Songs celebrating friendship are so prevalent in our cinema that it becomes difficult to say which came first: dosti or dosti ke gaane. Subhash K Jha lists his selections for the best dosti ke gaane.

In recent times, the only really rousing friendship song was heard in the Kartik Aaryan starrer Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety. The song ‘Tera yaar hoon main, Tu jo rootha toh kaun hansega,Tu jo chhoota toh kaun rahega, Tu chup hai toh yeh darr lagta hai, Apna mujhko ko ab kaun kahega, Tu hi wajah…Tere bina bewajah bekar hoon main, Tera yaar hoon main’ written by Kumaar and composed by Rochak Kohli is sung by Arijit Singh with exceptional feeling. Arijit counts this among his personal favourite songs. Kartik Aaryan’s sincere and heartfelt emotive acumen added substantially to the song’s impact.

‘Tera Yaar Hoon Main’ is indeed comparable with ‘Diye jalte hain Phool Khilte Hain,...

10 Years Of Bajrangi Bhaijaan(Photo Credit –Jio Hotstar)

Kabir Khan’s critically acclaimed 2015 comedy-drama Bajrangi Bhaijaan is widely regarded as one of Salman Khan’s finest performances and among his most beloved films. As the movie completes ten years today, here’s a surprising bit of trivia: before Salman took on the now-iconic role of Pawan Chaturvedi, the film was reportedly offered to another top Bollywood star. Can you guess who he was? Read on to find out.

The Bollywood Superstar Who Could’ve Starred In Bajrangi Bhaijaan

According to an earlier report by India TV, the role in Bajrangi Bhaijaan was initially offered to Bollywood’s Greek God, Hrithik Roshan. The report reveals that Baahubali helmer S.S. Rajamouli approached eminent filmmaker Rakesh Roshan with the film’s script and wanted Hrithik Roshan to play the lead role. However, things didn’t move forward due to disagreements over the script’s asking price.

Subhash K Jha celebrates Hrithik Roshan’s Krissh, which released in 2006. Director Rakesh Roshan speaks about the making of the superhero film in this fabulous edition of This Day That Year..

We’ve seen it before in Superman, Batman, and King Kong. But our Krrish has something extra-special that those films didn’t. Hrithik Roshan. Extraordinary is the word for the measured manner in which he glides through the air to the beat of Rajesh Roshan’s rather-vapid songs… or cuts through the breeze to the stunning special effects created with a verve so far unknown to Indian cinema.

Krrish takes us into the world of masked fantasy where the stakes are incredibly high… as high as the computer-generated leaps that the super-hero takes as he tries to save the world from the clutches of a megalomaniacal villain with a glint in his eyes that can only belong to Naseeruddin Shah.

Jackson Wang is making waves during his latest visit to India, and what’s really caught everyone’s attention is his reunion with Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan.

Their meeting quickly became a hot topic among fans and spread widely online.

Jackson is currently in India to promote his upcoming album, Magic Man 2. In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, he made a playful comment about being part of Krrish 4, a film many fans are eagerly waiting for.

He said, “He’s doing that. Krrish 4. Yeah. It’s not in production yet, right? I’m in it. I’m the new Krrish. I’m just kidding. I’m sorry, I’m an extrovert.

Amrita Rao Was Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish First Choice, Not Priyanka Chopra(Photo Credit –Facebook/Amazon Prime Video)

An intriguing casting fact about the iconic Hrithik Roshan starrer Krrish has surfaced—Amrita Rao was originally approached for the lead female role before Priyanka Chopra was finalized.

In an interview with Hindustan Times the Vivah actress opened up about why she stepped away from the project. “Hrithik and I did a photoshoot, and unfortunately, the chemistry was missing, as I was looking too young for him. I don’t have any hard feelings about losing Krrish because I strongly believe destiny leads each individual in life,” Amrita shared.

She spoke warmly about her rapport with the Roshan family: “I must be really lucky because the Roshans—Hrithik, Rakesh, and Suzanne—have loved all my films. I...

If you are familiar with Anurag Basu’s drama of desperate passion you’d know that this sensitive filmmaker knows how to slice through the moral fibre of contemporary relationships to arrive at the core truth of human existence. Everyone lives for him or herself. But if a like-minded soul#mate shows up, you don’t mind losing your isolated individualism to include another entity in your universe of self-absorption.

The two handsome human beings in Kites who love each other start off on an entirely materialistic platform. Early in the film, when Jai (Hrithik Roshan) runs into Linda (Barbara Mori) in entirely unromantic circumstances, you know these two desperate souls will make a run for love even if it means losing their lives.

