Akshay crosses new milestone with huge TMK opening

Akshay Kumar would be heaving a sigh of relief. Those who had questioned his superstardom after the poor opening of 'Action Replayy' won't really have much to say after the terrific start that 'Tees Maar Khan' has enjoyed at theaters. Of course ultimately it's the content which will do the talking to decide the kind of distance that this Farah Khan directed film eventually travels. However the fact remains that the weekend belongs to a star and this is where Akshay has delivered.

'Tees Maar Khan' has netted around 40 crores over the weekend, hence turning out to be the biggest opener ever for Akshay Kumar. Before this 'Housefull' had netted around 30 crores over the weekend but with 40 crores coming in, 'Tees Maar Khan' is now next only to 'Dabangg' after crossing '3 Idiots' opening.

While it was 'Tees Maar Khan' wave all over with the entire world talking about it, whether in a positive or a negative tone, the fact remains that in the process of that happening, Ajay Devgn starrer 'Toonpur Ka Superrhero' was totally ignored. This live-animation film didn't find any takers whatsoever with an opening that was merely in 10% range. Clearly, those who wanted to check out a film over the weekend preferred 'Tees Maar Khan' and were in no mood to spend on two films.

As for 'Isi Life Mein', absolutely nothing went in it's favour. Wrong release period, poor show timings, nil hype, an average product in hand, no curiosity amongst the audience and poor reviews meant that 'Isi Life Mein' went totally unnoticed. The only thing that went in favour of this Sooraj Barjatya production was some good promotion (if one goes by the small budget in which the film has been made). However that was never going to be good enough for this film which fetched a disastrous 5%-10% opening for itself. Akshay Oberoi and Sandeepa Dhar, two debutants of 'Isi Life Mein' may benefit though as their act has come for some appreciation. However, the film hasn't quite turned out to be smash debut per se with hardly anyone checking it out.

Bollywood Ruled By "K" Ladies

2010 certainly showed that the heroines with names starting with the letter "K" made it big. They left a good mark by the end of the year.

Kajol: She made it big once again by pairing with friends Shahrukh Khan and Karan Johar in a movie called My Name Is Khan. That movie was a hit. Although her other movies such as We Are Family and Toonpur Ka Superhero didn't do that well, but My Name Is Khan definitely gave her a lot of success.

Katrina Kaif: This lady here though cannot act but she always makes it big every year. Her movies somehow become a hit for one reason or the other. It does not necessarily have to be her performance. Tees Maar Khan and her popular song Shiela Ki Jawani gave her a dream come true end to 2010. Besides, for the first time she was recognized a bit for her performance, though it actually sucked and was hardly worth remmebering in Rajneeti. Rajneeti was only Ranbir Kapoor's film but Indian audience love Katrina way too much.

Kareena Kapoor: The Kapoor and Saifoo girl, didn't do well initially with Milenge Milenge and We Are Family. But the year ended in her favor with Golmaal 3 making one of the biggest hits of 2010.

Kangana Ranaut: She is a beautiful and edgy actress who knows how to perform. Her performance in Once Upon A Time In Mumbai was appreciated.

Konkana Sen: She is always liked for her genuine acting skills and this year she acted well in Athiti Tum Kab Jaoge?

Salman's Dad Organizes Special Show For Tees Maar Khan

Salman Khan's father, Salim Khan organized a special screening for Katrina and Akshay Kumar's new film "Tees Maar Khan" which was attended by family and few close friends.

Akshay definitely looked great smiling all the way as his film is a success.

Katrina most profitable actress of 2010

Ajay Devgn and Katrina Kaif will be crowned the most profitable actors of 2010 at the 'ETC Bollywood Business Awards 2010 - Evaluating Movie Moghuls' today (December 28). First timer Abhinav Kashyap will get the most profitable director trophy.

"Figures talk, you cannot manipulate it, you cannot play games with it," said Ajay, who has had six releases this year including 'Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?' 'Raajneeti', 'Golmaal 3', and 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai' and except 'Aakrosh' and 'Toonpur Ka Superhero', all his movies did good business.

The research done by ETC indicated that Indian audiences paid a cumulative sum of Rs.282 crore to watch Ajay's films throughout the year vis-a-vis Rs.142 crore to watch Katrina's 'Raajneeti' and 'Tees Maar Khan'.

Breaking all records is Salman Khan’s 'Dabangg' that has been named as the top grosser of the year. Debut director Abhinav Kashyap bagged the most profitable director trophy for the corrupt cop saga with audiences paying a cumulative sum of over Rs.140 crore to watch his film.

"It is a fair assessment of the recipient's work and his popularity and mass appeal," said Arbaaz Khan, winner of the most successful producer for 'Dabangg'.

Akshay and Farah enjoy biggest opening ever with TMK

Akshay Kumar has all the right reasons to smile. His Tees Maar Khan has now taken the biggest ever opening of his career with the first day netting over 14 crores (as confirmed by the makers UTV Motion Pictures). Before TEES MAAR KHAN, Akshay's biggest opener was HOUSEFULL with the first day collections boasting of collections over 10 crores. However TMK with 14 crores has surpassed that mark by a huge margin, hence promising an enormous number once the first week comes to a close.

