Raj & Pablo's Three Weddings & Seven Bollytastic Funerals
It's been Wedding Week on the network and keeping with the theme the former Miss Universe Lara Dutta celebrated her nuptials with tennis ace Mahesh Bhupathi in a low key Victorian-style wedding in Goa.Ìý Lara says she’s never been more in love and has killed all rumours of a rivalry with Don 2 co -star Priyanka Chopra by inviting her!
Keeping in with weddings, the buzz on Tanu Weds Manu, which releases at the end of the month, is strong and the Bolly Bhangra songs are a rage already.Ìý It’s an everyday story of a 'seedha dadha' NRI - Mannu - played by Madhavan who has an arranged marriage with a tempestuous desi diva – Tanu – played by Kangna and the disasters that ensue.Ìý Kangana hopes to finally shed her intense image with this comedic role, but will Salman Khan, who shot for a special appearance, still be in the final cut?Ìý The question that's on everyone's lips?
Before we get to the funerals we loved the theme of every NRI’s dream of a big Bollytastic Yash Chopra filmi wedding in Nikhil Advani’s Patiala House.Ìý The movie’s done well overseas and is all about a family living in Southall, tackling issues of racism and changing traditional family values.Ìý The movie debuted at No 11 in the UK Box Office and the word of mouth in India is good.
We loved your reactions to the movie on the shows last weekend – Akshay is understated, Rishi as the domineering father superb, Dimple fits totally into the chappals of a long suffering Southall mum and Anushkha is sparkling.Ìý Do download our podcast and hear our giggles with Hard Kaur and our chat with a beaming Rishi Kapoor.Ìý Akshay is also pleased with the reactions and despite his back injury has been filming in Chandigarh for Shrish Kunder’s 3D movie Joker with Sonakshi Sinha.
With every wedding there is a funeral waiting to happen say some and like all things in Bollywood we always make it bigger and better as this week sees the release of the eagerly awaited Vishal Bhardwaj’s 7 Khoon Maaf.Ìý It sees the powerhouse that is Priyanka Chopra tackle what she calls one of her most challenging roles.Ìý Based on Ruskin Bond’s short story Susanna’s Seven Husbands, Priyanka Chopra plays Susanna and her character ages from 20 – 65 and buries seven husbands in this black comedy.
We caught up with an excited but exhausted Priyanka Chopra last week – she is on the go 24/7 and had just finished a show with Madhuri Dixit – and reveals all about her role and her forthcoming projects including Krish 2 and Agneepath.
Catch us for a Bollytastic Weekend!!Ìý Love Bollywood on air every Saturday and Sunday from 9am.Ìý
Love Us, Love Bollywood!
Raj&Pablo xx
