Nalini Jaywant Passes Away



While surfing the net today I found out that 40's and 50's actress Nalini Jaywant passed away, at the age of 84. But that suprising fact was that she died on December 24 2010, thats 8 DAYS AGO! No where in the mainstream media was it mentioned that she passed away, it just goes to show how fickle and cold this industry is. As soon as your out of the limelight your done and the industry has no time for you. No matter how hit movies you have given. Another sad aspect of this whole episode is that, it is said that she had died 3 days earlier but no one knew. Also, when her body was taken, it was taken couvered in her own bedsheet. I wonder what happened or will happen funreal wise.

Yamla Pagla Deewana soundtrack RIP OFF


Ok so I have been loving the new promos for the movie YPD and I'm super excited to see Dharmendra on screen after Apne. Also like everyone else on the planet I love the title track that is in the promos, the original Yamla Pagla Deewana song with Mohd. Rafi's voice. But i just listened to the full soundtrack on bollywood hungama and the Mohd. Rafi version of the song is not on the album! The version that they have on album is in Sonu Nigam's voice and it absolutely sucks! Sonu Nigam's voice is way to soft for this energetic song and could not pull it off! I'm super disappointed and confused as to why the Mohd. Rafi version is nowhere to be found. When in all of the promos that's what you hear! There was even an article out a few days ago in which the makers of the film said that they canned the idea of remixing the song because it didn't sound as good as the orignal. So why the hell did they decide to change their decision at the last minute? I'm supper pissed right now for this false advertisement!

P.S. the song Charha De Rang by Rahul Seth (the 4:22 one) is really good, i could of done without all of the other singers in the song. I wish they had just kept it soft and mellow with only his voice. Why was there the need to have this song in 4 versions?

Punjabi movie more popular then Hindi movie!




At Cineplex cinemas, in Surrey B.C., there are 8 shows for the Jimmy Shergill started 'Mel Karade Rabba' whereas Akshay Kumar's 'Khatta Meetha' only has 3 shows! And people say that Punjabi movies are unprofitable!

If Akshay Kuamr does a full fledged Punjabi movie he could probably have the biggest opening/hit of his career!

Premnath's Kiss!

Found another gem on Ebay today! Seller, onestcdotnet has listed a picture of Premnath and Kamini Kaushal kissing. It was taken on the sets of 'Raja Kaka' whici was released in 1974. I searched this movie in Google and an article came up that said that the kissing scene was between Nadira and Premnath, whereas the seller says it was between Premnath and Kamini Kashaul. There is writing on the back of the picture which is a little hard to read, it says Kamini's name on it but I'm not sure if it's her in the picture. I haven't seen this movie, has anybody else?
