Makar Sankranti Box Office: How Much Have 15 Films Collected In The Last 10 Years (Picture Credit: IMDb)
Makar Sankranti is the first festival of the year. Festivals go hand in hand with the Box Office collection in Bollywood. However, it is one festival that has not yielded great results – the first festival that falls on January 14. Films that are released on the Makar Sankranti weekend have not performed well in the past few decades.
The last blockbuster that was released on Makar Sankranti was Hrithik Roshan‘s Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, which started the century with a bang. However, the last film to release on January 14 was Yamla Pagla Deewana, which did a fair business at the box office.
Ypd, starring Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol & Dharmendra, collected 7.75 crore on February 14. The film collected 55 crore in its lifetime and 23 crore on the Sankranti weekend. It was a hit at the box office.

October 31st is Halloween, when kids (of all ages) dress up to go trick-or-treating. Then, of course, there are the cool adults getting in on the costume fun to go to Halloween parties. Since we are all Bollywood buffs, okay fanatics, we thought it would be fun to poll our writers to see who they would love to dress up if we had a Bollywood Halloween – Bollyween Ball. Boy oh boy were we flooded with amazing and inventive ideas.
Some of these costumes you could probably put together easily. However, some might need extra help from family, tailors, costume designers, stylists, costume engineers and even Oscar winning makeup artist Greg Canoom (transformed Srk in Fan and Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire)!!
Check out how the excellent team of BollySpice would celebrate Halloween Bolly-ish style.

When Vibhavari (Sugandha Garg), an up-and-coming Bollywood music director, finds herself facing a creative block, she sets off for Punjab to meet and record folk singer Bibi Swaroop (Sadhana Singh). She first meets Bibi’s son, Mastana (Siddhant Behl), a charming and personable local singer himself, who insists that Vibs must listen to him sing and record him. In Mastana and his mother Bibi, Vibs finds the inspiration that has been escaping her. It’s not surprising that Vibs and Mastana grow close – close enough to spend the night together, admittedly encouraged by not only their music, but also by a bottle of Gulabo (the country liquor that also featured inVishal Bhardwaj’s Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola). Mastana is mortified; Vibs sees it as something pure and natural, but, in the end, no big deal.

Imran Khan has told his close friends he was short-changed by his leading ladies when he was down and out. According to the forever-forthright actor, after his three back-to-back flops in 2012-13 no leading lady was willing to work with him in Katti Batti. While director Nikhil Advani wouldn't comment on the matter a source close to the project spilled the beans. "It is true. Nikhil approached several of the top actresses including Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone. They all said no to Imran, but yes to the film. They all wanted Nikhil to replace Imran Khan which he refused to do." Kangna Ranaut apparently loved her role and had no problems with Imran Khan as a co-star. This explains that look of warm appreciation on Imran's face every time he looks at his Rs. 11-crore worth co-star. (Apparently that's the fee she is demanding, though not getting...

Katti Batti trailer is out, and While Kangana Ranaut plays a very bold and gregarious character, Imran Khan yet again will be seen essaying a meek and geek, who is ruled over by his ladylove.

We bring you 6 such flicks where Imran was nothing compared to the women in his films. Take a look...

As reflections of Indian cinema in 2014 do their rounds, there are some very common conclusions everyone has come to that are undeniable. And that it was not the greatest year for actors but quite a year full of feats for our ladies. Indian cinema has come a long way in terms of credible roles and films for our leading ladies. Whilst we are still flooded with the kind of cinema that provide the leading actress with nothing more than a page of dialogues (if that) and 4 songs, we do get the occasional Sridevi in English Vinglish or a Vidya Balan in Kahaani. 2014 gave us more of these rare moments than we bargained for. No doubt we are still hungry for more from our ladies, however we choose to not stop and lament about what we lack but instead reflect on the brilliant year the ladies of Indian cinema have had.

It was in January last year when Anushka Sharma was last seen on the big screen. The film was Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola which saw largely mixed reviews from audience as well as critics, and didn't quite enjoy a long run for itself. For Anushka Sharma, who was riding high on the success of Jab Tak Hai Jaan, a lukewarm response to her Vishal Bhardwaj film was disappointing to say the least. Read More...

