Any link to trailer? Is it a thriller film? I like many films in India that dealt with terrorism. The story is gripping most of the time, and thats what I like.

Here you go:

Both articles have nothing to do with Bollywood, but I'll simply post it here. Both the news must have been pretty big in India.

Congratulations to Dhoni and Amitabh Bachchan.

Bachchan to return as host of India Millionaire show

Bachchan is India's best known actor

Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan is back as the celebrity host of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the Indian version of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire.

Kaun Banega Crorepati was launched in 2000 and became one of the most watched shows on Indian television, typically attracting 15 million viewers.

The actor hosted the first season, but the second season was scrapped midway in 2006 after he fell ill.

KBC returns to its rightful owner, Amitabh Bachchan. Since Sony is producing the show, will the show be telecast of SET channel? If yes, that would be amazing because I have the Sony-Zee package with Dish Network (have been watching Indian Idol 5 with lots of fun).

Dhoni and bald head? Is a West Indies tour coming up? Most cricketers go bald head when they tour WI. Anyway boy, he does look smart in any hairstyle.

On this page I am reading that Star Plus is/was the original channel: Kaun Banega Crorepati - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Next series will be against Sri Lanka and I don't see that India will play West Indies in the near future: http://www.cricinfo.com/india/content/team/6.html?template=fixtures

Check this. It says the broadcaster has changed and that Sony Television will be the new broadcaster:banana2:happy:banana2 I wish Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) gives up that dark glasses while hosting the show. He looks older than what he is when he wears those glasses.

The fourth season will go on air by the end of 2010 and Amitabh Bachchan has been roped in once again to host it.[4] However, the broadcaster will not remain the same. The show has now shifted from Star Plus to Sony

That 'West Indies tour' remark of mine was in a humorous tone (I know we are not touring WI anytime soon). I said it because most of our players go bald headed when a WI tour is coming up or has started. Anyways, that pic is my avatar now.

I am reading it now on Wikipedia link that I earlier provided:

'The fourth season will go on air by the end of 2010 and Amitabh Bachchan has been roped in once again to host it. However, the broadcaster will not remain the same. The show has now shifted from Star Plus to Sony Television.'

I don't why they've changed, but this programme is a sure hit.

I don't have any of these channels. I remember though that I've watched a couple of KBC shows with Shah Rukh Khan. He did a pretty good job.

I also read/heard some time ago that the people behind the programme wanted Anil Kapoor as host. But he refused then, because people might think he would cheat on them (like in the movie Slumdog Millionaire).

 

[SaiSrini]

With Amitabh Bachchan being back, there will be lot of renewed interest in the show. The nostalgia will play its part for sure. When Shahrukh did it, lot of people commented that he spoiled the aura created by Amitabh Bachchan. Now with the original host back, people should naturally get highly excited. Wish to see the "Lock kiya jaye" phrase back. Hope Abhishek and Ash dont flag off the show.

 

[Pranav]

Watched I hate Luv Stories today. Decent movie.

2.8/5

Here are two bigger pictures of Dhoni and his wife for those who like to see it. And I had no idea that Tendulkar went to Wimbledon.

Tendulkar is big Tennis fan and has been regular at Wimbledon if India is not playing. He was seating next to Lara actually.

 

[AkshayS]

Tendulkar goes to Wimbledon every year.
He's looking great with that new hairstyle.


Dhoni is looking cheap.

 

[SaiSrini]

Tendulkar and hair style? He has had almost the same hairstyle for years together. In fact in the above still posted, his hair style is completely unkempt. Whats so special in it?

Anyone following Indian Idol 5 here? Who's your favorite? Mine is Sreeram and Bhoomi (Sreeram will not win because he is too perfect yaar). As with every season, this season too has a bugger 'TiA' who is surviving in the show due to fake votes even though she is a very mediocre singer.

 

[deathrevenge9]

Bhoomi FTW.Sad that Naushad got eliminated.He was my Favourite .

 

[Bounce]

I love Bhoomi. :love

 

[Pranav]

I think Ravinder Ravi from season one should win. :banana2
