Shahid, Kareena patched up?

Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had hugged and patched up, even Kareena ended her cold war with Aishwarya - it all happened at Karan Johar’s birthday party last year. And Karan is now taking his gift of playing Bollywood peacemaker to the next level.

Last week he played the catalyst, making Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor not only acknowledge each other’s presence but actually strike up a conversation, and a pretty warm one at that.

The venue for this patch up was Shah Rukh Khan’s bungalow, Mannat, where King Khan had hosted a celebration for My Name Is Khan.

Says a source, “Shahid and Kareena came face to face and everyone thought they would simply ignore each other like they have on so many occasions in the past. But this time, Karan happened to be present right there and instead of marching past each other, they slowed down for a bit. And the rest, as they say, is history.”

Even after the ice was broken, neither Shahid or Kareena seemed in a rush to get back to more comfortable company. They had a pretty warm exchange and a little later even Saif, who was present at the party, joined them.

“Shahid and Kareena have finally decided to leave their acrimonious past behind them. This was very evident in the manner all three of them - Shahid, Kareena and Saif - interacted with each other at Shah Rukh’s party,” adds our source.

While both Shahid and Kareena could not be reached for comment, Kareena’s official spokesperson said, “Kareena has no problem with anybody, including Shahid.” For the record, Shahid and Kareena, who were in a serious relationship for three years, parted ways in 2007, a few days before Imtiaz Ali’s Jab We Met hit the theatres.

Main aur Mrs Khanna: Movie Review

Director: Prem R Soni
Cast: Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Sohail Khan
Rating: **

Main aur Mrs Khanna... aksar yeh baatein karte hai... ke agar Mr Khanna hote to aisa hota... Mr Khanna hote to vaisa hota
That precisely sums up the story of this film in short.

Samir Khanna (Salman Khan) has lost riches and respect in Melbourne city after being accountable for a big beating in the business world. Without a job, his ego is hurt when wife Raina (Kareena Kapoor) becomes the sole breadwinner of the family. He decides to shift to Singapore and strangely doesn't want to take along his beloved wife.

Samir asks Raina to migrate to India but she stays back in Melbourne and finds a job at the airport terminal. There she befriends Akash (Sohail Khan) and together they only end up talking about Mr Khanna.

Raina who has been working for months in Melbourne is suddenly questioned on her job permit. Does the film intend to say that women with their husbands away aren't allowed to work in Australia? Such inanity is only induced so that Raina and Akash are forced to pose as couple to save her job.

Predictably Akash falls for Raina and by the time he decides to propose, Mr Khanna is back. Expectedly a love triangle is set with Akash trying to win Raina by outshining Samir and the one-upmanship reminds of Salman-Akshay's Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. Of course you know who wins the girl and the loser is given a consolation prize through the decade-old done-to-death starlet special appearance in the last scene.

The film desperately struggles between being a comedy and a sensitive emotional drama but miserably fails on scoring in either genre. The character conflicts seem too insignificant which make you indifferent towards the resulting drama. The narrative lacks depth and ends up being a conventional love story. Prem R Soni tries too hard to add a shade of sensitivity in his direction but loses the grip as his writing is too fragile. The pacing is slow but thankfully the length is short.

Sudeep Chatterjee's cinematography fails to capture the beauty of Australia as the setting just doesn't move beyond the Melbourne airport. Sajid-Wajid's music is easy on the ears. Of the redeeming moments is the one when Sohail invites Kareena for an impromptu jig on the yesteryear soft number Bade Achche Lagte Hai.

Of the cast, Salman Khan looks dull and disinterested and his biting-words dialogue-delivery disappoints even more. Kareena Kapoor is regular and should clearly avoid doing drunken scenes where she overacts outrageously. Sohail Khan attempts hard to infuse life in this dead-drama with his buffoonery but fails to impress.

Preity Zinta's item number evidently modeled on the lines of Kajra Re is certainly not happening. She looks too old to play a seductress. Yash Tonk makes up for a cheaper version of Rajpal Yadav. And for god's sake, is Bappi Lahiri following Himesh Reshammiya to be a fulltime actor? Every time he speaks a frog croaks in the background score. Meanwhile what were Dino Morea, Nauheed Cyrusi and Mahek Chahel doing in the film?

You can conveniently say alvida to Main Aurr Mrs Khanna.

Salman Khan gifts Kareena Kapoor a bag worth Rs.250,000

Bollywood star Salman Khan went out of his way and gifted a branded bag worth Rs.250,000 to his Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna co-star Kareena Kapoor. Kareena and Salman went shopping together in Australia while they were shooting for the film and the young actress fell for a Dolce and Gabbana handbag. "Kareena would usually land up shopping in the evenings after the shoot in Australia. She would go alone. But on one occasion, Salman accompanied her too," said a unit source. "She instantly liked a Dolce and Gabbana bag, stepped in and bought it. When she was about to pay the storekeeper refused to take the money saying it had already been paid for. Kareena stood zapped and wondered who could be that generous soul. It was only later that she got to know that it was Salman who had paid," the source added. The two actors plays main leads in Prem Soni's directorial debut Main Aurr Mrs.Khanna. Sohail Khan, who has co-produced the movie with UTV SpotBoy Pictures, is also starring in it. The film is scheduled for release October 16.

That’s why Saif’s character in the film is all the more frightening. Kareena Kapoor plays his wife. The movie also stars Vivek Oberoi as a moderate Muslim. Supporting roles are played by Dia Mirza, Sunil Shetty, Om Puri and Kiron Kher.

Kareena Kapoor will spend her birthday acting with Aamir Khan.

"I'll be shooting with my favourite actor!" the hottie said, when asked what her birthday plans were. She and Aamir are working on Rajkumar Hirani's Three Idiots, for which shooting is on in Ladakh.So will she also be spending some quality time with boyfriend Saif as well? She preferred not to say."My personal life is personal," she said.

So did she get irritated by people who constantly asked her about her love life - the most followed relationship in india? "I am not irritated. But the media keeps hovering around us and keep taking pictures wherever we go."

Her last film Tashan, with Saif and Akshay, was a dud, but she sees better things happening to her next release, the animated Yash Raj flick Roadside Romeo. Saif has also lent his voice to the movie.

Jugal Hansraj is the director of the movie.

Kareena Kapoor to Hollywood

Kareena Kapoor (TOI photo) More Pics

This, it looks like, will be the big year of Kareena Kapoor.

In her new avatar with size zero adding considerable oomph value to her drop-dead gorgeous looks, the actress is making heads turn internationally.

Last week at Universal Studio in LA, where she is shooting with Akshay Kumar for Sajid Nadiadwala’s Kambakkht Ishq, Kareena caught Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone’s attention.

The Rocky and Rambo actor, who has a bit part in the film, was taken in by her beauty and apparently has not stopped talking about the Indian actress.

Hollywood agents, quick to follow Stallone’s cue, began dropping in on Nadiadwala’s sets to check out Kareena and have been making inquires about her. Sources say the Bollywood hottie has had a few hush-hush meetings with some top Hollywood executives and is likely to be making a big career announcement soon.

When BT asked Kareena about this, she replied non-commitally, “It’s the right time for Bollywood with so many avenues and doors opening up on a global scale. The possibilities are immense. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed.”

But it’s not only through Kambakkth Ishq that the actress has gone global. She recently did the cover of an international magazine for which she was styled by Nicole Kidman’s stylist Desiree and shot by famous fashion photographer Trevor Leighton. Besides, international R&B and pop icon Sean Kingston has also mentioned her as Bollywood’s numero uno in the remake of his chartbuster Beautiful Girls, now named Bollywood Girls.
