Housefull’ is mad, not mindless
She has done drama and action, but Lara Dutta is partial to comedies. And now she is ready with another laugh riot “Housefull” which she says is mad but not mindless.
“It’s not a mindless comedy. It has a tight screenplay. So if you are not following because of all the confusion, you might lose the plot somewhere. It’s a big entertainer with great music with great comic talent. We hope we entertain,” Lara said in an interview.
Directed by Sajid …
People not critics decide my film s fate Sajid Khan
Funny man-turned-director Sajid Khan doesn’t mind the ‘big mouth’ tag. He is ready with his second film “Housefull” and isn’t really bothered about reviews as he believes people, not critics, decide a movie’s fate.
“The fact is that critics don’t have to tell me whether my film is good or not. It is the job of the audience and they would decide if ‘Housefull’ works for them,” Sajid said.
“Also, one thing I can state on record is that critics may …

Box office analysis-March 15 , 2007
First weekend performance of latest release
Pretty uneventful - this is how one would summarize the weekend gone by for Bollywood. Even as there were 4 films released last Friday, neither trade nor aam junta were excited about any of them. Whether it was noir thriller RED, Oscar nominated social WATER, or action dramas 1971 and SARHAD PAAR - none of the 4 created any buzz or excitement whatsoever. In fact so dull was the opening weekend that even …
"I am in love with Jiah" - Big B
After Anil Kapoor's 'naughty-at-40' act in just released 'Salaam E Ishq', it is Big B's turn to take an extra long step ahead. In his upcoming film 'Nishabd', he plays a man deeply in love with an 18 year old stunner (Jiah Khan).
One doesn't quite remember the last film where Amitabh Bachchan featured as a central protagonist in a love story but in 'Nishabd' he plays a man deeply in love. And to top it all, he is not even short of words and ends …
'Nishabd' back in the reckoning
Ram Gopal Verma's 'Nishabd' was ready months back. In fact the PR machinery of the film had gone amok in plastering news about the film's lead heroine Jiah Khan all over the town. While all this was happening, there were no signs of the film releasing. Meanwhile RGV released his 'Shiva' and then began work for his pet project 'RGV Ke Sholay'.
It seemed that the film was stuck in the cans but around late November, the first look of 'Nishabd' was …
Jiah hunts for Bachchans musk
Jiah Khan has earlier been quoted as saying that Mr. Bachchan smelt really good. Incidentally Jiah had done a short stint in a perfume factory and had a good nose for perfume. She could recognize any famous brand of perfume or cologne just by smelling it once.
According to her, Mr. Bachchan has an amazing collection of cologne. He would sport a new brand everyday during the shooting of 'Nishabd'. She would smell it once and instantly tell Mr. Bachchan …
Nishabd promos off the air?
Why does it keep happening to Ram Gopal Verma movies?
In a year that has not been too kind to Ram Gopal Verma, the promotion and release strategy for his films has left much to be desired. First there was this sandwiching technique that RGV had tried to apply by announcing the release of his 'Shiva' and 'Darwaza Bandh Rakho' a week before and after 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna'.
The promos did come on air announcing the release date but were inconsistent …