Basu’s finely written film walks a very delicate line between a romance and a crime-caper. If the first quarter of this handsomely evocative drama echoes Woody Allen’s Matchpoint,...

Kareena Kapoor Khan chose Abhishek Bachchan’s Refugee as her debut film, which was helmed by Jp Dutta. It was an average affair at the box office.

Ajay Devgn Refused Krrish 3(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Rakesh Roshan, the acclaimed director of Bollywood once revealed that he approached actor Ajay Devgn for two major films — Karan Arjun and Krrish 3. Read on to know more.

In a conversation with News 18 (Via Bollywoodshaadis.com), Rakesh Roshan revealed that he had decided to offer Ajay Devgn a role as a villain in Krrish 3. The filmmaker shared, “We never got a chance to work together. I couldn’t make a film in which I could cast him. He’s a very fine actor. In every film, he leaves a big impact. I want to work with him, but I am not getting a chance. I did go to him for Krrish 3 to play Vivek Oberoi’s role.”

Further, Rakesh revealed that Ajay did like and appreciated the storyline and screenplay of the film, but he felt playing a negative role would not look good.

Subhash K Jha shines the light on Mamta Kulkarni’s life and career in this special feature.

Why did Mamta Kulkarni become untouchable for the film industry? At one time, she had the best banners. Alas, she didn’t have the manners to go with the banners. A certain crassness was noticed in her behaviour. The industry clung to the crudity and disregarded the girl’s obvious confidence before the camera.

In one of his press interviews, Bharat Shah was once quoted as saying Mamta Kulkarni is a “loose woman.” I do believe the polite and soft-spoken producer-tycoon was misquoted. How can any individual of such stature and power talk so “loosely” about a lady?

Mamta had it all. Then she went and lost it to God knows what. Perhaps her ego? Or was it the desire to reach the moon without getting her feet snarled in the caters?

Film stars and journalists can never be friends. There can be excellent working relationships between a star and a journo, but a real friendship? You’ve got to be living in a make-believe world.

Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel starrer Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai turns 25 this year. However, the casting of the film remains an interesting topic. Did you know that Rakesh Roshan’s first choice was Kareena Kapoor, not Ameesha Patel?

In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Ameesha Patel claimed that Kareena didn’t willingly leave but was asked to step down.“Actually, she (Kareena Kapoor) didn’t back out. From what Rakesh ji told me, he asked her to leave the film because they were having differences,” she said.

Padmaavat Re-Release: Sanjay Leela Bhansali...

Netflix has revealed its Indian content slate yet for 2025, spanning over 25 titles across films, series, and unscripted programming, featuring major Bollywood stars and marking several significant debuts.

In the romantic drama “Aap Jaisa Koi,” R. Madhavan and Fatima Sana Shaikh star in what’s described as a heartwarming tale from Dharmatic Entertainment. Another romance, “Dhoom Dhaam,” follows a timid momma’s boy and a daring wild child on their wedding night, starring Yami Gautam Dhar and Pratik Gandhi, alongside Eijaz Khan and Prateik Babbar.

The slate brings Ibrahim Ali Khan (son of Saif Ali Khan) and Khushi Kapoor together in “Nadaaniyan,” a modern love story about a South Delhi diva hiring a middle-class boy as her fake boyfriend. The cast includes veterans Mahima Chaudhary, Suniel Shetty, and Dia Mirza.

What started as a fight to restore his father’s musical legacy has evolved into an unexpectedly raw chronicle of one of Bollywood’s most enduring film dynasties in “The Roshans,” a four-part Netflix documentary series that reveals the struggles and triumphs of three generations.

The project emerged from an unexpected source – a popular digital music player that omitted patriarch Roshan’s name and compositions from its catalog. “One day I wanted to hear my father’s songs, and I could not find Roshan. There was no Roshan in that, with almost all his contemporary musicians, everybody’s name was there but my father’s name was not,” veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan recalls of the incident that occurred nearly a decade ago. Despite reaching out to the company, the oversight remains uncorrected. “That made me think, what can I do for my father?”

This catalyst led to an ambitious project...

Fame often comes at a price, and no one understands it better than those in the public eye. Actor-turned-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan recently opened up about an unsettling encounter he had alongside veteran actor Jeetendra. Father of Hrithik Roshan, Rakesh is best known for directing movies such as Karan Arjun, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, Khoon Bhari Mang, and the movies of the Krrish franchise. Jeetendra is a huge actor who has given numerous hits.

The two stars have also worked together in movies such as Aap Ke Deewane and Priyatama. In a candid chat on Fever FM, Rakesh shared how a casual outing of the two turned sour when an intoxicated man began abusing them in a restaurant. While Rakesh was ready to confront the man, Jeetendra’s calm approach helped de-escalate the situation.

