DIRECTOR: Sabbir Khan
STARRING: Tiger Shroff, Shraddha Kapoor and Sudheer Babu
RATING: 1.5 stars
I whistled the moment Tiger Shroff made his entry. And then he spoke and I found all the air that left my mouth a second ago, rapidly abandon my body leaving me like a deflated balloon at the end of movie. But what an entry boss!! He did a head stand, actually a two finger stand, balancing all his body weight on two fingers. Mind-frigging-blowing.
Usually there are action sequences in a movie, around a story. In Baaghi there is a story around action sequences. I am sorry. I am misleading when I say there is a story in the film.
Shroff plays Ronny Bina Screw Wala, (pun definitely intended) who is a rebel. We are told this at every given opportunity. He is such a rebel that when his father packs him off to a martial arts school in Kerela, he obliges. He is asked to sleep on a mat he doesn’t mind. He is made to sweep the floors of the school, serve food and do all kinds of jobs, he does them all with a smile. I mean he is such a rebel that Oxford now spells the word as –o-b-e-d-i-e-n-t.
In fact there is a scene where Ronny is given a ten minute lecture on how he should be a rebel with purpose which makes perfect sense especially coming from a movie that has writing with so great purpose.
Ronny falls in love with a girl called Sia who is special; like Taare-Zameen-Par-every-child-is-special-kind-of-special. Like she talks to the rains; holds fully fledged conversations with nature, like when it should rain, where, which parts…and even an –I-love-you.
Sia is modern day Sita minus T. Unlike Sita maiyya she doesn’t drop her jewelry. She lavishly distributes them. Be it a ring or an expensive necklace, if she has it, she will give it.
No wonder Ms. Generous has two dumbbells of suitors; Ronny and Raghav. They both letch at her, air kiss her, make dirty jokes as well. However one becomes the hero, the other villain, because the former spots her five minutes earlier. You see, women in Hindi films, are not human beings. They are like a seat in a local train in Mumbai; whoever spots it first, gets it.
Why these men fall for her is neither explained no explored. Their love triangle is so unnatural that Kim Kardashian’s face looks real.
The action shifts to Thailand where Kalaripayattu meets Shaolin Kung Fu for most of the second half. Right in the middle of the film we are told the villain lives in a ten story building that’s guarded by professional killers on every floor. I feared they would have a long fight sequence on every alternate floor in the climax of the film. I was wrong. They had a fight sequence on EVERY floor.
Baaghi offers some brilliant humor as well. Like at one point we are told how menacing Raghav’s professional killers are. The next moment a few of them are beaten blue and black, single handedly by Shraddha Kapoor.  
The film also offers intense emotional moments like Sanjay Mishra as a blind taxi driver, trying to make ends meet or Sunil Grover as a Punjabi daddy subjected to such uninspiring writing that you shed a tear or two for the sad demise of humor and comic timing.
Some of the action sequences are good but it just gets too repetitive. Fight sequences without any emotional engagement just falls flat anyway. You need to be invested in their stories to be able to root for them. The film surely scores in cinematography. The way Kerala is shot, especially the boat race (Vallam Kalli) sequence made me visit the state so badly.  
Tiger-Gareeb-Producers-Ka-Hrithik-Roshan-Shroff is cast well. His agile body and his training bring due credibility to the martial arts, the film features. He kicks some serious butt in action scenes, but papa, he needs to work hard on his dialogue delivery.
Shraddha Kapoor shows some promise too. She has lent such depth to the character of Sia with her clothes. Like she wears Salwar Kameez when she is in India and then slips into a blue bra top when she is in Thailand.
Baaghi bored me largely. Watch it only if you are an MMA fan.  More-Info






Bipasha Basu will soon be having her Mehendi ceremony and her friends have a number of surprises planned for her. Reportedly, the theme of the function is pink since it’s Bipasha’s favourite colour.
Her friend Shyamli Arora recently told Pinkvilla, “As all know by now it’s a gulabi theme for her mehendi night. Interestingly, Pink and Red are Bipasha’s favourite colours and suit her the most. So we all decided to lock the pink theme, in terms of décor, lighting etc. At first, it was supposed to be an all-girls outing, and no men were part of it. Though, we have now invited Karan and his family to the function. It’s completely going to be a fun and frolic night. We have planned quite a few surprises for the couple, which will be revealed on that night only.”
Sounds like its going to be a fun night and we can’t wait to see the pics! More Info

