Like its revolutionary theme and subject, the film brings in new flair of experimentation in music with actor-cum-writer Piyush Mishra making his first major dent as composer in the tinsel town. http://www.humsurfer.com/movie-preview-karma-aur-holi "Karma, Confessions & Holi" is a film about Indian families, their relationships with fellow Americans, their own internal and inter-personal conflicts. http://www.humsurfer.com/advertisements-and-the-new-defining-contours When it was experimented in a big way for the first time it had come cropper. The advertisement industry had pulled the bunny out of the bag and had in a coup of sorts brought Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan together for endorsing Maruti's new car Versa, neither did the car make an impact nor did the ad. In fact the advertisement when it was http://www.humsurfer.com/shahid-kapoor-sheds-off-his-shirt The girls just went ooooohhhh! while watching Shahid running bare bodied with horses in the trailers of upcoming film KAMINEY. http://www.humsurfer.com/rakeysh-mehras-next-outing-to-be-romantic His latest release DELHI 6 may have come in for a mixed response from the critics as well as audience, and its fate at the ticket window still awaited, but the intellectual director has moved on. Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, affectionately called ROM, is more or less certain that his next film would be based on romance! http://www.humsurfer.com/piyush-jha-sikandar-is-an-antiwar-film Even though SIKANDAR deals with violence, writer-director Piyush Jha insists that the central theme of the film is that of peace. He claims that the film does not have a jingoistic or partisan point of view, and does not take sides, except the side of humanity. http://www.humsurfer.com/malaika-shakes-a-leg-with-srks-angels After RAB NE fame Anushka Sharma now Bollywood bombshell Malaika Arora Khan would be seen as the celebrity judge this week in Red Chillies Idiot Box's Knights and Angels, the reality show hunting for cheerleaders for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). http://www.humsurfer.com/maahi-gill-a-beauty-parlor-owner-mistress-or-a-courtesan Less than a month back, a new face arrived in Bollywood and made her presence felt. She was Maahi Gill, a known name in Punjabi films, who debuted as a female lead in DEV D opposite Abhay Deol. As Paro, she was a complete antithesis of what one had seen of the namesake character in earlier versions of DEVDAS. However, the young woman went on to http://www.humsurfer.com/list-of-flops-pile-up-in-bollywood-0 It's not just the biggies that are failing at a regular rate this year. If CHANDNI CHOWK TO CHINA, BILLU and DELHI 6 have turned out to be huge disappointments then even smaller films haven't been able to capitalize much on the open market. Something which has been reflected with the release of KISSE PYAAR KAROON and SIDDHARTH - THE PRISONER. http://www.humsurfer.com/lets-dance-readying-for-may-2009-release Film LETS DANCE, produced by Dr. Arvind Patel, is readying for May 2009 release.

I got into films because of having worked in serials. http://www.humsurfer.com/luck-by-chance-one-more-attempt-to-understand-the-business-of-cinema While Hollywood does not think to interpret the business of cinema in Hollywood through films on a regular basis, off late it has become a regular feature in the case of Indian cinema, and LUCK BY CHANCE is another attempt in this direction.
