Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film ‘Welcome’ has been creating a buzz in B-town ever since it was announced. Not only it is his dream project but he has also roped in amazing actors like Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Shahid Kapoor to play the main characters.

While Deepika plays the titular role, Shahid as her husband Raja Rawal Singh and Ranveer, on the other hand, will be seen donning a grey avatar and playing Alauddin Khilji.

We all know how passionate the actor is about portraying his character flawlessly and as per the latest news it looks like he is leaving no stone unturned to do justice to his role.

This time is no different. While shooting a scene with Raza Murad, something happened that went viral within no time. The senior actor was supposed to slap Ranveer in a scene but pleasing Sanajy Leela Bhansali ain’t that easy!

Known for his perfection, SLB went on from retakes to retakes and it was only on the 24th slap that he felt content with the footage that was captured and gave his nod.

In fact, when one of the Hindi newspapers covered that news, the actor took to twitter and shared the story stating, “True Story!”

True story! 🤚� #Padmavati pic.twitter.com/Vykn5YzxhU

We can definitely see Ranveer doing everything possible to perfectly get into the skin of his character but then you can’t accept anything less from a stunning actor like him. We already vouch for the fact that he will ace his role as Allauddin Khilhji.

Earlier talking about his role, the actor shared, “What a guy! Can’t believe he does the things he does, he is an appalling human being. You can’t even call him a human being, call him a ‘haivaan’. You would love to hate him. You will be like, ‘I hate this person how can he be this way, how can anybody be this way, is there no compassion.’ He’s a hard guy.”

The more we hear about this magnum historic drama, the more we can’t help but get excited about the film.

There is no dearth of reality shows in India, yet every other day a new show is introduced that blows our minds away and gives us another reason to stay hooked to our TV sets. The latest one to join this bandwagon is ‘Lip Sing Battle’, which will mark the comeback of Bollywood director, producer, and choreographer Farah Khan, on the small screen. Even before its premiere, the show has been making quite some headlines. Earlier, Farah Khan posted a picture of actor Shah Rukh Khan giving him a surprise visit on the sets, which escalated our excitement to a pinnacle.  

Some surprises are so emotional @iamsrk thank u for bringing such positive energy on our set of #lipsingbattle

A post shared by Farah Khan Kunder (@farahkhankunder) on Aug 28, 2017 at 8:57pm PDT

Well, now Farah Khan has posted pictures from the shoot of an episode and the lineup of celebrities – Karan Johar, Parineeti Chopra and Priety Zinta – who will appear on the show is sure to make this (in Farah’s words) the ‘maddest episode’ of this reality show.

This episode is going to be a really interesting one, partly because actress Parineeti Chopra is going to don a new avatar. She will appear in the getup of Raja Babu, a character that was made immortal by actor Govinda.

Maaaddddd episode of #lipsingbattle shot today!! With @karanjohar giving a run to lady raja babu @parineetichopra !! Cant wait for this to air!!

While, Parineeti stunned us with her Raja Babu avatar, actress Preity Zinta too wasn’t far behind in rocking the show with her sass. She posted a short video of her making her way to the shoot and we are falling in love with her all over again.

The show is the Indian version of ‘Lip Sync Battle’ and will see our beloved celebrities fighting each other and lip syncing to the Bollywood songs. This is a first of its kind reality show and it will be interesting to see the celebrities battle each other in this ultimate Bollywood face off ever. In fact, Farah reportedly even invited the makers of the Ameircan version ‘Lip Sync Battle’ on the first day of Hindi version’s shoot.

There goes a popular saying, “You scratch my back, I will scratch yours!” And the people in tinsel town effortlessly do it. Well, it’s as simple as “you sing praises to me and I will return the favour”.

Every time a film releases in B-town, the makers of the film often hold a special screening for B-town people. The close friends and colleagues are invited and they become the first one to critic the film before anyone of us gets the chance. The Khans are often seen raving about each other’s film, giving us an impression that it is the best film of the year maybe. Do you remember SRK before ‘Tubelight’? Or Aamir Khan after watching ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’?

These celebs rule social media and often tweet about what they think about the film. Sometimes the reviews are genuine and we vouch for such movies too. However, lately, it looks like a trend that no matter how pathetic and disappointing the film is, the prominent celebs go all gaga over it.

Well, we are all up for the right of opinion but at least don’t fake it to the world. When a movie is a disaster, call it so! Famous Bollywood celebs like Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan, Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt are often seen tweeting great things about the film. And when we go and watch that film, all we tend to wonder is if we both saw the same film?

