       TENNIS-CRICKET MARRIAGE
 Indian tennis star Sania Mirza married Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik in Hyderabad on Monday in a ceremony that was open to just family and close friends. The newlyweds had a special guest too - Sahara boss Subroto Roy. The mehendi ceremony will be held on Tuesday, followed by the sangeet and a reception on April 15.
The marriage took place after a few hiccups and a quick divorce for Shoaib from his first wife Ayesha Siddiqui.

The 23-year-old Indian ace and 28-year-old Shoaib were scheduled to wed on April 15, but the family advanced the date.
The Indian tennis ace was dressed in a red sari, the one her mother Nasima wore for her nikaah25 years ago.
Shoaib, a former Pakistan captain, wore a blacksherwani, designed by Shantanu and Nikhil, for the nikaah ceremony, held at hotel Taj Krishna.
The mehandi ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, the sangeet will take place on April 14 and reception on April 15.

Shoaib agreed to Rs 61 lakh as meher amount to Sania at the time of the nikaah.In the Muslim community, the wife is given a set financial sum at the time of the marriage, which is written down as a term of the nikaah or marriage contract.
But all is well that ends well...At last after all the controversies,fatwaas,FIR etc,SANIA AND SHOAIB got married and i hope that they live a happy life.

                 MY VIEWS ON-PRINCE

        CAST

Vivek Oberoi - Prince
Aruna Shields - Maya
Nandana Sen - Maya
Niroo Singh - Maya
Isaiah - Sarang
Director: Kookie V Gulati
Producer: Kumar Taurani
Written by: Shiraz Ahmed

Vivek Oberoi starrer Prince has proved to be a shot in the arm for the actor as the film has got above average response at the box office. The film has also elbowed out Ritesh Deshmukh-starrer Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai that fell flat courtesy its weak content.



In spite of frenetic editing and tiresome action sequences, the narrative lacks the energy that one expects from a thriller. The music of the film is insipid; more suited to the skin fest music videos that one was subjected to on television a few years ago. Director Kookie Gulati sets up some spectacular Hollywood style sequences but doesn’t do much with his actors.

The cast awkwardly stumbles its way around Sukant Panigarhy’s impressive sets.
Oberoi seems influenced by Tom Cruise in 'Mission Impossible' & 'Minority Report' and the script seems influenced by Oberoi's dire need of a hit film. Everything possible that can be done to project Oberoi as a super hero is done, including the Bondesque ploy of accessorizing him with three pretty newbie’s, super gadgets, hot wheels and loaded guns. The film even has an evil villain that sports re-bonded hair and a mechanical hand.
It is a one time watch film,if you want to see some good hollywood style action.
RATING-**1/2(2.5 stars)

My take on karthik calling Karthik

ProducerRitesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar
 DirectorVijay Lalwani
 MusicShankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani, Loy Mendonsa
 WriterVijay Lalwani
 LyricsJaved Akhtar


Acting wise, Farhan Akhtar once again proved himself. He is excellent. Deepika looks gorgeous and acts very well. Ram Kapoor is fantastic. Shifaali Shah is excellent. A good script and stroy as well.
Overall its a very nice movie with a different concept. This is really a creative and intelligent film. 
On the whole, Karthik Calling Karthink is a complete product. This is an intelligent film. Excellent work by Debutant director Vijay Lalwani.

My rating-3.5/5
It was a good entertainer and could be watched once.

MNIK protest: Over 1200 Shiv Sainiks arrested


What is the matter all about?
Actually,SRK after the IPL auction,spoke in favour of the pakistani players,as none of the IPL playes have been included in the 3rd season of IPL.
That's it!!Shiv Sena needs a thing to make themselves popular.So they picked this topic!What the heck is this!
After this incident Shiv Snahas been continuously protesting against SRK and his film MY NAME IS KHAN!
In last 24 hours more than 1200 Shin seniks hace been arrested by the Mumbai police.
Due to this violence Theatre owners of Mumbai have refused to show MNIK in their theatres.Which is quiet a big thing for SRK and whole MNIK's Crew.
Theatres under a dilemma....



I DONT BELONG TO ANY PARTY OR SOMETHING.I AM NEUTRAL,AND I AM TOTALLY IN SUPPORT OF SHAHRUKH.!!!!
