There is always something that holds us back. It might not be an issue with everyone, but most of us will agree. And now, here comes PK.
With childlike curiosity, PK searches for answers to questions that no one has asked before. He tries to understand complex philosophies of life and religion through his naive questions.
The answers he unravels will make you scrutinize your own beliefs and reality.

Such is the power of PK. Simple, yet evocative.
Rajkumar Hirani plays with his signature style of filmmaking. Munnabhai made us laugh, Rancho gave us lessons on true education, and PK tells us the true meaning of faith, love and friendship.

It will remind you of other films like Umesh Shukla’s OMG and Rajit Kapur’s Ankhon Dekhi.
But what makes PK shines is its unique storytelling, humor and of course, the flamboyant Aamir Khan.
SubmitAs PK, Aamir Khan gives a stellar performance. His body language, the expressions and the Bhojpuri accent steal the show.

Anushka Sharma as Jaggu also does a wonderful job. It won’t be justified if I don’t mention Saurabh Shukla and Sanjay Dutt.
They are both brilliant, especially Saurabh Shukla as the manipulative Godman. After the interval, the film takes a downward turn.

Melodrama ensues. Despite the good performances by the characters, certain scenes of the film are stale and the climax feels a bit too lengthy for a simple story like PK. It makes you ask, "Is this a waste of time?" But thankfully, PK recovers from it soon.

The music by Atul Gogavale and Shantanu Moitra is fresh, but doesn’t make a lasting impact. Why should you watch the film? PK is a fun film to watch.
Watch it for Aamir Khan’s outlandish yet heart-warming performance. PK will make you smile, laugh and cry. And most of all, he will make you realize how important it is to believe in ourselves and humanity, rather then following any faith blindly.
If the industry grapevine is to be believed, the first look of Roy has not gone down well with Ranbir Kapoor. Sources said the actor, who has a short role in the film, is unhappy that the makers are promoting it as a regular Ranbir Kapoor -starrer .

So much so that he declined to attend the trailer launch though he was very much in town.

Industry insiders suggest that he has decided not to promote the film or speak to the media regarding it.
“Roy is essentially an Arjun Rampal and Jacqueline Fernandez film but the way it is being projected — giving Ranbir unwanted prominence in the posters — is funny.

In fact, it is misleading. Ranbir has not spoken about the film which is a tell-tale sign,” a source says, adding that the film is slated for a February release.

Ranbir is said to have taken up the project as the director Vikramjit Singh is his childhood friend.
The actor, however, chose not to respond on this issue.
Actress Anushka Sharma with Aishwarya Rai in Karan Johar’s directorial  Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, says the former beauty queen’s role is “very different”.
“Yes, I am doing Karan Johar’s next, which also features Ranbir Kapoor and Aishwarya,” said the actress who worked with Ranbir in Bombay Velvet and “had a great bonding” with him.

“And I have grown up watching Karan’s films. Now it’s a great thing that I am working with Ranbir and Karan again. Aishwarya’s role is very different and new in the film and I am glad she is doing the film.”
To be shot across the globe
Delhi, New York, London and Paris, the love story dealing with relationships and heart breaks, will hit the screens June 3, 2016.
Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan met Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday.

Amitabh is the brand ambassador of Gujarat, the state which Modi represented as Chief Minister earlier.
in the meeting Saturday, both Modi and Big B were dressed in  white kurta-pyjamas and wrapped themselves in shawls to beat the winter chill that has engulfed the capital.

Later, upon getting back to Mumbai, Amitabh, 72, tweeted- “Cold Delhi…warm Mumbai…happy home…soon happier  grandchildren coming in from the cold to be with their cousin in the warm.”
Actress Kajal Agarwal, who has acted in many successful Tamil and Telugu movies, is now debuting in the Kannada film industry. So, she is expected to rock the Sandalwood as she did in the Tollywood and Kollywood industry.

Kajal Agarwal

Debutant director Raghu Hassan has approached Kajal for his Kannada movie Thathasthu, which has Chiraag in the lead role. Hassan has now started working on his film.

Hassan said, “We will soon make an official announcement regarding the film”.

The director added, “Initially, we approached Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor for the role. But, we have almost finalized on Kajal Agarwal as she has also talked about her expectations”.

Lead actor Chiraag has also indicated Kajal being the heroine opposite him in the movie. Anaji Nagaraj is producing the movie, which was launched on July 9. Kajal is now busy with her two Tamil films and three Telugu projects.

Kajal has earlier acted in the Tamil films like Bommalattam, Pazhani, Saroja, Modhi Vilayadu, Naan Mahaan Alla and also in many Telugu films such as Lakshmi Kalyanam, Ganesh, Magadheera, Darling and many more.
Priyamani, the versatile actress of Paruthiveeran, experimented with movies in Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. Thanks to her skills, any movie she does is touted to be good.

The buzz has been generated and it says that she might be cast opposite the Bollywood macho man Salman Khan in a sequel to Wanted.