According to a report, Shah Rukh Khan recently revealed that he seemed to be in an exceptionally bad mood on the sets of Raees because his character demanded that he get into a certain mode.
He was quoted saying, "I am not really a method actor but this role was so intense that I had to get into a certain zone. I am not the kind of person that this character is, so I would try and be like him even when I was not in front of the camera. After about two months of shooting for Raees, my cameraman hesitatingly asked me, 'Sir why are you looking so upset these days? We feel scared to approach you.'
"To think someone who knows me for years would think like this, I was amused. He has seen me on all the sets, includingDon. This is the first time he said something of this sort to me. Even the director Rahul Dholakia told me that you seem to be in a really bad mood most of the time on the sets. I had to tell them that I have to do this to be able to get what the character is like. If I start talking to people and be like what I generally am on the sets, it would really be difficult for me to get into the character that I play. It is fascinating but this is the first time I feel that I have actually attempted method acting to this extent.” More Info






In an interview with DNA, Kangana Ranuat’s ex-boyfriend Adhyayan Suman has made some startling revelations!
Adhyan recalls, “I’d always see her eccentric behaviour as a woman’s emotions. But it started getting worse. One day when I was at her house, time, Bhattsaab called me after seeing the rushes of Raaz 2 and told me he loved my work and he would direct me. He quit directing by then, so I was like ‘Wow, that’s amazing!’ I was talking on speakerphone and she was hearing everything. She told me, “Behen**** mujhe koi kyun nahi phone kar rahe yaar?” That was the first time I heard her abuse. I was made to feel guilty and like shit for no reason.”
Adhyayan says the physical abuse came later on. He says, “I was walking down the stairs with her after a party, when she turned around and slapped me! She said, “Mother Fu***, behen****! Bh*sd*ke! You are f***** jealous of my success!” The intensity of the slap was so hard I was almost crying. That was the first time she got violent.
“The next day we had a press meet for Raaz 2 at my building. Kangana said she wouldn’t come. Our PR started panicking but then she turned up. I held her hand and said, “Baby I am so sorry. I love you.” She slapped me hard, again. I was just zapped! I was crying like a kid… and then the entire rant and MC/BC gaalis began.”
He also talks of drug abuse. “On her birthday in March 2008 at The Leela, she had invited everybody that she had worked with. She said “Let’s do cocaine in the night.” I had smoked hash with her a couple of times before and didn’t like it so I said no. I remember getting into the biggest argument that night because I said no to cocaine.”
About the whole fiasco with Hrithik Roshan he says, “I felt a sense of déjà vu as I could identify completely with what’s happening to him. I can understand the pain that he is going through. I have been there. It’s not about physical pain, but how emotionally tortured you feel. I feel like now,  I have to speak for people to know the truth.”

Recently, Kangana Ranaut’s ex-boyfriend Adhyayan Suman made some truly shocking comments about the actress. In his interview with DNA,Adhyayan has hinted that Kangana apparently practiced black magic!
He said, “Kangana took me to a astrologer called Pallavi who always gave positive news to Kangana and negative ones to me. She said my time wasn’t right and if I did certain pujas I would be fine. I didn’t believe in all this but Kangana insisted I listen to her. One day, Kangana called me at home in the night to do some puja. I reached at 11.30pm as the puja was to start at 12. She had a small guest room in her apartment and she had covered it in black, including black curtains. There were some random statues of God, fire all around, some scary things kept. She asked me to chant some mantras, and locked me in. I was terrified. I didn’t do it and I came out and told her that I had. One day, Pallavi said go to the graveyard at 12am and throw these certain things. I was chilled to the bone! I didn’t go.
“I remember going to my Tarot reader after she started making me doing pujas. She told me she sensed a woman from pahadi region doing black magic on me. I knew only one person back then, my girlfriend Kangana, who used to go to Himachal for certain pujas there. My Tarot reader said she saw something really bad happening and warned me to get out of the relationship.”
Adhyayan says this stressed his mother out and they consulted their family’s Pandit. He recalls, “The first thing he asked me was: “Khana banati hai tumhare liye?” When I said yes, he said, “Apna impure blood milati hai khaane mein black magic ke liye.” More Info





