Ashutosh Kaushik wins Bigg Boss


Ashutosh Kaushik, the 'dhaba' owner from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh, was named winner of Bigg Boss Season two on Saturday at a star-studded finale. He takes home prize money of Rs 1 crore.

The big surprise at the finale was Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar [Images], who entered the house moments before the winner was announced. He was also asked by the host, Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty [Images], to name the winner to an audience that comprised most of the original housemates and relatives of the finalists.

Ashutosh beat back a strong challenge from Bhojpuri filmmaker Raja Choudhary and model Zulfi Sayeed. Zulfi was the first to be eliminated and Raja was the runner-up.

Ashutosh credited his victory to "Rahul Bhaiyya (Rahul Mahajan [Images]) and the voting public." Asked what he would do with the prize money, he said, "I don't know yet. The win yet has to sink in. I will decide after a few days. But I will buy a house in Mumbai, Saar ke upar chaat chaiye."

After a controversial final week, which began with the four finalists (Rahul, the fourth finalist later took a voluntary exit) in a bizarre breakout bid to get dinner. The quartet were accosted by security guards and returned to the house in minutes.

While the other three finalists Ashutosh, Zulfi and Raja were apologetic about the breakout, Rahul refused to say sorry and opted for a voluntary exit.

Rahul's exit from the house was marked by emotional scenes in which the other three finalists were moved to tears.

To inject some life into proceedings, Ravi Kissen, the Bhojpuri superstar and last year's Bigg Boss contestant, entered the house for a day.

Rahul Mahajan won the Bada Dilwala award, an Aveo Yuva [Images] car. Ravi Kissen and Bollywood item girl Rakhi Sawant [Images], another Bigg Boss season one participant, performed at the finale.

Meanwhile, a security guard was injured as a group tried to gatecrash the venue. Trouble started apparently when the group was not allowed entry into the sets, leading to a clash with the security personnel.

A spokesperson of the Colors channel, which is airing the show, declined to give details of the incident.

Riya Sen to be in Hong Kong for Christmas

The sultry bong beauty, Riya Sen, has always been in news more for her controversies and bold comments than her work in films. This year the gal will not be celebrating the Christmas with her family due to her prior commitment to perform in a show in Hong Kong during Christmas. So, instead of celebrating it with family, Riya decided this time that she will be staying a couple of days in Hong Kong with her friends and having a blast.

However, she is a little bit sad about not being with her family and especially with her sister Raima during the festival time, but has decided to make it up with the New Year celebrations.

So Riya made some sacrifices to turn down some good offers to do shows in London, Dubai, Australia, Delhi and some other places and instead opted for a performance in Pune as her friends and family will be there during the time to welcome the new year.

Will Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi RNBDJ Break All Records ? RNBDJ Movie and Music Preview

Friday, October 31, 2008


I personally think that the makers of the trendsetting DILWALE DULAHNIYA LE JAAENGE and the radical MOHABBATEIN failed to woo the audience in DRONA and KIDNAP.

It is but obvious that we are referring to the first look of the Aditya Chopra directed, Shah Rukh Khan starrer RAB NE BANA DI JODI that is shining the walls of many theatres and multiplexes. Not content with that, Yash Raj Films have also taken full page ads in Sunday’s National dailies, both in English and the Vernacular.

After Duplicate and Om Shanti Om it's now Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi which will see Shah Rukh in a double role. According to sources, SRK will be seen in not one but two different avatars in Aditya Chopra's much-awaited film. The film sees Aditya Chopra making a come back after eight long years.


The poster shows a mustached, bespectacled middle class get up for Shah Rukh (Amol Palekar CHITCHOR looks?) with Anushka in a typical Punjabi salwar–suit peeping from behind Shah Rukh’s shoulders. The poster carries a very interesting and arresting tagline, both in Hindi and English.

The Hindi tagline goes like ”Har saadhaaran jodi mein ek asaadhaaran prem kahani chhupi hoti hai” And the English tagline is ”There is an extraordinary love story in every ordinary jodi”

Well, after seeing the buzz that the first poster is creating, one does not have to be a Nostradamus to predict the big opening when the film hits the screens worldwide on December 12.

If people were to throng the theatres with full aspirations, I would say that they are right, atleast for this one. Shot in premier and typical Yash Raj type locations... it sure is the time SRK gets his King Image back which rules the Bollywood empire back in DDLJ and KKHH time.

RNBDJ Release Date : December 12 2008





User Opinion

Its very close between the two megastars but Akshay has the advantage now. If RNBDJ scores as expected then Shahrukh would remain at the top but to sustain this he will have to increase his workload which has come down to one film a year from 2-3 films a few years back.

