TNA wrestlers Kurt Angle & Mick Foley visit India, shocked by their popularity

They may look like mean fighting machines with their sinister moves in the ring, but spend five minutes with Mick Foley, Kurt Angle and Jay Lethal and you’ll discover that one thing that they haven’t broken in all their years in wrestling is their funny bone.

On a whirlwind trip of India to find new Indian talent for TNA, the three American wrestlers have been mobbed wherever they went and in Kurt Angle’s words, “ have been amazed with their popularity on the other side of the globe.” This is the first time for all of them in India, but Jay Lethal, who is the youngest among them, is proud of the fact that he is no new- bee to Indian culture. Imitating Shah Rukh Khan’s moves on the train in Chhaiyya Chhaiyya , he explains, “ My best friend Ratish is Indian and we practically grew up together.” Though he hasn’t seen any Bollywood movies, he is pretty sure from all the trailers he’s gazed at, Salman Khan is the ‘ coolest’ hero.

“Bollywood movies are like those big American musicals, probably 10 times more,” says Lethal. He is currently doing a Hollywood spoof on horror movies, which has a “ Bollywood- style dance number” Mick Foley, who has now retired from professional wrestling, joins Lethal in the banter about Bollywood.

Foley, who was the first ever WWF Hardcore Champion and also a three- time WWF Champion, shows that it is good humour and ability to connect with the audience that is the most essential component of being a TNA wrestler.

Kurt Angle, who has an Olympic gold in his kitty — he won it in 1996 at Atlanta in heavyweight freestyle wrestling — says, “ When you are participating in something like the Olympics, you are something of a robot. You don’t need to connect with the audience, whereas in something like the TNA it is the reaction, either loud cheers or boos that you manage to extract from the audience that define how successful you are.” When quizzed about The Great Khali, it is apparent that the three know of the fan following he commands but said they are not looking, “ for another Khali.” “ We are looking for a strong and fit wrestler, and not someone with such a huge built. It is important that he should be bilingual so that he can communicate with the American audience,” says Angle.

Sarita Mandanna Debut Novel Tiger Hills Impress All

For someone who became “ asocial and a little odd” during the five years she took to write her first novel, Torontobased finance whiz Sarita Mandanna was in full flow at the launch of her debut book Tiger Hills (Penguin India) at The Love Hotel, MGF Mall Saket, on Monday evening.

Flitting between nieces, cousins, authors, publishers and journalists, she didn’t exactly come across as someone who had forgotten the art of making small talk while balancing her job as vice- president of a private equity firm in New York, a long- distance marriage with hubby Siddharth in Toronto, and revising the manuscript that got Penguin India to pay her the highest advance ever to a debutante.

It helped that the evening was perfect for an open- air party: The mercury had come crashing down, the humidity was as bearable as it gets, and the breeze came as a pleasant surprise. But the one person missing from both the party and Penguin altogether was he who discovered the novelist in Mandanna — controversial former Penguin Canada CEO David Davidar.

“ He’ll weather the storm,” said Mandanna of her mentor, who was sacked from Penguin last month over charges of sexual harassment. Mandanna had first shown Davidar a collection of short stories on a visit to Toronto. “ He told me I should write a novel instead,” the writer remembered. Heeding to Davidar’s advice helped:

Tiger Hills , a sweeping saga set in Coorg, is being spoken of in the same breath as Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things . Like Davidar, who is strongly rooted to his family home in Wellington, Tamil Nadu, Mandanna, an army colonel’s daughter who has scaled Mt Kilimanjaro, has a strong connection to Coorg, which is evident from her descriptions of its beauty in her novel. “ I wanted to create a classical structure set in Coorg — very plot- driven, populated with defined characters and a long narrative arc,” said Mandanna of the book.

Outgoing Penguin India CEO Mike Bryan, who is due to take over Davidar’s job in Canada in August, is betting big on Tiger Hills . “ It is going to be a commercial success,” said Bryan. “ I loved the book. It is one which I should have written,” said author Jaishree Misra, who was in conversation with Mandanna at the launch. The novel is, as Penguin publishing and rights director Diya Kar Hazra points out, the return of good old- fashioned storytelling.

Mandanna is being represented by David Godwin, the literary superagent who was behind the phenomenal success of Arundhati Roy and Kiran Desai. Will Mandanna go on to win a Booker, like Roy and Desai? Misra said the Booker jury looks for another kind of writing. “ Usually, it likes simplicity in writing.

