Bomb blast in Hyderabad at gokul chat and lumbini park

Hyderabad, Aug 25 (PTI) At least 20 persons were killed and nearly 60 injured in two powerful near-simultaneous blasts at a crowded park and a popular eating joint here this evening.

Eight persons died when an explosion ripped through an auditorium in Lumbini Park in the heart of the city when a laser show was on, police said.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh tonight condemned the bomb blasts in Hyderabad and expressed deep concern.

Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy held an emergency meeting with top police officials and soon afterwards rushed to the spot.

The blast occurred at about 7.45 pm when the laser show at Lumbini Park had just started. So powerful was the blast that some of bodies were flung into the air and scattered over the area.

In another blast around the same time at Gokul chat bhandar at Kothi area, at least 12 persons were killed and scores were injured.

The police cordoned off the areas and sounded a red alert across the city and conducted searches at railway stations and bus depots.

The profusely bleeding injured were admitted to Osmania Hospital, Mediciti and other hospitals.

There was confusion about what exactly had caused the explosion at the eatery after initial reports said it was due to a cylinder blast.

However, police suspect that going by the impact and high casualties, it could be triggered by RDX.

The twin blasts today came three months after the powerful explosion at Mecca Masjid here in May last.

More 2 BOMBS have been disabled by the police, which were found at Dilsukhnagar.
Dilsukhnagar is also a very crowded place.

Y.S.Rajasekhar reddy say's that the Bomb blasts are responsible by the TERRORISTS.
He declares this is the work of the ISI's.
Mr L.K.Advani is coming to Hyderabad tomorrow on the eve of bomb blasts.
The bombs placed are Timer Bombs.
-some students from maharashtra engineering college came for an industrial tour and and were affected in the blasts.The bus driver of that college b.n.khandekar says atleast 3 or 4 students were killed and they are joined in mediciti hospitals.

Koena Mitra denies Item number

She’s quite surprised at the news reports about her doing an item number down south, especially since Koena Mitra has her eyes on Hollywood right now. The actress informs us, “I have just signed a Hollywood film Karna , and I have no plans of doing an item number or a film down south right now for the simple reason that I would like to concentrate on Karna right now. I can’t talk about the project right now as I am under contract, but the news that I am doing an item number has come as quite a shock to me. I don’t know who is spreading these rumours.” The shooting for Karna has already begun and Koena is pretty engrossed in this exciting venture, we hear. With Orlando Bloom in the picture, we can’t really blame her, can we?

Akshay Kumar is very happy with Indian films

If most of the Hindi film industry is looking Westwards, Akshay Kumar isn’t biting the bait. The actor, thank you very much, is quite happy with his lot of Hindi films. Ask him about the rumours of him being approached for Hollywood films and he says, “I’ve never been approached for anything like that.” And what if he is approached for such films in the future? “I will do them if I get something very good. I won’t do it
if I’m only in a supporting role. I’m very happy doing Indian films, so I wouldn’t even consider such films at the moment.”

He’s now been cast with promising newcomer Deepika Padukone in Nikhil Advani’s next film which will be his comeback to action. What did he think of her? “I think she’s very good.” And has he met and interacted with her yet? “Yes, I’ve met her once,” he says.

Talking about his other forthcoming films, was he doing a sequel to his earlier hit Khiladi , we ask. “No, they’re just rumours,” he clarifies. And the sequel to the Hera Pheri series titled International Hera Pheri? Were they rumours too? “Nothing has been finalised on that front,” is all he’ll say. What about the Samna and Raghuveer which were to be made with him? “No idea about those films.” Whew! Looks like AK is on a denial spree alright.

And the rumours linking him to other actresses, we ask. Did they affect the family? “The whole family stands united against these types of rumours. Anybody who attacks the family will be dealt with,” says the actor. Considering he’s a martial arts expert, the rumour mongers had better look out.

Hey Baby film review

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Fardeen Khan, Vidya Balan and Boman Irani.
Director: Sajid Khan
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Rating: *** ½

If last week’s Chak De India was a film which could resonate to you through sport, Heyy Babyy does the same with a little baby.Contrary to what it may seem, Heyy Babyy is not a rip-off of Three men and a baby . Though you can draw parallels in the initial reels, the film tends to be quite different post the first half hour. Although the storyline is not out of the world, it is intriguing thanks to the
writers Sajid Khan and Milap Zaveri.

