1. Nimrat Kaur

It was a blue embellished Amit Gt gown for Nimrat for the awards night. I truly want to like this look, but the gown itself, especially the neckline cut, is stopping me from doing so. What I do love is the hair and makeup. Lets hope Nimrat fares better at the next awards show.

Film: "Grand Masti"; Cast: Vivek Oberoi, Aftab Shivdasani, Riteish Deshmukh, Sonalee Kulkarni, Bruna Abdullah, Manjari Phadnis, Kainaat Arora, Karishma Tanna and Maryam Zakaria; Director: Indra Kumar; Rating: no rating

We can re-christen "Grand Masti" as "Dildo Chahta Hai". And if that sounds crude then wait till you see and hear what Indra Kumar's new cocksure comedy has in store for you. There is no pulling back from the black hole of luridness this time.

I remember many of Indra Kumar's film featured a particular tree, which the director considers lucky. There is a tree here in "Grand Masti" too, where a rigid college principal hangs any student who looks with lascivious intent at the girls on the campus.

There are as many as six leading ladies in Grand Masti - Manjari Phadnis, Karishma Tanna, Sonalee Kulkarni, Bruna Abdulla, Maryam Zakaria and Kainaat Arora.

Iranian beauty Maryam Zakaria, who was seen gyrating in films like Agent Vinod and Rowdy Rathore, will now be seen in yet another dance number in Nikhil Advani's D-Day, featuring Arjun Rampal, Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor.

Apparently, Maryam was earlier roped in for a special appearance, however thanks to her sizzling moves, the makers of the film have decided to cast her in an item number as well. Further we hear that Rishi Kapoor might also be part of the item song.

Members of the Bollywood fraternity that attended yesterday’s screening of Abhishek Kapoor’s Kai Po Che, have taken to Twitter to express their praise for the film. Here’s what some of them said:

Arshad Warsi: ‘Depth, substance, human relations, dreams n much more. Great performances, brilliant direction, stunning cinematography thats “Kai Po Che”‘

Item numbers continued their reign in 2012 as a flurry of fast-beat, sexy dance songs hit the Bollywood music scene this past year. The styles ranged from traditional village songs and mujras to modern club hits and Punjabi beats. The sheer volume of item songs in 2012 was almost astounding, and the BollySpice team had a difficult time choosing just five. Therefore one thing is clear: item numbers are most definitely back and here to stay. As we look forward to more item number masala in 2013, let’s recap the fab five of 2012.

5. ‘Kaafirana a.k.a I Want Just You’ (Joker)

It’s hard to appreciate anything from the flop film Joker starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha. If there was one highlight of the movie, it was Chitrangadha Singh’s item number ‘Kaafirana’. The song was initially surrounded by controversy when the original version, titled ‘I Want Fakht You’ was leaked online.

Despite the gems we have seen in 2012, there’s always going to be a lineup of duds that let you down and unintentionally make you laugh. 2012 rolled out the big masala films and introduced a great bunch of well-written and thoughtful films. So it’s time to scrape through dreck and remind ourselves of films that were better left unwatched and tossed out and that too for the right reasons! From egregious dubbing voices for debutantes, to more ridiculous dance moves from Salman and Ajay Devgn, the Razzies this year remind us that there’s always the good, the dreadful, and the awful.

Shooting of Grand Masti, the sequel to Indra Kumar's sex-comedy Masti, is on in full swing. While it's common knowledge that the film once again stars the naughty trio of Riteish Deshmukh, Vivek Oberoi and Aftab Shivdasani, not much was known about the leading ladies of the film. However, now it's been revealed the Grand Masti will feature not 3 but 6 leading ladies. The actresses who will be seen in the film include Manjari Fadnis, Karishma Tanna, Sonalee Kulkarni, Bruna Abdullah, Maryam Zakaria and Kainaat Arora. Besides this, the film also features Suresh Menon and Pradeep Rawat (of Ghajini fame) in supporting roles. While the makers have finished one schedule in Mumbai, the next schedule will take place in Baroda, Gujarat. Grand Masti is written by Milap Zaveri and Tushar Hiranandani and directed by Indra Kumar.

Sweden-based Iranian actress Maryam Zakaria is all set to sizzle on-screen in an item number in Rowdy Rathore starring Akshay Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, after playing a supporting role in Agent Vinod.

“Today, big stars are also doing item numbers. I am an actress, not an item song dancer,” she says flatly.

It was Maryam’s child­hood dream to work in Bollywood. Hindi feature films fascinated her fami­ly, as it was with many other Iranian families.

“Since the age of two, I have been watching Hindi films, and been in love with them. That’s why I came to India in 2009,” she says.

Maryam acted in Telugu films such as 100% Love and Madatha Kaaja before venturing into Bollywood. She also did an item num­ber for Sadda Adda, but that was after she had completed shooting for Agent Vinod.

“It feels great to see my dream come true.

Eros International Media Ltd (Eros International), a leading global company in the Indian film entertainment industry has announced a successful opening of Rs. 49 crore gross worldwide for Saif Ali Khan’s latest release Agent Vinod. The film has grossed over Rs. 41.5 crore in India (Net collection: Rs. 29 cr) and Rs. 7.65 crore overseas.

The film co-produced in association with Illuminati Films, released across 2500 screens worldwide on 23rd March, 2012.

Speaking on the film’s performance, Nandu Ahuja, Sr. VP, India Theatrical, Eros International Media Ltd said, “With Agent Vinod, Bollywood’s espionage genre comes of age and Shriram Raghavan has once again captured the audiences’ imagination with the edgy fast paced thriller coupled with some never before seen stylish action sequences”.

Pranab Kapadia, President – Marketing & Distribution – Eros International plc added, “Audiences worldwide have appreciated Shriram Raghavan’s spy thriller along with Saif Ali Khan’s slick stylish spy avatar”.

Maryam affirms, "Yes I have an important role in the film. The mujra song which...

All the hype surrounding the upcoming Saif Ali Khan starrer Agent Vinod seems justified after the trailer and first look of the film left audiences and critics very very intrigued. The music of the film has also been doing the rounds and getting good buzz. Leading the way is another Pritam creation – ‘Dil Mera Muft Ka’. The song sees the irrepressible Kareena Kapoor shake those hips to some tantalizing beats along with another eye candy Maryam Zakaria.

Pritam himself is quite proud of this one and has rated it as one of the best songs in the film. “‘Dil Mera Muft Ka’ is in keeping with the theme of the film. Naturally I can’t reveal much but its thriller and that’s for everyone to see. The film has quite a few secrets that will be revealed and the way Kareena is shot clearly tells you that she has some hidden intentions.