Of course, she made it a point to add, “ This is not just one of the best debut novels I have read, but one of the best novels.” Mandanna, on her part, is unfazed. “ The only bar I set myself is that I want to do something I am proud of,” she said. Booker or no Booker, there will be enough parties to raise a toast to Tiger Hills .

Tere Bin Laden Box Office Report : Big Hit of 2010

Even the promos of Tere Bin Laden must have made you laugh of fake Osama Bin Laden. Not many would have expected this low budget flick to rake in Rs 50 crore in its opening weekend.

Yes, it has grossed Rs 50 crore in its opening weekend and has internationally as well as it grossed $150,000 from Britain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Australia and keep in mind that it has not yet released in US.

It's a little amateurish, and that takes away a few points from Tere Bin Laden . To be fair, a satire attempt is a big deal for a newcomer director. So, kudos to Abhishek Sharma for trying.

Tere Bin Laden is story of a Pakistani reporter, Ali Hassan (Ali Zafar), who wants to migrate to the US. But his visa request always gets rejected. Ali hits upon a weird idea to realise his dream one day when he comes across a timid poultry owner, Noora (Pradhuman Singh), who looks like Osama bin Laden.

Ali decides to produce a fake video with Noora posing as Osama, and sell it to a TV channel in India. The video gets made and Ali bags some quick cash by selling it to the channel, too.

The film was released on 344 screens in India and has a out of the box comedy which makes it work it so well.

All the Actors supported the idea well, specially Pradhuman Singh which is the USP of the film.

If you haven't seen the film yet and planning to let it go, you are surely missing a must watch.

Frieda Pinto Bold Scenes in You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger & Immortals

Frieda Pinto’s hot look in Woody Allen’s "You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger" has already made waves. And now, the first trailer of her new film Miral will certainly hit the headlines as well. The movie has some steamy kissing scenes involving Freida.

The Slumdog Millionaire star may have played the role of a simple girl Latika in Danny Boyle’s Oscar - winning film, but the actress seems to be going all out with her sultry image now.

For those who came in late, Freida reportedly will be doing some sex scenes in the drama Immortals , which is based on the Greek mythology and directed by Tarsem Singh. A few days ago, Tarsem had stated in a video blog: “ It’s the first time we have Freida Pinto and guess what, it’s a sex scene.” Immortals — a combination of fantasy, action and drama — will also star Mickey Rourke and Henry Cavill.

Coming back to the new trailer of Julian Schnabel’s Miral , also starring Hollywood veteran Willem Dafoe, Freida’s role seems to be a tough one. The French director’s movie is about a group of orphans in Jerusalem, Palestine.

Miral , played by Freida, is sent to the orphanage at the age of seven after her mother’s death.

Playing a student, she grows up at the institute and only at the age of 17 leaves the place to face the harsh reality of the outside world, beyond the protecting walls of the orphanage. The trailer focuses entirely on Freida with her character shown in the harsh terrain as she is treated badly by the people around her.

The film also stars Hiam Abbass, Vanessa Redgrave, Alexander Siddig and Makram Khoury.

Miral is an adaptation of the Italo - Palestinian Rula Jebreal’s book about a real - life Palestinian woman, Hind Husseini, who started the Dar Al - Tifl orphanage camp in Jerusalem in the wake of the 1948 partition of Palestine and the Israeli occupation.

We shall all stay together. Take us to only one prison wherever it is,” they reportedly told the Maharashtra police.”We have been informally told by the police that they will continue our detention in the Dharmabad ITI itself.

Now it is the decision of the people of Andhra to support the Bandh or not as first we shall find out whether this bandh is for the benefit of the state or the benefit of the party.

Now Mickey Mouse is showcased nude, invites outrage in Poland

Champions of freedom of expression are forever dogged by doubts over where to draw the line. But the line gets blurred when political opinion- makers get creative about the way they take on their detractors — often losing any modicum of decency, and occasionally triggering intense debate.

The Polish city of Poznan is in the throes of just such a debate — sparked by a billboard that merges Mickey Mouses image with that of a swastika and a nude woman's body representing what its Italian creator calls the horrors of the American lifestyle.

