The entire star cast of Bol Bachchan is on the ninth sky these days as the flick is getting a stupendous response from the audience moreover it is all set to touch the benchmark of 100 crores soon. Film pundits hold a view that the magic of Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty has worked again.

Bol Bachchan has picked up the way everyone had expected from a Rohit Shetty – Ajay Devgan movie. It is doing great business and people are pretty confident that this too will enter the Rs. 100 Crore club after Golmaal Returns and Singham. So, now Ajay has turned his attention towards his next movie ‘Son Of Sardar’ which releases this Diwali and will take on Shahrukh Khan’s romantic movie directed by Yash Chopra. But tell this to Ajay and he dismisses the thought saying he is not taking on anyone.

When asked if he thinks the 100 Crore club is not restricted to only Khans anymore, Ajay said that not every film by the Khans did well at the theatres. They used to deliver hit films before and they still are doing the same. Earlier, silver jubilee collections were the benchmark and now it is Rs. 100 Crores.

On being quizzed, he cleared the air and told the sources, “I am not taking on any Khan. My film is an entertainer and Diwali is the right time to release it. It is a complete masala film and I am least concerned about taking on anybody. I don’t wish to take on any one and I don’t think I am big enough to take on anyone. I am just concentrating on my film.”

Abhishek Bachchan has wowed film fraternity with his rib-tickling performance in “Bol Bachchan” – Kunal Kohli said he is “phenomenal” in the movie, while Ashutosh Gowariker found him “outstanding”.

Rohit Shetty’s “Bol Bachchan” was screened for Bollywood Thursday. The guest liked the slapstick comedy as well as Ajay Devgn and others performances, but Abhishek impressed them the most. The film has hit screens Friday.

This is what they have to say:

Kunal Kohli: It was absolutely hilarious. I think Rohit Shetty and team have done an outstanding job. Abhishek is phenomenal, Ajay is also fantastic. Everyone has done a great job. I was laughing so much, my jaws are still hurting.

Ashutosh Gowariker: Very good, a riotous film, very funny. I think Ajay and Abhishek are brilliant in the film. The entire cast is brilliant but I found Abhishek outstanding.

Suniel Shetty: Mind blowing! Abhishek’s best performance. Abhishek at his best and I was reminded of Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) in his young days. Ajay is also fantastic. The whole film is outstanding and according to me, it should be the year’s biggest grosser. I don’t believe in Rs.100 crore or Rs.200 crore, but it is a true entertainer.

Prakash Jha: It’s sheer madness, lovely, brilliant film. He (Rohit Shetty) has surpassed his “Golmaal”.

Meanwhile, Abhishek is overwhelmed with the response.

“So far the response has been fantastic. You can see I am smiling. I am very, very happy that initial screenings have gone well. The audience will watch it now and fingers crossed,” the 36-year-old said at the screening.

When told that his work is being appreciated the most, Abhishek said: “Thank you for saying this. I hope the audience also loves it. Everyone has worked hard and it feels great when you ask such questions.”

Just after a cameo jig in the title song, Big B offers a disclaimer: he isn’t a part of this film, even though his name is. And that is hint enough for the wise. But for those who don’t know, Bol Bachchan (BB) jams chopsticks up the nose of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s comic classic ‘Gol Maal’ and digs itself six feet under with it. While the story is same in theory, being a Rohit Shetty film only adds some cars nailing somersaults, trucks attempting a ballet, baddies playing mid-air Garba after being biffed and Ajay Devgn drawing his eyebrows close enough to show that he means business.

The story has Abhishek Bachchan as Abbas and sister Sania (Asin) left in dreadful conditions after losing their inherited possessions to a relative. Following an advice from family friend Shastri, they make a shift to Ranakpur, b, where they bump into a pack of crowded actors including Ajay Devgn. Rest follows a round and round crazy confusion in story.

If you were thinking that two Bachchans (Amitabh Bachchan has guest appearance in the movie) make it worth watching then watch your words as double sometimes can bring trouble. Abhishek Bachchan in over glitzy, shimmery flower prints has not been able to come up well with the character. Ajay Devgn who ends up speaking not-so-funny Hinglish one liners couldn’t retain the fun element in the movie. The plot is not strong enough and script is not well written to justify the character.

