Yes, that’s true, Harry Potter’s birthday in the book is 31st July 1980, according to which he turns 37 this year. From Harry meeting Hagrid to making lifetime friendships with Hermione and Ron, let us take you through a nostalgic ride of our favourite Harry Potter moments.

This moment will forever be legendary because Harry caught the snitch when he was just in his first year considering the fact that first year-ers were never even allowed to play the Quidditch game in the first place!

The Quidditch World Cup

The Quidditch World Cup is the best moment in the Goblet Of Fire, and nothing beats the excitement of watching witches and wizards from all over the world gather around a stadium to witness the most awaited Four Hundred and Twenty Second Quidditch World Cup

Harry has always told Dobby to not attempt to save his life, but in the Deathly Hallows, Dobby finally gives his life to save Harry and everyone else.

After Shahrukh Khan's movie – ‘Fan' which was entirely based on a character who was his lookalike, a lot of pictures surfaced on the internet of men paying tribute to SRK by trying to dress up like him. But, none of the lookalikes seemed even close to the one that we have got here, who himself is a big fan of King Khan.

Just last week, we found Ryan Gosling's doppleganger, and everyone lost their minds when they saw the pictures. 

Wait, there's more. Have you seen the lookalikes of other B-town celebs? Yes, that's right. Some of them are so similar to the original stars that they have been used as body doubles on set. Check them out :-

That's definitely John Abraham's twin

Well, guess what? Hrithik Roshan's lookalike is even more famous than the B-town celeb.

When Shahrukh Khan first shared a picture with Diplo, everyone was curious about the collaboration and how it would turn out. On Sunday, it was confirmed that Shah Rukh Khan will be teaming up with American DJ Diplo for a new song for his upcoming movie 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'.

The music artist posted awesome pictures of their meeting on Instagram, writing, “Working on something wild with the legend @iamsrk.”

While Bollywood has forever been known to make movies ‘inspired’ by Hollywood, we now hear that the makers of the Hrithik Roshan starrer ‘Kaabil’ have been approached by 20th Century Fox for procuring the film’s remake rights. Sanjay Gupta confirmed the news in an interview as well. “It’s true that Fox, through Tomas Jegeus (President, Fox International Productions) has approached Hrithik. Even though the developments are too premature to talk about at this moment, it is an honour for the team. What is also exciting is that Kaabil has been declared the best film of 2017 via an online poll. So, it’s a double win for us.”

Remaking and being inspired from Hollywood is a common thing in the Hindi film industry but  ‘Kaabil’ would be the first Hindi film to be on the other side Rumour has it that the producers are thinking about casting Hrithik in the lead role and that is damn exciting.

Ironically, when ‘Kaabil’ was released, critics pointed out that Gupta had drawn inspiration from Hollywood’s ‘Blind Fury’ (1989) and even borrowed inspiration from  the Korean super hit film, ‘Broken’ (2014).

Since 2008, Marvel has been known for building their huge cinematic universe, introducing tons of comic-book characters to the world — ranging from rich billionaire philanthropists to talking raccoons. A superhero army hit the stage on Saturday at D23 Expo for Avengers: Infinity War.

Thor (Chris Hemsworth), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.),  Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), among other super-stars, took the fan convention stage along with archvillain Thanos (Josh Brolin).

Marvel Studios chief, Kevin Feige has soaring expectations for the film, which he describes as being – “by far the biggest production in the history of Marvel Studios.”

“I’ve got to admit, these guys have not been together on stage for a long time, and even I find myself geeking out,” said Feige before introducing world-first Infinity War teaser footage.

According to io9, Marvel started by playing a fast recap of where all the Infinity Stones have come from, featuring footage from previously released films. The footage unveiling was the beautiful culmination of the Disney live-action presentation, which left the crowd standing on its toes giving applause that rivaled Thor in its thunder.

After the studio logo, the Guardians of the Galaxy are seen flying around, Chris Pratt’s Star Lord telling the crew to “put on your mean faces.” Something then smashes against their ship’s window: Thor. The footage then starts to explain the unexpected coming together of the various Marvel superhero worlds: It begins aboard The Milano, the spaceship utilized by Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) and his crew in Guardians of the Galaxy.

Black Widow is Blonde.

Asgardian is suddenly tossed violently against the windshield of the Star Lord’s Milano, leading Rocket (Bradley Cooper) to comically exclaim ‘get it off!’