The giant poster, which went up in June in the western city of Poznan just steps from a synagogue, is an Italian artist's take on what he calls the "horrors" of the American lifestyle and is one piece of artwork in a contemporary art exhibition opening in the autumn.

But the reactions show that in Poland, where memories of the suffering inflicted during Nazi rule remain strong, there is little appetite for satirical or artistic uses of images linked to Nazi Germany.

"This art provocation is a form of violence against the sensitivity of many people," said Norbert Napieraj, a city council member who asked prosecutors to ban the poster.

Prosecutors, however, determined that the poster is art and does not violate the country's laws against glorifying Nazism, the Telegraph reported.

These kind of incidents take place when a party or a group of people try to be creative to attract more attention to prove their point however the problem starts when the other group misreads the intentions of the posters or canvases and give birth to the outrage and controversies like this.

Obama Deception Censored on YouTube : Watch Video from Infowars

Th video which had more than 6.5 million views and was on its way to reveal the things have been taken off from you tube without any information which upset the of Infowars, Alex Jones.

“This was a criminal act, and You Tube needs to investigate, track the IP and find out who did it,” Alex Jones said. “The Obama Deception was getting more and more popular, and the establishment doesn’t like the fact that it exposes the Left-Right paradigm and identifies Obama as a puppet,” he added.

Only a few hours later, Google trends rankings revealed that it was the #1 search term, above Lindsay Lohan, the BP Oil Spill or the death of George Steinbrenner.

What’s more, the viewcount grew by nearly 100,000 in that same single day, demonstrating the accelerated attention the film has been receiving. Further, as a result of topping the online trends charts, dozens of fresh reviews in online papers and blogs were published, including Blue Star Chronicles, Mahoo News and Live Street Journal.

The Video has been multiplied on Youtube and one shall be able to find it on YouTube or some other video site. Infowars would be doing necessary as they have not gone against the policies and video cannot be removed without their consent. This is been done either by high class hacking or removed on the direct orders fro the government.

Nelson Mandela Day to be observed today on July 18 : United Nations

United Nations has declared the July 18th 2010 as the Nelson Mandela Day. This announcement has been made to honor the father of South Africa on his 92nd birthday. The UN earlier in November 2009 passed a resolution for the purpose.

Mandela led the freedom struggle in South Africa as the head of the African National Congress. He was sentenced to 27 years in prison accusing sabotage and other serious crimes. He became the President of South Africa and won the first complete Democratic election in 1994.

The UN appreciates and acknowledges his leading role in Africa’s liberation, unity and the creation of a non-racial, non sexist and a democratic South Africa.

Mandela recently suffered great shock when he lost his great granddaughter in a car accident on the eve of the World Cup’s opening match in South Africa.

I guess this is the right step taken by UN as we should forget heroes like Mandela who has dedicated his life for the liberation and democracy for the nation.

Everytime, I see Mr Mandela, he reminds me of our national hero Mahatma Gandhi

Epic Browser Powered by Mozilla : Features, Review & Download Link

A Bangalore based company Hidden Reflex has developed what it calls the world’s first browser for Indians. Epic, as the browser is called, has social networking widgets, email clients and chat clients pre-installed.

It’s Indian because it allows the user to type in 12 Indian languages including Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bangla, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Gurmukhi and even Sanskrit. It has over 1500 Indian themes and wallpapers. It also claims it has 1500- plus sidebar applications, in addition to the 10,000 or so Firefox applications that are already compatible since both Epic and Firefox are based on the same Mozilla open source platform.

Perhaps the developers also believe that Indian web users are a bunch of lazy mouse potatoes. Why else would you make all virus scanning automatic? But jokes apart, the look of the browser is pretty neat. It is quick to download and installs fairly without any hassle.

It has a clean look and although it claims it downloads web pages the fastest, our initial reaction was that it is as fast (or slow) as Firefox. ,Banner ads rendering on pages is a problem. For instance, the top banner ad never got displayed in the time we tested the browser. Which, come to think of it, is not really a bad thing because users can now ignore banner ads completely and concentrate on content. The site publishers may not be okay with that though.

But what is really impressive about the browser is that its email and chat and social media widgets open in a window on the left of the main browser window so that you can carry on with your work and keep an eye open for a chat message or a new email on the left. I thought it would be obtrusive, but it is not really. I quite like this feature.

