If you've seen the promos for "Desi Boyz," then you know exactly what to expect: eye candy and comedy with a desi heart. On that and on plot, the face-paced film certainly delivers right up until the climax begins to unravel.
One of the wonderful things about Bollywood actors is that they're — for the most part — incredibly prolific compared to American actors. Even big stars, who get more selective and often slow down after the height of their careers, are quick to put out films by American standards.
Amid a storm of media hype, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan gave birth in a Mumbai suburb Wednesday morning (late Tuesday in the U.S.) to a girl.
Last Tuesday, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan turned 38. Older than the average Bollywood heroine, Rai has managed to prove she's still widely popular and capable of driving plenty of hype.
Despite many negative reviews and generating some controversies, "Ra.One" is doing very well at the box office, breaking Bollywood records according to many. Despite the film's reviews, many agree that — for better or worse — it is breaking new ground.
Entrance and exit ramps at Newberry Road and Interstate 75 will be closed for roadwork alternately overnight through Sunday, according to a UF news release.
"Ra.One" delivers on its promise of awesome visual effects and its heart - or should I say H.A.R.T. — values. In some other aspects, it falls a little short of expectations. "Ra.One" has been the most hyped Bollywood film of the year — maybe of all time. I'm not convinced it could ever have lived up to the hype, but it comes close in probably its highest goals and falls just a little short in others.

If you want a 100-rupees-crore ($20-million-dollar) hit in Bollywood, don't worry about your leading man — just put Kareena Kapoor in your film. And if you're looking to add edge and sizzle, look no further than Katrina Kaif.
With two and a half weeks to go until its release, the upcoming superhero film "Ra.One" is surrounded by super-hype. This week, the promotional machine of "Ra.One" included a launch of a special-edition "Ra.One" deodorant. Yes, deodorant.
Friday's release of the soundtrack to the upcoming film "Rockstar" marked a moment of excitement in the Bollywood world. Many critics have roundly praised the album, certainly heralding it as one of the best soundtracks of the 2011 season. While using it as my "get homework done" soundtrack this weekend, I thought I'd dedicate a little time to the music of Bollywood, part of India's most popular type of music (filmi music - music from films — accounts for 72 percent of music sales in India, according to BBC).
As you probably know or can guess, foreign films face an uphill battle in the United States, and being a fan of foreign films — especially Indian films — is sometimes difficult. Sometimes it can be virtually impossible to have access to the new releases you've been anticipating for months at a time.
When you think of Bollywood, chances are Akon isn't your first thought.
If you're anything like I was before Bollywood stole my heart, just the thought of reading subtitles makes you groan. Foreign film? Bleh. Why bother with Bollywood — or any other film industry — when you have Hollywood at your disposal?
Despite a quiet mood and the soothing voice of hypnotherapists Saturday, Gainesville residents were not getting sleepy...very sleepy.
This is in response to Monday’s editorial about the Environmental Protection Agency and nutrient limits for Florida’s rivers and lakes. In case you didn’t know, FDEP (the Florida Department of Environmental Protection) has passed down this year nutrient limits for nitrogen and phosphorus present in Florida waterways like the St. Johns River.
Reading the editorial about Gardasil now being required for female immigrants completely blew my mind. I don't understand how the government can do this and even begin to think it's acceptable.