Here are 5 Bollywood movies of 2017 that tanked at the box-office and left us disappointed but bro, you got to see how celebs made it sound like a great piece of art:

Jab Harry Met Sejal

Jab Harry Met Sejal(c) Red Chilies Entertainment

Lately none of Shah Rukh Khan’s films are performing well at the box office. But how can we ever blame King Khan for it? After all he is the badshah and the whole B-town needs to bow to the king. Exactly was the case when ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ released. While the whole world couldn’t get over the fact that why such a film was even created in the first place, you had director Ashutosh Gowariker and actress Kriti Sanon tweeting boosting SRK’s ego.

Shah Rukh reloaded with ROMANCE!! @AnushkaSharma bahuuut SARAS chhe! @iamsrk CHANGAA hai ji CHANGAA!! #IMTIAZALI  ‘s #JHMS behtareen hai!

— Ashutosh Gowariker (@AshGowariker) August 3, 2017

Love RomComs..and when its SRK,its a MUST watch!Cant wait to see #JHMS�!Love to my 3 favourites @iamsrk sir, Imtiaz sir, @AnushkaSharma ��🤗

Tubelight

Tubelight(c) SKF

This Salman Khan film was the most disappointing film of the year. Based on the 1952 Indo-China war, the film was a lost cause and you don’t have to be a ‘Tubelight’ to figure this one out. However, Preity Zinta was on another tangent and rooted for this film to be a blockbuster. Unfortunately, not everyone felt the same.

Congrats @BeingSalmanKhan & @kabirkhankk for yet another blockbuster� Absolutely LOVED��the time, innocence & world of #Tubelight�Ting 😘 pic.twitter.com/L22eXkIyM5

— Preity zinta (@realpreityzinta) June 23, 2017

#Tubelight is an innocent film that warms the heart and touches the soul. It gives us faith and love in a time of war. @kabirkhankk

— Dia Mirza (@deespeak) June 23, 2017

 

A Gentlemen

A Gentelman(c) Fox India

A movie that was too cliché to even watch. Sidharth Malhotra didn’t fit the bill. But you had filmmaker Karan Johar applauding the film as if it was a masterpiece.

#AGentlemanSundarSusheelRisky is a full on entertaining ride with kick ass action and many laughs! A non stop adrenaline rush!!!

— Karan Johar (@karanjohar) August 24, 2017

#AGentlemanSundarSusheelRisky …@S1dharthM looks looks and acts like a bonafide action star! In full form! And @Asli_Jacqueline is LOVELY!!

— Karan Johar (@karanjohar) August 24, 2017

Really Karan? Were you day dreaming?

 

Raabta

Raabta(c) T Series

This is one of those movies that literally had the power to fuck with your head so bad, that you couldn’t help yourself from using curse words. But then B-town loved it. Varun was all ‘blahhhh….blahhh…..blahhh’. All those who heard him, regretted booking their tickets big time. On the other hand Ayushmann Khurana was just being nice to his co-star Kriti Sannon, after all they were working on a film together.

#Raabta should be only seen in the theatre make it your weekend watch. Best of luck to the entire team #dinoo. Hearing great stuff

— Varun PREM Dhawan (@Varun_dvn) June 9, 2017

#Raabta is pure unadulterated love. @itsSSR is such a superstar material with immense range. @kritisanon is fab and an adorable revelation�👌

— Ayushmann Khurrana (@ayushmannk) June 8, 2017

 

Begum Jaan

Begum Jaan(c) Vishesh Films

Well, there is no doubt that Vidya Balan aced her character, but the film wasn’t good enough to entertain the audience and make big bucks at the box office. The film tanked but man Alia Bhatt’s tweet would have definitely made you believe otherwise. If I am not mistaken wasn’t the film produced by her home production? #JustSaying!

#BegumJaan releases today! Such a moving film with such powerful performances! @vidya_balan is fantastic!! A big dose of COURAGE!  Go watch👊

If you know and understand that writing press releases are great for your business and just need someone in Dallas, Texas to write a press release it for you, then go straight to the contact form, fill it out or call and let’s get the ball rolling. If you are simply exploring the benefits of press releases, then read on.

Dallas, Texas

Professional Press Release Writer in Dallas, Texas, USA

Savvy professional marketers have always known the impact of press releases and have been using them to the advantage of their employers and clients. We have been using them in our business for over 20 years now. Before the internet was available as a commercial medium, we would focus on the general news media as well as trade publications. Once we figured it out, we started using it so effectively that we were getting more press coverage than competitors who were 20 times larger than us. That meant we were getting promotional exposure worth tens of thousands of dollars – for FREE. Press Releases have been good for our business and they can be good for your business too.

Don’t you wish you could get the coverage that big business gets? Whether you live in Dallas, Texas or elsewhere in the world, you can benefit from sending out press releases.

When the internet got commercialized, we adapted our press releases accordingly. We used to have one press release format, now we have two press release formats. We were getting traffic from the print media then. Now we target both print, online media, search engines and yes we target the user directly – all through press releases. That does not mean we only use press releases – no – that means press releases are an integral part of our marketing campaigns.