Download the browser from http://www.epicbrowser.com/.

On the whole, Epic is a more than just a decent attempt — and although it is certainly not India’s first indigenous browser, it looks to be the “ country’s” most impressive so far.

Fiat Launches New Diesel Version of Grande Punto

Fiat India on Friday launched the Grande Punto 90HP multijet, its latest diesel variant in the premium hatchback segment.

Equipped with a 1.3 - litre multijet engine, powered by a variable geometry turbocharger, the car will be India’s most powerful diesel hatchback. Priced at Rs 6.79 lakh (ex - showroom price, Delhi), the car will compete directly with diesel variants of Hyundai i20, Maruti Swift and Tata Indica.

“ The launch of Grande Punto 90 HP multijet is aimed at consolidating our position within the performance diesel segment, which has been relatively untapped until now,” said Rajeev Kapoor, chief executive officer (CEO) and president, Fiat India.

The version is equipped with a 1.3 - litre multijet engine power of 93 PS and torque of 209 NM. The company claims the variant offers a mileage of 20 km per litre. This car comes with dual stage airbags, automatic climate control, anti - lock braking system (ABS) and alloy wheels.

“ The competition is stiff, we agree. But the car has many distinguishing feature like most powerful diesel engine and fuel efficiency. Moreover, this hatchback can also be personalised,” Kapoor added.

“ In fact, the Indian car market is getting very interesting and happening, and customers are spoilt for choice. With such stiff competition customers will get a cost advantage and there is hardly any scope for price hike, even when the input cost is going up,” Kapoor said.

The car offers customers a choice of personalisation through a special accessory pack that includes a rear spoiler, chrome exhaust tip, body decals, sporty aluminium pedals, leather seat covers and Punto branded door sill.

According to S. Krishnan, senior vice - president, commercial passenger vehicles of Tata Motors, which is a 50 per cent partner in Fiat India, “ The diesel car market is expected to grow at a much faster pace, which will suddenly see lots of technical innovation in a diesel engine. Moreover, it is more fuel and cost efficient.” The company is also developing another small car for the Indian market, which will be launched by 2012. Also, Fiat is planning to launch a new variant of its mid - sized sedan Linea by September as it aims to double sales during this fiscal to about 45,000 units.

Grande Punto, which was launched last year, is the third offering from the stable of Fiat after Linea and Palio.

Tere Bin Laden Movie Review, Story and Rating

It's a little amateurish, and that takes away a few points from Tere Bin Laden . To be fair, a satire attempt is a big deal for a newcomer director. So, kudos to Abhishek Sharma for trying.

Let’s just go with the awful truth that not everyone can pull it off with the smarts which Kundan Shah showed when he gave us his pathbreaking debut feature Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro , definitely the best satire Bollywood’s made in all these years.

Tere Bin Laden tries to be a cocky account of a Pakistani reporter, Ali Hassan (Ali Zafar), who wants to migrate to the US. But his visa request always gets rejected. Ali hits upon a weird idea to realise his dream one day when he comes across a timid poultry owner, Noora (Pradhuman Singh), who looks like Osama bin Laden.

Ali decides to produce a fake video with Noora posing as Osama, and sell it to a TV channel in India. The video gets made and Ali bags some quick cash by selling it to the channel, too.

The film tries drawing its satire quotient primarily from what happens next. The Americans send their team of secret agents, headed by a pompous officer named Ted Wood (the name almost seems like director Sharma’s tribute to Tim Burton’s brilliant satire biopic Ed Wood , starring Johnny Depp). A sociopolitical commentary is attempted as Ted and company, along with the Pakistani sleuths chase the fake Osama and try to bring him down.

Tere Bin Laden was a good idea.

Almost a decade after 9/ 11, when the trauma has somewhat dulled, this looks like the right time to analyse the man- made tragedy with farcical irreverence. What this film needed was a little more intelligence. It’s one thing for a script to pretend it’s silly (that’s the hallmark of good satire in any case), but it’s quite another to unfold a story that simply lacks depth.

The young cast could have done with better character sketches. Pradhuman as the fake bin Laden in particular tends to overdo his comic act, but then the guy hardly gets scope to do better.

