The makers of the ‘ Race’ franchise are all set to take their film a notch higher with an ensemble cast starring Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Bobby Deol and others. While its on-the-set pictures and posters have been creating a buzz, its trailer remains the most anticipated one.

Apparently tired of his own games, Salman finally tweeted saying that the actual trailer of ‘Race 3’ will be unveiled at 5.15 pm today. The ‘Dabangg’ Khan was reportedly trolling his fans as they were abusing ‘Race 3’ team for delaying the trailer release..

15 Madhuri Dixit Songs That Made Every Millennial's Heart Go 'Dhak Dhak' In The 90s

Celebrities

May 152018

Every 90s kid has a memory that he/she can’t let go of. It’s been years but things from our growing up years have now become a part of the popular culture, and millennials have aced the art of not letting go of things that they held close to their hearts. Singing and dancing to Bollywood numbers being on top, TBH!

Be it Govinda-Karishma thumkas or listening to some classic Indian music tracks, everything has been sacred to us. While today’s generation is obsessed with the Kardashians or Jake and Logan Paul, we, on the other hand, were smitten by the beautiful Madhuri Dixit.

If it wasn’t for her, 90s would have never been the same. Madhuri was the heart of Bollywood. Heads turned with every move of hers. The admiration, the respect, and the fanbase that Madhuri earned at that time still exists. In fact, believe it or not getting that stature for any actress in today’s date is impossible.

It took Madhuri just a few years to earn everything. Be it her persona, her stardom, or her screen presence—it felt like she was a God’s creation born to do this. While we saw her growing, we somewhere always knew she was a page straight out of history in making. Madhuri didn’t have any competition because she belonged to a different league altogether and dominated the industry.

At one moment she could be that girl next door, and another she could tease us with her raw sensuality. Madhuri was a synonym of perfection and there isn’t anyone who can take that crown away from her till date.

While her acting was one thing that stunned us, she was also the dancing queen who could set the stage on fire with her moves. She was beautiful and at the same time sensual and desirable and a lot more than what words can describe.

As the actress turns a year older (honestly, we should say younger), we bring a list of her iconic songs that made our growing years uber cool and happening. TBH, we owe the 90s and a lot of our memories to this goddess!

Ek Do Teen

This is one of those tracks that can make us go tra-la-la till day. Well, the makers did try to revamp this amazing track from ‘Tezaab’ for ‘Baaghi 2’ but Jacqueline was no Madhuri.

Humko Aaj Kal Hai Intezaar

There hasn’t been anybody on this planet whose heart didn’t flutter seeing Madhuri in this sexy fisherwoman avatar. Adding this song to our list is a must hence. Grab this opportunity to listen to this amazing track once again.

Tamma Tamma

Well, Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan did make us dance in the new version of Tamma Tamma. But if it wasn’t for Madhuri we wouldn’t have heard that song in the first place ever. And let us all unanimously agree that what Madhuri did, even Alia and Varun couldn’t recreate.

Didi Tera Devar Deewana

Tell me, tell me you are one of those crazy Madhuri fans, who would instantly dance to this number from ‘Hum Aapke Hai Kaun’ on any wedding!

Dhak Dhak

If there is one song that can make us go weak in our knees even today, it’s this one. Anil Kapoor and Madhuri’s chemistry in ‘Dhak Dhak’ from ‘Beta’ was the most talked about thing during those days.

Akhiyaan Milaoon Kabhi

Do we need to say anything for this one?

Mera Piya Ghar Aaya

If you haven’t danced to this one matching steps with Madhuri, you ain’t a 90s kid then!

Channe Ke Khet Mein

And that step, you know what we are talking about, right?

Key Sera Sera

Yeah, this was our favourite during the Walkman days!

Maar Daala & Kaahe Chhed Mohe

If it wasn’t for Madhuri and her aura, Chandramukhi would have never looked so breathtaking.

Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai

That signature step…how can we get over that? And Ila Arun’s voice to match with Madhuri’s sensual dance moves!

Are Re Are

While Shah Rukh Khan redefined romance for us, it was this song by Madhuri and SRK from ‘Dil Toh Pagal Hai’ that made us believe in true love.

O Re Piya

This was Madhuri’s comeback movie after a long hiatus, what a comeback it was! Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s voice and Madhuri’s phenomenal steps created a song that makes you fall in love again and again.

Ghagra

Of course, this is not from the 90s, and yet we couldn’t help but include this one in our list. And who would have thought a song around ghagra could be the top one on the chartbuster for a long, long time?

