It is the season of Bollywood weddings which started from Virushka’s wedding in December, and the recently concluded wedding of Mohit Marwah. We don’t know about us common mortals, but love is clearly in the air for our celebrities.

When we saw the Hindi version of ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ trailer,( https://www.mensxp.com/entertainment/hollywood/43279-the-avengers-infinity-war-hindi-trailer-is-way-better-than-any-bhojpuri-movie-ever-made.html ) we didn’t think it could get any better than that. That was, in itself, the perfect parody, and that too unintentionally. But, a bunch of Malaysian guys are taking it up a notch (or, maybe down, we can’t decide).

Everyone is so excited about the upcoming Avengers movie and honestly, that is all we can talk about, after all, it’s probably the biggest release of the year. While we’re all desperately waiting for the movie to hit the screens, these guys found the perfect way to deal with the pain of waiting – by recreating the whole freaking first trailer.

But, no it’s not exactly a recreation. We all know that no one can reach the level of perfection that is the movie, but there is always the scope for making it more hilarious, right? That’s exactly what these students did.

Improving the original trailer (jk, don’t @ me), they made a low budget version and if the spoof doesn’t make you laugh, then you’re probably not human. Check it out!

Who did it better? @MarvelStudios pic.twitter.com/k504zAadGB

They didn’t miss out a single scene, but the best part is the creative use of all the regular household things that you won’t ever find in the Avengers. Let’s see some hilarious highlights that deserve a special mention.

I’ll start with my favorite – the plates.

Okay, for the rest, watch the whole video, because it will honestly make your day. The video was so hilarious that even the Russo Brothers, the directors of ‘Infinity War’, replied with an actual open invitation to direct Avengers 5. How cool is that? 

Aiman. You guys are geniuses. Are you available to direct Avengers 5? https://t.co/8IIS3hacBu

We are all looking forward to their next Avengers movie, it’ll be the best one, I can feel it.

Ever since Irrfan Khan revealed that he has been diagnosed with a rare disease, his ardent fans across the globe have been praying for his welfare. The news of him being unwell started various speculations. However, the talented actor assured his fans that he would keep them updated regarding his condition. 

Everything was made clear when he revealed that he has been diagnosed with a Neuro-Endocrine tumor. Just a few days ago, he traveled to London and has been getting treatment for the same.

— Irrfan (@irrfank) March 16, 2018

Amidst all this, the actor took to his Instagram and shared an inspiring poem that made us ponder about life as well. The post clearly gives us an insight of what Irrfan might be thinking in his current state. It is a thought-provoking piece and it just makes us admire Irrfan’s strength and admiration to fight back. 

He wrote, “God speaks to each of us as he makes us, then walks with us silently out of the night.These are the words we dimly hear. You, sent out beyond your recall, go to the limits of your longing. Embody me. Flare up like a flame and make big shadows I can move in. Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final. Don’t let yourself lose me. Nearby is the country they call life. You will know it by its seriousness Give me your hand #rainermariarilke.”

During this hard time, the film fraternity has requested everyone to give his family space and privacy. At present, Irrfan Khan’s movie ‘Blackmail’ is all set to hit the screens and people are very curious about it. The movie looks pretty interesting and the concept looks out of the box.

Next in line is Vishal Bhardwaj’s movie, where he will be seen sharing screen space with Deepika Padukone. The director has already announced that he will reschedule the film until Irrfan is back.

Till then we wish Irrfan Khan a speedy recovery. Get well soon superstar!

As Shriya Saran tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend, Andrei Koscheev, we got our hands on some inside pics and videos from their wedding

Shriya Saran with husband Andrei Koscheev

After repeatedly denying rumours of her marriage with long-time Russian boyfriend, Andrei Koscheev, the South and Bollywood actress, Shriya Saran finally tied the knot. Many pictures surfacing on the Internet suggest that the wedding took place in Udaipur. It was a very low-key affair with only Manoj Bajpayee and veteran Shabana Azmi in attendance at the duo’s wedding. 

Also, a video has been circulating on social media, wherein, Andrei is seen narrating a romantic speech for Shriya Saran in Hindi. The Drishyam actress was really touched by this gesture and buried a peck on his lips. Andrei even elaborated the lines in English for the ones who are unaware of Hindi as a language.

Translating the Hindi speech he said, “If someone loves you, they love you the way you are. If someone asks you to change for love, that’s not love that’s compromise. In love, we do not compromise.”

The pretty bride was quick to ask him, “You are telling me you will accept all my madness,” to which he replied saying “Yes I will.”
She joked saying, “My friends thought I will change for once.”

After conveying she has changed a little, he said, “Because love is a huge work, work on yourself and her love makes me better every day.” Andrei is a national-level tennis player and the owner of a restaurant chain in Moscow.