‘Mooch nahin toh kuch nahin’ may seem like an understatement in this film as almost everyone, excluding Asin and Prachi (thankfully!) proudly jounce their bushy glory on their upper lips. But with a cardboard set and not enough costumes for all the extras, glueing on a mooch can be a cost-effective and efficient way to portray a village in Rajasthan. Kay bole se, Producer-sa?

Rohit Shetty‘s upcoming movie Bol Bachchan will hit the silver screen on July 6. This movie is all about entertainment starring Ajay Devgn, Abhishek Bachchan, Asin and Prachi Desai. One of the movies which the audiences think that will join the 100 crore club. So lets wait and watch what happens.

He not just ate it all alone, he went around with the dish and took the food tray to everyone personally. He also made sure everyone on the sets tasted it, including the staff and the technicians, said a source.

If you have talent, it cannot be suppressed for too long. Prachi Desai is someone, who became a household name with not just her serial ‘Kasamh Se’ but also her debut film Rock On.

Let’s see how far Prachi will go with the skin fest. Considering that her close bond with mentor Ekta Kapoor has gone kaput, the girl might as well go for a major image makeover. Source

Our sources reveal that Sunny Deol has expressed his interest to rope in charming Prachi Desai for his forthcoming venture ‘Ghayal Returns’. The idea was given by director Ashwini Chaudhary who got impressed with the actress after watching her performances in ‘Rock On!’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai’. Sunny even felt that she befitted the character of one of the lead actress, sources revealed.

The film which is the sequel of popular 1990 movie ‘Ghayal’, said to have two heroines. According to the director the story takes off 20 years after the protagonist in Ghayal, Ajay Mehra, goes to jail.

Seems like petite Prachi Desai is not game for an on-screen kisses as buzz has it that she recently snubbed none other than a hunk of an actor John Abraham for a smoldering smooch that was required in their next film.

As to why she rebuffed John, Prachi reasons that she has a no-kiss clause written in her film contracts. Now as a substitute of a lip-lock a unit member revealed, “Instead, a sensuous track will now be shot between John and Chitrangda. This will be the first time they will be paired on-screen.”

Reportedly, Abraham plays a Casanova in Shrishti Arya`s next, which also stars Chitrangda Singh and Desai. In keeping with the image his character demanded, John was to kiss Prachi, but now it seems audience has to do with a sensuous track.

However, a source close to Prachi however maintains, “She is open to discussing her character as per the script demands. There`s no such hard-and-fast rule from her side.” Source

We all know that she won hearts as a simple belle in ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai’, in turn making a good impression on the filmmakers in the industry. And here is Prachi Desai with a project in her kitty.

The slick appeal of the Ajay Devgn- and Emraan Hashmi-starrer retro era underworld saga ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai’ managed to bring back the queues and the ‘House Full’ board at the ticket counters this weekend.

”Once Upon…’ has been rocking on the screens in terms of numbers. It has had the biggest opening overseas ever, especially in Dubai, for any Ajay Devgn- or Emraan Hashmi-starrer,’ Sunny Khanna, senior vice president, Balaji Motion Pictures, told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

‘It has even had the biggest opening in terms of a Diwali release, like last year’s ‘All The Best’ that had Ajay and Sanjay Dutt,’ he added.

Trade sources claim the movie has grossed over Rs.30 crore (Rs.300 million) in the domestic market in its initial run and is expected to touch the Rs.75 crore gross mark in its overall run worldwide. In the Middle-East, ‘Once Upon…’ grossed around AED 1 million (close to Rs.13 million) in Dubai in four days (as movies release on Thursdays there). More

Hey friends ! Shy girl with girl next door image, Prachi Desai has gone bold for Milan Luthria’s forthcoming film ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai’. It is believed that the actress has done some intimate scenes with co-star Emraan Hashmi.

Apparently the intimate scenes have been shot very aesthetically. Prachi requested the director to keep minimal people on the sets as she was not comfortable shooting the scenes with people staring with eyes wide open. Interestingly, Prachi had refused to do a smooch scene with Tusshar Kapoor during ‘Life Partner’ but it seems the girl is now bored with her shy-coy image with ‘Once Upon A Time In Mumbai’.

Prachi informs that she was aware of the bed scene in the film and had no qualms. It is also believed that though there are a few love making scenes in the film, Prachi didn’t indulge in onscreen smooch with Emraan, who is Bollywood’s eternal serial kisser! Source