Aroush (Akshay Kumar), Tanmay (Ritesh Deshmukh) and Ali (Fardeen Khan) are three playboy room-mates residing in Sydney, Australia. They romance, dine and bed a number of women without thinking of how much hurt they might cause to them. One fine day, there is a knock on the door which changes their lives forever. A baby girl is kept at their door-step with a note saying ‘ kutte kamine apne bachche ko sambhalo ’.
Obviously one of them impregnated a girl and now she wants nothing of the kid. Not knowing to whom the note was referred to, the three have no choice but to take care of the baby. The guys who used to romance women just so that they could get their underwears washed are now trapped changing diapers and answering midnight baby tantrums. But, the innocence of the baby wins the hearts of the three and love prevails between them and its one big happy family now.

However, after coming to know of the whereabouts of the baby’s mother, the movie moves into a complete different direction. Its not about cleaning baby poop now, it’s about obtaining a loved one.

Having followed Sajid Khan’s personality as well as the promos of the film, one would think that this is going to be an out and out comedy, but that is not the case. After the preliminary goofy set-up of the guys trying hard to take care of the baby, it moves in another direction when the three abandon the baby outside a Church and she almost dies in the rain and when the mother stakes claim over the baby.

However, the film is not without its cons. There are a couple of extra songs in the second half that could have easily been avoided. But the Dil Ka Mamla with Shah Rukh Khan rocks though his presence in the film seemed a bit forced.

Kumar Sanu's divorce linked with Meenakshi seshadri

A report was published in 1994 flimfare magazine that kumar sanu's wife rita filed a divorce suit . in her paper sanu's wife told that she wanted divorce and meenakshi seshadri was responsible for that. meenakshi and sanu both loved each other pasionately. similar report was published in other mag like aarpar etc .so media got a new hot topic. so they went to meenakshi and asked her about it. meenakshi angrily replied she did not know the reporter should ask kumar sanu and his wife. HOw mischevious behaviour of meenakshi, a woman seeked divorce from her husband blaming meenakshi.and meenakshi did not protest and remained silent . Anyone in world would protest and took legal action against sanu's wife. but meenakshi remained silent.. she knew if she would made any noise, then all trues were exposed and her chuimui and satisavitri image. Meenakshi then lived in a paradise ,anyone except herself knew what was her shady character.
WHen reporter asked rita sanu (sanu's wife).she blamed sanu and meenakshi for her on going divorce suit. She told reporter that she was pregnant but she had no money and sanu spent all his income to that whore. Rita told that at first she did not believe an educated and senior actress like meenakshi could do this kind of activity. but after watching some time all things came clear to me . She told also she had every information, how cruelty and vulgarly sanu was enjoying meenakshi, how dirtily meenakshi was satisfying sanu's sexual urge. Even they performed sexual acts in front of her when she protested against their shady relation.

she always involved such kind of shady activity but any one did not suspect her, meenakshi herself admitted in showtime mag1n1993 that she was most sexy girl in bollywood industry, she did all kind of activities but any one did not understand,
At first sanu was involved with smaller actress like kunika but then sanu was not so famous but later he involved with meenakshi in her divorce paper sanu's wife mentioned meenakshi's name not kunika's . Anyone could verfify that divorse paper going to calcutta high court and even judges of calcutta high court asked
kumar sanu to present in court on23rd november, 1993. Beside this if kumar sanu's wife intentionally mentioned name of meenakshi why did not she protest, why did not meenakshi filed a defamation case against her. anybody in world did that but meenakshi did nothing, remained silent as always when her name was involved in any scandal.
After rita sanu reporters went to ask sanu but sanu did not answer, so reporters caught sanu secretary, He admitted that Dada(sanu) had many girl friends, he spent night with them but dada woluld not marry them. but Baudi(bhavi, Sanu's wife ) did not understand that. What Was wrong if dada Would enjoy some good women,Every powerful and sucessful man did that but they did not divorsc's theirs wives. Then reporter asked secretary who was his dada's current girl friend, they mentioned
kunika's name ,but secretary replied those days were gone,that a small star like kunika would be dada's girlfriend, dada's current girl friend was a famous heroine. when reporter asked the name of that girl. secretary told that he could not name the girl. it could harm his carrier.but after many request he told that he did not metioned name but the girl was feaured in dada's favourite song of a movie and she was heroine of that movie and would make a bengali film with that girl.any one asked kumar sanu in those days, he always answered only one song ' jab koi baat bigar jaye, muskil me par jaye tab mere saath dena oh hamsanam' of flim jurm. and the song was picturised on meenakshi and she was heroine of that flim so according to sanu's secretary's information sanu' s girl friend was that time was meenakshi and after some time sanu admitted that he would made a bengali flim ganer bhuban firiye dobo with meenakshi. why meenakshi went out from that flim that was another story to continue.