"This is indeed a huge achievement for Akshay Kumar," comments a trade observer, "2010 had started off well for him with HOUSEFULL being a hit. Even his KHATTA MEETHA has turned out to be a coverage affair and for the budget at which it was made, a 40 crores final run was decent enough."

Hottest Items Songs of 2010

Though Bollywood is always talking about item songs every year, 2010 was surely an year of unforgettable item songs.

The toughest competition is between Munni Badman Huee of Dabangg and Sheila Ki Jawani from Tees Maar Khan. Most websites are running poles between which of these two would be the most popular one. Malaika Arora and Katrina Kaif have made audience and media crazy with their dance and looks. The songs themselves are pretty good. Personally, I feel Munni Badnam Huee has more fun and witty lyrics while Sheila Ki Jawani is a silly fun song for girls with pretty looks and less brains some how.

The 2010 Top Item Songs Are:

1. Sheila Ki Jawana from Tees Maar Khan with Katrina Kaif

2. Munni Badnaam Huee from Dabangg with Malaika Arora Khan

3. Tere Ishq Se Meetha Kuch Bhi Nahi from Aakrosh with Sameera Reddy

4. Neeyat Kharab Hai from Teen Patti with Maria Gopez

5. Ishq Barse Boondan from Rajneeti with Barkha Bisht

6. Aaila Re from Khatta Meetha with Kainaat Arora

Farah: I didn't use Katrina for titillation

The buzz surrounding the film is tremendous, mainly due to the success of Sheila ki Jawani. But there's a certain section of people who have found the song to be too vulgar.

However, director Farah Khan refutes such charges and says that she has not used any of her heroines in a vulgar way.

Farah says, 'I didn't use Katrina for titillation. She was comfortable also because she knew I was not trying to expose her or do something for titillation. She trusted me and I would never ever portray my heroines in a vulgar way.'

Continuing in the same vein, she says, 'She is looking sexy and sensuous but not vulgar or obscene. I would not shoot angles like that. If she was not comfortable with a take, I would immediately change it. And then she uses that voice which my daughters use when they want chocolate.'

Tees Maar Khan Posters and Stills

Katrina Kaif & Farrah Khan promote Tees Maar Khan on Masterchef

The dumb bitch makes a grand entry in Masterchef. Well I call her a bitch, cause she doesn't like to be called hard-working & I call her dumb cause I don't have much choice.

Nobody looks nice, but Katrina Kaif is very happy. Many people say Akshay Kumar is her real love, but Twinkle jee would never let anything happen.

Women have given bad & constipated expressions. Akshay looks good in this one. Katrina Kaif seems Nag rani & Farrah Khan was trying to smile I suppose but somebody had already clicked.

Even she looks better in this pic. Which reminds me that she is such a dumb fuck. She mentioned that both Salman Khan & Akshay Kumar didn't look at her in one song. Are men supposed to look at her all the time? And she doesn't even know the story correctly. A train of antiques is a train of gold in her fucked up mind. One thing's for sure. She never liked Salman Khan. He's the one who's still mad about her. He has that 'fida tuj pay dil mera' attitude towards her.

These are all very hazy pics. And these men are not much fun to look at. They must all be sycophants of Akshay Kumar.

KAT was being Katty Once Again on Bigg Boss

Well, we did expect Katrina would not be all sweet on her Bigg Boss visit to promote her film Tees Maar Khan and she didn't prove us wrong. Last night as we watched the show, Salman Khan was his chirpy and entertaining self without doing anything exceptional in Katrina's presence. He was entertaining and genuine as he is every week.

But Katrina showed she was uncomfortable somehow. All dressed up and looking gorgeous, she somehow always has this weird dissatisfaction when she is near Salman Khan. When Salman asked her of all her co stars (Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Imran Khan) who did she liked working with the most and Katrina very arrogantly replied "Akshay Kumar." Perhaps Salman wanted to hear some special reply thinking they were a couple once, he asked another question that between Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan, who did she find a better actor on the sets...and Kat still gave a stubborn reply saying, "Of the two, Akshay was a better actor to work with."

I guess Katrina, knows she was a bitch to Salman and used him to get a good start in Hindi cinema. She never even gave him any respect while they were together and hardly ever openly accepted their togetherness. But she happily announced about their break up. I guess she hates herself deep down for being with Salman because she definitely has the hots for men like Akki and Ranbir, but Salman was the only fool who could help a bitch like her.

Anyway, Salman did then react back in his own witty style by throwing a few statements on Kat. He said indirectly, she loves to work with young heroes. And that she only sees gold. She only saw an antique once in her life (implying himself to be an antique and showing her as a greedy and materialistic woman). Even while dancing, Katrina hardly showed much enthusiasm. Farah however was sweet since she is Salman's family friend. She even said Katrina and Salman had a superb onscreen chemistry and looked great together to which Kat remained silent.

Katrina, though a part of Hindi cinema maintains that firangi aura even today where she can hardly speak hindi. She often passes dumb statements without knowing it was unnecessary. All in all, after last night's episode it was so evident that they were always a good looking couple in reel life but hardly ever were great companions.