It is not unusual to have a Bollywood film inspired by a book.
A few examples are 3 Idiots, which was adapted from Chetan Bhagat’s Five Point Someone, 7 Khoon Maaf, by Ruskin Bond’s short story Susanne’s Seven Husbands and Lootera by O. Henry’s The Last Leaf and the upcoming 2 States which again is based on Bhagat book.
It is still not unusual for Bollywood to transform stage productions onto the silver screen – for instance the many Shakespeare adaptations such as Omkara, Ram Leela and Maqbool.
However, there is now a Bollywood film that is to be adapted into a theatrical production.
Vishal Bhardwaj, who is famously inspired by Shakespearian tragedies, has been approached by Paris’ Chatelet Theatre to transform the 2013 film Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola on stage.

Over the years the definition of a Hindi Film Actor has changed over and over again. Sometimes he was demanded to be tall, dark and handsome that would sweep the heroine of her feet, at other times he was strong and silent, while at other times he was bold and wild. In the 21st century, the definition of the Hindi film actor is now boundless. You can’t put him in a box nor can you have a checklist of his qualities. This evolution of the definition couldn’t have been better depicted in any other way then in the Bollyspice Best Actors countdown for 2013. The honored named are versatile and have exceeded in an array of roles. While some triumphed in comedy and action lead roles, others stole the scene in supporting role.

10. Chitrangada Singh (I, Me Aur Main)
Beginning her career as a model in Delhi, Chitrangada Singh made her debut on the Bollywood screen with Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi (2005). Her performance as Geeta Rao, firstly a student caught up against volatile political and social issues in India and then a woman who chooses to be with the man she loves, rather than her husband, had won her critical acclaim.
The year 2013 saw Chitrangada as Anushka Lal opposite John Abraham in I, Me Aur Main (Dir. Kapil Sharma). Playing the role of a girlfriend who is frustrated at her boyfriend Ishaan for the lack of responsibilities and maturity he shows, Chitrangada gauged the conflicting emotions gracefully. She emotively portrayed the fine balance between assertiveness and her broken feelings.

Some of the best movies this year could not have done well without certain characters who highlighted the film with their amazing performances and there have also been films which we were happy to ignore completely had it not been for that one performer. These are the scene stealer or actors whose careers the industry had written off but have taken a second birth with their 2013 release. In short, they are performers who have achieved a different mark with their distinctive roles in 2013. We have a list of the stars who broke barriers and made us go Wow!!

Mumbai, Dec 31: Call it the coming of age of Bollywood. But in 2013, more mainstream actors did lip-locks than in any recent year.
Here's saluting the 10 best kisses of the year:
1. Imran Khan-Anushka Sharma in "Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola": This may have been the year of disasters for Imran Khan. But there was silver lining. It was also the year when Imran got to kiss the feisty Anushka Sharma... with wife Avantika's kind permission. And it was a pretty torrid kiss. Curiously Imran has an unwritten no-kiss clause in his contract, which he broke for a film that was a box office dud. Moral of the story - exercise your.

Bollywood stars Parineeti Chopra and Varun Dhawan as the brand ambassadors of WeChat, a mobile social communication application, kicked off its latest marketing campaign at an event in Mumbai. In between singing, mock jokes, ribbing each other and posing for shutterbugs with their WeChat pillow merchandise, the actors spoke about their association with the brands and their favorite features of the app.

As for her partner in crime Imran, well he looked quite dapper as well in his grey suit and purple striped tie. Loving that he’s ditching the clean-shaven look these days. This works for me more.

Tom Hooper's adaptation of hit stage show surpasses debut landmark set by Mamma Mia! to put Life of Pi in the shade
The winner
Given the huge popularity of the long-running London stage show, commercial expectations were always high for the film adaptation of Les Misérables. But a UK opening of £8.13m is certainly at the top end of the range of industry forecasts. The previous best debut for a movie musical stood at £6.59m – for Mamma Mia! – but that tally included previews of £1.38m; over the comparative Friday-Sunday period it earned just £5.21m. Les Misérables is an impressive 56% ahead of Mamma Mia! pace. Backers Universal also announced the film as the biggest opening for a January release, beating 2005's Meet the Fockers. The King's Speech, Les Misérables director Tom Hooper's previous film, debuted exactly two years ago with £3.52m (including £227,000 in previews).