Holy shit, the Avengers Infinity War sizzle reel is unbelievable. The scale is unlike anything I’ve ever seen in franchise filmmaking.

— Eric Vespe (@EricVespe) July 15, 2017

Iron Man, Captain America, Black Panther, and Doctor Strange strike defensive poses, then Thanos emerges from a smoky portal – and then comes Brolin’s voice-over: “Fun really isn’t something one considers when balancing the universe. But this … does put a smile on my face,” the space-tyrant says.

Infinity War footage! Looks incredible. Thanos basically beating the shit out of everyone and ends with him pulling down a planet to throw!

— Empire Magazine (@empiremagazine) July 15, 2017

Although guests were treated to the sneak peak, fans still have a while to wait, as the first half of Infinity War hits theatres May 2018.

‘Wonder Woman’ has proven to be a critical as well as a financial success and has officially passed ‘Deadpool’ at the domestic box office in the US. The latter, fourth-wall-defiling superhero mercenary, recently took to social media to congratulate Wonder Woman. He posted on Instagram to share the following message from his alter-ego

The Merc May Be Filthier, but Her B.O. is Stronger. Congrats #WonderWoman #BoxOfficeBoss

A post shared by Ryan Reynolds (@vancityreynolds) on Jul 10, 2017 at 6:08pm PDT

Patty Jenkins has since responded to Reynolds’ message via Twitter and talked of mutual admiration:

You are the absolute greatest, Ryan Reynolds @VancityReynolds Thank you! We love you and your movie too. ?????? #deadpool #deadpool2 ?????? https://t.co/6Raj3VBEIR

— Patty Jenkins (@PattyJenks) July 11, 2017

Directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot, ‘Wonder Woman’ has grossed more than $368 million in North America, eclipsing ‘Deadpool‘s’ haul of $363 million. In terms of worldwide box office, ‘Deadpool’ still leads, $783 million to $746 million.

Here is the trailer of ‘Wonder Woman’, just in case you missed it the first time.

In addition to passing ‘Deadpool’, the box office haul also makes ‘Wonder Woman’ the tenth highest-grossing superhero movie in the good old USA. ‘Wonder Woman’ is also likely to surpass ‘Deadpool’ at the global box office before its run ends, as the film has yet to open in Japan and is still performing well both in the States and abroad in spite of fierce competition from ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’.

Priyanka Chopra who has taken our nation’s name and fame a step further when she started her Hollywood venture, still has to struggle every now and then to prove her loyalty to India.

Priyanka's Independence Fourth July Tweet Made Indians Furious On Twitter© India Today

Her Namaste that she never forgets just like an accessory which she carries on every Hollywood occasion—whether in an interview or the Oscars—doesn’t seem convincing enough to the Indian viewers as it so happened that America recently celebrated its independence day and PC wished her followers a happy 4th of July, only not foreseeing the aftermath.

Happy Independence Day America..my second home.. #4thOfJuly2017 #RedWhiteBlue pic.twitter.com/2cBpbI93je

— PRIYANKA (@priyankachopra) July 4, 2017

Albeit the tweet was just a general post, it did rub a lot of people the wrong way. Several users bashed her on the comments for calling America her second home and have posted some really nasty comments.

It started off with blaming her for not doing Bollywood movies.

Madam first he Bol do, waise v aap ab Bollywood k movies to karte nahe.

— Pratik Arya (@pratikarya) July 5, 2017

And then dragged Akshay Kumar out of nowhere.

soon it will become ur first home like Akshay kumar’s home in Canada !!

— ubaid saifu (@ubaidsaifu) July 5, 2017

Further trying to accuse her of not being national enough.

How many homes you have Priyanka? Is India your Third Home?????

— ABDUL KHADER (@khaderin) July 4, 2017

While finally some of her Indian fans had her back.

National award winner, Padma Shri recipient, 5 Filmfares (first and only one to win every acting category)… that’s Priyanka Chopra!

— Nitu (@Nitu_23) July 5, 2017

And called her an inspiration for India.

Kuch to log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna. You go girl ! v r so proud of u, u r an inspiration 4 so many ppl out here. Love you!!

