Bollywood's Hot new pair! http://xavierpop.posterous.com/katrina-imran-bollywoods-hot-new-pair http://xavierpop.posterous.com/katrina-imran-bollywoods-hot-new-pair

It was only a matter of time before Bollywood lovers saw the pairing of Katrina Kaif and Imran Khan.

Both actors have enjoyed a successful run in the land of Bollywood so far and their coming together in a Yash Raj Films outing seems fitting. I must say, I never thought of them working together, it just never crossed my mind. However, now that I see them together, they look good and they have great chemistry from what can be seen from the trailers and movies reviewers have been raving about their on screen chemistry.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan translates into English as "My Brother's Wife"! Scandalous, I know! After having watched Bollywood films for, well, my entire life and being familiar with the films that are churned out of Yash Raj Films...I don't think this film is going to be much of a scandalous affair - it's Bollywood after all. The posters are colorful and the trailer seems pleasing.

Let's hope this turns out to be a hit instead of a poorly scripted Bollywood affair as we are unfortunately used to seeing from the leading production house these past few years.

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 11:26:55 -0700 Bollywood's Bodyguard creates Box-Office history! http://xavierpop.posterous.com/bollywoods-bodyguard-creates-box-office-histo http://xavierpop.posterous.com/bollywoods-bodyguard-creates-box-office-histo

All of Bollywood is buzzing with the latest Salman Khan starrer, Bodyguard with its much anticipated release this past weekend. The film has created box-office history by grossing nearly 88.75 crores in its 5 day opening weekend.

It may echo the name of the Whitney Houston starrer The Bodyguard in Hollywood territory, but let me tell you, Salman Khan's film is much, much different. To eliminate any confusion, Bodyguard is in no way a remake or version of The Bodyguard. They are two totally different films, that happen to have a similar name.

Lately, Salman Khan's film have been these fantastical, over the top, action packed thrillers that harp back to the retro-Bollywood days. While its great to see Salman Khan on screen, as he is one of Bollywood's leading actors, his films require a lot of patience - especially during the moments where the buttons on his shirt magically pop off and his shirt mysteriously tears away from his body revealing his six-pack abs - similar to what we would see in an animated version of Hulk (Dabanng, anyone?).

In Bodyguard, we see his shirt zapped off too. Also note: the jumping biceps in the song trailer below. Classic Salman.

Regardless of these Bollywood antics, Bodyguard is entertaining, it has great music, co-stars Kareena Kapoor and has an appearance by Katrina Kaif. So, no complaints!