After the economic meltdown of 2008, a lot of people became unemployed. Many could not find jobs so they became self employed and naturally took to the internet as a means of soliciting business. The majority of these hardworking self employed people are not professional marketers and end up gravitating towards whatever the latest buzz is. They spend a lot of money buying expensive courses and that is all fine and dandy but they end up missing on some great fundamental tools that have worked in the past and continue to work today in the world of the internet and new media.

Just setting up a website does you no good. You have to drive traffic to it. Traffic does not just show up by itself. You have to drive it to your website. How do you do it? There are a whole range of things you can do but one of the best methods is to send out a press release.

Dallas, Texas

Professional Press Release Writer in Dallas, Texas, USA

Many people think sending out press releases must be a complex job costing them $1,000s of dollars. That cannot be farther from the truth. It does not cost anything.

A conventional press release reaches the end user / reader via the editor who acts as a gatekeeper and filters which press releases are worthy of publishing and which are not. If you use the right press release format, write the way they want it, you have a very good chance of getting published as a news story. A press release getting published as a news story has far more weight than an advertisement. That is why some Ads try to mimic a news story and mention in small print ‘paid advertisement’. It’s worth it and they know it.

A reasonably internet savvy person creates his own news streams by subscribing to various feeds and getting them on his news reader. He can also set alerts that notify him when news are available in his area of interest. He decides what to read and when to read and does not want any editor to decide that for him. Your job is to present him information via feeds and reach him directly.

Search Engines have opened up a whole new world. What is the search engine trying to do? It is trying to please the user so he will keep coming back to it whenever he has something on his mind. The more often the user visits, the more Ads the search engine can serve him and the more money it makes.

Don’t you feel like you are being used no matter what the technology. Yep. That’s how it is. However; this time you are on the other side. You are inviting the search engine to use you so you can use it to reach the end user. Ironic? Maybe. The search engine is trying to crawl fresh content so it can please it’s user. You feed it fresh content via Press Release sites. Why not feed it directly? You do – by letting the search engine index our pages – but the search engine views a Press Release Distribution site as a more likely source for fresh content and crawls it several times a day. Besides, Google gives a Press Release Distribution site more weightage or a higher page rank. That means a page originating from a PR site will carry greater weight. Quite often you will see your press release via a PR site show up high on searches with your own page nowhere in site.

A link or URL originating from a PR site carries greater weight. If your press release got published in 20 PR sites, those are 20 high ranking links pointing to your website. That is invaluable as the more links from high ranking sites pointing to your site raises the page rank of your site. When your site’s page rank goes up, you start showing up higher on relevant searches.

Let’s recap. Whether you live in the Dallas, Texas area or anywhere else in the world, the benefits of Press Releases are universal. By sending out press releases, you get traffic from:

  • Press Releases that show up in Google Alerts and RSS feeds directly on the readers desktop.
  • Press Releases that get printed as news stories in conventional newspapers, journals and trade publications.
  • Press Releases that show up in searches.
  • Your own site showing up higher in searches.

Convinced?

If there’s one character who we have felt a range of emotions for, it’s Theon Greyjoy. From contempt to pity to rage to pit again, the audience has been left confused whether to despise him or feel sorry for him. The man lost his manhood and his sanity to the vicious Ramsay Bolton and life was never the same of him again. But Theon did make a baller of a comeback when he stood up for Yara in front of his men. Probably the first time he realized not having balls could actually be good for him!

Alfie Allen, the actor who plays Theon, seems to have a lot of sass in real life though. An extremely talented actor – it’s not easy to portray the layered personality of Theon-Reek-Theon – he has a sense of humour to match it.

This Fan Trolled Theon With A Balls Joke & The Actor's Reply Was More Brutal Than The Dothraki

Recently, a fan Olivia Bowes clicked a selfie with him and shared it on her Instagram  profile. Trying to crack a ‘balls’ joke about Theon, she captioned the picture: “Unlike Theon I grew some balls and asked for a photo.”

Unlike Theon I grew some balls and asked for a photo��

But Alfie would have none of it. The actor replied with a comeback so savage even Ramsay Bolton would feel the heat.

Well, there are tons of iconic comic characters that we all love. However, the Joker from Batman has always been our favourite. Despite being ruthless and a psychopath, he is a legend and we are guilty of enjoying his madness. After all who doesn’t like an evil one?

And now there are reports that Warner Brothers are trying their level best to cast Oscar-winner Leonardo DiCaprio as the Joker in the new origin movie. The studio wants the actor to play the titular character, which will explore the story of Batman’s super villain, as reported by Hollywoodreporter.com.

Joker (c) Giphy

The buzz itself has got many excited, including us. And we already can see DiCaprio donning the dark shade and setting the screen on fire with his magnificent performance.