According to reports, the Thane police, who seized 20 tonnes of ephedrine recently, are investigating reports that actress Mamta Kulkarni is a central figure in the international drug ring that tried to smuggle in the contraband.
The development came as investigators revealed that Mamta's Kenya-based husband, Vicky Goswami, was the kingpin of the drug operation.
"This is an international racket and Vicky Goswami is the main link to it. As for Mamta Kulkarni, we are probing her role," Thane police commissioner Parambir Singh was quoted saying.
Mamta is believed to be in Kenya currently. While senior Thane officers did not divulge details about her role in her husband's drug syndicate, sources in the police said she was the face of the ring.
A Thane police officer who did not want to be named alleged that as Vicky couldn’t leave Kenya because of an Interpol notice against him, he asked Mamta apparently to meet clients in Dubai, Singapore, South Africa and the US.
Allegedly, Mamta also struck business deals with drug networks in Maharashtra, and Vicky used her name to carry out bank transactions.  More Info

During a recent interview, Tiger Shroff, made some truly shocking comments!
When asked about who would be his ideal partner, he was quoted saying, “I will get married to a girl from the village. When I reach home, I want a massage so that I can get relaxed. She should stay at home, keep the house clean and give me home-cooked food. I like girls who are the housewife-type.”
But later on he issued a statement saying, “This is ridiculous; please don't believe everything you read. I'm all for woman power and always talk about it in my interviews. I love women who are strong and independent and always believe they are equal to, if not stronger than men.”
It could be that the actor was misquoted but such regressive comments from such a young star are truly disappointing! moreinfo

The controversy surrounding Salman Khan’s appointment as the goodwill ambassador of India for the Rio Olympics 2016, has started a heated deabte. While many people are supporting the decision, legendary sportsman Milkha Singh expressed his displeasure and said that the sporting world should have been given the honour.
Salman Khan’s father, Salim Khan had lashed out at Milkha in a series of tweets earlier. In his tweets, Sr. Khan defended his son saying that he was a good athlete and he also said that it was the Bollywood industry which “resurrected Milkha from fading away in oblivion”.
Now Milkha Sing has reacted saying, “I said the right thing that people who've given their blood and sweat for nation, should be the ambassador. It's a free world, I can say whatever I want and if Salimji has said something about me, I don't mind it.”
He made it clear that he was not against Salman Khan in any way, but opposed the decision of the selection and questioned why a Bollywood actor had to be made a goodwill ambassador for the Olympics. more info

At a recent event, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was asked about what she would wear for big upcoming Cannes red carpet appearance and she had a very interesting reply.
She was quoted saying, “To have a wardrobe laid out this early would be you assuming that I have that kind of time to have my wardrobe planned. I have never spent sleepless nights or weeks or months thinking about what to wear. For me it’s okay this works, this fits, let’s go with it. That’s been the story of my life and that’s the way it’s been rolling.”
Well that does make Ash sound very low maintenance but her glam appearances over the years at Cannes tell a different story! But it certainly looks like we will have to wait until May 11, when the festival starts, to find out what stunning dresses the actress will be wearing this time! more info






Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut had many ups and downs in life and one of many was her secret relationship with Hrithik Roshan, which has become a talk of the town now. The recent revelation of their secret relationship has set the media abuzz. While the two were hitting back each other with legal notices, we were surprised with another big shocking twist that came out to media recently.
Of late, we came through a cozy picture of Hrithik hugging Kangana at the party and surprisingly that picture surfaced on social media like crazy. But little did anyone that the leaked picture was photoshopped . Yes, you read that right!
In her desperation to prove that she had "something" to do with Hrithik, Roshan Kangna has done the unthinkable. She has used a distorted picture from a party to prove that point.
In the same party, Hrithik's ex-wife Suzanne is there with the whole lot of common friends. All of them are hugging each other and making a jovial group picture. A group picture has been zoomed on to give an impression that Kangana was in a personal relationship with Hrithik.
The leaked picture not only included Kangana and Hrithik as these pictures are from the same night of December 2010 where Sussanne Khan, Arjun Rampal with his wife and many others were present.
We are surprised to know with this new strange strategy to prove oneself and all this just for the sake of proving that she had "something" to do with Hrithik Roshan?
Well, time will tell better...!  more info

Katrina Kaif apparently feels that there is nothing new about Salman Khan being embroiled in controversies. The latest controversy in Sallu’s life started when he was recently appointed as the Goodwill ambassador of the Indian contingent for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Several members of the Indian sports fraternity have questioned the selection of the actor as brand ambassador.
Allegedly, during the wrap up party of Baar Baar Dekho, Kat was asked about alleged ex-boyfriend Salman being appointed as the goodwill ambassador. And apparently she was quoted saying, “Salman ko leke controversy hai woh naya cheez hai kya?”
A number of sports personalities are against the decision. 2012 London Olympics bronze medalist Yogeshwar Dutt made his displeasure known through a series of tweets. He wrote, "Everybody has the right to promote movies in India, but Olympics is not a place to promote films."
Milkha Singh too was not happy about the selection. He said, "India has produced so many sportspersons who have given their sweat and blood for the country like PT Usha, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Ajit Pal and so many others. One of these could have been made a goodwill ambassador. What was the need to import a person from Bollywood?" he asked. This even made Sallu's dad Salim Khan lash out at Milkha Singh on Twitter!
But athletes such as Mary Kom feel that the Bollywood celebrity's mass appeal would help raise awareness about Olympic sports ahead of the Games in August. more info


