How the 'Heartless' girl Ariana Ayam was discovered by Shekhar Suman

Its totally Filmy - Ariyana Ayam’s, behind the scene story

Shekhar Suman was looking for a fresh face who would still be able to hold her own against stalwarts like Deepti Naval and Om Puri, in a role that required as much performance as glamour.


Its’ not just marriages, if Bollywood is to be believed then ‘heaven’ even has its’ own casting agents, making casting calls for movies to be shot on Earth. How else would one explain the chosen few, who never stand in a single audition line, yet get ‘discovered’ purely by chance and launched in films, that go on to make them stars?


Interesting films often have equally filmy, behind the scene stories. Case in point the casting of, Ariana Ayam who stars opposite Adhyayan Suman in Shekhar Suman’s directorial venture ‘Heartless’. While hundreds of girls were auditioned for this role that requires a strong female protagonist, the one to bag it was a graphic designer from New York, who did not even know that the film’s casting was underway.

Dhoom:3 Film Review

Dhoom:3                              Rating: ***

A treat to watch Aamir Khan performing unbelievable stunts and his superb Tap Dance. 

Director Vijay Krishna Acharya who has penned the story, screenplay for this film as well as the earlier two versions has gone somewhat overboard in some action scenes and other emotional sequences in the second half. 

It is the story of a boy who sees his magician father take his life because the Bank who had loaned money wanted to take possession of the assets of The Great Indian Circus. Sahir witnessed his dad shoot himself, and after 25 years, Sahir takes revenge by robbing the bank’s branches on several occasions, and then shower the bank’s hard cash from the terrace on the roads.

Vidyut's impressive stunts in Bullet Raja


After being highly appreciated in Commando and Force, actor Vidyut Jamwal, made a special appearance in the recently released film, Bullet Raja.

The actor agreed to do the cameo only for the action sequences and for his equation with the director Tigmanshu Dhulia.

Even though it was a guest role in the film, trade analysts as well as audiences felt that his performance was highly impactful and strong.

Since it was a cameo, Vidyut had very limited screen time and in that much time, the action hero of the industry managed to grab the attention of the audiences in a great way.

Bullet Raja - Bollywood Film Review

Rating: **

Raja Mishra (Saif Ali Khan) is a Brahmin boy in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh looking for a job but gets involved with goons, and when he is chased, Raja sees a wedding procession and joins it. 

It is the local strongman's daughter's wedding and the procession is headed towards the strongman’s haveli, where Raja instantly befriends the bride's cousin, Rudra Tripathi (Jimmy Shergill). Within hours, Rudra and Raja become best of friends, and Raja becomes a part of rest of the functions and events of this Lucknowi wedding.

Tigmanshu Dhulia’s Bullet Raja has unrealistic gunfights, goons openly ruling the city, depicting incompetence of police force and a mishmash of love, politics and the underworld. It is a below average film.