— Neelotpal Misra (@Neel_Misra_) July 6, 2017

The actress paid no heed to the nasty comments and was seen raising temperatures at the Paris Fashion Week. The ‘Quantico’ actress looked like an angel in a white asymmetrical Georgio Armani couture dress, and was spotted hanging out with the most famous faces of Hollywood.

Amazing to be with an exceptional group of women celebrating the house of @armani . Lovely evening. @naomiwatts #sophialoren #katewinslet @isabelle.huppert #tangWei

Ever since the dawn of mankind, men have tried seeking various means to understand women and their brain – That’s where astrology comes in. Albeit, Zodiac signs aren’t the most accurate way to determine someone’s personality, yet wouldn’t it be better to at least have a rough idea about someone before you have invested way too much time in them?

So here’s the type of girlfriend you will find under every Zodia sign :- 

1. Aries

(March 21st to April 19th)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© Sarcasm

Aries women are known for their strong, dominant and upbeat personality. A fearless and natural leader, an Aries woman is charismatic, energetic, and dynamic. The first thing about dating an Aries woman that you will notice perhaps is that no three evenings with her will  pass in the same manner. This is because Aries are constantly in search for new things to do and love to immerse themselves in action. Cancer, Aquarius and Pisces are often the most compatible and best long-term matches.

2. Taurus

(April 20th to May 21st)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© pinterest/the bull glyph pictogram

They’re hard to please, for sure. In the beginning of a relationship she will carefully examine her partner to see if they are worthy of her feelings. If a Taurus woman commits to you, then rest assured she is in it for the long haul. If a Taurus does not see a future, or think you are compatible, she will not waste of second of either of your time. A Tip – They appreciate the full spectrum when it comes to sex. Don’t take them to your depressing barren room with a lone mattress and clothes scattered about the floor if you’re trying to seduce them. Think out of the box! 

3. Gemini

(May 22nd to June 21st)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© pinterest/gemini

They’re incredibly passionate! Although Gemini is not such an emotional sign, she is a woman first, and she will have deep emotions although she might approach them superficially. Because of their widely varying interests and ability to carry many conversations at one time, they cannot help but radiate attractiveness. Curious about almost everything, they are very good listeners and make for great conversation. If you have compatible views on art or politics, expect to be entertained for hours as your Gemini dazzles you with their smart views on shifting topics.

4. Cancer

(June 22nd to July 22nd)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© pinterest/glyph

She is the loving and supportive girlfriend.  If she runs into a partner that doesn’t feel the way she does, she could easily get hurt because of her need to give everything she can to the person she loves, with no regard of her own satisfaction. They love feeling needed and actually crave the sensation. They are extremely dependable. They’re vehemently protective and fiercely loyal, especially when it comes to close friends and family. When relationships go wrong, Cancer women retreat into their shell to lick their wounds, and it can take a long time before they feel confident enough to venture back out into the big, wide world. 

5. Leo

(July 23rd to August 22nd)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© pinterest/leo horoscope

Just one word- Proud. Her love is warm and passionate, she will want to fight, make up, make love and be in someone’s embrace all they long, for as long as her personal liberty isn’t endangered. Most Leo women are not couch potatoes. They like parties, entertainment and outdoor activities. On the negative side, they can be quite egotistical, demanding, intolerant, domineering, lazy and stubborn. They can have very high self esteem and will be dissatisfied with performing any work which they feel is beneath them.

6. Virgo

(August 23rd to September 22nd)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© pinterest

AVirgo girl is shy.  If this happens outside of a relationship, she will probably be so shy that it will become impossible for her to start a relationship at all. Sometimes a Virgo woman can be harsh but it doesn`t mean that she wants to hurt you – she is just straightforward. Don`t take all she says personally. Traditionally, a Virgo woman tends to be most compatible with a Taurus and least compatible with a Pisces man.

7. Libra

(September 23rd to October 22nd)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© BIRTHSTONES BY MONTH

Libra girls tend to be your power-couple kind of girlfriend. When a Libra woman falls in love, she starts questioning her decision to be in love, as if it was possible to control. She has a deep understanding of the ways of the world, and her maturity is both an asset and a liability. Slow, sophisticated and seductive, she makes love both emotionally and physically, with an emphasis on quality over quantity.