Be it love, heartbreak, romance or tragedy, Bollywood has a song for your every mood. While some of our desi tracks have to power to bring tectonic changes to our emotions, there are some songs that simply knock the wind out of us with their absurdity.

It’s amazing to see how our B-town lyricists at times can go overboard in expressing their views and can literally change everything, that till date might have made sense to you.

Here’s a list of Bollywood songs with crazy lyrics that we totally love, but for the life of us can’t understand.

1. Badtameez Dil- ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’

“Paan me pudina dekha, naak ka nagina dekha,

chikni chameli dekhi, chikna kamina dekha,

chaand cheater hoke cheat kiya toh,

Saare taare bole gilli gilli akha.”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

Ranbir, we love you man, but WTF. What were the lyricists thinking?

2. ABCDEFGHI – ‘Hum Saath Saath Hai’

“A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

I love you!

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

I love you!”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

This song literally made our childhood, but try listening to it now and you’ll feel like stabbing someone.

3. Where’s The Party Tonight? – ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’

 “Where’s the party tonight?

Somewhere down the road.

Where’s the party tonight?

On the dance floor.”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

Okay, so this one is not so far out. But when a song answers its own question, we have a problem.

4. Aaya Mausam Dosti Ka- ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’

“Tum ladki ho, mein ladka hu.”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

Thanks, man, THAAANKKKSS! We never knew our gender before this.

5. Hookah Bar- ‘Khiladi 786’

 “Tera pyaar pyaar pyaar, hooka bar.”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

Yea, we all love the occasional Hookah sessions with the gang, but I simply couldn’t understand why is one’s love like a Hookah bar? If anyone of you did, please let me know.

6. Ande Ka Funda- ‘Jodi No. 1’

“Anda agar na hota to murgiyaan na hoti, murgiyon ke bin maze ki partiyaan na hoti, gar partiyaan na hoti to aashiqui na hoti, jo aashiqui na hoti to zindagi na hoti,

ande se milti murghi murgi se milta andam, patna ho ya batinda ghar ghar mein milta anda, is mein chupa hai jeevan ka fal safa. Aao sikhao tume ande ka funda, yeh nahin pyare koi maamule banda.”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

I can’t even…can you?

7. Sunny Sunny Sunny- ‘Yaariyan’

“Aaj blue hai paani paani paani paani paani paani,

Aur din bhi sunny sunny sunny sunny sunny sunny.”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

Stop right there, yes the water is blue, we get it.

8. Dum Maaro Dum- ‘Dum Maaro Dum’

“Unche se uncha banda, potty peh bethe nanga.”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

It’s clearly the case of lack of common sense! After all who goes for *ugh* potty with their pants on? We didn’t need a song to say that! But yeah, thanks for the information.

9. Dreamum Wakeupum – ‘Aiyaa’

“Dreamum Wakeupum Critical Conditionum”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

Have a crush on a Malayali? Well, your language guide is here. Just add “umm” after every word and you are sorted unless the person thinks you need real help.

10. Jab Tak Rahega Samose Mein Aaloo- ‘Mr & Mrs Khiladi’

“Jab tak rahega samose mein aaloo,

tera rahunga, o meri shaloo.”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

Never use this line to impress someone, believe us when we say so!

11. Sheila Ki Jawani- ‘Tees Maar Khan’

“My name is Sheila

Sheila ki jawani

I’m too sexy for you

main tere haath na aani”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

Well, why are you telling us all of this btw?

12. Caller Tune- ‘Humshakals’  

“Mujhe apni bana le caller tune…soniye.”

Hilarious Bollywood Lyrics That Will Make You Think Twice Before Singing Them Out Loud

Nice suggestion. I just wish we knew if she did indeed make him his caller tune.

13. Aa Khushi Se Khudkushi Kar Le- ‘Darling’

“Mai bhi yahan tu bhi yahan, betabiyaan bhee hai jawan

mere janiya mere ishk kaa dil me zeher bhar le,

aa khushee se khudkhushee karle “

I hope someone checked on the lyricist after they wrote his. Clearly, this was a cry for help!

14. Shirt Da Button- ‘Kya Super Cool Hai Hum’

“Haye teri shirt da main ta button soniye.

baalon ka tere main haye clip ho gaya”

If a boy ever tries to say all this to a girl, he just might land in prison for eve-teasing!

15. Ek Chumma Tu Mujhko Udhar De De- ‘Chhote Sarkar’

“Ek chumma tu mujhko udhaar dai de,

aur badle may U.P, Bihar lai le.”

That’s just Lalu Prasad Yadav talking!