Watch Inception for brilliant story - Check Review, Rating

Now here’s a film with quality written all over it. Inception is directed by Christopher Nolan — he’s the guy who gave us The Dark Knight , Memento , Insomnia and The Prestige . The posters also have Leo DiCaprio splattered all over. He’s one actor who knows how to mix blockbuster fun with sensible cinema, much like apna Aamir Khan.

You went in hoping Inception wouldn’t go wrong. It doesn’t.

The film is billed as a sci- fi thriller. It works as a surreal dream, a top- rate crime caper, a superb action flick and a complex drama all at once. Clearly, Nolan’s ambition was to create a devilishly intricate flick that pushes the limits on entertainment and teases your brain cells, way beyond what Memento did.

In that sense, Inception isn’t a film that you can merely sit back and enjoy. It’s a clever movie that engages you as a viewer all through its two - and half hour runtime.

This is the story of Dom Cobb, played by DiCaprio. He’s a thief with a difference. Cobb can enter your mind in a dream state and steal vital secrets embedded in your sub conscience.

Cobb’s talent makes him a star in a world where corporate espionage is fast gaining ground. Of course, since he’s also wanted by the law all over the world, his job profile has taken a tragic toll on his personal life.

The plot- pusher unfolds by way of a very different job that comes Cobb’s way. Along with a team of ‘ specialists’, he has to pull off a reverse assignment.

Instead of stealing an idea, Cobb has to lead the team into a person’s mind to plant an idea into the sub conscience.

Of course, the job will go wrong. And the twist, which the glitch brings in its wake as Cobb and company try to accomplish their mission, makes for a gripping finalé.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s success as far as Inception goes lies more in selecting a smart flick and role than in executing it.

Seasoned ace that the actor is, he’s terrific — no doubt about that. But more than the performance, Nolan’s given Leo a role that will mark top-of-the line recall for his fan base over the years to come. For the sheer unconventional swing it is soaked in.

Rating - 4 / 5

Inception Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ken Watanabe, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon- Levitt
Direction: Christopher Nolan

Old Spice Man is hit on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter

Journalists would die rather than endorse a brand in print (well, at least, most of us would), but to not mention Old Spice this week would be to commit a cardinal sin. The Procter & Gamble men’s toiletries brand rewrote every rule of marketing there ever was to create a buzz for a product as mundane as a shower gel.

The concept was so simple it left the geniuses in the advertising world wondering why they did not think of it earlier. But then that’s what simple products do — Velcro and Post- It notes, for instance. What Old Spice did in two days, speculates a Forbes magazine blog writer, could become case studies in the world’s top management schools and indeed corporate boardrooms.

Here is what Old Spice’s advertising agency Wieden+ Kennedy did. They took their already popular Old Spice commercial starring actor and former American football star Isaiah Mustafa and made it interactive in real time by merging three video and social networks — YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

Every single comment that viewers and readers put on the original commercial was remade into another video with Mustafa responding to fan messages.

One such fan asked the Old Spice Man if he would help him ask his girlfriend to marry him.

In the next one hour or so, Wieden+ Kennedy shot, edited and broadcast a request from Mustafa asking the girl to accept his proposal. She did, and the Web went into raptures.

Mustafa’s videos became a rage and before long some of the best known personalities on social media including Twitter CTO Biz Stone, were endorsing the Old Spice Man.

Tech blog TechCrunch reported that Google CFO Patrick Pichette was “impressed” with the campaign.

Stone said, “We are cracking up following @ OldSpice and watching these hilarious responses on YouTube.” When the YouTube blitz reached 140 videos, Stone tweeted again: “Wow, @ oldspice channel has exactly 140 YouTube videos. Does that smell like coincidence or something more powerful?” The 140 reference being, of course, the character limit on Twitter.

In less than 24 hours, the Old Spice page on Twitter had reached 71,000 followers, a rate of growth seen only by true blue celebrities such as talk show host Oprah Winfrey, cricketer Sachin Tendulkar and basketball superstar LeBron James.

To keep up the celebrity quotient, most of the personal replies were to well known people. Some of them included former US President Bill Clinton’s political adviser and TV show host George Stephanopoulos, actor and singer Alyssa Milano, and the grandest name of all, actor Demi Moore, who had tweeted, “Old Spice Guy, I want a special video response now”. Who could say no to Demi Moore? By the way, the Demi Moore response video also took only an hour to be written, shot, edited and uploaded on YouTube.
