Why do girls always fall for the wrong guy? Their mothers warn them about him. Their friends shake their heads disapprovingly. Their minds tell them to escape while the going is good. But no! oh no! Their hearts are another story. You see, they are sending all the wrong signals. His name alone is enough to scramble their brains and set their hearts racing.Meet Raj. He is the stuff of dreams, with the looks of a 'butter wouldn't melt in my mouth' good boy.In real life Ranbir Kapoor may be dating only Deepika Padukone, but in Siddharth Anand’s Bachna Ae Haseeno, “the carefree alpha male” will romance Bipasha Basu, Minissha Lamba and Deepika Padukone.Who can blame him for falling in love as many times as love is fortunate enough to find him. It's not his fault that he's a heartbreaker, it's in his DNA.Come discover his three love stories; Raj and Mahi, Raj and Radhika, Raj and Gayatri. Different ladyloves at different times in his life. And each of them, teach him a little bit about love and a little bit about life, in their own sweet, sexy or sassy way.Come fall in love... three times.RAJ (Ranbir Kapoor)The accidental lover. Easy, boyish charm is something no guy can cultivate. You have to be born with it. Like Raj. He's not your regular boy next door though he has a misleading quality; his 'butter wouldn't melt in my mouth' good boy charm. Couple this with a sense of humour and an unintentional sex appeal and you have a package that is lethal in its irresistibility. So, really, you can't blame the poor boy for the effect he has on women. At the same time he's not really complaining. MAHI (Minissha Lamba)Sweet, romantic, innocent Mahi. She believes that the world is her oyster. So what, if it was limited just to Amritsar most of her life. That doesn't stop the universe from conspiring to make all her wishes come true. Her life is made of stuff rarely found outside of a Hallmark card. She is a happy child. The chosen one. She truly believes that nothing bad will ever happen to her. Her path will be decked by rainbows and strewn with flowers. That's where she walks, humming a happy song, with a Mills & Boon in one hand and her one true love holding the other. RADHIKA (Bipasha Basu)The gorgeous one. She's a sexy and confident girl. Lives in Mumbai, on her own terms. In her own flat. She is a dancer with Shiamak, and has the ambitions to shine on the silver screen. She is a girl of today. She doesn't feel any false modesty when it comes to showing her feelings for the opposite sex. She shrugs away all the old fashioned rules set by society, as she believes in doing what makes her happy. As long as, it doesn't compromise with the happiness of her lover. GAYATRI (Deepika Padukone)She is like any of the other girls who move to another country to study and to eventually make it big. And yet, she's unlike any other girl. She's smart and she's sassy. She's beautiful and she's ambitious. She knows what she wants and she knows how to get it. Life can be tough for a girl living alone in a strange land. But Gayatri is fearless. Her already beautiful eyes sparkle when faced with challenge. Nothing will stop this girl from achieving what she wants from life. Or from loveActress Katrina Kaif and Amrita Rao were also considered to play one of the leading ladies but finally both were removed. Siddharth Anand previously directed Salaam Namaste (2005) and Ta Ra Rum Pum (2007)The film releases on Independence Day.

John Hancock (Will Smith) is an unhappy, alcoholic superhero who is living in his own world. He has saved numerous lives in Los Angeles over the years, but in doing so has caused widespread property damage costing the city millions of dollars.

One day, Hancock saves Ray Embrey, a public-relations spokesperson whose attempts to market his world-changing "All-Heart" charity aren't gaining traction, from being run over by a train (in the process causing a massive derailment in Hancock's haphazard manner).