Whether you are using WordPress, Joomla or Drupal, sooner or later you may end up in a situation that an off-the-shelf plugin just won’t work for you. In such a situation, you’ll need a custom plugin developed only for you.

Custom Plugin Developers in the Lyon, France


Custom Plugin in PHP

Who does custom plugin development? We do. Do all developers develop custom plugins. No not all. A normal run of the mill WordPress developer for example is not that good at core PHP and would avoid developing custom plugins. Being a company, we have different developers for different tasks and have core PHP developers who are great at developing custom plugins or modifying existing plugins.

Application specific custom plugins development

Some custom plugins are more geared towards presenting information in a certain way on the user facing front end. Others are meant for internal data collection and reporting and are meant for the site owners / admin. How long does it take to develop a custom plugin and how much does it cost? There is no telling beforehand like that. We first try to understand your requirements, then we give you a quote accordingly. Just call us or fill out the contact form and help us understand what your requirements are and why an off-the-shelf plugin simply won’t work for you. Looking forward to helping you out.

Ronit Roy admits his debut web outing Kehne Ko Humsafar Hai deals with a subject previously explored, but promises it has been treated differently

Ronit Roy
Ronit Roy

After taking a year-long hiatus from television to focus on his Bollywood projects, Ronit Roy has returned to camp Ekta Kapoor for the web series, Kehne Ko Humsafar Hai. Exploring the subject of an extra-marital affair in the Mona Singh starrer, Roy says his character is certain to pique curiosity. 

Edited excerpts from the interview:

Kehne Ko Humsafar Hai seems to be a run-of-the-mill story. What according to you makes it unique?
Just like there are only seven notes in music, there are limited human emotions. Every year, we make around 500-odd films in India. There aren’t that many stories to tell in the world. Our show is about a man who is in his mid-40s. He is involved in an extra-marital affair. So, yes, we have seen several permutations and combinations of the same story. The idea has been explored before. But what makes our show different is the characters’ play, and the circumstances they find themselves in. My character, Rohit Mehra has simply fallen in love with another person. I call the emotion divinity. Rohit, unfortunately, is trapped in his emotions. None of the characters are bad, except mine.

You are back in Ekta’s camp. How does that happen so often?
Whenever Ekta feels she has a role suitable for me, she will approach me. I find no reason to say no. I am loyal towards her. Whenever I talk to her, and whatever she has offered me, has always helped me progress.

Television and cinema have changed with time. What are the primary differences that you have noticed?
For one, my size has changed (laughs). Honestly, the industry is a different place today when compared to how it was when I started. The reins of power lie with those helming different positions. Those who have the power, are wise, and are doing things correctly. Also, the kind of scripts that I have heard over the past six months are refreshing. The industry is filled with young blood. Also, I think the craze about daily soap is long gone. In the past, my shows have gone on for almost 10 years. Today, that’s incomprehensible. My driver drops me on set and, post that, he watches films on his cell phone for the following 10 hours until I’m done. So, digital consumption is high.

Tell us something about sharing screen space with Mona Singh and Gurdeep Kohli.
I don’t know Gurdeep very well. My association with her is limited to the show. Of course, I am aware of her talent. Mona and I go back a long way. My chemistry with her is entirely different.

Mona claims that you are not the serious person you are made out to be.
I don’t know where that persona came from. People call me the Amitabh Bachchan of television, so they believe I am serious [like him]. Truthfully, even he is not.

Ali Fazal talks about his prep for Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Milan Talkies

Ali Fazal
Ali Fazal

Six years after being involved in a musical chair of sorts — as the film jumped from one actor’s lap to another’s — Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Milan Talkies finally went on floors in Lucknow yesterday. Evidently ecstatic to return to his hometown, lead actor Ali Fazal says he took to the film with renewed vigour.

While there has been sufficient speculation about the actor’s role in the romance drama, Fazal refuses to divulge details. However, in a chat with mid-day, he spills the beans on his preparation for the film, which also touches upon the plight of single screen owners in the age of multiplexes. “I am connecting with owners of single screens, and other people who have worked in theatres. This includes the ushers, and those who operate the reels,” says the actor, who has also apparently met trade pundits to learn of their operations. “Growing up in Lucknow, I visited several single screens, so I am refreshing my memories. It is an interesting process.”

Meanwhile, Ali Fazal also shed weight for his part, since he needed to look lean for the film. “I recently wrapped up [the web series] Mirzapur, which needed me to look muscular. So, it took me some time to lose the pounds.”

Milan Talkies, also starring Ashutosh Rana, Sanjay Mishra, Yashpal Sharma and Sikander Kher, sees Dhulia as the writer of the story, screenplay, and dialogues. Fazal is paired alongside newbie Shraddha Srinath in the venture.
