Actor Aamir Khan, who is recovering from an injury, will soon resume shooting for Hindi remake of ‘Ghajini’.

Aamir's blog ride with SRK comes to a halt
Did Aamir Khan with such a long innings in Bollywood think that people will not give out their opinions and the news hungry media will not react in the way they accused Aamir of crossing the limits without any provocation when he told that the dog owned by the caretakers of his house is called Sharukh and how he is feeding him biscuits and that Sharukh is licking his feet.
Aamir, how are we supposed to know whether you said that to give King Khan a hell of a time giving his response to the media or was just a way of having some fun by trying to know how the film industry and the general public will react to such a comment and whether you wrote that infamous blog with a light mind which should not be taken seriously.
So again as everyone around was expecting more juice to flow out of the controversy and a full fledged khan war in Bollywood, the whole hullabaloo have been buried down by the perfectionist himself by saying that Sharukh Khan is a dear friend and that if his comments on Shah Rukh which was put out in pure humour have hurt his fans or King Khan's fans feelings then he apologise for the comments.
Just the other day Amitabh Bachchan responding to the media cry of Big B taking on Badshah of Bollywood through his blog apologized for his remarks on the falling ratings of Shah Rukh's new Television show on Star Plus and explained what he really meant.
Because of Bollywood stars finding a new outlet for their personal viewpoints through blogs, blogging has certainly become more popular.
Apologising is surely a virtue that comes out of a mind with a good attitude and one that does not carry any sort of egos.
But it seems that in the future the B-Town stars who are interested in having their own blogs should be given lessons to vent their thoughts with a clear mindset.

'Gandhi My Father' does the Job in Cannes
All these years Anil Kapoor didn't bother to attend the Cannes Film Festival and when he did visit the most famous film festival this year, there was a purpose behind it.
He was there as a producer of his maiden production venture 'Gandhi My Father' which although can't be termed as a blockbuster or a super hit was well received and was a bold attempt in bringing out the odd relationship of Mahtma Gandhi with his eldest son Harilal Gandhi who always thought that it is his greatest disadvantage being born as Bapu's son.
Anil Kapoor now really can be proud of his decision to follow his mind and make a film about the relatively unknown relationship of Mahatma and his son as the rights for releasing the movie in the U.S. have been bought over by the Lionsgate studio in Hollywood.
The deal was made between Eros International, the company which released the movie in India and Lionsgate studio.
The film directed by the theatre director Feroz Abbas Khan featured Darshan Zariwala as Mahtama Gandhi and Akshaye Khanna as his son Harilal Gandhi.
It was released in India in the year 2007.
The star who is often called as the ultimate survivor in Bollywood might have not expected 'Gandhi My Father' to get Lionsgate studio's attention in Cannes.
But now Anil, as your film is getting ready to face the international audience,
Lot more recognitions and unexpected appreciations can come knocking at your door once it hits the theaters in U.S.

Jannat Music Review
Jannat - An interesting album
rating:3.5/5
Pritam returns to the Bhatt camp after some great hits be it Gangster, Woh Lamhe or Awarapan. Mukesh Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt known for the subject’s explored and great music offered by their films, this time explore the world of cricket.
The Bhatt camp have their good luck charm-Emraan Hashmi taking the lead yet another time and there’s a lot riding on Jannat after the disastrous Awaarapan. Also, When you have a good lyricist such as Sayeed Quadri , you surely can expect quite a bit.
The album opens with the romantically zealous voice ok KK crooning to ‘Zara Se’ a soft rock number with a tint of Indonesian flavor. The track amplifies love and is surely going to be a favourite amongst those who have discovered love lately. The track starts off in a soft and smooth manner with well penned lines such as ‘Zara si dil mein de jagha tu’ and gradually the punch comes in the form of ‘OO OH OO’ lyrically sounding similar to the ‘Kyu Aaj Kal Neend Kam’ track from Woh Lamhe but musically completely different.
The ‘Power Ballad’ version of the track too does well and it isn’t just another remix or so. In fact, it’s an unplugged version of the track that sounds really good.
'Lambi Judai - Chaar Dinon Ka Pyaar O Rabba', the age old number synonymous with Subash Ghai’s ‘Hero’ , gets a complete face lift with Kamran Ahmed’s rendition of these lines. ‘Judai’ comes in as an original composition credited to the lead vocalist of the ’82Rockers’ band. The track highlighting the separation factor between loved ones has Richa Sharma’s voice in the background and is a sure hit number. Kamran impresses with his coarse voice and the lounge version of the track titled ‘Kilogram Mix’ too is sure to make its way to all the bollywood themed parties and clubs.
‘Judai’ also comes in as a female version with Richa Sharma doing the needful of expressing the separation of love bit. But, no doubt Kamran’s freshness of voice is what makes the male version stick to you that Richa’s rendition of the track doesn’t sound all that great.
‘Haan Tu Hain’ begins very much the cliché filmy manner but eventually drifts into the Qawali terrain. KK renders to this track and unlike the previous numbers the track isn’t a driving force for the film .The track is plainly average and the future of it depends on its picturisation and promotional element.
‘Door Na Jaa’ comes in as the king of separation numbers. The hard-rock synthesized instrumented track has been rendered by Rana Mazumdar of the ‘I’m coming home’ fame from Hatrick.The track starts off on a low note and within a minute takes a whole new route in a much higher pitch. The track draws similarity to ‘Alvida’ from Metro but is indeed more melancholic and is simply superb. The lyrics blend well with Rana’s voice to provide another rock song that talks about the alvida(goodbye) factor.
‘Jannat Jahan’ brings in yet another lead vocalist of a band. Rupam Islam of the Bengali rock band Fossils croons to this pulsating track. The lyrics have been penned by Neelesh Mishra and the track exalts greed and the power of money. The electrifying guitar and drums bring in that entire bang but the track still remains more of a background score. It’s not all that hard hitting unlike a couple of other tracks of the album. The track surely blends with the theme of the film.
With tracks like ‘Zara se’ and ‘Judai’ which are already hit numbers weeks prior to the release of the film, tracks like ‘Door Na Jaa’ which is set to become a cult in its category will surely assure that the audiences are at least drawn by the music at the box office.Pritam and Sayeed Quadri combine to provide yet another interesting piece of work which is sure to please the new buyers of the film-Percept Picture Company as well as the masses.
