Shahrukh Khan must be breathing easy. His ‘Don 2′ didn’t just open well, it also managed to sustain itself well over the weekend and then the dreaded Monday to ensure that it would now be a clean hit at the least. With around 50 crore coming in it’s opening weekend, the film has seen the best start ever for a film released on a non-holiday period. Even otherwise, the film has done quite well and though one does assume that at least 5 crore more could have been gained if not for the ‘Ra. One’ backlash, the collections in hand are still good enough to ensure a healthy status ahead.
The film wasn’t spared of it’s share of hiccups though. There was slight negativity that had started setting in the week leading to the film’s release and by the time Thursday evening press shows concluded, there was the usual round of adverse commentary from mischief makers that started making the rounds. Thankfully this didn’t matter much to those who were indeed waiting to catch the flick as they flocked in dozens by the time Friday came to a close. On the flip side reviews weren’t any helpful as quite a few ranged from average to below average though there were some that had good things to say as well.
Audience feedback though was much better than critical response with many finding Farhan Akhtar’s slick treatment to the plot quite interesting with added advantage of watching a vintage Shahrukh Khan. While response here ranged from good to very good, there was also a (relatively smaller) segment of audience which were left disappointed with what the film had to offer. It is due to this very reason that the film never went full steam ahead and had to settle down as a success which was good, though not earth shattering.
With the first major milestone of scraping through the weekend pretty much surpassed, the next immediate question is whether ‘Don 2′ would break the 100 crore barrier or not. Well, the answer is – ‘Yes’. The way this film has managed to do well on Monday as well, it is quite clear that the film is finding good audience for itself. With coming weekend coinciding with holiday season and no new release round the corner, expect a reasonably healthy addition to the film’s total from Friday to Sunday.
In fact the film should cross the 100 crore mark within two weeks and post that it would be closely observed if it manages to surpass 115 crore total of Shahrukh’s biggest grosser till date, ‘Ra. One’.
Well Well Well… our dear Hrithik urf Duggu (as he is lovingly called) has made B-town serial kisser Emran Hashmi go tight lipped.. We tell you how.. B-town most handsome and the best body dancer Hrithik is in a giving mood nowadays.. and is happily offering tips and lessons on kissing..
It all happened at the press conference of Agneepath where Hrithik made everyone go in splits when he made this announcement.
When a lady journalist asked him about the kissing scene in the film Hrithik told her , ‘Ma’am there was no kiss in the scene but if you still insist, it means you don’t know how to kiss! Aap aise kiss karte ho?
But that was not all.. the handsome Hrithik even asked the lady to come and get kissing tips from him.
He said, “Why don’t you come here and I will demonstrate to you what an actual kiss is!” needless to add the audience where in split and the lady blushed while her colleagues went red in jealously.
Well before this Emran Hashmi was enjoying the status of the best kisser in Bollywood but he was not willing to give tips to any.
Here Hrithik has gone further.. the handsome hunk is ready to give tips to those who want to improve their art of kissing.. We are sure many bholi bhali kanyas of Bollywood will line up for the kissing lessons from none other than B-town’s most handsome Hrithik Roshan whose wax replica in Madam Tussad’s is the most kissed statue of all times. Poor Emran Hashmi will be ‘tight lipped’ as he will be helplessly watching Hrithik giving kissing lessons to those eager women.

In this fiercely competitive world of show biz. You are lucky enough to get a chance. And if you strike gold its awesome. But here the Kingfisher calendar hottie Anjali Lavania has struck the gold twice and made a mark.
The pretty lass has shot for a Titan watch commercial opposite Aamir Khan as well as Levis jeans commercial opposite Imran Khan.
After the B-town power house Kareena Kapoor, Anjali is the only model/actress to have worked with the mamu-bhanja duo.
But Anjali is definitely making her presence felt by doing something like this just at the beginning of her career. “She’s has sheer determination and great competitive spirit to keep her ground strong out here in this industry,” says a close friend.
Anjali is a former Kingfisher Calendar Girl who discovered modeling as her forte at a very early age. She was spotted by the ace photographer Atul Kasbekar.
Anjali has modeled in New York, Los Angeles and Lakme Fashion week. She will soon be making her debut in a Telugu film called ‘Panjaa’ opposite Pawan Kalyan.
The ‘Krrish’ sequel will not only see Hrithik Roshan playing more than one role on screen, but also a special role behind the camera. The actor who had started off his career in Bollywood assisting his father, Rakesh Roshan with films like ‘Koyla’ and ‘Karan Arjun’, will be turning associate director with the next Filmkraft venture.
It is after a gap of 14 years that the superstar is back to assisting his dad once again. Director Rakesh Roshan confirmed the news and added, “Hrithik always helps me out whenever we work together.”
Hrithik Roshan, who will not be a part of the first schedule of his ambitious home production ‘Krrish 3′, has decided not to sit at home. Along with his father Rakesh Roshan, the actor has decided to help with the direction.
On the sets of the film that started rolling on December 1 at Filmistan Studios, Hrithik has been calling the shots and taking creative decisions alongside papa Roshan. He is enjoying the experience though it does get tiring for him at times.
After the first schedule of ‘Krrish 3′ with Vivek Oberoi, Kangna Ranaut and Priyanka Chopra is over, Hrithik will join the cast in front of the camera as well. The actor, who has been suffering from back problems, is fast recovering. Roshans have flown down a physiotherapist and a lady nutritionist from abroad for the same.
