Scary Pl-otter is Back !

July 16 2009.

Meri Jaan, while the weather continues to bloom and U-all Jhoom, lets not forget that Multiplex Owners in Bollywood are having a V-Rrroom success with the recent releases New York and Kambhakht Ishq hitting the box office Jackpot.

With the success of KI, Akki baby has proved that one floating 8X10 Tasveer from Chandni Chowk to China is not going to stop him. He is going to blow his critics Blue by giving them De Dana Dhan hits and that too in Action Replay!

(Oho!! those are the names of his upcoming movies).

Talking about replay, but musical and not action, there is another Mangeshkar Clan making her entry in Apna Desi Sangeet.

She is the daughter of Pandit Hridayanath Mangeshkar and she is following the footsteps of her aunts Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle.

Her debut album “Naav Mazaa Shami” was recently released and this new singer's name is Radha Mangeshkar.

She belongs to the Mangeshkar parivaar and we can only hope that this one has THE vocal talent and not only a tag, a name, a gharaana.

If you thought, Whats in a name? "My Name is Khan" Shahrukh Khan is now Dr. Shahrukh Khan.

He was recently felicitated with an honorary doctorate in arts & culture from the Bedfordshire University in Britain.

For the khopdi ke khopche ki recipe types, wondering why and who gave SRK the award?

The actor was chosen by an association called Routes to Roots, a member of the World Association of Non-Governmental Organization (WANGO). If you really must know all the details, Juhi Chawla and Mahesh Bhatt are among the agency patrons.

Now, I hide my face and rest my case in DeHonor!

Meri Jaan, since SRK is getting recognized in Bedford, lets move on to Hogwart.

The latest Harry Potter movie: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has hit the theatres.

So Chunnu, munnu, tinki, rinki ke papppa, take them for this one.

I saw the movie last night and this one has less action, is less scary, and is more on the lines of a romantically magical (not like the romantically muzikal Karzzzz - the burden ON people :)

It seems that recognitions are raining-n-pouring in Bollywood. Asin got awarded the highest state honor in Tamil Nadu.

Let's not forget that early this year, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Akshay Kumar were both awarded the Padma Sri !

Why? A-Mar-tini and A-mar-Tina se bahut Politikal Konnections bante hain Re !! :))

Talking about politics, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was in Egypt recently attending the dialogue on bilateral and international matters, and he was surrounded by a large group of Egyptians asking him lots of questions, not about economy or political affairs but about Apna Senior Bachchan Re !

For some of you who may be completely unaware, Amitabh Bachchan is collosal-ly popular in Egypt, and people still call Big B the only i-con of the Egyptian masses !! (they really do need to chak-de-ir eyes :)

Aur kyun na ho, did you hear about what the aging actor did in Mumbai recently?

I am sure have you all seen images of the rain paralysing the ever moving Mumbai. The rains has been so bad that the road outside Big B's house Prateeksha was also in waist deep water.

So, when the actor decided to take a ride in his SUV to his second home Jalsa in Juhu, he found few women wading through the waterlogged street, and so Big B graciously gave these ladies a lift through those logged streets !

Bachchan Saab! We all know your passion of saving-the damsel-in the rain!! (Kaun Kab Rapat Jaaye??)

Next day the same women were back on the same street hoping to be Lift-ed again, shaayad this time Shahrukh ya Hrithik mil jaaye :)

Meri Jaan, tou Chaahe Hrithik miley ya na miley, with rain crippling the city, Mumbai ki public must definitely be singing:

Is baar mausam mehka hua hai, Is baar saawan behka hua hai… Jaane pee ke chali kya pawan, Sulag sulag jaaye man..

So keep beh-king and hum-ming those tunes, and keep sending those requests and dedications at pankajonebc@yahoo.com

Dont forget that 31st July (Mohammad Rafi's death anniversary) is coming up, so next 2 weeks will all be about Rafi Saab and his songs.

Some of the songs played in the show:

1) Yaara Dhol Bajaake - Dhol
2) Raunak Shaunak - Love, Aaj, Kal
3) Teri Yaadein Leke - Runway
4) Dhan Tana - Kaminey
5) Dance Pe Chance - RNBDJ
6) Thirak Thirak Jaane De - Khoya Khoya Chand
7) Tumhein Jo maine Dekha - Main Hoon Na

Before I let you go, a Bheja Fra saying for you:

Teen baaton ka kabhi bhi bharosa nahin karna chahiye,
"Producer Ki Baat Ka, Donkey Ki Laat Ka, aur Mumbai Ki Barsaat Ka"
:)

Tou Meri Jaan, till we meet next week, Stay Safe and Stay in Loeve,

- Pankaj

Ohno. Missed it by a min. Loved your show yesterday. Your take on Rajesh Khanna and Dilip Kumar was hilarious. Me and My hubby were laughing riots while driving back from NJ Penn. Keep up the good work on EBC. Kirit's request is Abhi na jaao chod ke for the Rafi show.

DeepT said...

Great blog as usual. Shahrukh getting a doctrate award is a joke. I am going to see Harry Potter over the weekend. Who is in that picture with Big B? Abhishek? He is so cute. You did not play the Laaya kaisi jagah song? Please play next time.

Pooja said...

Great show and post. I always think that I should read your post the first and respond, but then I am in meetings till lunch. I dont agree with the previous person, SRK is the best and he deserves the award. I love old songs of Mohammad Rafi My request is tere mere sapne from Guide going to my mom and dad. Question for you is tell me where an I right now?

Rafeeq said...

Nice show yesterday. I loved the song from Runway. whats your take on Harry Potter? I have heard that it is great. Shahrukh is just trying to find awards and that too when Juhi is part of the group? Hey for Rafi Saab can you play Tumhare julf ke saaye main? I dont know the movie.

Jay said...

Where did you get this picture of Mr. Bachchan? Its a cool picture. Play it again yaar - aaj rapat jaaye, rimjhim ghire, humko tumse ho gayaa hain pyaar, mach gayaa shor, samundar main nahaake. You da man. Love your blog. For Rafi songs you have to play chal meri bhai. Mr Bachchan and Mohammad Rafi.

Marisa said...

Good one. I really liked the IIFA clip of Hrithik singing. He is the best in Bollywood. Kambhakht Ishq was nice in parts. I personally hate Kareena but she was ok in the movie. Can you play the old song tere mere sapne going to Tarun?

Reena said...

Pankaj, my mum is requesting if can you play all these songs for the Mohd Rafi show? Request is from Pammi to Hardeep (my dad). All these songs and his fav. din dhal jaaye, ahsaan tera hoga mujpe, mere mehboob, khoya khoya chand, kar chale hum fida, chaudvi ka chand ho, chahoonga main tujhe, chal ud ja re panchi.