Basically if Akshay’s popularity remains and he continues to work as much as he is doing now and selects films as well as he is doing now then its only a matter time before he is at the top. Akshay is going to have 3-4 releases a year for the next few years while SRK looks like having one this year, one next year and two in 2010. Salman Khan is another guy who has a huge universal following and can put a spanner in the works as he can score 3-4 big hits in the next 8-10 months.

Its hard to say who exactly will reign but the best bet would be Akshay because SRK’s one big hit a year will not be enough as things stand today, two or three big hits is a different story but that can’t happen. Shahrukh also faced a huge challenge from Hrithik in 2006 but here Hrithik cut down on his workload and the challenge did not materialize but this will not happen with Akshay who will continue to have many releases.

What is Special About RNBDJ RAb Ne Banaa Di Jodi ?

Aditya Chopra on behalf of YRF films has assured multiplexes that they will not charge more than 50%, 40% 30% in the first three weeks for all films made by the banner this year.

Aditya Chopra however made an exception in the case of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi which he is directing himself. He clearly stated that the terms for that film would have to be higher than the other films. He also said that if any of the other Yash Raj films did exceptional business, the multiplex chains would have to up the sharing ratio after the first week.

In defence of his demand, he said its a give and take relationship and Yash Raj film had voluntarily refunded money to multiplex chains last year when Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and Laaga Chunari Mein Daag bombed at the box office.


RNBDJ Gossip | Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi News and Buzz Talk

Is RAB NE BANA DI JODI | RNBDJ a Story about a dancer?

Top choreographer Shiamak Davar has a long association with Yash Chopra and his banner, Yash Raj Films. One can remember his superb choreography in ‘Le gayee le gayee’ (DIL TO PAGAL HAI), way back in 1997. Some of his subsequent projects with Yash Raj include BUNTY AUR BABLI (2005) and DHOOM 2 (2006).

Shiamak is presently involved in one of the most prestigious projects of recent times, Aditya Chopra’s Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Vinay Pathak starrer, RAB NE BANA DI JODI (RNBDJ). However, he has just not restricted himself to Bollywood and is also busy with other non Bollywood projects, including a hot dance routine for the upcoming 2010 Winter Olympics. He is also a frequent globe-trotter and during one such foreign trips (Vancouver, to be precise), he was asked about the storyline of RNBDJ. The guarded choreographer said that the film is about a dancer and apologized saying that he was sworn to secrecy and so would not be able to disclose anything further.

Well, it seems like we will have to wait for December 12 to decipher what exactly Shiamak means; though another section of the media terms RAB NE BANA DI JODI as a romantic comedy.

Aamir Khan's Ghajini Vs Shah Rukh Khan's RNBDJ Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Aamir Khan’s Ghajini to clash with SRK’s Rab Ne Banaa Di Jodi

Aamir Khan’s long-in-the-making Ghajini has now been further pushed back by two months. The film was initially supposed to hit cinemas by October 3 but will now release on December 12, the same date as Aditya Chopra’s much talked about Rab Ne Banaa Di Jodi, which stars Shah Rukh Khan.

An industry insider reveals, “Aamir Khan’s film has been in the making for over two years now. But it’s far from being complete. Aamir has only recently shaved his head off for the film but he couldn’t complete the schedule as he pulled his hamstring during shooting and was advised complete bed rest for five weeks, which added to the delay. Initially, the film was to be make it to theatres by October and clash with Salman Khan’s Wanted Dead Or Alive. But now because of the delay, the film has finally been pushed to December 12 where Aamir will clash with another Khan: Shah Rukh Khan in Aditya Chopra’s Rab Ne Banaa Di Jodi.”

Adding fuel to feud

The source further adds, “Aamir was very keen on releasing Ghajini in December. Last year, Taare Zameen Par was released around the same time. The actor is superstitious about the timing.”

Industry insiders feel that Aamir is just adding more fuel to his supposed feud with Shah Rukh Khan, “Didn’t he just make a dig at Shah Rukh recently on his blog? And now, he’s getting his release date pushed to clash with Shah Rukh. Whatever happens it is going to generate a lot of curiosity for both the projects.”

Ghajini director, A R Murugadoss remained unavailable for a comment.

News has it that the film runs on two parallels, one that deals with Darsheel and his faith in God, while the second is about the relationship between Kaveri and Atul. Priyadarshan is so excited about this project that he has kept his comedy ‘De Dana Dan’ on hold for the time being till this one gets completed.
