Rosamund Pike is back in What We Did On Our Holiday

What we did on our Holiday? – Quirky Funny Family Comedy

What we did on our Holiday – coming this June becomes the much-awaited movie from the west.

The Gone Girl is back – The Rosamund Pike after the serious avatar plays something not at all serious. A light hearted a warm family movie along with David Tennant and Billy Connolly; it just gets better and better with chirpy kids.

From the creators who created famous BBC comic Series Outnumbered are back from their Holiday to offer us “What we did on our Holiday”. The trailer begins with Alex Heffes catchy tone who is the music director of this film. A small little cool girl holding the steering as the man on the steering seat has fallen asleep and next you hear is “Oh Jesus!!!” bringing in the chirpiness. Beautiful Scottish landscapes make this a visual treat. Back home kids are shown pulling leg on the word short-seller emphasizing at the right notes bringing a big smile on your face.

Though this family has turbulences yet handling them comically comes across very lightly making it a cool family film. The trailer doesn’t reveal much as trailers aren’t suppose to reveal much. They should generate more appetite for the movie to fulfill that and this one rightly does that.

 

Coming from the first time directors Andy Hamilton & Guy Jenkin on the big screen, doesn’t make them any small to live up the expectations. Their story about a family on vacation has fun rides with kids innocently revealing secrets and intimate details about their parents. The goal of keeping a secret hence reaches the roadblock making this a great family laugh riot.

June 5^th, 2015 is the release date when you would experience their holiday; for now, enjoy the trailer on the link below and stay tuned for more.

Big Game – Movie review

The President has one small chance of survival

Rating: ***

Fate of the most powerful man in the world lies in the hands of a 13-year-old boy Oskari, a timid young lad yearning to prove his capability to the village elders.

BIG GAME is about the young Oskari’s determination to prove to his Village folk that he has grown up, that he is a ‘man’ and can fend for himself in the wilderness of the forest.

In the village in Finland, the tradition dictates that like his forefathers before him, the boy’s time has come to spend one day and one night alone in the wilderness. Armed with only a bow and arrow, he must return with a prize to prove himself a man.

Aishwarye Choubey launches Kabhi Kabhi Video album & Beauty Calendar

Meet Salman Khan's latest die-hard fan Aishwarye Choubey

One look at Aishwarye Choubey and one can't help but notice the striking resemblance the girl bears to Salman Khan's former flame Aishwarye Rai. The same light eyes, enchanting smile, straight nose and every other facial feature reminds one immediately of the former Miss World. But apart from looking eerily similar to Aishwarye Rai, Miss Choubey also shares one great fascination. She wants to be near Salman for she adores the superstar more than anybody else in this world.

Hailing from North, Aishwarye first landed in Mumbai during the shoot of Ek Tha Tiger and was only able to catch a slight glimpse of Salman. Disappointed she went back but is back now with renewed vigour and is eager to chase her dream in meeting Salman.

Aishwarye is also a brilliant sketch artist and has sketched many portraits including some of Salman. Says Aishwarye, "I have got into acting now hoping I will get to meet Salman. I am not really interested in acting. I just want to meet Salman."

Ask her what she will do when she meets Salman, Aishwarye says, "I will adore him and would want to be next to him at all times."

The girl will reportedly soon be seen making her debut in Akira.

Dil Dhadakne Do team had no network on the cruise

The Dil Dhadakne Do team was set a sail on a cruise to shoot the film. 

The film was shot across the Mediterranean and they were extensively travelling on the cruise for 5 weeks.

The team of the film bonded on the cruise and even spent time together when they were not shooting.

In fact, while the ship was sailing there was no network connectivity and only once it would anchor at any port would they get connectivity.

So they all spent even more time together as they did not have their phones to go back to.

Even in between breaks and after pack up they would be seen spending time together.

The entire team would be constantly playing games and engaged in some discussion.

The team of Dil Dhadakne Do had a lot of fun together and this camaraderie is visible on screen.

There is great on screen chemistry visible between all the actors.

Farhan Akhtar turns journalist for Dil Dhadakne Do ​

Rock On star turns a scribe

We have seen Farhan Akhtar play different roles as an actor in the past; a rock star in Rock on!, an ​athlete in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.

However, for the first time we will see the actor playing the role of a journalist in his upcoming next film Dil Dhadakne Do.

In his real life Farhan has encountered a lot of journalists and interacted with them over the years so he understood the character well and could play it with conviction.

He plays a journalist for an international media house.

Farhan found it very interesting to play the character that ​he ​knows​  so well by now.

Moreover, in real life too Farhan is a writer and so this character was an extension of his personality only.

Spokesperson of the film confirms and shares, "Farhan will be seen essaying the role of the journalist in the film. A journalist who is on a vacation. It is an interesting role and his character is very well etched."