Priyamani

However, she has something else to say. She says that nothing’s been confirmed yet. There have been talks about Wanted 2, but all are still in the pipelines so far. She would definitely want to do a film with Salman Khan.

She also adds that she is not at all against the idea of working with a lesser known star from Bollywood. She would like to essay a role in a Bollywood flick, where she can showcase her acting abilities. Till then she’s cool and okay in the South. Here’s wishing the talented actress, the best of luck.
A couple of days after she ran into trouble during the shoot of her film in Udaipur, actor-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt talks to us about her 'bad' experience:
What exactly happened at the Bad shoot?
SP Hariprasad Sharma disrupted my shoot by screeching abuses, slapping and punching my gaffer, a light boy and camera attendant, illegally detaining my co-producer Vikram Khakhar and then abusing me to my face and threatening to arrest me.
What made the SP react the way he did?
He claims he 'lost his cool' because someone from my unit asked him to wait for five minutes while a shot was being canned. He kept screeching, 'You don't have permission to shoot in the SP's office'. Truth is, we were filming on a stairway that leads to his and others' offices. But this was not the only access point to the SP's office.
Unit hands got hurt, co-producer manhandled. Was Randeep threatened, too?
They threatened to arrest director Prawaal Raman, then rushed towards Randeep and grabbed his hands. I rushed to them and insisted that they let Randeep go.
Why was the shoot disrupted again? Were all permissions in place?
The permissions were in place and on paper. It was nothing more than an archaic, power-drunk mindset at play. The SP's ego was hurt that we were filming there without having to posture in front of him for permission and that the collector had sanctioned all permissions without a hitch. I am told by locals that he attempted to do the same when Sanjay Leela Bhansali was filming in Udaipur a few months ago. He seems to be extremely sexist and thought he could intimidate me more than the average producer because I was a woman.
Is there some kind of an election fever on in Udaipur?
Yes. I urge other filmmakers to reconsider their schedules here unless they have the capacity to stand their ground and take on the system or if they are shooting only within the confines of luxury hotels and privately owned property. There is also a complete disconnect between the people's attitude and the attitude displayed by certain powers that rule. Sections of local media are serving as lapdogs instead of watchdogs and indulge in a constant stream of biased reportage.
Who do you think has motivated the disruptions?
A desperate need in the people who agitated to get their names and faces in the papers and a clamour for power. I have been made a pawn in this tussle between warring officials and political parties. Tragic, given the fact that I not only promote tourism by setting my film in Udaipur, but also fuel the economy and generate jobs for a fairly large number in local talent. One can't look away from the fact that the film industry is considered to be a soft target by politically motivated groups for long.
Veteran actress Manjula Vijayakumar, who had worked in more than 100 films in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada, died in Chennai today due to a stomach injury. She was 59.
Manjula is survived by husband, actor Vijayakumar and three daughters who had also acted in Tamil films as heroines.
Manjula made her debut as a supporting actress in a 1969 film Shanthi Nilayam. She was seen in her first lead role in Rickshawkaran (1971).
In the late '80s, Manjula was seen in supporting roles. She has worked with the likes of NTR, Sivaji Ganesan, Gemini Ganesan, Kamal Hassan and Rajinikanth.
As the news of her demise spread, southern actors took to Twitter to mourn the loss of the late actress.
Actor Salman Khan was on Wednesday charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the 2002 hit-and-run case for which he can face a jail term upto 10 years.
Speaking about the case, well-known lawyer Majeed Memon, says, "Although this widely discussed case has been delayed for a fairly long time, the incident is 11 years old and therefore, in a criminal trial it becomes difficult to secure the evidence of relevant witnesses at such a belated stage. Some witnesses die, others change their residences over the years and become unavailable to the prosecution, thereby making it difficult to establish the case. In the instant case of Salman Khan, what needs to be found out is, as to who is responsible for this delay."
He went on to add, "The accused, Salman Khan, himself cannot exclusively be held responsible for this long delay. In criminal matters, the delay can be attributed to various factors including the procedural pendency of revisions and appeals even before the trial. In any case, such inordinate delay should be avoided in the best interest of truth and justice."
"Now that the charges in the case have been framed, it is an important milestone and it is expected that now the trial court will not delay in conducting and concluding this trial. Needless to say that non-availability of witnesses causes advantage to the accused in all trials, for which the accused cannot be faulted. The prosecution as required by law has to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt and if any doubt is left out, the benefit is necessarily extended to the accused," said Memon.

 Actress Sonam Kapoor likes to keep it as natural as possible when she is on front of the camera, and says she can't use glycerine to cry for a movie scene.

"I go so deep into the character that I make myself unwell. It becomes disturbing at times. I have taken training for acting for a year. I can never cry with the help of glycerine. Whenever I cry on screen I cry naturally, if I am happy, I am genuinely happy on screen," Sonam told IANS.