Sushmita Sen has been on Twitter for a while now but the actress made her Instagram debut recently and shared a video of her daughters Renee and Alisah along with a few pictures from her holidays.

Hrithik Roshan has strongly denied being involved in a relationship with Kangana Ranaut, but a new picture speaks volumes about their alleged affair!
This intimate picture of Hrithik and Kangana was apparently clicked at one of Arjun Rampal’s private parties. The picture could prove that the relationship was not a figment of Kangana’s imagination, as has been claimed by Hrithik in his legal notice.
Hrithik’s lawyer, Dipesh Mehta had said, "Our client states that he and you have acted in two films together, and besides a strictly professional relationship, there has not been any social, personal, platonic and/or intimate relationship between our client and yourself." Well, this picture surely puts those claims under question!
Also, the recent leaked emails between the two show that apparently Kangana was interacting with an imposter posing as the star! But now with this image being leaked, looks like the tables have turned in Kangana’s favour again. Watch this space for the latest updates. more info






Salman Khan has become controversy’s favourite child yet again! He has been receiving flak for being selected as India’s Goodwill Ambassador for Rio Olympics 2016, with leading sportspersons such as Milkha Singh voicing their displeasure on the selection.
But looks like Sallu is getting support from unlikely quarters! Apparently, ex girlfriend Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is lending her support to the star’s appointment as goodwill ambassador.
Recently, when asked for her take on the controversy surrounding Salman, Ash said, “Anybody who is doing good to represent the country and anybody who is working or seeking or standing out for whatever vocation we have in the country be it sports, arts or music, I think that’s wonderful and needs to be recognised.”
Well, it certainly seems like Ash doesn’t disagree with Salman’s selection! more info

Ranveer Singh has hiked his fee, reportedly to double of what it used to be, after the success of Bajirao Mastani. He has also allegedly upped his fee for his endorsements and his stage shows.
A source was quoted saying, “Ranveer charged 2 crore, a little less than what Shah Rukh Khan charges, for every stage performance. And since he performed at almost every stage performance this season, you can easily figure out how much money he accrued through his live shows at the awards this year.”
Other sources have said that Ranveer’s equity has “shot through the sky” after his film beat the collections of Shah Rukh Khan’s film. Looks like King Khan is getting some stiff competition from the young star!
The actor will be next seen in Aditya Chopra’s Befikre that also stars Vaani Kapoor. more info

According to reports, Deepika Padukone has signed Kabir Khan’s next opposite Salman Khan. But the actress apparently agreed to do the yet untitled film only on certain conditions that she put forth ahead of giving the project a green signal. 
A source close to the movie revealed, “Deepika signed this film with Salman on a condition that Kabir Khan promised her a meaty role. She did not want a small part, which is typical for any Salman movie. She has clearly asked Kabir to be careful of her part in the film.”
The actress was initially being considered for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and even Sultan opposite Salman, however the films went to Sonam Kapoor and Anushka Sharma. We do hope this time around the stars will be paired together!
Currently Deepika is working on her Hollywood debut film xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage opposite Vin Diesel. more info

It was recently revealed that Shahid Kapoor will be playing a delusional rockstar in his upcoming film Udta Punjab. And now there are reports doing the rounds that the role is allegedly based on the life of Yo Yo Honey Singh, who had recently gone underground as he was apparently battling his addictions.
The film’s team has officially denied any resemblance between Shahid’s Tommy Singh and Honey Singh, but a source from the film has apparently admitted that there are similarities between the two.
The source says, “The whole cult of the wild raunchy Punjabi rock star was spearheaded by Yo Yo Honey Singh. Toh kahin na kahin usski chabbi to aani hi hai. I’d say Shahid plays a much wilder and far more aggressive version of Yo Yo.”
Shahid is cast as a Punjabi musician in Birmingham, who is brought by his Tauji played by Satish Kaushik to Punjab to become a rockstar.
“It’s a wild character who indulges in rampant substance abuse,” adds the source. more info
