YEH JAWAANI HAI DEEWANI Caught Cheating!
It's been roughly three days since Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani opened to packed houses, and the controversy Gods have already come visiting; the makers now have a battle royale on their hands along with one miffed CM who isn't in a mood to cut them any slack.
For all its claims of maturity, Bollywood, or rather its masala fuelled sub genre, has never been big on logic or plausibility. 100 years down, we can proudly boast that our sets have grown more lifelike, the dance sequences more elaborate and the costumes more glitzy, whereas our sense of logic just about draws level with that of a seven year old's.
And after watching an Audi miraculously zap itself out of the back of a descending plane via parachutes, we think it's about time producers add a disclaimer intoning the audience to politely look away each time a movie ousts the basic laws of rationality and physics. Or the basic laws of geography, as in the case of the recently released Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, which had its Bloopers List inaugurated at the hands of the Hon'ble Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah.
The crackling chemistry between the lead pair and the zingy dance sequences might have been designed to melt the heart of the hardest cynic, but unfortunately even Deepika's never ending legs couldn't distract the audience from the fact that the first half of the film fell prey to one glaring error: Stretching the concept of artistic license to breaking point, the makers have taken the liberty of passing Kashmir off as Manali.
Barring a handful of scenes, majority of the footage from the protagonists' fun-filled trek was shot in Gulmarg, Kashmir and credited as Manali. A fact that didn’t go down well with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who outed the film's secret on his Twitter handle; 'It is irritating when we roll out the red carpet and facilitate the shoot only to have people believe it's Manali #YJHD'
'Those of you planning to visit Manali because of what you saw in #YJHD except for the temple and Span resort it's all Gulmarg,' read another tweet from the disgruntled CM's Twitter profile. Abdullah's wrath seems justified, given that he went the extra mile to ensure that the movie's cast and crew were met with full co-operation from the Gulmarg officials, and even went as far as to host a dinner for the Bollywood stars during their stay there.
At the time of publishing, the production house was yet to respond to the allegations; the incident will most probably be filed under artistic license and swept under the carpet, but if you ask us, a few remedial Geography lessons are in order!

7 year old boy’s affection for Sunny Leone
Indo-Canadian porn star Sunny Leone became the talk of the town after ‘Jism-2′. The sexy babe who starred in an item number “Laila” in ‘Shootout At Wadala’, recently did a photo shoot for a magazine. After the shoot, a 7 years old kid Chandresh Gurubhai Thakkar came and clicked some pictures of Sunny with his DSLR camera, which he got as a birthday gift from his father.
“The little boy wants to become a fashion photographer and get his name recorded in Guinness Book of world records. Sunny was quite excited because this was the first time; a young kid clicked her pictures,” said Himaanshu Shukla who organized the shoot.
Speaking about the encounter with young kid the raunchy actress said, “We had a lot of fun while shooting. I hope Chandresh gives me the photos which he clicked as soon as possible, because I am desperately waiting to see them. I am happy that he is trying to get his name recorded in Guinness Book. Good luck to the youngest photographer in the world. I want to wish him all the luck in the world, may he get exactly what he wants in life.”
In future if Chandresh succeeds in getting his name registered in the Guinness Book, then it will in turn add another feather in Sunny’s cap because she is the first celebrity who got clicked by this young photographer.

The actors are leaving no stone unturned for making their relationship work

Just recently, Katrina planned a special dinner for Ranbir at her home.

Game Changers: Top Actresses
Meet the women who make a difference to the movies. Filmfare gives you a quick checklist
And so she arrived – the girl next door, the item girl, the dedicated wife, the vigilante; she plays them all with utmost perfection. She’s sometimes vanilla with the right dash of spice. Sometimes she’s all spice with a tinge of tart. Her looks could kill but she’s the one who adds soul to Hindi cinema’s machismo. In a testosterone driven movie world, estrogen keeps a check on the balance. It is the heroine who completes a Hindi film. She’s come a long way from being arm candy. Today she can fend off killers and terrorists while she’s preggers. She knows how to take her chances. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the global face of Indian cinema, while back home Katrina Kaif, despite being an outsider, has surpassed all odds to become the most wanted actress in the industry. Top directors vie for Kareena Kapoor Khan. Priyanka Chopra pushes the envelope to cut a pop single. And how can we even forget, Vidya Balan Kapur who has broken stereotypes of the ‘zero size figure,’ has done unconventional roles and has received indefinite critical acclaim for the same. Here’s celebrating the true-blue women who’ve changed the game forever.
