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy and even antidepressants, which blunt the sex drive.

According to sex therapist Toni Furbringer regardless of the type of treatment, sex addicts – like other addicts – frequently relapse. The problem is that they can never escape those salacious mental images they’ve created – whether it’s pornography or experiences with another person.

She said unfortunately you can not escape from yourself as “You cannot get those images out of your mind. And that's one of the things the sex addicts. I work with say: "It's there all the time. Even if I control my behavior, I have to constantly watch my thoughts."

So, is this the fate of Sex addict that they can not overcome this addiction? But there is always a ray of hope, keep the faith and control the thoughts constantly, this is the only way to get rid of this evil.
