Ranbir Kapoor stops short of admitting love for Katrina Kaif

“Katrina Kaif is very special to me,” says Ranbir but doesn’t admit love

What with all the images of their Spanish holiday, the love affair between Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif only needs a word of confirmation from either of the two stars. But that confirmation isn’t coming by. If earlier Ranbir Kapoor quite chivalrously admitted that he can give his life for Katrina Kaif, he’s now once again stopped short of admitting his love for the beautiful actress by saying that she’s “very special” to him. “There is so much being said about my personal life. I don't want my life to become a reality show. Yes, Katrina is a very special part of my life,” Ranbir said. Elaborating on why he doesn’t want to talk about his personal life, he said, “When I was in a relationship earlier I spoke about it freely, so the spotlight went away from my work. All I want to say is I don't want my life to be a reality show. I have decided to take it this way.” It’s true that when Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were going around they opened up about their relationship in a magazine interview. Ranbir is going to turn 31 on September 28. He says he hates celebrating birthdays and will shoot for a movie this year. “I hate celebrating my birthday. I feel there is so much of pressure that if it is your birthday so it has to be special. I go for dinner with my parents and friends come home, next day I am on film set. This year I am on a film set so probably I will cut the cake with media people,” Ranbir said. Just four days after his birthday, Ranbir’s next film Besharam will hit theatres. from apun ka choice.

RANVEER AND DEEPIKA'S BREWING ROMANCE! This was the first time when this alleged romantic pair came in front of the media for the trailer launch of Ram Leela. After seeing the trailer there was no doubt that Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone make a terrific pair on screen, and the romantic vibes between the two hot stars didn’t go unnoticed.  The otherwise tongue-in-cheek Ranveer Singh was spotted acting all courteous in front of his co-actress Deepika on stage, while Deeps surely looked beautiful blushing throughout the event. When the media persons asked the actress with whom her chemistry is best: Ranveer Singh or Ranbir Kapoor, the actress was taken aback for a while and in a diplomatic way said that it’s the audience who decides. Listening to this, Ranveer quietly said on the mike, “Mere saath better hai”. Gujarati belle Deepika Padukone and village Romeo Ranveer Singh in 'Ram Leela' Ranveer too couldn’t avoid the questions on his Dubai stopover to meet Deepika Padukone. When the journos asked him about his secret trip, Deepika started looking at Ranveer, while the actor kept mum. Ranveer was in a tight spot and couldn’t find a better answer. He only said that the jacket he is wearing for the event is from Dubai. Ranveer Singh even declared that his moustache, which he grew for Ram Leela, will get shaved by Deepika. “I took a lot of effort to grow and maintain it. I would oil it every night... and now Deepika will shave it off one of these days,” he said. The couple also indulged in casual banter and even PDA at the event. Check out the brewing romance between Ranveer and Deepika: by apun ka choice.

Indra Kumar’s unapologetic, over-the-top sex comedy Grand Masti is romping to glory at the box office. The film has become the fourth highest opener of the year 2013. Though panned by many critics for its sexist double-entendres and bawdy humour, the film starring Vivek Oberoi, Aftab Shivdasani, Riteish Deshmukh and a host of actresses, opened to a terrific audience response of 65 percent to 70 percent at ticket windows on Friday. The film fared exceptionally well in Rajasthan. The first day collection of Grand Masti stands at a whopping Rs. 12.5 crore net, which is the fourth highest of the year 2013 after Chennai Express, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Race 2. The writing is on the wall. Though the film may have offended some critics, it’s being lapped up by the audiences. If the Friday’s footfalls are bettered on Saturday and Sunday, expect to see the opening weekend figures of Grand Masti in the range of Rs. 35 crore to Rs. 40 crore net, if not more. from apun ka choice.

Movie Review: 'Horror Story' packs in some good scares!

'Horror Story' is worth a watch for the fans of the genre

The ApunKaChoice movie review of Horror Story. While Vikram Bhatt’s latest presentation Horror Story is sure as hell not a spookfest to give anyone wet pants, the film does pack a few good hair-raising scares. For one, the film hinges on an interesting premise. Seven friends are on a night-out for a farewell party for one of them who’s headed abroad. As they wet their whistle, they hear the news of a suicide at Hotel Grandiose, the abandoned, haunted, mysterious hotel none dare enter. The friends decide to visit the hotel to find out the truth. What they find out rather is their worst nightmare coming true. Once the friends enter the hotel, the doors shut behind them. The lights go off. The phone network goes down. They gun on their torches, and what they witness is shifting shadows, a moving wheelchair, a record that plays on its own, a haunting nursery rhyme ‘Ringa Ring o Roses’ reverberates though the dark corridors and musty halls, and then -- devil be invoked -- the ghost makes its appearance. Trapped inside the hotel with no way out, the friends are pitted against an unseen, untamed evil force out to kill them one by one, but not before scaring the living daylights out of them, and the dear viewer as well. Interesting? Indeed it is. And director Ayush Raina -- with Vikram Bhatt’s shadow looming over him -- does get a lot right. The screenplay is taut and never goes off onto tangents like songs, or romantic tracks or steamy shower scenes. The ambience is craftily built and anticipation cleverly spurred. Only one wishes the actors had stood up to the task. Just to roll the credits here, the film has a host of newbies. Leading the brat pack is television actor Karan Kundra. The newcomers include Ravish Desai, Hasan Zaidi,Nishant Malkani, Sheetal Singh, Aparna Bajpai, Radhika Menon and Nandini Vaid. Of them all, Karan Kundra (playing Neil), Radhika Menon (playing Neena) and Nishant Malkani (playing Achint) come good. The rest just about pass muster. A good soundtrack and background score can go a long way in giving the audience the heebie-jeebies in a horror movie. In Horror Story, there are a few deft touches here and there, but mostly it’s the ear-splitting shriek after stony silence that causes you to splatter your cola. Horror Story is not without clichés and tropes of its genre and one can’t fathom why a ghost would wreak hell on innocent youngsters out on a harmless adventure. A wishy-washy back story of a mental asylum is proffered. The climax charts a predictable course. In short,Horror Story isn’t really our answer to The Conjuring but it does pack in a few potent scares.from apun ka choice. Rating: **1/2
