I don't think I'll look older than Shahid: Vidya

One cannot even imagine seeing Shahrukh khan sitting idle. Believe it or not, King Khan is jobless recent times. After the grand success of his movie Chak De India where he played the Hockey Coach of Indian Women's Hockey team, the actor is waiting for the release of Om Shakti Om which is set to release this year.

Though he is working on some other movies too but he is not very sure about their release dates. It happens sometimes Shahrukh..

Good Luck !!

Chak De India enters Curriculum of business schools

Chak De India team gets another reason to smile. The word Chak De India not only drove them to win the world Cup in the film but now, has created its magic on MBA students as well. Chak De India will make its entry in textbooks of Business schools as a case study. The subject dealt in Chak De India and Curriculum of business schools might be poles apart. However, Chak De India boasts about a magnificent inspiration taken by management schools from various places in India, says YRF spokesperson, Monika Bhattacharya, “We have been getting mails from institutes in Chandigarh and Bhopal saying that they are including the film into their curriculum.” Chak De team, especially SRK and the director Shimit Amin have felt extremely proud to make such an inspirational film, says Monika,” It’s feels great as it is a matter of honour. We didn’t probably expect that the film would have such kind of effect on the youth and inspire people in such a way. I think it’s very heartening.” Before Chak De India, Lagaan and Corporate were included in management syllabus.

Chandigarh captain, she looks like Princess Leia and plays like the terminator, the only one she's close to is her iPod. Would you then blame the rest of her mostly rural team-mates for calling her mem? She has a secret, but then, that's a secret.

Morry Zimik & Mary Ralte: They are clubbed as one because that's how they eat, live and behave. Their school books taught them that they are Indians but Indians taught them otherwise.The only reason they play for the national team is that it is the only national team they can play for. They'd love to belong, but not to the team that calls them 'foreign',and definitely not to the people that call them 'loose'. So they stick together and play.For the love of the game, and the honour of their people.

After months of checking out drool-worthy babes, we finally had to stop enjoying it and come up with a winner. So here she is... Donna from New Delhi, India!

Can you believe this is happening to you? We can’t believe it’s
happening... us talking to you, that is!
I can’t believe it myself but hey, maybe I did deserve it. I am hot!
Sure you are. Was the photoshoot fun?
Yeah, it was a ball. There were the usual problems like powercuts and the Delhi summer but that’s part of the game. And then we were doing this at a construction site. So it was funny scandalising the workers around the place. I guess they couldn’t believe their luck.
Neither can we. Must have been the perks of their job!
(Laughs) I guess I did make them happy. Well, even they deserve some form of entertainment at work.
We agree. Now tell us what you will be doing at the Dominican Republic?
Nothing much really. I’ll just be my sexy self. And have a whale of a time.
So does this mean you will forget us? Will you never talk to us again?
Aww... no, I still love ya all. I am not the type of chick who forgets people or names.
Hmm... let’s test you. Do you remember your first boyfriend?
Of course, I do. He was a sweetheart. But somehow things didn’t quite work out between us.
Any naughty things you remember?
Sure, lots of them. But I am not gonna tell you anything now.
Damn, and we thought you would fall for it?
Well, this one time, we were driving around in his car...
And?
And I can’t tell you more. You gotta leave something to the imagination.
Oh alright, let’s talk about something boring like the weather!
Delhi summer sucks. I like winters. You can go out and party longer, go on long drives with the windows rolled down.
Yeah, but look at the brighter side. You get to wear bikinis in summer.
Hmm... that’s right!
Now that you agree with us, tell us all your naughty secrets!
Sure, just wait till I get back from the Dominican Republic!

Chak de India - Movie Review

Singers: K.K., Sukhwinder Singh, Anushka Manchandani, Hema Sardesai, Marianne D'cruz, Salim Merchant, Shah Rukh Khan and Krishna Medieval Punditz
Music Director: Salim-Suleiman
Rating: **

"Chak De India", a much-awaited Yash Raj Film starring Shah Rukh Khan, is set to hit the screens but the music isn't really making waves. Composer duo Salim-Suleiman have not done anything extraordinary or exciting.

A pretty good track to start the album with is "Bad bad girls" and singer Anushka Manchandani has done a neat job. Revolving around hockey, "Bad bad girls", penned by Jaideep Sahni, can't be called a fantastic track, but it's a good attempt at keeping the zest of the hockey team intact.

Hema Sardesi lends her voice to "Badal pe paon hai". It can't be termed feminist, but the track is inspirational and is high on rhythm.

Sukhwinder sings the title song "Chak de India". He delivers well but the song would sound much better while watching the movie. The lyrics are fine but the song lacks punch.

"Ek hockey doongi rakh ke", a number that introduces the team members, could have been composed better. Shah Rukh takes over the job of introducing each player, while they too voice a few lines. And in the end, K.K. comes and croons the "Chak de" line.

A depressingly slow track comes in the form of "Maula mere le le meri jaan". Probably a number that comes at a very crucial point in the film, it sees the pairing of Salim Merchant and Krishna for the vocals. With minor qawalli elements in it, the song puts one off completely as there's absolutely nothing that attracts you.

The last track, "Sattar minute", is hardly a number in the sense of a musical piece. It sees King Khan motivating his team members and almost rendering encouraging mini speeches. But it still seems better in comparison to the entire lot.

Salim-Suleiman have failed to put the theme across in a catchier and appealing way. Putting better quality of music would surely have done wonders to the album.
