Raj & Pablo's March Madness
We’ve all been having Bollytastic withdrawal symptoms as there have been no new releases due to the glorious cricket!Ìý However as always we’ve been flying the Bollywood flag high on the show.
The divine diva Asha Bhosle has been in town for a series of concerts to promote her latest ghazal based album Naina Lagaike with classical maestro Shujaat Khan. Have to say the lady is tireless – she arrived in London after a series of concerts and has just signed her first movie Maee – in which she plays a mother to Padmin Kholapure – it's going to be an emotional tearjerker!ÌýÌýAs always Asha Tai sent us her blessings and was moved at the wonderful welcome she received.Ìý More on Asha Ji’s amazing culinary skills very soon! Don’t forget to tune in on Tuesday when Gagan Grewal has a wee chat with our legend!
Talking of Asha Tai one of her immortal tunes from Dev Anand’s Hare Rama Hare Krishna – Dum Maro Dum has been re invented forÌýRohan Sippy’s Dum Maro Dum which stars Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu and Prateik Babbar. The promo of the song featuring sizzling Deepika Padukone has been released already and caused quite a stir.
We love Akshay Kumar – he’s one of the most understated of stars. He’s in the UK shooting for Desi Boys and called us over for a catch up.ÌýÌý We hooked up with the Khiladi while he was dubbing in London for the forthcoming Thank You. It's an Anees Bazmee production with stars Akshay, Sunil Shetty, Irfan Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Celina Jaitley and Rimmi Sen. All we can reveal at this stage is that it’s a movie with a message and Men Beware!
The 13th London Film Festival opened with Onir’s I Am.Ìý It’s a brilliant movie with four separate but interlinked stories.Ìý Producer and one of the stars of the film Sanjay Suri joined us on the show on Saturday.Ìý He’s a visionary producer and raised the finance for the movie through social networking sites. We are both looking forward to catching up with Juhi Chalwa and Manisha Koriala next weekend - they play estranged Kashmiri friends in the movie – one aÌýmuslim and the other a hindu pandit.
And if you are missing films do check out Tanu Weds Manu - it’s become one of the surprise hits the year.Ìý Mahdavan and Kangana and Jimmy Shergil are simply superb. But fear not April sees a plethora of releases starting with Faltu with Jackky Bhagnani and Ritesh Desmukh and Game with Abhishek Bachchan, Kangana, andÌý Jimmy Shergil.
Do get in touch with us and be part of the show – either to review a movie, some music or anything to do with Bollywood - remember it’s your show!
Love Us, Love Bollywood
Raj&Pablo xx
