                      DYNAMITE DUO After super success of Judwaa and the more recent blockbuster Biwi No.1, David Dhawan and Salman Khan will be paired again in Gordhan Tanwani's ' Mujhse Shaadi Karoge '. Karishma Kapoor will be the heroine of the film and will also star Govinda as a secondary lead. Incidentally, the title of the film was originally for Satish Kaushik's Anil-Sonali-Aishwarya starrer. But the latter film's title has now been changed to ' Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai '. 
  The  star of the indeed of the whole year , is  undoubtedly Superstar Salman Khan . Just look at his career statistics from 1999.  Five releases, a hit and two super duper hits. And a guest appearance in another hit (Sirf Tum) . The year started auspiciously for Sallu. The mega hit of 1998,  Kuch Kuch Hota Hai , continued its dream run through the first half of this year. True, the movie was a Shah Rukh vehicle, but at least it got the tiny muscleman his first ever Filmfare Award (for best supporting actor). Then followed  Jaanam Samjha Karo  with Urmila. Sure it was a coverage film, but Sallu escaped with  his star appeal intact . As was proved by the  twin successes of Biwi No.1 and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam . The fact that two movies with the same star -- released within a space of a fortnight of each other -- could  attract such fantastic initials , proved that Salman's fans had forgiven him for the blackbuck-shooting fiasco.  Bi...
  What is this minority audience." and what sort of films does it want to see on the Hindi screen? If you derive more satisfaction from seeing a film like "Garm Hawa" rather than films like "Jugnu",  "Yaadon Ki Baaraat" or "Bobby", then you are "the minority "audience. film producers, especially Hindi And Alm producers, have never made films for you, because for them you do not exist. Your miserable patronage at the box-office does not add those Innumerable zeroes to collection figures touted week after week in the Trade Journal Advertisements as "Breaking All Records etc. etc. At about total productions of around 450 films were released this year among which the most successful films of the year were Bobby, Yaadon Ki Baaraat, Jugnu, Zanjeer, Loafer, Anuraag, Daag, Victoria No.203, Kahani Kismet Ki, Dharma, Samadhi, Heera, Namak Haraam, Aa Gale Lag Jaa, Do Chor, Anhonee, Manchali, Jaise Ko Taisa, Abhimaan, Jheel Ke Uss Paar, J...

    Amitabh Bachchan —  The True Superstar What is the indefinable ' something ' that plases a son of an accounts executive on the altar of success at which millions of crazed fans come to make obeisance. In short what make Amitabh Bachchan a superstar? Amitabh Bachchan fans almost murdered him in Calcutta — with Love.  The trend has changed from the romantic age. Violence is the theme of today. There was no one who could play the angry young man ; and the void was filled by the volcanic Amitabh Bachchan. Fortunately, Zanjeer clicked and become a big hit at the box-office and Amitabh was riding high and when Deewar become a blockbuster , he was rated number two by trade next only to Dharmendra. One cannot identify with Amitabh Bachchan. He's aloof as the angry young man.  1978 will be remembered as the Amitabh Bachchan undoubtedly.  dominated the year like a One Man Army. No one had dominated a year like Amitabh Bachchan apart from his contemporaries Dharme...