Sanjay Dutt released on Bail

After an array of disappointments regarding the Tada court’s verdict for Sanjay Dutt, there is some good news for the Dutt family and also to Bollywood fraternity. Sanju baba has been granted a seven day interim bail by the court. Family and friends of Sanju baba are celebrating the court’s decision.

Can you guess what the lovable actor is going to do in the bail period that he gets? Well, if you think he is going to spend a quiet time at home, then you are wrong. The actor will oblige his friend Rajkumar Hirani by doing a cameo in Hirani’s next film starring Shah Rukh Khan. A source was quoted saying, “Sanju has a crucial cameo in the film. Hirani considers Sanju his lucky mascot and he couldn’t have made a film without him. Also, Shah Rukh and Sanju make a good pair.” Rumors are that Sanju baba will be spending all of his bail time to finish the movies that are halted because of his imprisonment. And these include Sanjay Gupta’s Alibaug and Sanjay Gadhvi’s Kidnap. In the meanwhile Sanjay Gupta says, “We will surely resume shooting but it all depends on Sanju’s frame of mind. He will call the shots in this case. The moment he is ready to shoot, we will do so.”

Surely Sanjay Dutt is a committed actor and he has also got a great friends circle in the industry.

Rajkumar Santoshi movie based on real life

A director who always pours his heart on celluloid can be none other than Raj Kumar Santoshi. This time, he has retuned with a real-life story of a reel-life hero, Ajay Devgan, under Abdol Samee Siddiqui's production. Santoshi has named the movie 'Halla Bol'. He tells us why he made this movie at this period of time. He has been known though for swimming against the tide in Bollywood by making different genres of movies at different times. Santoshi spoke to media on what will potentially make 'Halla Bol' another unforgettable film from his stable. He justifies the choice of Ajay Devgan as hero and Vidya Balan as heroine. He has also involved his star friends through their guest appearances. Santoshi is looking forward to the viewers' response to 'Halla Bol' before contemplating the theme of his next movie.

Sunil shetty happy and sad

Suniel Shetty has just returned from Chandigarh after being appointed the brand ambassador for hockey….to hear some good news.

"It's really heartening to hear Sanju is being released on interim bail. What do I say? It's an answer to all the prayers that people have sent up for him. It's the junta's goodwill that has kept him going. It's Sanju who has brought the concept of Gandhi-giri to people. And I believe he truly believes in peace. Sanju is totally converted."

Suniel is currently confused about being appointed the brand ambassador for hockey. "It was an awesome experience to be given the responsibility to revive the game. I may be a right choice. But after seeing Chak De I think Shah Rukh Khan is a much better choice for representing hockey for the country. I saw the film twice. And I'm completely bowled over by Shah Rukh's performance. He could play anything. But he chooses to play this serious troubled hockey coach. I think Shah Rukh has his stardom for a good 50 years more. Chak De proves it."

Suniel feels he's the wrong choice to endorse hockey. "I seriously want them to reconsider my appointment. I mean, there I was being appointed brand ambassador for the game while Shah Rukh is bringing hockey back into favour like nobody's business."

Imprisonment chances for A.R.Rahman

A.R. Rahman – the proud Indian he has always been, had released Vande Mataram on the occasion of the 50th year of independence and in the 60th year he came up with an album "Jana Gana Mana".

Even though the intentions were good, he seems to have forgotten that there is a law that the national anthem should be sung in a specific way and should be finished within the stipulated seconds.



And if done otherwise it is deemed as disrespect to the national anthem and could attract a sentence of a maximum of three years imprisonment. And now many people are ready to sue Rahman for this action.

"Do good, there will be none to support; do good, there will be hundreds to find fault". How true is this statement!

Bipasha Basu is adventurous

Bipasha Basu will now be seen on cell phones too in a game which has a character based on her jet-skiing and doing other stunts also.

The actress has come out with a mobile game called Jet Ski Champ where Bipasha will contend for the finish line on mobiles. When we met the actress last, she spoke about the miniature Bipasha Basu who’ll be seen on mobile screens.

“She is so little, that you can hardly make out that it’s me, but I love this character,” she says.

And unlike her, the real Bips, though adventurous and all that, isn’t too much of a jet ski champ. “I do get a little cautious when it comes to this sport,” she candidly confesses.

Well, the gal is sure moving at jet speed in the jet-age, and making most of her big screen and now mini-screen image, too!
