This might be this year's Ghajini! Action-packed and full masala. Watch out for Sallubhai.

TU KITNE BARAS KI?

Arpita Khan turned a year older and had her birthday bash at a Bandra five-star on Monday night.

Hum Do!

A bitchy actress has her eyes trained on Priyanka Kothari and her mentor Ramgopal Verma.

She says, "I think Ramu and Priyanka have plotted their mutual retirement by deciding to dish out so much crap together that people launch a drive to usher them out.


She does exactly what she's been doing in all his recent movies...the same hot (?) pants, unwashed bra tops and uncombed hair. I wonder why the film isn't called Ugh-yaat."

LOVIN' IT

We love these new directors. They are so confident and secure of their own talent that they don't hesitate to send praise towards their contemporaries.


Dostana director Tarun Mansukhani is making his appreciation for Love Aaj Kal be known in cyber space.

His most status message on Facebook: "Saw Love Aaj Kal... again... and enjoyed it much more... Saif and Deepika are great... But kudos to the main hero.. Imtiaz... Way to go!!" There's a lesson somewhere here for actors, no?

PLAY TIME

Imtiaz Ali took a break from checking out the collections of Love Aaj Kal and was spotted at the preview of Nirav Parekh and Hidyat Sami's Hindi play What Women Want at a Andheri multiplex on Monday.


Imtiaz arrived in a Love Aaj Kal T-shirt. Promotions are still on, it seems.

Arjun Speak

Coverboy Arjun Rampal in an interview to GQ in the latest edition makes some candid confessions....

On his career: I want to be known for my actingu2026 I don't want to be known for my looks.


On his roots: My grandmother was Dutch, and we grew up in this multicultural kind of environment where we celebrated Christmas, Diwali, Eid, where I sat in people's homes and ate out of one big plate. I must be one of the few people who have gone into the Agyari pretending to be Parsi.

On his wife: I never tell Mehr what films I'm doing because she's very honest with her opinion, and when she gives it, I know exactly how good or bad the film is she's very straightforward, which is fun, but also sometimes embarrassing.

WHAT TO WATCH

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is excited about a few movies, which are coming out this year. The director says, "I want people to look out for four films and for these films only.