Celebrities

May 152018

If there is one thing that Salman Khan can pull off blindly, it is entertaining his fans thoroughly. Bhai’s 2017 ended with ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ hitting the screens and 2018 was all about his movie dominating the box office.

Following his Eid tradition, Salman is back with ‘Race 3’ and all we can say is that it is everything his fans have been waiting for. After months of waiting, the trailer of ‘Race 3’ dropped today and the Internet is going crazy.

Race 3 (c) SKFilms

Using the best of digital space, Salman showcased the trailer in a 360-degree live video, connecting with millions of fans across the world. This was the first time in Bollywood that the makers came up with such a promotional approach. But when it comes to Salman Khan, exceptional things are meant to happen.

The multi-starrer film has a stellar cast including Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Saqib Saleem, Daisy Shah and Bobby Deol in significant roles.

Race 3 (c) SKFilms

It is one of the most anticipated sequels of the ‘Race’ franchise. With the first two instalments having made a lot of money at the box office, Salman’s sequel is expected to do well.

Not many know this, but the trailer you just saw was actually released only after Salman gave a nod. He was very particular about the scenes that he wanted in the trailer and we totally know why.

Race 3 (c) SKFilms

Filled with high octane action sequences to stunning shots, this movie looks like a total paisa-vasool entertainer. Shot in picturesque locations, the cinematography will blow your mind.

Race 3 (c) SK Films

What’s interesting is the fact that we get to see Salman in an avatar that we have never seen before and Anil Kapoor is amazing as always. Salman plays the titular role of Sikander who describes himself as ‘selfless over selfish’.

Coming to Salman and Jacqueline’s sizzling chemistry, it is going to get your heart racing.

After making beautiful appearances at the red carpet of Cannes Film Festival, Bollywood divas- Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Kangana Ranaut, Sonam Kapoor have returned to the Bay, after spelling their magic at the French Riviera. Along with these stunning beauties, Pakistani actress Mahira Khan also made a mark at the prestigious festival.

Mahira Khan made her Cannes debut this year and chose vibrant colours to represent her brand. The actress walked the red carpet for cosmetics giant L’Oreal Paris. To end her Cannes trip, the Raees actress wore a pastel saree with a ruffled border, black sleeveless blouse with diamonds cut on it. Hair tied in a fish-tail braid, she looked ethereal.

She captioned the picture as, “I don’t know how kids these days post so many pictures so quickly.. this is killin’ me! (in a good way, in a good way..) Thank you @menahelandmehreen @alieljewellers P.S this was from last evening.”

Earlier, she had worn a black off-shoulder dress after the ensemble she was due to wear got stuck at the customs and didn’t turn up in time. “I’m nervous,” she wrote before making her red carpet debut, but her confident demeanour was a head-turner at the gala, where she and Sonam walked one after another. Mahira dedicated her representation at Cannes as an “ode to the people I have loved so much…. and have inspired me since I was a little girl. Starting from my Ama to Minaal and Rooha… down to all my girls back home in Pakistan”.

The actress excitingly had taken to her Instagram account to make her Cannes announcement. Adding some humour to her post, she had written, “My name is Cannes and I’m not a (sic).”

It will be a working birthday for Madhuri Dixit

Celebrities

May 152018

Madhuri Dixit’s team is planning a surprise for the actor on her big day

Madhuri Dixit Nene

Madhuri Dixit turns a year older today. She’s currently busy promoting her first Marathi film, Bucket List, and simultaneously shooting for her two Bollywood films, Total Dhamaal and Kalank. She is also tied up with her maiden Marathi production, 15th August. It will be a working birthday for Mads even though her team is planning a surprise for the actor on her big day. We are sure hubby Sriram Nene and sons, Arin and Rayaan also have something lined up.

Spending over three decades in the industry hasn’t taken away from Madhuri Dixit-Nene‘s enthusiasm in trying her hand at something new. After 34 years of facing the arc lights, the actor is making her debut in Marathi cinema with Bucket List. “I received a few offers in my mother tongue earlier, but nothing excited me as much as Bucket List. I found my character extremely relatable,” says Dixit, who plays a housewife who gets a new lease of life after a heart transplant.

Last seen on the big screen in Gulaab Gang (2014), Dixit is now raring to go — she has launched her production house RNM Moving Pictures. Enjoying her role as producer, she says, “There are such good subjects in Marathi cinema. Also, there are stars in Marathi films but they aren’t as big as the ones in Hindi film industry. Content is always the star here.”