Ram Gopal Varma Recalls The Sholay 2 Idea Pitched By Sascha Sippy (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Ram Gopal Varma is one of Bollywood’s most famous directors, best known for movies like Rangeela and Satya. However, he was also behind Rgv Ki Aag, a 2007 remake of perhaps the most iconic Indian film, Sholay. Despite the vision of Varma and a star cast of Mohanlal, Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, and Sushmita Sen, the film was a commercial and critical flop. However, Varma has now revealed that this was not the only movie in which he would incorporate the elements of Sholay.

Speaking to Galatta India, the maverick filmmaker revealed that Sascha Sippy, nephew of Sholay director Ramesh Sippy, once pitched the idea of a sequel centered around Gabbar Singh’s son. Furthermore, Sippy also wanted to cast Jackie Chan in a role for the movie. However, the concept didn’t sit well with Rgv,...

Krrish 4 is one of the most anticipated films in Bollywood. The Hrithik Roshan starrer has been in development for quite a few years but has still not gone on the floors. The makers have already locked a script for the film, and fans wonder if Jadoo will return to the franchise with the upcoming sequel.

The blue-colored alien was last seen in the first film of the superhero franchise, Koi… Mil Gaya, which came out in 2003. The film’s director, Rakesh Roshan, has finally addressed whether Jadoo will reappear in Krrish 4.

Rakesh Roshan Talks About Jadoo’s Appearance In Krrish 4

When Hrithik Roshan Argued With Father Rakesh Roshan On The Sets Of Kaho Na… Pyaar Hai (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Hrithik Roshan had a dream debut in the 2000 film Kaho Naa… Pyar Hai which was directed by his father Rakesh Roshan. However, did you know that the path to working on this project was not easy. In the Netflix documentary The Roshans, it was revealed that the father-son duo had many conflicts. Apparently, Hrithik wanted to work on some scenes in a certain manner which his father who was the director himself disagreed with sharply.

Hrithik Roshan’s Mother Recalls The Actor’s Arguments With His Father On The Kaho Na… Pyaar Hai Set

Hrithik Roshan’s mother Pinky Roshan recalled in the documentary on how he would confide to her about his disagreements with his father, Rakesh Roshan. She said, “I found him a little sad sometimes. ‘What happened? You don’t look good.

The earlier Hindi film industry, or as we all fondly call it, Bollywood, was not very keen on Ott movies or shows. A few years ago it was not possible to produce a decent documentary where the actors would come forward and speak about their journey. In the last two decades, there has been only one major documentary that stood out for the right reasons, Madness in the Desert, which chronicled the making of Ashutosh Gowariker’s magnum opus Lagaan. However, in the last one-year, Modern Masters: SS Rajamouli has emerged as a documentary that has spoken nothing but the truth about how the great visionary Telugu director and his family made it into the film industry. The reason Modern Masters: SS Rajamouli worked is because it felt personal, and all of us got a peek into the lives of this family who walk, talk, and breathe cinema.

Adding to that,...

Many a times while watching the four-episode docu-series on the Roshan family I was reminded of the film on Yash Chopra where we heard interviewee after interviewee praising the doyen to the skies.

Not that Yash Chopra didn’t deserve the praise. But surely he had his blemishes. Even God does. Not Yash Chopra. Not the Roshans. They are portrayed as a picture-perfect Parivaar where the biggest disputes are probably over which flavour of icecream is to be served for dessert.

The chosen flavour in this documentary is, of course vanilla. All smooth sweet and safe. My favourite of the fulsome foursome is Episode 1 on Rakesh and Rajesh Roshan’s father the great composer Roshan Nagrath who deserves a docu-series of his own.

I remember Lataji telling me more than once that Roshan Senior never got his due. This one does just a quarter of justice to the great composer.

Bollywood Mascot: Superstar Hrithik Roshan is celebrating a significant milestone as his debut film, Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, completes 25 years since its release. The film, directed by Rakesh Roshan, marked the beginning of Hrithik’s illustrious career, catapulting him to stardom and solidifying his place in Bollywood history.

To commemorate this special occasion, Hrithik shared handwritten notes on social media, expressing his gratitude and reflecting on the journey that started with this beloved film.

Hrithik’s Emotional Tribute

In his heartfelt notes, Hrithik thanked his father, Rakesh Roshan, for believing in him and creating a story that resonated with audiences worldwide. He also expressed gratitude to his fans, who embraced him with open arms and turned Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai into an unforgettable phenomenon.

“25 years ago, I embarked on a journey that would change my life forever. The love, encouragement, and unwavering support from all of you have made this journey extraordinary,...