The latest offering “JANNAT” from the Mukesh Bhatt & Mahesh Bhatt camp under the banner of Vishesh Films -- essentially a love-story based on the burning issue of match fixing. Sticking to their tradition of introducing new faces, movie Jannat has a new face in female lead. While Adah makes her debut in Bhatts thriller movie 1920, movie ‘Jannat’ see Sonal Chauhan stepping in the world of bollywood movies. The film stars Emraan Hashmi and debutant Sonal Chauhan in lead roles Emraan Hashmi, "the serial kisser" who earlier said ‘No’ to kiss scenes, after he got married, seems to have broken the promise this time and has enacted a few intimate sequences with leading lady Sonal Chauhan. Sonal Chauhan, "hottie" from the world of fashion to bollywood movies. Former Miss World Tourism Sonal Chauhan she has achieved lot of success in modeling. She was the first Indian to win Miss World Tourism title. Besides the ramp walk, she has done number of advertisement campaigns in print and electronic media The story of “JANNAT”, which literally means Paradise or Swarg, revolves around a man who is caught in a quagmire of crime and consumerism as he struggles to find heaven on earth. Arjun (Emraan Hashmi) is a reckless young man with an obsession for making money at card games. A chance meeting with a girl in a mall, Zoya (Sonal Chauhan) gives him the reasons he (Arjun) was looking for to move out of his ordinary life. He steps up from playing a small-time card games to becoming a bookie. Stuck in a triangle of sorts between the woman he loves and his addiction to make a quick buck, Arjun moves on from being a bookie to a runner for the mafia. He steps into the world match fixing. Arjun switches on the limelight to bigger, faster, better, more, until his dizzying rise attracts the attention of police. Arjun has now to choose between the love of his life Zoya, and this new found success and power. As Arjun struggles to choose between the two, the Don offers the forbidden apple of limitless wealth in exchange of his soul and draws him into his core entourage of money spinners. The film has been shot extensively in Cape Town and Mumbai. The association of Cricket, questions this film to be of sports genre, but Mukesh Bhatt had made it clear in an interview that cricket was only a backdrop of the film and the actuality of the movie is a love story for young couples, with an issue of victims of consumerism. 'Jannat' has eight songs of which Pritam Chakraborty has composed seven songs and none of them is below average. In fact, each one deserves to be given at least one hearing. This time, Pritam ensures that the masses enjoy and remember the album. Pritam does a good job in 'Jannat' and his roping in of singers from across the border has resulted in noteworthy renditions. In fact, 'Jannat' has been consistent with great singing by each and every singer on board. * The first song 'Door na jaa' is impressive from the word 'go'. Pritam brings back earlier compositions of his into the track in a much more classical way and deserves thumbs up for this number. * 'Haan tu hain' also boasts of a great rendition by KK. The track is pretty decent, but not an all rounder like the previous one. The second winner comes in the form of 'Jannat jahaan'. A 'rock' song, it enthralls you with its music that is addictive. 'Jannat jahaan' may have the 'Bhatt Camp' tag on it, but it doesn't get repetitive or boring at all. 'Judai', a track sung and composed by Kamran Ahmed, plays next. Falling in the rock genre again, out to captivate the audience, 'Judai' has been amazingly rendered, composed and written. 'Lambi judai' sees Richa Sharma rendering her vocals. Richa, who usually signs folksy numbers, does a pretty good job, a noteworthy performance! KK entertains his fans with 'Zara sa' which comes next. While the song has Pritam written all over it, it still manages to surprise you with the music. The music is soothing, pleasing and the kind one would like to sing along with. Overall seems to be a good movie little for music and little for the concept. With their hunt on for a bona fide box office hit, Vishesh Films have all the right reasons to believe in Jannat as their trump card.

TASHAN from YRF is a sheer disaster on box office. I did not expect such a bullshit from Yashraj banner. The "Tashan" between YSF and the multiplexes is valid. If YSF makes this kind of movies it is better that they carry on with this "TASHAN". Aditya Chopra said in an interview that in future even if the multiplexes comes on their knees he would'nt show it in multiplexes, I would like to tell him that if he makes such kind of movies even the viewers wont see his movies even if he comes on bended knees and gives free tickets.
Tashan......nothing to say. The story as said earlier is BULL-SHIT. Such good actors have been wasted.
Kareena.... The only noticeable thing about Kareena in the movie was her bikini and small "chaddi" (as I heard in theatre people saying they have come to see) I need to rethink whether she can act... the same kareena who acted in Chameli.
Storyline very predictable. The shot in which Akshay Kumar narrating about his past life (in which he lost his crush)was very predictable. A small boy of around 10-12 years or so said that it will be Kareena the lost love of Akshay Kumar.
The only breather in the film is "BACCHAN PANDEY"(AKSHAY KUMAR)
The entry of Bacchan Pandey and his acting good but wasted in a ugliest movie.
Overall the ugliest movie I have ever seen under this banner. Please dont even think of passing by a theatre where this movie is being showed, who knows if some frustated viewer comes out of the theatre in the mood of ..................................
"TASHAN"
I RATE IT THE UGLIEST