8. Scorpio

(October 23rd to November 22nd)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© ZODIAN SIGN ASTROLOGY

The good and kind girlfriend. She will show her love through actions that cannot be misleading and you will never see a Scorpio woman tease you if she doesn’t want to get involved. They are intuitive and have a way of reading people, which can be very annoying, until you realize just how useful it is to have someone so inside your head that her ability to guide you in the right direction is nearly fool-proof. Despite their reputation for being emotional and sensitive, Scorpio women have a special brand of tenacity, insight, drive, and charm that makes them some of the most powerful leaders, influencers, and trendsetters of their time.

9. Sagittarius

(November 23rd to December 21st)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© ZODIAN SIGN ASTROLOGY

They are the funny-as-hell girlfriend. She seeks romance, excitement, and adventure and will not tolerate boredom or neediness in a partner. As a social butterfly, the fun and flirty Sagittarius woman is easy to talk to, and boy does she love to talk! Even though she can sometimes push her opinions on people she doesn’t even know, her intentions are good and her character positive, optimistic and strong. She will make you laugh, bring new meaning into your life and do everything she can to teach you how to be happier.

10. Capricorn

(December 22nd to January 20th)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© ZODIAC SIGN ASTROLOGY

The old-fashioned girlfriend.  Her sense of responsibility can be such a strong priority, that she won’t allow herself to take any risks, always choosing the safe thing to do and the safe partner to be with. The Capricorn woman is career-focused. It’s not just on the job either, she’s passionate about everything she does. By nature, they are born leaders and highly self-motivated. This is why you’ll often find Capricorns in supervisory or management positions (yes, at home and work).

11. Aquarius

(January 20th to February 18th)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© ZODIAC SIGN ASTROLOGY

Highly intellectual.  The unconscious fear of losing her personality to other people often makes her vulnerable to any sort of expectations and tries to turn her into something she is not. Connecting her thoughts to the sex act is vitally important (otherwise her mind quickly wanders off). Keep her brain and body turned on at the same time by telling her exactly what you want to do to her next as you make love.  Passionate and understanding they have a love for exploring and experimenting with the unknown.

12. Pisces

(February 19th to March 20th)

The Kind Of Girlfriend You Have according to zodiac sign© ZODIAC SIGN ASTROLOGY

She’s your old-soul girlfriend. As soon as she feels love, she starts acting like a little child, certain that this partner could be The One. Stress and chaos are the last thing you can expect from a Pisces. They are as calm as a river in spring. Pisces-born individuals are friendly, affectionate, easy going and good natured. Although Pisceans are not leaders, they excel in guiding others as teachers and role models.

It is our Pancham da’s aka R.D. Burman’s 78th birthday today and there’s no better way to celebrate than listening to his best composed songs that take us to an altogether different land. These are the songs that have his unique quirky trademark.

1. Tere Bina Zindagi Se Shiqwa

Film: Aandhi (1975)

With Gulzar’s lyrics, this lover’s ode sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar is the perfect way to communicate with your soulmate.

2. Aaj Kal Paaon

Film: Ghar (1978)

R.D. Burman is known for his minimalistic approaches and this is one song that captured his rare talent the best.

3. Chura Liya Hai Tumne

Film- Yaadon Ki Barat (1973)

All time sexy Zeenat Aman dancing to the beats of this romantic number is still in vogue, and will always be.

4.  Kya Hua Tera Wada

Film- Hum Kisise Se Kam Nahin (1977)

This song is still remembered among friends when one wants to convey the feelings of betrayal.

5.  Baahon mei chale aaon

Film- Anamika (1973)

There obviously weren’t that many songs in the 70’s where you could see a woman seducing a man, hence remains this song a pure classic!

6.  Humein Tumse Pyar Kitna

Film: Kudrat (1981)

This is the ‘It Song’ to play to your girlfriend which would have her swooning over you.

7.  Mera Kuch Samaan

Film: Ijaazat (1988)

This poetic song with Gulzar’s lyrics convey the emotions behind memories and how people who we once loved are never too far away from us.

8.  Pyar Humein Kis Mod Pe

Film: Satte Pe Satta (1982)

This fun song celebrates the spirit of love highlighting ‘what all one has to go through while in lowe’.

9.  Beeti Na Bitai Raina

Film- Parichay (1972)

The song was inspired by the raga Yaman, which stands as a testament to Burman and Gulzar’s mastery over the Hindustani classic music.

10. Mehbooba Mehbooba

Film- Sholay (1975)

Our very own R.D. Burman’s husky voice is heard in this track which makes it a gem!