If reports are to be believed, Warner Bros. is trying to convince producer-director Martin Scorsese to get the famous actor on board. Though nothing is official as of yet, as they still need to seal the deal with Scorsese in the first place.

 

Joker (c) Giphy

Though DiCaprio is yet to be approached, this move clearly signifies that Warner Bros. is planning to carve out its DC future. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the banner has a very specific intention to bring iconic filmmaker Scorsese on board as he is the road to DiCaprio.

For people who ain’t getting the point yet, Scorsese and DiCaprio have worked together several times giving us incredible films like The Aviator, Gangs of New York, The Departed, Shutter Island and The Wolf of Wall Street.

In fact, it is also being said that the studio desires to witness the critical success of Christopher Nolan’s Batman films and aims to make to the Oscars.

Joker (c) Giphy

But someone ain’t happy about this. Actor Jared Leto, who in past was seen playing the Joker in DC Extended Universe movie ‘Suicide Squad’ and now is getting his own Joker spin off with Margot Robbie, was caught off-guard when he heard about this. Apparently, he also made his displeasure clear to his agents.

To write the script of that painted face criminal mind, Todd Phillips and Scott Silver have been hired. Though we still don’t get how Phillips fits the bill as he has written comedy films like ‘Hangover’. Though other details are being kept a secret we believe the cat will soon be out of the bag. And we can’t wait for that moment.

Joker (c) Twitter

If theories are to be believed, the film will throw light on how Joker was bullied when he was young. And that’s not it, we might also get to see the mad love between the Clown of the Crime and his former psychiatrist Harley Quinn and how things end up with their breakup. This bit of information is already making us intrigued and excited about the plot and the film.

Now, all we got to do is keep calm and wait for the official announcement. Till then tell us how you feel about Leonardo DiCaprio playing the Joker.

There has been an avalanche of stuff we have been reading about the ‘GOT’ hangover. The finale is over, Dany and Jon have rocked the boat, Tyrion is turning into shades of grey, Cersei and Jaime have parted ways for now, Viserion spits icy fire , Bran I still staring at walls, and Lord Baelish has been casually punched in the throat by Arya’s knife. The finale was a roller coaster and was a good watch, which is why all of us are showing withdrawal symptoms.

Anyways, as you might know, that a BTS series has been launched by HBO. It’s a 7 part series which will show you exactly how the episodes were shot. Yeah sure, that sounds exciting, but about our dose of high end drama? The forbidden sex, with a murder involved, and a war waiting to start in the background. We all were accustomed to that setting. The answer to that hangover lies in the mysterious, cool new trailer that’s been going viral and is titled ‘Westeros’. It’s a fan made trailer and shows ‘Game Of Thrones’ in a modern day setting.  It gives a glimpse of Westeros would look like, if it was here in 2017.

Sky scrapers have replaced castles, sniper and missiles have replaced weapons, and modern day cars have replaced horses. The trailer even shows a street named Targaryen Square.

Fans are begging for producers to actually convert this video into a full fledged series because it looks so dank and cool.

Aamir Khan’s ‘Dangal’ has not just ruled Indian box office but even had set China’s box office on fire. And if you thought it was done making records, you were all wrong. Looking at its present performance, we are sure, it’s all set to make another record.

After India and China, the movie based on real life story of wrestler Mahavir Phogat and his daughters is now taking Hong Kong by a storm.

Dangal(c) gif.com

When the film was released in China, it sparked the feminist debate but despite all this, the film was loved by the people. In fact, the craze of the film was so big that they even paid tribute to Uncle Khan, as Aamir is fondly called there.

And now it looks like Hong Kong loves it too. The film was released there on 24th August and has been ruling the box office there as well. Within span of just a week the film has earned six million Hong Kong dollars and still counting.

#Dangal crosses HK$ 6 mn in Hong Kong… DREAM RUN continues…
Mon HK$ 687,848
Total [incl previews]: HK$ 6,159,421 [₹ 5.04 cr]@Rentrak

— taran adarsh (@taran_adarsh) August 29, 2017

Nitesh Tiwari’s film is already the highest grossing film in Bollywood and its smashing performance in China surprised many. In fact, the collection of Dangal was way more than its domestic collection. Well, we can definitely say that Aamir Khan knows how to win people’s heart.

“Dangal is an extremely special film for us, a story that we strongly believed in continues to win hearts across borders. It’s overwhelming that even today — nine months after its release in India, the film dominates the box office wherever it goes — including in new and relatively uncharted waters like in mainstream Hong Kong this weekend. It reinstates our belief that a good story, if made well can connect everywhere,” said Amrita Pandey, Vice President, Studio- Disney India.

Aamir Khan (c) Twitter

On the first day, Dangal made 85,000 million dollars in Hong Kong. Many were disappointed when the film couldn’t reach the mark of 2000 crore but looking at the scenario in Hong Kong, one can be hoped that the film might make another record soon.
